Grace Parker, one of our star bas

school Sunday night after spending
a very peaceful (??), and quiet(!!),
week at home in Murphy, K". C.
Can you beat this onef It’s the
latest campus gos.sip and it’s caus
ing quite a stir! Little Mary Wood
ruff it seems—has beaten Jane Wil
liams time with .John “Buddy”
Downs. You’d better get busy, Jane
—Mary’s a-fast worker.
Pauline Daniels had quite a long
vacation at home this past week-end.
However, she didn’t get to play
around in Mocksville this time be
cause of her foot. Isn’t it a
meanie!

GOSSIPY SENIOR
GOSSIP
By this time everyone in Salem
must have noticed that tall, dark and
handsome chaj) from Florida who
ventured forth to escort our charm
ing Senior — one called Pat. By
tlie way Pat what was that song that
Mrs. Ogburn’s little son, Tommy,
sang everytime a certain other chap
danced by?
Poor Babbie! Even in her sleep
she goe.s about testing — this time
it was a perfectly good tooth — one
half of which is hidden in some
crevice or another. Her only lament
is that she cannot make a cross
section of the lost tooth! After all.
Babbie, you have 30 more teeth to
test.
The Junior - Senior surely did
arouse much excitement about the
campus, Fanny Hill had palpitation
of the heart when she saw her cor
sage — but then^_who wouldn’t?
Mary Penn resembled a myth in
her billowing dre.ss. Jane and Ann
Taylor modeled the latest in spring
prints, whereas Cokey sported a
darling dress of a solid shade.

Friday night Helen Smith, Lou
Preas, Ann Busick and Mildred
Troxler played bridge out at Mrs.
Ralph Carmicael’s home. Lou cap
tured high score — She’s certainly
a bridge shark!
Due to a mistake in copying, Josie
Chase has been seen in the company
of John Francis. Ask her to imitate
Jack’s walk.
Some think that Virginia Lee is
becoming too completely attached to
the Rosetta Stone just outside the
TTistory room. But don’t let that
bother you, Virginia — even Romeo
and .Tuliet .had a meeting place.
Jo Gibson, Louise and “Briggsie”
spent Saturday afternoon in High
Point.
Salem Academy is an alive iuati
tution in spite of the fact that it is
older than Salem College. It’s stu
dents are interested in everything
that we do here at the college. They
attend the plays given by the Pier
rettes; they came to our fashion
shows, and they show how helpful
they can be. Do we college girls
patronize their money making plans?
They have an annual to get out.
They have class entertainments to
give. They have a dramatic club.
They present all kinds of entertain
ments. Can’t we help them by show
ing a little more interest in their
projects? Besides being merely en
tertained at Salem Academy, we
will find a royal reception always
awaiting us.
Then too, how. many of us have
ever visited the Adademy. Very
few I wager. Go over and acquaint
yourself with the beautiful build
ings and their cordial inmates.

Duke:
Bull Durham’s Ghost says he
thinks the U. S. should go on the
gold standard, so that we college
students wouldn’t have such a sour
time abroad. But far be it from
him—to argue with the beards of
the Supreme Ctourt.
’Tis said that the Seta’s have
Fanny Scales which is one weigh of
saying it.
Duke musicians made merry on tour
of Carolinas:
Played to full house at Greens
boro College.
At Rock Hill members were pro
vided with attractive “Spon-
.sors” and cars, and were enter
tained at a private residence.
From Rock Hill to Charlotte
with 2 members missing, but the
“Queen’s concert” was befud
dled with two “dummies,” who
tooted noiselessly on a sax and
trumpet, respectively. The real
Marianna Castle toured over to
North Wilkesboro for the week-end
now what could it have been that
sot our own marianna to traveling.
Mary Woodruff, prom trotter, was
at Duke this week-end. Honestly—
Mary, do you know what it’s like to
spend a week-end at home?
Martha O’Keefe and Katherine
May went riding Sunday afternoon,
with friends from Salisbury, N. C.
Prances Alexander took Laura
Emily, Idaliza, “Briggsie,” and
Lelia riding Sunday. Edith Sap-
penfield and Jane Boren wore out
Jiaving fun Sunday too.
“Coco,” Eleanor, Helen Hodges,
and Virginia Lee were “out” Sun
day just playing around.
Why did Jane go to Greensboro
Saturday afternoon? Surely not to
chaperon our petite Senior—but then
that is her story.
Many of the girls are indebted to
Mr. McEwen for meeting the right
men at the dance. Can it be that, at
heart, Mr. Xoble is a match maker.
Martlia Neal went out to dinner
Sunday with Mr. Prevost while Ann
Taylor went out to dine with Martha
Neal’s handsome brother.
Ann Vann went to .^pend Sunday
with her sister in Greensboro.
SALEM THREE YEARS

MISS ELIZABETH LILLY
TALKS OF LITEEATUEE
Last Sunday night. Miss Eliza
beth Lilly once again delighted
and insjiired her vesi>er audience
with her talk about books. Miss
Lilly’s deep love and understand
ing of books enabled her to
awaken in her li.steners a real
appreciation of their value.
MR. LENNOX ROBINSON
SPEAKS AT SALEM
Salem College was greatly hon
ored last night by the presence of
Mr. S. Lennox Robinson, the
greatest of the younger Irish
dramatists. Mr. Robinson spoke
concerning the work and the pur
pose of the Irish Theatre move-
kient. As manager and director
'of the Abbey Players, he is tour
ing America for the first time
since the season of 1913-1914.
JAZZ IS FEATURE OF
MUSIC HOUR
At Music Hour on Thur.sday
Dean Vardell gave an address on
jazz, outlining its history "and il
lustrating iu various piano se
lections, each step of its develop
ment. In conclusion, Mr. Var
dell played Mozart’s “Libretto,”
pointing out to an ajjpreciative
audience the sharp contrast be
tween this essentially simple, yet
jierfectly formed composition, and
modern jazz.

