World Wide Fellow
ship Y.P.M. Subject
Miss Hermalink Speaks on
Germany and World
Fellowship
Y. P. M. this week was in charge
of the Y. W. C. A. The topic was
“World Wide Fellowship” and Miss
Gretel Hermelink of Mallburg, Ger
many, now a senior at Duke Uni
versity, was the guest and speaker.
Miss Hermelink is the daughter of
a German professor, but for the two
past years has been a student at
Duke. Her marvelous fluency and
demand of the English language, her
sincerity, and her quick and unique
humor and wit made her a most en
tertaining speaker.
The subject of her speech was
“World Wide Fellowship” and she
chose as her first point,, world
peace. This, she remarked, depends
on two things: a complete under
standing of the past and a conse
quent and full realization of what
the future must be. Because we know
that was made up the past, we must
realize that world peace is and must
36 our goal.
Germany is not the world’s enemy,
IS is claimed by many, but wants
:o be a friend. Miss Hermelink says
Germany wants to get to know tlie
world and have it know her, thus to
guarantee a brotherhood ofi com
plete understanding. All nations need
each other and cannot get along
without co-operation. Germany
i this and is doing her best to
e back into the world sphere.
World peace is her aim and so she
has joined the League of Nations
and the World Court for she knows
that only through co-operation can
world be peace be attained. The
church helps to promote peace, for
it brings all men together to meet
n the spirit of Christ.
Miss Hermelink spoke! of the
beauties of Germany and of her
marvelous old Gothic architecture. It
is the lack of ancient and historic
edifices in America that Miss Herme
link objects to. In speaking of archi
tecture she reviewed the appear-
^s of the schools and colleges and
turned, consequently, to a discourse
on the college curriculum. The re
nowned German educational plan
she discussed well, mentioning the
non-compulsory attendance, the type
of offered courses, the manner of
choosing a profession and the severe
but absolutely thorough examination
offered at the end of the four years
course. But she mentioned, also, the
lack of German school spirit and the
relatively few women who pass the
examinations.
Next she took up the subject of
the boys and girls of Germany. She
called attention to the lack of cos
metics among German women and
the professional status of them, for
they are accepted in any profession
as well as the men. The “youth
movement” among the young people
is almost equivalent to our Junior
League or Girl and Boy Scouts, and
such organizations. This movement
tends to promote a cleaner and more
understanding feeling between the
boys and girls. Hiking, one of Ger
many’s greatest sports, makes up
a great part of their frolics and it is
on these hikes, sometimes lasting a
week, that the young people
taught and kept in touch witli
ture and each other. They sing folk
lore and so keep alive the most
beautiful old songs. They dance and
sing and love music, but Miss Her
melink expressed her opinion frank
ly on what she called “America s
jazz and ugly dancing.” She la
mented the lack of an appreciation
of good music in America, and con
trasted it with the deep and full ap
preciation of Bach, Beethoven and
Wagner and other great artists
among the Germans.
Miss Hermelink’s love for and
patriotism for her fatherland, Ger
many, was very beautiful and her
ess was one of the best evei
livered at Salem.
Pierrette Players to
Give Play Tonight
Salem Dramatic Club to Pre
sent Play in Memorial
Hall Tonight
The Pierette Players are going to
present “The Importance of Being
Ernest.” Tliis is one of those
sparkling comedies that rush
through the evening on gales of
laughter to be a successful hit with
both young and old—a comedy which
is full of subtle wit and charming
humor with characters drawn from
the true aristocratic circles of Eng
lish society.
The story centers around a young
man who has invented a younger
brother called Ernest, in order that
he may leave his country home and
his excessively pretty ward with
her governess while he plays the
suitor to a clever young girl i
fashionable London. The complicj
tions which arise from a lost cigai
ette case, and the mystery of the
young man’s parents, cause one
laugh after anotlier. Tlie story rolls
along swiftly with extremely clever
John Worthing, whose creation
of a younger brother and love for
the Honorable Gwendolyn Fairfax
get him into startling situations,
earnestly played by Blanche
Phillips.
Gwendolen Fairfax, the English
girl who loves John Worthing be
cause she believes his name to be
Ernest, is excellently portrayed by
Fritz Firey.
Edith Kirkland plays the role of
Algernion Moncrieff, the debonair
young adventurer who is always off
on gay larks.
On one of these larks he meets
and falls in love with the pretty
ward of John Worthing, Cecily Car-
dew, whose part is sympathetically
taken by Mary Virginia Pender-
graph.
As the haughty, ultra-fashionable
mother, Adelaide Winston plays
Lady Brackwcll with the correct
air of an extreme social climber.
