FRESHMEN TROMP SOPHOMORES 4-1
IN OPENING GAME OF TOURNAMENT
PEEP’S DIARY
Ground, sticks . . . ground, sticks
. . . ground, sticks . . . whish, bam!
Nimocks seized the first bully of the
19i2 hockey tournament for the
Sophomores. Record - breaking
crowds of Seniors cheered wildly
from the hillside to their little sis
ters on the field. The sun was
sinking just behind Corrin Hall . . .
it was a glorious brisk November
Wednesday afternoon. The husky
freshman team, which issued the
rumor last week that they had five
full sub .teams, stood calmly by . . .
waiting for the S'ophomores to lo
cate their tenth and eleventh
players.
First Quarter: After winning the
bully, the Soph line immediately
discovered the impregnable fortress
of freshman defense—in a single
play, Polly Starbuck drove the ball
deep into Soplt territory where line
men Donelson and McLendon picked
it up for a thrust toward the goal.
Despite the attacking power of
rianagan, the freshmen managed to
carry the ball straight to scoring
position where Elizabeth McLendon
shot the first goal of the season—
two minutes after the opening bully.
When the ball was again put into
play, the freshmen unhesitantly
struck for sophomore territory, but
the defenders stood their ground
solidly and held the freshmen be
tween the 25 and 50 yard lines un
til the quarter ended.
Second Quarter: After juggling
positi^nis, the sophomores concen
trated almost their entire strength
in the backfield and resigned them
selves to a defensive game. Four
minutes of chaotic skirmish fol
lowed the bully before the fresh
men scored their second goal of the
afternoon—another flawless aim by
McLendon. A minute and a half
later still, Martha Humbert scored
a third time for the freshmen. The
half ended with all the action still
having been restricted to sopto-
more territory.
Third Quarter: Despite an abso
lute barricade of sophomore backs.
Mac McLendon was once again able
to break through the goal line in
the early part of the second half.
Fourth Quarter: The sophomores,
having got their team somewhat
organized, started the fourth quar
ter with determination to take the
offensive. Nimocks passed the ball
to her left wing, Edith Stoval—
Stovall skilfully carried the ball to
the edge of the striking circle—then
goalie Eiffkin saw action for the
first time of the game. Although
the ball was immediately driven
back up the field, the sophs had
threatened—and this threat was all
they needed to turn around again
and, with beautiful coordination, to
give Nimocks a chance to score for
the sophomores. Thus, with the
sophomores just coming into their
own, the game ended—4-1.
From the game, it was obvious
that both teams utterly lacked or
ganization. As many as seven peo
ple were in the alleyi at once. With
the exception of S'tovall and Neil-
son in the last quarter, the sopho
mores didn’t seem to know exactly
what position they were playing. On
the whole, however, the sophomores
show excellent possibilities—Joy
Flanagan’s attacking strength is
a hindrance to any team, Stu
Snyder’s determination can be
controlled into accurate bk)ck-
ing. Stoval’s calm carrying
ability and Neilson’s prosi>ective
driving technique are definite scor
ing threats. With more teamwork,
the sophomores could well hold their
own against any opposing team.
The freshmen, on the other hand,
have a formidable line in Donelson,
McLendon, and Martha Humbert—
and they have unerring backing
might in Polly Starbuck. Wiat the
rest of their backfield has to offer
is mere speculation—they didn’t
have much opportunity to prove
their mettle in Wednesday’s game.
All in all though, both teams bad
ly need practice in order to back
their eager spirits with organized
play.

RIDERS RIDE
' AND EAT
Maybe the weather had been cool
lately, but it didn’t hamper the
fun of the horseback riders. Mrs.
Dunham, the horseback riding in
structor, and about ten other riders
piled into the station wagon to go
out to Anderson’s stables for their
weekly horseback ride. This one
was different, though. It was the
first two hours that had been sched
uled for this semester.
After riding that long on a cool
day, everyone felt that all the food
in the world would not satisfy her
appetite. But all had a happy end
ing. There, waiting in the base
ment of Louisa Bitting, was an open
fire and a picnic supper. When shiv
ering and hungry people settle down
in front of a roaring fire and eat
hamburgers something is bound to
happen—and it did. Result: every
one had a swell time.
