Thespian
To Open
Songs, dances, and skits will trace the history of the Uni
versity at the original Thespian revue, "Take Ten," tonight,
tomorrow night and Saturday night.
The show begins at 8 p.m. in Schwab Auditorium.
Michael Rosenfeld wrote the songs, and Phillip Wein,
Louis Fryman and Rosenfeld wrote the scripts for the show.
Mary Tassia is choreographer and
Fryman 4s director.
The three playwrights spent a
week 'oil campus Writing and do
ing research for the play.
"Much research had to be done,
because we had to have a com
plete and correct history of the
school, with each song, dance, and
costume in the correct period,"
Fryman said.
Show Traces History
The show traces the history of
the University from the time it
was still in the planning stage
until the present Centennial year.
Each of the ten scenes repre
sents a decade, and the skit in
each scene centers around the
main expansion in the Univer
sity's program during that decade.
Fryman explained that extra
problems have been caused by the
length of time covred in the play,
"but it will still be the most ex
tensively-costumed show Thes
pians have ever produced," he
said. •
Segl Does Research
Walter Segl, who did the re
search for the costumes and set
tings, is chief of the construction
and technical crews.
The crowning of the Centennial
Homecoming Queen during the
finale will climax the production.
Some reprises will be taken in
the finale and an anniversary
song will be dedicated to the Uni
versity. The queen will be escort
ed to her throne by Fryman.
She will be chosen from among
the five finalists—Barbara Rine
hart, Lyn Myers, Ruth Kronen
wetter, Joyce Koch, and Valerie
Fife.
Identity Kept Secret
One of the five was chosen
queen Monday night by , the foot
ball team and coaches, but her
identity will not be disclosed un

Tickets are on sale at the Het
zel Union desk for $1 for Thurs

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
German Art
Exhibited
At Library
Five basic motifs of Pennsyl
vania German folk art are now on
exhibition at the Pattee Library.
The exhibit, arranged by Wal
ter E. Boyer, instructor in Eng
lish composition, is composed of
collections of artifacts from the
Mahantongo Valley area of Dau
phin and Northumberland coun
ties. It will continue until Oct. 31.
The artifacts have been ar
ranged to show the use of rhy
thmic lines, including the circle,
the square, the heart and tulip,
and the Tree of Life.
An additional group, which il
lustrates the use of the bird mo
tif, is included to show the nature
of secondary motifs in Pennsyl
vania German folk art.
The artifacts we r e arranged
in this manner to suggest the
probable symbolic value of the
motifs. They are made of many
materials, including paper, wool,
linen, brass, iron, tin and wood.
Included are five woolen cover
lets, six quilts, cookie cutters, but
ter moulds, a number of "tauf
scheins" (birth and baptismal cer
tificates), origiiial examples of the
work of John Paul of Elizabeth
ville, and photostats of work by
Samuel Diehl.
Boyer has been collecting Penn
sylvania German artifacts of the
Mahantongo Valley area for 15
years. His collection includes one
of the only two known pottery
wine coolers.
