i Friday, March 27, 1942. THE SALEMITE Page Three. 9 Jtea^ 9t ^lUi 'lOcuf>... I A whole lot of things have probably happened' this week ... but honestly it’s a mess to try to keep up with current ' events and write fifteen term papers at the; same time. To top j the whole works off, Mr. Kenyon got the test urge just like we knew he would . . . after he got his pipes back, too! ■ In all this miserable gloom, there have been at least I three bright and shining faces about the campus. Did you see : Dodie and Peggy and Mot Wednesday? It was a gay day for j them with the following calendar of the day’s activities: de parting to the P. 0. at nine A. M., going downtown shopping, dining, bowling . . . and concluding with an owl show. I If you’re looking for some really good, quiet entertain- I ment, scout around for the fantasies which the comp, class pro- j duced . . . honestly, they are well worth recognition. And|.“f’ j speaking of papers, have you seen Lucille Newman’s term pa- ‘ per on Schubert? It’s so beautiful that Miss Byrd is going to correct it on a separate sheet of paper toi avoid marking it up. It’s confoozin but definitely not amoozing the way our school clock totters around these days. Must be a hangover from something . . . maybe it couldn’t take the change to war ' time. Let’s make a plea that our clock'be kept with Eastern war time, not with birdlike fluctuations of the Home Church Clock. What about it ? At this point my conscience is prodding me back to the grind, so goodby until the seventeenth . . . and the best of vacations to you all. SECOND CHILDHOOD?? BITS OF BLARNEY FROM THE BARN Can the faculty play basketball? j Not at all, my dear, not at all. I They’re much to clumsy to dash : around J That’s ona reason, and it’s pretty ' sound. Also, they’re much to opolite. They’ll probably say When a girl’s heading for the bas ket, “Here, madam, right this way. Or (blush-blush) would you think me too bold?” } Another thing stands in the fac- i ulty’s way They’re bashful. I’ll bet not a one would stay On the floor — they’d give up the game If they heard a girl call them a I nasty name. Can the faculty play basketball! Come see for yourself. Come one. Come all. P. S.—Time 7:45 P.M. Admi.'fsion, 15c, For Library Fund. DR. RONDTHALER SPEAKS tN CHAPEL In Thursday thapel. Dr. Bond- thaler gave an interesting talk on the life of the famous educator John Amos Comenius, whose birth will have its 350th anniversary this Saturday. Comenius was a Bishop of the Unitas Fratrum (now tho Moravian Church) during the days of persecution of the Thirty Year’s War. Last Tuesday in Chapel, Dr. Eond- thaler spoke about the daily events in the life of Christ during Passion Week.

YOGLER SERVICE Ambulance Funeral Directors Dependable for More Than 83 Tears DIAl. 6101 A CASE FOR MEDICAL SCIENCE For days now certain symptoms have been cropping up —'a certain allergy to melting, dirty snow, a hearty dislike for that cold raw wind which sneaks up my coat sleeves and nips at my wrists, a dis taste for the very barren, very life less trees on the square, a lack of interest in classes dealing with such well worn subjects as Shakespeare and Biology, an intense desire to scream at the sight of oatmeal for breakfast again, and even an im patience with my roommate, who persists in leaping out of bed at 7:30 in the morning, to slam the window with great glee, and make such statements as, “The snow’s still hero!” or, “I think it’s oven colder than yesterday!” — Yep, they’re all there —' tho familiar symptoms — and I might as well face it; I’m about to come down with “ Wanderlustrium American- ” or, as it is known to many. To Hell with It Allitis, ” again. It can’t be avoided now. I was the victim of my first case of this disease my freshman year in high school, when I suddenly realized, one particularly dark day, that the prospect of catching tho 8:15 train for school that morning, and succeeding mornings, wasn’t particularly enthralling, nor was the prospect of attending my remedial class in Plane Geometry that after noon, and succeeding afternoons. I have been a victim, annually, ever since. As you can well imagine, those early symptoms are both unpleasant and uncomfortable, for they result in my general bad temper, argu ments with my room mate, and my antagonizing of the faculty, who come to regard my obvious boredom in class as downright rudeness, little realizing that the seeming lack of interest is unavoidable. All in all. I’m a miserable creature. The second and final stage is reached when I awake one morning, almost pleasant to my roommate, down tho now dreaded oatmeal with out a murmur, and even fail to get i'rito \B. quarrel wiHli, one df my friends, the one connection to the first phase of the disease being my attitude in class, which, unfortun ately, remains the same. I am now in the “dreamer” stage. I read, avidly, all adventure stories, study carefully the advertisements in “Harper’s Bazaar,” pertaining to cruises, trips to the west, and skiing in New England, devoting tlio rest of my time to dreaming of past summer vacation in Arizona, and on tho cape. Naturally this is the most seriou.s stage of the dis ease, and in preceding bouts with it I have been known to send off for travel po.sters, and vacation suggestions, and at one time — my Senior year in high school, I be lieve, I actually wont so far as to write a Tahitian love story, an ab sorbing talo, dealing with “sway ing palms and star-studded nights.” So you see there is no telling to what lengths I may be driven. The unfortunate thing about this disease is that the length can not be determined, for the crisis is reached slowly, and tho fever can bo broken by any number' of things such as an especially bright sun shine, the sight of some tiny green buds on an apparently lifeless tree, a crocus, a robin, and one year it was done by simply seeing a cat lazily stretching in the sun. So you understand there can be no pills taken for it, but wo must just let it run its course. With all this in mind I hope that all you that I might annoy in these next few weeks will bo patient with me, for perhaps the day isn’t too distant when I’ll come in whistling cheer fully, say good morning nicely, and self-consciously display some violets in my hair. SPANISH CLUB MEETS On last Wednesday evening, the S'panish Club held its monthly meet ing. Latin-American students who are enrolled in tho C. P. T. Course at the local airport were tho guests. Juan Miranda, euban consul, intro duced the guests and two of them gave short talks in their own lan guage, Spanish and Portuguese. Betty Brietz, president of the club was in charge of the program which featured games and songs in Span ish. Befreshmonts were served. Although the dirt has been clean ed up around the barn, we’ve been snooping in the corners. We hoar that Nancy’s heart beat is in the Virgin Islands and that Jane has met tho doctor’s mother ... in the cobwebs we find that Lib was in tho figure at Davidson. According to( tho stars, Bcftsy, bewaro of a good-for-nothing blond — and Eleanor still remains neutral. Since Lucretia wasn’t in the mood, she chose to slide down tho banis ters. Wl' hoar Charlie is doing al right in High Point — since tho corn Cobb has rotted! Who does Ejj^e talk to over the phone for hours — Jim (f). Rous.seau has been primping for her seven day Piaster date. The army hasn’t got all the men, have chal’s man is now. Under the rug we find that Buggs is interested in various branches of the armed forces. Little Iloster still gets her daily mail (male). Jackie still has her big man. In the cloud of dust, we see Vardell still making the rounds. While shaking tho mops, now romances fall out too numerous to mention. So till next week when the Barn has accumulated more dirt, we are yours truly. 1’. S.—Spring has given M.
