THE SALEMITE
Page Three,
A hymn to Spring would suit better . . . but it wouldn’t
*>6 as fit to print. We shall, therefore, discuss life about the
campus for a few brief seconds.
Junior-Senior is over again, and it was) really one of the
high-spots. After three years of waiting, the Juniors finally
got to see what, there was to get all excited about. After the
tea dance, there were loads of dinner parties . . . and loads of
people who didn’t quite make it to the first ten dances of the
evening, and then complained about the dance being too short.
After the dance, there was a real gay party in the Club Dining
Room . . . and, all in all, it’s great to be a Junior.
We hear that there’ll be a blackout-out sometimri Friday
night. Poor John Mason Brown! ... his lecture time is sure to
be chosen for the hour of darkness; but, knowing J. M. B.,
he’ll probably enjoy the whole thing!
May Frolics will claim a goodly number of our dancing
sisters this week-end . . . and Davidson’s to-do will get a few
others. The only trouble seems to be that people were caught
with fewer cuts than they thought they had. Oh woe!
Does anyone else listen to the Chamber Music Society of
Lower Basiri Street? It’s really fine . . . especially this' week’s
interpretation of Charles Boyer’s love scenes with Hedy
Lamarr.
It’s mighty hard to realize that this year is practically
a memory . . . which brings into my mind the several term
papers awaiting my fair touch. And so a fond farewell and
pleasant dreams . . . don’t this column stink? Phew!
P. S.:—About this new smoking business . . . honestly,
we’re so happy that we’ve been shouting ever since the news
was announced. Thanks so m^ch, Advisory Committee . . .
and Smokers, PLOBASE-let’s keep our ducks in hand.

PET SAYING OF THE WEEK:
The Med. students have so few nights out that when
they do go out they don’t want an intelligent conversa
tionalist — quote, unquote from a Med. student.
Girls Beware!
Martha’s
Musings
If you don’t get to this column
before the black-out tonight, don’t
let it worry you. AH' interesting
gossip has been censored and what
I have to say can be read in the
dark — I think the Junior Senior
would have been much more excit
ing if the blackout had been sched
uled for Saturday night, April 18,
don’t you, seniors?
Wlyatt and her crew are getting
very jittery and their nervous ten
sion is not caused by the war situa
tion. But May Day promises to be
better than ever this year. I hope
that the May Dtiy dance will be a
success, but since men cost 25c ex
tra they may be rare, who knows?
— Carrie’s disposition has improved
considerably w’ithin the last four
days. W'hy? The answer will be
at the May Day dances, we hope.
Junior-Senior turned out very
well in spite of the last minute
fears. Andj the dinner party at the
Eainbow Room turned into Lindy’s
birthday party. Lindy has two
birthdays every year. But life has
come back to earth again although
a few starry-eyed seniors (Mile.
Bralower included) are still talking
about last Saturday night; Miss Hes
ter’s blind date was a knockout. She
naively informed her friends that
he was very nice, a Phi Beta Kappa,
a student entering law school at
Carolina next year, a very good-
looking man, a marvelous dancer,
and, “All I could get from him was
‘goodnight, Miss Hester I’m very
glad I came.’ ”
There’s one nice thing about May
Day which is worth walking all the
way down the gym steps and sitt
ing on the hillside with the other
bugs, and that is: Ceil Nuchols
looking decent, with her hair comb
ed down, make-up on etc., etc. You
wouldn’t realize how much modern
science can do to change the look of
any one person. She actually can
look like a No. 1 glamor girl.
Reece is still quaking from tho
narrow escape which she experienced
last week. Carrie, tho head of the
Date Bureau, almost got her a, date
to Junior-Senior. W’lio was he? Miss
Donnell knows all tho answers.
Eleanor Hutchison knocked State
off its feet last week-end at their
Jnnior-Se»ior. She has come back
a full fledged technician. Pity her
poor pupils!
Orchids, and defense bonds to Re
becca Averill for winning first prize
in tho posture contest! S'alem girls
will have to walk around with hooks
on thoir heads now to keep up the
good record. But next year wo
won’t have Leila to set the example
for us.
Well, time is flying and it’s al
most time for the black-out to end.
Martha bids you a fond farewell
and leaves this suggestion (con
structive, I hope, Newman) for tho
future feature editor of the Sale-
mite: such columns as this should
never bo allowed to go into print.
It has succeeded only in one way:
in boring tho reading public. Mar
tha solemnly swears to muse no
more. She takes leave of this world
to enter the blessing grounds with
all other dead animals.
Here is her epitaph:
Here lies the remains of poor
Martha
She always carried gossip further
Than she had a right to.
WITHIN THE HEART
The greatest sorrows never find
Relief by shedding quiet tears.
But rather leave within the mind
A sadness felt through all tho
years;
A sadness never left beside
The open grave of one held dear,
But rather carried till it died;
A smothered sob, an inward tear,
A sorrow never lifted quite
Or washed by countless fears away.
The quiet sobbing in the night
Is never vanquished with the day,
but still at times a faco is seen,
A voice, a whisper as before,
A friendly word, familiar voice,
An entrance at a sacred door.
The sorrow smothers not the ghost.
The hope of that which could have
been,
But leaves a faint and shining ray,
Hope springs within the heart of
men.
—Sue McFadycn.
Betty Barbour was heard to re
mark that she was afraid she was
getting along too well with the
Med. School.
Have you noticed the frequent
trips Eugenia Baynes makes to the
P. O.? It wust be “male” trouble.
It seems that Mary Louise Rous
seau’s man, who is at Harvard, call
ed from said place the other night
to tell her that! he had received his
commission in the Navy.
