FAREWELL TO SLAIN ETfflOPIANS Miss E. S. Pankhurst, editor of New Times and Ethiopian News, in an editorial captioned “Farewell to the Flower of Ethiopian Youth,” said. Farewell to the flowers of Ethiopian youth; farewell to the young savants; all are gone; all murdered in a day’s wild orgy of massacre. A year ago Italy was waging a relentless war against the Ethio pians; women and children were slaughtered. II Duce took liberty to strip Haile Selassie of his em pire. When Addis Ababa fell, there gathered a company of brave, de voted youths, who made their way to the west to aid Ras Imru and Bitivodet Wolde Tsardik to main tain the government ■ at Gare. When Gare was evacuated, before the approaching poison gas de stroyed all life therein, a band of educated youths, graduates of Ethiopian universities and techni cal colleges, joined with the cadets of the Emperor’s Military School and supported Ras Imur, fight ing until they were captured. These lads and hundreds of their comrades massacred with them, have laid their bright lives on the altar of humanity that justice for people, both great and small, may be obtained. Though the massacre of Febru ary 19th and the succeeding days have shattered the dreams that ancient Ethiopia would be regen erated, her youths will be remem bered throughout the ages. Of them we shall say, “Those lads, now dead, were on the very thres hold of their lives and all were eager to serve even to the sacri fice of life. —Carrie Mae Fuller. Music at S. N. S. At the beginning of the school year an opportunity is given to all students to try out for member ship for the Glee Clubs on the campus. The students are selected from the standpoint of quality of voice, ability to sing a familiar song with expression, and alert ness in general. Many persons try out each time. From this number is selected a group to -form the Glee Clubs for the years. Some are placed on a waiting list, while others are elim inated. Two music organizations were formed this year, a Women’s Glee Club under the direction of Miss Evelyn Johnson, and a Male Glee Club under the direction of Mr. Leon De Kalb. These two groups have worked together for one common goal, a higher appreciation of music among the students as a whole. On several occasions these groups have made the chapel ex ercises more enjoyable by their renditions. The commencement music will be furnished by the two groups in combination with Mr. L. De Kalb as director and Miss Evelyn John son as accompanist. From the Women’s Glee Club a trio was formed consisting of Be ni ta Hawkins, first soprano; Caro lyn Williams, second soprano; Ce leste Watson, alto. From the Male Glee Club a male quartet was formed consisting of Grayer Powell, first tenor; Pearlie Evans, second tenor; Jathion Hol- lomon, baritone; Otis Swain, bass.
