DAY STUDENT
Josie and Sanford have decided to
call it “quits.” It seems that Elea
nor is seeing more of him than Jo . .
No wonder “Mamma Baynes” was
so worried about Gerry after the
Civic Music Concert. She went to
Hi Lunch and didn’t get in until 3:00
a.m. Now girls you know the concert
didn’t last that long — or did it?
. . . We hear that Dottie has made
up with Charlie and she is now
wearing the ring again . . . Mary
Davenport is now wearing a huge
diamond on the fourth finger of her
left hand — a slight rememberance
from an ardent admirer . . . Sarah
has confessed her secret past and all
is forgiven . . . And then there’s Hol
brook who has been writing those
exquisite love lyrics under the in
spiration of a certain young man
from Harvard . . , They say that the
little Vernon child has broken all
ties with Oak Ridge (e^her inten
tionally or unintentionally) . . .And
speaking of ties its tragic when we
think of Betsy and Ralph who have
not been seen together for the past
six months ... Is it true that Jim
mie hasn’t called Juanita during the
three weeks.
FRESHMAN
Harvison Smith was having a
grand time with her Davidson date
Sunday night. Maybe it was her
purple dress that did it . . . Lost —
One tennis racket belonging to a
Miss Adams. She thinks she left it
somewhere — the gym, drugstore,
chemistry lab or perhaps at the ten
nis courts . . Sarah doctor in the
house? We freshies were inspired by
Dr. Parks speech Tuesday . . . Revo
lution!! Three girls armed with golf
clubs came into Chemistry class Tues
day. Maybe they wanted to get re
venge on Mr. Higgins for giving such
a long lab last week . . . I’m falling
off, I’m falling off — what Lucy?
The scales? . . .If only Colin or Half
Colin could have come two weeks
earlier. Then he could have made us
disappear until after term papers
were over.
SOPHOMOEE
Louisville must be a gold mine.
“Huck” has already sent “Coly” a
one-way ticket out there. Love and
the Kentucky Derby, eh, Kathryn?
, . . Have you heard about Nell
Kerns’ getting married after the
Grail Dance last week-end? No? We
haven’t either . . . Crack? Frances
Aldreth and Robert have broken up.
Can’t any Salemite keep a man? . . .
Harry Hendrick got bold enough to
liold Patterson’s hand — tsh, tsh.
What are the Davidson men coming
to? . . . Did you know A1 was going
to fly down for Cherry when spring

that an additional teacher be em

The salary may be small at first, but
the amazing interest and progress of

JUNIOR
Frances Kluttz has decided not to
go to State during Spring holidays
— she says she isn’t even going home
— just doesn’t want to leave Salem
. . . Frances Huggins says she never
wants to see Thomas again — she
said she has just been “stringing
him along” for these last five years
. Jim now goes to Greensboro to
date — sQ poor Lib Tuten just sits
here at Salem all the time and nev
er hears from him anymore . . . Ella
Walker says she never wants to
see V. P. I. again — says she has
never spent a more miserable week
end than she was there . . . There
must have been some misunder
standing between Mac and Agnes
Lee a few weeks ago — anyway
she hasn’t heard from him yet . . .
Louise Jackson certainly has quieted
down —- she hasn’t even had a tele
phone c,all in three weeks . . .
Gracie doesn’t want to see Jim dur

