The following announcement was
read nine times during the past week:

Announce the marriage of their
daughter

to
Mr. Fresh Man
on Friday, November 13

Your presents are desired
By Friday the student body had a
vague idea that there would be a
wedding that night. So on Friday
night at 7 o’clock in Memorial Hall
a goodly crowd arrived to see
“Uncle Bim’s Ultimate Bliss” or the
marriage of Henrietta and Uncle
Bim.
The ushers for the occasion, the
three little Hooligans or Louise
Marshall, Margaret Ward and Mary
Brooks, seated the motley crowd of
comic strip characters on the stage
and the procession was ready to be
gin.
The blushing Henrietta, Irene
Me Anally, had for her only attend
ant, the maid of honor, Min or Caro
McNeil. The groom. Lib Hatch,
was attended by Sarah Jetton who
took the place of Andy. Little Ches
ter, Marietta Way, was tlie ring
bearer.
Just before the solemn occasion
Maggie, (Margaret McLean) sang
“O Promise Me,” accompanied by
Rosalie Smith on the organ.
Afterwards, Major Hoople (Emily
Mickey) performed the impressive
ring ceremony and the two oft-sepa
rated lovers were joined at last,
much to the relief of all present.
The specially invited guests in
cluded: the rejected Tom Carr, Jo
Walker; . Jiggs, Bessie Cheatem:
Maggie, Margaret McLean; Archie,
Louise Brinkley; Rosie, Martha
Bothwell; Boots, Virginia Bailey
International Singers
Delight Salem Students
Mr. George Rasely, Alumnus
of Salem, Unusually Good
Tuesday night, November 10, a
group of Salem students attended
the concert at Reynolds Auditorium
of the International Singers. Wheth
er they went to escape studying, or to
get out of school, or merely to hear
good singers can not be determined.
However they did enjoy the program
(much to the surprise of some) es
pecially the singing of Mr. George
Rasely, an alumnus of Salem.
The other singers were Mr. Edwyn
Mutch, baritone; Mr. James Davies,
basso; and Mr. Victor Edmunds,
tenor; and with Mr. Thomas Griselle
at the piano. The songs were
pie but beautiful especially the
Negro Spirituals. However, the
favorites were by far “Old '
River” and “Slyvia” which i
rendered twice.
Great surprise was shown at the
“jazzy” manner in which Mr. Gri
selle played but even the music
teachers approved of such.
Announcements Are
Most of Program
Remainder of Chapel Program
On Wednesday Morning
Seemed O. K.
Wednesday morning, November
11, the chapel program, commemo
rating Armistice Day and World Fel
lowship Week, consisted entirely of
announcements. The participants,
chosen from the scum of the school,
took their parts in as terrible a man
ner as usual.
Sarah Graves held the floor down
first with her usual ambiguous an
nouncement of the Salemite Staff
meeting. To the surprise and dis
may of all, the Freshmen were cor
dially invited to be present or else
Irene McAnally, who has no
speaking voice at all, read the follow
ing:
Mr. and Mrs. S. Al. Emcollege
Announce the marriage of their
daughter
Miss June Oirclasse
Mr. Fresh Man
on Friday, November 13
at High 7 o’clock
Your presents are desired.
“There will be a Junior Class
meeting in Room 17 immediately aft
er lunch,” loudly bellowed Captain
Jo Walker. This silly speech was
firmly denied in the dining room,
however, by the President of the
class, “gigling Irene.” In this man
ner another perfectly good five min
utes were wasted.
Helping to prolong the agony.
Belle Denmark, followed by Mar
garet Long, struggled to make the
poor French students understand
that they had a club meeting at
5 o’clock eastern slaving time.
Freshman Long evidently realized
that time was short and her little
speech ran thus, “There will be a
Freshman-Senior Hockey Game at
4 o’clock. Allwhoareinterestedare in-
vitedtoattend!”
Wanting a finger in every pie,
Margaret Wall took the floor next.
