SALEM PARTICIPATES
IN COMMUNITY
CHEST DRIVE
Benefits Are For iThe
Undernourished School
Children
Students of Salem College have
had the privilege and oi>portunity
to participate in Winstou-Salem’s
1935 campaign for the Community
Chest which was launched Thursday
inorning, March 7. The campaign,
in general, is in behalf of local re
lief and city welfare; the contribu
tions of Salem students, which Dr.
Rondthaler rejwrted as being very
generous and encouraging, are to be
used for the benefit of undernour
ished school children. Not only
students of Salem but faculty, super-
intendants, and servants, have all
participated in the campaign through
their voluntary contributions. The
response at Salem, was on the whole,
very gratifying.
The goal for the drive is $137,-
500. Mr. Agnew II. Bahnson is
Chairman of the Community Chest
Commission and Mr. Paul A. Ben
nett is vice-chairman and director
of the drive.

HAMPTON QUARTET
PRESENTED IN SALEM
ACADfflY CHAPEL
Bass A Member of Quartet
For 48 Years
DR. RONDTHALER HONORED
BY UNIVERSITY OF N. C.
The students and faculty of the
Salem Academy and friends from
the college and the city were much
thrilled by the program presented by
the Hampton Quartet, Monday morn
ing at 10:30. The four singers had
beautiful voices and presented
characteristic Southern negro folk
songs—among them “Swing I;Ow,
Sweet Chariot,” “Let My People
Go,” “A Wheel Within a Wheel,”
and “Adam Didn’t Have Xo Mam
my.” The bass singer has been a
member of the |uartct for 48 years,
and received applause for his long
membership.
Between selections, the exhibit of
negro paintings was explained by
the artist, Mr. Cooper, of Char
lotte, JSI. C. Two of those ))ortraits
have won the State prize in preced
ing years. The first depicted a
typical bootblack boy, the second, a
wash woman, and so on, until the
last was a picture of a highly
esteemed educator, “one of the most
celebrated men of our race,” said
the artist.
At the close of the concert’ the
audience w’as still un.‘satisfied and
clap]>ed loudly for more songs, but
as the quartet is on a very compli
cated and extended tour of colleges,
the singers could not re-appear. If
anyone has a chance to hear these
singers, he should certainly count it
a privilege and be sure not to miss
them.
NEW SYSTEM IN GER
MAN UNIVERSITIES
Nazis Let Traditions Go
Glancing through the Alarch 10th
edition of the “Journal and Sen
tinel,” I noticed an article on the
Gorman Universities under Nazi
rule, and as most of us are inter
ested in universities (or at least in
one important element of them), it
appeared that it might bo interest
ing to know how the Nazi section
of the university world live.
The article stated' that ‘ ‘recent
Nazi decrees sweeping aside century
old traditions of German Academic
life, have modified the standing of
univer.sities and university teachers
beyond recognition.”
(CONTINUED ON PACE FOUR)
Chapel Hill
In the Daily Tar Heel dated March
10th there is a long interesting col
umn written about Dr. Eondthaler.
He has been voted University Alum
ni Association Head for 1935, as we
know, but I really think you should
read the article yourself Salemites
so that you can see for yourself what
other admirers say about your won
derful president.
MOTHER GOOSE THEME
CARRIED OUT AT BAN
QUET FOR PROCTORS
The Student Council entertained
all of its proctors, those that have
been and those that are,at a delight
fully naive dinner at six o’clock
Tliursday evening. The party was
held i)\\ the Little Dining Eoom,
which had been converted into a
veritable Nursery Land with all of
the little pigs, Bed Eiding Hood,
the wolf and other Mother Goose
friends decorating the tables.
During the evening the entertain
ment further carried out the nursery
rhyme theme. Bushie McLean read
a clever modern version of Little
Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad
Wolfe, and Rebecca Hines sang fit
ting songs accompanied by Dorothy
Thompson at the piano. Then every
one joined in guessing nursery
rhymes and it was decided that Jo
Whitehead and Gertie Schwalbe
were the least .educated children
present.

Cinderella Story Retold;
She Gets Clothes
Instead of
Prince
The Senior Class of Salem Acad
emy sponsored a fashion show Fri
day night at the Academy. New
spring clothes from Sosniks, D. G.
Craven, and the Ideal were shown.
As 11 background for the show.
Lady Kate Allen and Lucy Gray
Smither gave a little playlet in
which a peasant girl was instructed
by her fairy godmother as to the
different ty))es of clothes she should
w'ear. (We hope the peasant got the
dresses after the demonstration).
First came school dresses, then
i-hurch dresses, late afternoon, and
evening dresses. As a climax there
was a beautiful wedding dross. Lady
Kate was the godmother; Lucy Gray
l)layed the ]>art of tlio peasant girl.
The godmother was assisted by
the following models: Helen Gil
more Dickson, Patsy Hill, Jane
Irving, :.Mary Louise McLendon,
Ellen Moore, Jeaji Gray Scott,
Shirley Toni])kins, Dorothy Wyatt,
Kthel Young. Margaret Hanner
Critcher furnished music.
MISS STOCKTON TO PRO
DUCE INTERESTING SHOW
Campus Talent Shows In
Annual Entertainment
iliss ‘*Flo” Ziegfield Stockton
announces an ai)proaching event
which will bring much delight to
the hearts and applause to the hands
of Salem show-goers. On Friday
night, Alarch 22nd, Director Stock
ton and ComiMiny will j>resent “Fol
lies Negres,” which bids fair to be
the most popular production of the
campus theatrical season.
With the help of such talented
stars as Conrad, Mary, “Hally,”
Russell and his little girl, and the
Laundry women, Miss Stockton
promises to put on a performance
even greater than last year’s show,
which met with such tremendous
success.
None of us who so enthusiastically
encored the attractive songs, dances
and comedy numbers of last spring’s
production, are planning to miss the
approaching sequel.
If you want to see, hear, and
applaud Salem campus talent which
makes even the famous Stepin
Fetchit himself look like an ama
teur, reserve your seat now for the
Follies Nigres.
Salem is proud to hisar that its
))resident has recently been honored
by the University of North Carolina
of which he is an alumnus. Mail bal
lots were cast by the alumni during
the )iast few weeks, by which Dr.
Eondthaler was elected president of
the Alumni Association. He was
elected over William C. Woodward,
of Rocky Mount, the other nominee.
Vice-Presidents elected were J.
Harper Erwing, Jr. of Durham, and
