Alma Young, Betty Gaither, ,,^land Frenchie McCann (all ’44) visited Saint Marv’s the week-end Raleigh’s Civic Music Association presented its outstanding concert program of the year February 12 when the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted and directed by Eugene Ormandy, played in the Memorial Auditorium. Long considered one of the world’s finest and most enjoyed orchestral groups, the Philadelphia Orchestra was first organized in 1757; how ever, the present group was organ ized in 1900. During all of its long career, the orchestra has had only four permanent conductors: Fritz Scheel, Carl Pohlig, Leopold Sto kowski, and Mr. Ormandy. Mr. Ormandy is Hungarian and spent his childhood in his native country, but his musical career has centered almost entirely in this country. His masterful conducting of a magnifi cent orchestra is enhanced by the fact that he never uses a musical score. The program consisted of an Or mandy arrangement of a Bach Cho rale, Franck’s Symphony in D Minor, Wagner’s booming Sieg fried’s Rhine Journey from “Gotter- dammerung,” Kennan’s short Night Soliloquy, and Enesco’s Rumanian Donald Peery gave the first fac ulty piano recital of the year Friday, February 16, in Saint Mary’s Me morial Auditorium. His program was w’ell-balanced and consisted of compositions by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Prokofieff, Debussy, and Strauss. In response to an appre ciative audience Mr. Peery played several encores which emphasized the technical piossibilities of the piano, instead of the familiar favor ites for which the audience hoped. In this recital, Mr. Peery proved his ability at the piano. His play ing was skillful and interpretation beautiful. The Beethoven Sonata and Strauss’ Soiree de Vienne were undoubtedly the audience’s favorites. Rhapsody Humber I, Opus 11, which was a fitting end for a bril liant performance. The audience was disappointed that Mr. Ormandy declined to give any encores, but the perfection and unity of the program and its presentation more than made up for the lack of encores. * CAMPUS NCTES ★ icier i^Saipan, with the Second IVIariiie jDivision, spoke in assembly this morning. e Jof February 10. ^ ^ ^ ^ Mrs. Graham Whitehead (nee 0 ‘’ Mary Betty Suiter, ’43) visited .the campus Februarv 17. .>co(j * # ; ^ ^ “IjI Jane Lewis attended the wed- T’l'ding of her brother, Lt.
