C A M P US MIRROR 3 Events of Interest in the Music Department After a hot summer of hard work, the teachers and students of the music de partment, like those of the other depart ments on our campus, are expecting and planning an extremely interesting and profitable year. Our campus Y. W. C. A. is starting the season off with a bang by presenting Kemper Harreld in violin recital, Friday evening, November 8. 1946, in Sisters Chapel. All the students have at one time or another heard Mr. Harreld in the music field—either on the organ, piano* in the string quartet, or lecturing in class, but not all of us have heard him play his chosen instrument, the violin. We are eagerly looking forward to his recital on November 8th. Featured among the program numbers are the popular Mendelssohn’s Concerto in E Minor and Chausson’s Poeme. Mr. Harreld will also play two numbers, Jennie IF ith the Light Brown Hair, by Stephen Foster, and Prophet Bird, by Robert Schumann, arranged by Jascha Heifetz, master violinist and eminent composer-arranger. Of special interest will be the Prelude and Allegro, in the style of Paganini, by Fritz Kreisler, Viennese artist-composer. Kreisler is noted for his stylistic qualities in adap tations of Viennese folk music, as well as for his virtuosity. A particularly delight ful number will be the Jamaican Rum- ha by Benjamin-Primrose. You may rest assured that tnis number will appeal' net only to musicians who attend the con cert, but also to those who come merely out of curiosity or to those who come because of genuine interest. Mr. Harreld will be ably assisted at the piano by Mrs. Sara Owsley Stivers. Chatter, Chatter The Glee Club and Chorus greatly miss the golden melodic voices of Mattiwilda Dobbs and Mae Belle Finch. In getting to know our Freshmen better, it is clear that some good new voices have come which will help fill in those vacancies: Helen Marshall. Irma Marshall. Rubye Warren, and Ernestine Johnson. We all are interested in knowing what the members of the class of forty-six are now doing. Jacqulyn Warren is studying music at Columbia University, New York. Mattiwilda Dobbs is studying voice under Mint. Lotte Leonard in New York City. Anita Lewis, now Mrs. Thomas Massey, is living here in Atlanta. Bernice Warner is employed at the Atlanta Life Insurance Co. Claragene Parks. Catherine Burney, and Ollivette Smith are attending Atlanta University. Blanche Sellers is continuing Do You Know Your Friends? Romae Turner. '47 Any upperclassman who has been to the women’s locker room of the Atlanta University Library can uphold me in the acknowledgement of a very likable in dividual in the person of Mrs. Mary Stroud. Our attention is drawn to peo ple not only by the position they hold, hut by the kindness they exhibit towards others. Mrs. Stroud has been the attend ant in the women’s locker room for quite a long time. The seniors became ac- ruainted with her in their freshman year when they were permitted to go to the library to write term papers. Since then most of the upperclassmen have met her. Mrs. Stroud always greets you with a big smile and a hearty salutation. She then accosts you with some sort of inter esting news of the day or, maybe, a comment on the weather. If you are feel ing down and out in spirit, she seems to cheer you up and ease the load you were carrying by her congenial smile and cheery words. If you happen to spill powder on the floor or some other place, she will graciously consent to assist you in clearing it up. Many times you may fail to do your part in keeping the room clean, but may show some intention of doing your part; then she will take the extra responsibility upon herself to do the task. When one so magnificently performs her tasks and duties, and does all she can to make you comfortable, it is our next move to return kindness with kind ness and by so donig make her tasks more pleasant. If you see a little lady in the Atlanta Ufniversity Library locker room about five feet four and one-half inches tall, with hair slightly streaked with gray, and a pleasant, cordial smile on her face, that is Mrs. Stroud. We salute you. Mrs. Stroud. her study at Meharry. Clara Yates, who recently returned from Europe, plans to continue working in behalf of the World Student Service Fund, touring the South eastern portion of the United States. Muriel Sherwood is teaching music in Florida. Mary Jeanne Parks is teaching at Carter Elementary School. The Freshmen of Laura Spelman were sorry to lose Miss Appleby as their housemother. As an expression of their affection, they gave a farewell party for her at which an antique music powder- box was presented to her. Among those at the party were Dean Curry and the new housemother, Mrs. Chute, who was welcomed by the group. Vacationers Ellen L. Barnette, ’47. and Pinkie Gordon, ’49 “Goodbye to summer!” Whether we said it happily or with a tinge of regret, we said it. And why not? Indian sum mer is wonderful! Think how Mary Jones must feel. She spent her vacation in New York and Chicago. W hile in New ^ ork she worked with the “People’s Cul tural Society.” As she is a prospective social worker, she just couldn’t get away from it completely. In Chicago, she visit ed relatives. Now she can enjoy the mild weather and remember things like “Deep are the Roots” and other stage produc tions. Then there is Alma Powell who had her vacation in New York and reports a wonderful time. Mafir Harris had her first experience as a Nurse’s Aid. She spent the entire summer working in a hospital in her home town. Pueblo, Colorado. She found working with orthopedic, obstetric, and post-mortem cases especially interesting. In fact—she liked it so well that she re turned to Spelman this year determined to prepare herself for nursing school. Theresa Smith, on the other hand, tried her hand in labor and industry. She worked in a baseball factory in Hartford, Connecticut, and, says Theresa, “It was really fun.” Lavaughn Force spent her summer at home in Gainesville, Georgia, but it was one of interest and variety. The first thing that commanded her at tention was the July elections. The Vet erans’ Club of Gainesville and other youth organizations canvassed the rural districts of Hall County to encourage registration of Negro citizens. Lavaughn says that these groups had to compete with such opposing forces as Klu Klux Klan intimidation of the Negroes, also lack of knowledge on the part of many people as to their rights as citizens. Romae Turner remained in the city of Atlanta, and she says the plays given by the University Players were “simply super!” So we see the summer can be a vaca tion whether spent at home, or away, even though we weren’t lucky enough to do all the things we would have liked to do.
