JOHNNIE CAETEE
Jf we were to ask you if you
knew Virginia Mae Carter, you
"■ould be stunned for a minute. So
Were we when we looked down the
^ hristmas name list. But if we were
to say^—“Know Johnnie Carter?”
then everything would be O. K.
>^he’s the other freshman who has
been blessed by hearing the church
bells in the distance. Johnnie is en
gaged to Bruce Gray whom she has
known for over three years." Bruce,
in the army overseas, will never have
■to worry about having a low morale
due to the lack of letters from home.
Every night Johnnie writes to Bruce
faithfully and the letters are never
>">der five newsy, funny pages.
Johnnie hails from Lehman . . .
Johnnie with the dark brown hair,
"’ith the eyes that speak, with the
Complexion we all envy—that’s our
Johnnie. Go over to Lehman some
time and see her. She lives on second
floor in a four girl room. There you
can see her favorite pin-up man and
“fiance.
^ep, that’s our Johnnie whose
home is about twenty miles from
bere. Lanky, lovable, Johnnie has
become -a real Salemite.

“Start the Xow Year right” has
proved an apt slogan for Salem
'hisses, what with Denning’s dia-
nionds, Sut’s visit'(IIarriet Sutton of
Fayetteville, graduate from Salem
business Dep’t. in 1943, and soon
be married), etc. The crowning
glory is, of course, Peggy’s marriage
(she says there’s nothing like the ro-
'’■antic atmosphere when father and
^'hil shake hands in the candlelight!)
®ut speaking of slogans, if the dorms
"'ere to have them, it would un-
'i'ubtedly be seances for Strong,
^nd turnips and “listening” for
^^itting.
Things went well at Christmas for
but Jane Bell—She was in a
"reck on Christmas Eve and had
to appear in court as witness! Ask
^’eggy D. what it is philosophy has.

^ikes friends who suggest that
other friends” come over for the

's ideal for our May Queen. Get
'^bby to tell you about her Christ-

"'bat comes first in Marian Waters’

tucky? A certain Senior had bar

Question, how to remove the Lieu

BLANCHE HICKS
There’s been quite a bit of ex
citement just recently about two
freshmen being engaged. One of
these lucky girls is blonde, curly-
headed Blanche Hicks from Greens
boro. She is now very much inter
ested in when the war will be over,
so she can ‘’middle-aisle” it with
Dan. Next to this she wants to
fiinish college. She’ll probably need
a home economics course to help her
ater in life!
Infectious gaiety, many friends,
and an electrifying personality are
typical characteristics of this Caro
lina lass. In ease you’re interested,
Blanche lives on third floor Clewell.
If she isn’t there^ you’d enjoy watch
ing her entertaining the gang with
lots of good philosophy on ‘ ‘ engag
ed life”!.
She also plays a mean hand of
bridge. Have you heard her latest
expression, “It’s a hard life!”?. If
you haven’t met this attractive
freshman, find her at One of the
above mentioned places. You’ll be
sure to hear all about her other half
—that wonderful Dan!
The holidays came and went and
so did the faculty. Not to be outtlone
by the students, the members of the
faculty ‘ ‘ vacated” on that dimly-
remembered December 17, last year,
too.
At least sixteen teachers went
nor h. Dr. Lachmann reports that
she saw ‘ ‘ lots and lots of friends”
in New York City and that among
1he highlights of her trip were visits
to the museum in New York and
the art gallery in Washington, D.
C. Dr. Smith enjoyed a unique trip
to Washington and New York when
she made the entire trip occupying
“ten inches of a seat on the train.”
The tales about the soldiers she
met en route proved even more in
teresting than the trip..
Dr. and Mrs. Confer spent part of
the Christmas holidays visiting Mrs.
Oonfer’s parents in Pennsvlvania.
Mr. Bair, too, divided his time be
tween Winston-Salem and Etters,
Penn. Both Miss Covingfon and Miss
Averill went way out west to Ken
tucky; Miss Averill, to her home
in Frankfort, and Miss Covington,
to visit relatives in Louisville.
More New York “trippers” were
Dr. Jordan, who attended a modern
language convention there, Mrs.
Meinung, who visited her daughter,
and Miss Tubbs who iicconipanied
her mother on a trip to the City.
Mrs. Starr visited her son and
daughter-in-law in Brooklyn, and
Mr. Campbell went farther north
to his home in Robin Hood, Maine.
Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler spent their
vacation in a series of visits to
children and grandchildren in
Brooklyn and Harmon, N. V„ and
Baltimore, Md. To quote them;
“Crowded trains, brilliant snowy
scenes, and the varied life of coun
try and city made tbe trip one of
delight and family fellowship.” Miss
Bonney spent the ifolidays at her
home in Stamford, Conn. and made
several trips to New York City. Miss
Kark visited friends in Boston and
New Haven.
Santa Claus paid his visit to three
faculty members who were spend
ing their vac-ition at City Memorial
Hospital in Winston. He brought
Mr. Owens a tonsilectomy and Miss
Byrd an appendectomy. (She is
now in Salem Infirmary.) W'hen Miss
Anna Perryman went to visit Miss
Byrd, after having her temperature
taken, Miss Perryman was put to
bed. She has been at City Memorial
ever since.
Miss Ifead visited her sister in
Danville, Va. Miss Laurie Jones
visited in FVanklin, Va., and Miss
Burrell went in the ocean on Chris'-
mas Day at her home at Virginia
Beach. Dr. and Mrs. McEwen spent

