Page Four. THE SALEMITE Oct. 13. 1944. On October 17, the' Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra, under the dir ection of George K. Baudenbush, will perform a tone poem by a tal ented young American, North Caro linian, and ex-Salemite. The com position, “Song for a Peaceful Valley”; the compost\r, Margaret Vardell. In the Salem College Library is a print of Vincent Van Gogh’s “Land scape Near Auvers.” It was this painting that gave Margaret the “idea” for her tone poem. She says that it helped her to express “things that I had been thinking about.” “It is not exactly the inspiration for my composition,” she adds; “I merely tried to express the same idea in a different medium.” Margaret has two qualities that will make her great. She has in herited a famous father’s talent and a charming mother’s personality. List ening to her organ or piano concerts proves her talent; meeting hcfr proves her posession of an unaffected, grac ious j:tersonality. “I have a weakness for raw oys ters and Italian food,” confesses the sparkling eyed brunette, “anil my pocularity is writing letters in double-talk (so my friends say). My hobby is composing.” “Your hobby?” asks the inter viewer. “Yes,” she replies, “it certainly isn’t a living!” Umph! — Unh-unh — Ilmm? But Margaret has her “living” well-planned. She has been appoint ed a teacher of theory at Oberlin Conservatory of Music. It is while en route there that she will go to Harrisburg to hear her composition performed netxt week. The youthful composer, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Charles G. Vardell graduated from Salem in 1942 'w'ith a Bachelor of Music degree and re ceived college? honors. She then stud ied at Eastman (School of Music in Rochester, N. Y., and received her Master of Music degree there in June of this yc'ar. “Song for a Peace ful Valley” was written as her thesis and was first performed by the Roch ester Civic Orchestra. Margaret’s example sets a high goal of achievement for aspiring musicians, and it is with geniune pride that Salem points to one of its most extraordinary alumnae— Margare Vardell, composer and musican. ?

Main SEE MBS. DIXON Mrs. Russell Wilson, the nc^v faculty adviser of the Pierrettes, spoke to the club Monday night on “Having Fun in Dramatics.” She emphasizc'cl the fact that, although dramatics is fun, there is still a great deal of work connected with it. No girl should enter this activity with the idea of having all the fun and doing no work. Mrs. Wilson mentioned several ways in which girls should try to improve, if they are to reap the full benefit of activity in dramatics. F irst of all, a cheerful and co-opera tive attitude is essential, even more so than obedience to all the rule^. Every girl should watch her posture, keep herself well-groomed, and be careful of her personal appearance generally; because each one is point ed out to and imitated by others. A SALEMITES ap TOWN MEETING PLACE THE ANCHOR CO. “The Shopping Center” pleasing personality helps in gain ing self-confidence and impressing others favorably. So far as actual ability is concerned, Mrs. Wilson said, talent in acting is not most important; the abilities to co-operate with fellow workers and to take criticism without giving alibis have more value.

Column WHAM!!! That noise was the banging success of Mr. Weinland’s panel discussion at vespers last Sun day night. His informative speech brought out things that we had never though about particularly. The value of our psychology courses dawned upon us in the attempt to understand the returning service man with his changed views and problems. Sud- dcfnly we realized that we were adults with a major problem pressing upon us. Mr. Weinland, if for no other reason than provoking argu ment, would take the opposite side of an issue under discussion. If you were unlucky enough to miss this service, don’t miss the next one. Rachel promises us more panel discussions—and soon. This coming Sunday night Dr. Anscombe tvill speak. As one Sale- mite so aptly expressed it, ‘ ‘ He’s the typek of preacher that America neds, becausee he preaches real re ligion.” Many of us got tired of sitting at school trying to get an education while othoTs our age are replacing men for active service or taking nurses’ training.
