Friday, October 23, 1942. THE SALEMITE Page Three. Women of the Week CATHEEINi: WALSEE You know Cacky Walser; you knew her long before you came to Salem; You’ve known her since you first started dream- i n g of a crowded dorm room, resound ing with laugh ter and the jumble of latest recordings. Y'ou were not surprised when she smiled a warm “Helloo” that first day. It even seemed as if she knew you too, because she remembered your name and asked you to come join the jam-session in her room. Yes, you’ve known Cacky and expected to find her here; although you have never actually met her in Concord or at Peace, which she attended for five years. You may ask just how you may find this freshman in whom is hid den the real secret of a winsome personality. Go to third floor of Alice Clewell and follow your ears. You will end up in Caeky’s room, the hang-out of third floor. She may be recognized particularly by her famous pair of slinky red jer- pajamas with' the mid-rift. Just mention them, and anyone on the hall will know whom you mean. You will also know her by her masterpiece—a rose sweater which she knitted herself. There was one slip-up, however: she must have planned to make two sweaters, and just doubled the knitting direc tions. In more 'serious moods, Cacky re solves to Chinese bridge and ‘ ‘ Djrty- eight. ” Her supply of phono graph needles is divided in half: part, for “Kalamazoo” and her Well-known jitterbuggin’; the rest for “A White Xmas” and thoughts of thq Air Corps. Although you usually picture Cacky in the center of a hilarious group of friends, she has her own ideals and dreams—one of which is interior decorating. We predict that the serious side of college won’t be neglected. Cacky is like a piston in the fast moving engine’ of freshman life, for through its energy the machine slides easily into high gear. The all important piston fits snugly in the cylinder: Cacky fills her place ELIZABETH BECKWITH Lib Beek- with? Who doesn’t know the newly- elected “baby- doll” house president o f Sisters, the famous singer of Hawaiian songs (remem ber last year’s Sophomore Court?), and the gal who hails from West Vir ginia. Good-natured Lib has sel dom been found in an unpleasant mood. She is noied for her swell sense of humor, her willingness to help, and her unfailing interest in seeing that the people around her are happy. Lib is not a “dryball,” but how does she make all those good grades? It must be plenty of that thing called good common sense! Clean, whoesome fun ap peals to Lib, as much as an after meal session in the smoke house with a beloved weed in her hand. Not only does Lib have an even temper, but she also has ambition plus. At the present, she is very much interested in law, and fan cies herself a dignified judge rul ing a criminal court. What an mi- I>osing picture our jolly, auburn haired Lib makes as a solemn judge. Beside being interested in law, Lib loves to read fiction and to knit. She is bent and determined to fin-^ ish a sweater by October the thirty- first, which is the deadline. In sports, no one could find a more ardent golf fan than Lib. Any free afternoon of the week, she may be seen ambling down to the golf course, or trudging up the steps of Sisters with a golf bag slung over one shoulder. Lib also plays a swell game of ping-pong, and woe to the person who chal lenges her to a game. All in all we like this unspoiled, all-American girl. Come on, Lib— Salem is expecting great things of you. in college activities. Cacky does not have any gas rationing or speed restrictions to slow down her j)ace. Getting along with people is sec ond nature with Cacky. She talks as easily with a senior as with a freshman, and her poise and spon taneous wit keep her in the spot light wherever she is. SOPH COUET- Clark in general. To high priest Bayley go the hon ors for undoubtedly the most orig inal clothing of Freshmen . . . pad ded sweat shirts, padded pajama trousers, high topi shoes, white past ed faces, and incredible coiffeurs. To the committee of punishers goes the credit for some few ideas which haven’t been exploited previously. -THOMAS— WHEN YOU OUTGROW ’EM Any ole rags, shoes, or suits out grown ? If so, just give ’em to me and no longer I’ll moan. To look my best in finery and new clothes. New features must be added . . . such as eyes, mouth, and nose. Now I’ll begin at the top and work down, ^ud see just what looks in Salem can be found. I’ll take the crow-black hair of Julia Garrett, ■^nd with the luscious brown eyes of Lea Sfiillivan, I’ll wear it. From Edith Longest, I’ll take a kiss- able mouth. And Mary Boylan’s skin . . . lovely in the dryest draught. ^\Jith the Seville Grecian nose, I’ll be lovelier than anyone knows. Now to choose my figure neat . . . Then all of the world I’ll bepre- pared to meet. One more trait I’ll have to take . . . The Mary Best figure wins the cake. This unknown figure (I wish it were me.) Will look stunning'in any “out- grownations” from thee. I’or “Sunday go to Mieetin’ day” ‘ Stoney’s purple job is mighty gay. To be sophisticated and have that certain swing, Ceii’s black dress with all the strings is just the type for those gold earrings. I'or football games, I tear my hair* . . , Nothing to cover this back so bare. 1 wish I had the suit of Fulton, Jean ... The one that is a knoek-out in the shade of bright green. The hinges of my closet are worn From opening and closing each week da.y morn . . . I search for things‘which are not there. Nothing to classes have I to wear; So, if “Little” Yelverton will ,be so kind, I’d love to inherit her creation so fine. The blue sweater of Becky Cozart, With the suit “up-yonder,” will be very smart. Normie’s purple skirt and lavendar sweater is just the type To wear to the movies any ole night. The collection of saddle shoes, play shoes, and all From June Brown would be a gift not too small. The tan gabardine number of Doris Beale Is just the thing for a husband- speel. To dress up my soul and keep real warm. Sis Shelton’s fur coat will c.o no harm. There are millions of “glad-rags” I’d like to own; But gosh. I’m tired of composing " ... you .might have known. I’d like to have Eousseau’s white gabardine, Mary Best’s plaid, Dodie’s sweater, and Wooten’s red. To bring these desires to a close, I’ll speak of formils which really glow . • • Tranyham’s satin is mighty slick, And Grantham’s blue net will do the trick. Amen! Models . . , Just to let you know • • • I’ll takei ’em all when you outgrow. —^Peggy Nimocks. of the motor. Ten minutes later, the crowd at the stage door scattered to let the big-little man in the brown trench coat saunter nonchalantly through to the dressing rooms. He was in no hurry; he was obviously enjoy ing complaining about the state of Winston’s transportation. Two minutes later still, the same big-little man was out on the stage in beautifully cut tails . . . sol emnly ornamenting “The Star Spangled Banner.” John Charles Thomas sang the excerpt from “Figaro” with all the ingratiating charm of a master . . . The split second he stepped between the wings, his entire personality changed. He vocalized nervously and flipped his co|it tails about un til sufficient applause warranted an encore. After the encore, he vo calized his way brusquely to the dressing room; the reporters trailed along shrugging their shoulders. Mr. Thomas removed his dress coat and vocalized. , His manager and accompanist murmured some thing in French. Mr. Thomas strug gled back into his dress coat and added the brown trench coat, call ing, “All right, quick questions and short answers.” He was very bored and matter-of-fact . . . very an noyed at being interviewed during intermission . . . very short and aloof. The reporters hastily gath ered bits about his hobbies: that he likes golf and fishing . . . that he loves boats, even the “back porch” of them . . . that he enjoys a good party when he’s not working . . . that he never smokes. They scribbled notes about how he prac tices every morning from nine- thirty until one . . . about how he’s learned two hundred and forty songs in the past year and is learn ing twelve new ones right jiow. (This information, incidentally, shatters the rumor of his repertoire being so large that he hasn’t had to learn a new song in ten years) ■ . . about how he’s been on tour since the seventh of October and will remain until the twenty-first of November . . . about how he plans to rest and study from then until tours begin again in Feb ruary. “And is that all?” The reporters gritted their teeth and meekly nodded after the brown trench coat swaggering toward the door. —0.

WEST 4th STREET VOGLER SERVICE Ambulance Funeral Directors Dependable for More Than 84 Tears DIAL 6101 This week’s census proves that few persons except the poor fresh men will be on the campus this week-end. And while we’re on the subject of freshmen—orchids to their good showmanship during sophomore court and also for their ability to make beds. We mean ‘■‘pie” beds, of course. Well, Doris Nebel Beale is off again! Need we say more? And Mary Lib Bray is up in the air! She might see Bob this week end, but then she might not. This army considers no one. Little Yelverton wears Joe’s wings, yet she writes Sandy— “Dearest darling, I miss you so much.” . What to think? All the freshmen are up in arms! Anne Jones was complaining the other day that she was gonna have to miss State homecomings and Fall Germans. Julia Garrett complains that she might miss Davidson home comings. Va. Bartley has already missed V. P. I. ring dances and might not get to said place for openings. Oh, these poor “loco” freshmen. V. V. is off to Hickory to visit her family. Of course, Jimmy’s be ing there is purely incidental. Kemp is off to Augusta after much fussing about Hoy and vari ous decisions. Betty Moore is much elated over her new Davidson “find.” It must be great! Seville came rushing into the Smoke House the other night prac tically crazy from delight because Ed had called her all the way from Texas. In fact, it cost him almost $4.00. P. S. It was really Doris Beal from senior. If it isn’t one thing it’s an other. Normie is off to Davidson, Fayetteville, and of course, she has two invites to Fall Germans. And her roommate Well, her invita tions to various and sundry places would exceed the space allotted for this column. “Boo” at last heard from Homer (V. P. I.) She was so excited about it that she just didn’t trust herself to answer it, so some unsuspecting freshman answered it for her. We’re waiting for results . Jean Fulton is still bemoaning the fact that she didn’t get to Virginia last week-end. But don’t worry, Jean, there’ll be other times, aren’t there? Humbert (Barbara) just can’t keep a smile off her face when Dan’s name is mentioned. We surely would like to see this Greek god. Some of the girls on campus en vied the engaged girls so that they bought ten-cent store diamonds to flash. Hint: Frat pins are to be found in pawn shops. That apprehensive look, in Louise Totherow’s eye means Jack may be leaving for the air corps any day now. Attention, you peroxide fiends: Two Yanks in the E. A.

Mrs. Elizabeth Meinung, head of the Home Economics Department, has offered her services as a teach er if enough girls are interested to form a class. The course lasts for ten weeks. If a class can be worked up before next week, the course may be com pleted before Christmas.. If a clasS is not started next week Mrs. Meinung said she would wait until after vacation so as to avoid the long break. All girls who are interested are urged to come. The course can only be offered if a sufficient num ber want the course to warrant the time spent on it. —DEFENCE— your service friends’ lives or your own selfish desires? Miss Lucile Newman, the next speaker, told of the effort to es tablish a Red Gross room at Salem. In this room Salemites would be able to roll bandages and perform other useful activities here on the campus. A request was made that maga zines for boys in the service be taken to room 105 in Alice Clewell. Letter writing means much to the boys; and therefore, it should not be neglected. In conclusion “Co Co” McKenzie announced a drive to further the sale of War Stamps, a drive spon sored by the Athletic Association. The class buying the most stamps will receive a five dollar award. The individual buying the most stamps will receive five dollars in war stamps. This contest will,last from October 21 to November 18. Everyone will be given an opportun ity to buy stamps in the dining room after lunch every day except Sunday. TWIN CITV IdRY OCANiNO col DIAL 7106 612 West rourth St. SPORTSWEAR....
