SALEM PRACTICE HOUSE PLAN
SALEM COLLEGE’S
HOME ECONOMICS
(Continued From Page One)
Seniors live in the Practice House;
juniors come in every day to act as
maids to set the table, serve, etc.
This year there are five Home Eco
nomics seniors, and next year there
will be twelve.
The girls in the Practice House
must keep a strict account of their
menus and of all expenses. It costs
a little less than $40 a week to com*
pletely run the house for five people
with two guests; this includes every
thing — food, rent, service (outside
maid service once a week), laundry,
gas, water, and lights. This semester
has cost $15 less for running the
house than did last semester — “not
because of change in food prices, but
because the girls are now bettel’
managers,” says Mrs. Meinung.
Breakfast is served at 7:30, and
all of the dishes are washed and put
away and the house cleaned up by
chapel time. Lunch is at 1, and sup-
I>er is usually at 6. Of course, the
girls are attending all of their classes
while they live in the Practice House,
and frequently all three of tliem have
12 o’clock classes; yet lunch must be
served at 1. Because of this, at pres
ent they use the economy cooker in
the Home Economics laboratory, but
Miss Katherine Hanes has promised
to give them a new electric stove
with an economy cooker next year
for the Practice House. And speak
ing of Miss Katherine, this fall she
gave the Practice House a new Norge
ice-box, and right now she is having
a lovely new walnut dining-room
table made for the house; it is Early
American drop-leaf, and is larger
than the table now in use.
Home Economics freshmen study
art and clothing. They learn the
elements and principals of art and
use it in criticism and planning of
interior decoration and clothes, and
they each make five pieces of cloth
ing — a smock, a skirt, a blause, a
silk dress, and a simple evening
dress.
Sophomores study textiles and
foods; make out diets for healthy and
sick people; and learn home nursing.
Juniors and seniors have elective
courses for the most part; but here’s
an example of the things their tests
include — a list of 25 French terms
found on menus to be defined or ex
plained.
On the third floor of Main Hall
are now five unit kitchens — three
with electric ranges, one with gas,
and one with oil; a home nursing
room, a clothing laboratory, and an
office. This past summer the Home
Economies laboratorys were re
arranged, repainted, and divided into
these present sections. Mrs. Mein
ung’s hope for the future is a cafe
teria in which the girls may practice
their institutional subjects and work.
Under the art division of Home
Economics comes a course in costume
designing, one in home furnishing,
and one in Industrial Arts which is
required for all A. B. girls who will
teach in the elementary grades. A
course in art history and appreciation
includes a historical study of paint
ing, sculpture, and architecture with,
particular emphasis on the great
traditions and periods of art. A fine
arts course teaches drawing, painting
with pastels, and clay modeling.
So, if you had thought that the
Home Economies course and depart"
ment at Salem was the Practice
House, you see now that you were
wrong — the Practice House is one
very small but very interesting part
of it.
(Continued Prom Page Five)
zy; it’s silly and childish; and so
what!
Do Yob Prefer a Drinker or
Non-Drinker?
There are 158 girls who prefer their
boy friends to drink, and 698 who
prefer them to abstain. It was inter
esting to note that all the girls pre
ferring drinkers were themselves
smokers, with the exception of one.
Converse is the only school having
a large preference for drinkers, over
one-third of the reporting girls desir
ing them. Queens had only one
guzzler-admirer, which should prove
something or other.
Do You Like Mtistaiches?
Wow!""' It looks like the gals are
positive on this ticklish question.
Only six girls said that they like
them, one stating that they were
good to brush her teeth on. The oth
er girls — the mustache-haterg —
were so emphatic that some of them
even resorted to profanity to express
their feelings. Others resorted to
heavy underlinings, many and mon
strous exclamation marks, and var
ious emphatic adjectives. One little
girl said that she didn’t like them
because she was too ticklish anyway.
Others complained that they got in
the way. One advised me to inform
Shaw Smith to cut his off (cut yourg
off, Shaw.)
Do You Rate Personality Above
Dancing Ability?
All but three girls rated personal
ity higher, one of the three saying
that too many personalities danced
on her feet instead of their own.
"What Is Yonr Favorite Chewing
Otun?
