Bald Soprano'
set for Monday
There has been a good bit
written and said about the
Sulphur Springs High School
production, “The Bald
Soprano” a comedy one-act
play.
The play has won several
honors for the sttident ac-
tors. The students won with
the play at district and
regional competition
recently and will be ad-
vancing to the state
University Interscholastic
league drama contest next
month.
Although many residents
may be aware of the play,
very few have had the op-
portunity to see the
production except judges
and the high school student
body.
“So that the town can see
what kind of work the
students %are capable of
doing,” Mrs. Karen Mclntire
the director said, “we are
going to give a special
general public performance
of the play Monday at 8 p.m.
in the Civic Center
auditorium.”
There is more than one
reason for presenting the
play though, according to
Mrs..McIntire.
“We plan to charge $1 per
person to see the show,”
Mrs. Mclntire said. “Half of
that admission price will go
to the Lisa Smith fund, and
.the other half to the speech
and drama club so we can
continue to have a forward
moving drama program.”
Another reason for the
performance is to give the
actqrs and actresses a
chance to play before an
audience.
“We’ve done this play
several times now, but only a
couple of times in front of a
good^size audience. It is an
audience that brings- Dili the'
best in an actor, and I vyanf
the kids to do their best and,
keep their confidence up so
we can have a good shot at
winning the state drama
contest is Austin,” she said.
The $1 tickets will be sold
at the door only.
Youths arrested
following chase
Two 16-year-old youths from
Como found out Friday night
that it doesn't pay to run from
the police.
About 1 a.m., Sulphur
Springs Patrolman Mike
Reeves said, he was on patrol
when a late-model pickup went
by at a high rate of speed
headed west on College Street.
He said that the driver was also
driving on both sides of the
street.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Two
out of three Texas recipients of
Aid to Families with Dependent
Children grants are on the
welfare rolls for the first time,
according to a staff report of the
Texas Department of Human
Resources.
The report, which was
presented to the department’s
governing board last week, said
the average size of Texas AFDC
families is 3.2 persons. Also, 13
percent of the family heads in
AFDC families are employed
and 16 percent are “actively
seeking” work.
Nine of 10 AFDC recipients
qualify due,to the "continued
absence” of one parent, usually
the father, the report showed.
Reeves said he got behind the
pickup and after he turned on
his siren and red lights, the
truck fled at speeds in excess of
80 mph through a residential
