RICHARD CROOKS
GIVES CONCERT
Famous American Tenor
Appeared On Civic
Music Series
Richard Crooks, noted American
tenor of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, was presented here in con
cert by the Civic Music j*Issoeiation,
Tuesday evening at 8:30 in Reynolds
Memorial Auditorium. Mr. Crooks
offered a well-chosen and well-bal-
anced program as well as a generous
list of encores.
The program was as follows:
If Thou Be Near Bach
Alma mia, from “Floridante”—
Handel
Per Pieta - Stradella
Der Neugierize; Wohin?; Halt; Eif-
ersucht und Stoltz, from “Die
Schone Mullerin Schubert
Aria: Vainement, ma bien aimee
(Le Boi d’Ys) Lala
Aria: Le Rene (Manon) .... Massenet
To the Children Rachmaninoff
Sea Fever Ireland
Have You Seen But a White
Lilie Grow Anonymous
Grieve Not, Beloved La Forge
Mr. Crooks employed throughout
his program flawless enunciation and
inflection in whatever language he
happened to be singing. His tones
were rich and had an unusual warmth
even in the most delicate pianissimo
passages, which he employed fre
quently with great success. Mr.
Crooks’ interpretations excelled in
his dramatic selections. His person
ality seemed to suit this type of song
better than the more subtly artistic
variety. Especially well done were
“Wohin?” by Schubert; Aria: “Le
Rene” (Manon); and “Sea Fever”
by John Ireland.
Encores were:
Serenade Haydn
None But the Lonely Heart
Tschaikowsky
Dedication Franz
Aria from Fedora Giordano
Aria from Tosca Puccini
Mother 0’ Mine Tours
Serenade Schubert
Songs My Mother Taught Me
Dvorak
Mr. Crooks’ able accompanist,
Frederick Schauwecker, played four
piano solos before intermission:
Nocturne Arensky
Prelude Rachmaninoff
La Fileuse Sibelius

FORMER SALEMITE
SINGS ON RADIO
Lucy Jones Becoming A
Success
when you hear the three southern
girls, who call themselves the ‘ ‘ Sym-
phonettes,” singing over the radio,
you must remember that one of them
is Lucy James, a former Salemite.
She is living in New York at the
Barbizon Club and is singing on va
rious programs over the air. The
most interesting of her broadcasts
was the one which she recently did
with Mr. Paul Whiteman, on the
Chesterfield half-hour.
Miss James’ mother came to Salem,
too. Lucy is from Greenville, North
Carolina. She went to the Green
ville High School and upon being
graduated from there she entered
Salem in 1932. At Salem she ma
jored in voice. In 1934 she trans
ferred to Birmingham Southern where
she was prepared to sing over the
air. She has been in New York for
the past two years and is quickly
coming into prominence among the
younger singers.
“HELEN AND THE
TROJANS” IS FACULTY
PRODUCTION
By Pricking Our Thumbs,
Something Comic This
Way Comes
When Miss Lawrence, draped in a
sheet, meets Dr. Anscombe, dressed in
a hockey tunic, every day after
lunch, and together they sing over
their favorite tunes, it is a sure sign
that the Salem faculty are begining
to put on musical airs. And when
Noble McEwen, working on his Ph.
D. degree in Durham, receives a mys
terious manuscript with orders to
learn to sing it properly by March
10, and to return to Salem on that
date to do his bit in a production
now under way, it is time for the
students to take notice. Evidently
spring has crept into their .bones, for
something is definitely “pepping up
the profs. ’ ’ Some were recently seen
dancing until perspiration poured
off their august brows — and lo, the
dance they were practicing was un
doubtedly the “Big Apple. ” Others
have started putting up their hair in
high Grecian curls, not in an effort to
be fashionable, but in order to know
how to arrange suitable coiffures for
their parts in this magnificent fac
ulty rpoduction. Dr. Wenhold may
be seen almost any morning doing the
goose-step down Main Street saluting
an unseen companion at intrevals,
and humming “Johnnie, Get Your
Gun ’ ’ under breath. Mr. Downs sits
at the breakfast table these days
with a war-like look on his handsome
face, and if you happen to pass
close enough you’ll hear him niur-

JUNIORS HONORED BY
FRESHMEN AT DANCE
Cherry Blossom Ball Is
Great Success
Last Saturday night in the gym
nasium the freshmen gave the juniors
a Cherry Blossom Dance which was
excellently planned and which proved
to be a great success.
The decorations were very appro
priate. Against each of the six large
windows was placed an improvised
cherry tree in full bloom. And bal
loons tied with green leaves repre
sented cherry flusters, and twining
ivy covered a white fence which sur
rounded the orchestra.
In the receiving line were Miss
Margaret Patterson, president of the
freshman class; Mr. and Mrs. Van
D. Patterson; Miss Annette MeNeely,
president of the junior class; Mr. and
Mrs. Boy McNeely; Dr. and Mrs.
Howard Rondthaler; Miss Margaret
McLean, advisor for the freshman
class; Miss Agnes Brown, advisor for
the junior class. Miss Grace Lawrence
and Miss Sarah Turlington.
Punch and cakes were served dur
ing the evening, and the music was
furnished by Claude Little and his
orchestra.
Immediately after intermission an
elaborate figure was performed by
the officers of the two classes, the
members of the I. R. S. Council, the
representatives of the student gov
ernment, and their escorts.
Among the freshmen responsible
for the success of the dance were the
following: Madeline Hayes, chairman
of the invitation committee; Sybil
Wimmer and Esther Alexander,
heads of the decoration committee;
Louis Early, chairman of the re
freshment committee; Mary Graham,
chairman of the committee in charge
of presenting a figure.
