Sincerely, The Payson Chamber Payson High School Presents Shakespeares Macbeth Payton High School has assembled the ambitious Macbeth with his witch companions to letell Shakespeare's classic tragedy of greed and murder most foul Tho play features 35 high school actors begins on Friday, April 25 at 730 p m. in the Payson High School Little Theater and continues Saturday the 26"', w ith a final performance on Monday, April 28th. With swords clanging, medieval costumes and fake blood, students hope to recreate the atmosphere of treachery found in ancient Scotland. Macbeth is rewarded for valor in war with a new title, which was predicted by witches he met while with Banquo. They also tell Macbeth he will be king, and that Banquo will have sons who will be kings. As the current king Duncan visits Macbeth's castle. Lady Macbeth prods Macbeth to murder the king and take the crown. Later, Macbeth sees Banquo as a threat and has him killed. When the ghost of Banquo visits Macbeth's coronation banquet, the rule of Macbeth begins to dissolve. Macbeth also has the entire household of Macduff killed, since Macduff has fled to tight with Malcolm against Macbeth. When the weird sisters tell Macbeth that he need not fear "any man of woman bom, and that he will reign until the woods move to his castle, he feels invulnerable. But when Malcolm and his men cut branches to hide the size of their forces and march tow ard battle, the reign of Macbeth will soon end. Director Dane Allred has enjoyed working with the Shakespeare text and these students They know the name Macbeth, but have just learned the story. Its exciting to see them understand the language and put the story on our stage," he said. It's been a great opportunity to integrate some Shakespeare into their brains, and the guys like the swordpiav The ladies also like playing witches, so even though the Mory is a tragedy, we are ha mg run creating the characters " Erik Folk is Macbeth, wnh Jeiemiah Hawks as Macduff.

Each cross-stitch- ed photo-adorne- quilt expresses a uniqueness of taste and style. Some - remnants of the past - spark curiosity as to the stories they could tell from a long life and being handed down from one generation to the next. Local senior citizen John Olson is among enthusiasts to share his handiwork wuth three of his quilts at the show. John was born and raked in Payson, and a graduate of BYU. As a member of the National Guard he was called up to sere in the South Sea Islands as an Army meteorologist during World War II. After the war he moed with his family to Mink Creek, Idaho fora teaching job; he iaier taught at Idaho's Preston High School betoie moving back to Payton to live in retirement On the side, thioughout the years, John wotked as a caipenter; lenovuting homes. But Pillowing a heait attack he found he would have to bid any strenuous activity goodbye aPer his doctor infoimed him that he ought not do any lifting, accorumg to his brother Garth Olson. It about drov e him nuts. Garth said. So he took up quilting. At first his wife Cleo would assist by doing the piecing and making covers for the quilts "She got to where she couldn't do it so he does the whole thing," now, Garth explained. John averages about one quilt a week, according to Garth, selling many of them at cost. His work was featured in a national quilting magazine, he added. At almost 86 years of age, John may well be one of the oldest in the quilt-make- rs valley. He specializes in five traditional patterns - Rail Fence, Double Irish Chain, Fan, Nine Patch, and Log Cabin. As a signature feature, he sews a dime into the comer of each quilt. This stems a tradition, so a young couple receiving a quilt can never say they dont have a dime to their name. ry Macbeth. Brian Johnson as Banquo, and Justin Colledge as Banquo's son Fleance.
