Exhibiting exceWent technical skill, with clarity of tonal phrases and deftness of fingering, Miss Clark, sixteen year o.d freshman of Daytona Beach, held her audience so that they literally "drank in" her music. Playing a program consisting of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and Ru- benstein compositions, Miss Clark evoked many fine comments from her audience. "She is very, very fine," said her professor, Arthur J. Graham, at the conclusion of the concert. Miss Elizabeth Jameson, organ major student of Belle Glade, provided organ accompaniment for the d minor concerto of Rubenstein.

Marjorie Jodan will pre- ssent hed production, the comedy- tragedy, "They That Mourn" next. This will be followed by a Chinese fantasy, "Romance of the Willow Men."

After forsaking grease paint and wig for eight years, Wee Willie Anderson returns to walk the boards in the forthcoming Shakespearean production, "Merry Wives of Windsor". Of course, he has no lines, but then so much more artistry is required for a Iineless portrayal. Anybody can play a lead, out it takes a master Thespian to play gillie's part! ROWE AND SLAUGHTER PROSPECTIVE RESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES IN THE ENSUING BATTLE AT THE POLLS M* PROFESSOR BAILEY AND SYMPHONY SCORE SUCCESS Polished Performance Given By Orchestra Sunday Afternoon VARIED PROGRAM Gonzales and Gainin Perform As Student Soloists An appreciative audience of stu- dnts and friends in Elizabeth Hall enthusiastically received the annual concert of the Stetson Symphony orchestra Sunday afternoon. Cesar Gonzales, violinist, was the soloist in the initial number, which was a Concerto in A minor by Vivaldi. Gonzales showed in his spirited playing the fine mastery of touch, and the confidence of a true artist. The orchestra next played Franz Schubert's Zwischenact music, written for von Chezy's romantic play, "Rosamunde, Princes of Cypress." The two movements were Allegro molto moderato and Andantino. The stormy mood of the Allegro was well portrayed by the orchestra as restless, stern, almost harsh. Zwischen, act II, the Andantino, showed the romantic mood for which Schubert is best known. N'one of the lightness and delicacy which is the prin- cp-al charm of the Andantino was lacking in the orchestra's interpretation of this beautiful movement. The lovely fiery music of Bizet's L'Arlesienne Suite No. I was played as the orchestra's third offering. The Suite is composed of a Prelude, Minuetto, Adigetto, and Carillon. Its arrangement gave every member in the orchestra, especially the strings ample opportunity to perform. Lillian Ga'inin played the solo part in Beethoven's Concerto No. (Continued on Page 4) Division Is Following Closely Along Fraternity vs. N on-Fraternity Party Affiliations Lines Of BRANHAM, INCUMBENT CALLS ELECTION Patsy Loomis and "Big Andy" Anderson Are Two Named as Running-Mates in Coming Election CORONATION OF QUEEN FEATURE OF MAY DAY FETE REMEMBRANCE This Sunday, May 8, we again celebrate Mother's Day. The word "Mother" immediately represents to each one of us understanding, tolerance, and unselfishness. All these together are in a literal sense a "haven of refuge." Mother has always been the one to seek in time of stress and uncertainty. Too often this has been the only time. There is not a human emotion or quality comparable to a Mother's love. The perfection of your Mother's love is a challenge to your own devotion. Unfortunately, when this day was The Stetson student body will go to the polls next Fri' day afternoon to elect their officers for the next year. This election is one of the most important events of the school year and will attract much interest during the remainder of the week. By.special bulletin, THE STETSON REPORTER is able to publish the candidates announced by both Frats and Non'frats. Top honors for the Frats go to Wilton Rowe, a member of Sigma Nu, law student who has been outstanding in debate and student government work heretofore. His running mate will be Miss Patsy Loomis, Pi Beta Phi, who was recently adjudged one of the ten pret' tiest girls in the state by the University of Florida. Josephine Osburne, presi' dent of Zeta Tau Alpha is the candidate for secretary, with Esther Hicks, Delta Delta Del' 'ta, tossing her hat in the ring for the treasurer's post. The Frat contingency will have to meet a strong Non' Frat ticket composed of their leaders for the past two years. William Randall "Governor" Slaughter has been announced as the Non'frat's selection for president^ with Willard "Big Andy" Anderson running for the vice'presidency. Both of these men are strong contenders, with Slaughter representing law school to give Rowe a real battle. Anderson has also been prominent in athletic and scholastic endeavors during his enrolment here. Harmon Harper, prominent, debater, and Rodney Durance, athlete and law student, are candidates for secretary and treasurer respectively. There has been little campaigning or "politicking" to date, due to the delay in nominating candidates. Formal nomination! will r ? made at a meeting of the student body Friday morning which ha^- b;en ca! ed by t!:e incumbent p.-^sidtnt, Richa.d B?ar.ham.

The incumbent officers are Frats, but during the 1936-37 term, the Non,fratK e'ected Lawrence "Harpo" Haddock to the presidency in one of the closet races in the history, when'Sid- n y Taylor, Delta Sig, was defeated by a two vote majority. All other o'.ices went to the Frat group without opposition. In the preceding election the Non- fi -its elected Jimmie Parrish presi- d-nt with Herbert "Swede" Phillips, v.:-je-pre'id;-p.t.

An inovation over previous years, the pageant began at 7:45 P.M., with a short band concert. During the recital, crowds thronged in, filling the East grandstand completely. At the conclusion of the music, the field became entirely dark for an instant, and then a beam of light found Miss Roberta Nigels and Miss Josephine Kinsey, attendants to the May Queen, who led the procession on the field. After Miss Nigels and Miss Kinzey had been announced, Miss Lenore Ingram and Miss Ruth Bartlett stepped into the light. The Misses Miriam Dowling, Jeanette Stevens, Dorothy Hooker, Stella Pope, Peggy Burdick and Mary Brown followed. As the attendants in the diaphanous pastel gowns formed an aisle to the throne which was placed in the middle of the field, Miss Mary Hudson, Maid of Honor appeared on the field, followed by little Jackie (Continued on Page 8) fixed as an observance, manufacturers and merchants were quick to realize the possibilities.
