November 25, 1959 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Five Rose Rohter Finds Four Jobs Exciting On Saturday mornings Rose Rohter '59, can be found at Studio 25 at the Patricia Vance School. Her students are usually pretending to be some fan ciful character from storybook land or the world of animals. Rose also directs an adult group at the Vance Studio, teaches the fifth grade at St. Hyacinth's elementary school, and manages to squeeze in pri vate lessons for eager drama students at the Hofmann School of Dance and Drama. Perhaps such a schedule is the answer for those college students who feel that after graduation only routine lies ahead. Four jobs should offer challenge enough for those who fear boredom. I've got to keep active, says Rose. When an opportunity presents itself which enables me to take part in the work I love most, it gets my atten tion. THE ACCOUNTS Rose gave of her work in summer stock at the Black Hills Playhouse in South Dakota showed that she was the same spirited and enthusiastic Rose that many knew last year. As a member of the Black Hills Players, she was cast as a fifty-year- old virago in the play Jenny Kissed Me, a flirtatious widow in Silver Whistle, and a twenty-year old South ern school teacher in Inherit the Wind. Rose also did the choreography and danced in the musical Won derful Town, and handled the pub licity and promotion for the Diary of Anne Frank. I really enjoy the promotional side of theater, remarked Rose. It brings you into contact with media people and gives you experience in buying time on radio and TV stations. ROSE EVALUATED her three months in summer stock with It was well worth all the waiting and effort. A professional critic from the Rapid City News reviewed each play on opening night and his criticisms were helpful for the following perform ances. Perhaps her estimation of the sum mer was influenced by the fact that it was while with the Black Hills Play ers that she met her fiance, Donald Charles Holloway, a student at the University of Los Angeles and a mem ber of the Globe Theater Group where his interests center around stage de signing. They plan a June wedding. It was during the holiday sea son last year that Rose auditioned for summer stock with her read ing of Edna St. Vincent Malay's poem Renaissance. She received several offers, and ac cepted the Black Hills Players because they offered her a scholarship and seven hours of college credit. I LEFT SCHOOL in '56 and soon realized that if I got too engrossed in theater work, I would never return to complete my education and would always regret it. Nowadays most people in the theater have a BA and competition is tough enough without going in with a definite limitation. Rose has great faith in creative dramatics. She knows children enjoy improvisation and panto mime and so she in her work with them deals extensively with fairy tales and literature that will build their imagination and powers of concentration. She always tries to instill a bit of Psychology Club Elects Partial Officers' Slate Newly elected officers of Theta Psi Alpha, the recently-formed psychology club are: Carmelina Napolitano; presi dent, and Maureen McConville, vice- president.

The tentative speaker is Father Pur- cell of Loyola. by Roberta Maday humility into the children so they won't become big headed. Constructive criticism will prevent the child from becoming so wrapped up in himself that someday he will be termed arty. This word has been applied to theater people only because some people in the promotional busi ness thought that it was good publi city and so all in the theater have been labeled. ROSE, who seems to leave a part of herself with everyone she meets, wants to teach children's dramatics in California after her marriage. I get along so well with those little peo ple, remarked Rose.