MAEY ANNE LINN
Mary Anne Linn of Salisbury is
replacing Peggy Nimocks on the
May Court this spring. As we a’ll
know, Peggy has other things on
her mind, and they all start with the
word, Phil.
There are two key words to de
scribe Mary Anne, attractive and
sweet. Nobody ever sees her when
she isn’t as neat as a pin, although
she has proved to us that she doesn’t
spend all of her time in grooming.
Although she appears to be rather
quiet, if you just talk to her for
a little while you will see that she
has a perfectly grand personality
and an infectious laugh. Anyone will
agree that she is fun to be with.
Mary Anne is planning to major
in either Spanish or psychology at
Salem. Last year she was a member
of the judicial board and this year
she is a member of the I. K. S.
council. As to her future, Mary Anne
has one career in mind—marriage.
Nuff said!
To the People
of this Community
“Sad little personal belongings
are strewn all over t’ ;e bitter
sands.” Thus wrote E.nie Pyle
from a beachhead in Normandy.
More than 2,*
000 bundles of
these belongings,
carefully collect
ed and packed by
the armed forces,
are sent monthly
from a Kansas
_ity depot to
homes through
out America.
That's the cur
rent price of vic
tory over ene
mies who forced this war upon
you. These “souvenirs” are en
veloped with heartaches and
drenched with tears.
How long this tragic depot
stays in business is up to you.
Every second prolongs the
slaughter. Every extra $100 War
Bond in the Sixth War Loan
helps to shorten the fighting. Can
you do less than to lend your
money for speedy victory?

Badminton and ping-pong tourna
ments really have been ruling the
sports scene. The tournaments, which
are being played off in the gym
classes under Miss Averill’s supervis
ion, have not all been played to
the finals. However, in class 101A
Sara Haltiwanger and Phillis John
son vrere acclaimed the winners in
doubles as were also Julia Garrett
and Betsy Long in class 201B.
In class lOlB, the finals have not
been played, but the semi-finalists
are Henrietta Walton and Eva Mar
tin Bullock against Margaret West
and Virtie Stroup. None of the other
classes have reached the semi-final
stage, but with the increasing keen
interest shown, all of the classes
should have their games played off
by the end of next week.
Basketball season will soon be
here, and there has been a great
deal of speculating going on as to
who will be the champions this year.
The juniors, who won the cup last
year, will suffer with the loss of
their three major guards who did
not return to school this year. How
ever, the powerhouse of forwards—
Witherington, Wooten, Casteen, and
Lindsey—are still here to give head-

aches to anyone brave enough to
attempt to guard them.
The sophomores are fortunate in
having their whole team back this
year with forwards—Allen, Hill, and
Walton—as well as guards—McGee,
Johnson, and Bullock. The seniors,
too, have such good plnyers as
Baynes, Byrd, Stovall, Helsabeck,
and others back to play on their
team. Yes, the three other classes
had better watch out for the fresh
men, for J;hey will present a serious
threat for the championship. They
will need good teamwork but if they
practice enough together, they will
easily secure it.
I might say that the girls on class
teams last year, if not careful, will
lose their places to new material this
year. Observing gym class, sopho

ter, and Quinnerly look as though
