FRESHMEN
CABARET
Freshmen Entertain Upper Classmen
—Unique Affair Given Last Satur
day Night.
When certain artistic and beautifui
posteis began appearing in certain
conspicious places around the cainpub
about two weeks ago, Salem sat up
and rubbed her eyes v/ith amazement.
Was it possible? Could the J^'reshmen,
yet on probation, and still beginners in
the art of college enieitainmentg, be
really and truly planning to give a real
;ti-ue “Cabaret on the evening of Sat
urday, 21," as the posters read /
the time Salem had been inspired by
the posters, by the announcement in
chapel of ihe coming event, and by the
talk of the loyal i^'reshmen, to a staie
of higli anticipation, Saturday had ar
rived, and the gieat nignt was at hand.
Very few people had stoppea to c,.
wonder what a Salem Cabaret could
be, but somehow the school just knew
that it was something—a something
worthwhile and entertaining, fiom aii
advance notices. So it was that every
table was filled, and that a merry
crowd of Salemites thronged to the
Cabaret.
'me menu, in true cabaret fashion,
gave a chance for vaxiety and sacisfac-
tion, and caused the neat little white-
capped Freshmen ma;ds to be kept
busy attending to orders, while the
general dancing lurnisheJ amusemeni,
between the special numbeis given b.^
members of the class.
Everything was so highly successfu.
and showed such talent and ingenuity
that Salem, at first incredulous, went
to bed, forgetting to rub her eyes any
longer, and liappy in the realization
that a future awaited the Class of ’iiO
—a future packed and jammed full of
the things that go to make us “Salem
Spirit.”
WALKING CLUB’S WEEKLY HIKE
MISS BEVARD’S RECITAL
MOST ENJOYABLE OCCASION
Most Beautiful Walk of Season Led
by Dean Shirley.
The glow of Indian summer was on
fields and woodland. Its charm lured
forth faculty and students. Miss Jack
son, Miss Kogers, Mr. Higgins, Mr.
Heath, and Dean Shirley joined the
(tappy throng on their Saturday after-
jioon walk, 'iheir road led out into the
peal country where there was a pleas-
^t little stream winding through the
valley. The trees were flaming with
gorgeous autumnal tints. Some of the
firees had something more appealing
to the girls than bright leaves—per-
8'mmons. The girls stood at a respect-
l1 distance from the trees while Mr.
Higgins thrtw ojissileB into their
pranches or leaned agaaist thcu
trunks and shook the persimmons
|own. Reluctantly the girls started
on the homeward way by a cotton field,
those woodlands, and over Happy Hill.
The setting sun had made the sky even
more brilliant than the landscape; sky
^nd earth were uniting to glorify the
^d of the autumn day.
-large Attendance Pay Tribute to
Unusual Skill.
The student body, faculty, and inter
ested friends in the city have awaiteci
,/ith pleasurable anticipation the piaui
-ecital 01 Miss Naomi Bervard which
.ad been poSi,poned on account of hei
illness and which finally took place
..londay night in Memorial Hall.
From the first note of the dashing
Jarabaude of Raineau-McDowell to
■Ai; last note of the familiar Uigoletto
■juarcot, Jliis Bcvard held her audi-
jnv.e as by magic. Her technique is
-aode^n, she has a beautiiul toucn,
and plays every note vv-ith expression,
xhe Beethoven Sonata was perfectly
rendered and the more modem “Island
;Dpell," “Peiite Valse Espagnole,” and
"May Night” were given with exqui-
s.tc ilnisn. The audience showed its
appreciation of her music by its ap
plause, and after the last number. Miss
rievarcl responded with a lovely little
jn^ore. Sa.em is indeed proud that
■he has on her music faculty one who
is so ti-uly an artist as Miss Bervard.
Uio following progiam was given:
Sarabaude Rameau-McDowell
riondo Andantino Ph. Em. Bach
Sonata Opus 31, No. 3 Beethoven
Allegro
Ailegietto vivace
Minuetto: Trio
Presto con fuocco
Schc-d^o in B minor

the latter the efliclcnt president of the
Music Department of the Woman’t
Club, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Stockton,
(Maggie Mae Thompson), Dean Shir
ley, Miss Desha, and Mr. William
Breach, director of Music in the City

We are rapidly becoming a soft peo
ple, says some one. First, it wa& soft
qollars and shirts, pjid nov/ it is to bs
soft coal.

.lakes Appeal to Salem Girls in Behall
of “Tiio Little Sister.”
The Wednesday moming chapel sfr-
/ice still holds its place as the time
•vhen entirely new phases of both col
.cge and outside work and life are pre-
sonled to the student body as a whole
On October 25, there were several an
nouncements of interest to tho stu
dents.
Dr. Rondthaler emphasized the men
tion already made of the reading o.
•‘Enoch Arden” by Mrs. Reid, a forme,
.eacher here, at Music Hour on Thurs
.lay. Notice was also given of the nex
presentation through the co-operatior
of the Rotary Club and Salem College
At an early date the Clift'ord Deverau:
Players will present the matinee
•‘Uomco and Juliet,” and tho evenint
performance, “Arms and the Man,” ii
Memorial Hall.
Miss Marjorie Hunt displayed to the
students a calendar with views sucl
as will be made of Salem College anc
sold by the Y. W. C. A. This is quite
a novel and splendid idea for gifts.
With a few' words of introduction
Dr. Rondthaler presented Dr. Delii
Dixon Carroll, resident doctor of Meri-
deth Collega, and member of the board
of tnistees of the state Reformatory
tor Gills at Samrakand, Moore county.
She briefly reviewed the history of the
insiitution. At the continued request
of club women the North Carolina Leg
islaiure apropriatod $125,000 for the
purpose of such an institution. Witl:
the help of the national govemmen
and of friends, Samracand now take?
care of three hundred girls with an
equal number out on parole.
A startling statement was made tha
:,hc average age of the Samrakan.
jirls, practically all of whom have
passed through jails, is fourteen—-
much less than the average collegc
girls’ age. Too, the life of these girls,
all guilty of criminal acts, as influenc
ed by thoir superintendent. Miss Mc-
Naughton, is a revelation of the com-
plcto understanding of human nature,
i'hey have schools In which their prog-
*-ess is splendid, clubs for social and
physical, as well as mental develop
ment, and a system of student govern
ment like that in a regular college.
Many instances pf the rebirth of a
girl in such an inspiring environment
were given.
Dr, Carroll then noted the vvayg in
which college girls can help Samrakand
girls. These are to forget their past
and do what i§ possible to make their
future more livable and to remember
I hem in appropriate w^s at Christ
mas tiino. This is tho first time that
.iust such an apeal as this has come to
Salem girls, but with the great inter
est which is called forth a hearty re--
sponse will surely be made.
