Saturday, April 9, 1932. THE SALEMITE Page Three. SOCIETY DR. AND MRS. ROND- THALER ENTERTAIN JUNIORS During the past few weeks Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler liave had the Juniors, both boarders and day stu dents, as their guests for dinner. These dinners have been most enjoy able for the Juniors, and, we trust, for Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler. It is delightful to dress up in one’s best, go to some one’s home—espec ially when the some ones a and Mrs. Rondthaler—have lieious dinner served in style by a butler in starched, white coat, and have lots of jolly conversation be sides. Dr.Ilondthaler seems to have no limit to liis stories, (you would be surprised, and maybe shocked, some he tells on himself), and Mrs. Rondthaler is all that a friendly, charming hostess could be. As for tlie Juniors, they have a delightful feeling of superiority, and recall with amusement the time that they, as poor, timid, green young Fresh men, were dinner guests of the Rondthalers. Dr. and Mrs. Rond thaler, in a most subtle, engaging manner, make them feel as if they are landmarks and that the school truly could not get along without them. After dinner there to be some amusing and interesting books to look at and more entertain ing conversation. Just one more thing—and this is a secret among the Juniors—woe be unto you if Dr. Rondthaler brings out the old fam ily pictures! He himself told us that when all otlier means of enter tainment proved absolutely futile, out came the pictures as the last SALEM WAS HOSTESS TO LARGE EASTER GROUP SECOND CHOICE PERSONALS On Saturday night a number of the faculty and students will attend the wedding of Miss Cam Boren (’29), which will take place at sev en-thirty o’clock in Greensboro. Among the guests present will be Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler, Miss Rig- gan, Miss McAnally and Mr. Camp bell. Elizabeth Leake also plans to attend the nuptials.

Rosalie Smith and Tommye Frye arc in Pilot Mountain for the week end, visiting in Tommye’s home. Emily Moore plans to spend Sun day at G. C. with Miss Julia MISSES WILLIS AND WARD PRESENT GRADUATING RECITAL (Continued from Page One) haps the most delightful of all. The dramatic scope of her voice showed up well in “Aria-Addio” from “La Boheme” by Puccini. Other i bers of this group were; “A Lovely Maiden Roaming” by Branscombe; “Over the Steppe” by Gretchaninoff, a mysterious love song; and “Five Eyes,” a musical cat-tale by Gibbs. She closed with “Villanelle” by del Acqua, a song that abounded in denzas which she, unaccompanied, sang very artistically. The concert came to a brilliant climax when Miss Willis, accompan ied b}’ Mr. Vardell at the organ, ])layed the Allegro movement of Beethoven’s “Concerto in C minor op. 37.” Miss Willis played several long solo passages, and throughout the composition, as in the entire pro gram, her technical capabilities and lier fine musicianship were evident. The ushers for the evening were Misses Mary B. Williams, Wanna Mary Huggins, Elizabeth McClaugh- erty, Tommye Frye, and Rosalie Smith.

Ting-a-ling-a-ling!” The Louisa Bitting Building tele- plione peeled forth its insistent re quest to be answered. Silence. Three floors full of girls waited expectant ly, each girl visualizing the face of her “One-and-Only” and hoping and praying that she might hear His Voice in a second or two. “Buzz, buzz, buzz !” The house- phone rang, and before it had a chance to ring again. Third Floor, almost in its entirety, dashed toward it in a mad scramble. Bets, a large girl, won out in the maneuvering contest; “Third floor . . . okay. Thank you. Miss Green popular young lady.” There was many a “Gangway,” ‘Give place to Madame Qi ‘All hail to the Powerful One” and much bowing and scraping as blonde Liz Green made her triumphant way to the third floor telephone. Hello. Oh, how’ve you been. Bob.? Fine, thanks . . . congratula- beating Georgia last week end. They said you played a great Yeah. Oh, tonight? Sorry, Bob, I’d love to, but I’ve already planned something. You guessed right. Alee is coming. Sorry. Call 2 again sometime. Bye.” Tlie receiver clicked on its hook, and the attractive recipient of the 'phone call walked in stately man ner down the narrow hallway, bow ing graciously to those less fortunate ones lined along the walls. “Dear me,” Liz said in mock condescen sion, “it’s too bad you girls aren’t attractive.” Before Liz could reach her room, a tall slender Junior ran down the liall and accosted her at her doorway. “Hi there, Liz. Guess what’s just happened. The funniest thing ever. I want to tell you all about it. You know, Johnnie called me an “Oh, do come in,” Liz reluctantly invited, making a grimace at the oth er girls who were giving Carolyn the “silent razberries.” And