Salem Entertained By
Hampton Singers
Negro Quartet Delights Group
From School and City
Tuesday night at seven o’clock
the Hampton Institute quartette
presented three groups of negro
spirituals. Dr. Rondthaler,
troducing the singers, told that they
had traveled over many lands, last
summer singing in the islands of St.
Croix and St. Thomas.
The four men showed unusual
ability to produce the close harmony
of their semi-chants. Every one of
the spirituals received great ap
plause, but those pieces which were
perhaps most appreciated and en
joyed were the familiar “I Got a
Robe,” “Mighty Lak a Rose,” and
“Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.”
Mr. Hammett explained that
Hampton Institute sends out its
quartet to interest people and earn
money where it can. It is under the
auspices of the North Carolina com
mission on interracial co-operation
and has been in existence for over
fifty years. One of its members,
the second bass, is now beginning his
forty-sixth year of singing for the
Institute. The quartette travels nine
months of the year, visiting universi
ties, colleges, and schools and fre
quently it appears in private homes.
Mr. Pope, a young negro who has
just been graduated from the busi
ness division of Hampton, told some
thing of the influence of that insti
tute on his life. He showed how the
negroes have progressed and will
continue to progress through educa
tional advantages and help from the

equal match. It would be hard
say who was feature scorer
either team, as it was a fine piece of
vork done on a co-operative basis,
riowever, at one time. Dr. Rond-
haler’s bald head almost cost
Juniors a point—you guess how-
During the whole game only eight
froee shots were taken, two by the
Juniors, and the remainder by the
opposing team.
The game was thoroughly exciting
all the time with Grace Pollock and
Petree and Biles cutting off and
breaking up steady passes and en
abling our high-scorer Huntington
to “kill the basket.” Holleman can
be given due credit here on her ac
tive playing all over the court—one
minute you saw her, and the next
minute you didn’t! Also considera
tion is given to Leake who played
her part well, and to our own little
Susie who scored several times dur
ing the short time she was in.
Preston was the “chief executive”
on the Sophomore team, although the
guards were the ones wlio placed the
ball in her hands, and lier other for
wards, Carroll, Binder and Tuttle
At the half, the score stood 1
to 4 in Juniors favor, and an excited
rush of onlookers held their breath
to see if the “Canary Bird Sophs’
wouldn’t make a Preston dive into
the center of activity and reverse
The final score amounted to 36 to
20 in favor of the Juniors.
Congratulations!

Traditional Twilight
Vesper Organ Recital
Students and Faculty Hear
Dean Vardell Render Music
Sunday evening at six-thirty
’clock in Memorial Hall, the tra
ditional Y. W. C. A. twilight organ
recital was presented by Dean Var
dell. Mr. Vardell’s program con
sisted of compositions by famous or
ganists of the seventeenth century,
and opened with a “chorale”, by
Bach. One of the numbers was the
composition used during the most
:red part of the Catholic mass cere-
>ny, written by a noted organist
of a catholic cathedral in Rome.
Many students and faculty mem
bers came to enjoy the music of the
twilight service. It is an occasion
looked forward to from year to year
by every Salem girl.
Announcemant of Salem All-
Varsity Climaxes Festivities
The smashing victory last night
was as much excitement as one
ning could bear. That is why the
Athletic Association, departing from
its usual custom of giving a banquet
immediately following a champion
ship game, planned the function for
tonight.
‘Welcome to everyone!” the A. A.
ites the signal to have the best
e that a crowd of fun-loving col
legians can have. Everyone is due
holiday, even banks, and this is the
time for basket ball festivities.
Take a look at this program. If
u do not like it, you will before
u do not like you, you will before
the end of the party.

