Battalion Members Attend Parade Two Trenton men were privileged to attend the annual Tuscon, Ariz., parade as representatives of the state-wid- e Mormon Battalion group. Leland T. Cottle and Roland H. Mortensen were one of about 12 Cache Valley men who joined the some 300 other members in the 5 mile parade. The Tuscon parade is unique in that it is the largest non- - mechanized parade in the world. Over 1,000 beautiful horses provided the power for many of the 332 entries. The Mormon Battalion group was proud to display their banner to the 200,000 spec- tators because of the recognition they hold as being the first group to stake the American flag in Arizona territory. - Independence Authors Come Alive . By RUTH DANIELSON Declaration of Independence was and is a landmark in human indepen-danc- e and progress. But the men who hammered it out in a hot, stuffy room between My 8 and July 4, 1776 were as we people not demi-god- s sometimes think. They were people torn between material interest and self interest, people plagued with personality looks and flies. Tliie It all comes to life in the musical production '1776" in the Sky View auditorium. As part of this bicentennial year, it deserves to be a part of the entertainment of anyone who is aware of the nations birthday. In Tuesday's and Wednesday's productions, a number of things stood out as being especially worthy of mention. From the standpoint of characterization, every member of the cast deserves credit, but Benjamin Franklin has. to rate high on our list. For one thing, two very young men (most of the musical in double cast) do an excellent piece of work the elder statesman. Danny Jonas will again appear Friday night and Chad Olsen on the Saturday performance. John Adams, dedicated beyond belief, and irritating beyond endurance, is made entirely believable by both Eugene Cottle and Alan Neiderhauser. Although Eugene is probably a little more relaxed in his presentation, Alan's interpretation is significant when we consider he is a junior and younger than most students in the play. Speaking of young actors, Sam Pendleton, a sophomore, is double cast in a very good characterization of John Dickenson the absenter in the plot, the one who never gives in. The other student in this role is Ray Ormond. If we were to choose one character for consistancy of character and excellence of performance, Ray Ormond as John Dickenson would probably be our choice. Thomas Jefferson, played Jim Chambers and David Rigby comes across as the young, handsome, intellect of the famous document. In this year of the Women's Liberation, it may seem stronger that each cast feature only two women Abigail Adams and Martha Jefferson. But listen carefully, Abigail Adams may well have been the original proponent of women's rights. When it comes to pins or salt peter, it is pins. Lcxy Larsen and Mary Baugh share the role of the famous wife.o Two other very pretty young ladies, with lovely voices are naturals, holh of them, for the role of Martha Jefferson. Pam Ballam and JaNae Roundy add much to the pleasure of the production. So well and' so smoothly does the action proceed that we may fail to realize the many things that add to the authentic atmosphere of thv evening. Some things , however, are apparent, the excellence of the orchestra, the scenery, a replica of the Broadway setting, the colorful and historically accurate, the choreothe graphy the make-u- p sound and lighting. The whole production speaks well of the work of Mr. Stratford Loosle, his assistants, the cast and the school. If you have not seen the play, there is still time.
