Friday, May 17, 1940. THil SALEMITa Page Five. jfcciiEiry siLCH STUFFING FOR THE HEN (With apologies to Sauce For The Goose). ■When the new staff took over the editing of the Salemite, your editors put their very wise heads together —as it becomes all editors to do— and emerged at the end of five min utes and exclaimed as with one voice “Ah ha, a column!” There upon they descended upon your cor respondent and named him colum nist they specified not at all wheth er “the column” should be some thing a la Lippman, or Winchell or Dorothy Dix. “Just a column,” they said. “You could air your sentiments.” But, seeing the utter impropriety of such, I decided to give serious consideration to the Present Situation, which is not the war in Europe nor the third term, but refers to the possibilities of which is something worthy of con templation in itself—Salem’s being in the beginning stage of a meta morphosis. Well, what startled me into aware ness was the conspicuous disappear ance from the bulletin boards of cer tain consummate notices to the ef fect that bare legs would not be tolerated on the campus. And then, whether by witchcraft or magie, someone engineered permission for the girls to splash about in the pool on a Sunday afternoon. And they do say that, when the hedge grows enough to conceal us' from the pub lic eye (which has an uncomfortable way of flattering our egos with too much attention) wo shall have ten nis and golf of a Sunday. Now I say that any enterprising newspap erman, in spite of the fact that he does not have access into the Inner Circles where in things are accom- pli.shed, cannot afford to ignore such as this. The fountains were dripping this week. On inquiring the occasion, I saw Dr. Kondthaler escorting people of trustee-ly aspect about. I hid be hind a bush but couldn’t hear a word. Mr. Brant Snavely and Dr. Downs have been doing the campus but they don’t talk very loud cither. One simply passes liy and wonders what goes on there. Wednesday, last, Margaret Patter- .son and Patty McNeely in educa tion class were obviou.sly not honor ing Mr. Owens with their attention, but were thoroughly engaged in re novating the handbook. It’s not that we don’t think the handbook needs renovating, it’s just that we practically broke our necks and jeopardized our passing marks in education trying to see what they were writing. What ever it is that Reece Thom as and Eugenia Baynes are wagging their sagacious heads about, we hope it goes through. We hope, too, that those two girls who were sitting so casually—to all intents and purposes absorbed in a contemplation of the clouds — outside Bitting basement, wherein the Student Council was passing judgment last Tuesday aft ernoon, will be somewhat more suc cessful next time and will let us know if “ anything happens. ’ ’ Meanwhile the public is cordially invited to use this space to suggest any ideas or express any sentiments that have been lying dormant—or have been suppressed by circum stances, as the case may be—these many months. rEENCH CIiTTB OFFICERS Pres., Eugenia Baynes.

We think Libby Winget should pay part of the cur rent phone bill because she may be found doing her share of the using of the instrument ’most any day right after lunch T . . The rest of the clan seem determined that Gracie shall make up her mind “which? guess, they must figure this is their last chance to find out who’s the choice one . . . Watson was so over whelmed when she took Pou’s man- call that her every sentence was a series of “yes, sir’s” . . . What for was ‘ ‘ Beany” in such a hurry to leave tlie supper-table Thursday night? . . . Night-school is over; Cliarles is back . . . Several long distance calls from S. Car. on Thurs day seemed to be fixing up a special fine post-exams week-end for Eve and Agnes Lee . . . Graduating re citals are finished; and we know five boarding seniors who are miglity re lieved and have fine right to be mighty proud . . . We’re all for more of them humdinger ridin’s in Jane Kirk’s luscious car and more gard- ners like Miss Anna to invite pansy- pickers . . . Why can’t we tell all we know? (Oh, you say we can huh? Nope: moral ethics won’t let us.) We know a nice, gory piece and we can say no more than “You re gonna lose your man if you per sist in Mtending alone all the social affairs of the week.” JUNIOR We just want to warn Coley not to get in any more bull sessions about the opposite sex for we hear she nearly pa.ssed out after the last one. Dear, Huck’s arms are ?till waiting . . . The Oak Ridge long distance the other night was as much a question mark to Kelly Anne as to the rest of us. Another one of the young lady’s hidden charms comes to the light! . . . Salem is go ing to be as well represented at Car olina this week-end as at Davidson a few weeks ago. Of course, with out “our” Patterson, but Sarah Linn will hold the fort down. And by the way we have reason to be lieve this affair of Sarah’s is some thing to be looked into . . . No one can say we haven’t got social strings, what with Teenie's Jim hit ting the headlines in the College Bazaar. Teenie says he didn’t have a date but when we count four of each it adds up to couples . . . Dob bins jumps from one extreme to an other—one night it is “nian-about- town” Coan and the next night a Beautiful Gifts and Dresses For the College Graduate • ANCHOR GO. Take Your Clothes Home Cleaned By le CAMPUS CLEANERS Personalites What was said last week still applies! —Editor’s Note. “Harry Reynolds High School” . . . From all reports Esther should have gone on the house party last week end if for no other reason than to instruct her roommate before and after each nap . . . Sassie’s at it again. We knew it would come after the May Day display of eyes. This time it’s Bob Glenn . . . Mildred, you might just as well retire to the library from now on for Dick Simp son has gone to Myrtle Beach for the summer. He won’t oven know now if you do get behind locked doors . . . SOPHOMORE So they tell me “Fitzy” figures “since school is almost oVer and the summer is well on the way, I guess I had better get in TOUCH!” (Girls, I think she meant TUNE, but one never knows does one—ah, sweet mystery of life!) Carolina seems to hold good times for us all, some time during our young lives. I dare say that Edith and Herrman won’t be able to study come reading day, or take on exam come Wednes day—that place just gets the best of you somehow! Mickey, they tell me “Chick” was oh—so sweet last week-end. Here’s to this summer and more fun with him! Marge Just can’t wait ’til summer when she can go homo for the wedding, say “hello” to everyone and come back down south. “Ze good ole summer time!” Reece is now a recognized member of ye ole ’smokehouse—even tho’ she hasn’t acquired the habit as yet. More power to ya’, keed! Marcia, how was the water Tuesday night—just another aftermath, huh? Wo were surprised not to see your friend Peggy along with you. Ruth and Sitto were talking to a car from Tenn. the other aftrenoon. Won’t bo long now girls! Me thinks Mar tha was pleasantly surprised last week end at Duke. Fairly good time, eh keed! A girl is getting to be a mighty good English student, when she can’t read a poem without see ing if the meter is ok. Girls, meet “Hosie”! Is that Emily’s influ ence or Mrs. Downs’ dear? Har, we are very sorry about your piece of bad luck for this week-end. Maybe “Sandy” will call the whole trip off—and Salem won’t be quite so unbearable in preference to Caro lina. Ruth, your fans w-ant to know why you insist upon not playing baseball with Johnnie. Come now, no holding out on us! We under stand that Leila, “Babe,’’and a few others like the game very much. Yes, there were many Sophs moving around very “easy-like” last week end after the skating party Friday night. Did you notice “Hedy” Mc Lean’s graceful fall and “come hither” look? It was readdy good, gals! Well, girls, since exams are nigh on the way, and there is work to be done—take care—and remem ber—the summer is yours to live for and I can't say anything to your friends in the “gossipy” way each Friday until September comes roll ing around again. “Remember I.

This is real- We Have Just the Right Thing For the Boy’s Graduation Present F^NK A STITH CO* I DARE SAY That I should start off with a Dear Readers, this being the last Salemite for the year, sort of drivel. Howsomever, the boss says we have a six page paper this week and I guess you’ll be having a lot of other stuff to wade through. That it seems as though the points system is causing a lot of trouble this year. I never did know who’s job it was to worry about said sys tem, but there’s a whispering campaign going about that many excep tions have been made to the rule. The consensus of opinion this year seems to center around the idea that there are plenty of girls in school so why give all the jobs to just a few. That many more shows as good and as enthusiastically greeted as the Colored Help Show will be the downfall of the Old Chapel. Some say the cheering and stomping of feet could be heard inside Home Mo ravian Church with the organ going full tilt. That the holding over of “Rebecca” afforded the best alibi of the semester. One could come in at almost any time of nite and blame it on poor long-suffering “Rebecca.” That I hope you all have a nice summer with lots of suntan. Moonlight nites and the like with few mosquitoes and blistered backs. CLOTHES TO BE (Continued From Page Four) derriere let’s all wear cotton pet- tycoats. When the wind blows—old fashioned nainsook is much more fetching than last winter’s pink •atin. Don’t pay gobs for these cute things—because they are to be had for a smigger or less if you’re a good shopper. Also for the wierd fad collections —there is the new parasol—guaran teed not to be waterproof. The cut est is red and white polka dot to match a white sharkskin semi sport with the same polka dot belt. That leaves one important item— bathing suits. There seem to be more of them than ever. The shark skins are neater. The cottons are baggier. The lastex are lighter-— and they are all prices. But honest ly I can’t rav'e over them until some good firm invents false legs—guar anteed to make toothpicks look like ly no time to make scoops on the latest dir- er gossip about the Fresh men. Don’t you agree? (Thanks.) Well, any girl who rates a beautiful corsage of red roses, when it aint even her birtliday, must have some thing there. What say, “Frannie?” . . . And Jane threw away time and studies to swing over to Davidson for that eventful week-end. If you notice “ Iji. D. ” (Miller, don’tcha know?) acting sort of queen-like a lord admiral or somethin ’ — don’t worry, she’s only practicing up for that Sophomore — Freshman Day next year. (Umm, poor things, and they were so innocent!) Time teach es, tho’, doesn’t it girls I Heard on the campus; Fuzzy Wuzzy was a little bear Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair Fuzzy W'uzzy wasn’t so fuzzy Wfuzzyt Will someone bring a glass of water? “Biddy” C. is having con vulsions — (or is that her form of hiccups?) Mmm these people who just pick up and go to Carolina for the Junior-Seniors! Meaning, of course, “ Weez” H. and “Cootie” lO. (Don’t worry gals, our time will come.) That week-end “up thar” in the mountains was bliss (or was it blis-ters) for Ann and Aggie W. P. S. — Note the sunburn, please. ’N have you see Carol’s picture of Bill? I strongly advise her to hide it (or him!) you understand, of course? Wonder what Henry has to tell Kit ty every nite on those phone calls?