AIR SAFETY POSTERS
TO BE SHOWN HERE
-PIERRETTES PLAY-
are enough to make anyone love the
play.
The characters are:
Hans Brinker (Mildred Lee) is a
boy of fifteen years—strong and
manly—who would do anything to
help his father get well. Mildred
is doing one grand job of the part.
We had better watch out or we will
be giving her up to Broadway.
Little Yelverton is just perfect
for Gretel. Wait until you see her
in that Dutch dress and those
Dutch shoes. She is absolutely
adorable. Gretel, luckily, is the
winner of those silver skates.
Dame iBrinker (Carlotta Garter)
is a woman of middle age who pa
tiently puts up with her husband,
an idiot; and always prays for the
return of her money. Cootie, well
known for her stage presence, is at
it again; and is doing, as usual, a
grand job of it.
Roft Brinker (Normie Tomlin)
is a man in middle ages, thin and
gaunt in appearance—an idiot un
til his operation. Normie has a
hard part to play, but you can de
pend on her to scare those poor
kids to death.
Dtoetor Balkman (Lueile New
man) is an elderly man, very gruff
and bitter because of the disappear
ance of his son. He performs the
operation on Riff Brinker, and be
cause of this, finds his son.
Vollenhoven (Nelly Seawald),
Dr. Balkman’s assistant, steals the
show every time she appears—but
then have ever seen Nellie when she
wasn’t grand in a play?
Hilda (Jean Hodges), the Burgo
master’s daughter, is a beautiful
girl of Gretel’s age, richly dressed.
Jean plays this to perfection. And
that voice—it’s a dream. Annee
(Jane Frazier), Hilda’s companion,
is a peasant like Gretel: but she
is more vivacious and jolly. Jane,
between giggles, is doing all right.
You can count on her looking prec
ious in that costume.
Peter (Mary Miller) is a wealthy
boy, strong and sturdy, much like
Hans, who is a great help to Hans.
We still haven’t gotten over admir
ing Mary for the way she calmly
walks around on ice skates.
Voostenwalbert (Betty Byres) and
Ben (Lyma Thyris), his English
cousins, are grand. We still don’t
believe that this is Betty’s first
play. ’Fess up, Lyma, where did
you find that English accent? Carl
Schummel (Helen Robin) is the same
age as the boys, but oh, how sour
and mean. No, we couldn’t see
how Helen could play the part to
perfection, either—but she does.
That’s what I call acting.
Rychie (Mary Eaton) and Ka-
trenka (Edith Shapiro) are wealthy
girls like Hilda. Mary and Edith
do a darling dance at the end of
the play.
An exhibit on defense posters,
sent out by the Museum of Modern
Art, will be held in the Pilot Build
ing from Novemb(?r 14 to 21, exclud
ing Sunday.
These posters, appearing in a re
cent issue of "Life,” are designed
to promote safety ih flying. Thus
replicas of them have be0n tacked
on walls of Army hangers thoughout
the United States.
Although Captain Willard Brown,
the sketchcfr responsible for the
posters, combined his artistical and
whimsical abilities in creating these
cartoons, their main points are ser
ious. For example. Captain Brown
drew “The Great Galoot,’' a pic
ture of an airplane smacking a hang
er, of debris flying in every direc
tion. Tinder the drawing appeared
a rhyme:
Behold the plight of the sad galoot
Who didn’t think he’d overshoot;
The tried and true analysis
Of throttle arm paralysis.
Another illustration, showing a
half dead corpse piled up in the bed
with a foot perpendicular to his box,
had a rhyme that read:
Poor old loose toothed Archibald
Bass
Failed to switch to a full tank of
gas;
He figured that ‘aux’ meant the
same as 'reserve;’
The result as you see rather tested
his nerve.
For more cartoons and droll re
marks concerning World War II
flyers, go to the Pilot Bulling any
day next week from nine in the
morning until five in the afternoon.
