Dr. Wenhold spoke on South America. The theme was her visit to the forts of South America. After the talk the group gathered around the piano and sang Spanish songs. Then refreshments were served. -HISTORY- (Contrnued From Page One) is set out in suitcase scenes all around the room. These scenes are fairly accurate, depicting the build ing of Salem from the day when it was the forest primeval until the tobacco industry began and the Piedmont farmers brought their to bacco to market in wagons rescmb ling the clumsy prairie schooners. There was a replica of the stockade at Bethabara, a reconstruction of the school room we had jusjt vis ited, a scene showing the guests on the porch of the old Salem Tavern, and of Cornwallis’ army marching down Church street. There ia all lay before us—clearer than any his tory book could have told it. After reading halfway down the Magna Carta 'and there discovering that the reason it did not make sense was because it was written in Latin, we went to the Museum building for a final check-up. The stagecoach which used to make the run to Philadelphia was duly ex amined and admired, as were the old fire engines, and the sleigh with gay harness bells. Everybody went into paroxysms of delight over the quaint little straw bonnets which school girls of an earlier day tied on their heads with gay taffeta rib bons, and they all felt very privi leged to see George Washington’s silver shoe and knee buckles. We. looked at the Indian pottery, arrowheads, and other relics. We eagerly compared the uniforms of the Confederacy with the uniforms of World War II; we admired the glass and china collections—paying careful attention to the surprising bowl decorated with nudes, and to the shaving dish, queerly shaped to fit under a man’s chin. There were firearms, tiny little square-framed glasses, paper dolls, stuffed hum mingbirds, and even a little Chinese idol. It was time for the bell; so the museum visit came to an end, but not until Mr. Holder, gaily chomj)- ing a piece of Zweibach, had been convinced that he really shouldn’t steal that lovely old walnut drop- leaf table. And, as you can imag ine, to convince him was no easy job. —F. Y. wUai yo44>Hiuf> wuu WAR BDIVDS MOTHER STRONG HAS FIRST BIRTHDAY The “Stovepipe,” as the 60-milli meter trench mortar is commonly known, is used by our infantry for close-in fighting. It fires a 2.4-pound shell at the rate of about 35 a minute. , The mortar fires its projectile in a U-shaped arc and for this reason may be successfully camouflaged behind an obstruction. It costs about $500. You and your neighbors, join ing together, can buy many of these effective weapons for use of our army. Investing at Jeast ten per cent of your income in War Bonds every payday will do the job. Get on the firing line on the home front . . . join the “Ten Percent Club.' U s. Treasury Department ‘ ‘ Oh, George, do you realize it’s almost a year since our honeymoon, and that glorious day we spent on the sands. I wonder how we’ll spend this one?” “On the rocks.” Wife: “Did you see those men staring at tliat beautiful girl as she boarded the train?” Husband: “What men?” “Gentlemen, I now firmly be lie\^e in dreams, in their reality and power of prophecy. Last night while sound asleep I dreamt that I was at a concert, and, when I awoke, I was at a concert.” That Cub Reporter “We shall reside at the Old Manse,” said the bride. And the reporter wiote: “When they return from the honeymoon, the newlyweds will live with the bride’s father.” Gypsy: “I’ll tell your fortune, sir. ” Wayfarer: “How much.” Gypsy: “Twenty-five cents.” Wayfarer: “Correct.” Parson: “Brother Jones, does your daughter trust in God?” Brother J.: “She must—judging from the company she keeps.” Kissing a girl is like opening a jar of olives. The first one is al ways the hardest. After that— Handsome young boss to pretty steno: “Got anything doing for S'unday evening, Miss Brown?” Steno (hopefully): “No, not a thing.’ ’ H. Y. B.: “Then try to be at the office earlier Monday morning, please!” And It Certainly Does Cost Now-a-Days Office Manager: “I suppose you are laying something aside for a rainy day?” Bookkeeper: “Well, I’ll admit I’m trying to accumulate enough for a wet evening.” Sunday, October 25, Mother Strong will celebrate her first Salem birthday. Though she has been with us for almost two years, this will be the first birthday she has spent on the campus. Now established in her apart ment in the new Strong Residence, Mrs. Strong may know what it is to hear the happy birthday chant at meal time—and the sincere wish es for many, many happy returns. HOT DOGS? YOU BET! And hamburgers, too, will be on hand for all German Club members who come to the club’s first meet ing of the year, a picnic on the hill at 5:30 Tuesday evening. The club is out for a grand start this year and all members are urged to attend. But don’t forget to sign up on the bulletin boards. New members of the German department, freshmen and transfers, are cordi ally invited to join the club and attend the picnic. Officers for this year ares President, Margaret Lein- bach, and Secretary and Treasurer, Doris Schaum. See you at the fire place Tuesday!

Now I must be off to my file: ‘■‘Alive—and not in the Army!” to find a date for the Stee-Gee Dance. Maybe there will be more gossip for the “cats” next week. Who knows? But before closing. I’d like to say that our privilege of smok ing in the campus living room is in serious danger, so let’s cooperate 100 per cent and keep it clean!

Ernst Bacon’s “Low Bridge on the Erie Canal” was very inter esting after having heard his opera last'summer. We might well take heed to “The Deaf Woman’s Court ship.” Her hearing returned at a rather opportune moment, don’t you think? As with the foregoing aria, Mr. Thomas completely captivated the audience with this group. “Take My Mother Home,” was an unusually impressive spiritual. Its mood and intense feeling were un surpassed. Mr. Thomas could wel¥, try out some more new songs on a Winston-Salem audience; we cer tainly enjoyed Hall Johnson’s new spiritual “My Good Lawd’s Done Been Here.” Mr. Thomas almost fooled us into thinking he was just a kid when he sang “The Greatest Man,” the clever song about the boy’s opin ion of his father. “Blow Me Eyes” was full of surprising situations which Mr. Thomas carried off in an engaging manner and a> comical vein. He was recalled many times during the evening and graciously gave an imposing number of en cores. Mr. Carroll Hollister, the accom panist, played with ease and as surance and immediately impressed us by playing from memory. His solo group was delightful and en tertaining.- The Bach number was well known to many of us. The Rameau - Godowsky “Tambourin” immediately entranced us with its catchy melodies and precise rhythms. Debussy’s “Girl With the Flaxen Hair,” liis encore, provided an ap propriate change of mood after the modern number by Khatchatourian. Evidence of Mr. Thomas’ ability to make the most of a situation was his quick response when Mr. Hol lister accidentally skipped a num ber on the program. That was an incident in which the accompanist really was “one jump ahead of” the soloist! It is at moments like these that we are truly thankful that we found the cash with which to buy a civic music ticket. If this is an example, as it surely is, of the excellent pro grams we are having this year, we will eagerly await the four con certs to follow. —M. L. Paschal Shoe Repair Co.
