'' Mary Frances Cunningham will
/open the 1957 series of sophomore
'and senior recitals February 25 at
7:30 p.m. with an organ program.
' As organist at the local Central
Terrace Methodist Church, Frankie
'already is accustomed to public
performance. She gave a freshman
recital last year under the guidance
of her teacher, John Mueller.
A day student may not be ex
pected to take an active part in
on-campus activities. But, Fyankie
'manages the vice-presidency of the
Canterbury Club and the Day Stu
dents, and the secretarial work of
the music students and the Choral
Ensemble.
Between practice hours in Me-
piorial Hall she somehow finds time
to accompany the Little Chapel
Trio and the Ensemble. To get
away from it all, Frankie runs for
the gym at 4:45 for a hot game of
basketball with the other sopho
mores.
Mary Frances may be called a
double-threat musician: an inter
preter of the classics and a player
of so-called popular music. As a
talented pianist, she won superior
ratings in high school contests
while studying with Hans Heide-
mann.
When she receives her AB de
gree with the class of 1959, Frankie
plans either to teach public school
'tmisic or enter religious education
as a career. Meanwhile she is apt
at improvising a pop tune for the
Rotary Club or playing “I Love
Aou” in the Club Dining Room
meetings.
As Mr. Peterson’s Girl Friday,
Frankie is also called on to direct
the Ensemble when Mr. Pete ia

Tomorrow is the last day of Na
tional Brotherhood Week, spon-
•ored annually by the National
Conference of Christians and Jews.
•• *‘as American as the Fourth
of July” and reminds citizens that
brotherhood can be made a normal
*nd naturcil part of everyday living.
Bernard M. Baruch says, “The
time will come, and soon I hope,
when Brotherhood Week will be a
reminder, not of the presence of
Ascrimination in our midst, but of
its eradication. Until that time, we
must, each of us, work to break
down its barrier, fight bigotry
wherever we find it and cleanse otir
hearts of blind animosity agaJnst
our fellows.”

“ . . . And the South shall rise again!” The
Old North State has helped to make this
dream come true, especially where basketball
is concerned. Today North Carolina can boast
two of the top teams in the country—Carolina
ranks No. 1 while Wake Forest is tenth.
As a Southern, Tar Heel College, Salem’s
spirit is undaunted. She has to make her
contribution to the sports world too, even if
she goes unrecognized by the United Press
poll.
No matter the oversight, Salem’s enthusiasm
reigns high. Under the direction of the Ath
letic Association the basketball tournament
next week should be exciting. Though Salem
can boast no six-footers, or gigantic coliseums,
the class teams are out for a kill.
Defending champions are the seniors, win
ners for their past three years at Salem. Var
sity members include forwards Jo Smither-
man and Anne Miles, and guard Jane Wrike.
The biggest contenders for the championship
seem to be the sophomores — determined to
win! The juniors are holding fast, while the
freshmen are going to be a threat. This will

Quincentenniel
Of Moravians
.'\s a forerunner to the Quincen-
tennial Celebration of the Moravian
Church, Dr. Edwin Sawyer, head
of the religion department will
speak in chape! Thursday and give
the Salem girls a chance to become
better acquainted with the Mora
vian influence which surrounds the
campus.
Dr. Sawyer will relate some of
the interesting events in the his
tory of the Moravian Church—the
oldest Protestant Church in con
tinual existence. Having the origi
nal Latin name, Unitus Fratrum,
the church was founded in 1475 in
Kunwald, a small village now in
Czechoslavakia. This was 50 years
before the reformation of Luther.
Leaving the mother country, the
Unitus Fratrum settled in Germany
and the members were nicknamed
Moravians since many of them had
come from Moravia.
City Participating
Since the Quincentennial is im
portant also as a marker of 500
years of Protestantism, Winston-
Salem will bear marks of the cele
bration. Scenes from the history
of the Moravians will appear in
store windows from Sear’s through
The Anchor Company. Local
libraries and schools will also carry
displays during the next few weeks.
The slogan for the occasion is
“Llonoring the past—dedicated to
the future”.
Student On Program
The highlight of the festivities
will be a public service in the
Memorial Coliseum at 3:00 on
March 3 and all Salem students
are invited to attend. The program
will include a greeting from the
Moravians in Germany by Christa
Menzel, one of Salem’s foreign
students. Also expected is a 400-
voice choir, a band with 500 play
ers, an address by Governor Luther
Hodges and the main speaker will
be Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, Presi
dent of the North Carolina Con
gress of Churches.
Other events to take place
through the year of celebration in
clude a music festival in Septem
ber under the direction of Dr. Thor
Johnson. Local churches will fea
ture special programs, music and
pageants in recognition of the anni
versary.

The U. S. Civil Service Commis
sion has recently brought the pro
spect of government jobs to atten
tion through a booklet entitled
“Federal Careers”.
The Federal Service operates on
the basis of “equal pay for equal
work.” The salary scale is there
fore based on grades made on the
required Federal Service Entrance
Examination (FSEE). Wages run
from $2,690 yearly to $16,000, de
pending upon the individual’s
classification in the competitive ex
amination.
A student desiring summer em
ployment may receive a temporary
appointment not to exceed either
130 working days yearly or com
pensation of $1,180. The nice thing
about this is that the FSEE is not
required, although the character of
prospective employees still must be
cleared in order to assure an ex
cellent staff. This character in
vestigation is made for all pros
pective employees.
Those interested in obtaining
more information may get a copy
of “Federal Careers” from Miss
Hixon, Academic Dean of Salem
College.
