However dont let first impresOn sions fool you! Because sometimes she assumes the appearance of a wrinkled old witch, an inscrutable oriental, or a back woods . . . with all the attendant facial features and hill-bill- clothing. And, y her whole personality changes, according to the character she chooses to portray. No, it is not a magic potion that brings about the transformation. But it is a kind of sorcery that holds her audiences spellbound. For you see, Dorothy Pollock is a master story teller who has shared her talents with hundreds of people over the years, and today she is known all over Salt Lake valley. She started her career as a spinner of tales when she was still a child. Her mother came from the Bailey family in Cache County who had a typical family band, and since she had a talent for recitation she often appeared with her story poems along with the musical group. So it was only natural that she should pass the gift on to Dorothy who proved to be a very receptive student. And soon audiences in nor thern Utah and Idaho became accustomed to seeing little Dorothy and her sister Evelyn Harris, who now teaches voice at Weber State College, reciting poems and singing songs. Whenever there was a family reunion or a program at school Dorothy was part of the act. As she grew older her repertoire expanded and she found herself able to attract not only adult audiences but children as w'ell. Soon she was involved in the fantasy world a great deal of the time. She started teaching in Los Angeles and traveled with the Los Angeles library for a couple of summers. In addition she center and worked in a was part of the Salt Lake County Library Bookmobile crew for three or four years. went from The Bookmobile Magna to the Top of the World near Alta, and stopped at a lot of other libraries in between. And wherever the bus stopped, Dorothy spun her magical tales about witches, goblins, princesses and fairies. She also worked the Salt Lake County Parks for County Recreation and for the YWCA and summer day camp. In between times she visited various elementary schools where she regaled them with stories like Cats For Kansas and the fractured fables pre-scho- day-car- e pre-scho- ol of Dr. Suess. She also taught a class in story telling to girls who were going into teaching at the University of Utah. According to Dorothy, every story teller has their own individual style. She describes herself as being an active story teller; because she moves about a lot and uses black light and a lot of visual aids such as puppets and flannel board figures. She usually dresses in costume for tales like the McBroom Stories . . . that come from the mid-wey then she becomes a with a nasal twang and a whole different vernacular. And when she does the story of the Five Chinese Brothers, a change of costume and a little makeup turn her into a sly oriental of the old school. But the stories that the children like best are the ones she tells at this time of year when she becomes a wrinkled old green-face- d witch st hill-bill- Psi Epsilon Sorority Holds October Social Psi Epsilon sorority will hold their October social, tells Marge Atkinson, publicity chairman, at the home of Norma Slater, 227 E. Burton Avenue on Oct. 29th. Social hour will begin at 7 p.m., followed by a dinner at 7:30 p.m. Those attending are being asked to bring a white elephant, and dress as they were when receiving the invitation. There will be l i who tells spooky Halloween stories like Theres A Nightmare In My Closet, Teeny Tiny Lady, and Strange Company. But, though the kids like the tales of the macabre, Dorothy herself leans heavily toward stories like Pierre, by Maurice Sandak, about the little boy who always said I dont care, and Cats For a moldy-oldKansas, by y t t t, ih:3 teen-age- d yeah, but.

At Christmas time its How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and in between she relates Sebastian John Alexander Brown, because kids like stories about dragons. She claims that you have to search around to find just the right kind of story that appeals to kids, and when she finds herself faced with a audience she switches to stories that have a little more plot and detail. An adult audience calls for an entirely different approach, where she stands quietly, without too many exaggerated gestures, using a more natural approach to spin her tales of romance and adventure. Someday I would like to have a story tellers conference similar to a dance conference, Dorothy says, because people need to know that it is truly an art form doctors however, Seriously, across the country are finding, of people who yes, that over 99 of them get TSS are women, 95 become stricken with the disease during menstruation, with the small additional percentage occurring during the postpartum period, or for us laymen, after childbirth. And the operation went fine. Discomfort? Of course. Wishing the whole thing was over with and he was home again? Yes, yes, yes. But, then just when life was beginning to be worth living again, danged if he didn't get restless and begin running a temperature. Pretty soon he had a rash all over his body, his blood pressure went up, his pulse accelerated, and then came I Dorothy Pollock Becomes Roles She Plays Yes, I imagine he had a lot of questions to ask . . . maybe the doctors had a lot of questions to ask him . . . and once he was over the beastly sickness I imagine he'd like to forget the whole fool thing. He went into the hospital for a very routine operation. Apprehensive? Yes, who isn't when they enter those doors and know they're going to be there for more than a visit? But other than that he was happy, healthy, free of any allergies or chronic diseases. t i Dorothy os "Dorothy Pollock" I Anyway, just so the rest you males can have something to worry about and keep you awake at night, here is the "MO" of how it happened to this i I can't help but wonder what his reaction was when the doctor had to tell him what was the matter. Did he ask, "Dang it, did you use tampons to pack my operation?" "Haven't you got any plain ole cotton around here?" "What in the devil did you do to me?"