BIRTHDAYS
—TRADITION—
ing and the acceptance. Senior
class officers shoveled earth over
the roots and proceeded to the
north side of Carren Hall.
The tree, the first sugar maple
ever to be presented to Salem—and
the only one on the entire campus
—was offered by Miss Vanderbilt,
and accepted by Mr. Weinland. Mr.
Weinland remarked that the tree
was symbolic of the Senior class:
and that there was some doubt as
to how lojng the ^unies, which
have traditionally been rooted with
the trees, would remain buried.
Pennies were then tossed in with
shovels of dirt, and the traditional
ceremony ended with the Alma
Mater.
Saturday—Today was a nice day
for turning one’s back to the wall
and dying quietly. For once we had
prepared our art home work—and
the class didn’t meet. Practically
every football team we bet on—lost.
And then, because we didn’t go to
the Stee Gee dance, it turned out
to be one of the most successful yet
—our corpuscles are wearing out
from worry.
Sunday—Well, the roof didn’t
cave in today as was expected.
Monday—If only there were two
Saturdays and two Sundays in ev
ery week-end! At least, Mr. Camp
bell didn’t burden us by returning
our biology test papers. Teachers
do have hearts, but why do they all
give us our six weeks’ tests early
so we won’t have them all at the
same time? (I wish that little ani
mal on the cover of my biology
book would stop winking at me).
Tuesday—The week has been
saved. Dr. Mauze spoke to us in
chapel today. W|hy do all the speak
ers we enjoy hearing the most al
ways talk the briefest? Well, that
could be the answer.
Wednesday—We still maintain
that the best place to find sympathy
is in the dictionary—but hockey is
a wonderful game despite the bruis
es. The Junior-Senior game has
been planned for Monday — want
to make a bet?
Hhursday—We spent the after
noon in Chemistry lab, as usual. By
the way, the Red Cross S’ewing
Room has been opened and a sched
ule posted—why not go up and con
tribute a stitch? Yes, we sew that
way, too.
Friday—Today we made plans for
our tomorrow’s blind date. You
know, men are a funny lot—if you
decide to act gay, he wants an in
telligent date; if you act intelli
gent, he yearns for a playmate. If
you pet, he gets tired of you in the
end; if you don’t pet, he gets tired
of you in the beginning. What
should we do? Any suggestions as
to how we should handle our blind
dates will be accepted graciously.
Saturday—Same old thing all over
again.

SALEM FACES —
part of college new procedure.
Naturally the details are to be
steadily explored and will be given
careful and liberal thought. It is
imperative that this be arrived at
through faculty-alumnae general
educational revamping, if necessary,,
holding sincerely to the past but not
with a blind resistance to new needs
in a new and war-torn day.
The foregoing might be analyzed
in terms of the direct student
thought and student need. “How
can I get a personal approach to
this matter,” “how can I have Jny
own questions answered,” “What
will be my personal method of fit
ting into this program” are those'
questions which you may be asking.
The procedure which will be fol
lowed for the time being at least is
as follows: If questions of the
above nature are in the student
mind, she should consult directly
with the Head of the Department
in which she is working or with the
Adviser in her major field. These
suggestions and questions may then
be carried directly to a committee
for re-evaluation and study.

-FIRST CONGRESS—
continued that all now suggestions
should be considered seriously both
in the light of their worth to the
students and their worth to the in
stitution; and that unless the Legis
lature shows maturity in its think
ing and voting, the experiment wil]
have failed. All rules passed by
the body are, with the approval of
the faculty advisors and the Presi
dent, to become laws for Salem stud
ents. With this in mind, she urged
the representatives to consult the
students as a whole for their de
sires and opinions before the meet
ing of the 23.
All requests for Legislation must
be handed in by Wednesday, No
vember 18. Any Salem student
who wants changes made in exist
ing laws or new laws formulated
may write her suggestions on a slip
of paper, and turn them in to Sara
Henry or leave them in the SA
LEMITE OFFICE. These sugges
tions will be carefully read by the
Executive Committee before the
next meeting; if there are any ut
terly worthless suggestions the
committee will throw them out, all
others will be presented by Siira
Henry before the legislative body.
