HELLO THERE!
Many times during the last twelve days, Freshmen and
new girls, you have heard “We’re glad to have you here.”
And many times we have meant it and maybe have not stopped
to say it. But by this time I suppose you all have the idea
that we all think you are a pretty swell bunch of people. We
like your looks, your friendly smiles, and tJie co-operation that
you’ve already shown.
Scliool away from home is a lot different for all of us
from High School and slip-shod studying (at least, that was.
I’m afraid, wrhat High School was for us), and it is hard at
first to get ourselves used to it.
And it’s different, too, to be able to look out every morn
ing and see a sleepy-eyed room-mate with remains of last night’s
cold cream smeared over he rcheeks. And it’s sort of a differ
ent world from home to see that same girl and a couple of hun
dred others around us every day.
We are in a little world of our own here — it belongs
to us and to all the other Salem girls to make of it what we
choose. We are so glad you new people came in last week to'
live wjith us, and already we feel that you have found a def
inite place here.
—K. K.
THANES
TO YOU!
Of course you new girls can’t really appreciate the re
decorated Memoi'ial Hall the way all of us old girls can. One
reason that we’re so proud of it is that it’s all spic and span
for you to start your new Salem life in. On the cold, leold
winter mornings w'ben the sun shoots down her early rays, th©
new Hall will not seem quite so cold and cheerless as it used to.
And in the early Spring, come next May, when the windows
are first pushed up for Chapel service, the Hall will have known
a great many exciting adventures — famous lecturers, recitals,
music hours, and just everyday chapel.
That new organ leaves all of us speechless. Wednesday
morning, marching into the Hall for the first time to its music,
we were thrilled and excited to hear its vibrant voice rolling
from the pipes. For so long Salem girls, especially organ ma
jors who knew and understood so wiell the need, have wished
and hoped for a new organ; and finally, this year, we return
to school and find our wish fulfilled, our dream come true.
We, on behalf of the student body, wish to avail oursel
ves of this privilege to thank the person or persons responsible
for all this good work. Memorial Hall had had no redecora-
tion since it had been put up in 1907 until this summer and, as
stated before, the organ had been in dire state. Indeed, this

“Y” NEWS
FRESHMAN-FACULTY
PARTY
If the “Y” paity for the new
students and faculty last Saturday
night was a sample of the parties of
the coming year, there is only one'
thing we can say — We want more
Ifnder the guidance of the “Y”
president, Betty Sanford, we played
games, ran relays, turned artist for
a few minutes, and competed with
the faculty in naming the titles of
popular music, which Helen R'avage
so ably rendered. Prizes were given
to the winner of each game; and
what cute prizes! We certainly wish
we had won one. By the time we
had finished playing all these games
and dancing the Virginia reel, we
were ready for the appetising re^-
freshments that were served. For
our refreshments we went to a clev
erly arranged “filling station” witji
the punch as “No-knocks gas” and
the doughnuts as tires. ‘
The members of the “Y” cabinet
helped with the refreshment.s and
the playing of the game.s, but Betty
Sandford was the organizer of the
party. Our thanks for a grand eve-
ning go to Betty and we all say —
let’s have another one soon.

I’m sick of all these hold-up jobs,
’Round joints I’ll stay no more;
So, with a sigh and sad goodbye,
The garter stretched out on the
floor.
Once there was a woman driver
who went to Heaven — She knock
ed one of the gates off going in.
was a splendid act, and we thank you from the very bottom of
our hearts.

SALEMITES APPEAR IN
MOZART FESTIVAL
(Continued From Page One)
the person of Carolyn Creson, sang
fluently and intelligently, and her
portrayal was feminine and viva
cious. Most ingenious and well-
conceived was Lillian Stokes’ Cher-
ubino — expertly sung, though a
trifle small of voice. Of the men,
Figaro played by James Blair, was
competently, sung and played with
tolerable gusto; Clifford Bair made
much out of the small parts of
Basilic and Curzio.”
The opera is based on a comedy
of the same title by Beaumorchais
and is a musical representation of
the manners and machinations of the
18th century court. The produc
tion was staged in excellent style
and authentic tradition by Mr.
Clifford Bair, head of voice and
opera dramatics of Salem’s music
school and opera director of the
festival, and by Thor Johnson of
Winston-Salem and Ann Arbor, Mich
igan, who was general director of
tie festival.
Both Mr. Johnson and Mr. Bair
are authorities on Mozart. Mr. John
son participated in the Mozart festi
val held at Salzburg while he was
studying abroad. Shortly after his
return to the United States he be
gan preparations for the first festi
val, fashioned after those held in
Germany. It is the only one of its
kind held in America, and Asheville
may well be called the “Salzburg of
America.”
Mr. Bair appeared at the Stadt
Theatre and Festspiel Haus in Salz
burg. While in Salzburg, he ac
quired a particular interest in the
Mozart idiom and tradition.
The Mozart Festival Guild was
formed this year to provide for the
festival’s operation on a permanent
basis. Dean Vardell of Salem was
one of four North Carolinians ap
pointed to the honorary advisory
coinmittee for this organization,
which is made up of distinguished
musicians from all parts of eastern
United States.
