This year Saint Alarj^’s physical
education department is inaugu
rating a new system for achieving
awards. Heretofore a student was
‘OFF THE RECORD’
asked to be a member of the Let
ter Club if she made one all-star
team, but this year she is awarded
only a monogram for one all-star
team; now she is entitled to be a
member of the Letter Club only
when she has made two all-star
teams.
During assembly on November
twentieth. Gray Woodard, man
ager of kickball, presented mono
grams to several “belles” who
made the all-star kickball team
this season. Those who received
monograms were Christian, Hat
field, Hood, Crowder, Herty, Alice
Bell, Will, Kight, Schmidt, and
Eleanor Thomas.
Tommy Doesby: You’ve Got Me
This Way; I’d Know You Any
where. Victor 2677-A.
With the rendition of the You’ve
Got Me number, the Pied Pipers
plus the Dorsey crew offer one of
their best since the memorable I’ll
Never Smile Again. Frank Sinatra
gets sentimental on the reverse side,
and rather inconsequentially so be
cause of the trivial but tolerable
words.

Red Seal 7412-B.
The Deutscher Verein elected
officers Wednesday, November 20,
for the ’40-’41 session. Thej^ are
President, Jessica Graham; Vice-
President, Betty Thorpe; Secre
taries, Sarah Lance and Jo-Ann
Will; Social Committees, Martha
Newell and Katherine Nelson;
Chairmen, Edna Boykin, Ellen
Phleger, Bunny Stribling, Kath
leen Thomson; Treasurer, Betty
Hilker.
Starting with a slow and somber
note, the tempo of Finlandia moves
evenly toward a glorious and patri
otic finish. The music, by the fa
mous living composer, Sibelius, is
dignified, noble and most of all ma
jestic. This composition, on both
sides of a 12-inch record, will be an
asset to a record collection, whether
classical or popular.
Paul Whiteman: Rhapsody in
Blue. Victor 35822-A 12-inch.
For those of us who like good
music, who are collecting records,
or who just need an hour of re
laxation, Aliss Cate is conducting
a “listening hour” on Sunday
nights immediately after supper.
The first of these gatherings was
held week before last in the voice
studio. Come and bring your rec
ords, your knitting, your unan
swered letters. Come and listen!
The ever-favorite Gershwin Rhap
sody in Blue recorded in the inimita
ble style of the “ole master” him
self, is an e.xcellent example of the
American jazz of today. The com
poser plays the piano against the
full background of Whiteman’s con
cert orchestra. Part II, probably
the most familiar part, is truly beau
tiful music.
On November 7, Miss Helen Mc
Duffie made her debut in Atlanta,
Georgia.

The Misses Marion Jacob, Peggy
Thomson, and Lynne Mueller came
out at the Norfolk German Club
on November 15.
Now that Saint Alary’s hockey
enthusiasts have returned from the
National Hockey Matches held in
Williamsburg, Va., from Novem
ber 21-23, we record these impres
sions :
Aliss Harvey: Someday hockey
will be for women what football
is for men. Spectators already
find it as exciting and as colorful.
Hatfield: No one can criticize
hockey until they have seen such
a game as that of the U. S. Team
vs. U. S. Reserves when the sec
ond team actually triumphed over
the first with a score of 2 to 1.
Herty: I’ve never seen such a
smooth and graceful game which
still requires so much physical
stamina.
H. Bell: The thing that amazed
me is how the young girls and the
older women, even forty, were
equal in ability, endurance, and
co-operative action.
This disc, a brand new release on
which the wax is scarcely hard, has
that “punch” by which Aliller rose
to the top. In view of the current
craze for vocals by swing quartets,
these are done by the Four Modern-
aires, who really “deliver the goods.”
The tempo of Old Black Joe, sweet
and slow, puts a new slant on the
Negro spiritual.
Benny Goodman ; Let’s Dance; Boy
Meets Horn. Columbia 35301.
Though not a new release, this
record, like Chaucer, is always good
(any senior who failed to laugh is
liable to a fine). Goodman’s theme.
Let’s Dance, has become familiar
through his programs. ’Nuff said!
Chris Griffin with his trumpet solos
in Boy Meets Horn, and if you like
trumpet, you will surely like this.
Griffin plays so “hot” that the record
will probably leave you breathless
after putting everything in the trum
pet solo.
Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin K. Las
siter announce the marriage of
their daughter, Letty, to Air. Lynn
Wilder. The wedding will take
place on December 28, at Oxford.
Miss Florence Beckwith Lock-
wood, daughter of Air. and Airs.
William G. Lockwood, will make
her debut at the Florida Yacht
Club in Jacksonville, Florida, on
November 30.
Old Girls who have visited Saint
Alary’s recently are: Virginia Wil
liams, Peggy Parsley, Janet James,
Alarguerite Crow, Joyce Powell,
Alartha Blythe, Toddy Boykin, and
Alargaret Jordan Young.
