WINSTON-SALEM, N. C, FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1943. Z541 Number 22. NEW OFHCERS INSTALLED AT TUES. CHAPEL At an impressive service—espe cially impressive for those poor suf ferers of stage fright on the plat form—Lucy Farmer, properly dig nified, accepted the purple robe from Sara Henry and became officially installed as president of Stee Gee- The empty seats on the stage had been reserved for those imaginative people who chose, rather, to sit be tween chairs—^four girls to two seats was the worst—and the first row of chairs was placed there merely for ornament in the Tuesday chapel. Lucy administered the oath to mi nor student government officers Cozart, Avera, Boseman, and Baynes; to major campus officers McGeachy, Garth, Butner, Stone, Grantham, Rhodes, and Sullivan; to class presi dents Seville, Denning, and Wooten; to class representatives on student government—senior, Lewis, Lindley, White, Richards; junior, Davis, Har ris, Neilson, McNair; sophomore, Little, Witherington, Hege, Griffin —and to Becky Howell, house presi dent of Bitting Dormitory. The seniors became part-alumnae as the Alma Mater was played, and the student body left with mingled feelings of regret at seeing the pld pass and of hope and confidence in the new. STOKES RECITAL WILL BE MOflDA Versatile, talented, witty, and humorous—such are the outstand ing features of Lindy Stokes, who will give her graduating recital in voice next Monday night at eight- thirty in Memorial Hall. Lindy can be found working away at counter point, singing her heart out in Mu sic Hall, or busily soaking prints in her dark room in the basement of Clewell. Nor is Lindy all work and no play—not by any means. She’s always the life of the party, a born clown, eager for a good joke, and See—STOKES—Page 4 DEHYDRATED !eS REVIEW IN AFRICA— American troojjs in Tunisia battled fiercely for control of a vital hill on the road to Tunis and Bizerte as the Germans launched strong counterattacks nil along flaming battlefront.

ALINE SHAMEL GIVES RECITAL A slightly built brunette with dark eyes smiled slowly as I asked her questions about her forthcom ing recital. When I first met Aline Shamel I was impressed by her poise, and after being with Aline a short time I heard her gay laugh and experienced some of her charm ing personality. I do believe she has a major interest in the Marine Corps, for she has been seen dashing around the campus with a captain, but Aline is planning to come back next year and take a business course. See—SHAMEL—Page 4. “COME SKETCH WITH US” Miss Dolch and her studio art class extend a most cordial invita tion to all students who feel an urge to sketch the green outdoors. The class will meet at 2:00 Tu^js- days, Thursdays and Fridays in the Art Lab—and receive drawing boards. Any medium—be it water color, pastel, crayon, or charcoal—is acceptable, and may be bought at and Leningrad. Russians re-1 the Book Store. From the Art Lab the class will tour the campus picking out spots of interest worthy of a sketch pad. Miss Dolch will give advice and help to all^ whether art students or not. The purpose of this informal group IS to offer encouragement to the numerous students on campus vrho have a yen to draw. It is to the students, who in idle moments, sketch in their rooms, and wish they had someone to share their hobby, that Miss Dolch extends this invitation. S'o gather up your pencils, brushes and paper—and “come sketch tvith us.” JANE GARROU PRESENTS RECITAL Just like a dream—in a pink net dress with ruffles everywhere; her mischievous eyes dancing and her personality radiating throughout the entire audience—that was Jane Garrou Thursday night in her grad uating recital. Jane has a lovely soprano voice—soft and delicate but rich in tone quality. Her perform ance was one of the best, and she put her audience perfectly at ease with her friendly attitude. Her program opened with the lovely and delicate Se L’aura Spira by Frescobaldi. Jane showed a sympathetic interpretation of When Love is Kind, an old English folk song. The lovely lyricism in The Brook’s IiUllaby was delivered with perfect poise, as well as was Im patience, both by Schubert. l*he area, “L’amero Saro Castaate” (II Re Pastoie) by Mozart contained beautifully sustained difficult pas sages in which Jane gave forth lovely light tones. Margery Craig, organist, assisted Jane. Margery’s interpretation of Handel’s Suite from “Water Mu sic” portrayed her mastery of the instrument. Jane’s next group opened with Massenet’s Oh! Si Les Fleurs. This pretty melody suited Jane’s delicate voice. In Dolly by F'aure, she sang with her eyes as well as her voice. One of the most outstanding num bers was Debussy’s Mandolin, which showed an understanding of De bussy’s style and a definite feeling for the difficult tempo. GIRLS HONORED iirGEACHYWHIS SPEECH CONTES SECOND TIME Mrs. Meinung proudly announced on April 30 that two outstanding seniors in the Home Economics De partment have been appointed to hospitals for graduate study in diet etics. The students, both of whom ex pect to accept their appointments, are Lois Swain and Mary Louise Park. They are day students. Lois has been appointed to Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Mary Louise, to Watts Hospital, in Durham, North Carolina. Since most outstanding hospitals receive many more applications an nually than they can fill, the ap pointments are a great honor to the appointees, to Mrs. Meinung, as head of the Home Economies Department, and to Salem College. The department and college are already well represented by gradu ates of past years who now hold positions at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, at the University of Georgia Medical School in Augusta, Margery Craig “carried us away” with her performance of -Grand Piece Symphoniiiue by Franck.

