sonatas: “Opus 5, No. 1”, “Opus 69
in A Major”, and “Opus 102, No.

the theme of Mozart will be pre
sented.
In New York and other large
cities it is not unusual for an en
tire program to consist of cycles
of one composer’s works, but it
will be a unique experience for
Winston-Salem—and for the South
—to hear this musical series.
This will be the first time that

situation in an opera. Whenever
the situation or character comes
into action, the melody enters the
score.

is Dvorak’s most famous extensive
use of American Negro spiritual
melodies.

Bulletin Board Committee
ior’s gift to Salem. It is, perhaps,
the one time when underclassmen
can glimpse the true character of
the so-called dignified seniors as
they cut loose to entertain us with
an evening of comedy.
This year’s theane pokes fun at
various departments at Salem Col
lege, using the medium of “edu
cational” television as a basis of
unity for the various skits. Betsy
Hicks portrays a rather insipid
T. V. announcer who narrates the
program and introduces the in
evitable commercials.
The script was written by Jo
hanna Johnson and Eleanor Quick,
who have also produced and di
rected the entire show. They
have been assisted by Mr. Bray,
who directs the Common Glory in
Virginia every summer.
Linda Smith is in charge of pub
licity for the production. Tickets
are being handled by Winnie Bath,
who has announced that they will
sell for fifty cents to students and
visitors alike.
Every senior is a member of the
cast and will at one time or an
other be on stage. Who knows ?
Perhaps your favorite senior will
appear in the guise of Pitiful Pearl
or E. E. Spasmodic!
Freshmen Elect Wales Temporary Pres.
Janet Wales, Freshman Class Chairman
During a meeting held October
3, the class of 1965 elected its tem
porary class officers. The newly-
elected officers are: Janet Wales,
chairman; Sandra Morgan, vice-
chairman ; and Diane Shull, secre
tary-treasurer.
The chairman, as leader of the
freshman class, will have many
duties. She will be responsible for
posting announcements of class
meetings, presiding over these
meetings, a nM participating and
helping in the organization of class
projects. She attends weekly Legis
lative Board meetings, meets with
the other class officers, and serves
as a link between her class and
the student government. Because
the office of temporary chairman
is so important, the qualifications
are high. She must be able to or
ganize hei; time well and to make
her class a united one.
The vice-chairman is an auto
matic representative to Judicial
Board and presides at class meet
ings when the chairman is absent.
The duties of the secretary-trea
surer are to keep the minutes of
all class meetings and to handle
the budget.
Louisa Freeman, president of the
junior class, acted as freshman
class president until temporary of
ficers were elected. Permanent
class officers are to be chosen in
approximately a month.
* * *
The freshmen have elected Janet
Wales as their chairman, pro tem
pore. This 5’5” sociology major is
from Jacksonville, Florida.
Although she has only been here
a few weeks, Janet has some defi
nite ideas about Salem. For in
stance, it didn’t take her long to
decide that she doesn’t like her
five 8:30 classes. She does like
dorm life and all it involves—hav
ing a “roomie” and getting to know
many different girls well. She has
already discovered the tradition at
Salem of gaining weight the first
month and spending the other eight
trying to lose it.
When asked what she thought
about the Honor Tradition, Janet,
like most freshmen, said she looked
at it idealistically. Although she
did see potential weaknesses in it,
the fact that the Honor Tradition
might not be completely effective
did not occur to her until the
upperclassmen arrived and the ob
jective analysis of the Tradition
began. She also said that she feels
the Tradition does need basic re
vision and that one of its faults is
that it doesn’t give the students a
chance to mature. She especially
doesn’t like the limited number of
overnights granted to freshmen.
Janet likes Salem. She thinks
that one of the advantages of being
at a small school is the personal
contact. . She has found that the
students are quite friendly to each
other, and that it is sincere friend
liness which might not be found
at a larger school.
Janet spent this past summer
teaching swimming. Las^ year she
wrote for her hometown newspaper
and was editor of her high school
yearbook.
