CHiCA«0 * BOSTOR * Lot ANOILU • SAR FSARCISCO SNOWED inNDEE Now that the holidays are almost here (oh, happy thought!) there seem to be a hundred and one things to be done piling up on top of our heads. I don’t know why everything always falls in the last two weeks before going home, but that’s the way it seems to be. We’re all probably busier now — at least more conscious of being so—than we’ve been this semester. For freshmen, there’s that book to read, and those tests; for sophomores, that term paper and that biography; for juniors and seniors, those term papers and about a million outside things. About this time I start saying “I can’t!” and I hear a lot of others say, “I don’t think it's possible to finish.” Bpt then we remember that practically everyone else in school is confronted with the same trouble and the same term paper and the same test. It happens every year. So we people who’ve left all our work ’til about eight days from — let’s get down under it and get through with it. And I’m looking forward to the feeling of relief that will come (I hope), next Saturday when all concerning lessons will be left behind for awhile! —K. K. LET’S PKETEND Remember how, as a child you used to play let’s pre tend? You’re grown-up now, but not too grown up, I hope, to play pretend with us just once more. Now — suppose that you are a merchant in a downtown etore. An earnest little Salemite runs in and asks “Won’t you advertise in our paper, sir? We promise results.” She is a nice little girl, and you figure that advertising on a college campus might increase your trade — so you give her the ad. The ad runs for three or perhaps four weeks straight. Then the end of the month comes and with it a bill from the Salemite. Like the good business man that you are, you get out your check book and ledger and pay off the debt — wondering, just in cidentally, about the “promised results” of those ads. Where are the college girls you expected to see flocking into your store —? The morftl of our little game is this: the merchants down town make our college paper possible through their co-opera- THEES C-R-R-A-ZEE TALK By Nancy Suiter Thees crazee talk, she maka me so mad. I do not know what eet ees. Sometime eet sound like ze Russian or ze Italian. I do not know whaht, but eet maka no sense. And eveey wan talk ze aeelee stuff. Thees girl, she come in ze drag store. She fleeng out her arms, she leeft ze eyebrow, she say. “Geeve me ze beeg orange juice, geeve eet to me queeck, I wan eet so bad.” Thees other girl, I know — she hava date. She forget whaht she do and she say, “Ah my little cheeck, that picture, eet steenk. ” the boy, he t’eenk she craze. At ze hoikey game, all theez girls say crazee theengs. They say “Heet ze ball, Puckneely, pleeze hit ze ball. If you do not heet eet I t’eenk I fro mad.” The ver-ry worst ones, they are ze grreat Pat-ton and ze grreat Eleanor Carr. They seet in their room and play theez seelee Chinese checkers. Whan ze grreat Eleanor maka ze good move, Pat-ton poll her hair and say, “A 'chimaninoff, you maka me so mad I t’eenk I jus di-ee.” Whan ze telephone ring, she say, “Answer ze crazee theeng. She ring and she ring and no wan answer her.” Even ze dean, she talk thees stuff. She say to ze Eleanor. “I weesh I did not seet by yon at ze game, look what you mak me do.” Every wan in thees school talk in thees way that maka no sense. I t'eenk they all crazee, nont SVMPHONY PROGRAM DISCUSSED BY DEAN VARDELL (Continued From Page One) Debussy's ‘ ‘ Prelude a I’apres midi d’un faune” is based on a poem by Mallarme in which a faun has had a dream or vision of two nymphs with whom he fell in love. He tries to recall his experience; but did he see the nymphs or only imagine them? This music is impressionistic in style—typically French in its subtlety and refinement, as opposed to the German solidity of the Wag ner selections on the program. Moussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition ” is program music of the most discriptive kind. The composer, a member of the famous Russian Five,” wag so original that even his friends could not appreciate h!a work — so original that Rimsky- Korsakoff undertook to edit and “slick up” his works. After the death of the artist, Victor Hartman, his pictures were put on exhibition, and ten of them inspired thig suite. Brahms worked on his First Sym phony in C minor for some 15 years. Von Buloro called the work the ‘‘tenth symphony,” indicating Brahms as the successor to Beethov en. In listening to the work it is important to hear motives rather than themes. The introductions to the first and last movements sum marize the themes and material used later in these movements. Mr. Vardell said that one of his pet peeves” is the criticism that Brahms did not know how to or chestrate, that his orchestration is muddy and lacks melody. In com parison, Mr. Vardell stated, Tschai- kowsky’s works can be played ef fectively by a mediocre orchestra, whereas only a master conductor and an experienced orchestra can really interpret Brahms. BIRTHDAYS December 10-16 December 10— Lorraine Flynt December 14— Jo Ann Brill Hattie Crystal Mary Kerr Culbreth Priscilla Dean Allene Harrison Florence Harrison December 15— Jean Cox MODIFIED The modified gym class has taken up archery in a serious manner. Every Tuesday and Thursday after noon you can see three beautiful new targets set-up on the hockey field. The weather this year has been ex ceptionally fine for archery, and this sport has been carried on well into the colder months. In the archery classes twelve members shoot at a time; twelve others hold arrows and retrieve them. The excellent new equipment adds much to the joy of the sport. PIERRETTES PRESENT PLAYS (Continued From Page One) whiney voice. The plays were unusually pleasing to the large audience, but the fresh men did particularly fine work. Cos tumes, lights, and setting were well done; Ruth Nall was stage manager for the freshman production, and Katherine King managed the other two. Mrs. Bruce Williams was the decidedly capable director for all three of the plays. tion with the advertising staff. We ask YOU, the reader, to read these advertisements and to patronize the stores which gave them. That is only fair. Further, we ask that you let the merchant know, in a subtle sort of way, that you are from Salem College. Let him see the results of his advertising, (you’re pretty good to look at when you’re dressed up, you know.) The future editions of the Salemite depend almost entirely upon your co-operation with our advertisers. —a M. A.
