North Carolina Symphony
Orchestra First Concert
HANS KINDLER
DIRECTS ORCHESTKA
Monday Night Concert Very
Impressive
Mr. Hans Kiudler, conductor of
the National Symphony Orchestra of
Washington, D. C., was the guest con
ductor of the North Carolina Sym
phony Orchestra in its first concert
at Reynolds Memorial Auditorium
lust Monday evening. He is probably
one of the best known eymphony
orchestra conductors in this country.
His impressive stride across the plat
form, his unusual height and strik
ing features make him outstanding
as well as his interesting manner of
speeeli and perfect directing.
For the benefit of those wIm) miss
ed the concert, Monday night—we
are printing a copy of the program
and a part of the score for the first
concert.
The first selection was Richard
Wagner’s “Die Meistersinger Over
ture.” Wagner sketched this opera
“Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg”
in 1845. To the opera-going public
• in general this is the most entertain
ing of all the Wagner operas, being
a satire on the musical methods of
the days of the Eeformation.
Next the orchestra played Franz
Schubert’s Symphony in B minor
(“Unfinished”) Allegro Moderato
and Andante con moto. The well
known and welcomed themes in this
composition were beautifully ex!e-
cuted by the young but skillful or
chestra
After an intermission, the orches
tra played a very modern compo
sitions “Chorale on a Theme by
Hassler” by George Templeton
Strong. Strong, born in 1856, is
still living, a resident in Switzerland.
His works are mainly comprised of
orcliestral and chamber music com
positions. This selection was softly
beautiful. The main body of the
music was carried by the first
violinist, who received a very gen
erous applause.
“Impressions of the Bowery” by
Spier followed the Strong compo
sition. This is a medley of impres
sions, as the name implies, which
left with the audience a most vivid
picture of the jangling nasal quality
of the Bowery. The piece ends with a
bit of Chinese music, very effective
ly-
The last selection on Monday
night’s program was “Les Pre
ludes,” a symphonic poem by Liszt.
The words which give the key to
this exquisite music are found in
this paragraph;
“What is life but a series of pre
ludes to that unknown song whose
initial solemn note is tolled by
death? The enchanted dawn of
every life is love; but where is the
destiny on whose first delicious joys
some storm does not break, a storm
whose deadly blast disperses youth’s
illusions, whose fatal bolt consumes
its telar? And what soul, thus cruel
ly bruised, when the tempest rolls
away, seeks not to rest its memories
attracted him to nature’s lap; but
when the trumpet gives the signal he
hastens to danger’s post, whatever
be the fight which draws him to its
lists, that in the strife he may once
more regain full knowledge of him
self and all his strength.”
According to Mr. Kindler, one
does not have to know about music
to enjoy a symphony concert. Al
though when a person attends his
first symphony concernt he may not
become enthusiastic about the music,
yet there are some attractions, such
as the audience, the antics of the
conductor, the smoothness with which
scores of musicians co-operate in do-

DR. HIHMS SPEAKS
AT EXPANDED CHAPE
Discusses Chauracteristics of
Educated Person
Appropriate Introduction
To everyone who attended Ex
panded Chapel last Wednesday, there
came two inspirations one accom
panying the main address by Dr.
Edwin Minima, the other springing
from Dr. Eondthaler’s introduction
of the speaker.
Dr. Eondthaler told briefly how
that very morning at the breakfast
table three of them, he, Mrs. Rond-
tlialer and Dr. Mimms were thrilled
over a discovery in the diary of the
late Bishop Rondthaler, They were
reading the entry in the diary for
September 19th (several years ago),
as is the custom of many Moravian
families, and found that on that
very day, Bishop Rondthaler had also
enjoyed the co.-t/any of Dr. Mimms.
He (Bishop Rondthaler), had been so
much impressed with the address of
Dr. Mimms that he had recorded
parts of it in his diary, adding that
he would, in the future, take more
notes on things he heard because so
often these meant more to him even
than things lie read.
Dr. Edwin Mimms, Vanderbilt
University, spoke on the character
chapel Wednesday on the character
istic of an educated person. In a well
organized way he explained what the

