Masselos Gives Sixth Recital High School Honor Society
In Saint Mary’s Auditorium Initiates Four New Members
A.udience Applauds
With Great Enthusiam
William Masselos gave liis sixth
®'iiiual piano recital in Saint Mary’s
‘Wditorium February 10. His well
®^lected program included Bach,
Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, and
■^lan Hovhaness, the great American
'Contemporary.
All his pieces were well played,
*orne unusually well. The audience
''oceived each piece with great enthu
siasm.
j Some pieces, especially the Brahms
i '^iriations on a Theme by Paga
nini, displayed Masselos’ great tech-
I nical skill; others displayed his
junge of volume. Occasionally,
lowever, he showed a tendency to-
"ai'd monotony and a lack of so-
' loi-ity.
His best piece was probably the
petlioven Sonata opus 110 which
. 'nsplayed Masselos’ skill as a true
“«ist of the piano.
Carriage Counselor
Speaks to Assembly
'Otti
presented Mrs. Ethel
j ashj marriage counselor at Chapel
ni'l, in assembly Thursday, Febru-
Ay 12. Mrs. Nash began by say-
J’S that in 1932 Boston University
/iginated a course in education for
Hrriage. Many colleges followed
exami)le, and today even high
nools have marriage courses.
Hi’s. Nash said that the Chrislian
nimitment is very difficult to
‘Ike. First, because some ])ersons
^ tor marriage thinking that if it
,j?®sn’t work, they can always get a
il'orce. Second, because a couple
I®, never quarreled, they believe
,'-‘ir marriage will be perfect. She
Pha'si'ed that if the parents’ mar-
i |.ASo is successful, the child’s mar-
^ge is likely to be successful also.
j^,.Hrs. Nash stated that persons
the same problems move toward
other. In early teens one wants
(j^get rid of the bashfulness toward
( ® opposite sex. A fact is that in-
I teenagers usually go steady
lig years, although it may just
the person’s make-up.
f Hrs. Nash stated that one out of
' of all marriages ends in di-
one out of two teenage mai’-
y^ges ends in divorce within five
, (; ; one out of seventy-five mar-
of college graduates ends in
^ oi'ce. Past experience has proved
I) should be at least twenty and
twenty-two years old with at
O .two years commitment before
llH^iage. When a person reaches
'y, “our” instead of “his” and
l(|. stage, he is more ready for
^ ’Hage.

Bishop MakesiHis
Annual Visit Here
Bislio]:) Edwin A. Penick visited
Saiiit Mary’s chapel to hold confir-
inatio]! service Sunday morning,
February 8. After the confirma
tion service in which “Trissie” Holt
and Nancy Jones were confirmed, he
preached an impressive serrrion on
understanding the individual Chris
tian character.
The Christian character is based
on three basic qualities. Self-
consciousness is the knowledge that
each person is an individual unlike
any other person or thing. Self-
determination is the will to use the
individual faculties and abilities
which each person possesses. Right-
determination is the Christian in
spiration within each jierson which
directs the use of his abilities toward
the Christian way.
I am, I will, I ought,” sums up
the qualities of a Christian. These
are the tools with which every indi
vidual must work to build a strong
character. Everyone must decide
who he really is and what abilities
he possesses. Then, just as one
applies tools to construction ma
terials to build a house, so he must
apply the tool of his will to ojipor-
tunities around him to build a
character. These opportunities are
his construction materials; thus he
must use his right-determination to
choose those which will guide him
in the Christian way. In summary
every Christian may say, “1 will
what I ought.”
College Students Hear
Roosevelt*s Lecture
A bus load of Saint Mary’s col
lege students, chaperoned by Miss
Blackiston, went to Chapel Hill on
Wednesday afternoon, January 28,
to hear Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
speak on some of her jiersonal ex-
Iieriences.
Mrs. Roosevelt described her paid
lecture tours during her husband’s
administratioii. “One of the best
things to do is to learn of condi
tions outside your own daily circle,”
she said. Through these tours she
was able to observe how current
issues were being accepted through
out the country. Her first trip from
the White House was to a mining
area. She was allegedly a welfare
worker, and in this way was able
to watch the people without being
recognized.
After telling about several of her
experiences, Mrs. Roosevelt conclud
ed with two general rules for living,
“Try to learn all you can from
others, and accept every available
opportunity to learn.”

Visiting Bishop
Conducts Service
Bishop George Henry of the
MT'stern Diocese of North Carolina
held the morning service in the
Chapel, Sunday, February 15.
Bishop Henry took his text from
Timothy 1:15: “This is a faith
ful saying, and worthy of all ac
ceptation, that Christ Jesus came
into the world to save sinners.”
Bishop Henry contrasted the con
cept of God of the Old Testament,
a God of justice and punishment,
with the concept found in the first
chajiter of Timothy.
Man must understand God as
presented through Christ. God
loves; he does not condemn or pun
ish wrongdoers. Thus, man cannot
break the Ten Commandments, but
he can be broken and destroyed
by them. Each man is a dis
tinct creation with distinct potenti
alities. But he cannot stand alone
and must place his whole trust in
God. God is ever near to prevent
man from destroying himself and
true happiness lies in the recogni
tion of God’s love for sinners.
