Math Club Holds
Interesting Meeting
The opening meeting of the Math
Club was held on W'ednesday,
The first half'of the meeting
devoted to the reading explana
tion of the constitution. After thi
the officers for the ensuing yea
were elected, and the ballots cast
!n favor of Hah Albert, president;
Ruth Edwards, Vice-President;
Ernestine Whitley, secretary; Fran
ces Hanes, Treasurer; Edith Kirk
land, reporter to the Salemite. A
imall, but enthusiastic group attend
ed, giving evidence that this is to be
ine of the most successful years in
the history of the club.
The part of Rodeo Oliveras i:
played by James Hall. He see:
Francisca dressed as a girl at j
n the village and falls in lov
with her. I.ater when she is again
dressed as the grandson of Senor
Hernandez, he challenges her to a
duel and when she refuses calls her
a coward. The Oliveras make a
raid on the Hernandez ranch, but
their attack is stopped through the
skill of the brave Francisca. She is
now the idol of her grandfather who
still believes her to'be a boy. H
iidentity is kept secret until she
forced into a duel with Oliver:
Here she is wounded and the fact
that she is a girl is disclosed. Senor
Hernandez loves her all the i
for her secret and so does Olivi
The old grandfather approves
Dr. Rondthaler was the speaker
at the Expanded chapel service on
Wednesday, October 5. As a rule
this hour is given over to some out
side speaker and it is very seldom
that the student body lias the privi
lege of hearing Dr. Rondthaler in
in extended address.
The students w'ere reminded that
thcv hail been together at Salem
for three weeks, and tliat the first
three weeks bring one into the most
eruc'al period of the year’s work.
During this time, a person’s habit
of study and sense of obligation
formed. To some, these three
weeks have been long and hard, but
others they have passed by quick-
Already one eleventh of the
tire school year has elapsed.
Dr. Rondthaler stated that he sel
dom thought of school and work
without thinking of and comparing
it with the Gemini Pass. This an
cient pass is the same as it was
2000 years ago, and still remains
unchanged except for pilgrim’s foot
steps that have chanced to
that way. It is a narrow foot- ,
that totally separates two groups of
Swiss people, for only by
ascent over the steep, narr(
may' the path be traversed. This
path, and its ascent, is a picture of
what.tlie process is through whi ’
Education must be achieved. I
fifty-two times does this pathway
turn upon itself as it winds through
the rocks. Higher and higher it
goes, until finally, after
the r
rriage
of Francisca and Oli-
, the s
white s
and the feud which has existed
■ears between the Hernandez
and Oliveras families is brought to
an end.
The picture is a delightful one,
^lled w'ith comedy and romance from
he''!rning to end. Indeed it con-

nits, with all their beauty and ele
gance, arc reached. There are three
vpes of people :who attempt to
ciimb this path-way. First, there
those who slowly, stubbornly,
heavily, wearilv and clumsily seek
:ts summit. Second, there are those
who hastily, breathlessly, spasmodi
cally, erratically and enthusiasti
cally set out to climb. The third
type includes those who know the
technique of mountain-climbing, and
who have a joyous sensitiveness
all that surrounds them. They are
those who have strength of limb and
vision, and joy of heart. These three
types of toilers cover all the experi
ences of student life. In the first
class go those girls to whom the
round of school life must be a
drudgery. In the second class go
those who are overly enthusias
an early halt,
be passed by those in the third
class who know the technique of
;tudying.
Dr. Jiond'tlialer stated that he
had tried to think of the fundamen
tal technique that is needed in the
preparation of each day’s lessons,
believes that any student of
ionable intellect and health can
do the necessary work required in
illege. F'irst a student must
learn relation, comprehension and
projection for these are necessary
in each daily preparation. Dr.
Rondthaler next gave an excellent
suggestion as to how studying
should be done. First there is a
necessity of daily review, of relat
ing each day’s assignment to that
of the day before. Just as all the
formal formulae of trigonometry are
related, just as geometry is not a
set of isolated puzzles, but a series
of developments, so our daily les-
a series of related events
and subjects.
Comprehension, which means to
ip, is the next thing that is nec-
sary. There is no royal road to
arning, one must continually strug
gle. There is no easy way or ele
vator up to Gemmi Pass. To come
to grips with each daily assignment
can be, and may be a joyous task.
Dr. Rondthaler'begs that a student
never pass over unexplained un
known words for they will rise to
frustrate a student again and again.
There is nothing in reading a page
over and over. The thought should
be, and mu.st be grasped and com
prehended the first time. Concen
tration is absolutely required. The
person who interrupts or distracts
who is attempting to concen
trate is a thief. It is better to

DCS Delightful Lecture
is, A Musical Cen
On Saturday afternoon, October
Miss Lucy Logan Desha gave the
members of the Glee Club an en-
ijovable picnic at “Peter Pan.”
The'crowd rode to the end of the
line, then hiked the remainder
of the way.
A large camp-fire was soon built
i-er which the girls broiled bacon,
..lade coffee and toasted marsh
mallows. The long hike and the
11 air had sharpened their
already keen oppetites, so no time
was lost in spreading out the pic
nic supper. _
The supper was much enjoyed,
and after it was over the picnickers
hiked back to school.
At the first Music Hour of the
;ar on Thursday, October 6, Dean
Shirley told of his visit to Paris in
the spring of 1927. His subject was
t, a (heat Musical Center. He
made his lecture very interesting by
telling his musical experiences there.
The Dean took an unusual route. He
sailed frcm New York and went to
Montreal where he took a Canadian
Pacific steamer across. He gai
amuzing account of his experiences
on the ship. After land'inj
going through the Customs House
Dean Shirley took a steamer
for Paris. On reaching the ci

Since it was the week of the “Grand
Prix” most of the hotels were full.
