THE SALEMITE
OVATION GIVEN MADAME
GALLI-CURCI.
Under the auspices of the Civic
Music Commission the hundreds of
lovers of music and, heretofore, dis
tant admirers of Madame Galli-Curci
had gratified a wish of many years
standing, in the concert program ren
dered by the famous soprano at the
Auditorium theater. Comparatively
few of the lovers of music in this city
had had opportunity to hear the won
derful singer, and she was given a
great ovation, her audience gathering
from many miles around. Many were
denied the privilege because of the un
certainty of gettmg inside the build
ing.
l'rom orchestra to the top gallery
the building was packed and with the
enchanting recital rendered the event
was a wonderful success. Madame
Galli-Curci was at her best, always
alert to please her audience, the addi
tional inspiration resultant from her
appreciation that she was contributing
her “bit” to the promotion of the
elaborate musical appreciation and
educational program of North Caro
lina’s largest city, a program which is
gaining national comment, there was
every environment to a concert of rare
beauty.
Criticism of the program Monday
is not possible, in the literal, for the
famous Diva immediately won her
audience with her first appearance and
only too brief was the enchanting pro
gram. With accompanists in full
sympathy with the singer and her in
terpretations, Homer Samuels at the
piano, and Manuel Berrenguer, who
were accorded a deserved share of ap
preciation of the part of the vast
audience, Madame Galli-Curci’s ap
pearance here will be an experience
that will bring a thrill at the thought
many years hence to the fortunate
ones attending.
Nature was never more beautifully
pictured in song, true American home
life was never more tenderly recalled,
and appreciation of reward for sin
cere ett'ort to bring joy into the life
of one’s listeners was never more
strangely evident than at the concert
Monday evening. [

ECHOES FROM THE KIWANIAN
MINSTREL
“Did you know las’ week I was down
at Salem Colege an’ one of them
teachers was a havin’ an interrogation
of the elders”—
“You mean Seniors, don’t you?”
I don’t know, they was old enough
looking to be elders. But as I was
sayin’—in this interrogation the
teacher said, ‘Miss Connor, why’s your
nose in the middle of your face” ? and
Miss Connor answered as bright as
day, “Cause it’s my scenter.”
“Did you hear about Bob Vaughn
being a shero”?
“You mean hero”?
“Naw, he saved a lady’s life so he’s
a shero. Last summer when Miss
Mary Warren was about to drown
down on the beach and was a hollerin’
‘Help! Save me!’ Bob couldn’t swim
nor row but he saved her.
“How?”
“Went out to the bath house, got a
cake of Ivory soap and it washed her
back.”
they could, but Ruth Reeves she just
I set and thought about old Claude and
I how he broke his leg and how he had
been ‘scaping from the fires over there
'at Davidson ’till all she could write
was—“Rain no game—Claude.”
And that ain’t all, she has thought
about him so much that it took her
four years to pass trig.
“I wonder why all the young
preachers in town are crazy about
'Miss Bessie Pfohl and don’t give a
katy about Miss Ruth Crowell.”
“I know: It’s because Miss Crowell
loves her Toddy too well.”
E. G. Moore: “Dr., what is the mat
ter with me ?
Dr.: “I don’t see anything in your
head, but you look like you have Aunt
Jemima Pectoris in your heart. Is
that right” ?
E. G. Moore: “Oh, yes! But his
name is really Lawrence Pollard.”
“I went down to Salem College last
week and not a single Senior would go
fishing with me.”
“How’s that”?
“They’re all plumb disgusted since
Miss Pud Griffin has done caught that
old bony Herring”.
Teacher: “What’s the longest ship in
the world”?
Julia Bethea: “Eddie Shepherd's
courtship.”
Down at Salem College last week
the teacher made all the Seniors write
a five minute essay on football, and
they all went to writing as fast as
Y. W. C. A. ADOPTS NEW
CONSTITUTION.
The brief Y. W. C. A. service held
on last Friday night, the last service
of the old regime, was given over to a
commiitee of the cabinet which had
been working for several months on a
new constitution for the -Association.
After the singing of the opening
hymn, Julia Hairston read the consti
tution prepared by her committee. It
was then approved and adopted by the
association. Eliza Moore read a letter
from the National Y. W. C- A. Board
requesting Salem, if possible, to send
one delegate to an industrial confer
ence at Junaluska from June 26 to
July 6. It was decided to send a dele
gate and from those nominated by the
cabinet Margaret Smith was selected
as our representative. The meeting
closed with the repetition of the Y. W.
C. A. motto-

A NEW xMAP OF SALEM COLLEGE
CAMPUS.
Mr. Higgins, head of the Depart
ment of Chemistry, is preparing a f\?w
map of the plant of Salem College, in
cluding the prospective layout of the
two proposed additional buildings,
which when lithographed will be sent
in advance to new students as an aid
towards making them feel at home
upon their arrival in September.
It is intended to print this map in
an early edition of the Alumnae
Record and it will, perhaps, more
clearly than words, serve to indicate
to alumnae the new “lay out” of the
campus as it is coming to pass under
modem conditions.—The Alumnae
