MR. SCHOFIELD RECEIVES SINGULAR HONOR
Editor Of Wachovia
Moravian Speaks
At Vespers
Rev. Walser Alien Tells of
“Pilate Before Jesus”
.Sunday Vespers was opened by the
choir singing “The Lord Is In His
Holy Temple”.
Agnes Brown introduced the speak
er, Rer. Walser Allen, pastor of the
Kernersville Moravian Church, and
editor of the Wachovia Moravian.
His topic, very appropriate during
the season of Lent, was “Pilate Be
fore Jesus,” not “Jesus Before Pilate.”
The substance of his speech was as
follows:
Before Jesus was crucified He
given four trials.
First He was taken before the of
ficial body of Jerusalem which con
sisted of the high priests. There He
was condemned to death. Before the
sentence could be carried out, how
ever, it was necessary to have Pontius
Pilate, the head of the Roman Gov
ernment, also condemn Him to death.
Pilate was not as relenting as the
Jews had expected. Pilate and the
Jews hated each other. Before this,
Pilate had sent his army td Jerusalem
bearing banners on which were pic
tures of Julius Caesar. The Jews
believed this to be the making of
images against the will of God.
The High Official wished to set
Jesus free, as he “found no fault
against Him”. The three things that
the Jews accused Jesus of were: stir
ring up a rebellion, renouncing Julius
Caesar, and declaring himself King.
iPilate took Jesus aside and talked
with him. Instead of judging Jesus,
however, Jesus judged and preached
to reach the conscience of Pilate. The
people cried out, “Crucify Him!”
At this time Pilate was not on good
terms with Herod, so he sent Jesus
to him, hoping to patch up the quar
rel. Herod is known not only as the
person who beheaded John the Bap
tist, but as the only person to whom
Christ refused to speak. Herod mock
ed Jesus and sent Him back to Pilate,
who again talked with Jesus. By
this time, the crowd was so stirred up
that Pilate was uneasy. He consented
to whip Jesus. This was done and still
the people clamored, “Crucify Him!”
Finally Pilate was unable to with
stand the demands. He washed his
hands before the mob, saying: “I wash
my hands of his blood. Take Him.”
Rev. Allen’s personal interpretation
of the character of Pilate was present
ed in a light that one does not often
hear and was of especial interest to
the students. He made Pilate stand
out vividly as a human being rather
than as a pale historical figure.

lie Schofield, head of the Voice De
partment of the School of Music.'

rejo-ices in this thoroughly w'orthy
attainment on the part of a member
of its faculty.

ed in 1922 by a small group of repre
sentative and nationally known teach
ers of singing who believed that a
small body of ernest men could ac
complish much for the profession
which was not possible to them as in
dividuals and is in many respects pat
terned after the Academic Francaise
in that its membership is limited to
forty rnen and is by invitation only.
A candidate for admittance must re
ceive the approval and consent of
each member of the American Acad
emy.
It includes among its members such
well-known and outstanding teachers

Spring Concert
Miss Read Directs Program
On Monday night at 8:15 in Mem
orial Hall, the Salem College School of
Music presented one of the important
musical events of the year—the Or
chestra and Ensemble concert directed
by Miss Hazel Horton Read, head of
the string department. The program
was a very interesting and well inter
preted one. It opened with “Concer
to Grosso op. 6 No. XI” (for strings)
by Corelli, a composer and violinist
of the seventh century. The Concerto
consisted of Preludio, Adagio, An
dante largo, Sarabande, and Giga.
Particularly well performed was the
second number, “Symphony No. 35 in
D Major” by Mozart which contained
the four movements Allegro conspir-
ito, Andante, Minuetto, and Finale.
Miss Dorothy Thompson played the
wind parts on the organ, and Miss
Wilda Mae Tingling played the piano
accompaniment.
An unusual feature of the program
was the final number “Andante” (for
violin chorus) by Eichberg, in which
many of Miss Read’s old pupils
played. There were a half a dozen
children and several graduates in the
ensemble. The chorus played from
naemory with Margaret Schwarze and
Albert Blumenthal taking the solo
parts. This number was repeated
■fith of New York; Karleton Hackett,
eminent vocal teacher and critic of
Chicago; Clifford Lott, Los Angeles,
California and John C. Wilcox of
Denver. The late Oscar Saenger w
one of the founders of the Academy.
With Mr. Schofield’s admission, the
Academy now numbers "thirty-three,
the last member admitted some years
ago being Mr. Marshall Bartholomew
of Yale University. Mr. Schofield
the only member located in any of the
southern states.
One of the purposes of the Academy
as set forth in the code of ethics
established by the Academy at its in
ception is that members assume the
obligation to promote the teaching of
singing not primarily as a commercial
project, but as a means of culture.

Junior Lea:gue Hospital for incurables
last Sunday afternoon for an hour.
A program of special music and read

college girls. Those who represented
the social group at this time were:
Frances Adams, Nancy McNeely, Lu-
^ James, Virginia Allen and Sarah
Horton. Frances Adams is chairman
of this committee.

thering knowledge of the voice from
the Carnegie and JuiHiijrd FoundaT

Richard Bonelli Gives
Splendid Recital
Last of Civic Music Concerts
Is Held
Last Thursday evening, Richard
Bonelli, baritone, was presented in
recital by the Civic Music Association.
Mr. Bonelli, because of his beautiful
tone quality and his pleasing stage
personality, was well-received and
greatly enjoyed by his Winston-Salem
audience. His performance was de- ,
cidedly the best of the four presented
by the Association during this season.
Mr. Bonelli interpreted his songs
so well that his audience understood
their meaning although they did not
understand the language. His first
selection was “Aria: Dank sei dir,
(The Children of Israel) by
Handel. This was a powerful piece—
prayer thanking the Lord for safe
deliverance through the Red Sea.
Next was “Aria: Largo al Factotum”
(The Barber of Seville) by Rossini,
this being the world-famous baritone
solo presenting the life and the char
acter of the care-free Figaro.
Mr. Bonelli’s second group consist-
l of:
Es schaukelt ein Kahn ii
Fjorde
Brahms
Mattiessen
Floods of Spring Rachmaninoff
Next on tlie program were solos by
Richard Wilens, accompanist. Mr.

Mr. Schofield is also a descendent
of the British portrait painter Samuel
Sidlay, member of the royal Society
of British Artists and an original as
sociate of the Royal Cambrian Acad
emy. His two famous paintings
“Bishop Colenso” and “Alice in Won
derland” now hang in the National
Portrait Gallery in London.

Industrial Group Meets
AtCityY.W. CA.
Discussions Center Around
College Life
Tuesday night the Salem Industrial
Group met with the members of the
Industrial Club of the city “Y”. The
discussion concerned college and the
things that college gives.
After general introductions, Miss
Myer, the Industrial Secretary, start
ed the discussion by asking one of
the city girls what she thought col-
lege would give her if she were to
attend. She most desired to study
home economics and art. Another
one said that she had always wanted
to study music. All thought that one
of the most important things that
college could give would be friendship
and association with other girls Last
ly the Salem girls were asked to tell
what college had given them and" what
idered the most important
thy
thing in college life. A broad outlook
on lite, association with other people,
learning to be independent, and learn
ing to search out things for one’s
self were mentioned.
The girls attending were: Elizabeth
Jerome, Frances Adams, Lois Tor-
rence, Bonnie Jean Shore, Kathleen
Adkins, India Fulp, and Lib Boles.
This group will meet every Tuesday
night from seven to eight. New mem
bers are invited to join.
