PEE-EXAM NOTICE
(Any similarity to persons living
or dead is purely coincidental; no
disrespect or offense is intended;
We feel certain that the sense of
humor found in our speakers will
carry over to the reading of this
article; besides, no one mortal could
make all these faux-pas in one
speech, ’tho many of them do make
at least one or two.)
The Guest Speaker, Mr. Much-
blah, rises after a few suitable
words of introduction, straightens
his tie, gets a firm grip on the
speakers rostrum, then fumbles
speedily for his watch which he
places on the stand and ignores for
the duration of his speech, and
launches out something like this.—
“Ladies, and the two male fa
culty members present,” (he chuck
les loudly and the student body tit
ters feebly), it gives me great
pdeasure to look upon so many
beautiful bright shining faces. ’ ’
The Seniors look bored after four
years of this, but the Freshmen
beam.
“Which reminds me” . . . he
says,” and proceeds to tell a long
and exceedingly involved joke, at
the conclusion of which he laughs
voraciously and pauses until a few
polite snickers come from the audi
ence. He then takes a deep breath
and continues:
‘ ‘ To get back to the subject—
I’d like for you to think with me
for a few brief minutes about the
well-known , quotation: ‘The boy
stood on the burning deck, eating
peanuts by the peck.’ Which re
minds me, (Gosh, he’s off again) I
was telling my wife this morning
if you’ll pardon the personal re
ference, that there is some parallel
between the boy on the burning
deck and my standing on this plat
form.
“It is as inspiring and ter
rorizing for a helpless male to
stand on this platform and face so
much femininity as it is for a boy
to stand on a burning deck. How
ever so many beautiful faces help
to alleviate the honor in much the
same manner as eating peanuts by
the peck, if one liked peanuts,
which I don’t—if you’ll pardon the
personal reference.” He Itiughs—
Ha! Ha!—Salemites look slightly
perplexed. Dean Vardell looks to
ward Heaven and slides down in
his seat.
At this juncture the quarter ’til

Importance of Safety
Campaign Brought To
Campus This Week
This week a safety drive has been
started in Winston-Salem and in
Forsyth county.
According to a report over WSJ8
Wednesday night, by the president
of the Junior Chamber of Com
merce, North Carolina has become
lax in interest in that important
matter of “saving lives for future
use.” In comparison with northern
states. North Carolina’s death rate
is astoundingly high; and if Win
ston-Salem could run in even com-
pitition with other cities its size,
the white flag would, by rights,
wave more often over the Nissen
Building.
This serious matter was brought
to Salem Wednesday morning when
Mr. Walter Cutter of the North
Carolina Highway Safety Commis
sion spoke in chapel. He came on
the special request of Dr. Kond-
thaler, who, for a long time, has
seen the need of safety instruction
and of a convincing “stop” sign
here on Salem campus. In answer
to Mr. Cutter’s statement that it
is young people of college age with
whom the committee is most con
cerned Dr. Eondthaler said that it
is strange what little significance
most girls attach to a stop light in
comparison with the attraction of
fered by the post office across
Main street.
Impressed by the number of stu
dents who had had instructions in
driving, Mr. Cutter said—“we are
hearing much about national de
fense these days and I am going to
talk about one phase of that—not
so graphic, perhaps dull, but ex
traordinary valuable—Helping us
save lives. ”
Mr. Cutter summed up under four
heading, subtle and explcit ways
of how not to get killed. The first
is to take the driving of an auto
mobile seriously, “Don’t let the
auto salesman with his female psy-
ihology make you believe that even
a baby could drive his special make
of car. You are handling a complex
machine when you drive an auto
mobile. Mastering the ability to
stop and start does not make a
good driver. A person must learn to
drive at least four or five cars at
once—the one behind you, the one
in front of you, the one coming to
ward you, and the one coming out
of the side road. If you cannot do
that it is better that you accom
pany and not drive.”
The second warning of Mr. Cut
ter was not to let the 100 or 120
miles on your speedometer plate in
spire you to hitch your wagon to
a star. “The best locate for that
is home and the best vehicle—the
mind. Speed kills.”
Third—“Eeckless driving is ex
traordinarily bad citizenship, ex
traordinarily bad manners, and ex
traordinarily fatal. When driving,
one should behave as in a drawing
room at a tea—having the same
patience, the same understanding
and care. Eecklessness is criminal
stupidity on wheels. ’ ’
Mr. Cutter closed by giving warn
ing to the pedestrians. “People
who walk are in traffic too. Three
hundred and thirty-three deaths oc-
cured to pedestrains last year, 175
people being killed for walking on
the wrong sid eof the road. In the
past eleven years in North Caro
lina, 10,500 people have been killed
and 82,000 injured
“It is the duty of every citizen
to co-operate in this drive.” said
Mr. Cutter, “If the present state
of carelessness continues, not only
will the life of one individual be
endangered, but also the lives of
many other people, since none of
us can live alone.”
Please notic^e exam schedule
printed at left. This schedule is
final and is not subject to change.
Each student must secure her
examination card from th ebook
store before she is permitted to
take her examinations. This fee
is to cover the cost of blue books
and blotters.
All class work must be com
pleted and handed in before
Thursday 23rd. Students are re
quested not to make plans for
social engagements on Beading
Day, since this added day for
study has been given the stu
dents .by the committee.

BRAILOWSKY
ON CIVIC MUSIC
The Civic Music Association will
present Alexander Brailowsky, one
of the greatest living interpreters
of Chopin, on January 21, at 8:30,
in Reynolds Auditorium.
Alexander Brailowsky, Russian-
born, but later becoming a citizen
of Switzerland, began to study
music with his father who ran a
music stor ein Kiev. Later he
studied in Vienna under the fam
ous teacher, Lesscetizky, who
taught Paderewski. He made his
debut in Paris and immediately he
became the most talked-of musician
in the French capitol. Besides be
ing a great interpreter of Chopin,
his repetaire embraces the entire
classic and modern field of pianis-
tic literature. In fact, he was able
to give twelve different programs in
five weeks at twelve different con
certs. Ten times Alexander Brailow
sky has undertaken the stupendous
task of presenting the entire 169
works of Chopin in six recitals.
Besides being a pianist, Mr.
Brailowsky is a linquist, a dog
fancier, a motion picture fan, and
an avid reader of mystery stories.
He speaks fluently English, Bus-,
sian, Spanish and French; since he
married a Polish woman he has
learned something of that language,
too. “Berry” a magnificient light
brown chou accompanies the pian
ist on his concert tours. His taste
in movies runs to G-Men and gang
sters.
As for the personal appearance
of Mr. Brailowsky: Ho is tall and
thin with straight black hair, light
blue eyes and a wide mouth. When
he smiles he becomes a dark Fred
Astaire; when in repose, Noel Cow
ard. He is one of the few living
pianists who has a “pianists’
hands”—long thin hands with long
tapering fingers. In order to keep
his fingers warm he wears fur-lined
gloves. If the backstage room is
cold, he drums with his fingers on
a table for five or ten minutes be
fore the recital is scheduled to be
gin. On Tuesday night Mr. Brailow
sky will present the following pro
gram:
I
Concerto in D minor Vivaldi
Maestoso-Fugue-Larga-Finale
