Choral Ensemble Forms
Separate Singing Groups
Two new singing groups com
posed of members of the Choral
Ensemble have been organized on
the Salem campus. For many years,
the Choral Ensemble has had more
invitations than it could accept.
However, since these two groups
have been formed, more engage
ments have been filled.
The “Archways” include Bradley
Carpenter, Beth Fordham, Nancy
Hughes, Landis Miller, Carol Ann
Derflinger, Susan Steere, and
Marty Richmond, accompanied by
Billie Busby. Their repertoire con
sists primarily of light music from
Broadway shows and movies. The
“Archways” made their first ap
pearance October 16 at the Credit
Club and are now preparing for
several forthcoming engagements.
The “Chapel Singers,” composed
of Gretchen Wampler, Jean King,
Ann Rothfuss, Carol Weidner,
Jackie Lamond, Kaye Shugart, Jane
Frost, and Gail Horton, concentrate
primarily on sacred music. How
ever, they eventually hope to in
clude madrigals and folk songs in
their repertoire. Most of their
singing is done “a capella.” The
“Chapel Singers” presently are pre
paring for three engagements in
December.
With Halloween Comes A Sadness;
Twentieth Century Ignores Ghosts
While Witches’ Broomsticks Wither
Married Students Find Challenge
Continued From Page 3
Maxine Crim Purdue, a junior,
has not found combining school
work and housework difficult. She
was a day student living at home
her freshman and sophomore years,
and she had responsibilities at home
equal to those she has now. Maxine,
who is taking 18 hours of work
this semester, feels that being mar
ried gives her the incentive to
prove that she can be a good stu
dent and a wife at the same time.
Representative of the married
day students with grown children
is Mrs. Alberta Huneycutt. She
was once a freshman at Duke but
left school when she married. Now
with a son in the junior class at
Duke and two daughters in high
school, Mrs. Huneycutt is finishing
her education at Salem. This is her
third year at Salem with a full load
each semester. Mrs. Huneycutt,
who says that her daughters’ help
at home is invaluable, will graduate
in January and plans to teach.
Salem’s married students have
many diverse responsibilities and
interests which require much of
their time, but they all have one
goal in common and that is to
finish their college education.

Halloween is pumpkins and wit
ches on brooms and hot chocolate
and neat piles of leaves and mid
night and ... a feeling.
It’s the one night of the year
w'hen ghosts really do appear and
black cats can bring bad luck.
Science and logic are temporarily
disregarded or replaced by black
science. Imagination reigns and in
the midst of the 20th century, skep
ticism can carry the mind over that
invisible gap between the natural
and the supernatural.
It must be that in 1963 Halloween
is a sad time, though. Witches are
withering because people laugh at
their broomsticks. Ghosts are be
coming fainter and fainter . . .
people ignore their ghosting and
pass off chain-rattling as “only the
wind.” And ghouls . . . well, ghouls
are not even remembered anymore

. . . they sit and moan in loneliness
as the forgotten demons. The black
cat has lost his dignity . . . even
children do not fear him, but rather
delight in petting him.
The saddest sight of all, however,
is the neat pile of leaves sitting
in the middle of Salem’s square,
passed daily by some 500 girls . . .
passed and ignored. What has
happened to the long forgotten
pleasures of childhood, the simple
delight in conquering 10,000 dead,
dry leaves and the firm conviction
that witches and fairies miracu
lously maintain the balance of good
and evil in the world ?
Halloween is Thursday. It’s a
time for pumpkins and witches on
broomsticks and hot chocolate and
a neat pile of leaves and midnight
. . . and a feeling.
