Women of the Week
LUCILLE NEWMAN
Were you there when the door
burst open, a loud shriek ensued, a
resounding crash followed; and aft
er the smoke had cleared, did you
behold Lxicille Newman all squeals
and bubbles of
ecstasy? If you
know Lucille,
you were there,
for she is a
y 0 u ng lady
with bipolar
emotions. She
is never just
plain content or
just slightly ir
ritated . ; •

FEANCES NEAL
For three years we’ve watchcd
her with a mixed sense of awe and
fear—she seemed so unbending and
so above reproach—so completely
beyond our realm of triviality.
Then we were
and excite her too
cares, she really cares; if she does
n’t care, she just doesn’t give a
—whoop. And Lucille cares about
Art. She wants soon to see the
day when art is given the place of
at least a minor in our curriculum.
She draws sketches that somehow
catch just the right spirit of
things . . . she writes term papers
that are both good, and artfully
decorated . . . and she despises the
army for taking Mr. Kenyon away.
Lucille also cares about things such
as the standing of day-students in
campus life; and the enthusiasm, or
lack of same, with which the week
ly rag is received. These are the
things that really count about Lu
cille ... but perhaps you would be
interested in facts, too.
Lucille is a Sophomore, as any
Freshman will tell you; for she was
a main factor in making the yung-
uns hop at that fateful Sophomore
court. She lives in Winston, and
has already outgrown that “little
sister” tag that her big sister, Elsie,
left for her last year. She has brown
eyes that usually twinkle, a cute
smile in a plump face, and mighty
nice blond curls. WTien she is sad,
she is especially sad. Those eyes
that usually twinkle are dark and
glistening and far away; that cute
smile is the longest frown you near
ly ever saw; and those blond curls
just sort of lose their yoomph.
Lucille’s father is pure German
native-born who has preferred us
for some years to the fatherland.
And home, she says, is a place to
be happy in. It’s gay, it is peace
ful . . . while there, you are loved
and quite content.
If you ever want a loyal friend
and worker, get Lucille’s interest
You can know that even when all
else fails, she will be there fighting
thrown with
her in the dor
mitory, and lit
tle by little, we
found our de
fenses torn
down. Now we
call her Fanny
without the
slightest cringe.
Our' first ink
ling as to what
a grand old gal
Fanny really -is came one day when
we fell asleep on her shoulder in
chapel. It was absolutely unpre
meditated—we were simply taken
suddenly unconscious! Then we
felt a gentle touch and a gentle
voice whispering, ‘ ‘ It’s time to
wake up—chajjel’s over.”
ITrom that moment on, we’ve
spent each day with a new discov
ery about her. First, was the time
she knocked meekly on the door to
ask if we’d play Grieg’s Concerto
on the Vic sometime. Then came
the time wben we were visiting
about the campus and came to an
abrupt realization that eleven had
passed—FanAy was waiting for us
not in any despotic house president
manner, but with a genuinely pa
tient fear that we had run afoul
the rules. What really convinced us
of her intrinsic kindness, however,
was the time we got so down in the
lumps that life actually seemed im
possible—then it was that Fanny
appeared humbly at the door with
a box of candy.
You’ll never know until you’ve
lived with her quite how wonderful
she is—quite how kind and sympa
thetic—quite how ^nerous—quite
how much fun; but yon should try
to know her as best you can from
the little kindnesses she forever
does.

SALEM MEETS WITH
EDUCATORS
A four-state regional education
and industrial conference was held
at the Robert E. Lee Hotel on Oc
tober 27. This meeting brougliit
together busniess managers and ed
ucators in an effort to discuss the
right of free enterprise and the bet
terment of education.
Approximately 150 delegates from
North 'Carolina, Georgia, South Car
olina, and Tennessee attended the
meeting. Salem College was repre
sented by Mrs. Weinland, Miss Law
rence, Dr. McEwen, Mr. Owens, Dr.
Downs, Miss McNeely, Miss Turl
ington and Miss Marsh.
The two principle addresses were
made by J. B. Baker, president of
Baker-Commalt Hosiery Mill of
Burlington, who spoke for industry;
and Dr. Donald Dubhane, secretary
of the National Education Associa
tion Commission for the Defense of
Democracy Through Education, rep
resented education.

