Eileen Farrell, Metropolitan Opera Star,
Will Present Concert April Seventeenth
The Winston-Salem Civic Music
Association will present Eileen
Farrell, Metropolitan Opera Star,
in a concert at Reynolds Auditor
ium on Monday, April .17, at 8:30
p.m.
Miss Farrell, who has been called
the greatest artist in the super
soprano category, was first heard in
a CBS radio series, “Songs of the
Century.” Later, she starred in her
own radio program which con
tinued for five years. During the
1947-48 season she undertook her
first extensive concert tour. It was
so successful that each year she
gives an average of sixty concerts
in the United States and Canada.
In the fall of 1950 she gave her
first Carnegie Hall Concert, and
afterwards sang 55 performances
in two weeks at Broadway’s Roxy
Theatre with the New York Phil
harmonic. Miss Farrell has ap
peared with orchestras conducted
by Bruno Walter, Eugene Or-
mandy, and Toscanini. When Mar
jorie Lawrence’s biography “Inter
rupted Melody” was filmed, Eileen
Farrell sang the musical selections
used.
Although Miss Farrell had sung
the title roles in many operas
staged throughout the United
States, it was not until this past
fall that she made her Met Opera
debut in the title role of Gluch’s
“Alceste.”
Eileen Farrell was asked to be a
cultural ambassadoress in 1957 by
singing for the inauguration of
West Berlin’s new Congress Hall.
It, was not until this past summer
that she was able to return to
Europe and accept the invitations
to perform which were received
after her appearance in West Ber
lin.
In private life, Eileen Farrell is
Mrs. Robert Reagen and the
mother of two children.
Not all the Farrell news was
made in the classical field. She
once replaced the seriously ill
Louis Armstrong at a jazz festi
val Singing a jazz number, “On
the Sunny Side of the Street,”
with the Armstrong Band, she not
only left the audience flabbergasted
at her amazing vocal versatility,
but also prompted jazz trombonist
Trummy Young to comment: “That
gal is just wasting her time with
the long hairs.”
Next Wednesday, April 19, the
North Carolina State Legislature
will spend the day in Winston-
Salem. The entire Legislature, both
houses, will hold a general as
sembly in Memorial Coliseum

Square, Governor Sanford and the
party will be welcomed by William
F. Womble, President of the Win
ston-Salem Chamber of Commerce.
Charles B, Wade, Jr,, President of
Old Salem, Inc., will speak to the
legislature.
Salem College will serve coffee
and sugar cake to the men in the
square. In case of rain, coffee will
be served in Corin Refectory.
The legislature will then tour a
small part of Old Salem and leave
promptly at 11:15.
Winston-Salem will become “cap-
itol for a day” as the legislature
holds a 30 minute session begin
ning at 12:10 in the Coliseum. At
least one bill will be passed—prob
ably one of “grateful appreciation”
to the city of Winston-Salem.
Mrs. Phillip Lucas, President of
the Forsyth County Democratic
Women, has invited all interested
students (Democratic or Republi
can) to attend the session and see
the assembly in action. Salem has
been invited to sit in reserve sec

New Stee Gee Officers
Installed ]n Assembly
New officers of the Student
Government were installed during
assembly, April 6. Out-going Pre
sident Churchill Jenkins expressed
her appreciation to all students
who had worked with the Legis
lative or Judicial Boards during
the year, and she concluded her
speech with the statement, “To the
entire student body, I want to
, thank you for giving me the oppor
tunity to hold the position of Pre
sident of your Student Govern
ment.” Churchill then administered
the oath of office to incoming Pre
sident Sallie Paxton.
In her first speech as President
of Student Government, Sallie
pointed to three changes which she
thinks will result in a spirit oi
unity at Salem, “The first is a
change in outlook toward the Stu
dent Government itself . . . second
is a change of attitude toward the
rules and regulations . . . third is
a change of attitude toward per
sonal integrity.”
After Sallie’s speech, the other
Student Government officers were
installed by the outgoing officers.
Sallie Paxton And Dean Major Leave
June 21 For Study Abroad In Oslo
On June 21, Sallie Paxton and
Dean Major, 1961 winners of the L.
Corrin Strong Grants to study at
the International Summer School
at Oslo, Norway, will leave New
York on the S. S. Stravangerfjord.
Sallie and Dean were selected to
study in Oslo by a faculty commit
tee on the basis of papers which
they wrote on The Image of
America Abroad, and One Problem
that you’d be Asked About Abroad.
They were also judged on their
academic records, seriousness of
purpose, other personal qualifica
tions, and health. The alternates,
as announced in chapel by Dr.
Gramley, are Linda Leaird and
June Beck.
Every year since 1954, the Honor
able L. Corrin Strong, former Am
bassador to Norway, and former
trustee of Salem College and Aca
demy, has awarded scholarships to
a rising junior and a rising senior
of $800 each, which provides for
travel and other expenses at the
University of Oslo.
Sallie, a religion major, is this
year’s president of the junior class,
and newly elected president of Stu
dent Government. Dean is pre
sently N S A Coordinator and has
been elected secretary of Student
Government for next year. All
students are required to take a
survey course in Norwegian Cul
ture, but have individual choice of
other courses (Norwegian litera
ture, art, and political institutions,
for example). Week-end tours
through Norway are provided dur
ing the six weeks of summer school
and there is a long week-end after
mid-semester exams for touring.
Sallie’s thesis in the paper sub
mitted to the faculty committee,
“To destroy the present image of
America which exists abroad and
to create a new image, America
should be viewed as a country will
ing in any instance to uphold lib
erty and act justly at any cost. The
image of America should be one of
a peaceful nation, willing to explore
the possibility to better world re
lationships”, reflects the growing
attitude in America shown in Pre
sident Kennedy’s Peace Corps, and
in Salem’s project to support re
fugee students abroad.
