Mgr Mary Ruth Elliot A FISH STORY Oil Tuesday, September 25, the Salemite received a copy of a report issued from Morehead City to the effect that there would be practically no fishing around Cape Lookout due to the fact that Dr. II. B. Rondthaler of Wiuaton-Salem had depleted the stock on Monday, September 24. When interviewed, Dr. Eondthaler stated simply that he had been a a member of a party aboard “The Pal” under the direction of Captain Bennett, and added modestly as a Neophyte hoping for instruction, he had caught “the largest number of fish, the largest fish, and the largest variety of fish—to the great dis comfort of others.” Dr. Rondthaler declined to state the size of either the largest or smallest fish he caught, but the fact has been ascertained that enough fish arrived next day by express to feed the neighborhood, Salem Academy, and eighteen stu dent guests at the Eondthaler home. In answer to the accusation that the shipment received here was pur chased at the open market in Morq- head City, Dr. Rondthaler is pre pared to exhibit motion pictures taken of him while he was making his phenomenal catch. He stated that he has been asked not to return until next year so as to give other parties a chance during mackeral season. To quote Dr. Rondthaler’s exact words: “It is supposed fish as a food creates brains! it is cer tain that brains are required to catch fish. ’ ’ In this connection, Mr. Roy Camp bell, hitherto champion faculty fish erman, desires to remind the school through the Salemite that he caught a fish weighing 70 pounds this sum mer. This latter advertisement of Professor Campbell is inserted with out cost, through the courtesy of Dr. Rondthaler. FRESHMEN INSTALLED SELF-GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) briefly on the honor system and Salem student government. She read the pledge to be taken, asking every student who would be on her hono-r to do the sportsmanlike thing in the classroom, athletic field, and in per sonal actions, to sign her name to the pledge . As Rebecca Hines played the piano softly, each girl read and signed the pledge. Anne Taylor and Virginia Garner, two council members, pre sided at the writing tables. SENIOR FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Salem football fans Carolina and Greensboro bound. The cream of the Senior crop, resplendent in choco late brow’ns, rusts, and deep-sea greens, braved a sweltering and un flinching sun to see the games Sat urday afternoon and night. The skimmed milk, meaning me, spent the day in bed. If you’ll overlook my tendency to stick in the personal touch I’d be grateful, but I’m on a gripe and have to humor myself a little. Well, to get back to the Elite, Pat Padrick’s smooth chevy carried Betty Tuttle, Rachel Carroll, Mar garet Ward, and Jane Williams (the last two amply supplied with Kleen ex and sniffles), to the Carolina stadium, and, afterwards to the Phi Gam House for dinner. Cokey Pres ton beamed forth that afternoon in a smart carioca creation purchased on the spur of the fifth moment be fore her departure. Tragedy has come into the life of Martha Neale. She spent the week end i na prolonged and tearful fare well with he aviator who has spread wings and flown away. Anne Taylor and Rachel Carroll, with men at each elbow, threw down Moore food all day Sunday, (please overlook odius pun). Martha Binder wended her way to ward the hills of home on Saturday to see Buck Jones in “The Call of the 'Coyote.” What with “Y” teas and scavanger hunts and numerous guests, she reserves to beat a quiet retreat. Josie Chase and those surprised eye brows of hers boarded the bus for home. Rumor has it that Josie is becoming matrimonially inclined of late. Also, there’s a Mr. Curlee (not our specimen), who has attracted Dot Moore down Thomasville way every week-end this fall. What’s the use of my writing all this tripe about the Seniors? You women know' too much anyhow. Of course, there’s some really spicy news, but you have to cross my palm with silver for that. SOPHOMORES, JUNIORS DEBUTANTS AND OTHERS Salem has yet to go a year with out her seasons’ debutants at the annual ball in Raleigh. Mavis Bul lock, Titter Daniel, Cornelia Maslin, all three Sophomores, and Etta Burt Warren, a Junior, carried Salem’s colors down the steps Friday night before the social eyes of North Caro lina—(I hear that not one of the four stumbled or tripped over their trains.) Greensboro ivas the most popular haven for Salem girls this first week end and here I have found the list of our State and Davidson supporters —Virginia Gaddey, Lib Rankin, Nanny Miller, Jane Crow ,Frances Salley, Faye Little, Mary Louise Haywood, Boots Norman, Nancy McNeely, and Jean Robinson, Jo. Whitehead, Ethel Highsmith, Lou Freeman, Margaret Calder, and Marianna Bedding attended the game and spent the other half of their w'eek-end in Ashboro. Mar garet Sears, Garnell Rainey ,Martha Nolen and Tick Fra!ley visited High Point, while Wilda May went home to see Harold and to talk over to day’s music situation. Pat came! —and has Helen been having fun— well what would you answer? LOST AND FOUND LOST—Green leather pouch compact with green enamel top. FOUND—Brown enamel compact with figure of a girl on top. FOUND—Metal ring with three pegs on it. To recover or to turn in any of the above articles, go to Miss Law rence ’s Office. Whenever you lose any thing please report your loss to Miss Lawrence and if you find any thing pleas^ take it to Miss Law rence’s Office where the owner may call for it. