CONCERT

Also Appear
The annual commencement concert
will be given in Memorial Hall on
Saturday night, June 1st, at 8:15
o’clock. The program this year is

vanced students of the School of
Music will perform individually.
The program will be as follows:
Fugue in E flat major Bach
Miss Dorothy Moore
Quartet from Eigoletto Verdi
Miss Rebecca Hines, Soprano
Miss Mary Millsi Alto

The cantata, “The Highwaymen,”
is based upon the ballad of the same
title by Alfred Noyes. Although it
is enjoyable to read the story of
“The Hghwayman,” to hear this
stirring ballad as sung and played
by the soloists, chorus, and orchestra
is many times more enjoyable. Every
one is invited to attend the concert.
•^HE HIGHWAYMAN”
In the moonlight, a horseman
dressed in a French cocked hat, a
coat of claret velvet, and brown doe
skin breeches came galloping up the
highway. Ho stopped at the old
inn, knocked at the door wi* his
whip, but all was quiet. When he
whistled a tune at a window, there
came to the casement, Bess, the inn
keeper ’s black-eyed daughter, knot
ting into her long black hair a red
lovers knot.
Bess was not the only one in the
inn awake that night. There was a

HONORS SENIORS
Girls Living in Louisa Wil
son Bitting Building
Elntertained at Dinner
Last Wednesday evening the Sen
iors who live in the Louisa Wilson
Bitting Building were entertained
at a dinner given there by Mrs.
Kate Reynolds. Mrs. Reynolds is the
donor of the senior building, which
is named in honor of her mother, and
every spring .she entertains the girls
who have lived in her mother’s
bulding during that year.
The long table was decorated with
bowls of mixed flowers, with i>eonie8
predominating, and at each place
there was a corsage of sweet peas
and roses. There were tall yellow
candles on the table, and a cheerful
fire was burning in the fireplace.
Before beginning the dinner, the
Alma Mater was sung. Then Mrs.
Rondthaler introduced Mrs. Hart-
ness, of Statesville and Raleigh, the
representative of Mrs. Reynolds,
who was unable to come because of
illness. Mrs. Hartncss offered a
toast to the seniors; Mary Penn re
plied. During the evening each
guest wrote some greeting on a card
to be taken to Mrs. Reynolds.
Probably the climax of the dinner
was reached when Mr. Bruner
brought in the huge, tiered, birthday
cake to celebrate the fifth anniver
sary of Louise Wilson Bitting Build
ing. The cake was iced in white,
fluted and decorated elaborately.
On top a vase made of white icing
held real flowers. Mr. Bruner him
self cut the cake, which was eaten
with ice cream molded in various
shapes.
After dinner Miss Lilly read a
ghost story by H.G . Wells, “The
Red Room.”
Those present, beside the seniors,
were: Mrs. Hartness, Dr. and Mrs.
Rondthaler, Mrs. Anna Rondthaler
Rooce, Miss Adelaide Fries, Miss
Lawrence, Miss Riggan, and Miss

MISS MARKS TELLS OF
EXPERIENCE AT HULL
HOUSE IN CHICAGO
Jane Addams Dies In
Chicago
Miss Sallie Marks, well known
member of the college faculty, once
stayed at Hull House in ('hicago
while she was studying social sci
ence at Chicago University. She
has given the following interesting
facts about Hull House:
“It was during my study at Chi
cago University that I became in
terested in the work at Hull House
and the people connected with it.
Hull House was built in 185(5 for
the homestead of one of Chicago’s
pioneer citizens, Mr. CharlesJ. Hull,
and had been used for many purposes
before it came to its present use.
“Miss Jane Addams, whose dream
and work made Hull House' possible,
and her friend. Miss Ellen Gates
Starr, had the house reimired and
funished it as they would have their
own home with bits of family ma
hogany, and the new furniture which
was bought was in keeping with the
character of the fine old residence.
“When we were studying social
life of working people at the stock
yards, most of whom were women
who had replaced men there during
the W'ar, we went to Hull House and
stayed, for it was near the Yards.
We found that these people who were
accustomed to coming to the House
were less afraid to talk and give
us the information wo desired for
our studies. We were under the di
rection of Miss Sophia Brcckenridge,
who lived at Hull House during the
summer months.
‘Hull House offers an opportunity
to the underpriveleged people of
Chicago to enjoy the finer things of
life. One of the first buildings
erected for Hull House contained an
art gallery, and now there is a
small theater where some of the best-
known plays are presented, and
whore the young people are permit-

HISTORY OF BUILDINGS
IN SALEM REVIEWED
Miss Fries Authority On
Local History
All of those who have a yen for
historic old buildings and settings
had a treat last Wednesday when
Miss Fries, whose si>ecialty is local
history, spoke in Y. P. M.
Miss Frieategan by tearing down
all the preserPTbuildings on the Cam
pus and then one by one built them
all back as they are today.
One of the first buildings in old
Salem was the House which stood
where Main Hall now stands. Half
of this house was used as tho Min
ister’s home; tho other half was the
home of the unmarried women of the
community. The third floor of tho
building was used as a gathering
place for all socials and meetings
of the community. It was in this
building that Salem Female Acad
emy first began. Somo of the un
married women began the school by
teaching the young girls of the vil
lage. In 1785 tho “Single Sister.'*
House” was built by the efforts of
the bachelor girls of Salem. Somo
of the stronger women even carried
brick and stone in order to help
build tho house. By the way, this
is the only building on tho campus
that has a ghost story connected
with it. Whiit was going to be a
perfectly good “hant” turned out
to be ,a poor little unsuspectiufj
pu.ssy covered with soot and shod
with walnut hulls.
In 1802 South llall was built as
the first Imilding for the Academy.
So many girls from outside the com
munity had come to the school that it
was necessary to have a building in
which to board them. This was the
beginning of the .Academy proper.
Changes have gradually taken ])Iace
until our present College is com
plete. Miss Fries mentioned tho
fact that she had seen many of the
changes which have taken place in
her life time. We wonder what
changes will take jjlace during our
lifetime.
CO-EDS ENTERTAIN STU
DENTS AND FACULTY
One of the Most Elnjoyed
Parties of the Year Held
Saturday Night
Saturday night as I peeped in tho
window of the beautifully decorated,
yellow and white Hut, I saw that
the co-eds were making one of the
jolliest evenings imaginable for tho
students and faculty. I had to
stand on a very high bench in order
to look through tho two i>erfectly
huge letters, S. C. that wore in every
window.
Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler, Miss Law
rence, Mr. and Mrs. Schofield, and
Miss Riggan were standing by tho
door shaking tho hands of all who
came in. I gathered that they wero
the receiving line (bright of mo
don't you think). 1 craned my neck
all around the still huge letters S. C.
and spyed John Peddycord and his
orchestra ‘going to town’ over in tho
right hand corner to be exact. Faces,
strange faces and familiar face.«t,
whirled by my little hole in tho wall,
but not a single one smiled at my
two curiously wide open eye.s.
Tntermission—I had to run around
the corner of tho Hut, becau.sc every
body rushed outside to the punch
bowl, or elsewhere. It wasn’t long,
however, before tho couples straggled
back to watch tho march by