Last Saturday night a week ago
we .saw, among other people, Anna
Withers, Rebecca Hines, Phyllis
Clapp, and Betty Wilson at the
dance for the Duke boys at the Rob

reputedly heartbroken that she could
not have Duke up last week-end.

Bare Back Rider, wonderful as she
was, would have created an even
greater sensation had the title ap
plied to her instead of to her steed.
The vast public was then moved to
pity by the morbid corpulency of
Miss J. Obese Chase.
Miss Martha Neal toasted the
Lions, who did not seem to object at
all. But lions are tough as well as
courageous! Mis.s Margaret Ward
gave a toast to that greatest of an
imal trainers. Miss “At” who
greatly appreciates tlie veracity of
such an appelation. Dr. Eondthaler,
after having skillfully thwarted the
king of Lions for several minutes,
relinquished with grace the hard won
loving cup. The cheers and huzzas
of the vast populace filled the air.
We hear Ina Wagoner’s ball-player
came to see her last week-end.

On Sunday night, March 3, Miss
Carrie Lee Weaver spoke at the
Academy Vespers on “Adventure in
Common Things.” Miss Weaver de
fined an adventure as “any experi
ence from which one gets an ex
travagant thrill,” and pointed out
three ways in which we may get the
thrill of adventure from the experi
ences of everyday life. One way of
adventure was in the discovery of
people—people whom we see every
day, often, but whom we do not real
ly know. A second adventurous ex
perience which was mentioned was
discovering one’s self, ones real and
better self, for the first time. The
third thrilling experience which
Miss Weaver mentioned was the dis
covery of God in new and unexpect
ed places, such as the athletic field,
the dance floor, or the school room.
Life yields these adventures, said
musicians came in time for the Weaver, in proportion to the
program. degree with which one throws her-
(CONTINUED FROM PACE TWO) self into life as an adventure.
Miss Anne Lindsay Vaughn wish
es to notify friends and relatives
that she i.s out of the in-actice house.
Why does Katherine Sissell like
Presbyterian ministers?
The Junior-Senior cau.sed quite a
furor Saturday night among the
boys. Incidentally, we wonder how
“Ed” managed to get here Thurs
day night instead of Saturday. Ask
Ruth Norman, you saw them at the
basketball game Thursday night. Al
so, we wonder why Betty Wilson
does not want to bring her one and
only down to Salem. Helen Davis
and Gene Pratt were observed Sat
urday night and someone said
“Dutchy” came to see Inez Temple-
men. Annie Vaughn said she was
taking her brother Saturday night—
but we just laughed and laughed be
cause we knew her last name was
Vaughn and his was Speight.

seats 3,500. It has been estimated
that 2,500 people attended the con
cert.
The Vardells drove up to the Hall
behind the AVhite House automo
bile out of which stepped Mrs. Del
ano Roosevelt. They had the dis
tinction of occupying a box opposite
hers at the concert.
The program as it was presented
follows:
“Chanticleer” Overture
Daniel Gregory Mason
Symphony No. 2 .. Randall Thompson
Intermission
Charole for Strings .... Roy Harris
“Joe Clark Steps Out”
Charles G. Vardell
“The Chambered Nautilus”
Deems Taylor
Washington Choral Society, Louis
Potter, Director.
Dean Vardell said that he was
very well pleased with Mr. Kindler’s
interpretation of “Joe Clark Steps
Out.” He listened to its rendition
with “mingled emotions” and then
shared with Mr. Kindler the tre
mendous and enthusiastic applause
of the audience.
After the concert the composers
were invited to a party given for
them on F Street. There they met
many interesting and distinguished
people. The Vardells concluded their
day in Washington by seeing
“David Copperfield.”
Salem students who have heard
Mr. \ardell’s composition which was
given “ world premier” by the Na
tional Symphony Orchestra will be
interested in reading the compli
mentary remarks which music critics
made. Dr. Kurt Hetzel, music critic
of the Re'rald said “ ‘Joe Clark
Steps Out,’ by Vardell, found the
warmest reception by the audience.
It is unpretentious, full of good
ideas, and appeals tlirough strict
and familar rhythms.” The Wash
ington Times said: “Probably the
most popular work with the audience
was ‘Joe Clark Steps Out,’ by Var
dell. The rollicking rhythm based
on the old song, ‘Joe Clark,’ itself a
dance tune, made an attractive light
number. ’ ’
The Evening Star wrote: “In a
still lighter vein was Charles Var
dell’s orchestral development of the
old song, ‘Joe Clark Steps Out,’ one
of the most delightful numbers
heard in sometime and an illustra
tion of skillful harmonization of a
simple tune.” Finally, the Wash
ington T’ost, one of the most con
servative of the big eastern dailies,
carried the following comment under
the Music Critic Ray C. B. Brown’s
column “Postlude;” “Mr. Vardell’s
dressing-up of the Aemrican folk
tune, ‘Old Joe Clark’ is clever and
entertaining. The scoring is con
sistently neat and effective and the
humor is without exaggeration. One
compliments the composer upon the
skill with which he has made cad-
