Having grown accustomed to
thinking of Sinatra as The Voice,
Miller as The Body, Daniels as
The Lip, and Bacall as The Look,

on the secret.
If you happen to think we Salem-
ites don’t get around, just listen to
this: Sue Landon went to University
of Virginia, and Mary Turner and
^ancy Lut?; went to Davidson last
"^eek-end. .Tanie Mulhollem and
Martha Lnu Heitman went down to
^uke, and to make it better, they
Sot locked out of the dorm Saturday

Polls this weekend. Boaze is going

T^lorida. One more picture has dis-
spneared from the wall of Gudger’s
fooni; Bill is engaged! Ask Jane

There have been and are going
to be quite a few visitors on cam-

^ Week or so. Guess you’ve seen
®^3'rrison back—smiling more broad-

“Jeep” is coming to see “Wheezie,”
and Nancy Barrett is going to
Rocky Mount with Ab tjiis weekend.
Greta is going to the “Miracle of
Hickory” to celebrate her pop’s
birthday and to see Peggy. And have
you heard Fariiier and Casteen tell
nboot the truck full of Luckies they
saw explode in Leaksville last week
end? Speaking of trips, Gaither
made one to the Red Cross room—
oh, dearie me!
In the good new’s department,
we have an item saying that Ticka’s
John is coming home from overseas,
and if Polly keeps finding those
four-leaf clovers, Ed might get here
soon too! Tsobel’s all up in the ajr
because Jimmy may be on the way
home from the Pacific, and so may
Dodie’s man too. We’ll keep our
fingers crossed for both of you.
Carol is worried about .Toe because
a fortune teller told her there is
a blonde in his life. Elaine McNeely
told “him” goodbye last Saturday
night; he left for the Army. And
as some ship out, Third Floor Strong
'•oernits—they have some new Rey
nolds High he-men!
At least we know that two girls
at Salem get letters—and good ones
too. They are Henny (from Charlie
V.) and Teau (from Frank). And
did you finally get that letter from
Pete, Eliza?
We also know that the .Juniors
and the Seniors have dates this
weekend for their annual dance. Joe
Smith is coming with Grenny F.,
Elmer Henry with Kathleen
Phillips, and we hope Paul Cash with
Mildred. Snyder is having a Univer
sity of Va. boy down—Joe Wolf
Bear, Jr.! .Jane Angus and Anne
Carter have five dates coming in a
big red convertible. And say, have
vou heard about the good ole timey
picnic the Juniors are planning for
next Saturday? Listen out for more
about it—until next week when She
will snoop again.
Oh! P. S. Which turtle will win
the race today? Will it be Spook or,
Jacob or Luke? The winner will be
announced next week! Which will it
be?
She.
P. S. Jr. Another question—^will
the date room be open for May Day?
We hope so! Love and Stuff,

Reverend James Walters leaned
back in his chair and closed his
eyes .against the sun which played
across the massive, mahogany desk
of his study. The fact that his
only daughter, Virginia, had done
a completely illogical thing, illogi
cal in the sense that she had never
before made a decisive'and partly
original action, interested and sur
prised him. But the step had been
definite, and he could not help but
appreciate it. He opened his eyes
and re-read the words on the yellow
paper in his lap—‘ ‘ Married Bill
last night. Will be home today.
IjOvc, Virginia.” - Bill Baker, local
playboy, who lived on his father’s
stock market dividends. In a fe'nv
minutes the young couple would
stand before him, and in that in
terview he must try to present an
attitude in keeping with his position
as father and minister. •
A smile tugged at the corners of
his mouth and crinkled the lines
about his gray eyes. Today was
Friday, and by Sunday every mem
ber of his congregation would stare
up at him with eyes of condemna‘
tion. They would be eager to see
how he was taking fhe incident,
eager to see him humbled. Mrs.
Jonathan Rhodes, Mrs Cecil Tjane
—all of them. He chuckled softly
and shrugged his shoulders. He
would ignore the incident.
A tap on the door brought him
back to the more immediate prob
lem. He leaned forward so that
his arms rested on his desk. His
face and voice were sober as he
said, “Come in, please.” A small
girl and tall, slender boy entered.
Both looked at him with apprehen
sion written clearly on their faces.
Reverend Walters cleared his throat
and wiped his'crisp, white hand
kerchief across his mouth. “Well,
Virginia, William, won’t you be
seated?”
“We’ll just stand, thank you,
sir,” answered his daughter.
“We’re very sorry, sir, that—”
began the boy.
“Now, now, William. Let’s not
say that. You aren’t sorry, are
you? I don’t feel that remorse

will ease the situation. I am about
to deliver a sermon to you. But
I>erhaps there is some explanation
you wish to offer?”
Virginia spoke. “We have thought
this out, Father. We knew you
would never consent to my leaving
school to marry Bill. We are only
sorry that you will have to suffer
because of it. But Bill is leaving
soon.”
Good! So they had premeditated
this action. Not in a moment of
madness had they given themselves
to each other, forgetting the scan
dal which must follow.
“Vou needn’t worry about us.
When he comes back, his daddy is
giving him the two theatres to
manage, and he’s very anxious to
work.”
Reverend Walters picked up his
glasses, moistened them with his
breath, and polished them vigor
ously. Theatres, eh? Well, he’d
never quite brought himself to con
demn movies in his pulpit anyway.
Too bad he wouldn’t have to eat
his words! He replaced the glasses
in the case and leaned back and
folded his arms.
“Theatres aren’t" really bad,
Father. They’re educational, a
place to relax—”
(And so his daughter apologized
to him. TIow little we know of
each other after all. She never
guesses but what I am deeply
shocked. Perhaps that is best after
all). “I’m sure it is an honest
living, Virginia. But now I must
give you my blessing and best
wishes. Later perha|>s we can talk
more.”
“Thank-you, sir!” said Bill.
Reverend Walters’ exj)ressiou did
not change when his daughter came
around his desk and kissed his
forehead. Tlie couple started for
the door. Virginia paused and turn
ed to him. ‘ ‘ Father, aren’t we going
to have a prayer? It seems that—”
(Of course, the customary thing
to do.) “Yes, let us pray.”
When he had offered a prayer,
they slipped quietly out. They did
not see the twinkle in his eyes and
his smile nor hear him add, “And
thank you for them.”
