Choral Ensemble Begins Season, Awaits Record By Ann Cunningham In spite of publicity received by “nightly intruders”, Salem College also has other various and sundry ways of obtaining publicity, this being through organizations such as I the Choral Ensemble. For the benefit of new students, the Choral Ensemble is composed of many music students and other students who have an interest in singing and having a good time. The Choral Ensemble will make its first major public appearance Nov. 22, at the Friedland Moravian Church. In December they plan to perform for Wake Forest College at tone of their chapel programs and also for the Civitan Club. On Wednesday, Dec. 16, the Choral Ensemble will give its Christmas program in chapel. This year they will Sing a variety of songs including everything from a Bach Cantata to a French Christ mas Carol. The first is a Bach Oratorio, “Break Forth, O Beaut ous Heav’nly Light”, and the se cond number a cantata by Bach, “For us a Child is Born”. The French Christmas carol, “Noel Nou velet,” is arranged by E. Harold Geer and “A Joyous Christmas Song” is taken from the “Collec tion de Choeurs” by L. A. Gevaert The Little Chapel sextet will also perform and there will be a, Lue- bech cantata done as a duet. The chorus made a recording last year of numerous songs to be put in a record album. This tape was sent to New York and everyone hopes that the albums will be ready before Christmas, so we can all purchase them for Christmas presents. They are extremely good and everybody is urged to hear them. As you have seen, the Choral En semble will be pretty busy through out the rest of the year.

The Wake Forest Chamber Music Society will present the Alfred Del- ler Trio in the Magnolia Room of Reynolds Hall at 8:30 on Decem ber 2. . Mr. Deller is one of two living counter tenors. The counter tenor vocal range is about the same as that of a contralto. Sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth century choirs were all male, and the con tralto part had to be sung by cast- rati until Mendelssohn began com posing for the contralto voice. Re puted to be a true voice, but more probably a highly developed falset to, the counter tenor is being re vived for use in authentic record ings and performances of early music. 1949^ Mr. Deller formed a group of’ singers and instrumen talists into the Deller Consort and began touring and ' recording that year- nj- For his United States tour, Mr. Deller has to cut the Consort to three people, himself, Desmond Dupre who plays the lute and viol da gamba, and Robert Conant, harpsichordist.

The YWCA with the cooperation of the Salem students and faculty collected 180 pounds of clothing and $150. to send to Nagoya, Japan fol lowing a request from Salem alum- an, Mrs. Oscar M. Marvin, Jr. Reprinted herein are excerpts from a letter from Mr. Marvin, hospital administrator of the Yodo- gawa Christian Hospital, written to Salem through Miss Marsh, alum nae secretary. In viewing reconstruction crews after the typhoon, Mr. Marvin con tinues to say; “Speaking for Japanese Christ ians in general and the Yodogawa Christian Hospital in particular, Jane and I certainly do want to express our deep gratitude to you and the Salem College students and faculty members for their generous contributions of warm clothing and money in support of the Christian relief services for the victims of Japan’s most disastrous typhoon. “Through your interest and simi lar kindness of many others, our Christian Medical Team began pro viding medical aid Oct. 6, 1959. Sincp then they have been able to expand their services to include the establishment of a milk station for hundreds of Japanese boys and girls, the distribution of new shoes and warm undershirts to over ITO primary school children and the further distribution of a bountiful supply of relief clothing from con tributions received from Japan as well as many other countries.” “One of the most enlightening comments came from the lips of a man of 60 who said. Seeing all these youngsters working so hard and so willingly has certainly changed my impression about our younger generation, and they are the ones who are doing most ot the work!” The work continues and will continue for months more to come for there are yet many [acres of land and villages which still are filled with sterile sea water. The 1959 Typhoon season is over, but the ravages of “the big one” will long affect the economy of Nagoya and neighboring communi ties. “Thanks again for your willing ness to participate in the greatest opportunity for Christian service in Japan.” Oscar M. Marvin, Jr., Hosp. Administ. Magazine Staff Conducts Poll The literary magazine staff elec ted Nancy Jane Carroll editor-in- chief and Susan Hughes business manager at a meeting on Monday. All other staff members are selected by the editordn-ch'ief. In chapel on Wednesday a ques tionnaire was passed out to gauge student interest in having a literary magazine. Of the 196 students re turning the questionnaire, only 3 were against the idea of having a magazine. There were 168 students who favored financing a literary magazine through the budget in the future as opposed to 12 who -were against, with 5 students undecided on this question. Fifty-six students are interested in writing for a liter ary magazine. The art department, under direc tion of department head, Edwin Shewmake, now has a collection of Japanese woodcut prints on exhibit in the north wing stairwell of Main Hall and on the third floof of Me morial Hall. Any student or faculty member interested in obtaining one of these low priced prints may sign a sheet provided on a clipboard in the win dow of Main Hall’s north stairwell. 'In cases where someone has already signed up for a specific picture, duplicate copies can be ordered. Mr. Shewmake plans to, place this second order just before Christmas vacation in order for the prints to arrive here the first week in Janu ary. These Japanese woodcuts are re prints of 17th century cuts. The designs were cut into the wood, printed on paper and then colored by hand. Mr. Shewmake surmises that these are modern reproduc tions of the original blocks. In the corners of the paintings are letters of the painter’s signa ture and the red seal of the owner. Whistler took this form of signa ture and created the distinctive butterfly which can be seen on his painting in Main Hall. Whistler and the French Impres sionist school were highly influen ced by these Japanese woodcuts. They studied with particular care 'the works of Hiroshige (1797-1858), some of which are hanging here. On the backs of the prints the painters’ names appear, printed in English with their dates. Japanese woodcuts “had as much as anything to do with the break in the Renaissance art tradition,” Mr. Shewmake comments. “One reason for showing them is that the modern art movement is influenced so strongly by such prints.” Freshmen Will Present Dr. Depp Announcement Dr. Mark Depp, who is the Minister of Centenary Methodist Church and the author of several books, will .speak in Assembly on Nov. 23. Dr. Depp’s subject is entitled “Thanksgiving.” This will be the last Assembly program before the holidays and is sponsored by the Freshman Y.