Beech Nut seems to be the best
bet when taking your girl a chew,
with Dentyne coming in three votes
behind. If you are dating at Queens,
Salem, St. Mary’s or Winthrop, yon
should carry Beech Nue, but if your
O. A. O. attends Converse Flora Mac
Donald or Bandolph-Macon, slip her
Dentyne (think of all this free ad
vertising being wasted). Far behind
the 216 Beech Nut votes and the 210
Dentyne votes come, in order of pref
erence, Spearmint 98, Double Mint
38, Juicy Fruit 26, Blow Gum 20,
Beechies 16, Double Bubble 8,
Clove 4, Oralgene 4, and Black Jack,
Teaberry, Yum-Yum, Tempters, Tal
low, Pepsin, Bull Durham and Feen-
A-Mint each receiving one vote. Nine
girls said that they didn’t chew.
What Is Yonr Favorite Dance Band?
The Janes would have us know that
they prefer Tommy Dorsey above all
others he being even more popular
than Beech Nut gum. Dorsey had 306
fans, Hal Kemp 122, Benny Goodman.
112, Wayne King 66, Guy Lombardo
62, Kay Kayser 50, Horace Heidt and
Sammy Kaye each had 22, Glenn
Gray 16, Cab Calloway 8, Eddie
Duchin and Ray Noble each had 6,
and Fats Waller, Chubby King, and
the Briarhoppers each had 2 support
ers.
Do You Hope To Marry?
It was interesting to find that 432
maidens said yes, 541 said uh-huh, 22
said yes, one said maybe, and only
three said no, one of those coming
from Hollywood, California. That’s
a hopeful sign, boys!
When Do You Hope To Marry?
The gals busted loose with answers
running from next month to any old
time something in pants says, “Wil-
yaf” Many named a definite date,
many said, ‘ ‘ Soon, ’ ’ Some said
“when the right man comes along,”
and one said, “That’s what’s worry
ing Mama.”
Can You Cfook?
Only 238 would admit that they
couldn’t cook, but some said that
they could learn. The other 594 said
that they could cook, but some limit
ed their ability to fudge or bacon and
eggs. Queens leads the list in cooks,
nearly three-fourths of them claim
ing to be so talented. Flossie Mae
runs close behind in number of cooks,
while Converse can boast only a
handful of culinary artists. One girl
expects to live on love, but she’s a
freshman. She’ll learn.
Do You Put Ba*: Tooth-Paste
Tube Caps?
Only 181 said that they didn’t, the
Queens and Converse girls being the
worst offenders. A few slipped one
over on me by using tooth-powder.
MUSIC NEWS
(Continued From Page One)
Miss Flagstead hag appeared in
the role of Isolde 59 times since ghe
firgt sang it 6 years ago in Oslo.
Yehudi Menuhin broke all hig rec
ords of great capacity audiences
when he was soloist in the Schumann,
Mendelssohn, and Brahms violin con
certos with the London Philharmonic
Orchestra in London, under direction
of Sir Hanry Wood.
List Your Pet Peeves
Here’s where the real informa
tion is found. Listen to this partial
list, in order of frequency. Conceit
(mentioned by 972 girls), impolite
ness, asking for date at last minute,
nconsideration, sarcasm, cursing, un
tidiness, wandering hands, using old
or unconvincing lines, talking about
other girls, persistence when the girl
says “No!”, sloppy appearance, B.
O., Hallie, dirty language, insincerity,
sarcasm, sissiness, ‘®j;uds”, stingi
ness, heavy drinkers, passing out on
date, honking in front of home, kiss
ing on first date, gossiping, etc. Some
of the unusual ones were: loose to
bacco juice, vacation hair, boys
wearing nail polish, too much gin, not
enough chewing gum, not enough gas,
no car, no money, strong hair tonic,
old jokes (that refers to the David
sonian editor), boys who take a girl
home when she says she has to go
home, boys who are six feet two and
dance cheek to cheek, five feet five
boys who dance cheek to cheek, bow
ties, sleeping on dates, back slapping,
mug-bugs, boys who ask if they can
kiss you, telling women how to keep
house, boys that spend the evening
and nothing else, green ties and suits,
and cave men. One sweet girlie says,
“I think I’m a mos’ nearly perfect
girl with no pet peeves.”

package of chewing gum — less thain one gatllon of gas
