Page Four. THE SALEMITE February 1 8, 1944. Sports Rambling This week we are just waiting— suspense. The Captains of the basket ball class teams will bcf elected by Priday, Feb. 18. Peggy Witlierington, manager of basketball says that the games will begin the later part of next week. The practices, how ever, are not indicative of growing interest. They tend to show a neutral response of Salemite to the sport. Freshmen have been the remark able class team, and a brilliant fut ure is predicted for them in the tournament. The? Sophs, are holding their own still, but up to now only three juniors and three seniors have showed up. What about it, upperclassmen? Now as to the faculty-student fray. Mrs. Leight is going to head up the big game for the faculty. The game itself will come in the schedule along with the tournament. Remember the admission to this long-awaited game will be at least a ten-eent war stamp. The admissions will be used by the A. A. to apply on abond for the indoor swimming pool. This project is a bee buzzing in Salem’s head that hopes to sting when the war permits. Then there’s the A. A. formal this week-end! See you in tfie gym. This week’s edition of the Salemite was edit«3 by juniors Mary Ellen Byrd and Nell Denning. DR.

Because of medical accomplish ments, the expectation of life has increased in two centuries from twenty-six years to sixty-five years. Medicine heli>s also in the greater enjoyment of life. In conclusion. Dr. Grollman stated that “the problem of medicine to day is to apply the findings of re lated sciences in the most feasible way.” MORRIS SERVICE (Next To Carolina Theater) GRILLED SANDWICHES FOUNTAIN “Exclusive But Not Expensive” Air Conditioned Prompt Call and Delivery Service WELFARE’S DRUG STORE SALEM GIBLS’ STORE For 30 Years Near Salem College Phone 6104 534 S. Main St. STANDARD BUILDING & LOAN ASSOCIATION A TREE GROWS (Continued from Page 5) a pleasant book, for it deals with poverty, starvation, and drunken ness. Yet in this ugly truth, Betty Smith has found a kind of beauty. It is not the beauty that the artist sees in sunsets and trees or ;n mother-love and patriotism; it is the beauty of i>cople struggling to live. It is the beauty of an old man who “wants to keep on living even though he’s so old and there’s nothing to be happy about any more;” it is the beautj' of a little girl who loves the stench of the river because she knows it leads to the sea ... I have never been to Brooklyn, but after reading Betty Smith’s novel I feel that I know even the gutters of Williamsburg . . . Francie, Katie, Johnny, and Sijs^y' are not mere story book characters. They live and breathe, and with those who have known them, will not be soon forgotten. To me, the book is worth teading once, and some passages will bear reading twice. * « « • I liked this book because the characetrs are real and fascinating to me. They are both good and bad, and they show Betty Smith’s true un derstanding of human nature. These people’s lives were not dull but were continually filled with excitement * * ♦ * Though Betty Smith choso to set her story in the first World War and trace the everyday li£c of her characters during that time, her novel, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, is easily applicable to the immediate times. The Nolans and Eommelys, or families like them live in Brooklyn today. Mrs. Smith makes no attempt to color the true situa tion: she writes of it as it is.

Betty Smith realizes that, though a family^ may live in the slums of Brooklyn, they are not necessarily worthless. She knows that a res ident of Brooklyn may know as much or more of the true worth of life as one who lives in the beauci- ful Hudson river valley . • • The eliding of the book, however, is certainly not up to par with what has gone before.

Creative writing was discussed Thursday afternoon. Misu Davis told several stories illustratiug different author’s styles. She suggested sever al books a.s liases for our selec tions of stories. Among these were Walter de la Mare’s Told Again, Howard Pyle’s Twilight Land, and Hughes’ nonsensical Don’t Blame Me. Ihere were several important points tha(| Miss Davij brought out ii/ connection with story-tel ling. Story-telling is an interpre tive art, and must be siudied as such. First of all, there is the selection of a story. It is necessary to have a large repertoire from which to clioose the story most suited to the age group or mental capac’ty of the audience. Next comes the careful preparation. One should read the story first for the story's sake, then to get the actions, and finally for the v.ording. Then he should tell it in front of a mirror. The technique of storj'-telling must be acquired consciously. The nar rator must learn to forget himself. Two different techniques are in volved in tellirg the two types of stories. In telling the folk tale, one must first select the best tran slation and give it action and life, while in representing creative writ ing, he must characterize the author, and try to put across his point of view. “Your voice is a tool; cultivate it,” Miss Davis urged. There are many ‘ ‘ tricks of the trade” that may be learned from actors. For instance, the reader should learn to vary his voice tones to avoid sounding monotonous. The pause may be effectively used for emphasis la story-telling. The tempo of words, too, has an important part in holding the interest of an audience.
