USICAL
URMURINGS
By Kathy Lewis
The Meredith student body
was privileged last evening to
hear a recital by one of the
greatest organists of today. The
recital was given by Virgil Fox,
organist of the Riverside Church
in New York City. Mr. Fox has
studied in the United States and
Europe under the greatest
masters, and rose to success at a
very early age. He is noted for
his unusual ability to please the
ordinary man as well as the
trained musician at his concerts.
His program last night consisted
of works by Handel, Bach,
Franck, Mendelssohn, Monfred,
and Dupre. This recital was the
first in the series of Meredith
College concerts for the year.
The formation of the new
music fraternity on our campus.
Sigma Alpha Iota, has been
of interest to the Meredith
students. I think that we should
be proud that such a fraternity
now exists on our campus. S.A.I.
was the first honorary music
fraternity founded. Members
must have a high scholastic
rating to be eligible. The frater
nity now has approximately
ninety chapters in the United
States.
The installation of the Mere
dith chapter was held Friday
and Saturday, January 14 and
15. Visiting our campus on these
days were two national frater
nity officers, Mrs. Mildred Sale
of Fort Worth, Texas, and Miss
Emily Garrett of Waycross,
Georgia, and several former
S.A.I. members from High Point,
Sanford, and Chapel Hill. The
installation service was held on
Friday. Saturday morning the
visiting officers held conferences
with the dean of women, dean of
the college, dean of music, and
local chapter officers. Saturday
evening a buffet supper was
given for the newly installed
chapter at the home of Dr.
Lillian P. Wallace. Before being
initiated into the fraternity each
member had to pass a written
examination on S.A.I. material.
The officers of the Meredith
Chapter are president, Dorothy
Patrick; vice-president, Char
lotte Bowman; secretary. Sue
Jarvis; treasurer, Dorothy Allen;
editor, Frances Smith; chaplain,
Betty Compton; sergeant-at-
arms, Susan Graham; program-
chairman, Jean Olive. There are
nineteen members of the chapter.
Sponsors for the chapter are
Miss Catherine Lake of Peace
College, Miss Geraldine Cate of
Saint Mary’s, and Miss Rachel
Rosenberger of Meredith. Pa
tronesses are Mrs. Harry E.
Cooper, Dr. Lillian P. Wallace,
and Mrs. Carlyle Campbell.
A group of Meredith voice
students had the pleasure of at
tending a concert Monday night,
January 10, given by Leonard
Warren at Duke University. Mr.
Warren is the leading baritone
of the Metroplitan Opera and is
now in his ninth season with this
association. He is also well
known as a concert, radio, and
record star. He possesses one of
the most famous voices of this
generation, and the Meredith
students felt indeed fortunate in
hearing him. The group was ac
companied by Miss Beatrice
Donley and Miss Ruth Woodman
of the music faculty.
Today the “Group of Nine”
held its first engagement since
the holidays. They rendered a
musical program at the weekly
meeting of the Kiwanis Club.
The next faculty recital pre
sented by the music department
will be given by Mr. David
Wilmot, tenor. The recital will
be Friday evening, February 11,
in the college auditorium.
THINGS COULD BE VERSE
There was a line, a mighty line
Before the Commons door,
And Willie, waiting for his lunch
Was Number Twenty Four.
But Number Three had twelve
good friends.
And Number Eight, eleven.
While Willie found to his
surprise
He now was Forty Seven.
And tho the people far up front
Were moving quite a lot
The longer Willie stood in line
The farther back he got.
This struck the boy as mighty
silly
But lunchtime never came for
Willie.

and children—and lots and lots of servants!”
‘You're wrong about the servants. I live in
a 6-room house, and balance a budgetl”
‘But, Madam, you have servants to help you in every
room/ And you pay them very little, indeed. You
have a servant to assist with your laundry. Another to
help cook your meals. A third to protect your tood. A
fourth to clean. More to heat and light your home,
and entertain you when you’re bored. You have elec
trical servants, Madam—the most willing and depend
able servants m the world!”
“Of course, I hove electricity but I never
thought—”
“This army of domestic help costs you less than a bottle
of milk a day! So you see electric service is not only
high in efficiency, it’s low in cost! Twenty years ago
the average family got only halt as much electric ser
vice for the money as it gets today. And think how
many more jobs electricity does around the house in
1947! Yes, Madam, yours is a very good fortune,
indeed!”