so she did. “We might as well go inside and listen to her blah as stay out here ii the hall and hear her broadcast it through tlie door,” Pat remarked, leading the third floor “gang” into The girls grouped themselves around the cozy room, some reclining on the downy sofa, some sitting on Carolina and Davidson pillows, and squatting Indian fashion on the ’ parley- and the tree were planted I.ouisa Bitting Building—close the place where the seniors spend their last year at Salem, and where their last and perhaps fondest •ies of the school linger. Tree Planting which has become traditional event at Salem College one of the most touching cere monies of the year,—far-reaching in traditional feeling; full of sym bolic meaning in the deep seeking 1 and the spreading branches of ;ree, in the affectionate clinging of the ivy; impressive in the sim plicity of the ceremony which for J has an inimitable charm and lexpressable majesty; unfailing s bringing of memories of the he had asked somebody else before past and aspirations of the future. I me. And in the second place, no boy “Well, commencez-T ed Ann to Carolyn. “Ha, ha, it’s the funniest thing. You’ll die laughing. The expression on her face !!!” burbled Carolyn. “Whose face?” questioned Pat in a threateningly patient tone. “Little Janie Allen’s, of course Ha, ha, ha. It’s too good to keep. You know, Jane is just cu-razy about Johnnie. Well, Johnnie called me up to-night and wanted me to have date with him. I didn’t give him le, though, ’cause I already had e with Pete, and besides, J. D. and Carl and Jim had called me for dates tonight, too. ‘Well, Janie’s room is right next to the telephone and I hnow she heard me refuse Johnnie a date. Anyway, he called her in about two seconds and asked her for a date to- ight. Just to be sure that she knew he asked me first, I called J away from the ’phone and told her that he’d asked me first. And do lu know that that little fool look ed at me with her face just as white s Miss Lawrence’s bedspread, and ith her eyes burning and said word. She turned right around and told Johnnie that she would be tickled to death to give him a date. “Now, have you ever heard of such a thing? And did I laugh, told her again when she left the ’phone booth that she was second ;, and do you know she said, ‘Pardon me, please. Busy,’ and walked right by me. The fool, she get out of school for her date ’cause she’s an underclassman. She gave him a date and she was second choice. You know, I never would be sec ond choice. In the first place I wouldn’t give a boy a date if I knew would ask me after he had asked some other girl. They have t much respect for me. No, I’m r joking (as she saw Pat openly ‘gi her the razzberries.’). They really do have too much respect for do that. They know I would be 'humiliated to death. Not a boy I know would do me that way. “Now, Bill yesterday asked for a date Sunday night week. How ’bout that for power? And I have my two nights out for next week al- •eady dated up. Jim told me that he— As Carolyn raved on, Pat, Liz, and the others listened with smirks on their faces to the prattle of this girl. They were forced to listen, or, at the least, to be silent, for the beau tiful Carolyn’s whining tones killed the other conversation. The telephone rang; twice in suc cession the house phone buzzed. Miss Daisy appeared on the scene calling “Miss Carolyn Brooks has a tele phone call. Is she up here?” Carolyn strutted out to the ’phone and talked “goo goo” baby talk into the telephone. Behind her the door to Liz’s room slammed shut, in dignant girls raised a furore of pro test against the dominion of Carolyn —lier bragging, her many dates, her humiliation of poor little Janie Allen an underclassman. There was just time for a plan of vengeance to be made by the angry group before Carolyn once again graced the com pany with her presence. “It was Bob.” Many pairs of eyes met one another instantly, nod ded understandingly, and removed themselves. “He’s the cutest thing; plays tackle for Carolina, you know. He was marvelous in last Saturday’s game with Georgia. By the way, Liz, you used to go with him, didn’t you? I believe I saw you out with him last Wednesday night. Too bad; you’ve lost your power, I guess. But I always go in for football men, you know. It’s just my line.” Many expectant pairs of eyes turned toward Liz, looking, pleading, hoping, almost begging for venge- ice. Silence. Then Liz’s voice: “Uh—yes, I did use to go with Bob a good deal. You would have to cut me out, though, Carolyn. Foot- are your line, sure enough. That’s the loveliest outfit you have on. Did you buy it at Sosnik’s?” Expectant eyes grew angry, then disappointed, and finally admiring, as they centered on Liz’s calm coun tenance. The moment of vengeance had passed.
