AMOCO employees from all
Kr the world will learn new
firefighting techniques and
inwork at Brayton Firemen
raining Field beginning today,
field coordinator Richard Pierce
lays.
B’ierce is responsible for coor
dinating company programs at
:he Texas Engineering Experi-
ne|it Station field.
B)il company participants will
Hctice in real life situations on
lie field today and Thursday,
^aid, and will have classroom
■
instruction on Friday to learn
about what can start refinery
fires'.
Most of the practice situa
tions will involve fire suppres
sion, said Albert Stirling, train
ing field manager. The firefigh
ters will learn how to contain
spill-type fires, refinery fires
and interior fires, Stirling said.
Pierce said both water and
chemicals will be used to exting
uish the fires.
Stirling said instructors for
the classes will be AMOCO per
sonnel, but they will be super
vised by people from the train
ing field. After the classes are
over, training field personnel
will critique AMOCO instruc
tors, he said.
Although most of the fire
fighters’ time will be devoted to
learning new techniques, they
also will have time to trade ideas,
Pierce said.
“The classes, bring together a
lot of company people that don’t
have a chance to get together to
discuss things that carl go wrong
within the plant,” he said. “They
help communication within the
company.”

‘Annie’ stars discuss opening
by Angel Stokes
Battalion Staff
Even after 500 performances,
opening-night jitters still plague
veteran performers Gary Hol
combe and Ruth Williamson,
the actors who portray Daddy
Warbucks and Miss Hannigan in
the Broadway musical “Annie.”
The musical ends a three-day
run at Texas A&M EJniversity
with a performance at 8 tonight.
Opening nights are spent get
ting accustomed to acoustics and
to the audience, Holcombe said
in a press conference Monday at
the Aggieland Inn. The quality
of the stage makes a difference
in how well opening night goes,
Holcombe said, while William
son said the performance de
pends on the audience’s re
sponse.
“Week-night performances
usually have better audience re
sponse, because people are
more sober,” Williamson said.
“Annie” has the same effect
on people as a fairy tale, she said,
because everyone has dreamed
of being adopted by a mil
lionaire.
Holcombe said the play is suc
cessful because the audience has
a character with which to iden
tify. He added the audience also
is able to relate with the econo
mic problems of the Depression.
For example, he said the
name Hooverville easily could
be replaced with a name
appropriate for today’s econo
mic climate.
The differences between the
stage production and the movie
are simplicity and heart, he said.
The glitter of the movie covered
up the heart of the story, he said.
Williamson said traveling
with “Annie” is like being with a
circus. Something always is hap
pening because of the children
and dogs, she said.
The two dogs used for the
part of Sandy are Moose, the
regular cast member, and
O’Malley, the understudy.
“O’Malley is like a typical
understudy — he always wants
to perform,” Williamson said.
He once sneaked away from his
dressing room and stood on the
edge of the stage watching re
hearsal, she said.
Williamson said she under
stands how O’Malley feels be
cause she was an understudy for
the part of Miss Hannigan for
two years. Williamson also can
be seen on television commer
cials and in magazine ads for
Wendy’s hamburgers and Her-
shey’s candy.
Holcombe also has been in
television commercials and soap
operas. Besides performing in
musicals and operas, he holds a
doctoral degree in musical arts
from the University of Mary
land.
