New Issue of Centralight
William A. Hoppe, of the music
department of Central Michigan
College, will present a violin recital
Wednesday, February 4, in the college auditorium, at 8:15 p. m. This
will be the second faculty recital to
be given this semester. The first
was presented by Miss Louise
Bartlett, who will be accompanist
for Mr. Hoppe in this recital.
Mr. Hoppe received the degree of
Bachelor of Music Education from
Murry State Teachers College at
Murry, Kentucky, did graduate work
at Syracuse University, and received the degree of Master of
Music Education from the American
Conservatory of Music, at Chicago,
where he had the privilege of
studying the violin under Herbert
Butler, head of the violin department. While at the American Conservatory of Music, Mr. Hoppe was,
a member of the first violin section in the Conservatory orchestra.
He has also studied the violin under
Andre  Polah,  Hungarian   violinist.
Mr. Hoppe is one of the more
recent additions to Central's faculty, this being his first year on
campus. Before coming to Mt.
Pleasant Mr. Hoppe was on the
faculty of Ouachita College at
Arkadelphia, Arkansas, as violin
instructor and band and orchestra
director, and more recently on the
music faculty at the College of
Emporia,   at Emporia, Kansas.
The curtain of the college auditorium will rise at 8:15 Monday and
Tuesday evenings, February 2 and 3,
for the second big dramatic production of the year at Central, when
members of the play production]
class will present Edna Ferber and
George S. Kaufman's famous three-
act comedy "Stage Door," under the
direction of Fred R. Bush, director
of dramatics.
Leading characters in the play,
probably familiar to those who have
seen the movie, are Terry Randall,
and Burgess and Kingsley, rivals for
her hand. Florence Mary Gwinn,
Ludington junior, plays the part of
Terry; and Bob Ballard, Jackson
sophomore, and John Evans, Dearborn junior^ are the suitors respectively.
Before the play begins and between acts the college orchestra, di- j
rected by William A.  Hoppe, will j
furnish music for the pleasure of
the audience.
Stage settings are the Work of
the Stagecraft class, also instructed
by Mr. Bush.
Tickets went on sale early this
week at ten cents for students (plus
activity cards) and twenty-five cents
for everyone else including students
without activity cards.

in Shanghai, which hje founded as
a result of his' interest' in the Chinese language. His twenty-two
years in the Orient as Director of
the Institute, has given him the
opportunity to be well-versed in
Fax Eastern Relations, and he is
considered by many as an authority
upon this subject.
Favorable comments have been
made about the lectures given by
Prof. Scharffenberg. His timely
discussion of Far Eastern Affairs,
especially concerning Japan, should
be of interest to the student body.

Information about the identification of gases, city alarms of various kinds, physiological effects,
tactics in getting aid, proper protection, and first aid will be included in the course. This instruction is not being offered with any

Shorthand List Made
By Former Student
Miss Nancy Dellinger, former
pupil of Miss Emma B. Carr commerce instructor, has received
special recognition from the Gregg
Shorthand Company for her fine
work in compiling a chemistry vocabulary which she worked out for
her own use at the Dow Chemical*
Company where she is now employed.
Miss Carr, who sent Nancy's list
to the Gregg Publishing Company,
received a letter from Clyde Blanchard, general editor who stated
"We have examined Miss Dellin-
ger's chemistry vocabulary and want
to compliment her on the fine work
she has done in compiling it. She
has an excellent fundamental
knowledge of the system."
The present shorthand books do
not teach methods for writing
chemical formulas, although the
Gregg Company is now working on
such a publication. They have
offered to include Nancy's list in
the new book, which will be published after the national eihergency
is over and printing costs return to
normal.
J.C.C. Award Goes
To Dr. M. H. Filson
Further evidence of the close tie-
in between college and city in Mt.
Pleasant is the recent selection of
Dr. Malcolm H. Filson, assistant
professor of chemistry, to receive
the Distinguished Service award of
the Mt. Pleasant Junior Chamber
of Commerce.
Every year the J. C. C. here, as
an agent of the national body, gives
such an award to a man in the
community, between the age limits
of 21-35, who has done the most for
the community outside of his regular job. Basis for choice is entirely on voluntary service, excluding
even work done in appointive posts.
Only 41 such awards are given in
Michigan annually. Dr. Filson Was
selected by the Junior Chamber
which won the top-award for the
best all around project, given by the
state president, last year.,
A committee of five named Dr.
Filson, the committee chosen by the
J. C. C. from Mt. Pleasant professional or business men outside the
age group of the junior chamber.

Wednesday Dances
Will Continue Next Term
"As long as the ten-cent dinner
dances are reasonably successful and
as long as the students want them
we will continue them each Wednesday evening from 6:30 to 7:30 in
Keeler Union ballroom beginning
regularly in the second semester,"
said Dr. Judson W. Foust, Students*
Social Activities Committee.
It had been the practice through-*
out this semester for the Students
Social Activity Committee to spon-
ser these dinner dances Wednesday
nights when there has been nothing
previously scheduled.
Beginning with the second semester they will hold a regular place on
the social calendar as long as the
are well-attended.