Her announcement was the follow
ing:
Mr. and Mrs. S. Al Emcollege
Announce the marriage of their
daughter
Miss June Oirclasse
to
Mr. Fresh Man
on Friday, November 13
at High 7 o’clock
Your presents are required.
Dean Charlie Vardell
Talks on Browning
Interesting Program Is Feature
of Music Hour
Dean Charlie Vardell held a mus
ically inclined audience spell-bound
for the brief space of an hour on
Thursday afternoon as he forcefully
orated on the worths of “Mr. Brown
ing at the Organ.”
Since the staff of the Salemite was
for the present, laboring under diffi
culties and its lines of battle had
been considerably diminished by an
onslaught of material, no reporter
could be dispatched to gather in
notes on this remarkable speech. Yet
be assured considering the source
from which it sprang, that it was
quite a lullabye.
Mysterious Woman
Makes Daring Visit
To Salem College
Mystery Lady Causes Total
Evaporation of Loose
Sums of Money
Quite a queer and mysterious lady
has been seen for several days to
be perusing the grounds and build
ings of Salem College.
This boldl bad woman is evidently
an unfearing mortal as she is not to be
daunted by daylight, but rather uses
this state of time to her advantage
and goes about her task quite freely
and with much self-composure. Miss
or Mrs. Anonymous, as the case may
be, has quite an original line which
shows much practice by the smooth
way in which it is carried on.
On Friday, November 6, she made
her first appearance and at this time
she inquired for Miss Smith. M
Smith, it seems, was teaching,
the woman departed but was s
several minutes later calmly reposing
on one of the beds in the Sisters’
House, at which time she is supposed
to have caused five dollars to evapo
rate. Not being able to see Miss
Smith, she changed the name
Robinson; but this did not work
well as there was no Robinson
the campus. Her next visit was S'
eral days later which was a poor
move on her part since everybody
was on the watch out. This time she
asked for Miss Miller but when
asked which Miss Miller she,
doubt, believed that her ace had been
trumped and straight way made a
hasty retreat.
The mystery woman was entirely
out of the ordinary run .of stylf
She wore a very short and somewhat
soiled wool dress and a red old fash
ioned hat of about the nineteenth
century. Her coat was short and
rather a tannish mixture of gray and
orange with a vague odor of strong
drug prevailing. The woman her
self was quite low in sta.ture and
slim, appearing to be about the age
of 23 or 24>. There was absolutely
nothing impressive in her make-up
seeming as she did, meek and lamb
like but this is only a ruse and the
woman is spotted as an accomplished
WINNERS OF PASSES
The management of the Car
olina Theatre takes great
pleasure in announcing the
winners of this week’s compli
mentary tickets:
Miss Elizabeth Gray and
Miss Margaret Long, both of
the Freshman staff of The
Salemite.
The winners are chosen ac
cording to their outstanding
ability and much hard work on
this issue of 2'he Salemite.
Bug Battle Will Take
Place in Library Soon
‘Scorpions’ Will Fight Against
‘Silver Fish’ in Library All
Next Week
Thursday and Friday of this com
ing week will be set aside by the
librarians as “Quick Henry, the
Flit” days. It seems that some in
significant little worm called the
“Silver Fish” has been feasting on
some of the library’s most valuable
documents, especially on Dr. Wil
loughby’s priceless English books.
The librarian has asked the I. R. S.
(The Scorpions are quite fit to do
the job, don’t you think?), to aid
the pages in waging war against
these pests.
Each member of the organization
is required to work a certain num
ber of hours either on Thursday or
Friday. The library will be closed
during this time, although reserved
books may be taken out as usual.
Miss Siewers has figured out a
system whereby one shelf may be
sprayed in eight minutes. One girl
takes the books down, another opens
Memorial Hall on Sat.
Evening to Be Scene
of Blank Blankness
Much Ado About Nothing Is
Scheduled on Calendar
For Tonight
BLANKETY - BLANK, ETC.