doesn’t worry about her trip to Flor

A DISCOURSE ON
METHOD
Apple-polishing is an', important
part in any college girl’s education,
and it must be followed with dili
gence in class work if it is to be use
ful and effective.
Anyone who isn’t wise enough to
do intelligent apple-polishing, isn’t
wise enough to be in college. Apple-
polishing, properly defined, is mak
ing oneself known to his professors
in a favorable light. More and more,
we are recognizing that education,
aside from giving technical knowl
edge, must teach one how to sell
himself properly.
Not everybody can do intelligent
apple-polishing — it takes years of
experience to master the art. Experi
ence alone can iron out all the diffi
culties w^hich are involved.
Along with this experience, the ap-
ple-polisher learns many things.
First, there’s the question of just
what kind of a professor can be
apple-polished — a question which
can be decided only by the experi
enced appie-polisher. This fact is
true because just as not everybody
knows how to apple-polish, not all
professors can be apple-polished.
Then, there comes the question of
just what method of apple-polishing
should be used on the particular pro
fessor who is to be apple-polished.
Just any method will not work — the
correct one must be used.
In deciding this question, the
apple-pohsher is confronted with
questions like this — “Shall I go
up after class and compliment my
professors on their lectures today?”
or “Shall I invite my professors out
to dinner tonight?” or “Shall I visit
my professors in their rooms and
whisper ‘sweet nothings’ to tliem?”
No one but a real apple-polisher —
an apple-polisher at heart —can de
cide.
Diligence and perseverance must
be followed closely in intelligent
apple-polishing. The two go hand-
in-hand, and apple-polishing, itself,
is fed up with them. ’

CHANGES TO BE MADE

by all means, be progressive. Edu
cation has, for many years, been too
hard to acquire. It has been wholly
the student’s responsibility but now,
at Salem College, things will be dif
ferent the teachers have promised
to shoulder the burden. At all times
during the day, some members of the
faculty wil be in the library to an
swer que.stions which the students
have, before now, had to look up in
dictionaries and reference books.
This is not a complete list of
changes to be effected in the library,
but the others are not as yet defin

the new plans and feels certain that
everyone will accept them enthusias
tically.

FAULTLESS FASHIONS
For your Easter bonnet the fashion
experts are advocating pastel col
ored lampshades trimmed with vivid
ly tinted chicken wire and chicken
feathers. If you think another style
of hat would be more becoming to
your type of beauty, however, may
be you would prefer the latest mill
inery creation that is being praised
by the Humane Society. It ig a
straw salad bowl which is secured
tightly to the head by a band of
cedar and which is covered with soft
down — this type of hat affords such
a nice roost for the many birds that
are seen on it.
To become an up-to-date and mod
ern figure every woman must adopt
the new type of coiffffeur and make
up. The latest trend in hair dresses
is to tint the hair a beautiful pale
green. Curls are screwed up on top
of the head and the ends of the hair
are either left straight or are softly
waved. The new make-up consists
of red eye-shadow; if, however, you
are adept at the art of making
yourself cry just before you are to
go out in the evening, you can do

added, the real charm lay in what
they didn’t say and do on the stage.
“Ah yes” he said, “that is true ac
ting, that is true genius — Action
so subtle that it can’t be seen but
can only be imagined is great ac
ting. ’ ’
Of course since Mr. Bennet, played
by Douglas Angel, had an unfortu
nate accident in the early part of
the play Mr. Welles did not venture
an opinion on his acting in an in
terview early this morning. Inci
dentally, Mr. Welles was pleased to
learri that Mr. Angel did survive
the fall over the footlights and is
recuperating nicely now. The prompt
er read his part “sotto voce” from
off stage and so the action was not
marred in any way whatsoev'er.
Mr. Welles asserted in an inter
view early this morning that Mr.
Prank Trotman was on the way to
being a second Barrymore — only
not so poor in some respects. “That
lordly air and haughty profile will
get the lad far” said Mr. Welles.
“We need a man at Hermes who can
wear a frock coat, too. That is the
most important aspect of acting —
the ability to wear clothes well.”
“Yes” Mr. Welles agreed in an
interview early this morning,” Alice
Horsfield would have made a great
actress. She had real depth of feel
ing. Too bad she felt so deeply when
she sneered at Lee Rice that she
broke a blood vessel — Too bad.”
Of the three younger daughters
Mr. Welles could not be too enthus
iastic. “What a trio of charming
girls! What wit! What kittenish
wa.vs. Truly, the future of drama
in America is in the hands of young
people as these, steeped in the glory
of dramatic tradition.”
Mr. Welles asserted in an inter
view early this morning that, of
course, when the play “Six Daugh
ters Have I,” was brought to the
Hermes Theatre the whole cast would
be changed — for the simple reason
that the illustrious people of the
original cast should preserve their
strength and genius for future oc
casions.
“You really have talent in this
cast” Mr. Willis asserted in an in
terview early this morning. ‘ ‘ Each
little action counted. The greatest
piece of acfng in the whole play was
done by Garrison Reid’s cane, when
it went, so expressivelp, like this:
That, Mr. Welles asserted is true ac

