On n('xt Thursday, at four o’clock.
Memorial Hall will be the scene of
many a hopeful and proud heart.
The members of Doctor Vardell’s
composition class will present their
original compositions, and if we
know these students as we think we
do, they are bound to be good.
Just look at the program—Mar
gery Craig, playing a PBELTJDE for
the organ: A MOOD, for piano, by
Katy Bly Love; GAVOTTE and
MUSETTE, piano compositions by
Margery Craig. These are followed
by MOODS, a song by Juanita Miller
Winecoff; LEGEND for piano, play
ed by Catherine Swinson, and two
violin selections, ADAGIO and
CAPRICCIE^^TO, by Elizabeth
Swinson. SPEINGTIAIE and COT

MERMAIDS’ DAY. The concluding
selections, by Margaret Anna Wiji-
stead, are two two preludes, A.

Radio Experts Outline
Women’s Opportunities
“What have you got to give
Radio?” was the main question put
to the student body by Miss Gloria
Chandler in Thursday assembly. Miss
Charlotte Demorrest took the latter
part of the program to outline the
job she undertakes as a radio work
er.
Miss Chandler, explaining the edu
cational and community uses of the
radio, defined it as a public servant.
The station agrees to spend a cer
tain amount of time on local pro
grams. In this way radio is more
than an entertainment medium.
The opinions of radio workers
have changed. As late as 1930 no
plays were written for radio alone.
Now with one radio for every two
people in America, radio script
writers realize their responsibility
and compose programs for the
radio audience, usually about two
pc^ople.
Miss Deinorrest urged students
majoring in Ediucation or Social
Work to take one or two summer
sessions at a large recognized uni
versity for radio work.
McMillan Speaks On
Poet Friend, J. 0. McNeil
John McMillan was speaker in
chapel Tuesday, April 18. The sub
ject for his talk was John Charles
McNeil, a famed American poet.
Since Mr. McMillan was a personal
friend of the poet, he could pre
sent the poet as only his friends
knew him as the “sun-burnt boy.”
John Charles McNeil was born in
Scotland County in the sandhills.
He lived there for twelve years and
then moved to Biverton where ho

find America in a perturbed state
of strikes, racial diiforences and
petty politics. It is up to those at
home to straighten out these affairs,
so that sons of the rturning soldiers
will not have to fight another war
in twenty years.
Reviews Books
Mr. Weeks discussed briefly the
new book by Susan Ertz, Angel in
the Sky, and the story about the R.
A. F. by Richard Hillary, Falling
Through Space. The story of five
British raiders who made a forced
landing in occupied France is written
by H. V. Bates and called Fair
Blows the Wind from France. This
book will come out in June. The
author of Men on Bataan and Into
the Valley, John Hersey, has writ
ten a new book, A Bell for Adano.
Other new books mentioned by Mr.
Weeks are Lost Island by James
Hill and America In Asia i>y Owen
Lattimore.
Biography, according to Mr.
Weeks, has ne^’er been so fresh and
publishable. The autobiography.
Persons ..and Places, of George
Satayana is the story of a Spanisli-
American ‘ ‘ who never belonged”
in America.
In concluding, Mr. Weeks quoted
Noel Coward’s significiant poem of
the last war, “Lie in the Dark and
Listen.”
Speaks Informally
Mr. Weeks spoke informally to a
small group at four o’clock in the
afternoon before the lecture. The
Atlantic Monthly, the war, and a
few current books were topics of dis
cussion.
' Salem students listened to Mr.
Weeks enthusiastically, giving him
first pLice in the 43-44 lecture series.
remained for the rest of his life.
All of McNeil’s works were colored
by the home in which he lived and
the people whom he knew. Mr. Mc
Millan quoted from some of Mc
Neil’s prose works to illustrate his
familiarity with the woods and coun
try life.
McNeil was a very versatile i>er-
son. He wa.s interested in many sub
jects. He was sympathetic amd un
derstanding of everyone no matter
what their color or creed.
The poet came home to die, and
Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Re
quiem” was a very appropriate
epithet.
Graduate Record Exam
Taken By Seniors
The Graduate Record Examina
tion was given to the Seniors in
two half-day sessions, Wednesday
and. Thursday. This Examination is
a scries of tests designed to show
the nature and extent of a student’s
knowledge in comparison with
groups having similar training. It
is also a means whereby a student
may appraise her own attainment
and ability by valid standards which
should prove especially useful.
The scores in the Examination n?-
present solely the student’s standing
with resjiect to her knowledge of
the subjects tested'. They are the
result of her ability to answer ques
tions, to solve problems, and to
exercise judgment based on know
ledge of the material.
The tests cover broadly the
principal subjects of. a liberal edu
cation. In addition to an advanced
test in the student’s major field,
the Examination is biased on eight
general tests which are taken by
all. These are, specifically: Mathe
matics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology,
Social Studies (History, Government,
an/d Economics), Literature, Fine
Arts, and \ erbin.1 Factor, which is
a general vocabulary test.
All these tests were prepared
under the supervision of scholars
from the faculties of several uni-
versifies. Consequently, they do not
follow the curriculum at any one
institution. Without regard to par-
ticulaf courses anywhere, they are
broadly conceived as tests of the
whole subject.
Most students find the results val
uable in learning their attainments
and in learning the quality of com
petition they will find among their
future associates.