and plugging to make things come
out all right. If you ever need to
unburden those heavy things that
are weighing down your heart, you
may know that she is both inter
ested and sympatheic. If you ever
want to laugh, ask her candid opin
ion on things at large . . • ber wit
is keen, and her humor a thing to
be coveted. We think she’s pretty
fine, don’t you?
LITTLE KNOWN FACTS
ABOUT WELL-KNOWN, ETC.—
Perhaps some of you haven’t be
come well-acquainted with the in
mates of our institution, and it was
thought by this writer that a little
inside information would be of in
terest. All of us share our little
idiosyncracies or undiscovered vir
tues and consequently, we hope that
this article will be in the form of
a revelation to you.
For instance, would many of you
ever guess that Mr. Campbell is pre
cise and as methodical as an old
inaid? He is so methodical, in
fact, that he can write to his house
keeper to send him an Amoeba
Which is in the third drawer of his
bureau in the forward corner on
the left hand side under two text
books.
And then there are Barbara and
Martha Humbert who are quite the
cosmopolitans, having lived in Chi
na and Japan a good while, as well
as having visited in Alaska exten
sively.
Salem College’s own Jane Strohm
(probably unknown to the majority
of the freshman class), confessed
last year that she was in love with
a certain handsome addition to the
faculty. It’s a shame that she trans
ferred to Duke this year—of all
years in the world.
One would probably be surprised
to know that Miss Marion Blair, a
Wellesley graduate, finds no better
recreation than roughing it at Gera-
coke Island and—hold your breath,
people—square dancing!
But enough of faculty members
for the time-being, and a little more
of the idiosyncrasies of some well-
known students. Now, who would
ever guess that Seville’s favorite
past-time before her 8:30 classes is
sitting on top of a hot radiator?
One may find her contentedly perch
ed, any morning, on top of the
radiator smoking a beloved Philip
Morris. And can you imagine Lucy
Farmer fondly cuddling her Rag
gedy Anne doll in the crook of her
arm every night?
And, girls and boys alike, listen
to this: We know that Cupid uses
mauy devices in the art of match
making, but here is one which I
doubt that many have thought of—
namely, language. The fact that
Miss Vest speaks Spanish fluently
has served as the much sought-after
omething in common ’ for she
and the Cuban consul. And the
way they cooperate! She teaches
the Latin-American cadets while he
supervises. Ah, love!
It may interest you to know that
our editor and slave-driver, Ceil
Nuchols, is quite capable in ail
walks of life. She not only com
poses her own music, edits a good
paper, and draws a mean sketch,
but she also makes masterful slip
covers. For proof, go to her room
in Senior and examine her handi
work yourself.
Has anyone seen Katherine Bunn’s
ring collection? It’s small, but it’s
promising. Among the most amaz
ing of the collection is her “too”
ring. Do come up to see it some
time.
And how could we close without
verifying the statement that
“Praise the Lord and Pass the Am-
munition” actually originated on
the battlefield. It solemnly came
from the lips of a ship’s chaplain
on the morning of Dec. 7 as he took
the position of a gunner who had
just been killed by the Japs.

the frying pan. Well, by 6:15 the
new members, and old ones, too,
had had their fill of three or four
hot dogs, potato chips, coffee, sand
wiches (I won’t mention how many
apiece), and Dixie cups. The guests
were beginning to depart; the fire
had been rebuilt three times; and
at long last the hamburgers were
cooking. My, how I had looked
forward to a delicious hamburger,
There were only about one-third of
the original number of folks there
so we could eat the hamburgers. .
lovingly placed mine between must
arded rolls, took a nice big bite
and ugh!!**!*—it was medium raw
Oh, well, I really didn’t want it any
how. I reached for some ice cream
—none left. In fact there was noth
ing left except hamburgers and
rolls. But, the picnic was a big
success. Even if the cooks did starve
and work themselves to death, the
freshmen seemed to enjoy it. And
after all, they were the main guests

MARTHA’S MUSINGS
These sophomores that love to
stay on third after lights are out!
What about this, Joy Flannagan and
Lucille Smoot? Are you going to
the P. O. only once a week now?
Betsy Casteen almost cried the
other {night when J^enny Jenkins
took her picture of “Booger.”
It has been rumored' that you can
always tell a freshman by the pe
roxide hair. How true! Lib Me-
Lelland has a glamorous black eve
ning dress and she was positive she
would look better with lighter hair.
The brunettes with their red streaks
arq Vawter Steele, Anna Jones, and
Mary Lil Campbell.
Betty Harris’ true-love has gone
to Greensboro to date. Betty, is he
a wolf?
All the girls are getting specials
about their dates for the dance.
Ten came in the other night and
Mary Lou Stack’s name headed the
list. Is Jack coming, Mary Lou?
Lib Williams was real mad at
Jack, but now she seems real happy.
Mail is the miracle of the age.
Lois Wooten, of the Kinston
Wiootens, has a new name “Big-
Time.” Nice name, Lois! How
about telling us the story behind it?
Marianne Everett has an unknown
admirer called “Clarence.” That
little stuffed dog is really the stuff,
Marianne!
Sis Shelton and Joyce Wooten de
clare it’s the football game that at
tracts them to Durham this week
end. Come on, gals, confess! Vir
ginia Foster is going to Wake For
est home-coming this week end
Have fun, Virginia!
Martha Humbert is Carolina
bound next week end. Julia Gar
rett and Lib Jones are looking for
Vvard to Durham homecoming.
Vivian Engram poled in Tuesday
mumbling about how ethereal her
life would be %vere she not torn .be
tw(i'en two , emtotions—after the
music quiz she had only one. “What
am I doing in college, anyhow —
I’m not the typo,” she sighed.
Then there is the speculation
about why Mot has been so upset
this week. Shucks, Mot—Mary
couldn’t help it' if your family turn
ed u'p last week-end!
What we don’t understand is
Mary Boylan’s attitude. Here Andy
violates Bell Telephone’s request to
whisper sweet nothings—and Mary
jazzesi right on out with a med boy.
Holy cats!
And ye olde triangle loomed up
again. Black list Yelverton had San
dy in tow last week-end—only not
the Sandy of- a year ago. Tra-la-la
Sara Henry has been transformed
into a big time party gal. Let it
be known that O. W. telephones
frequently while Hennie rii>s off
giilavanting all the time.
Mary Louise Rhoades complains,
of all things, of a boy dropi>ing in
for frequent week-end furloughs.
’Tis said that Mary Louise Rous
seau pi’actices writing her name
with a Mrs. before it.
Could someone tell us who that
very handsome thing is who comes
for Frances Swing so frequently?
Get Charlie Watson to toll you
about her bus trip to North Wilkes-
boro!! Mighty amusing, I say.
The juniors returned from hockey
practice with heaving bosoms, weak
knees, and livid faces. Ahem! age
wil Itell, girls!
Now, before I get too inquisitive
and get my face ki.-ked in—good
bye!