For the first time Athena Cam-
pourakis is seen with a sanctified
expression in the role of the Rev.
Canon Chasuble, D. D. ,The Rev
erend is in love with the prim old
maid governess, Miss Prism, por
trayed by Marjorie Siewers.
The two servants, the typical
English butler and the maid, played
by Minnie Hicks and Catherine Mc
Collum, respectively, have the habit
of appearing on the scene at quite
inopportune times.
There is much more that could
be said about this well known play
which was originally produced at
the James Theatre in London. It
is quite modern in all aspects, and
thoroughly enjoyable—full of snap
and pep and a long dash of ro-
mance.
SOPHOMORES WIN
FROM THE SENIORS
On Thursday afternoon the So
phomores met the Seniors in hockey.
Both teams played well, too. The
game was slightly out of the ordi
nary because the players them
selves furnished entertainment along
with their good playing. No one
could discover why Belle Denmark
found it necessary literally to cover
Adelaide W^ebb with mud. At any
rate, time-out had to be called so
that Adelaide could remove some of
the mud which had, unfortunately,
been splashed all over lier face. This,
howver, did not stop the game for
long. Soon the teams were back at
work and fighting hard. Then, sud
denly some of the girls (Mary
Brewer, Anna Preston, and Wynelle
Keeves, to be specific), became ex
tremely tired; in fact, they were so
exhausted that they sat right down
where they were, even though it was
in the midst of a play. It was

Brilliant Wedding
Solemnized Tuesday
Babe Freshman and Leila Jun
ior Joined in Omelet Be
fore Admiring Eggs
One of the most delightful and
“springy” affairs of the fall season
was the omelet wedding of Miss
Babe Freshman to Mr. Leila Junior
on Tuesday evening, witnessed by a
number of admiring and devoted
eggs. The modest and talented lit
tle Dorothy Thompson, a young
friend of the bride, toe-danced grace
fully down the aisle to preside at
the music-box. The bride’s family
made a most ungraceful entree. The
two country cousins, Carlotta Wat
ers and Rose Best, apparently had
never seen electric lights or an or
gan. The bride’s aunt, Grace Mar
tin, was entirely too weak to at
tend the ceremony, but she was sup
ported by the bride’s mother, Anna
Holderness. Apparently Mrs. Fresh
man was anxious to see if all the
eggs were present since she insisted
upon ^ta^ding up and loo^ii^ all
around the audience. Xella i^iinior’s
rejected lover, Louise Lasater, was
the chief mourner—how strange that
such love should be wasted on such
an egg!
To the strains of “Some Sweet
Day,” wonderfully rendered by the
child prodigy, the wedding party
began springing down the aisles.
The following bridesmaids took part:
Alice Caldwell, Mary Bennet, Ernes
tine Thies, and Lucile Patterson.
They were escorted by the grooms
men in golfing costumes. Nancy
Cox, Millicent Ward, Daisy Carson,
Blanche Phillips (a d.ashing Rome
with a six-inch mustachio) and Edith
Kirkland, (who thoroughly dis
graced himself by offering the en
tire party a drink and by spiking
the preacher’s water), the dainty
Misses Herdenricli and Ramsey
with their flowing braids tied with
pink ribbons, tripped lightly to the
altar sprinkling crepe paper in the
path of the bride. To the tune of
“Just Before the Battle Mother” the
charming little Anne Finley, wear
ing a suit which obviously belonged
to her little brother, walked demure
ly down the aisle bearing the silver
napkin ring on a lovely blue and
grey pillow (without the cover). Eva
Hackney, the hard-boiled maid of
honor,,pranced haughtily to the stage
to the , tune of “That Red Headed
Gal.”
At last the triumphant strains of
the “Wedding of the Painted Doll”
broke forth and the blushing bride
with her father, Polly Robertson,
under her arm walked tremblingly
toward the altar. The groom, ac
companied by his best man, Louise
Stevenson, managed somehovr to
stumble toward the bride. Appar
ently he had taken more than his
shsr'e of “fire water.” The; bride
wore a handsome linen suit and a
veil of net or some other ciirtain
caught at the head in a cornet of
pearls. She carried a lovely bou
quet of bridal poppies with vari
colored streamers. The groom wore
riding breeches (but forgot the
boots), a red flannel shirt, and a
sailor cap. The preacher, Adelaide
Winston, bounced in admirably, con
sidering — .
With the support of the best man
the groom was able to proceed with
the ceremony. In the course of the
egy ritual, Leila Junior promised to
be boiled, sizzled, fried, peeled in
any way his ■ better half should so
desire—he was drunk. Both having
agreed to fry together in the sauce
pan the minister pronounced them
bound together in the holy bond of
omelet. Frances Dofuglas iclog-
danced just before the ceremony,
and preceding it Sue Mauney and
Agnes Pollock gave a dance.
