Friday, October 2, 1942. THE SALEMITE Page Three. 9 eMeafui Wcuf.... It behooveth uh to start off on a brand now year, but the wolf Lath descended upon the fold ... so here we are again. All we ask is that you bear with us while we transcend the getting-in-of-hand Most of all, we want to say that we miss Dr. Eondthaler the worst; and from the very bottom of our hearts, w-e send our good little fairies to make him healthy real soon. Then come the freshmen. Have you honestly ever seen so many folks all at once It’s got to the place wh«re we’re not sure who belongs among us and who doesn’t. The only things we can definitely say are that they’re a mighty interesting looking crew . . . and right goodly in number. Children, we’re- expecting big things of you. Aside from the new faces, there’s the new building . . . such an abode! The chiefest attraction is that fluorescently lit mirror in the hall . . . then the precious wooden furniture . . . and them MATTRESSES! What a sleeping coul^d be laid on one of them! Please, H. Hallers, re member the poor aged Seniors . . . while you’re stretched out cozily on your Beautyrests, they’re over yonder trying to wedge themselves into the reliefs of 1930-1942 Seniors. Gruesome! Having married women among us is a pretty demoralizing arrange ment ... is there something about it that makes you feel like an old maid even if you’ve never suspected same before? S’eriously though, it’s great to have Vivian back . . . and we hope Doris will have three glorious days of honeymooning before she has to settle down again with her books. Ho hum . . . there’s just one more thing before we chloroform the room-mates for the night. It’s this: Mr. Weinland appeared before his Bible two-o-Bome-thing group with a my-such-a-popular-class sentence all set forth . . . immediately a voice from the throng volunteered, “Oh no, this is a required course!” There’s one in every household . good eve ning! ; MARTHA'S MUSIN6S Women of the Week ■i r JEAN FULTON I Meet Jean Ful ton, the girl of the brown eyes, brown-blonde hair, and luscious com plexion. Ah, the Belles of St. Ma ry ’s—what would !we do without . -themf ; j ' ] Jean comes from ^.JRoanoke, Virginia (for refernces, see Stoney), and is a junior because of her two years at our sister nunnery in Raleigh. For almost two weeks, ■we. of the Music App. class have wondered how it was that Miss Ful ton always knew what it was that Miss Reid was discussing. Then it came to light that she took such courses as organ and harmony last year. If you can talk her into it, you’ll find that she really can play a piano; but she is very hard to persuade. If you happen to be looking for Jean, there are four places where you would be likely to encounter her' in her room in Sister’s which can be identified by its gargantuan picture gallery, and which Mildred and Jean will tell you is the love liest and most attractive room in Salem College; or in the P. O. try ing to collect some of those millions of packages which have been arriv ing since Jean’s birthday on Sep tember 20th; or either in the Li brary or the smoke house . . . foJ" she is both a delver into knowledge and a girl who loves the golden weed. But wherever you find her, you shall know her by the pink, white,^ and blue striped sock upon wiiich she will be knitting—conserv ing wool, she says. Jeaij is one of our most attrac- SARA HENEY When we I arrived, she w e1c omed us to Salem and intro duced h e r- self as Sara Henry. We were im pressed b y her ready smile and her friendly personality. She was considerate of us in not making us feel as new as we were—Green Freshmen. She is the one person we all knew, and she helped us to get acquainted with other girls. We envy her Wrights- ville Beach tan and her good-look ing boy-friend. Sara Henry was very sympatheic toward us, especi ally 'vheu we were homesick. We found out later that she was from Luniberton and,'that she knew sonie one we know that helped heaps. All in all, we like Sara Henry a lot and are certainly glad she’s Stud ent Government president. She is attractive, good natured, and a good sport. She sets herself as an example which all of us will be proud to follow. We only hope that when we are Seniors we’ll be half the girl Sara is—then we’ll know that our four years here will not have been in vain. tive new students. She has a won derful clothes sense —■ si*® is friend ly and yet reserved in a .calm, eool, and c\)llected sort of way — she is a good mixes . . . fun to work with and to i)lay with — and she is also a dreamer. 'Catch her in a crowd and suddenly you will realize that Jean is no longer there. Well, dream on, Jean Fulton, Salem has already taken you to her heart. Room-mate trouble has broken out once again among the Freshmen. First floor Glewell recently had a real fruit-basket turn-over. Lights out, Girlies! Watch where you smoke, too. The campus if nice, but restrictions ain’t no fun .... agree Nancy Kenny, Helen McMil- lon, and Nancy Ridenhow? How ’bout you, Mary Lib Allen? Stu Saider, Stoney, and Nancy Baylon are invading V. P. I. for home-coming this week-end; while Normie and Carolyn sit here debat ing over whether to go to Davidson or Carolina, and Jean Fulton pre pares for V. M. I. Shop Bootn was in great demand last week-end. No, it wasn’t Kacky. Casserole has a brang new fascina tion under the title of I’ommy. Men tion Tommy or the Naval Air Corps, and watch her