THREE NEW PRESIDENTS FOR 1934.-1935
S. I. A. s. G. Convenes
In Knoxville
Salem Well Represented at
Meeting

nesste at Knoxville, April 5 tnrougli
V. i>n Thursday morning, April d,
the girls arrived at Henson Hall
where they were marked with yellow
nhoons. These ribbons acted as pass
es into everything—cafeteria, shows—
and even seemta to say tor the girl,
“I'm a delegate. Be nice to me,” be
cause everyone was as cordial as he
At eleven that same morning the
representatives, who numbered around
seventy, met in the electrical engin
eering building, Ferris Hall, where
they were welcomed by the presi
dent and the deans of men and wom
en. From then on there was a series
of lectures, discussions, and business
meetings which used up most of the
time. The vice-preident was fortun
ate in securing such excellent speakers
as Dean Ruth Noer of the University
of West Virginia, Dr. Reeves, Dr.
Clifford Barbour, and Dr. Julianna
Haskell, advisor to graduate women
at Columbia.
The delegates were royally enter
tained socially. A private luncheon
was given the first day. Thursday
night a formal banquet was held. Fri
day evening the University men
chanced their luck with taking the
delegates to a tea dance In the gym
nasium. In nearly every meeting the
proud Tennesseeites mentioned the
huge project Roosevelt has begun in
Tennessee. Therefore, of course, no
one could leave Knoxville without
having seen the huge dam which is
to revolutionize the farming and in
dustry of the Tennessee valley and
indeed the whole country. Saturday
afternoon a trip was arranged to the
dam and to the ideal town of Norris.
Neither project was very far along,
but the guide stated optimistically
that they hoped to have it finished
by the first of January, 1936.
Besides having the entertaining
done by the University, the Salem del
egates entertained themselves. Thanks
to Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler, the girls
had the use of a car at their disposal
and they made good use of it. They
toured Knoxville all the way from
the beautiful residential section to
the center of the business district.
Of course, the days were not spent
entirely in having a good time. There
were excellent discussions on the hon
or system, on faculty and student re
lations, and on freshman orientation.
Valuable suggestions and ideas were
gathered which convinced everyone
that each year tends to better student
government.
Next year S. I. A. S. G. will hold
its twentieth session at Florida State
College for Womein at Tallahi^sse,
Florida.

New Opera Expected
Wednesday Night
“Ring of the Need-a-Lungs”
Startles Musical World
Startles Is Right
“The Ring of The Need-a-Lungs”
which will be presented by the Junior
Opera company (Junior Class, to you)
on Wednesday night, April 18th, at
9:00 o’clock in Memorial Hall, is des
tined to become one of the most fam
ous operas of all musical history.
This piece of pure culture will startle
the Salem College school of mus
ic with its unique tonal and off tonal
effects. It will amaze the Home Ec
onomics department with its daring
display and non-display of costumes,
most of which are being made by the
non Home Ecish Junior Class. It
will embarrass the A. B. department
(Dr. Willoughby to be exact) with its
happy disregard of all the dramatic
unities, and its disrespect of the Eng
lish language. It will thrill the
:rown-ups and children of Winston-
lalem with its romance and humor
and mystery. Note—personal to all
radio listeners. If you want a pre
glimpse into the romance, and humor,
and mystery, just tune in on WSJS
on Friday night at 6:45, and Tuesday
night between 7:00 and 7:45, and you
will here skits from the opera itself,
rendered by the original cast.)
One of the most outstanding fea
tures of this new opera is the mar
vellous cast of characters which will
introduce it to the public for the first
time . In this original cast you will
see, but probably not recognize, the
newly elected President of Salem’s
Student Government, striding about
and bellowing as the hero of the
opera. The silver-voiced and feminine
President of this year’s Pierretties
sings the soprano solos of the heroine.
Mrs. Gorringe, perhaps better known
as Peg o’ My Heart, will play one of
the leading roles. The tiny athlete
and the new Miss I. R. S. also have
prominent parts. And in case the
audience tires of too much singing,
the cast will include the most out
standing monotone on the campus,
whose, operatic work is really marv
ellous, considering she doesn't sing a
There is nothing which can be said
that will praise “The Ring of the
Need-a-Lungs” too highly. It is an
original piece of devilment, having
been concocted in the minds of two
members of the Junior class, who will
be glad to take all the blame for their
masterpiece after the final curtain on
Wednesday night, but will positively
not refund any money.
Due to present pitiful pncki-tbook
circumstances, the price of admission
will be no more than twenty-five (25)
worthy cents for worthy adults and
faculty members, and fifteen dirty
little pennies for dirty little students
and other children.
Remember, don’t forget, and keep
in your already crammed minds, the
Juniors want a date with every stu
dent and faculty member, townsman,
—woman, and —child, Academyite,
boy and girl friend, and kindred of all
the aforesaid, on the night of Wed
nesday, April 18, at 9:00 o’clock in
Memorial Hall, to see “The Ring of
the Need-a-Lungs”. You bring the
price of admission.

Plans For May Day
Are Completed
Queen and Court Again
Announced
Three weeks from Saturday on May
5, Salem will hold its annual May Day
celebration which includes the house-
party for prospective students. The
I. R. S. council has been hard at work
on plans for the entertainment of the
guests whose invitations have already
been sent. College girls who are help
ing entertain the visitors are request
ed not to allow the girls to go to the
Green Room and not to ask permis
sion to take the girls to town. The
purpose of the house-party is to show
off Salem—at its best. Visitors will
have an opportunity to see Winston
when the 1. R. S. takes them on the
customary tour.
As far as the actual May Day per
formance is concerned, plans are prac
tically complete. Through the coop
eration of the students flag-stone
steps have been set on lower campus
for the use of the queen and her
court. They are very much in keep
ing with the rest of the amphitheatre.
The pageant, written by Cokey
Preston, Virginia Garner, Mary Penn,
and Susan Calder, is complete, the
cast chosen and practice jjegun. There
seems to be some talk around the
campus of Mark Anthony and Ma
hatma Ghandi and*about that time
someone mentions Tin iPan Alley and
Madame Queen.
The dances are arranged and cos
tumed by Mrs. Gloria Crouse. Dean
Vardell is assisting with the music.
The publicity committee succeeded
I getting the NEA interested in the
picture of the queen. Miss Mildred
Hanes, so she will be seen in the
leading papers of the country.
Providing it does not rain, and it
will not, on May 5, a large crowd will
see Miss Hanes crowned queen, at
tended by . Miss Grace Pollock, as
maid of honor and a court which in
cludes Miss Beverly Little, Anson-
