Wins Contest Prize
Phyllis Chasanow, News Review staffer and a first-year journalism student in her junior year at High Point High School, placed third in the national Producers' Showcase "Sleeping Beauty" contest sponsored by Scholastic Roto.
Phyllis, who is on the staff of The Beacon, High Point's newspaper, wrote a fifty-word review on the Sadler's Wells Ballet's production of "Sleeping Beauty." Her review was as follows:
"Producer's Showcase took an old tale, added the Sadler's Wells Ballet's perfectional grace, mixed in magnificent costumes, stirred with dramatic staging, sprinkled liberally with fantasy and a pinch of memories, sifted in a talented cast, garnished with mood-fitting music, and served to America an elegant version of Sleeping Beauty."
Phyllis won an RCA Victor All-Transistor portable radio as her prize. Mrs. Madalyn Angel, the paper's sponsor, won a duplicate prize.
