Friday, February 17, 1939. THE SALEMITE Paj?e Ihree* ^ FEATDCES rCATUCCS ^ BEAUX AND ARROWS! DAY STTTDENT I wonder what is so mysterious about “Dottie’s” red roses . . . Holbrook, we hope your troubles with the cuts committee will soon be straightened out in regards to your trip to V. M. I. next week end . . . Betsy is having a hard time with the “Carolina Buccaneer” these days .... Josie, why so many “Mtful” glances toward the bleach ers at the game Tuesday night? . . . Hedgecock, what about having your own private telephone installed in South Hall . . . Telegrams made up the valentine contributions from Mo ravian to Salem College; among those receiving them were Mabel Pitzer, Helen Lineback, Jane Hire, and Catherine Bronson. freshman Everybody is talking and think ing Mardi Gras now — we saw one of our most sophisticated Freshmen trying on a regal costume the other nite — wow!! . . ■ There were many broad smiles last Tuesday — St. Valentine, you know! Did you no tice Hattie Crystal, Ann Fischell, Ann Shankle — nice going gals! They say Bootie received roses — dear ole ’ Vie. . . . Tough luck, iPitzy —■ maybe he will call again! Hope!! . . . Three cheers for our cheer lead er, Pat Mitchell. Eah, Rah, Rah — Wish Jack could witness a freshman game . . . It’s a shame Marie wasn’t here to receive Chink’s telephone call Tuesday isn’t it? Anyway he called . . . We wonder which Frank sent Copie her gardenias . . . How was the candy William sent, Naney? . . . Jo Brill has finally recovered from getting Freddie’s candy a day late . . . We hope Pat Barrow does not turn into a comic valentine. She only got six of them . . . Bootie only got six of them. SOiPHOMORE Reports from Saint Valentine’s Day are now in order. From the looks of things. Second floor fared very nicely; red heart-shaped boxes wore too familiar looking by the time the day was over. Lib Dobbins was the envied person with flowers from “him”. Flowers mean true love, don’t they? Steve came across, too, didn’t he, Nell? And they tell me Lyell Glenn’s big box of candy was from Carolina. Maybe.it was from Spencer? Kelly and Katherine’s Cit adel telegrams came late in the day — but better late than never. Betty Gilliam’s room looked like a candy store advertisement. So did Mil dred’s until — who did it, girls? That was a pretty dirty trick, any way — Another picture of T, V. A. came with some fish. Patty heard from the long-lost Rippy today. Thank goodness!

JTTNIORS The Juniors were quite popular on Valentine day. Louise Norris and Eve Tomlinson received flowers. Frank Huggins, Grace Gillespie, Mary Jo, Ida, Agnes Lee, Katherine Ledbetter, Kathryn Troxler, Libby Winget and Anne Mewborne re ceived candy . . . Sarah Ruark’s best valentine was when she learned that Trent was coming to the Mardi Gras . . . Louise Jackson, what’s this we hear about you “taking over” Rosalind’s ex-? . . . Chubby Hayes caught the bride’s bouquet and a very attentive groomsman got the ring in the cake at a wedding last week — oh, oh — we ’11 be read ing your mail, and the papers, Chub by!! SENIOR We hear that some of the comic valentines received on third floor Senior were very fitting (especially one in 304, and we don’t mean Martha’s!) ... ask Worthy if she believes in the maxim “an old flame never dies” . . . was Turner’s really a valentine, or a hang-over from Christmas? . . . Mary Lee, if we were practice teachers, I’ll bet we’d get thirty valentines too! . . . Rainv weather is good for flowers, the florists think. Ask Pan about it ... of all the seniors’ telegrams we’ve read today we haven’t seen an original one yet. These are typ ical; “If I were seven and you were nine, I’d say: ‘Please be my valentine’.”, and our old favorite “Roses are red and violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you ”... To Bill goes the honor of receiving the most “intellectual” valentine— “The Plays of Eurpides.” . . . Louisa received the most original ones: Ferdinand The Bull and a yhite panda from Hahvard! (Tut, tut!), also and airmail special this week (what about the marines, Lou ise?) ... If anybody get’s hungry, come over to senior and help us eat our “lonely hearts” candy . . . Mac got a nosegay from a “pseudo-in tellect” he sounds smart enough to us . . . Tootie, what have you got to show for yourself after a whole