Mr. Medlin will play the Saint-
Saens cello concerto at the Febru
ary concert.
Mr. Heidmann will play Beeth

It will also be the first time a
cellist has appeared with the or

Chapel Talk
(Continued from Page One)
Salem my alma mater.”
The final speaker was Miss Maria
Ines Astorga of Santiago, Chile.
Maria sold Chile to the Salemites
as a country where there are ‘‘lots
of parties and dances (samba,
tango, rhumba, and boogie-wo
ogie),” and where sports range
from skiing to sunning on the
beaches.
Maria closed by saying that she
was “so glad to be at Salem,” and
she hoped that “we will have more
opportunities to know each other
better.”
Joe King, speaking on behalf of
the Winston-Salem Symphony to
Thursday’s chapel attendants, re
marked on the lack of interest and
appreciations Americans show for
European composers’ contributions
to “great music.”
Mr. King, to illustrate the quality
of the W i n s t o n-Salem group,
played an excerpt from a selec
tion by that group between re
cordings made by the Paris Sym
phony and the Minneapolis Sym
phony.

Salemly Speaking
By Judy Williams
Here it is—the half-way mark
between the opening of school and
those longed-for Thanksgiving
holidays. Gone are the mornings
when one would lazily throw one
leg out of bed at noon, grab a
combination breakfast and lunch,
and head for the closest pool or
beach. Instead, there are the cruel
8:30’s to face on Monday morn
ings, those Friday labs until five,
and the ringing of the bell every
fifteen minutes. Life isn’t dull at
Salem by any means, though.
There is much play and sometimes
too little work—in tlie dorms, on
the campus, at Tom’s.
Lots of exciting things have hap
pened—or are being planned—from
the freshmen to the seniors. Let’s
start off first of all by congratu
lating our new May Queen, Bar
bara White, her maid of honor,
Helen Carole Watkins, and all the
members of the court.
I’d be willing to bet that there s
not a prettier or more poised group
of girls that can touch our “beau
ties”. Ann Campbell can really
entertain with her singing ask
those who waited for the votes to
be counted!
Sounds like the Carolina-Mary-
land weekend was wonderful. I
heard that the train followed
“Hazel” all the way to Washing
ton. Which reminds me—everyone
is so sorry to hear of the. “lost
cottages and damaged property left
by the storm. I can’t remember
one ever being quite that bad!
This seems to be a big week-end
from all reports. We’re sorry
Faye got so interested in “Rear
Window” that she forgot to come
back to school. Restrictions can
be fun!
Lots of girls are heading David-
son-ward; I heard that the “Lum-
berton gang” are Carolina bound.
