The performance is given nnder the
auspices of the Pierrette Play
The company presents complete
siage production of the plays
authentically costumed, handsomely
mounted and lighted. The play
correctly stag-ed, although the scenic
chief emphasis is laid on the force
of the action and the careful and
understanding reading. The PI:
ers have been received enthusiastical
ly because of the especial dignity
and clarity of the lines. The actor.‘
are all experienced and talented.
Merrill 15. Sherman of the Stanton-
I.oomis Preparatory Academy says
of them:
“. . . Shakespeare, admirably
cuted and acted by professional
players, is now available at a rea
sonable price. The Stratford Play
ers’ production is a gratifying pieci
of work. They are studied in their
lines and interpret them so that the
beauty and dignity of thought of
Shakespeare’s great historical
tragedy can be truly appreciated.
They are doing a real service in
reach of the student and those of us
who wish to see worthwhile drama,
but who cannot frequently meet the
demands of the box office.”
Mr. James Hendrickson has
ten vears of varied experience,
eluding two years with Mr. Fritz
Leiber’s Shakespearean company.
More recently he had the honor of
appearing with Mr. Robert B. M:

John 10:1-18.
The subject of. the program for
the evening was “A Trip to Some
of the More Important Foreign
Countries to See the Forces with
Which the Missionaries Have to
Deal.”
Martha Davis spoke of the con
ditions of missionaries in Africa.
The negroes have been so maltreated
by the white man that naturally
they are bitterly prejudiced against
tlie entire white race and the mls-
ionaries bear the brunt of this vio
lent opposition. Africa does not
have the background of the ancient
civilization that Asia had.

African field the greatest destiny
she has ever had.
According to the African, there
are only two kinds of Europeans
the white man and the missionary.
This Is the condition and the atti
tude which Is found In white
Africa. Beyond that is the back
ward Africa. It is here that the
gospel of redemption is saving
souls. The concern of the mission

In them a desire for right living and
of endowing them with spiritual

Mary Meyers Faulkner told about

'rhe Salemite notes with
deepest regret the death of
Mrs. Louise Frances Stipe,
the mother of our Dean of Wo
men, Miss Lula Mae Stipe.
Louisa Frances (Parrish)
Stipe, daughter of^ Mr. G. G.
and Catherine Finn Parrish,
was born in Guilford County,
Mav 18, 1851, and died in
Winston-Salem, on March 18,
1930.
Mrs. Stipe was educated in
Guilford schools, and for seven
summers was in charge of Do
mestic Science work at Mount
Bethel Mission School in Vir-
a member of
„itv, and beside being one of
the oldest, was one of its most
loyal and consistent members.
We knew her to be a busy
mother, a gentle, happy Christ
ian woman affectionately ab
sorbed in the work of her only
daughter, Miss Stipe. I.lving
in the Belo Home she was In
close association with Salem,
and was always vitally Inter
ested in the college activities.
Mere words cannot add to
the high appreciai
ti which
„„s held by all who knew
her, for slie filled her days with
but effective service.
Comforting and friendly by
disposition, patient in sickness,
uncomplaining, and sweet-spir
ited, she was a constant Inspi
ration to those who knew her.
“To know her was to love
her.”

Present Sign
Presentation Made at Chapel
Service on the Square
One day last fall students of
Salem College Spent a merry day
•iding, walking and running from
classes to Van Dyke’s Department
Store and back again to classes. As
a result of the money made on that
day of work and play, travelers
passing through the city no longer
wonder what this institution might
be. They no longer drive quizzi
cally aroond the square examining
the landmarks and making erroneous
lumptions. For in the center
which is nearest the street nangs a
nandsome sign with Salem College
on it in raised Old English letters.
The posts which hold the sign in
s are as rustic as possible, being
i cut down from the forest still
bearing their bark and knots. The
sign itself is made of rough brown
metal and the letters are in dull
green glass. It is suspended from
a heavy chain. The Seniors plan to
plant ivy around the base of the
posts in this way enhancing the
rusticity of it. Thq green and
brown of the sign harmonize beau
tifully with the green of the leaves
and grass and brown of the tree

Salem College Orchestra
Presents Concert
Annual Musical Presented By
Miss Read, Pleases Big
Audience
The annual concert of the Salem
College Orchestra and Ensemble un
der the direetloiv of Miss Hazel
Horton Reade was presented in Me
morial Hall last night to a capacity
audience.
The program was unique in that
the first three numbers were com
posed by coptemporairy) musicians
of the eighteenth century, Mozart,
Dlttersdorf and Haydn. An ideal
number for opening the program
the “Allegro,” from the famous
Jupiter Symphony, by Mozart,
whlcn was given a very spirited per
formance.
Dlttersdorf, a noted violinist of
the eighteenth century, and friend
of Haydn, is well known for his
stringed quartets. The one inj E
flat major followed the Mozart and
was played by Miss Read, George
Dlckleson, Albert Blumenthal and
Carl Plaster. Lovers of stringed
music were delighted to hear this
interesting work which is so sel
dom played.
The climax of the program was
achieved in Haydn’s symphony in
C major. The first movement is
characteristic of Haydn in one of
his gayest moods. In contrast to
the sparkling humor of the Vivace
the plaintive theme of the
Adagio. The technical difficulties
of this movement had been admi-
•ably mastered and it was played
with ease and a beautiful balance
Haydn, in the third move
ment, seems to be anticipating the
scherzos of Beethoven. In this par
ticular Minuet he departs from_ the
formal stately dance of his day'and
writes this scintillating movement
which is so decidedly instrumental.
The more firey final movement was
played with the fine vitality and de
lightful grace. Throughout the en
tire symphony the wind parts were
played on the organ by Dean
Charles G. Vardell Jr.
Concluding the program, twenty-
four violins played) from memory