Miss Carrie Lena McMullen, the
Y. W. C. A. traveling secretary, will

this coming Thursday afternon, Sep
tember 28th. She will have meet
ings with the “Y” Cabinet girls,
and will be glad to have interviews

the work, or those who have some
personal problems to present to her
for her help and guidance.
INNOVATION IN “Y”
TEAS
On Sunday afternon, between the
hours of 4 and 5 o’clock, footsteps
could be heard marching back and
forth intermittently across the
boards of Main Hall back porch, and
up the staircase by Miss Blair’s
office They were the footsteps of
the hungry and thirsty who were
going to be refreshed at the “Y”
tea which was held on the 2nd floor
veranda of Main Hall. Miss Cov
ington offered her newly-decorated
apartment for the occasiou, and all
the guests inspected the tricks and
turns of her cozy place. Everyone
was so delighted with the surround
ings that it was decided to hold the
teas there as long as the weather
permits.
MRS. O’NEAL NEW
“Y” SECRETARY
A very welcome addition to the
Y. W. C. A. Cabinet has been made
in the person of Mrs. Alan O’Neal
of Winston-Salem. Mrs. O’Neal, who
has been very prominent in activities
at the Presbyterian Church, is now a
member of both Salem College and
Academy faculties as well as secre
tary for the Y. W. C. A. Her head
quarters are in the “Y” room on
the second floor of the Alice Clew-
ell Building.
The Senior Class at a meeting held
last Friday (this class can almost
vie with the Juniors for daily meet-
ilngs), elected its class day officers.
The results are as follows:
Cokey Preston, who has already
proved through many lovely poems
her ability in that line, is to be the
class poet.
To Bushy McLean fell the task of
writing the story of the class,
through all its joys and woes. She
will be Historian.
Babbie Way will write the Last
Will and Testament of the class,
bequeathing its possessions to those
whom she thinks most worth of them.
Alary Penn was chosen as the one
most capable of lifting the veil of
the future for her fellow classmates,
Mary’s office is Prophet.
Mr. Buddy Downs, a little man
al)out campus, succumbs to his many
admirers of the Senior Class and ac
cepts position as their ‘ ‘ One ane
Only” mascot. Rachel Carroll un-
selfishingly informed this little per
sonage that he must love all the girls
of the class if he is to be the mas
cot. He answered with the air of a
sultan, “All right, love ’em all—be
mascot. ’ ’
1 know some of the underclasses
envy the seniors their mascot but we
are glad you got him, seniors, before
he changed his mind.
The sound of Buddy’s voice and
the sight of his sturdy legs adds a
great deal of cheer to the campus.

Miss Frivolity Cremated
Seniors Don Long Faces
With Caps and Gowns
On Thursday night, the frivolous
Seniors tossed symbols of their
youthful gaiety into the flames of a
huge bonfire on upper campus and
donned black caps and gowns of dig
nity. From now on, tradition de
crees that they shall wear long faces
and proceed with stately and solemn
mein throughout the year
Marching two by two, the Seniors
came onto the ‘ ‘ place where the old
tennis courts used to be,” and were
received by Frivolity, who sat on her
throne by the bonfire. They sang
to her, and Mary Penn sang to them.
The burden of the song was:
(Tune: Nasty Man)
ITey-Hey” Girls are we
We know Salem from A to Z
Why not join our company;
Iley, hey, can’t you see?
Throw those books away.
Sisters, heed the words we say.
Laugh and talk and eat all day,
Iley, hey, while you may.
We ’re famous for our fun-loving
policy
Let’s kow-tow to our old friend
Frivolity.

