Costumes, SUZANNE DAVIS Recognized as one of the leading experts in her field, Suzanne has won particular acclaim for the brilliant authentic costuming of the Cherokee Drama. Her training in the theatre first began in the famous Toy Theatre in Portland, and continued at St. Helen's Episcopal Hall and Portland High School, later at Reed College. She was for 15 years a member of the Civic Theatre of Portland, was the youngest member ever elected to its board of trustees, and was finally production chairman in charge of technical work as well as director of its Blue Room Players. Later she taught dramatics at the Y.M.C.A.'s well-known Multonomah College and was director of the Y's drama program. She came to the University of North Carolina in 1945 where for eight years she has had an active part in scores of productions by the Carolina Playmakers, not only as technician and costumer but also as actress and director. She directed two productions for the Durham Little Theatre and is one of the few directors ever invited to do a second show. The splendid results of her skill and hard work are seen every night on the stage of Mountainside Theatre, where the sheer perfection of her costuming gives the drama its color and brilliance. Mrs. Davis has been with Unto These Hills since its opening in 1950. She also designed the authentic costumes worn in Oconaluftee Indian Village, a reproduction of a Cherokee community of 200 years ago. Stage Manager, JOE HIPPS A native of Waynesville, North Carolina, Hipps is no newcomer to the Unto These Hills operations although this marks his first season as stage manager. This is his third year at Mountainside Theatre. He started out as head usher in 1954. The following year he became theatre manager. Last summer he took a leave of absence to direct city recreational activities where he is football coach and teacher in the E. K. Powe Junior High School. His work as theatre manager had attracted director Harry Davis who persuaded Hipps to return this season as stage manager. A graduate of Western Carolina College, he was captain of the 1955 football team and a member of the All-North State conference team. Organist and Musical Director, BRUCE R. EICHER This is Eicher's first season with Unto These Hills. He currently is on leave of absence from Memorial Church of the Good Shepherd in Germantown, Pennsylvania, where he will return this fall to resume duties as organist and choirmaster and continue his studies at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. A native of Mt. Vernon, Iowa, Eicher attended high school there where for two years he conducted a daily radio program of organ music. On graduating he received a scholarship in organ at Cornell College. Then he was given a full scholarship at the Curtis Institute. He served as drum major in the U. S. Army from 1954 until 1956. While stationed in Puerto Rico he was director of music and chaplain's assistant at two Army posts. His wife Doris is assistant organist for Unto These Hills. Five

This 42-page scrapbook was put together by Levern Hamlin, a Roanoke, Virginia native who moved to Cullowhee, North Carolina in 1957 to attend Western Carolina College. Levern Hamlin was not only the first African American to attend Western Carolina College but the first African American admitted to a North Carolina state college. As a speech therapist practicing in Charlotte, North Carolina, Hamlin decided to further her training in special education through the college’s graduate division. The scrapbook begins with Hamlin’s account of her arrival at WCC on June 11, 1957 and includes numerous clippings describing the significance of her enrollment. The scrapbook contains entries from her summer semester at WCC extending to July 20th, 1957 when she arrived back at her home in Virginia. Hamlin had previously attained a Bachelor of Science degree in education from Virginia’s Hampton Institute in 1956. Also included are pamphlets and clippings at the end of the scrapbook.
