Traditional Lenten Address
Presented On Wednesday
Challenge Of Christ Is
The Subject Of Chapel
Dr. Rondihaler Delivers Stir
ring Ad^ress for You';h
In the first expunded chapel serv
ice in I-ent Wednesday, March 1,
Dr. Rondthaler, in accordance with
a tradition as old as Salem itself,
made a Lenten address.
he forty days preceding Easter
are celebrated almost un.vertally m
the Christian Church, he said in m-
troduetion. Some clmrchs honor this
season with fasting and extreme self-
denial, while others give it only
passing, but sincere, regard. The
name Lent is not scriptural; it comes
from the Anglo-Saxon word lenken,
which means lengthen, denoting only
lengthening of the days.
The Christian church, however,
realizes the need in human life for
a certain select time when spiritual
needs should be emphasized, when
personal devotion will have less in
terrupted opportunity. Ash Wed
nesday, the first day, betokens hu
miliation and prayer, which in form
er times were outwardly represented
by ashes.
The text most appropriate to Ash
Wednesday is the relating of the
challenge to Jesus in the wilderness.
What must have been the conflicting
emotions of the inner circle of
twelve when Christ disclosed this
personal feeling? Such reserves of
confidence as the challenges and how
they were met are scarcely ever
disclosed to more than the most in
timate friends.
There are in the wilderness where
the first challenge was made flat
white stones which curiously suggest
loaves of bread. Christ was not
used to life in the wilderness, though
John the Baptist, trained in it, had
lived there. Jesus, hungry, saw
these stones, which probably prompt
ed the challenge.
Christ was a young man, on the
threshold of active and independent
living. He realized that as youth
goes, so goes the world. The essence
of the challenge is this: “On what
plane shall I build my life? On the
Oplane of bread, or on the plane of
Students Play Difficult
Numbers at Recital
Perform For Appreciative
Audience in Memorial Hall
On Monday evening at 8:15 in
Memorial Hall, the School of Music
presented students in the second
evening recital of the year. It was
an unusually well performed pro
gram.
The recital opened with a brilliant
and well executed number “Prelude
from Carnival Mignon” played by
Miss Frances Suttlemyre.
Mr. Kenneth Bryant sang a Reci
tative and aria, “If With All Your
Hearts,” from “Elijah,” by Men
delssohn, with clear diction and rich
tone color.
The classic style was interpreted
by Miss Margaret Johnson in Moz
art’s “Fantasia in D Minor,” with
careful pedaling and a lovely touch.
Miss Mary Louise Mickey played
“Mazurka in E Flat Major,” by
Leschetizky, with a finish which
showed her appreciation of its
rhythm and mood.
A very artistic performance of the
violin, “Concerto in A Minor,” by
Rode, was given by Miss Margaret
Schwarze.
Miss Tommye Frye in her musical
interpretation of “Praeludium from
First Suite,” by MacDowell, proved
equal to its intricate technical de
mands.

Salem Views Hastings’
Pleasing Marionettes
Senior Class Sponsors Two
Puppet Performances
In Memorial Hall on Tuesday
night, February 28, a large audience
enjoyed the unique performance of
Sue Hastings’ Marionettes, which
the senior class successfully spon
sored. The delight of both old and
young at the varied presentations of
Mrs. Hastings’ little puppets proved
t'aat marionettes give entertainment
to people of every age.
The little clown and his trick
horse “Lallapaloosa,” made the
children shriek with laughter, while
tlie older people greatly^ enjoyed the
little dolls’ brilliant costumes and
lifelike appearance in Victor Hub
ert’s “Romany Gypsy' Song.” One
of the most beautifully staged play
lets was the clever little skit, “The
Oooseberry Mandarin.”
The afternoon performance at
tracted an enthusiastic crowd of
children, who were enthralled by' the
antics of their beloved “Peter Rab
bit” and liis visit to Mr. McGreg
or’s garden. Of all the perform
ances this was the most artistic, most
marked with tiny intimate touches.
Peter Rabbit became a personality,
as did the gossiping Englsh spar
row. So skilfully were the move
ments controlled that the strings
were liardly' visible, and there was
no flaw in the action.