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Name: Ann Perkins. Occupation: Leader of Frivolity. Address: AVinston-Salem, N. C. Judge: Ruth Norman. Disposition: Told the witnesses why they thought they were worthy of being chosen to be judged by the Sophomore Court. “CHESSTY” FASHION THIS SEASON Chess players among American col leges are now co-operating with the Intercollegiate Chess Association of America as unit clubs. Active and honorary players among both stu dents and faculty comprise the roster of membership. If you are not a mem ber of the I. C. A., then write di rect to the national office at 202 Arky Building, Meridan, Mississippi for official details for immediate affiliation for yourself or your Chess playing group. Enclose a self-ad dressed stamped envelope for an im mediate reply. The Intercollegiate Chess Associa tion (Co-Ed), was first launched from Duke University and the Uni versity of North Carolina in 1934. It enjoys many educational contacts, and co-operates officially with the “Phi Beta Kappa” Chess honor so ciety, CHI ETA SIGMA, which is composed of great players, writers, and patrons of Chess not only in America but in Europe and many foreign countries. I. C. A. also has direct contacts with the American Social Chess Academy for the ad vancement of the Art and Science of Chess and Social Chess Education. Since January, 1933, “The Chess Player,” a monthly news Chess pa per, has carried exclusive chess games, news items of college and national interest. It has been called the most scholarly Chess journal in America and some six national Chess institutions look to it for official announcements. Chess is now a fad in Hollywood; it is an obligatory subject in all soviet schools and it is even taught in the public schools of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Chess clubs are becoming very pop ular in American colleges and the United State has twice won the In ternational Chess Team Champion ship of the world. ACADEMY FACULTY ENTERTAIN AT RECEPTION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Helen Vogler. On the terrace the guests were served punch by Miss Virginia Wil son assisted by members of the senior class. They were Misses Helen Gilmer Dickson, Ruth Greene, Ethel Litz, Jane Irving, Shirley Tompkins, Ethel Young, Mary Char lotte Yount, Lady Kate Allen, Mar garet Hannah Critchen, Patsy Hill, Josephine Litz, and Florence Pear sall. Guests for the evening were mem bers of the Salem College and Acad emy faculty, members of the board of trustees, Mrs. Harry B. Grimsley, Miss Adelaide Fries, Rev. R. Gordon Spaugh, and Rev. Arnin Frankie. Last Sunday afternoon the new members of the Academy Faculty were honored by the students at a tea. FRESHMEN GOSSIP Some of the Freshmen are making a bad beginning—Lela Williams and Idaliza Dunn attended the Davidson and State game at Greensboro, Satur day night. They came straggling home at 2:30, Sunday morning, say ing they missed their bus—but we have our doubts. Virginia Lee seems to be making “a lot of time” with the co-eds these days. We wish you luck, Virginia. Ask Laura Emily Pitts if the doesn’t like those telegrams that whisper sweet nothings and see if she will blush. Mildred Carte’s 70 year-old grand mother was a participant in the horse show at Martinsville, Va.—what’s this older generation coming to? Wouldn’t we all like to get a 7- page “special” on Sunday morning? One Freshman rated this honor. She is a’blond and her last name is York. Have you guessed her? “Coco” Ilednerson is better known around the campus as “Miss Popularity.” Why? It’s a long story. Is it true that Mary Jackson trasnferred her Mother’s “pantry” ot Salem over the week-end? MISS READ GIVES ILLUSTRATED TALK AT ACADEMY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the viola, is much larger and is held between the knees bringing it in reverse position to that of the violin. It supplies the bass part of the strings and has a full rich tone and a remarkable range. The bass viol or contra bass, or double bass carries the very lowest parts, usually an octave below the cello. The player stands while play ing and the instrument is so big that it rests on the floor and is taller than the average man. The usual double bass has 4 strings as have these other stringed instruments, though they are some times made with five or