blush . . . actually! Ginor is really on the beam now . . . it was Wednesday’s letter that ironed out the wrinkles. Helen Robbins, class of ’46, got a letter from her last week-end’s blind date . . . she must have opened his eyes. That hasn’t happened since Little Yelverton blind-dated Wilbur three' years ago. Mary Lib Bray, from all reports, is keeping the wires hot these days. Bob (The Bob) callcd her Slinday. And in Bitting, Mot and Doris fight for the long distance operators. “The Lemon” can really be call ed Lehman this year . . . Emma can rest in peace. Eh, Ceil? With Mildred Lee on the campus, wo feel like Myra Blount is still here. Speaking of Mildred, ask her about *the Marine Hymn. Little Yelverton is losing money fast right now . Wasn’t it just this time last year that she laid all those wagers on a marriage to Sandy? Bobbie WJiittier was seen pouring over one of those letters a girl loves to get the other day . . . and Becky Candler is seen carrying some sort of brooch over her heart at all times. Noticed? Mot and Cootie are at it again . . . Davidson bound. Other prom trotters are crawling out for this Davidson versus Rollins garce . . . with Mary Best and Frances Yel verton leading list. Last week-end brought Salem in to the lime-light. Actually, it was over run with men. While skeeting around here ’n there, we saw Norm ie “Bobbing” around smiling from ear to ear . . . Betty G-rantham crew ing the rag with Gams Harriss . . . Nell Denning dating Shady Camp bell. My, my! 'And Sis Shelton, puny as she felt after her recent ill ness, was there with clyde Stroop. Those cute freshmen were flitting about with men in every pocket. Beware, Upperclassmen . . . they are not only cute but they can jitter bug! Mot are dying for the Fonp Free4oms. The least we can do here at home is to buy War i’onds—10% for War Bonds, -!very pay day. BUILDING & LOAN STANDARD ASSOCIATION 236 N. Main St.—Winston-Salem WELFARE’S DRUG STORE Sam E. Welfare, Ovmet Winston-Salem, N. C. Salem College Students: If this advertisement did not appear it would be the first time in thirty years of service to Salem College girls. Yours Sincerely, S'am. LOVE AND KISSES—JOE Noah Webster says an alligator is, “any of several crocodilians of the genus ALLIGATOR and allied gen era.” Well, Mr. Webster’s exi>eri- enee with said anmal was undoubt edly purely academic in nature. He (Mr. W.) apparently never opened his mail box on a slightly unset- tled-breakfast stomach to discover one of the monsters gaping hungri ly up at him. Mr. Webster’s grey ing process probably came in a per fectly natural manner . . . needless to say, ours didn’t. For those of you who might be ex pecting a similar love token from our armed forces, we dedicate, “The 'Care and Feeding of Alligators.” The first step is to get complete control of your nervous system . a few stomach strengthening exer cises might be advisable, since trou ble is prone to start in the abdom inal region. When you feel busted •with self-control, open the box (maybe you had better sit down and elevate your feet just in case your exercises failed to do the trick). Then let the creature wallow out . don’t be alarmed if its back and legs seem to have no connec tion; for some mystifying reason he was constructed thusly. At this point we suggest that you don’t stare at your pet for too long a period . . . otherwise you are, apt to catch yourself doing a broken armed Johnny Weismuller in your sleep. You’ll find, if you’re a close observer, that the baby has just ar rived at the show-ofE stage ... he likes to sit for hours shuttling his horizontal eye flaps ceaselessly; and occasionally raising his vertical eye flaps. If you have any heart at all, you’ll soon realize that you can’t possibly kill the dear thing . . . you can’t even send him back to torture his brothers! . . . you’ll just have to keep him yourself. (It’s comforting at this stage to know that Mr. Web ster declares that alligators born in North Carolina rarely grow over ten feet long . . . since all alligator farms .are located in either Florida or Mississippi this is little help). After the young alligator has ad justed himself to his environment, you may let him crawl on you for awhile to allay his craving for moth erly love. Then, of course, you must scout around for a home for him ... if you live in Bitting, the shower is ideal. You must, however, provide a spot where he may sun himself while you are bn class. Having him housed, you are left with only the food question to con sider: while he is still little (which won’t last long), his appetitie is delicate . . . for breakfast ho w'on’t w^ant anything except six flies, three salamanders (though ho doesn’t like them as w'ell, regular lizards will do), and half a pound of ground round steak. For lunch and dinner he prefers a sirloin or a T-bone . • ■ in pound and a half quantities. He shouldn’t be allowed to eat very much between meals, but you might toss him fifteen or twenty cock roaches with practically no ill ef fect. You’ll learn that if you feed your pet consistently his growth will be most rapid; by Christmas he should be big enough to stop that repulsive adolescent croak and be gin to growl outright ... by Spring Vacation the suite should be almost too small for him ... by June he should be just right for four love ly pairs of shoes and matching purses . . . provided that he hasn’t eaten' you by then. —Mary Best.