Salemites Go To Capitol
To Witness Inauguration
First Democratic President
Since Wilson Inaugurated
Another March fourth has rolled
around and another President of the
United States is to be inaugurated.
Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt, presi
dent-elect, is being sworn in with the
customary inaugural ceremonies to-
da}', March fourth. From all parts
of the United States crowds have
journeyed to Washington to witness
the inauguration.
From Winston-Salem alone four
Pullmans have left carrying excited
spectators; about a dozen of these
are Salem College girls. They will
of course, miss many pre-inaugu^l
functions but will witness the official
parade in which Mr. Roosevelt rides
as a private citizen for the last time
in four years, at least.
The Young Democratic Clubs of
North Carolina held a tea dance on
Friday afternoon. The purpose of
this was to bring local organizations
in closer contact with the state
ganization as well as to celebrate
the inauguration of the first Demo
cratic president since Wilson. The
parade to the place where the inaug
ural ceremonies take place begins in
the early afternoon. The oath of
office will be broadcast so that the
innumerable spectators may hear it
taken.
At the same time that Mr. Roose
velt is being sworn in, Mr. Garner
is sworn in in Congress. The cere
monies are somewhat similar, al
though the President’s is more elabo-
On Saturday night the Inaugural
Ball is held. At this function all the
officials of the United States and all
the members of Congress will be
present. This is the greatest func
tion of its sort held in Washington
and is attended by all the notables;
this ball is the first official recep
tion held by the in-coming presi
dents, and is a noteworthy climax to
all that has gone before.

Georgia Huntington, of Wilming
ton, N. C., was elected president of
Student Self-Government for the
year of 1933-19;31 in the election
lield between the hours of ten and

stem announced last week.
In class meetings, held on Friday
morning, presidents for the coming
year were elected; Juniors elected
for the senior class president Alice
Stough of Charlotte. The incoming

of Charlotte, and the incoming soph
omore class elected Nancy McNeilly
of Cooleemee.
The newly elected president of

ceed Mary Katherine Thorp, whose
term of office expires on May 1. De
cided by the nominating committee
and the student body as capable of
holding this most important office on
the campus, Georgia has had train
ing and experience in various activi
ties which prove her popularity and
her all-around knowledge of college
activities. At present she is presi
dent of the junior class, honorary
member of the Stee Gee Council, and
a member of the Presidents’ Forum.
Recently she was made a member of
the Order of the Scorpion. Georgia
is prominent in athletics, now star
ring in basketball, and is a wearer
of the “S”. Last year she was a
member of the Athletic Council. Her
first class office was that of secretary
of the freshman class. The follow
ing year, as a sophomore she was
elected to the Stee Gee Council and
the annual staff.
Quoting Miss Huntington: “I was
surprised to hear how the election
came out. Why didn’t somebody
come to the lab to tell Susie and me
before six o’clock?”
TWILIGHT ORGAN
RECITAL
The Y. W. C. A. announces the
welcome news that Dean Vardell
v/ill give a twilight organ recital
at the regular Y. W. hour, six-
thirty, on Sunday evening. Since
Mr. Vardell says that he does not
know what his program will be,
there is a hope that some of it
\7ill consist of L'L famous impro
visation. Visitors are especially
invited to the meeting, to be held
in Memorial Hall.
Dr, Gordon Leads
Y.W. C.A. Group To
Reverent Thought
Minister Spaaks on Simple
Love of Christ for People
On Sunday evening at Vespers,
Dr. Gordon spoke, using John 15,
verse 7, for a text: “If ye abide in
me, and my words abide in you, ye
shall ask what ye will, and it
shall be done unto you.”
In a partial analysis of John, Dr.
Gordon used the 13th, 14th and 15th
chapters. Chapter 13 tells of the
Passover supper in the upper room.
Jesus tried to keep Judas with them,
but what Judas had in his heart
forced him to leave. In chapter 14
there is a quiet talk, one man speak
ing intimately to eleven others. Then
Jesus suggested leaving. Chapter
15 records their walk toward the
East Gate in the full moon-light. As
they passed Herod’s Temple, the
disciples paused to admire its deco
rations of brass grapes. Jesus be
gan talking to them quietly, telling
them tliat He is the real vine and
His Father the Vinegardener.
The key-word to the passage is
“abide.” Jesus says, “Ask what you
want to ask and I will lay myself
out to bring it to pass for you.”
Dr. Gordon concluded his message
with Christ’s desire for man to come
to Him simply and abide with Him
in love.
