PA6£ SIX T H E T -W I 0 Interviewing Sigmund Spaeth By FRANCES PlTTMAJf Atter ten mlnutea of giving auto graphs, Sigmund Spaeth was glad to glTd an interview just for the change and tor the sake o{ tala writer’s cramp. Since the interview was given on the stage of the auditorium and both stage and auditorium were almost full of people, the interview had the nature of a free-tor-all rather than a conft* dential affair. Notwithstanding posi tive animation and ehthusiasm were Mr. Spaeth's and there was enough to go around. He told us that he has been tune de* tecting for about ten years. Front I^rstting the sport for his own enjoy ment, he branched out and flnaliy be gan broadcasting. Another branching out was in the field of writing and Mr. Spaeth will complete his latest book, Stories of the World's Great Music, this summer. Besides bis writing and tais lectures, Mr. Spaeth appears in law suits. He has Just successfully de fended Nino Martini and Twentieth Century in a suit which was brought against them for the tune, “Midnight In Paris” froiU Bere’a To Romance. As a boy Mr. Spaeth studied the violin, which he seldom plays now. After attending Haverford College, In 1910 he received his Ph.D. degree from Princeton where he was professor for some years. Ha studied violin again at the Philadelphia Music Academy. Asked for his opinion of contem porary American composers, Mr. Spaeth rated George Gershwin as the best. He thinks very highly of his Porgy and Bess and considers his piano “Concerto” the best of modern Amer ican compositions. In originality he considers Cole Porter, who has disap pointed only in repeating his “Night and Day” about six times, next to Gershwin. Hoogy Carmichael Is at the top In originality too, he thinks. His “Stardust" Is truly great, accord ing to Mr. Spaeth and according to his Interviewers too for that matter. Lastly, Mr. Spaeth heard Emily Bethune and Bill Barnard play Emily's “Lonely," which he thought a very good tune. Then he rejoined Mr. Celey, who had requested a lecture on the popular song and who was pa tiently awaiting the desisting of our questions.

Oh The Juriior-Senlor Banquet Hy MART STVAKT The junior-senior banquet was given Friday night, April 16, at the Sir Wal ter Hotel in the Virginia Dare ball- room. This year marked the (Irst time that the junior-senior has ever taken place off the college campus. For this reason, with permission from home the couples were allowed to ride down to the banquet in cars. Upon entering Hotel Sir WaitMr around eight o'clock oh that particular evening, a stranger might have been impressed with the number of girls In evening gowns of many colors accent ed by the tuxedos of the young men, against the setting of marble stair ways and the overhanging mezzanine. Adding a touch of sophistication to the scene were several distinguished per sons, among whom were Dr. and Mrs. Brewer, Dean and Mrs. Boomiiour, Miss Steele and Miss Clark, Miss Poteat, and Dr. Price. After checking our wraps we went into the ballroom where there were long banquet tables, lighted by tall white tapers, and having centerpieces of roses, snapdragons, and sweet peas. By each place was a program and place card, both bearing the Meredith seal. Shoulder corsages were found by the place of every girl for favors. The program of the evening, for which Billy Darst's orchestra played popular music, was as follows; Trio—Marjorie McFadden, Virginia Trostel, Nancy Brewer; solo—Mayes Bebrman; dance—Margaret Callahan; quartet—Sloane Guy, David Morgan, Eugene Worrell, Bruce Steeves; solo —Carolyn Critcher. During the program, several toasts, carrying out the spirit of the Irish sweepstakes, were given in this order: Welcome, Margaret O'brian; to the girls, Anne Poteat; response, Frances Pittman; to Dr, Brewer, Margaret Grayson: response, Dr.,Brewer; to Miss Steele, Hazel Bass; response, Miss Steele; to the boys, Kate Mills Suiter; response, PerCivail Perry. “After the ball was over” we re turned to Meredith, wishing that the next day was Sunday instead of Sat urday.

The courts are used from early morn ing until dark at night. Many of the girls And it very enjoyable to play after dinner, and since the days are longer now this can be very easily done. If you don’t have a tennis racket or balls of your own, there are some in the athletic room which are for your use. Mr. Newnham is stilt giving golf instructions on Monday. Monday, April 26, there were'thirteen girls out for lessons. Next Monday the last lesson wilt be given. The manager, Margie Thomas, feels that the girls have made great improvements since their first lesson in February.. It seems that the girls are learning bow to throw a baseball without hit ting the batter, and how to catch a ball (if one happens to be hit). The fresh man class still has the largest num ber of girls out for practice. The bicycles are still in good con dition and ready for you to ride on these beautiful days.
