Dr. Faustas to
Show Nov. 5-7
This Thursday marks the opening night of CBC's first major
dramatic presentation this year.
"The Tragical History of Dr.
Faustas" by Christopher Marlowe and under the direction of
Bob Hughes will run Thursday
through Saturday nights, Nov.
5-7.
The "Faustas" cast of 25 has
been rehearsing since early October to perform this combination
morality play and tragedy written
about 1590. The timeless plot of
Good vs. Evil as they strive for
conquest and rule over life as
well as death fits in as well
in our twentieth century as it did
four centuries ago when first
written.
Action in the play centers
around the title character Dr.
John Faustas, played by Noel
Walker, but nevertheless manages to make several relevant
comments about controversial
aspects of life on earth - - and
afterwards.
Already at a high point of intensity when it begins, the play
builds to a terrifying and shaking
climax. Tension in "Faustas" is
broken only by comic relief
scenes to let the audience relax
and digest the meaning of the
scenes. These scenes are furnished by Sam Vickery and
Michael Carver who portray the
medieval '"clowns" always present in plays of this period.
Marlowe's "Faustas" was
written not so much to entertain,
although it is an absorbing drama,
as to say something. Director Bob
Hughes brings out the message of
the play which, according to him,
is more powerful and direct than
any fire and brimstone sermon
could ever be.
Hughes has faced all the ordinary problems a director must
deal with, only multiplied because
of the unusually large size of the
cast. In spite of a large cast,
little time for rehearsal, and lack
of facilities for drama, he has
done a remarkable job with a
difficult play.
been writing the book since 1968.
The play has been in the making
since September 1970. It has a
multimedia approach. Three projectors, live and taped music
will be used along with actors
and actresses. Pictures will be
continuously shown on three different screens. James Walker,
technical director, has been gathering and taking slides that go
back as far as the early days
of the school to present day.
There will be recognition of outstanding personalities both part
and present in these slides. The
narrator will be Ed Collier a
graduate of CBC.
This entire program will lead
up to and introduce Dr. James
Staples to the California State
Convention for the first time.
Staples will then address the
convention at that time. The
President of the Southern Baptist Convention, Dr. Carl Bates,
will address those in attendance
at 11:00 a.m.
There will be a change in the
normal class schedule on that
day. The first two classes will
meet for 50 minute periods, the
last period ending at 9:50 a.m.
All students are urged to attend
although it is not a required
chapel attendance.

By BUNNY BURT
"Good fences make good neighbors," says Robert Frost in one
of his most familiar poetry works.
In some instances, whereprivate
interests are involved, this is
a good policy. But, in the case
of California Baptist College's
immediate personal financial
need, "good fences" can sometimes break channels of communication and answer to this
and other urgent problems.
It is clearly visible that there
is a brick concrete wall which
separates the CBC campus from
what is called Rose Garden Village; more commonly known for
its retirement community and
Wedding Chapel. In my two years
at CBC, I have always wondered
what is on the other side of that
wall, one day, I ventured to hop
over the wall, only to find a man
who has a vision and a heart and
alert mind completely open to the
problems and dreams of the
young.
The man of imagaination, is
Dr. Bert Turner, whose dream
can be summed up in the motto
of the Foundation which is: "Seniors helping juniors." Dr. Turner
holds an utmost concern that
"young people come to view life
from the perspective of God's
will-for career, marriage, service." He is convinced that a
Christian education in a college
is important, but more important,
is the Christ centered life.
Dr. Turner discovered the importance of Christian colleges
during his student years at On
tario Baptist College. "In the
depression years," he said, "it
wasn't so easy to get the kind
of educnt*T *> o ^n want sndwant
our young rt-ople to have."
Dr. Turner has two daughters
who have graduated from West-
mont College in Santa Barbara,
Calif.
Now that his daughters are
married, Dr. Turner now has
founded the Rose Garden Village Foundation, to help other
young people, Through this organization to Senior Citizens of
the United States and Canada,
he shares his vision. He encourages Christian seniors to
help juniors-to "extend their
Godly influence into the lives
of this and future generations."
The purpose of the Foundation is
to "encourage older Christian
people to aid in a practical,
financial way, smaller Christian
colleges which are reputable and
of  high educational standards."
Dr. Turner is aware of CBC's
financial problem and wishes that
the Foundation be able to help
remedy this need. One of his
suggestions consists of a "Student Day," on a Sunday where
the people of Rose Garden Village, and other concerned people
can give a 'love offering," in
behalf of CBC. This is one solution to CBC's most critical problem, and it has taken only a "hop
over the neighborly wall" to open
closed bonds of communication
between seniors and juniors.
Baritone, Roger Wiles, from
La Mesa, California, also come
from a singing family. He started
singing in concerts with his parents at age six. He attended
Grossmont Junior College and
appeared in major musical productions in San Diego including
Oklahoma!, Cyrano DeBergerac,
and the Summer Sounds of Music.
He was the Minister of Music
and Youth Director at the La
Mesa Gospel Tabernacle and sang
with his father's quartet, the
Melodyaires. Before joining the
Imperials, he toured the U.S.A.
as lead singer with the renowned
Weatherford Suartet.
Bass, Armond Morales, also a
Californian  (Huntington  Park),
has been with the group from the
start. He attended Crompton Junior College and was much in demand for record session work
in Los Angeles with conductor
Ralph Carmichael. He was with
the Armed Forces Radio Network as an announcer in korea
and has appeared as soloist with
the  Los  Angeles Symphony.