Everybody is looking forward to
a period of great peace which will
take place tonight at the usual time
for entertainments. Anyone who
wishes to enjoy this contentment
may go to Memorial Hall from 6:30
to 11:00 tonight and concentrate by
herself in silence.
After a period of deep meditation
and peaceful sleep. Dr. N. O. Body
will think on the subject of “the
Value of An Empty Vacuum.” Any
one not wishing to enjoy his mental
telepathy may turn their thoughts
to the undeveloped negatives of the
silent vitaphone which accompanies
Dr. Body.
Dr. N. O. Body is the famous Do-
Nothing of N O Institute from
which he graduated not at all and
is a member of the national “Never
Thunk a Thot” Fraternity. He has
travelled extensively in No Man’s
land and attained his Zero degree
“Pierrette Players” Appear Twice
In Opening Performances of Year
The internationally known dra
matic club, “The Pierrettes” gave
brilliant productions of two one-act
plays on Friday and Saturday eve
nings, November sixth and seventh,
and as to be expected both plays
were howling successes.
On Friday night the plays, “Post
Script” and “Marriage Proposal”
were presented at a place which at
first was mistaken for a cross-roads
but later found to be a village
called Clemmons. A thriving burg!
As many as two lamp posts and two
filling stations were seen while pass
ing thru the mentioned city.
To continue, the hall at which the
plays were given was filled with an
anxious audience and intelligent
faces (of these Lemonites—I mean
Clemonites) could be seen viewing
the dimly-lighted stage. Figures
rambling over bits of furniture
could be recognized and in between
the bellows of a certain excited in
fant in the front row (I think he
dropped his all-day sucker) voices
were heard muttering. And we wish
to take this opportunity to thank the
audience at Clemmons for laughing,
as was hoped they would, even
though the whole point to the play
had been left out. To find a more
obliging audience would have been
impossible but we aren’t going to
mention anything about the play.
If you can think at all, please be
sparing!
Then suddenly the scene was
changed on this rather crude stage
and boisterous noises were heard.
Much screaming and stamping of
feet ensued which comprised nearly
the whole plot. A gentleman in a
“tux” was apparently very nervous
and continually pranced up and
down the floor.
Well, if you are sorry by now you
missed this performance we should
advise immediate medical attention
for there is something vitally wrong
with you, of that we are sure.
But be not dismayed or disillus
ioned in the Pierrette Players my
good friends and kind readers. No
tice please that we do not speak of
I a reader as a friend because expe
rience has taught us that once a
reader, never a friend! Sad life but
don’t be too disheartened, the Pier
rettes are going to give two new
plays very soon. Smiles beamed
everywhere.
e must be on! Saturday eve
ning these same plays were present
ed at the magnificent Salem College
Auditorium and what’s more—played
to a packed house. And we don’t
ian maybe I If you’ve never seen
packed house why—well, you’ve
just never seen one. Anyway,
throngs gathered to see these well-
known performers. (That sounds like
a circus but far from it!) Why it
became necessary to turn away
! as it was concluded by a cer-
genius that the hall could only
hold so many and no more. So with
sincere regret some few were forced
retreat—and the rest did of their
n free will and common sense aft
erwards.
Well, the excitement having sub
sided, the massive velour curtain
drops were slowly raised and reveal
ed—oh this excitement!—a new
stage setting. When the audience
had fully recovered from this great
shock the show continued and with
great success too.
The characters will not die from
shame this time having their names
published, so for your approval—the
cast was: Phyllis Noe, Emily
Mickey, and Lucy Gulick-Rogers.
The second play was equally suc
cessful and met with as great ap
proval as the first did. The cast
for this one was: Emily Moore,
Marietta Way, and Margaret Mc-
Tlie Coaches were Beulah Mae
Zachary and Mary Virginia Pen-
dergraph.
If you were not here to see these
presentations and you really feel so
badly about it perhaps by a great
deal of urging and bribing these
could be presented again.
Requests may be handed to the
President of the Pierrette Players.
If you don’t know who that is crawl
into the Aearest waste basket and
hide your guilty person.
