Loving Cup Awarded For
Work in "Op-O-
Me-Thumb”
The Pierrette Players,^ of Salem
(lollege, won recognition, last Thurs
day uight, April 4, when their entry,
“ ’Op-O-Me-Thumb,” won the city
wide dramatic tournament conduc
ted by the department of recreation.
A beautiful, silver, loving cup was
awarded to the winning players, who
won over the other contestants, by a
margin of several points.
The judging of the plays consider
ed diction, acting choice of play, in
terpretation, and difi'ection. Com-'
peting against the Pierrettes Thurs
day night was the student
dramatic club, presenting “Pink and
Patches.”
Mary Penn was outstanding in her
portrayal of Amanda, a pathetic, pov
erty-stricken, laundress in a Soho
establishment. She played her role
with sympathy for and an under
standing of the character of Amen-
da.
B. C. Dunford was cast as Mr.
Horace Greensmith. Ho was con
vincing as a young laborer, the sub
ject of Amanda’s romantic fabrica
tions.
Anno Perkins played a delightful
celeste, and Mary Woodruff and
Xancy Schallert were Rose and Clem
respectively. Maiy Elizabeth Reeves
played Madame, an excitable French
woman, doing her part well.
Miss Elois Padrick, and Marietta
Way handled make-up and proper
ties, and Doctor Willoughby coached
the play. To these three the success
of the pl.iy was due in no small
measure, as well as to the willing
co-operation of the actors.
The loving cup will remain at
Salem, until the tournament next
year.

REV. TOM SYKES RONDTHALER DISCUSS-
SPEAKS IN Y. P. M. ES RELIGIOUS QUESTIONS
“Undiscovered Wealth”
Discussed By High
Point Minister
DR. MYERS TO CONDUCT
SERVICES HOME CHURCH
Founders Day Speaker To
Be Here May 5 To 12
Dr. Charles F. Myers, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church in
Greensboro. N. C., will come to wins-
ton-Salem early in May to hold a
series of services at the TIomo Mo
ravian Church. For the past years
Dr. Myers lias been a prominent
figure on the campuses of many of
the leading colleges of the South.
TIis simple and logical messages
have been enthusiastically received
not only by the college groups but
by ohler people as well, wherever
he has gone.
Rev. Gordon ,Spaugh announced
that the special service will be held
the week. May 5 to 12. Dr Myers
is well known in this community
having spoken at the home church
on previous occasions. He was the
guest speaker at the Founders Day
Exercises at «®ialem in February.
Rev. Tom Alderman Sykes, of
High Point spoke at Y. P. M., Wed
nesday, April 3, on “Undiscovered
Wealth” and the way to tap this
fortune.
He stated that one of the first
and greatest challenges to j-outh to
day is to study. Many of us study
mainly becausc the folkg back home
would be disappointed if they didn’t
send home good marks, but accord
ing to the Bible, we are challenged
“to study to show thyself a work
man that needeth not to be
ashamed.” If we arc wise we will
not throw over the teaching of the
Bible but turn back more and more
to this greatest of all text books to
search for and rediscover its worth.
The speaker continued with this
theme that one of the greatest ene
mies of America today is ignorance.
“We must,” he stated, “conquer
that enemy; we must understand and
grow ourselves; we n)ust have with
in us the making of something bet
ter and finer (han give expression at
the moment. We must stimulate and
stir to consciousness that better and
nobler self to attain anything like
the goal of perfection. Winston-
Salem and North Carolina need at
this moment the finished product of
Salem College at its best. Any thing
less than the best will fall far short
of your scliool standards.”
To attain this perfection, Rev.
Sykes went on to say, we must be
adventurers. We must keep alert
mentally and physically, we must
have a larger view of human rela
tionships, for we are going into a
world in which wo need direction
with this new leisure and freedom.
We must think for ourselves; it is
all right to send out our washing,
but by no means should we send out
our thinking. We must think in
terms of perfection as our goal and
objective and in time we will raise
U|t in America the kind of leader
ship and guidance it should have.
MATH CLUB MEETING
The Math. Club will meet tonight
at 7:00 o’clock in the recreation
room of Louisa Wilson Bitting Build-
ing. A programof Mathematical
games is planned, with refreshments

IY. W. C. A. Holds Informal
I Meeting Monday
I ^
I Under the auspices of the World
Fellowship Committee of the Y. W.
IC. A. a discussion group was held
Monday night in the Y. W. C. A.
cabinet room. Dr. Rondthaler an-
I swered questions the girls put be-
I fore him, either ])rcviously written
j or additional ones. The questions
demanded three typos of answers
from experience, from the Scripture,
[and froui a speculative angle.
I The first question to bo discussed
I was; Is the resurrection spiritual
I or ]>h3'sicalf This cannot be ade-
I quately exjilaiped because of the
i lack of appropriate terms. It has
I been dealt with in a series of figures,
' which do not prove, but rather il
lustrate and throw some light on the
subject. We should not be baffled
by the physical aspects of tho res
urrection, but should draw from it
a sjiiritnal comfort. Tho resurrec
tion involve,) a mingling of spiritual
feelings phis a continuity and
change.
'I’he second question spoken of
was: What is thesignificance of the
Book of the Song of Solomon and
liow should it bo construed? This
book is !i rural idyll,, not a contin
uous and logical ]>oem, and is made
U|) of disconnected c'pisodes in the
love life of a shepherd. It is a
book that is sweetly and sincerely
fnuik and lovely. There are those
who think every part of Scripture
has to have equal value, but one
should discover and honor the vary
ing values. Scrijiturc should be
placed in various categories, and
valued accordingly.
Is Christ to come to the earth
secretly before the second advent,
making a total of three comings to
earth? No man knows exactly the
facts concerning this, but through
out the Bible the suddeness of his
coming rather than tho sneekiness is
eni]ihasized.
Will the .lew be saved though he
does not believe in the divinity of
Christ? To this question Dr. Rond
thaler read the eleventh chapter of
Romans in which we are told that
all are to be saved.
Why do Catholics lay so much
stress on the reverence of the Virgin
Mary ? The Catholics revere and ad
mire Virgin Mary because of her in
timate relationship with Christ. They