with only three. The Harp has 47 strings which are tuned to correspond to the white keys of the piano. By the use of seven foot pedals each string can be raised in pitch one or two semi tones, thus making it possible to play in all keys. The group of Wood-Wind and Reed instruments includes the Flute and Piccolo, Oboe, English Horn, Clarinet and Bassoon. The Flute and Piccolo are the only Wood-W'ind instruments played without a reed. The player blows across a hole in the side of the instru ment and difference of pitch are ob tained by opening and closing the finger holes and keys. The flute may be made of wood but metal is now more common. It is held to the right of the player and is bird like in tone quality. The Piccolo is less than half the size of the Flute, its technic is the same but its range is more than an octave higher. The tone is shrill and piercing and is sel dom used except for unusual effects. The Oboe is a reed instrument of conical shape with a slightly flaring bell end. It has a double reed, two blades of thin cane, through which the player blows into the instrument. It is held in front of him. Pitch is controlled by finger holes and keys. It is from this instrument that all others of the orchestra are tuned. Its lowest tones are loud and stri dent though its middle register has much charm and flexibility. It is considered the most assertive of the Wood-Winds because of its cutting tonal quality. The name English Horn is mis leading because it is not a horn, but merely an enlarged or Alto Oboe, fingered and blown as is an Oboe. Its tonal quality lacks the gayety and sprightliness of the Oboe but is nobler and richer. It blends more easily with the other wood-winds. It is larger than the Oboe and has a rounded globular end. Unlike the other wood-winds, the clarinet is played with a mouthpiece to which is bound a flat reed of cane. It is held in front of the player and is made of wood or metal. Because of its large range, variety of tone color and ease of execution it is conceded to be the most useful of the wood wind instruments. The range covers four registers w’hich can be blended without break by a skilled player. The lowest ones are ominous in sound, the second registers dull, the third register has a peculiar limpid beau ty while the highest is brilliant though difficult to subdue and is used mainly in loud passages. There is also a Bass Clarinet which differs considerably in appearance, having a crooked mouthpiece and a horn-shaped end. It has neither the liquid quality in the medium nor the menacing quality in the law register but its rich organ-like tones form an excellent bass for the Wood-Wind section The Basson is a tube-like instru ment about five feet in length with a curved mouthpiece attached about one third of the way down. Its tone has an agreeable dryness which is unique and often irresistably comic and because of it the Bassoon is oft en called the clown of the orchestra. The high notes are of singularly appealing beauty and are called “Vox Humana” tones. The group of Brass Instruments includes the French Horn, Trumpet and Cornet, Trombone and Tuba. The French Horn is a tube of coiled brass. It has a valve mech anism which enables the player to produce all chromatic within its range of three and one-half octaves.

VARIED PROGRAM IN EXPANDED CHAPEL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Senior dJlass; the west, by the Junior Class; the east, by the Sophomore Class; the great green Square, by the Freshmen. On the north side are the museum and the Administration Building. The former was a school for boys and at one time was visited by George Washington. In it there are now relics of the musical, social, intellectual, and commercial interests of long ago.. Salem College Office is now located in the Administration Building. The Widow’s House on the west, built in 1768-69, at one time housed seventeen varieties of craftsmanship. After the masters and the apprentices Ijegan building separate houses, the house became the Widow’s House. Twice the North Carolina T.egislature met within its stately walls. Next to the Widow’s House is the Old Store, once the cen ter of a great pioneer civilization. On the east stands one of the most beloved buildings in the South — Salem College which was formerly Salem Female Academy. The Old Church, built in 1799, was recently ranked among the fifteen most fam ous churches of America. Its bell, over a hundred and thirty years old, still sounds the silvery tones caused by the pieces of silver dropped into the bell by each male of the village. At this point the speaker was forced to conclude his speech with the statement that, after all, it is the background of life that gives to it the fullnes^ and richness and in finite variety. Friendship is the highest degree of perfection in society. Montaigne. Brutality to an animal is cruelty to mankind—it is only the difference in the victim. —Lamartine.
