Dr. Frazier Speaker Miss Grace Taylor Beebe Lectures
In Expanded Chapel Bride of Mr. Stuart At High School
Author Reads Humorous Selections
In Negro dialect.
Dr. Frazier, president of Queen’s
College, was the speaker at Y. P.
M. on Wednesday, Xovember ,16.
Dr. Frazier, who is the author of
of his compositions, in negro dia
lect, to the audience. The speaker
explained that his early childhood
was spent in Alabama, on a large
plantation, and that it was there
that he first became interested in
listening to the original stories and
dialect of the old Southern darkies.
There were two darkies to whom
he was especialh^ attracted. Aunt
Randy and Uncle Rastus, and al
though these two old people have
been dead for a long time, the au
thor has put into their mouths the
thoughts and conversations which
would doubtless take place if they
were living today. His first story,
■‘Times Has Changed,” was a con
versation between the old couple in
which Aunt Randy insists that even
though conditions today are not like
they were when she and Rastus were
married, she intends to keep pace
with the times. Several selections,
of a lighter and more humorous
vein, were recited by the author, all
,of which showed the comic and de
lightful side of the life of the South
ern negroes.
Dr. Frazier concluded by express
ing his opinion that this large black
race, consisting of millions, who live
among the white people, and who
daily absorb their influences, will
some day come into its own. He
firmly believes it is the duty of the
white people of America to give the
negro a fighting chance, to help him.
so that when the time comes he will
be prepared to fill an equal positi
Dr. Frazier brought out the idea
that years from now, when the ne-
groe.s’ will take over the responsibili
ties of a higher and more educated
civilization, they will be governed
and guided by the influences which
they are receiving from the ii:

Noted Scientist Tells of Deep-Sea
I.overs of science and adventure
were given a wonderful treat on
Monday, Xovember 14, when Mr.
William Beebe, world famous sci
entist, explorer and writer, lectured
the R. J. Reynolds High School.
•. Beebe took for his subject,
liscoveries Beneath Tropical

count of his adventures and discov
eries under water off the coast of
Haiti. Beautifully colored slides,
and motion pictures taken at a
depth of thirty and fifty feet illus

Mr. Beebe said that he undertook
deep-sea diving not so much to add
to ins list of many adventures
,to gain a practical knowledge of
diving, it being an art of which he
knew nothing. He chose the waters
around Haiti in which to make his
observations for two reasons: first,
because the island was nearby, and
second, because little or nothing

Haitian waters. Instead of wea

Saturday Night, 8 o’clock Admission 50c
On Friday evening, Xovember
11, the Social Forum had its first
meeting of the year in the Living
Room of Alice Clewell Building.
The room was decorated for the
ion with baskets of roses and
chrysanthemums.
Charlotte Sells, the president, in
troduced Miss Stipe who several
years ago founded this organization.
She briefly stated) the purpose and
aim of the Social Forum, more fa
miliarly known as I. R. S., which
means “I Represent Salem.” Miss
Stipe emphasized the fact that it is
only in Social Forum that all the
students, both on-campus and off-
campus, have the opportunity of
coming together for a social meeting.
In this way Social Forum endeav
ors to create and to stimulate a
group consciousness which should
always distinguish Salem girls.
After Miss Stipe’s .short talk,
there were several amusing and help
ful take-offs on the behavior of
college students at various times on
the campus.
The president then presented
Miss Hazel Reade, who played two
violin solos which added greatly to
the program. Mrs. Audrey Clore
LeGrande sang several numbers
which were enthusiastically received.
After this program, which was one
if the most varied and delightful
ever presented in Social Forum, re
freshments were served.
At this meeting Dr. and Mrs.
Rondthaler, the eleventh grade of
the Academy with Mrs. Herndon
and Miss Zachary were the invited
guests.

Dr. Anscombe then held a Mock
History class for the benefit of Dr.

evening, and the answers to the ques
tions asked were ingenious as well
as amusing. This was followed by
a series of games and contests which
proved to be very interesting. Hel

tive book-ends as a prize for win
ning a contest in guessing the names
of prominent men and women of
today, and Charlotte Sells and Dr.
Rondthaler, joint winners in a poet
ry contest, were presented with a
box of candy.
At the conclusion of the games a
delicious salad course was served.

exploded several theories, in regard
to “man-eating sharks.” A shark
will not attack a man, no

assistant had dropped on a lin

them in the water. Another fact
which explodes a theory is that
sharks do not turn on their backs
when attacking their prey.
There are no adjectives with
which to describe the scenes and
colors of the deep sea. Mr. Beebe
savs it cannot be done either

exquisite. He showed many slides

Athletic Council
Enjoys Camping Trip
Delightful Week-End Spen
Camp Hanes.
New Book Is Edited
By Dr. Floyd
(Continued on Page Three)
The members of the Athletic
Council, old and new, accompanied
by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Long, and
Miss Atkinson, spent a very enjoy
able week-end at the Hanes Y. W.
C. A. Camp, near King, Xorth Caro
lina.
They left Salem Saturday after-
lon, Xovember 12, and arrived at
camp in time to partake of a hot
chicken-stew supper. If all reports
are true the trip was enlivened by
boat-riding in the moonlight, sleep
ing on dining-room tablesy scram
bling for blankets, and riding horse
back among the hills.
It is rumored that spme of the
“soreness” professed by several of
the campers is_ due to falls from
wayward steed; and that Tish Cur
rie aroused much admiration and
envy at Sunday dinner .by procur
ing five pieces of chicken, thereby
going everybody “one' better.”
The party returned on Sunday
ight in an open truck, singing the
praises of Camp Hanes, and havr
been thawing out ever since.
Those who were included in th
camping party were: Dot Fraziei
Virginia Martin, Sue Luckenbach,
Elizabeth Sifferd, Letitia Currie,
Helen Johnson, Adelaide Me Anally,
Rose Frazier, Rot Ragan, Virginia
Welch, Edith Kirkland, Elizabeth
Ramsaur, Mary Duncan McAnally,
Sarah Turlington, Rachel Phillips,
Miss Atkinson, Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Long.
The students and faculty of Sa
lem College will be interested to
know that Dr. Floyd, head of the
Model-n I.anguage department, has
recently edited “Le Cure de Tours,”
by Balzac, with her own notes, exer
cises, and vocabulary. Dr. Floyd
spent a summer in Tours getting the
necessary material, background, and
data for this book. One of the
main features of the book is the
original wood cuts, by the celebrated
artist, Etienne Gaudet. There are
twenty of these wood cuts which il
lustrate the story in every detail.
Among the most beautiful illustra
tions are the famed bust of Balzac
by the sculptor David d’Angers, and
the stairway of the cloisters of the
Cathedral, which is a miniature of
the famous stairway of the chateau
of Blois.
Dr. Floyd is a recognized author-
on Balzac both in America and
France, and has devoted her life to
the study of this noted writer. Last
October,“ Les Femmes daus la Vie
de Balzac” was published by the
leading publisher of Paris. It will
also be of in.terest t(J know that
“Women in the Life of Balzac” is
soon to be published in the Polish
language, thus making that book
appear in three different languages.
.The author has been very fortunate
in securing the assi.stance of Prin
cess Catherine Radziwill, who is the
niece of Balzac’s wife, and who
spent a great part of her life in the
Balzac home, in the writing of these
books.
Salem feels that it is unusually
fortunate in having such an eminent
writer and authority as Dr. Floyd,
on its faculty.
