ORGANIZA TIONS
LATIN CLUB ORGANIZES
On Wednesday, October 22 the
Latin students met to organize a
Latin Club. The following officers
were elected: Miss M aidEa Ellis,
president; John Sutherland, vice pre-
sident; Elizabeth McSwein, secretary,
and Doris Kellam, chairman of the
program co.mmittee.
After this business had been at-
tended to Mr. Tanner played several
Latin records on the Victrola, and
the club sang the Latin version of
“America.” There were quite a num-
ber present at this meeting and those
who did not already know, found
that they were going to enjoy a Latin
club very much. It is going to be
one of the livest in the college.
BE MOLAY OFFICERS AP-
POINTED FOR COMING TERM
After the recent election of the of-
ficers of the local National Honor
Chapter, Order of DeMplay, the newly
elected Matser Councilor has made
the following appointments to offi-
ces: Waymen Boggus, marshall; Har-
old Stevens, standard bearer; Mark
Arenstein, senior deacon; Paul
Hodge, junior deacon; Bryan Wilden-
thal, almoner; W. D. Bowen, chap-
lain; Van Kennedy, senior steward;
Bernard Biggs, junior steward; John
Kinney, sentinel, and the following
are pi’eceptors, T. C. Connally, Gray-
den Mayfield, Robert Collier, Law-
rence Lowman, Edward Hodge, Wil-
lard McCracken and Jack Morton.
The local Masonic chapter expects
soon to have a meeting at which the
chapter’s DeMolay representative at
the First National Leaders Camp,
Estes Park, Colo., last summer, will
present his report of the lodge-in-
struction work as given in that camp.
PHILOSOPHIANS ACTIVE
The initiation in the Philosophian
Society last Thursday afternoon was
followed by the usual shouts and
groans. They were a bit more in-
tensive than on former occasions, and
the new members breathed a deep
sigh of relief when they were finally
informed that they were full-fledged
members of the society. Why they
should object washing down the cat’s
eyes with the Philosophian drink, and
then be cross-examined, we can not
imagine. It was strange, too, how
very straight they walked upon
leaving.
Everyone wondered the next day
why all questions concerning the
orange and white apron and hat were
answered with “Keep that school
girl complexion.”
Those who donned the orange and
white hat and apron were: Clec
Youngblood, Carmen Strieber, Delma
Gunn, Navada Hicks, Edna Archerd,
Nell Samuel, Sara Danby, Floy
Reeves, Gertrude Holloway, Irene
Egly, Thelma Stevens, and Hattie
King.

The Shakespeares met with Velda
Ellis and Allie Pearl Howell at Miss
Ellis’ home Monday, October 20.
The program consisted of the read-
ing of a one-act play, “Modesty”, by
Eddie McCurry and some piano and
voice selections by Roxadene Martin-
dale. After the program, the mem-
bers took part in two contests, one
of which was to carry peanuts from
one room to another on the blade ox
a knife. The guests were divided
into two sides, led by Tressie McG.ee
and Carol Davis, and the latter’s side
won the prize, which consisted of
several packages of chewing gum.
The other contest was to see who
could think of the most slang words
and expressions. Carol Davis receiv-
ed. the prize for having the most,
her number being 33, and Margaret
Ellis received the booby prize, as she
was so modest that she could think
of only three. The first prize was
a bar of soap and the booby prize
consisted of three packages of mints.
After the amusements the host-
esses served pineapple salad, olives,
sandwiches, hot tea and mints.
The Shakespeares had as their
guest, Mrs. Homer Tanner and her

“Piano Compulsory”.
(From the “Etude”, Oct. 1924)
Many years ago, your editor made
a tour of several thousand miles in
Europe for the express purpose of
visiting the great conservatories of
piusic. In this way he had enviable
opportunities for observing their
methods and the resulting degrees of
success.
The thing which impressed him
most was the fact that in nearly all
of the great conservatories the study
of the piano was compulsory. No mat-
ter if the student was studying voice,
violin, French horn or what not, his
musical_ education was considered de-
ficient if he did not also acquire a
good working knowledge of the piano.
The little line in the catalog “Piano
Compulsory”, meant a great deal to
every teacher who saw it.
The wisdom of this is apparent to
any instrumentalist who after having
made a beginning with one instru-
ment takes up the piano. In addi-
tion to opening up the world of har-
mony and counterpoint, it compels
the player to juggle with from two
to ten different voices or parts where
he has hitherto only concerned him-
self with one thin line of melody.
The intellectual training resulting
from this is incomparable. Many of
the greatest singers and performers
are also excellent pianoists. Kreisler.
Galli-Curci, Sembrich, Melba, are only
a few outstanding examples. No mat-
ter what otber_ instrument you may
study, if you miss the piano you miss
the most consequential step in musi-
cal education.
This is particularly true ox the
thousands of fine boys and girls in
our schools studying other instru-
. ments. They will never get the best
from the violin, the trombone or the
saxophone until they back their work

It was Mauritz Hauptmann, the
famous theorist, who said: “The
Pianoforte is the modern foundation
of all musical training.”