Salem has been fortunate to have
such a dramatic critic on the campus
at the time of the play. Mr. Welles
left late last night but will return
again someday.
away'with the eyeshadow. Blue or
green rouge and black or brown lip
stick are indispensible, however.
Your fingernails are to be polished to
match the lipstick used. The very
newest fashion style is to have your
teeth enameled the color of your
dress.
As for dresses, skirts are much'
longer. However, the latest Paris
gowns show beautifully tapered slips
falling below the hem of the dress
itself. These slips are so long in
fact that they show two feet below
the dress. The waistline for dresses
has fallen considerably — it now
tightly binds the knees. (And, by
way of an aside, I might say here
that Helen Wills Moody has been
fighting against this new waistline
fashion — she seems to think that
it cuts down a woman’s knee action.
Seeing that fighting her case against
the leading fashion experts of the
day was hopeless, however, Mrs.
Moody designed for the athletic type
of woman ^ special elastic waistband
that will give as the wearer exerts
herself'.
With the foreshadowing of a very
warm spring and an extremely hot
summer the shoe factories are being
slowly but firmly forced out of busi
ness. The latest foot fashion is to
paint your feet With a shellac that is
the color of your dress. This style is
much more comfortable in warm
weather and also provides a better
JON-I-QUIL-LYS MEET
DAFF-O-DIL-LYS IN
FLOWER BOWL
CLASSIC
Tomorrow afternoon the Joniquil-
lys will meet the daffodillys in their
annual Flower Bowl game to decide
the champion team of the Hockey
season. The two teams have met
twice previously each winning one
game. The Joiiiquillys won the first
game by the low score of 50-49, but
the daffodillys restored their pride
with a 49-48, victory yesterday. In
the game yesterday Maud Battle and
Mildred Kell were high scorers for
the Daffodillys, each scoring 24 goals
apiece. Frances Walker and Mattie
Mae Reavis fought back bravely for
the Joniquillys, but couldn’t quite
breake through the excellent defen
sive work of the Daffodillys. The
offensive work of both teams was
slow and “sloppy” but true ability
in their superb defensive work as
may be seen by the low scores. E.
Sue Cox and Betsy Hill the goal
guards deserve special praise for
holding the 'teams to the lowest
scores in the history of Hockey here
at Salem. Credit must also be given
to the two coaches, Mary Turner
Willis and Prances Turnage who
from their experience in elementary
training have made competent su
pervisors.
The line-up for yesterday’s game
was as follows:
Daffodillys Joniquillys
Maud Battle Frances Walker
Mildred Kelly .... A. Lee Carmichale
E. Sue Cox Betsy Hill
Tillie Hines Alice Horsfield
Ida Lambeth Jennings .... C. Walker

EXTENSION OF PHYS.
ED. DEPT.
After 167 yeans, the Board of
Trustees has finally found it proper
to turn Salem College into a co-edu-
cational school. Among the first
males to sign up for entrance are
Don Budge and fted Perry.
Already the Physical Education
Department is planning an extensive
program which will feature a match
played by Budge and Perry vs. Em
erson. This is an entirely new type
of tenni.s match, but we feel sure
that our “blonde bombshell” will
slide to an easy victory. We shall
expect much of each male student in
order that he may repay the Trus
tees for the privileges of admission.
Budge and Perry are going to bo
featured in the ballet “Le Cog

but wo feel we should tell you that
ballet has been a secret hobby of
these Helen Wills Moodys for a long

our new Students can do for us. I ’11
