I DARE SAY.....
Frances Walker has a lovely voice.
At least we hope J — thinks so, too.
. The freshmen are highly elated
with their first hockey victory over
the sophs. Let’s hold on to Pris
Dean, girls. She’s a bird! . . . David
son is a wonderful school. Now
which John is the one, Pee Wee? . . .
Marie spent a lovely week-end at
Chapel Hill. Was “Chink” the same
old boy? I’ll bet lie wasi . . . Eleanor
and Sarah have a wonderful time on
the second row in Bible every Tues
day, Thursday, and Saturday morn
ings! . . . W'ho is Johnny, Mary
Alice? . , . These freshmen who al
ways get mail from the Duke No. 1
players. Do you just write them a
fan letter, Miss X? . . . Wow! Tom
McLean met Katherine King and
within five minutes he had made a
date for the dances this week-end.
She has since received a special and
a telegram. . , . Too bad about your
misunderstanding with Pete, Mar
garet. It would have been awfully
nice to have the orchid and the date.
. . . Esther Alexander really meant
to get a cute date last week-end.
She asked a friend at Davidson to
tell the boys not to judge her by the
])icture in the annual. How was your
luck Esther? , , . Mariam Boyd has
been all atwitter since receiving that
Hpecial Wednesday. We guess it’s
love. . . . We wonder why Babbie
has been wearing that white carna
tion every night. Are you that way
about him, Babbie? , . . Emma B.
is expecting a mysterious visitor Sun
day. We’re keeping our fingers cross
ed for you hoping he’ll blow in
from the Salisbury way. . . . Worthy,
can’t even Kelly keep you here this
week-end? . . . Three cheers for
“Wilson” building! Martha had a
date Wednesday night. . . . Looks
like several of our senior glamour
girls are having a tug of war over
the “orchid boy.” . . . Po Peggy Bo
seems to be the Kallie Foutz in her
suite. Write to “Mademoiselle” for
10 easy lessons, and John will be
calling you next. . . . Maudie’s going
home this week-end. What’s the at
traction? Quit blushing! . . . In
stead of telegrams this year, Turnage
has been demoted to specials. Could
n’t 10 words say it? Some can say
it in 3. , . , John’s got Mary going
to musical lectures these days. This
must be an “intellectual” friend
ship! . . . Mary Turner isn’t going
back to Davidson this week-end. She
is staying here to learn all about the
tobacco business Saturday night . . .
There’s a rumor around the campus
that Kate has false teeth, and is
worrying about them because they
don’t fit! . * . F. L., how’s the rice
crop this year, and where is that
camera. That’s all right, we still love
you.

IT’S THE TRUTH —
By Nancy Suiter
We’ve always heard that, some
time or other, the truth would come
out. Well, it came out this week,
right out through the door of the
Annual office — all wrapped up in
our picture proofs.
We looked at the truth, and if
we didn’t like it, we didn’t recognize
it. We simply said “That picture
doesn’t look like me. ’ ’ Bnt all of
the “It-doesn’t-look-like-me’s,” the
‘ ‘ I-look-like-who-shot-Lizzie’s, ” the
‘ ‘ My-hair-doesu ’t-look-like-that’s, ’ ’
the “You’d-never-know-that-was-my
neck’s”, couldn’t alter the fact. And
the fact was that they were our
likenesses.
No doubt, to some the truth was
verj' pleasing. To others, the pic
tures — it was hardly the truth —
were pleasantly surprising. As one
girl said they wore what you wanted
them to be: “I just love my proofs.
I’m going to have some pictures
made up. You’d never know it was
me! ”
But how disappointed the rest of
us were when our pictures looked
like us! Like the old negro woman
in Mr. McEwen’s story, we wanted
to be “what we ain’t.” And when
we said to someone, “My picture’s
awful,” and they said “Why, it looks
exactly like you, ’ ’ we were stung to
the core. But then we remembered
—It’s the truth that hurts.
STICKS DOWN
By Lyell Glenn
Our English guest was really hold
ing forth Tuesday and Wednesday
of this week. If it hadn’t been for
the Salem sense of humor well —
we would have been in a bad way:
Here’s a typical conversation over
heard on the hockey field this week:
3:30—Now darling, keep your stick
down. Eemember that, always
down. Down I say on the ground.
