Library Adds
Dataon Clubs
Tlie Order of the Scorpion has
prPaented to the library, a-, part of
their contribution in the 175th An
niversary year, a History of Or
ganizations at Salem College pre
pared by members.
These histories also include pro
grams which have been successfully
carried out. From them one may
learn how active or inactive the
various organizations at Salem Col
lege have been throughout the years,
the purpose, goal, and accomplish
ments of each. They should be very
helpful to present groups mapping
goals and making plans for the fu
ture.
It is the intention of tJie Scorp
ions to add to these histories from
time to time, and thus keep them up
to date. At present they total about
150 pages.
Vardell Cantata
To Be Presented
The Salem College Choral En
semble and Men’s Chorus with the
Piedmont Festival group will pre
sent for its first performance, a
cantata, “Song in the Wilderness,”
over NEC’s coast to coast "iretwork,
on Saturday, May 31, from 5:15-
5:45. With words by Paul Gr«en
and music by Dr. Charles Vardell,
Jr., the cantata was written in cele
bration of the 175th anniversary of
the founding of Salem College.
In this rich and moving composi
tion two brilliant artists have com
bined their talents in honoring an
ageless institution. The original
edition, limited to 600 numbered
copies, will be handsomely bound in
cloth and will bear the autographs
of the author and comp'oser. The
jacket design will be a reproduction
in black and white of the murals
done by Miss Allen and Gene Noy-
en for the foyer of Main Hall, Sa
lem College. Copies are available
in the Salem Book Store.
The cantata will also be presented
by the Choral Ensemble in their
commencement recital on Saturday
night, May 31, at 8:30 o’clock in
Reynolds’ Auditorium.
Mile Offers Dog-Day Dope
Salem Seniors Seek Jobs
After nine months of school,
three months of carefree vacation
seem your just deserts, but whether
June, July and August are months
of rest or resourcefulness “It’s All
Up To You”! Summer working,
some are not, but the former can
be both fun and experience. Some
jobs even mean $$$.
Mademoiselle has compiled all
facts and findings on jobs and job-
seeking into an attraciiive and in-
si>iring pamphlet, “Summer Work
Out” which has been put iiito the
library for your convenience. This
pamphlet gives you all the dope:
where to apply, necessary require
ments, ivho is needed and where.
For those with printers ink in
their veins a small town newspaper
is your best bet. May we add that
the compensation is mostly experi
ence.
Treading on foreign soil
except for volunteer work overseas
(requisite: five hundred on hand)
is only for permanent employees.
The inland water excursion lines,
however, have openings for those
who are balanced when it comes to
carrying soup plates. The waitress’
way is also the way to spend a sum
mer at the beach or visit our nat
ional parks, especially in the West.
If you have a great deal or physical
stamina, there are various camp
jobs at various levels of remuner
ation. There are a great many open
ings for you in hospital, restaurants,
I institutions should you be home
economical - testing kitchens, die
tetics, menu-making. Perhaps selling
is your line. Department stores want
attractive girls, and so we feel
Salemites could come through all
the keen competition that goes w'ith
finding this sort of a job. These are
just a few of the many possibilities;
you could even think up your own
original one-man job.
Already the returns and reports
are coming in fgj. jobs and job
hunters. Seeking careers in hus
bandry are Henrietta Walton,Sally
BosweU, Bernice Bunn, Ticka
Senter, Fran, Rives, Boots Lambeth,
and Mary Prances King.
After,graduation Jane Mulhollem
is going to tour the Continent - the
States, Canada, and Mexico, that is.
Jean McNew
IS no homebody either;
she’s going to Alaska to do radio
work. Gwen Yount is going to Eip
to Florida.
Ezio Pinza
Will Sing
Ezo Pinza, bass-baritone, will be
presented by the Civit/^Music As
sociation at the Reynolds’ Audi
torium, Wednesday May 21, at 8:30
p.m.
Pinza was born in Romo, Italy.
Shortly after his birth his parents
moved back to their native Ravenna
and settled there. In the old Byzan
tine City, Pinza led the normal life
of the average Italian boy, with
never any thought of a musical ca
reer. At eighteen he had to decide
what to do to earn his livelihood.
His first choice was bicycle racing,
but he soon became discouraged and
tried singing. Accompanied by his
father, Pinza -went to Bologna to
audition for Vezzani at the Con
servatory. The answer was no, but
undaunted by this refusal, Pinza
went to another teacher, Maestro
Ruzza, and the answer this time
was yes. Upon Ruzza’s death, Vez-
ziini changed his mind and took
him into the conservatory.
In 1925, Pinza made his debut
with the Metropolitan Opera and
his twentieth anniversary there has
recently ' been celebrated. “The
greatest bass baritone of his gene
ration”, as Time magazine calls
him, Ezio Pinza is praised equally
for his histrionic abilities as well
as his vocal accomplishments.
Some seniors still have unweary
brain cells. Sara Haltiwanger is
going to the Juilliard School of
Music in New York; Virtie Stroup,
the Graduate School of Social Work
at Carolina; Frances Carr will take
dietetic training at the Watt’s
Hospitfll in Durham.
If you read the Journal-Sentinel
you probably already know that
Trixie Zigler has landed her job,
Assistant Home Demonstration
Agent in Forsyth County. Mary
Anne Linn will be in the Winston
schools primary department as a
teacher.
Bouchie Scott is going to work
and wait at home. There’s a point
in her waiting, a Wes’ Point . . .

Mrs. TilJett Says Salem
Can Be Part Of UNESCO
“Since wars begin in the minds
of men, it is in the minds of men
that the defenses of peace should be
constructed”, said Mrs. Charles W.
Tillet, Vice-Chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee, as we
discussed informally with her the
purpose of UNESCO. She was quot
ing from the constitution of UNE
SCO, which has as its main idea
“the meeting of minds across
boundary lines the exchange of cul
ture between countries.”
Having been a delegate to the
United Nations Conference in San
Francisco, Mrs. Tillet was able to
tell many amusing anecdotes about
her adventures there. Explaining
the functions of the various de
partments of the UN, Mi^g. Tillet
stated that the Social Council might
well be called the “planning board”
of the UN, because it seeks to pre
vent w'ar by investigating war’s
potential causes. The World Trade
Organization explains its purpose by
its title, the World Food Organi
zation and the World Health Or
ganization approach the problem
from a practical, every day view
point, while UNESCO appeals to
the minds and hearts of men.
Gracious, attractive, Mrs. Tillet
has been active for many years in
civic, church and club affairs of
women in the State and nation.
Having recently attended a national
conference in Philadelphia, which
was sponsored by the State Depart
ment for the purpose of “briefing”
its delegates on international af
fairs, Mrs. Tillet is fully qualified
to give information.
In reply to the question asked her
as to what part Salem could take in.
UNESCO, Mrs. Tillet reminded us
of the plan of exchanging students
with various countries. Many of
these exchanges are made possible
by funds raised in local organi
zations such as' Rotary and Lions
Clubs. There are already two thous
and American students in Europe
and it is hoped that the number
may be increased to five thousand^
Another thing that Salem could io
to help this world-wide organization
is to contribute equipment to for
eign schools. Emphasizing this need,
Mrs. Tillet stated that in some in
stances one pencil may be used by
as many as fifty students.
