Tousled heads peering out dormitory doors to ask, “What time is it?” in answer to the startling “Br-l-r-rr” of the seven o’clock bell is the inevitable beginning to a dormitory day. From then until the last giggle after “Everybody not home . . . ,” anything may happen. There may be corn to pop, table lin¬ ens to hem, a dinner to serve, a record to dance to, a joke to tell, or a radio program to hear. Occasionally there are epidemics of studying when the old dorm rings with Ham¬ let’s famous speech or the junior’s noisy flutes, or just the silence that results from extensive concentration on some weighty matter. Problems of group concern are discussed in formal meetings at 9: 30 in Room 269. (Formal? That is, if a meeting at which the participants wear house coats and attempt to eat apples while juggling hair brushes and curlers can be called formal!) At these meet¬ ings Marylee Ruark presided, assisted by Vice-President Marie Young, Secretary Mary Marshall, Treasurer Ann Hutton, and Miss Ruth Powell, Advisor. You Day Students don’t know what it means to live in the dorm. We can be right on hand without catching a bus.” Yes, but look at all the rules and regulations we Day Students don’t have to follow!” The question is a big one, but the argument is friendly. 26

Jitterbug tunes are undoubtedly essential to college morale, but at times they become shal¬ low and tiresome and we feel a need for better things. The professional artists who grace our stage three times a year satisfy and at the same time increase this desire for good music. When time comes for the Salisbury Coop¬ erative Concerts, students of S. T. C. are for¬ tunate, for these foremost musical events take place in the college auditorium. In December the beautiful voices of the von Trapp family brought us near to the spirit of Christmas during the closing num¬ bers of their program when they sang the old carols just as in their native Tyrol on Christmas morning. So lovely was their performance that even the beloved “Si¬ lent Night” had a deeper meaning for the listeners. The second concert was a treat for those who love the violin. Patricia Travers, fifteen- year-old violinist, delighted those who heard her with her skill in using such difficult tech¬ niques as harmonics and with the beauty of her interpretation of more familiar numbers such as Schubert ' s “Ave Maria” or Fritz Kreisler’s “Liebesfreud.” Those who were able to see her backstage enjoved her child¬ like simplicity coupled with a mature poise. The last concert featured Maria Gambar- illi, who is premiere danseuse of the Metro¬ politan Opera Companv and originator of the famous “Roxvettes.” Such a well-chosen variety of artists is a worthwhile influence, both thrilling and educational.

Often both Home Association and Day Students Association find it to advantage to join hands for some important project. At other times there is wholesome rivalry. If you want to see a hard-fought game, pick a team from each group and put them on opposing sides. Mary Ann Reinhold was the president of that up-and-coming portion of S. T. C.’s pop¬ ulation known as the Day Students. This year the freshmen had to share with the upper classmen the room usually designated as theirs alone. Practice on folk dances, a never-ending flow of talk (and a comparable supply of lunches), the rush of changing classes, and the click of the ping pong ball constitute day student life. Students who have never be¬ longed to the Association got quite a vivid picture of the activitv of its members when they presented their assembly program, “A Day in The Dav Student ' s Room ' Front row — Taylor, Adkins, Riley, Truitt, Roe, Pranis, Nock, B.