week at the University of Virginia? News flash! F. Watlington refused a date this week, our snoopers heard (don’t ask us where) . . . Bob Mc Arthur used Tootie’s ticket at the concert Saturday night, and he’s been called'“Marjorie” ever since. DELUXE EDITION Man is a paradoxical creature. Or at least he must be if he lives up to requirements stated by Salemites in answering last week’s questionnaire “How Does He Rate With You?” In answering the first question Salemites — with two exceptions ■— agreed. He does not have to look like Tyrone Power to get along with the ladies. One desperate damsel says she will even take a man who looks like Charlie Chaplin! But if looks don’t count, a neat, well- groomed appearance does — definite ly. Salemites are insistent upon that. Many requests were made that a man dress well. Though he need not be a clothes horse, he should not spoil the impression of the handsome couple by wearing dirty collars and crumpled ties — after she has spent three hours dressing! What kind of faces do the girls prefer? They like ’em honest. Glam our apparently has no appeal, for in the counting, sophisticated and play- boyish types lagged far behind. One voter prefers hers dissipated (May be she has a mania for reforming!). As for the intellectuals, they’d bet ter hide behind their books and for get about the women, for they re ceived only four votes in their favor. A frank, pleasant, not-too-handsome face wins the vote. Ladies don’t prefer blondes — at least not at Salem. Brown eyes, brown hair (nice if eurly, but not necessarily so), take the lead, al though the race is almost nip ’n tuck — the difference being one vote. Red hair came in for a very feeble share. Thumbs DOWN on mustaches! That’s unanimous — and includes bristly beards too. As for height, the ideal man is preferable on the up and up. Tall, taller, extremely tall ■>— were the answers. One voter wants him 6 feet 5 inches; another, “ag tall as Dick,” (paging Dick!). There were a few lowbrows, how ever, who asked for 5 feet 8 inches, 5 feet IW inches, 5 feet 11 inches. About half the voters absolutely re fused to go out with men shorter than themselves. (“Helpless-little- me lines” don’t go over with little men!) Intelligence is required. A brain is preferred to a build ten to one. The majority of Salemites prefer a man of the same intellectual level as themselves, although many would like for him to be more intellectual — or to think he is. A few desper ates will take men of less intellect as a last resort. One (who is the genius?), says she will have to take one of less brain. What shall he talk about? He’ll sit in the parlor of Alice Clewell and talk about books and music. When he has exhausted the subject there, he’ll turn to literature and then to latest song hits. Finally he mixes a smattering of politics with chatter on top orchestras and the movies and occasionally he gets around to art — So the votes say! A few honest souls prefer him to talk about: (1) Me; (2) Love; (3) Me; (4) Love; (5) People; (6) Me; (7) His Interests; (8) Love. A boycott on apples is to be ex pected anyday — according to the votes. For the chosen profession for this deluxe edition is medicine. Salemites prefer that there be a doctor in the house. Next eligible is the lawyer and straggling along behind are the merchants, bankers chemists, engineers, journalists, sail ors, and Puller Brush Men. Not all women are gold-diggers. Salemites ask that he have only a comfortable amount. A few are in different to the whole question, and one young romantic is willing to live on love and a dime.. Prom twenty to twenty-flve is the prefer red age although about hi,If of the voters (seniors?) like the “older man” — twenty-five to thirty. All agree that he must be several years older. Further proof that all women (Continued on Page Four) I DARE SAY Absolutely the funniest story of the month is the one Jo Band, Jessie Skinner, Frances Tumage, Mary Lee Cowper and Mary Farmer Carlton are telling about their field trip for Sociology which they made to the Salem Home. They called before to set a time and the lady who answered the phone was slightly deaf. She understood that the girls wanted to present a musjcal program. When the girls visited the Home they were amazed to find each old lady in her best bib and tucker