Dr. Gramley
Goes To Press
It has been called to the atten
tion of the editors that the abilities
of a local man have been greatly
underrated.
During a recent period of trying
times Dale H. Gramley proved
himself invaluable in the field of
mimeographing. His subject was
Examinations, and his performance
was above reproach. Each copy, a
vertiable masterpiece, was immacu
lately printed as it rolled off the
press.
Those desiring the services of
Dale Gramley are asked to notify
the office immediately in order to
be placed on the waiting list.

Tom Scott
Entertains
With Ballads
“I am sure this will be more in
teresting than Charles Laughton.
If you should happen to learn
something, don’t hold it against
me.”
Tom Scott created an informal
atmosphere with this opening state
ment in Memorial Hall Tuesday
night. Mr. Scott substituted on
the Lecture Series for Charles
Laughton. He presented a pro
gram of twenty-four ballads.
Plays Guitar
The program was divided into
four parts: work songs, ballads,
folk songs, and religious songs.
Before each group he explained
the origin and meaning of the
songs to the audience. He accom
panied himself on the guitar. ^
.A.mong the best known of fiis
numbers were “The Big Rock
Candy Mountain,” “Wandering,”
and “Barbara Allen.” The ballad
of reconstruction days in the South,
“For I’m A Good Old Rebel,” re
ceived the greatest ovation from
the audience.
Born in central Kentucky, Mr,
Scott spent his youth on his
father’s farm. He is firstly a corn
poser and secondly an interpreter
of folk songs. At one time he had
his own dance band. He was once
with Fred Waring. Mr. Scott was
choral director for the Broadway
play, "Brigadoon.”
Salem students and faculty were
surprised to see their lecturer with
white hair and beard. His pictures
on the posters showed him as a
brunette. The beard was grown
in preparation for a series of tele
vision programs. Mr. Scott will
make 39 films to be shown on tele
vision next summer. The title of
the series is “The Tales of Robin
Hood,” in which he plays the
troubadour.
Goes to Germany
In 1948 Mr. Scott was sent to
Germany by the U. S. Government
in a concert series for the German
people. He has played in New
York cafe society and Carnegie
Hall.
Deveiepment of the American
ballad may be traced to an origin
in the British Isles. Many older
American ballads were brought to
Kentucky and the Carolinas by
word of mouth. Few if any changes
have been made. Mr. Scott said
that many of these ballads were
not preserved in England.
