Library Makes Appeal To Students
National Library Week is a
good time to learn (and practice)
the TEN COMMANDMENTS of
the LIBRARY.
1. Thou shalt not hesitate to ask
for help when thou needeth it.
2. Thou shalt not forget that the
library closeth at the times listed
and that the library staff needeth
time off for refreshment and
relaxation—five days shalt they
labor and do all their work.
3. Thou shalt not attempt to
check out books without thine—
and thine only—current I.D. card
(no keys, meal tickets, credit cards
etc).
4. Thou shalt not keep library
materials past the date due, for
thy librarian is a jealous librarian,
guarding the needs of the many
FEATURE
against the covetousness of the
carefree few.
5. Thou shalt keep the library
informed of thy current address in
case thou breaketh commandment
four and incurreth wrath and
overdue fines.
6. Thou shalt maintain a
studious manner in the library,
remembering that others needeth
peace and quiet.
7. Thou shalt not bring food in
to the inner sanctum.
8. Thou shalt become familiar

fire have been called “the last of
the indomitable pioneers who
carved out of mountain soil not
only a living, but, a tough, joyous
way of life which has almost
vanished today.”
The play’s inspiration was the
vast, folkloric treasury collected
by Eliot Wigginton and his high
school students in Rabun County,
Ga. for their Foxfire magazine
(published in book form by
Doubleday). For theatrical pur
poses, the adaptors have concen
trated on one mountain family -
the Nations. That is the essence of
Foxire - its characters and their
way of life.
In the beginning of the play, 79
year-old Annie Nations (played by
Colleen Kosack), is confronted by
an insistant real estate agent
(Dave McNeill) while she is

“I’m just silly about souse meat,”
she says.
Then conflicts arise between the
son and stem father over the son’s
frowned-upon musical activities
and his challenging modern
agricultural theories to the older
man’s unshakeable faith in
almanac “signs”. ~
It is these moments - tender,
richly comic, musical, touching -
that Foxfire makes its strongest
bid as a theatre work to be
treasured. Many of its parts are
genuinely affective, their poignan
cy touching the heart.
Foxfire will be performed in the
