...wear Afro clothes, and had their demands granted. In Cambridge, they have sought to be photographed for the yearbook with fists raised proudly in the Black Power salute; they were turned down by the white principal, on the ground that "yearbook pictures are supposed to be static and not show subjects in motion...
Died. Charles Winninger, 84, spry old fox of show business whose 58-year career was highlighted by his portrayal of Cap'n Andy in Broadway's Show Boat; of a heart attack; in Palm Springs, Calif.

Producers send a show on the road (usually to Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, New Haven or any combination of two or three of them) so that the out-of-town critics can point out the mistakes that have to be corrected before the production faces the New York critics. But if the flaws pointed out by the provincial critics are major, fixing a show on the road becomes a hectic, often panicky, race against time...
