CLASSIC GREEK MASTERPIECE AT ACADEMY OF THE HOLY NAMES, APRIL 14
CARROLL GREENMAN NAMED EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF SIGHT CONSERVATION SO
At 8 o'clock on Friday, April 14, in the auditorium of the Academy of the Holy Names on New Scotland Road, Players Incorporated, the longest running
"f national repertory company in ~ the United States, will bring
The Oresteia of Aeschylus to the local scene.
This acting version of the masterpiece of Greek tragedy was presented on network television in 1959 by Omnibus. The three plays of the Oresteian Trilogy have been adapted into one brilliant theatre evening by Leo Brady. Audiences can be assured of an atmospheric, excitingly new production by Players, Inc.
Dr. William M. McCarty, president of the Sight Conserva-
The Oresteia, the only trilogy which has survived from the Greek drama of the 5th century before Christ, is the story of the murder of Agamemnon by Clytemnestra, his wife, and the eventual revenge of this atrocity by their son Orestes. Orestes is commanded to -revenge by his sense of duty and by the gods but his personal anguish at the prospect of killing his mother is nearly overwhelming. He does pay the debt owed to justice and does kill his mother and her lover and acco~plice Aegisthus,

America has 664,000,000 acres of forestland.,. and only 17,000 qualified foresters to estimate tree growth, ·\ supervise cutting and reforestation, diagnose and treat tree diseases and prevent insect and animal damage to our nation's forests.
Most of all, the forester must know how to prevent forest fires- and how to fight them if they start. America needs healthy lumber for new home construction, furniture, paper, chemical and defense products.
Forty colleges of forestry graduated 1,470 men lost year ... not nearly enough to fill existing jobs. Industrial foresters can earn as high as $20,000 a year. Write New York Life Insurance Company, Dept. CF, 51 Madison Avenue, N.Y.C. for the free booklet, "Should You Be A Forester?"

That's what we're spending in 1961 to bring better telephone service to a growing New York State
If, like our friend, the sidewalk superintendent, you've ever stopped and looked at a new building going up, you've probably felt a little thrill of excitement at seeing so much purposeful activity.
We ·hope you'll feel the same way when you look at what we're doing in 1961 to expand and improve New York State's telephone service.
Here are some typical examples of what the $300,000,000 will go for: . . . to install some 280,000 new telephones and the wires and switching equipment needed to back them up ... to equip half a million more New York State phones for Direct Distance Dialing. This will enable customers to dial nationwide from almost 9 out of 10 of the phones we serve
... to maintain, modernize and improve existing communications networks
. . . to provide improved room-to-room communications for your home and a mechanism that can dial calls for you automatically. Also equipment that will enable the new electronic business machines to "talk" to each other over telephone lines.
In Syracuse, Buffalo and the Capital District, we have plans to e)\tend the areas where you can make toll-free calls.
We are going to replace manual with dial service in Oneida, Catskill, Ogdensburg, Saranac Lake, Malone, Hornell, Saratoga and 42 other locations.
Communications for the state government in Albany are being streamlined. Centralized switching equipment will be installed to provide more flexible service, speedier service changes and big savings in equipment space. '
>'' '' ., •• ' ··~'·'"'''"''~~··
The $300,000,000 we will spend this year is more by substantial margins than the total investment of all but a very few of the largest businesses in New York State.
It is an important contribution to the State's economy, for these dollars not only will provide work for telephone men and women, but will also mean purchases and contracts with other businesses throughout the State, and jobs and wages for their employees .
This big investment shows how important it is that an organization have the financial strength to plan and build for the future-the profit incentive to venture into new fields.
For the telephone user, these things are the best assurance of an ever-improving communications service at reasonable cost.

Speaking of visits and friends, we had a very brief holiday this past week that took us into Connecticut. It was my pleasure to attend the annual guest day of the Weston Garden Club which met for luncheon at the former home of Franklin P. Adams of wonderful radio and T.V. show "Information Please" , .. Needless to say there were almost more people than forks . , . our dear sister headed up the informal fashion show with models from the membership. After which Mrs. George Stuart of Nor walk was the featured speaker. Her husband is a florist, so by education Mrs. Stuart is a graduate dietician from Cornell University, she is a florist by marriage. Thus while the fashion progressed, our guest and her assistant Gabriel, worked out corsages for each of the six models. Each was a work of art and throughout the next hour or so Mrs. Stuart explained each corsage and the steps in learning this fascinating work. We examined cabbage- rose making, using six roses to fashion one huge blossom. Then another was the use of glads designed in one "large flower. Stephanotis became individually wired and shaped in another corsage, violets clustered together and one small sweetheart rose centered the nosegay. Gardenias became an arrange-

ment for milady's handbag and also were grouped with stephanotis again for a shoulder corsage. Cimbidium orchids were outstandingly designed into a long corsage, while a bird-ofparadise flower was wired and divided to provide one of the most unusual corsages made. Simple sweetheart roses were wired and tied with velvet ribbons for the teen-age model present in a white peau de soie ball gown. So on and on, the guests were delighted with the over-all end results. Perhaps
this could be introduced to some of our groups in the community. By the way, 'twas most delightful and a most educational afternoon, with everyone taking something new home for this coming season of Spring.

Spring has sprung . . . There are no activities this
week because of Good Friday and Easter, so we wish you a very safe and sane Easter weekend .
Coming up in two weeks is the Charlatans' production of "Out of the Frying Pan." To be presented on April 14 and 15, this hilarious comedy about six aspiring young actors is sure to delight everyone.
And on April 22 the Junior ClOss presents its annual Junior Prom, the theme of which this year is" ................ " (top secret). The prom is $3 per couple and is the biggest social event of the year. All are welcome to attend, and we will say that this year's decorations will be the most beautiful ever.
On March 10-11 the Debate Club of BCHS competed in the Aquinas Tournament in Rochester. The experienced team of George Cole, Richard Braun, Bill Newell, and Tom Norton won 4 debates and lost 4. This is an excellent record since most other competing schools emphasize debate in their curricula.
On March 25 the Club sent two semi-experienced and two novice teams to the State semifinals- held at State Teachers College at Albany. The Club wishes to thank Mr. DeCecco for his time and work, which have helped make the club a success. The _Student Association, which has enabled the Debate Club to receive more experience, also deserves much credit.
Question! Does anyone possess the slightest clue which he would be willing to present to