Holy Land Delineation of Men
Since Modern Christianity

Dr. Edmund Schwarze, pastor i
the Calvary Moravian Church, wi
guest speaker at expanded chapel o
Wednesday, March 8. Dr. Schwarze
recent traveler in the Holy Land
and his Lenten address was made
re interesting and real by the
■id w'ord pictures he gave of that
country.
Schwarze prefaced his talk
with comments upon things for which
nations are known. He described
s handing down a heritage of
philosophy, which represents a desire
know. Italy, with Rome, subdued
and seized the world in war and is
known for her magnificance. Pales-
referred to by the speaker as
being little more than a small speck
of dust in comparison with Rome,
stands for pre-eminence which no
nature can ignore, having a desire to
achieve. Palestine stands for charac
ter, and as a rebuke for those who
ve sinned, this country stands as
e representing a desire for God.
The season of Lent was described
by Dr. Schwarze as a period of rec
onciliation by God who is good and
just and merciful, but who will not
spare the wicked. Palestine stands
as a rebuke to those who are guilty.
“God will not clear the guilty,” and
in contrast John 3:16.
During the modern Lenten season
in old Palestine, on Palm Sunday,
Christ drove over the Mount of
Olives to Jerusalem. There
stones on the path, flowers, children
singing, thorny bushes, from which
later the soldiers made Him a crown
of thorns, fig trees and the big rock
where the Saviour sat and wept ovei
Jerusalem.
At Christ s trial the soldiers play
ed dice continually. Christ was car
ried up the Way of Sorrows and was
crucified on the hill. This greatest
tragedy of humanity brought life and
immortality to life. The sacred
spots in Palestine have been left
they were to point the way to Christ.
On the banks of the Brook Hedron
a godly man established a monastry
for people weary of the world. John
of Damascus brought a boy with him
when he came there to live. This
boy stayed at the monastry thirty-
nine years. He never saw the world,
so he knew it only from the tales of
the travelers. From these tales he
wrote the hymn “Art Thou Weary.”
Today the three great old coun
tries have definite classifications.

Rome the conqueror, Palestine the

Gorham Co. Entertains
College at Charming Tea
Home Economics Students
Assist at Silverware
Display
On Monday afternoon between the
hours of 3:30 and 5:30 the Gorham
Co., of Providence, R. I., with the
co-operation of Miss Leftwich and
the Home Economics students, spon
sored an unusually delightful tea
and silver exhibition in the recrea
tion room of the Louisa Wilson Bit
ting Building. During the afternoon
practically all of the Salem students
and faculty, as well as many inter
ested town people, called to inspect
the display and enjoy the tea, sand
wiches, and nuts, served by the Home
Economics students.
Mr. Edw'ard Talbot, who is mak-
S a personally conducted tour to
my of the larger w-omen’s colleges
the South, explained the origins,
designs, and makes of the various
service and separate pieces,
all of which, he stated, came from
the Gorham Museum in Providence.
One particular service, “The Lights
and Shadows of Manhattan,” is so
named because its creator took his
ispiration from the lights and
shadows of the streets of New York
and the architecture of its buildings.
The skyscraper with its terraced
heights, severe lines, and angular
shadows has thus invaded the dining
room in the field of decorative art.
Another unusual group, a colonial
tea service, designed after a Paul
Revere Museum piece, is beautifully
rproduced in a skilled manner. Had
Paul Revere never made his famous
ride—his memory would still be per-
'petuated in the distinctive pieces -of
silverware which he produced. Had
he never made false teeth for George
Washington and boiler plates for
Fulton’s first steamboat he would
still be famous as a silversmith, for
his works are handed down among
the finest, being highly praised by
museums of art.
An extraordinary piece of work

On-Looker Prophesies
1933 All Salem Varsity
Novice Gives Impressions
Made by Class Sextets
Between “Noobie” Aitchison’s din-
inutiveness and “Lib” Leake’s
height, basket ball has been a howl
of a success this season and furnish
ed plenty of fun.
No wonder the Juniors are good.
To quote from At, “With Leake’s
height, Holleman’s speed and Hunt
ington’s accuracy they could lick all
these three other teams who should
be substitutes on the third team for
the blind.”
Sophomores have brought out ma
terial which has put up a bold fight
an iron front for the opponents.
Cokey’s level headed shots have been
outstanding, while Neal’s perky ways
of landing on the ball from out of
nowhere have aided the Soph zeal-
s to stake big game.
The biggest surprise of the season,
however, was furnished by the
Freshies. They’re a fighting bunch
and what’s more a unit of active co
operation. Next year will bring
forth one high powered interest if
notliing more, and that is the future
Sophomore “all scrapping team.” A
good fight could be furnished anyday
by the two Freshmen teams battling
each other.
SALEMITE STAFFS
PLEASE NOTE
Immediately after the basket ball
banquet there will be an important
meeting of both the editorial and
business staffs of the Salemite in the
Salemite office.
