Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Baxter
Hinkle received the blessings of the
church in a benediction ceremony at
the Church of the^Good Shepherd at
5 :00 in the afternoon of February 3.
The couple were joined in matri
mony by civil authority last April
1. The Rev. James McDowell Dick
pronounced the blessings.
Mrs. Hinkle, who is the former
Libba Dorris of Raleigh and a for
mer student at Saint Mary’s, was
escorted to the altar by the Rev.
William L. Gatling. She wore a
gown of candlelight satin with a
bertha of heirloom lace. Her bou
quet of white spray orchids, white
lilacs, and white roses was centered
with a white orchid.
Ann Dorris was her sister’s maid
of honor and Mary Louise, the
youngest sister, was junior hrides-
maid. Bridesmaids were Genie
Smith of Raleigh and Ann Dwyer of
New Orleans, classmates of the
bride at Saint Mary’s. They all
wore identical gowns of champagne
tulle and gold lame.
The honorary bridesmaids were
Miss Martha Combs, Peggy John
ston, Juliet Fulghum, Elizabeth Mo
ran, Sue Ann Sadler, and Rebecca
Hinkle.
Dan’s best man was his oldest
■ brother, David Hinkle. Ushers were
Stoney Hinkle, Van Williams, Rob
ert Sheppard, David Carmichael,
Caldwell Ragan, and Ben Lackey.
Libba attended Needham Brough
ton High School before coming to
Saint Mary’s. She was a third-year
student here, having graduated from
high school last year at which time
she received her Speech Certificate.
She was a member of the Beacon,
Sigma Pi Alpha, and president of
Orchesis.
Dan is from Winston-Salem and
attended N. C. State College, where
he was a member of the Kappa Sig
ma fraternity.
Immediately following the cere
mony the couple left for^ a trip.
Upon their return they will_ make
their home in Greensboro until Dan
is called to active duty in the Sea-
bees.
The Raleigh Civic Music Asso
ciation presented Lauritz Melchior
in the Memorial Auditorium Fri
day, January 26.
At a press conference before the
concert Mr. Melchior gave a brief
summary of his life in opera and of
the program he would present that
night.
Mr. Melchior came to America
in 1926 when the Metropolitan
Opera Company engaged him to
play the old father in_ Traviata.
Since then he has sung in the Met
515 tunes. In his spare time he
sings between 95 and lOo conceits^a
year. Now, between concerts, radio
programs, and benefits, he has no
time to rehearse. However, he told
the reporters that if he hadn’t learn
ed to sing by now he never would.
Next to singing, Mr. Melchior’s
favorite pastime is big-game hunt
ing. He has already been on sev
eral safaris in xVfrica, and his vic
tims include an elephant from whose
hair he had a bracelet made and a
leapard whose skin his wife now
wears as a coat.
When asked whether he would
ever teach, Mr. Melchior replied,
“Only in a school for young opera
singers.” He stated that he would
spend his time only with those who
had made the grade. For those in
terested in operatic careers,
- Melchior advised studying in Eur
ope. He contends that there is no
place for singers trained in America,
but there is always a place for a
foreign artist. ., ^
After a concert for President
Truman and one for the boys leav
ing for Korea, Mr. Melchior plans
to return to Denmark to attend the
fortieth reunion of his King’s Life
Guard. The next thing on his sched
ule is a tiger hunt in India.
For his program Mr. Melchior
chose folk songs from Norway, Swe
den, and Denmark and excerpts
from Tristan und Isolde, Die WaT
kuere and Die Meistersinger. To
conclude his program he sang many
well-known semi-classical pieces.
Mr. Melchior was accompanied by
George Roth.