The bride and groom withdrew
to the tune, “The Fight Is On.”
Talk at Y. W. Vespers
On World Fellowship
Sunday Night Service Begins
World Fellowship Week
At Salem College
World Fellowship Week at Salem
College was begun at the Y. W. C.
A. Vesper Service Sunday night.
Mary Noi-ris,.chairman of the World
Fellowship Committee, presided.
The service was begun with a hymn,
which was followed by the reading
of a passage from the Serpitures, by
Lilly Taylor., After Elizabeth
Marx led in prayer, a trio—Wil-
helmina Wohlford, Millicent Ward,
and Dorothy Thompson—sang a se
lection from Tschaikowsky, God of
All Nature.
Miss Margaret Heidenreich, of
Nicaragua, spoke on “World Fellow
ship,” making her talk very inter
esting by including her own ideas,
and her own experiences in Nica
ragua. She declared that world
fellowship is the only preventive of
future ware; and that students can
advance world fellowship. By some
people the United States is consid
ered the most disliked country in
the world today: because other na
tions envy her and fear her; and be
cause the citizens of the United
States are lacking in a spirit of ap
preciation and consideration toward
other countries. The feeling of com
radeship must be manifest in the
lives of individuals before it becomes
■vident in the affairs of nations.
Miss Heidenreich concluded with
this statement, Fellowship grows in
the ground of understanding, is wat
ered by appreciation, and develops
in the sunshine of God’s love.”
The program, was ended with a
hymn and the Y. W. Watchword.

Freshmen Win Victory
On Hockey Field
Freshmen Defeat Juniors in
Preliminary Game This
Week
The result of a hard fought and
well played hockey match between
the Junior and Freshman Classes on
Wednesday was 2-0 in favor of the
P'reshmen. Although the field was
muddy, and playing was difficult it
was an excellent “show down” for
the ability of the players. Such
playing on a soggy and slippery
field guarantees decided hockey
abilities in the players.
The Freshmen backfield deserves
decided recognition. Especially does
jenks Harris merit praise for her
accuracy and alertness of thought
and drives. Philpot, playing half,
and E. Mickey, wing, also come in
fbr praise.
Junior stars were B'ijcliardson,
backfield, and Carter, center. These
two put up hard struggles and Rich
ardson’s quick interference deprived
the charging Freshmen of a second
score. Thompson, playing right in
side, was very quick, but seemed un
able to keep away from the slippery
places on the field.
This was a very exciting game and
thanks to the white clothes, red mud
and green grass, it was quite color
ful. Both teams deserve glory and
praise for their fighting spirits.
HOME ECONOMICS CLUB
HOLDS MONTHLY MEET
The Home Economics Club held
its regular monthly meeting Thurs
day night in the laboratory. First,
the members discussed plans for the
annual Christmas bazaar and other
business.
Then they witnessed a demon
stration of kitchen utensils and la
bor-saving devices, and closely ex
amined the various articles on dis
play. Mr. Rose, the agent who pre
pared the demonstration, explained
.the uses of and quoted prices on the
different pieces.
Seniors Again Win
Efficiency Laurels
Seniors and Freshmen Now
Running Neck and Neck in
Efficiency Contest
Once more the Athletic Marvels,
the Seniors, break the record of
the effeciency campaign -«rl*;h the
breath-taking score of 61 per cent.
Farther down the line come the
Sophomores, bdd, always striving
to lead, making a noble effort with
37 per cent. Close upon their heels,
panting and red-faced, and giggling
with glee, the Freshmen scuddle
with 29 per cent. Far, far away in
the dim, grey distance a group of
haggard creatures with bleeding toes
and weeping eyes, struggle painful
ly along, terrapin wise. On their
bent, aching backs is the world
“Juniors,” and beneath it 26 per
Shame, shame upon them. How
ever there is an old story about
the tortoise and the hare which
bears a worthy moral. Keep on
straining and panting and plodding,
oh worthy ones, and some day you
will surely catch up with and pass
the illustrious class of ’30.
SENIOR PLAY PRESENTED
AGAIN
Last night “The Hidden Guest”
was played by the “original cast,” at
R. J. Reynolds Memorial Auditori
um, under auspices of the Girls’ Ath
letic Association.
A fairly large and presumably
youthful audience attended, and con
ducted themselves in the manner of
the old Shakespearean audience—
though somewhat less violently.
They took delight in seeing their
practice-teachers in the role of ac
tresses.
The profits were sufficient to make
the seniors feel that their time had
been well spent.
