Behing-the-Scenes Personnel Who Never Get Into Stage Spotlight Vitally Important to Music Camp. 1952
Scores of behind-the-scenes personnel who never get into the spotlight of the concert stage are vitally important to the smooth operation of the Egyptian Music Camp at Du Quoin State Fairgrounds.
The public sees only the finished production. It is the cooperation of the unseen and unsung that insures the successful program.
Foremost among those in the background is the camp director, A. T. Atwood, from whose "round the calendar" planning and constant supervision comes the day-by-day success of the camp, one of the largest of its kind in the nation.
The camp's "early bird" is Albert Blazer of Decatur, who is a four-year veteran. Up even before the "crack of dawn", Blazer is hustling about with his broom and shovel before anyone else is stirring. He reports a week before the camp opens to get the site in shape. Another who works in advance of the camp opening is Isaac Woodside, who handles transportation of equipment.
Ed Lee, designated as registrar, has multifarious duties. He registers each student and is the camp banker (students may deposit their spending money and get it back as they need it.) He is pay-master, ticket manager and "troublshooter". Ed never has a dull moment.
WORKS ON VACATION
A REGISTERED NURSE, Miss Mildred Kennedy, is dean of girls. She takes her "vacation" from Marshall Browning hospital to devote the month of June to the camp here and another in Ponca City, Okla. Besides supervising the girl's dormitory, she looks after the young ladies' minor aches and pains-both physical and mental-and is constantly alert for any unusual ailments that might arise.
Assisting Miss Kennedy with the girls is Miss Catherine Howells, first-grade teacher at John B. Ward school. She is assistant dean of girls.
Student counsellors for the girls are Jean Kelly, Hillsboro; Margaret Lapierre, Jackson, Mo.; Nancy McCain, Madison; and Barbara Munson, Decatur. Miss Kelly is also director of girls' recreation, Miss McCain is librarian and Miss Munson social and dancing director.
Earl Bozarth of West Frankfort is dean of boys and a veteran at the job. He is assisted by Jim Ballowe of Herrin and three student counsellors, Kent Shepard of Robinson, John Cobb of LaSalle and Leonard Craghead of Ponca City, Okla.
The camp's outer office and store is a busy place. There, all types of articles-from soaps to musical instruments-are for sale. In charge is Mrs. Cleota Dearing of Du Quoin, Atwood's regular secretary; Richard Fred, Du Quion store manager; and Mary Wittenborn, Steeleville.
Eating is an important pastime for man-and music campers are no exception. The kitchen crew is in charge of Karl Schickedanz, who prepares hundreds of meals daily. His assistants include Mrs. Sybil Heiple, Charles Jones, Don Moss, John Griffin and John Keim. Arthur Grogan handles the garbage disposal.
Besides cafeteria meals, the camp has other eats and drinks (soft) at a refreshment stand operated by Harold Holland and his father, Ben.
To see that everything is peace while youth of the camp slumber, Harley Harvey of Du Quoin patrols the area.
On concert and program nights, other helpers are needed. Lee Childress handles ticket sales and Norman and Herbert Moody assist with the lights and other details.
"Better Halves" of two of the camp personnel also assist in the general operation, namely Mesdames A. T. Atwood and Ed Lee. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brake are on hand, especially on registration day and program nights.
The job of publicizing camp activities, arranging printed programs and handling various contacts is in the hands of D. W. Hortin, director of public relations.