A. U. W. INITIAL
MEETING
The A. A. U. W. held its first
meeting of the year last night in the
recreation room of Louisa Bitting
Building at seven-thirty. There was
no speaker for last night’s meeting;
instead a short play was present
ed “Meeting to Music.”
The following invitation was
received by the Latin Club members
and several outside guests and fac
ulty members. Those outside the
final outside line are most envious
of the invited one’s ability to read
the classic language. But we hope
the tea will not be too classically
served for their enjoyment. Will
they have Roman (instead of Rus
sian) tea and tunic fish sandwiches!
The invitation when unrolled
from its tiny scroll reads:

MRS. ALLEN O’NEAL IS
SPEAKER AT Y. W. C. A.
VESPER SERVICE
The Y. W. C. A. Vesper Service
was Sunday evening, September 23rd,
at 6:30 in the campus living room
of Alice Clewell Building. Martha
Binder, our “Y” President, intro
duced the speaker, Mrs. O’Neal, who
is the new Y. W. C. A. Secretary on
Salem College Campus.
The subject of Mrs. O’Neal’s talk
was “Living Creatively.” She told
what were the ideals and purposes
of the “Y,” and outlined a plan
for a Freshman Commission by which
more students will become directly
connected with the organization.
She said that she believes God has a
place for each person, great or
small, in His Plan, and that it is up
to each person’s choosing as to
whether he fits into that plan, or
whether he is a misfit. She quoted
several inspiring poems which con-

Juniors. Within the gay and be
decked night club the milling crowds,
confused with brightly colored bal
loons and slowly falling confetti,
danced to the melodious and sononoug
of the saxaphone, the piano, the
clarinet, the drum. There was na
glare, just the soft lumnosity of in
direct light, glowing on the trans
fusing throngs. At one. end of the
salon was the bar, not a lawyer’s
bar, but one from which a savory and
delicious supper was served to the
blissful guests. The bar glistened
in its red decorations, its wine glass
es and cocktail shakers.
The toastmaster, Dorthea Rights,
tall, straight, and dashing, opened
the evening’s entertainment by:
Good evening friends of the
radio audience. This is Fred Benny
announcing a program, featuring de
lightful dance music played by
Johnny Petticord’s orchestra from
the enchanting roof garden of the
Hotel Hutton overloking the beau
tiful Salem Dell.”
And the wandering singerl She
seemed to float from table to table,
through the shimmering ballons and
fallen confetti, softly singing her
songs. Why of course, that sweet and
winsome voice belonged to Lucy
James. Before wandering around,
the soprano enthralled the radio
audience with her charming voice.
•Slipping between the glimmering
and shining evening gowns were two
pairs of black tights and two white
satin blouses, donning two petite
ones, Delle Heuggins, the brunette,
and Sara Stevens, the blond. They
might have stepped right out of
Paris, these two blithe cigarette
girls, so merry and vivacious were
they.
But hush! The lights were dimmed;
the dancers seem to fade into ob
scurity, at the red-topped tables
around the wall as the radiant spot
light found a subject worth atten
tion. Only onething could be better
than one Mae West, and that would
be six Mae Wests, and here they
were, sauntering into the club in the
path of ulcid light. They glittered
and flashed in their sleek black
dresses and feathered black hats.
With the plumes on the hats and the
resanant tune of “Frankie and
Johnny,” as played by no other
than our tuneful Nancy McNeely,
the audience was awed to speechless
ness as the Maes sang the sad, sad
story. These six figures in black were
Sue Rawlings, Garnelle Raney,
Jean Robinson, Mary Nelson Ander
son, Etta Burt Warren, and Mari
anna Hooks. The bewildered specta
tors regained complete consciousness
only when the buxom six strolled out
on the white path of the spotlight.
Here came the jocular toast
master again, cheerfully announcing
another diversion . , . Again the spot
light flashed on two dancers. One,
the taller and heaftier, was slump
ing around with a horigonally-
striped, turtle-neck sweater stretched
over his massive shoulders and
manly chest above a pair of crease-
less britches. On his lowered head,
he wore a gray and ragged cap,
