DEAN C. G. VARDELL, JR. IN BRILLIANT RECITAL (Continued from Page One.) singing quality of the organ. In “Will-O’-The W^isp,” by Gordon Balch Nevin, a light, tantali number, there was a certain elu! ness, a certain mysteriousness which the name suggests. “Adagio Toccata,” from Symphony V, by Charles Marie Widor, embodied both the slow and graceful, and the bril liant and complicated. Mr. Parker gave a sincere inter pretation of “Murmuring Zephyrs,” by Jensen, and “A Message from the Night,” by Cedric Lemont. Mr. Vardell began his closing group with “Ephata,” by Otto Mat- ling. This is from “Christus,” a s of twelve interpretations of the life of Jesus, portraying the miracle of the deaf and dumb man. The m at first full of poignant and groping misery, brought out by the bass notes and pedals, suddenly burst ' a sudden, solemn joy. This followed by the well-known “Lon donderry Air,” arranged by Herbert Sanders. Mr. Vardell composed the last two numbers for tins occasion and performed them here for the first time. In the “Carillon " lude,” his own composition, he made full use of the chimes against a soft accompaniment of exquisite oi gan music. In “Skyland,” also by Charles Vardell, Jr., the strains of “Barbara Allen,” an old Mountain folk “ballet,” mingled with the misty blue of distant peaks and the hues of the sunset, which flamed and then died away. Far off in the dis tance one heard the chimes calling for evening prayer. The concert was enjoyed by about 1,200 people. BETA PLEDGE DINNER On Saturday night, September 19, 1931, the Beta Beta Phi Sorority of Salem College entertained its pledges in the private dining-room of the Blue Willow Tea Room. Lighted red candles in black eandle-sticks, red and yellow dahlias as a centerpiece, and corsages of American Beauty Roses, baby’s breath and asparagus fern at the places of the pledges, ornamented the table. A tiny black and gold pledge pin, on which was engraved the Greek letters of the Sorority and the head of a bull-dog, pinned on corsage of each pledge. Places were set for twenty- people. The following girls were honorees: Misses Dorabelle Graves, Dorothy Abernethy, Ann Meister, Mary Cath erine Siewers, Frances Hill, Mary Katherine Thorpe, Ann Shuford, Mary Sample, Grace Pollock, and Isabel Pollock. Other members of tlie sorority present were M Anna Pauline Shaffner and Eleanor Willingham, of Winston-Salem Misses Winifred Fisher,' Nina Hoff man, Edith Claire Leake, Mary Vir ginia Pendergraph, Eleanor Idol, Anna Preston, Margaret Johnson, Beatrice Hyde, and Sarah Graves.

They gave a delight ful debate on this query: “Which is worse, for a giraffe to have a sore lat, or a centipede to have IS?” Ollie I.eake Hammond also raised the student body’s apprecia tion of oratory by her speech on “Where Is W^hich.” Aren’t you glad Santa Claus’s bag is not white?

By the way, wasn’t the green rib bon becoming? And don’t you love to hear Bushy Mcl.ean crow? And Rebecca Thomas play the piano? I never enjoyed an evening more—and Constance Moore (alias Emily) — ohinothing! Anyway, it’s always best for Freshmen to learn to an nounce at the first of the year.
