Friday. May 14. 1943. THE SALEMITE Page Three. Field Trips Are So-o-o Educational (Naney Stone) The other aspiring designer and I piled hopefully into the instruc tor’s ear. With eyes bright with anticipation we were now on our way to take the long-awaited tour supposed to aid our creative in stincts. We settled our pencils and sketch pads on the seats and waited with indrawn breaths for our first stop—the Reynolds Building. From the building we were sup posed to glean the inspiration for a dress. We leapt from the car and began scanning intently the stylized decorations on the build ing—backing up artist-like, squint ing professionally. Mutters of “in teresting pattern for a print” came from my fellow student. So engross ed were we, that we were quite unaware of the bizzare effect we gave—blocking the sidewalk, scrib bling madly and gazing intently at th peak of the building. At one point my companion forgot that traf fic ran down Main street at noon —and backed into the asphalt to get a better view. A screech of brakes and a muttered, “Darn screw ball” on the part of the taxi driver saved her from a severe whack in the nether regions. After copying faithfully th? de tails of the Reynolds building, we traveled to the Telephone building. Again we stared, scribbled, and mut tered. Just as we were leaving— with necks cramped from so much upward grazing—two uniformed men grabbed us firmly by the arms and scattered our precious sketches to the winds. “Just what,” they bel lowed, “are you doing? They put folks in jail for activities like this!” Weakly we assured them that sabotage was not intended—and that we were liieek and lowly students of Costume Design. Gathering up our papers, dignity, and courage we de parted. Children were playing in front of the church as we went in—and each dropped his jaw open to reg ister amazement. The inside was cool and quiet. With a completely unsanctified air I went about copy ing the colors in the windows—■ “cathedral colors” I would call my creation. As I gazed at the stained glass windows, a feeling of awe and al most reverence came over me. My matter-of-fact contemplations were broken, and I walked quietly out into the open to turn my sketching to outside views. Tlie children thought this fine sj>ort—and nudged each other, pointed and giggled- One grimy eight-year-old made whirling motions with his forefinger. Completely disgruntled ajid with a last-straw feeling, I strode to the ear and slammed the door. Idly I looked over both of my drawings, and mused over a statement once heard, “Field trips are so-o-o edu cational.” - —DEHYDRATED— Africa, the E. A. F. dumped a heavy bomb tonnage on Duisburg, a steel, railway, and waterway center in western Germany. Other good news from this front poured in from Holland and Bel gium. A revolt in occupied Holland spread like German measles across the border to Belgium. Other ac counts of sabotage seeped in from Poland, Yugoslavia, Norway and ^feece. 0^^ THE AMERICAN FRONT- Tuesday night Prime Minister Kinston Churchill arrived in the IX. S', to confer with the President and other Allied leaders. Not until Wed nesday did the world realize the exact nature of the conference. Then the press discovered that the lead ers had Pacific plans up their sleeves. Present at the fifth meeting of Al lied chieftains are such notables as Sir Archibald Wavell, Commander in India; Sir James Somerville, Commander of the Eastern Fleet; Sir Richard Peirse, Indian Air Of ficer; Gen. Sir Alan Brooke, Chief of General Staif; Sir Dudley Pound, First Sea Lord; and Sir Charles Portal, Air Chief Staff. After look ing over the list, the world deduced that all war theatres and strategies are under heated discussions. The conference faces many knotty prob lems: the de Gaulle-Giraud friction, Polish-Eussian relations, the German prisoner problem, and the European invasion. In Congress a measure has been proposed to enable the gov'ernment to delay strikes for 90 days. The U. S. has also announced that it has built enough war factories, for the duration. NOTICE! Let’s make the Salem College Art Exhibit a success! Bring your hobby art for the hobby corner—cartoons and sketches of college life—portrait sketches— art work and craft work—to the art studio by Wednesday, May 19. The exhibit will be held in the Club Dining Eoom. McMURRAY IS NEW SPANISH CLUB HEAD On Tuesday night the Spanish Club met and elected officers for the coming year. They are as fol lows: