Music Department's "Hiawatha" Well Liked VISTA (Special) "Listen to this legend, this tale of Hiawatha." So came the clear, resonant tones of Narrator Eleanor Skinner to open the musical program of the Palomar College music department in the Vista high school April 22. Mrs. Skinner set the mood for the singing group seated on the stage. There were 21 vocalists in all, with the girls in formal gowns of blues, pinks, greens and shimmering whites. They made a sharp contrast with the somber suits of the male voices of the chorus. Mrs. Skinner read from one part of the legendary Longfellow poem that was put to music by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, and the chorus gave parts of "The Wedding Feast" which signaled the return of Hiawatha with his bride, Minnehaha from the land of the Dakotas.
The well-rounded tenor voice of Travis Bagwell gave the sparce audience an added thrill with his rendition of "Onaway, Awake, Beloved" as the solo number of the evening. The gifted pianist, Shirley Olson, accompanied the singers. William Vogel, head of the music department, directed and trained the chorus in this program, which is the last to be given by the department this school year. The eager tones of the music as it told the story of the great feast and of comradeship and love was a compliment to the group's efforts. Wescott, played by J. D. Williams, is also an artist. He designed on canvas in water colors the set. Thanks.
To the lilting strains of Lorraine Lorraine and a couple of other Rex Phalen compositions, the happy throng of fun lovers dances the evening away. The night, April 23, it was later discovered was rather unfortunately chosen because of the Kiwanis Karnival and so forth, but nevertheless those that came had a wonderful time. The tunes Lorraine Lorraine and Boom-pa-dol were recorded and given away as a door prize. The lucky recipients were none other than the charming couple Anita Ronay and Stan Maag. Celebrating their birthdays on this joyous evening were pretty Marilyn Smith, Ray Lee Ferris, and Dean Blair. There weren't a great many people there, although they seemed quite efficient in removing the balloons that were so cleverly used in decorating the hall. It was discovered by your nosey news hound that Miss Jonesy assisted by Louis S. worked feverishly to accomplish the decorating task, as they only had the afternoon to do so. (Jonesy had a birthday dinner to prepare for her father.) All in all the party was quite a success and the main comment of the evening was, and I quote "My what lovely decorations." The usual stags were almost absent that evening, for some unknown reason, but I, on the part of the staff who disorganized this affair, should like to express our appreciation to Mike ~- who was in charge of the refreshments.
RESIGNED PREXY GETS BETTER JOB Dr. Dan C. McNaughton, who only submitted his resignation as president of Palomar College to the Governing Board on April 13, was notified April 26 of his election to the post of director of Santa Ana JC of Santa Ana, California. McNaughton's resignation, effective June 30, was accepted by the board and a three-month vacation with lay was granted. The educator wil take up his duties at Santa Ana August I. Dr. McNaughton, who has been chief administrator at Palomar for the first three years of its stormy life, will hold a comparable position in the orange belt school plus a position as assistant superintendent of city schools. Santa Ana JC is a part of the city school system of Santa Ana and is one of the oldest 2-year colleges in the State. The enrollment of the school is over I000 students. Dr. McNaughton's election was for a 4-year term with a salary described only as "a considerable improvement." The temporary director of Santa Ana JC, H. 0. Russell, will return to his post as head of the physics department. Said Dr. McNaughton of the appointment, "While I regret having to leave my friends in the Palomar District, this new position presents a great challenge to me as teacher." Marjorie Ting has a little black dog she brings to rehearsal. Both are excellent in their respective parts but personally "we" like Tingles! By the by-which one of those dresses is your "business" suit? The convicts have been type cast because of their crew cuts. "Ruff".
