Hampton Playi
Organ Recital
At St. Paul’s
On Monday, December 12th at
8:15 p.m., Mr. Calvin Hampton will
present an organ recital at St.
Paul’s Episcopal Church. The re
cital is open to the public, and a
reception will be held in Assembly
Hall immediately following the re
cital.
Mr. Hampton has chosen for this
recital selections from five French
composers: Caesar Franch, Charles
Marie Widor, Louis Vierne, Mar
cel Dupre and Olivier Messaien.
These composers represent a group
whose music was written for the
special sound produced by the or
gans in their respective churches.
The similarity between the organ
at St. Paul’s and the organs located
m the Parisian churches motivated
Mr. Hampton’s recital.
Franch played at Saint-Clothilde
at Paris and taught at the Paris
Conservatoire. Widor succeeded
Franch at the Conservatoire as
teacher of organ and composition
and was organist at Saint Sulpice.
Vierne and Dupre studied with
Widor. Vierne played at Notre
Dame until his death. Dupre taught
at the Paris Conservatoire and is
presently playing at Saint Sulpice.
Messaien studied with Dupre and
organist at La Trinite.
At 6:00 p.m. Friday the 16th, Cor-
Refectory will be filled with
ristmas decorations, good food,
cited Salemites, and faculty mem-
^rs with their families.
V ’^his is the night of the Sopho-

NOTICE
Two films on India will be shown
in connection with the Asian Stu
dies course on December 13. The
films, “Assignment India’’ and
“Gandhi” will be shown at 2:45 in
the projection room on third floor
of Main Hall. The films are open
to the student body.
For Christmas'**
Any freshman, and any upper
classmen, for that matter, who has
never been to the Salem Christmas
Vespers, should be sure to take out
a half hour or forty-five minutes
this Sunday night to fill this gap
in her life at Salem.
At seven-thirty in Memorial Hall,
the seniors in their caps and gowns
with their sophomore pages dressed
in white will proceed into the audi
torium. The pages will take their
places in the front rows where the
seniors usually sit for chapel,' and
the seniors will be seated on the
stage.
Mr. Calvin Hampton, organist,
will play while the seniors, pages,
and audience sing “Oh Come, Oh
Come, Emmanuel”, which will be
followed by the scripture reading
by Mr. Johansen. The seniors will
render the ever beautiful “What
Child Is This ?” as a preface to a
short message to be delivered by
Reverend Samuel J. Tesch, father
of Sarah Tesch who graduated from
Salem last year. After Harriet
Tomlinson sings a solo, the pages
he’s living in town. You’re arriving
at the Snow Palace, magically
transformed by blue lights and
icicle tinsel from our lovely dining
hall—you amost want to go back to
the dorm for your coat, ‘cause it
looks so wintery! (The closest
you’ll come to winter this year, if
things don’t change!)
After you’ve danced many lively
and many dreamy numbers to the
music of the Catalinas, made sure
that everyone has seen your dress
from the best angle, and spent a
few minutes in the Club Dining
Room so your date can smoke a
cigarette, or perhaps a pipe, if
you’re lucky (of course Salemites
never, but never smoke), you watch
the lovely IRS Council members
perform the figure at 10:30. This
of course is done on a corhfortably
full stomach, for refreshments have
been served in the Club Dining
I Room from 10:00 to 11:00.
With great regret, you realize
that 12:00 has arrived — the magic
hour — and he pulls you a little
closer as the strains of the last
number slowly fade out. But it’s
all right, ‘cause he’s already asked
you for a date for next weekend,
and you’re floating on cloud nine.
You have to hook yourself to a sky
hook to keep from floating away
altogether, as you spend the next
hour in idle chatter on a delicately
carved bench on the Upper Pleasure
Grounds, or getting your clothes
changed for some more fun off
campus before you check in with
your chaperone and fall wearily into
bed.
All this can come true only if you
^ follow the advice of IRS president,
v^CTw^x Barbara Edwards, and don’t foreet
wl^beThe at the door,

The children are from grades two
to six, and will be met by members
of the freshman class when they
get out of school at two and three
o’clock in the afternoon. The party
will be complete with a Santa Claus,
Christmas cookies, colorful punch,
-candy, and a treasure hunt if the
weather permits. Each child will
receive a carefully selected and ap
propriate gift, as well as a bag of
fruit, nuts, and gum. At five o’clock
the day students will take each
child to his or her home by car.
The chairman of this project is
Kathy Chalk, the entertainment
chairman is Irene Rose, the decora
tion chairman Tish Johnson, and
the refreshment chairman Frances
Speas. Each freshman is donating
$1.25 which will cover all expenses,
including the gifts for the children.
This is a new project, as far as
we know, for the Salem campus,
and we wish the freshman class
success in its new endeavor.

ii^s with the various children’s
tpmes and their first and second
choices on their Christmas lists
have been posted on the dorm
floors. Nearly every Salemite is
delighted to be one of the five or
six girls who play Santa for a
particular, child—but a Santa in dis
guise, for the children receive their
gifts bright and early Christmas
morning just as if Old Saint Nick
had really come ‘round! The child
ren’s desired presents range from a
pair of socks to a real live dog. And
so imaginative girls try to supple
ment, and substitute when neces
sary, their materialistic wishes.
After entertainment from Salem
ites, with our own Russell as Santa,
the refreshments cleverly designed
by Elaine Falls will be served to
bright-eyed children. Last but not
least, in fact the greatest treat of
all, the children will sing, dance,
and share their own talents and
holiday spirit with us. We always
remember the special “little lady”
who sings “Sweet Little Jesus Boy”,
as well as the child who seems
gradually to respond to us with a
smile.
And as Salemites leave singing.
“We Wish You A Merry Christ
mas”, each one is deeply touched by-
being privileged to share joy with
these children of a different color,
but the same Father . . . “for of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven”,
And as each of the 72 children have
received their gifts, each of the
Salemites have received an intan
gible gift of worth.
Give
Freely
To Help Fund
Have you ever stopped to con
sider all the things that are done
on campus for us that we never
really stop to think about—the men
who rake the leaves, shovel the
snow and keep the campus clean;
the men and women in the kitchen
who prepare the food and wash the
dishes; the help in the laundry who
clean our clothes every week; the
women who sweep and dust our
rooms.
Christmas is the one time each
year we have a chance to tangibly
express our thanks to these people.
The Christmas Help Fund is now
being collected. The money will be
prorated by the Treasurer’s Office
and distributed among approxi
mately 80 people. When you are
giving, think how much these peo
ple do for us and how far what
you give will be going when it is
divided arnong 80 people. The Help
Fund will be collected through
Monday, December 12. Give gener
ously.
