Saturday, February 18, 1933. THE SALEMITE Page Three. llNTER-COLLEGlATE NEWSj * , . . -t “Co-eds are nothing but noisy, fas tidious, ill-tempered parrots who lat er develop into parasites,” so de clares an able antagonist of a pro posed plan that Boston College be made co-educational. Students at Stanford who are fined for speeding but who plead “no money” are required to wash win dows and generally clean the Palo Alto jail and court house in place of fines. A five dollar fine is paid by three hours of hard work. —The Pioneer. February 11, students of State College celebrated the depression with the Senior class all-college dance. Boys and girls clad in rags attended the dance since it had been announced that old clothes only would be allowed to be worn at the affair. Priceless manuscripts of Georgf Washington have been found in Lee Chapel at Washington and Lee Uni versity. They were in a box un opened since the death of General Lee’s daughter, Mary Lee. Among the papers were the last of the un discovered accounts of General Washington. —The Pioneer. Stee-Gee Banquet Glorifies Ping Pong Mgr. Hadley Successfully Pre sides Over Festivities The most outstanding social cess of the year, the long-awaited Ping-Pong banquet, took place last •night, Friday 17, in the college din ing room with the various Ping-Pong teams as honor guests. The center table, allotted to the players, presided over by Marion Hadley, manager of ping-pong, who made a charming speech of welcome at the beginning. During the delicious course dinner, she called on various members of the faculty to express their individual opinions on this newest of sports at 'Salem. Being of bashful nature, four popular professors spoke by proxies, who were kind enough to give char acteristic speeches fitting for the occasion. Mr. McEwen, or rather Mr. Riggan, (in the person of Mary Penn) was greeted by a burst of ap plause following his “typical” toast. Others, not received with less en thusiasm, were Mr. Roy Cambell, suitably represented by Babbie Way; Mr. Curlee, wlio had selected Susan ! Calder as his proxy; and Mr. Oerter, ably depicted by Mary B. Williams. All of these gentlemen had taken ac- ' tive part in the recent tournament and expressed their preference to ping-pong over any other sport. Modern French Music Subject French Club Miss Williams Delights Circle With French Songs Le Cerele Francais met Wednes day afternoon in the recreation roon of Louisa Bitting Building. An in teresting musical program featuring French Music and Composers Josephine Courtney gave a brief | discussion of Debussy, an outstand ing Composer of the Impressionistic school, his life, the nature of his compositions, and his place in the musical world. The characteristics of his music were interestingly in terpreted by Mary Absher, who played “T)r. Gratus ad Parnassum.” Mary B. Williams sang two de lightful little French songs accom panied by Wanna Mary Huggins at the piano. Mary Catherine Siewers, Miriam Stevenson, Josephine Courtney and Lucy Gulick Rogers served delicious Russian tea and sandwiches. Naturally, the climax of the eve ning came with the presentation of the trophy, a handsome pastry affair, hand wrought for the occasion and bearing the name of the winner. It was graciously received by this hap py personage amid hearty applause for her skill. Music for the ban quet was furnished by Miss Jean Robinson at the Piano. ! MRS .COUNCIL SENDS GREETINGS TO SALEM ALMA MATCR Valley, a distance of about ninety miles, invited me to spend the holi days with them. Just like a girl, I was excited and wrote my father for permission to go. He replied that, while it was very kind of my relatives to send me the invitation, he thought it best for me to remain at the aead- emy. A vacation would detract my mind from my studies.” According to her own accounts, but more especially to those of a friend and cousin, Mrs. May Gwyn of Lenoir, Mrs. Council was brilliant intellectually and so talented in sic that probably if her wealth had not presented an obstacle to genius, she might have become celebrated for her beautiful voice. It was con sidered unusually beautiful, and one gentleman, who had heard Jenny Lind in concert, declared that the voice of Mary Alice Bostwick was equal to that of the renowned “song bird.” “The girls used to beg me to play the piano,” she continued, “because I could play anything by ear. They danced the scottische and the waltz and the polka—those pretty dances. When I was not playing, I used to join them. People said—please don’t think I am trying to give credit to myself—that I was a beau tiful dancer.” Telling of how she left boarding school and returned to her home in Sumter, she said, “My father wanted to send me to a finishing school in Charleston, but I told him that I was already finished at Salem^’ One of the greatest joys of Mrs. Councill’s life is her great-grand- niece and namesake, Alice Margaret fBoyden, who lives in Blowing Rock. “When little Alice was three years old,” Mrs. Councill happily told with a smile, as she held the photograph of the child in her wrinkled hands, “she climbed into my lap one day and looked at this pin I am wearing. ‘I wish I had it,’ she told me wist fully. I told her she might when I was gone. ‘Gone?’ she asked. ‘Wlien I am dead, child,’ I ex plained. ‘You won’t ever die,’ she told me sweetly, and pointing her finger toward the sky, ‘You’ll go straight up like tliat, and it won’t Imrt at all.” As they watched this wonderful old woman with a century of beau tiful Christian living behind her, iher visitors from Salem thought that she would go in just that way. At Wittonberg University three blonde co-eds debated with three dark-haired girls on the subject that brunettes were more intelli gent than blondes. The brunettes won, proving their point. —Swarthmore Phoenix. 00^ ILLUSION: Josie, the lovely trapeze artist, stands upon a small platform. At the will of the magician she leaps twenty feet into the air to reach her trapeze. She uses no ropes, no ladder! A phe nomenal leap for a woman ,,, or a man! EXPLANATION: Josie didn’t jump . .. she was sprung! The twenty-foot leap is not dependent on Josie’s ability, but on a powerful spring mechanism hidden beneath the stage which propels the artist upward through the air. The force is so violent that the lady wears a light steel jacket which protects her from injury as she starts her astonishing leap. TO B£ 1^00£ED ... it's MORT FU-JV to I^ow Magic has its place...but not in ciga rette advertising. Consider the illusion that there is a mysterious way to give cigarettes a superior “flavor.” EXPLANATION: Cigarette flavor can be controlled by adding artificial flavor ings. By blending. And by the quality of tobaccos used. Cheap, raw tobaccos can be “buih up” or “fortified” by the lavish use of artificial flavorings. CUMCLS Such magic, however, seldom holds the audience. Your taste finally tells you the truth. The cigarette flavor that never stales, never varies, never loses its fresh ap peal, comes from mild, ripe, fragrant, more expensive tobaccos...blended to bring out the full, round flavor of each type of leaf. It’s the quality of the to* bacco that counts! It is a fact, well known by leaf tobacco experts, that Camels are made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos than any other popular brand. Because Camel actually pays millions more every year for choice tobaccos, you find in Camels an appealing mild ness, a better flavor. And Camels taste cooler because the welded Humidor Pack of three- ply, MOISTURE-PROOF cellophane keeps them fresh. JVO TRICKS ..JUST COSTLIER TOBACCOS IN A MATCHLESS BIBND
