Page Four. THE SALEMITE March 24, 1944. Dr. Black to Direct Cleveland Symphony Orchestra Tonight For its fourth concert in the city, the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra will be presented at Eey- nolds Memorial Auditorium tonight at 8:30 o'clock. An' unusual feature of the con cert will be the appearance of one of the nation’s few truly American “top notch” conductors, Dr. Frank Black, who has replaced Erich Leinsdorf after the latter’s entrance into the army. A native of Phila delphia, Dr. Black majored in chem istry at Haverford College but after gr^wltiation decided to devote his life to music. Working successively as a hotel pianist, writer of vaudeville songs, editor of a music magazine, and director of a vocal quartet, his cap abilities were brought to the at tention of the' radio industry, and in 1928 he was appointed Musical Director of NBC. In addition to holding this position, he directs his own String Symphony. Salem College radio listeners are familiar with the work of Dr. Black, as he has been he^lrd con ducting the Summer series of NBC symphony concerts over WSJS for the past several seasons. Although the Cleveland orchestra has appeared in Winston-Salem three times, it is with new intt»rest that it comes to the city this time. At each of the former performances, Artur Rodzinaski, who for seven years directed the group but is new with the New York Philhar monic Orchestra, was conductor. Lcnnsdorf succeeded him one week after the concert here last year. The program will be opened by Beethoven’s overture to Eqmont, followed by Brahm’s Symphony No. in D major. After the inter mission thf remainder of the con cert will be d'cvoted to the works of Wagner, including selections from Iiohengrin, Lamihauser, and the Ride of the Voliyries from Die Walkure. The personnel of the orchestra, itself, remains unchanged with those artists who appeared here last year returning. The group has had 22 years of steady and consistent growth and officials of the Civic Alusic Association predict the con cert toniglit, under the direction of Dr. Black, to be one of the moat brilliant in the history of the or chestra.

HONOR SOCIETY {Continued from Page One.) Dr. Rogers said. Good education is tliat which is most conducive to tlie dca'elopment of the individual. It may be de stroyed by too much formality in the curriculum, liy political machines, and by totalitarian ten dencies. In conclusion Dr. Rogers said, “Both students and teachers must be free in their search for truth and beauty. Wi> mus-t insist on the right of a free citizen to quality in his education. If we do’ not accept our responsibility, the days ahead are indeed dark.” After the installation, the mem bers of the new society w'f-l-e honored at a special luncheon in Corrin Hall.

Sports Rambling Here we go again! Rain, shine, rain, shine, then some more rain! But let me suggest that you make good time with your “rain time.” What little you may have left from term papers and term projects, you could easily and i)rofitably spend in a game of badminton or pingpong. In badminton there is a tourna ment on. Fifteen girls have signed up to play. A remarkable turnout! They are as follows; Rosemary Cleveland, Justice Henderson, Evelyn Shield, Julia Garrett, Mary Garrou, Eilie Rodd, Jane Mulhollem, Lois Wooten, Ann Douthit, Edith Stovall, Adair Evans, Lou Stack and Eva Martin Bullock. These have signed up for the singles tourna ment. Mary Lou Langhorn and Adair Evans are challenging any other couple to a doubles game. Remember this in case you are a whiz of a player and have some time! Later in about two W'eeks, when we have more sun than rain, soft ball will begin, says Edith Stovall, softball manager. One would have thought the army had taken over the sophomores in gym Wednesday afternoon. They did their marching very well. As in dicated I)y the demonstration, we have a very graceful bunch of freshmen. Shall we meet in the gym!

I know many of the seniors who would make good of ficers, and think they would like the life of a Navy girl ... As you know we have a great gather ing of Salemites in Washington, and Betsy Tracy told me that Dot Sisk King has recently appeared on the scene. I keep running into many of the girls around the Navy build ing and down town, and' Miss Tur lington and I often have lunch to gether and exchange experiences. Please give every one at Salem my kindest regards. I hope before' another college generation (*ntera the portals I may be able to pay a visit tthere; but of course that’s up to the Navy.” Prances Neat, ’43, is busy these days driving a school bus and giving pre-induction driving courses to boys nearing draft-age in addition to her regular duties as science teacher at Bragtown School near Durham, N. C. ' Frances says she enjoys her extra- curricula work, especially since the students have become used to the idea of a woman drive. She reports, the apples are still being polished, but that she prefers flowers bcause they last longer.
