Junior High Essayist
Wins in N. Y. contest
When Karen Carey’s English
teacher suggested to several
members of her eighth grade
class that they write essays to
submit to a contest in New York
City, Karen agreed. The Dallas
Junior High School student
loves writing (she had already
written several science fiction
stories), and she was familiar
with Shakespeare’s Macbeth,
the play on which the essay was
to be based.
After reading an essay by
DeQuincey entitled ‘On the
Knocking on the Gate in
Macbeth,’” (which Karen
recalls was ‘“‘much harder to
understand than Macbeth), and
rereading the play itself, Karen .
was ready to write her own
essay on ‘‘The Validity of Inter-
preting Macbeth as a Dream.”
She wrote the paper over a
series of weekends, and when
she finished at last the essay
totalled 2,000 words. Which
would have been fine, except
that contest rules specified a
500-word maximum. Karen and
Elaine Lawrence, her English
instructor, cut the essay to 750
words and finally, “by forget-
ting about the a’s and the’s,”
managed to chop the final draft
to 502 words.
The contest, which was open
to students in grades seven
through 12, drew entries from
schools throughout New York,
New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
Three judges read nearly 1,000
essays and selected 23 as final-
ists. Eight winners were
chosen, and Karen—the only
junior high school student to win
so much as a nod in the finals—
won second place honors.
In recognition of her achieve-
ment, Karen was invited along
with the other eight winners to
Karen Carey, an eighth grade student at the Dallas Junior High
School, won second place in a N.Y.C. essay contest recently. She

contest sponsor, as Alexander H. Cohen, contest judge, looks on.
New York City where she and
her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Carey of Limewood
Road, Shavertown, enjoyed the
100th performance of Macbeth
produced by the Cora Gay Carr
Theatrical Productions. A
champagne buffet in the Green-
wich Village Mercer O’Casey
Theatre followed the per-
formance, affording celebrities
an opportunity to hob-nob ‘with
the young essayists.
The Shavertown:
received, in addition to a certifi-
cate lauding her accomplish-
ment, a check for $100.
Does she have any special
plans for the check!
“My teacher says I should put
it in the bank for the day when
I'll be a ‘starving writer,”
replies Karen, adding with
characteristic frankness, “but I
hope I won’t have to worry
about that.”

Tony Award and the New York
Drama Critics Circle Award as
the best musical of the season.
“1776” opened in New York
March, 1969, to one of the most
enthusiastic hats-in-the-air crit-
ical receptions in years. Clive
Barnes of the New York Times
said, “I recommend ‘1776’ with-
out reservation. It is a musical
with style, humanity, wit and
passion . . . It might even run
until 1976.”
John Chapman, writing in the
N.Y. Daily News, said, ‘1776’ is
an artistic creation such as we
do not often find in our theatre.
It is a magnificently staged and
stunningly original musical. It
is warm, it is funny, it is
moving. See ‘1776’ right away ;”’
and Richard Coe of the Wash-
ington Post called it ‘something
worth cheering, = original,
amusing, provocative and in-
spiring.”’
“1776 is still drawing capacity
crowds in its second year on
Broadway.
The story of the shaping and
signing of the Declaration of
Independence is presented -
through song, dialogue and even
dancing. Humor and dramatic
passion mingle as the great
minds of the American colonies
forge a new nation.
Starring in the large touring
company are Don Perkins, as
John Adams; Paul Tripp, as
Benjamin Franklin; Patrick
Hines, as John Dickinson of
Pennsylvania; Gary Beach, as
Rutledge of South Carolina,
Tom Gorman, as Stephen
Hopkins of Rhode Island and
William Jennings, as Thomas
Jefferson. to be on the Ir
em Temple stage May 9.
In a scene from “1776” Pat Gorman as Martha, wife of Thomas
Jefferson, poses during a shot from the award winning musical
