DOROTHY MAYNOR
PRESENTS BRILLIANT
VOCAL CONCERT
Audience Greatly Enjoys Mag
nificent Performance
Dorothy Maynor, famous Negro
singer, presented a magnificent con
cert at the Raleigh Memorial xVudi-
torium on Saturday evening, No
vember 3, at eight p.m.
The first section of the program
consisted of two contrasting compo
sitions by Handel, Gmnunda’s aria
from Oitone, and Rodelmda’s aria
from Eodelinda.
In the next group of selections
were Chani Be Poregon by Milhaud,
a very “different sounding” piece
with a captivating melody, and
Mandoline, Les Berceaux, and Fleur
Jetee, all by Paure.
In the next part of the program
were two selections from Brahms,
Auf Bern. Schiffe and Feldeinsam-
l-eif, and two from Strauss, Stand-
clien, one of his most beautiful com
positions, and Winterliehe. For an
encore, the performer sang Brahms’
Lullahy.
II est doux, il est hon by Massenet
made up the fifth part. This_ very
tuneful selection was beautifully
rendered. Dorothy Maynor sang
Ave Marie as an encore.

She Resigns as Assembly Chair
man and Mu President
Carolyn DesChamps, of Spartan
burg, South Carolina, was elected
vice-president of the student body
October 30, to succeed Susan Ash-
hurn Bedsole of Virginia Beach,
Virginia.
Before coming to Saint Mary’s,
Carolyn graduated from Spartan
burg High School where she was
editor of the school annual, a mem
ber of the Beta Club, and a member
of the hall council. At Saint Mary’s
she has been very outstanding. She
is a member of the Y.W.C.A., Pub

Political Science Club, and Art
Club. Last year at Saint Mary’s
she made all-star hockey team and
volleyball team and was the badmin
ton champion of the year. She was
elected president of the Mu’s and
chairman of assembly but her recent
election forces her to give up these
two offices.
When asked what she said upon
hearing the news, Carolyn replied,
“I was speechless, but happy.”
Borge Cuts Up
Danish-born Victor Borge, pianist
accompanied by his concert orches
tra, presented an unusual program
at the Memorial Auditorium Octo
ber 30. Saint Mary’s students who
did not attend the humorous, yet
beautiful concert, missed a perform
ance that received well-deserved
praise.
Hpon entering the auditorium,
we received a program which “was
subject to change”; that’s what it
said at the bottom of the page. In
stantly we knew that we were in
for an enjoyable evening. After
reading the program more thorough
ly, we wondered if Borge had writ
ten it himself for, halfway down
the page was printed, “Brahms IaiI-
lahy by guess who?” and “Polo
naise (Yes, the popular one!).”
This was rather confusing at first,
hut it did not make a bit of differ
ence because after the concert began
with Addinzell’s lovely Warsaw Con
certo, Borge threw away the pro
gram and played what he wanted
and what the audience wanted.
Most of us have heard Victor
(let’s call him that for short) on
the radio. You know how funny he
is, hut he was three times funnier
in person, especially when he asked
the audience if they liked good mu
sic. Naturally, they answered yes;
whereupon, he threw a sheet of mu
sic into their faces. Then he sat
down to play the 2Iinnte Waltz by
Choj)in, a piece that “his sister had
taught him. when he was young.” In
the middle, he stopped, got up,
shrugged his shoulders, and sighed,
“Oh, well, she was only my half-
sister!” A little later, he sat on the
piano keys to make the notes come
out louder, and he fell flat on his
face when he missed striking a key
that wasn’t there.
After cutting iip, to everybody’s
delight, Victor and the orchestra
played some beautifiil music, music
that the audience knew and loved.
Among the selections were: Waltz
in C Sharp 2Iinor, Grieg’s Concerto,
a combination of Strauss and Schu
bert’s compositions which was called
Blue Serenade by Struhert, Begin
the Beguine, Clair de Lime, Rhap
sody in Blue, Bixie, Stardust, Ole
2Ian River, Boogie Woogie, and
Liehesfrauni.
Raleigh enjoyed Victor Borge and
his orchestra simply because they
let their hair down. Perhaps if
more artists acted naturally, they
and their concerts would be received
with more enthusiasm.
JUNIORS STAGE
HALLOWE’EN JAMBOREE
IN GYMNASIUM
Quintuplets Win First Prize;
Carmen Miranda’s, Second
The junior class gave a Hallo
we’en party for the rest of the
school on Friday night, November
2. The party was held in the gym
at eight-thirty, and quite a va
riety of ghosts, wdtehes, pirates,
gypsies, and other traditional Hal-
lowe’en-ites appeared.
The Dionne Quintuplets took
first prize in the costume parade.
Jane Oampbell, Kathryn Pulton,
Sally Lee, Helen Mardre, and
Dolly Redwine were the Quints,
escorted by Alama Dabney Little
and Papa Poncie Dawson. Ihvo
lively monkeys made their appear
ance, accompanied by an.organ-

Miss Tucker and Miss Morrison
as the monkeys and Mrs. Brough
ton as the organ-grinder. All of
the costumes showed originality,
for instance, the Three Blind
Mice and the Walking Tree
Tnudfs.
For the entertainment of their
guests, the Juniors had prepared
booths for apple-bobbing, weight
guessing, penny-pitching, fortune-
telling, plus the added thrill of a