3:40—Who is that in the purple thing
waving her stick in the air? You,
dear child—aren’t you the one I
told to keep her stick down? Well,
keep it down then, silly. The
ground is not going to hurt it.
3:50—You over there — you clumsy
thing in the purple top. Can you
hear me? If I see that stick up
just once more! Keep it down,
down, down I say
4:00—Stupid, stupid, stupid — are
you afraid to put your stick down?
Well —
4:10—You poor demented nuts —
you might as well put ’em down —
now. I’m as stubborn as you are.
We’ll just stand still ’til every
JUST BEFORE THE
DEADLINE
By Melba Mackie
Mary Davenport, star reporter of
the “Salemite, ” has run out of
ideas for once in her life. So she
wants me to write one of those liter
ary two-headed calves — a feature
story — for this issue.
The deadline is thirty minutes
away, so please excuse me, dear read
ers (Yes, both of you) if I seem to
hurry.
Now, let’s see, I could write about
the folk-dancing. Miss Appleby’s ex
cellent, though somewhat abrupt tu
torage, Mr. McEwen’s grace and
poise. But could I fill up the re
quired amount of space and would
niv feeble wit suffice? I doubt it.
Perhaps an article on the faculty’s
cars would do. (That was my stock
subject in high school). There’s
Mr. Holder’s newly acquired Pack
ard roadster and Dr. Anscombe’s
Plymouth. I could ask them what
their mileage was, but they, no
doubt, have more important matters
to consider without being annoyed
by the press.
Maybe a serious feature would
serve the purpose more adequately —
the number of books in the library,
the age of those antique reading
tables, a discussion of the newspaper
and magazines which the library sub
scribes to — but that’s been written
too many times before.
Aha! I have it ... An advice-to-
the-lovelorn-column. But what could
I tell the Salemites about that?
Nothing — so there’s another sub
ject to discard. ,
The repercussions of Salem’s visit
to Davidson might serve. P’instance
the dignified junior who drew the
freshman who said “Yes ma’am.”
And then there was Mary Sue Wall
who is getting romantical letters
from down that way. The increase
in the sale of Davidson stickers and
penants at the Book Store has been
noticeable, I hear, too. The funny
part of it is that there are several
girls who can’t even remember their
date’s names, try as they may. After
all, that’s stale now, so it wouldn’t
be at all appropriate.
Mary is yelling for her copy now,
so I’ll give her this. Any complaints
may be addressed to Miss Davenport
at her usual hang-out, South Hall.
Melba Markie.
single person has her stick on the
ground. You little elephant — put
your stick DOWN!
4:20_«!?*!‘> !! ?.
4:30—Oh — you cockeyed Salemites!
The campus seems to have quieted down a bit since the excitement
o£ last week-end’s trip to Davidson and the I. E. S. Dance. It’s a good
thing, too, because some of us were beginning to feel that classes were
incidental.
Salem’s representatives to the Press Convention held at Durham
last week report that they spent a very dBlightful and instructive three
days. Edith McLean, especially, seems to have come home, brimful of
ideas about advertising and a lot else.
If you had your pictures for the annual made right after that hard
test or the day before you had your hair curled, we sympathize with you
for we know just how you felt when you looked at those proofs the other
day. You probably don’t look like that picturo anyway; we know, though,
how carefully you’re going to examine that face in the mirror just to be
sure.
“Oh, to be in Education 215” sighed many, many Salemites when
Mr. McEwen toured off last Monday accompanied by most of the class
to hear a lecture at Duke University. Duke seems to be playing host
to Salemi girls a lot lately — both collectively and individually.
Tall, dark and handsome Jack Watkins (who, for the benefit of
underclassmen, was a freshman with the class of ’39) was here Tuesday.
Her only comment about the dignified Seniors was that she refused to be
impressed. She can remember the skating parties on third in Clewell and
the Saturday night sessions. Some people’s memories are too long!
Mary Turner, how much money did you say you won on the David
son game?
The general feeling concerning the game Saturday is that there
ought to be more week-ends like that and more hosts like Davidson. In
fact, the Publicity Department should distribute circulars to Annapolis,
West Point, Harvard, Penn State, Carolina, Duke, etc., saying we are
open to any bids!