President, Virginia McMur- ray; vice-president, Elizabeth Bern hardt; secretary, Luanne Davis; and treasurer, Mary Lou Stack. Sebia Midgett will be editor of Apuntes Espanol. After the election the members njoyed a few games of bridge, while efreshments were served. —SHAMEL— Yes, room-drawing is over and all the agony that accompanies it— roommates are happy; rooms have been swapped (and some still in the process); and everything is fine— except the seniors do feel oh, so left out. Well, we’ll miss you too. But this is no time for weeping, or crossing bridges before ... or count ing the chickens before . . . T'here’s a big week-end at Davidson, start ing Friday till (?) Off they go, NORMIE, CAROLYN, MOTT, BUTCH, JULIA GARRETT, STU (poison oak and all) and KHACKY. Perhaps there are more, but we’ll have to let you know about that next week. But one last plea, girls, remember I. R'. S. Then there was SUE at Davidson last week-end. And imagine our sur prise when we asked enthusiastical ly “Well, how was the dance?” and we received an equally enthusiastic answer “Oh, we didn’t go to the dance, but it was a wonderful w'eek- end.” LAURA HINE seems to have had a wonderful time at the Med dance last Saturday night, but we hear luite a different report from ADELE and CHARLOTTE RICHARDS — seems the weather was a little too warm, or something to that effect. And then there was JANE FRAZ IER who was lamenting that every- body, positively everybody, was turning out for the affair ■ except her. KATY LOVE eyed with envy the girls who ;ivere invited up to Hang ing Rock to the Signal Corps party —her Henry is up there, you know. And while we’re on the subject of said party, we must mention JOHN NIE SAYLER’S embarrassment when she ran into two old friends. NOR'MIE is literally claiming kissing kin with the Suttons of Fayetteville after last week-end. Chee, the family was wonderful. And then there’s a story of COOT IE’S er, ah, graduating present. Mrs. Richmond was sweet to send her a white satin night-gown, wasn’t she? Has anyone been deprived of the privilege of seeing SEVILLE’S new picture of Ed? If so, she will be welcomed in 205 Clewell. If, when passing the Day Stud- nts ’ Center, your conversation is completely drowned out it is only S'ARAH HEGE conversing in French (she’s a wonderful torch-bearer, Dr. Downs) or more likely FRATffCES KRITES telling her' story of little Hed Riding Hood—with colored il- “BATRE!” (Peggy Nimocks) Ho-ley— di-bo-ki — wotten — dotten-choo—sold to the highest bidder—room 279, was the sound heard on Wednesday night as hun dreds of room-hunting hags gath ered to find a spot of comfort to live in next year. “No, I want that room.” “You can’t have it; I have it engaged.” “Engaged! Why you son-of-a-sea- cook, if you dare to move in I’ll sleep on top of you”— And so the battle started. Rooms! Rooms! Rooms! 275 is not taken—1013 isn’t taken— inspec tion of respective rooms. Just as I thought . . . I’ll take the “tub room.” “Anybody want a roommate? Along with the turmoil of rooms comes roommate trouble! Some body ain’t got a sleeping partner. Too bad, take a transfer. After effects: Let’s see now—you swap with Suzie; Jane moves out of there; Liz moves in; and Ginny may not come back; so Jane rooms with Mary; Mary’s engaged so Jane hanges plans. TVo with; two without and still going strong! Jane takes th’ transfer. And on into the hours this infernal fire burns. After the motley battle, all we were able to do was to grab the nearest clothes pin and stick it on our respective noses and thank Zeus that we couldn’t live on but one floor, and with but one girl, and the event of room drawing was over! TEACHINGISFUN (Rosalind Clark) Have you ever seen a station wagon pulling away from ye olde campus at the luxurious hour of 9:30, and did you ever envy the heaps of good-looking gals (Salem— beyond a doubt) who looked at you equally as envious? Well, they have more of a reason to envy than you have. They are going out on their duty as practice teachers (Need I say more?) which lasts morning aft er morning for six weeks or mor^.N Anyway it is different—where else would you find out that your solid name was “Cutie,” and that “neck ing” rhymes with “peeking.” Of course it is quite a shock for the pipsqueaks to tell you to take out your gum ’cause they can’t make out what you’re mumbling or to suddenly pop up and ask for a date. Then after the trial and error meth od, you put the thumbscrews on and never