Mr. E. Felix Kloman Happy Journey Chosen
Gives Series of Talks As Contest Entry
‘ ‘ The Faith by Which We Live
Was His Topic; Personal Sac
rifices Demanded During War
Last Thursday morning the Rev
erend Edward Felix Kloman, a for
mer missionary in Liberia and the
present rector of Old Christ Cliuich
in Philadelphia, began his series ot
three talks on “The Faith by Which
We Live” or “A Way of Life. He
said that since December 7 we find
ourselves in a different world, one
that demands personal sacrifices, t e
stated that those people who tor-
nierly believed humanity was ijatui-
allv progressing are now confused.
Science, that gives us power over
nature but not over ourselves, has
been emphasized at the expense o^
the other two factors of civilization,
naniely, art and morality, he assert-
Hl. Just as the Athenians’ love 0
beauty and the Puritans’ rigid rulqs
of conduct led them into df ’
so has our belief in science led us to
see our mistakes only too late. ^ •
Kloman said that real ,
come only when heart mind, body,
and spirit work together for God
and when jieople think of themselves
first as children of gi^er^
as individuals. In
ated that the only way to live to
gSier in peace and righteousness is
through faith. Tnomaii

District Dramatic Festival to be
Held at Needham Broughton
High School, March 27 and 28
Happy Journey, by Thornton
Wilder, will be the Dramatic Club’s
play entry at the District Festival
on March 27 and 28. The festival
for this district will be held at Need
ham Broughton High School.
The Carolina Dramatic Associa
tion is making a change in awards
this year. Instead of presenting a
plaque to the winner on a competi
tive basis, the association plans to
give ratings of 1, 2, 3, and 4. It will
be possible for several plays in the
same class to win a 1 rating. There
can be no “grand winner” under
this scheme, but all entries will re
ceive certificates of their award rat
ing. Those which receive a 1 rating
in the district contest may go to the
State contest at Chapel Hill.
The Happy Journey to Camden
and Trenton, by the author of Our
Toivn, has no scenery except four
chairs and a cot. According to
French’s Catalogue of Plays, it is
“the simple story of Pa and Ma and
the two children who journey from
Newark in the family Chevrolet to
visit their married daughter in Cam
den.”
When questioned about the rumors
wdiich have been flying around con
cerning a Dramatic Club surprise.
Miss Davis announced, “Well, all 1
can tell you is that the Dramatic
Club, with the idea of buying more
Defense Bonds in addition to those
taken in at Dear Brutus, is working
on a surprise that will be announced
later.”
Mrs. Gruikshank
Attends Conference
Executive Session Called in
Atlanta. Defense Resolutions
Passed by Association
Mrs. Cruikshank represented Saint
Mary’s at the first called meeting of
the Southern Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools which was
held in Atlanta on February 6 and 7.
A resolution adopted by the confer
ence was:
“In the present supreme na
tional crisis we pledge to the
President of the United States,
Commander-iu-Chief of our na
tion, the total strength of our col
leges and universities, our facul
ties, our students, our administra
tive organizations, and our physi
cal facilities. The institutions of
higher education of the United
States are organized for action,
and they offer their united power
for decisive military victory, and
for the ultimate and even more
difficult task of establishing a just
and lasting peace.”
This meeting, which included only
the representatives from junior and
senior colleges, was a sequel to the
.lanuary meeting in Baltimore. Its
purpose was to pass resolutions as to
the colleges’ part in defense efforts.
Mr. Bird Presents
Third Faculty Recital
Miss Ruth Haig, Accompanist.
Theme Was Synopsis of Differ
ent Periods in Musical History
Mr. Herbert Bird, violinist, ac
companied by Miss Ruth Haig, pian
ist, presented the third faculty re
cital of the year in Saint Mary’s
auditorium on M ednesday evening.
Mr. Bird’s ])rogram consisted of
several contrasting styles of music
representing different periods in mu
sical history. The first number, a
Sonata in D by Corelli, was made
up of four movements: Grave, Alle-
gro,_ Adagio, and Allegro. This ma
jestic sonata is the cream of the
classical period during which Corelli
lived. Since he was a contemporary
of Stradivari, it is natural that his
compositions particularly should be
adapted to the violin. The sonata
is mostly melodic, with a song-like
quality in the theme.
Concerto in G Minor by Bruch,
Mr. Bird’s second number, is repre
sentative of the romantic era of the
nineteenth century. Bruch, a con
temporary of Brahms, is best remem
bered for this violin concerto al
though he composed other works too.
The last group of pieces on the
program was also made up of con
trasts :