waiting expectantly in the sun parlor to hear some music. Much confusion resulted when the girls flatly refused to play the piano or to sing. How much value they received from that social service work is for you to estimate! Poor Mr. Suavely complained last week that he was the lone, lone male in the Book-store and that his life was made miserable by all those women over there who picked on him. Have you ever seen type-setter’s swearing? Usually, it is the job of the poor proof-reader to cut it out, but some of it is so priceless that we can’t help mentioning it here. In last week’s “Salemite” in the first proof there was a line which ran like this: “Unfortunately, the idea is prevalent that the Order of the Scorpion is an honorary fraternity . y klomryltz ?!!()*’!’'?!!) It is not .!*??•!” Oscar was in rare form that day! Another bouquet is thrown today to the girls who sat on the stage at the recital by Kirsten Flag^stad. Such lady-like posture and still, dignified composure of the ones on the front row is to be praised! A suggestion to the ones in charge of the Salem girls who sit on the stage, if they ever do again: Wouldn’t it be less confusing to the eyes of the audience and detract less from the gown of the artist if the girls on the stage would all wear black or all wear white dresses? Katherine King and Esther Alexander report that their lizard “Dogonit” is loose — calling all lizard-catchers I Sanford’s presence at the Sophomore-Senior basketball game last Tuesday night seems to have inspired Josephine’s pre-game free shots. Suggestion: At the final game invite the big moment,of each member of both teams and we really would see some playing! A modern version of the Good Samaritan story was seen at the afore-mentioned game. Those who saw Mary Worthy Spence stop to pick up, with One hand, little Sallie Emerson (whom she had knocked over in flight), while passing the ball with the other will know what t mean. We expect Worthy to be the lady even in a basketball game. Marie Fitzgerald has a young friend who is workjng at his first job — putting in water works in a small town down near Raleigh. When it rained all week she was sure that he had done something wrong and every morning we hear her entreating him, ‘*0h Dick, please get out your textbook and start all over again!” Miiry Turner Willis tried on a lovely spring (tra la la) dress up town one day last week. Its only decoration was a bunch of cowbells hanging at the neck. Mary Turner didn’t buy the dress “Those darn cowbells rang everytime I changed my mind,” she said. And, after all, it is a woman’s perogative! FIREMAN, FIREMAN, SAVE MY COAT Who could be blowing their horn so loud at this hour, and who could be ringing the door-bell so insist ently? Those were my first thoughts when I first heard the fire alarms in Clewell and Bitting, then slowly light came as the horn across in Clewell continued to blow with a loud growling sound. I finished a paragraph in the letter I was writ ing, leisurely got up and stretched, fussed a bit and yelled at the room mate. She yawned, got up and we stood in the doorway trying to re member how to fix the room. Finally we turned on the radio, struggled into our coats, shut the closet doors and went out in the hall. We got into the stream of traffic and were finally lined up under the willow tree. The horn in Clewell was still blowing, lights were on everywhere and the building was being vacated. We stood in a little bunch, think ing of those comfortable beds we had left. Finally the captain de cided to call the roll, except she didn’t have it with her, so she called it — hesitatingly, from menjory. It went something like this — “Peg gy? — that’s Peggy Bowen, er, Tootie? is Tootie here? — Oh, she’s out of town. Louisa, Glenn? — let’s see — oh yes, Peggy Rogers?, V. B.? — where’s V. B., is she here?” and so on. After an age we trudged back into Senior, and climbed in bed rather provoked that there hadn’t been a fire to make it worth our trouble. Next day there was talk of some one sleeping through the alarm and someone else dashing in to waken the sleeper, another tale of someone smelling smoke, grabbing her fur coat, and running! Let’s have a Drill every night — they’re such fun! DUKE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OP NURSING DURHAM, N. C.