say, “Will you please do this,” but instead say, “Now list en here, you rats, you’re going to do this or else—!” Of course you always have the'lessona planned be fore and long in advance so you lever have to rush. (Enough of that). Maybe you’ll keep on being a teacher, and after you have se- ‘ured the jiosition of professor in a famous university and you find that lots of yqur former friends don’t remember you, come back to the school where you practiced teach ing and they’ll remember you. lustrations. You must see BIDDY CRESS’S new ring . . . Poor LOUISE TAY LOR has lost ’em all to the Army— Tommy left Wednesday . . . MAR THA is closing with Mrs. Rondthal- er’s words to tanned DORIS SMITH: “DoTis, you just aren’t going to take JANE RIERSON to the mov ies an afternoon next week!” . . . Take heed, girls; it is pretty close to exam time. —STOKES— —MARSHALS— is the girl who smiles all over when she speaks to you. It’s fun to watch those eyes twinkle. Mary Lucy may be found down on the athletic field most any time because she is interested in all sports. She has served as vice-president of her class, treasurer of A. A. A. and will serve as treasurer of Stee Gee next year. She maintains a high scholastic record, thus showing that she is conscientious and dependable. Then I heard a voice “like a bolt from the .blue” which could have come from none other than Jane Frazier. Yes, petite Janie, but quite capable just the same. She has served as treasurer and vice-presi dent of her class and has been very outstanding in the Pierrette Play ers. Janie has all the qualifications of a marshall—even to her blonde hair, good looks, and her conscien tiousness. Congratulations new marshalls and rising senior class for your choice. Polonais in C sharp minor and Valse Brillante showed excellent interpre tation of two difficult numbers. In the modern group, Aline began with Autumn by Chaminade, in which she lost herself entirely in the interpretation. A fascinating number was Serenade by Rachman inoff. Two very interesting num bers were A Ghost Story and The Punch and Judy Show, both by Goas- sens. These modern numbers showed her feeling very definitely for the nodern idiom. The climax of the recital was the performance of Mendelssohn’s Con certo in D Minor, with Dr. Vardell at the piano. This proved to be one of the loveliest concertos to have been played, and Aline came forth with all her ability. Peggy Eaton, soprano, was Alme’s able assistant. Peggy sang Ich Liebe Dich by Beethoven; Verge- bliches Stanchen by Brahms— which was a dialogue, portraying Peggy’s dramatic qualities—and Mine by Schubert. Peggy’s voice was clear and her tone was full. In her second group, Peggy sang the enchanting The Sleep That Flits on Baby’s Byes by Carpenter; Silent Noon by Vaughan Williams, a num ber which she sang with much feel ing, and the lively Under the Green wood Trete by Buzzi-Peccia. This number was one of the most out standing of Peggy’s selections. The recital was one of color and brilliancy. 1'he audience thorough ly appreciated and was well aware of Aline’s talent—their enthusiastic applause proved that.

A pleasant surprise was the brilliant aria: “Qui la voce sua soane” (il Puritani) by Bellini n which Laura Emily Pitts played a flute accompaniment on the last cadenza. Lindy seemed to put her whole self into her singing. It would be hard to decide who en joyed it the most—Lindy or the audience. Laura Emily Pitts dis played her versatility in alternat ing between the piano and flute. Shelaid down the flute just in time to play the last big chord on the piano. The program coi^cluded with a group of modern compositions: Beau Soir” by Debussy, the fa miliar “WJhen Celia Sings” by Moir, “My Lady Lofu” by Warren, and "Tlie Maids of Cadiz” by Delibes. Lindy’s gestures added much to the last song: we expected to see her wing into a dance any moment. When we walked back stage, we thought we had lost our direction and had ended up in a florist shop. Out of such an array it would be hard to choose the flowers we liked best, but we particularly liked the bouquet of yellow roses and iris tied with matching ribbon. Judging by the enthusiastic ap plause, the only thing wrong was that Lindy’s recital was over too soon. HOME EC. ClUe HAS RECEPTION The silver si>oon Mrs. Meinung used to dip the launch at the Home Economics Club reception was made in 1797. Mrs. Meinung is the fifth generation of her family to own this valuable heirloom.