This comix)sition is built on the theme and variation plan. Next Miss Read will be heard playing the second movement of Henri Vieux- temp’s “Concerto No. IV in D min or.” Vieuxtemp’s poetic and emo tional nature is sensed throughout this glorious and stirring number.

International Relations Club Meeting Miss Turlington spoke on “Gov ernment Agencies” at the meeting of the International Relations Club Wednesday night. She explained the significance and the functions of the various war agencies. The present strike problem was ex tensively discussed as to its relation to the War Labor Board. Follow ing the talk there was a general discussion. Lib Bernhardt, accompanied at the piano by Jo McLauchlin, sang sev eral patriotic songs. Refreshments were served. On Thursday morning at the re gular assembly hour, the, survivors of the preliminary speech contest vied for top honors in the finals. The winner of the Monte Cohen cup for the second consecutive year was Katherine McGeachy. T'he contestants, Mary Margaret Struven, Katherine McGeachy, and Lucille Newman, spoke on the sub jects: The Food Problem Today, A Lasting Peace, and Stephen Vincent Benet, respectively. Beginning the contest, Struvie im-I mediately called to the food rat ioning in the United States to day. In graphic fashion, she briefly told the audience that it must con sume all sorts of vegetables, meats, milk, butter or reasonable facsimiles in order to survive. Later she point ed out that food is a war weapon; and, in order to supply this weapon, the U. S. must send one-half of its canned foods aboard. Adding that no one should waste foods, Struvie urged her audience to help provide more by planting Victory gardens this summer. Then arose Geachy, second cup- seeker. By pointing out that the U. S., through reason and logic, has developed a no-possiblity-for- permanent-peace attitude she con trasted America with the Nazi, who has faith and spirit, who believes in his cause, and who, if necessary, will die for his beliefs. By first show ing that all nations must cooperate to maintain peace, Geachy went still further and rested the issue on the people asking “Are you willing to sacrifice personal freedom in order to reach a more meaningful group freedom? Do you have responsibility to the larger freedom?” And finally, Geachy vowed the world would be I>eaceful only if all nations were unselfish, if practiced good will to ward others. Lucille Newman, the final speaker, arose and swept her audience away with a lecture on poet Benet. IHrst, after she had announced that Steph en Benet was dead, she pointed out that his work still lives, his work which is America itself. She told her audience how the poem John Brown’s Body” has caught the spirit of America as She fought the Civil war; sho made her listeners actually chase the Yanks with her happy Little Black Children.” And when she shifted to the wit and humor, found in Benet’s short stories, she pointed out not only Sg6—CONTEST—Page 4 IT couldIeT^ BUT IT WAS CALCIUM “I must admit to feeling queer Whenever, mister, you are near; My heart begins to race, I know I have a touch of vertigo ... S’o maybe this is love, but, chum^ It could be lack of calcium.” —Alyce Hamilton. It was vitamins—not love—that took the spotlight in the darkened Old Chapel Wednesday night. May 5, when the Home Economics Club sponsored a movie in technicolor on this subject. The pictures showed the effects on the body caused by de ficiencies of the food alphabet. It showed that even “goose-stepping” can ,be caused by a vitamin defic iency. Now the story can be told about Adolf! Fat is an important element in one’s diet—^but no so desirable else where. Ana as long as sun baths are the fad at Salem, no one should be lacking vitamin D. It is even desirable to have plenty of complex as far as food is concerned—not of the inferior sort but the “B-1” clas sification. ■“ So watch those Gremlins and don’t let them exchange your dish of carrots for a coca-cola and a pack age of nabs—you might be the next victim of beri-beri.
