THE SALEMITE
October 26, 1943
Presenting
By Catherine Gregory
Faced with the monumental task
of putting me down on paper, I
am at loss for words. However,
with all due modesty I think that
I can say that I am a very inter
esting person. I am loved by all
■who know me, not only because of
my charming appcarance and de
lightful personality, but also be
cause of my deeper qualities which
may be discerned only after long
and close association with me.
I adore classical music, “Mairzy
Boats” being a special favorite of
mine. I have even written an oj)-
era. I play extremely well and
write prose and poetry with equal
facility. And yet, although these
talents might easily make me a
sensation I prefer to dwell in the
world of books, reading avidly and
improving my already remarkable
mind. The grim spectres of Miss
Hixson and the Permanent Record
forbid my use of the word “genius”
in referring to myself.
I am tall, with a lean, graceful
figure that is the envy of Powers
models. I speak with a deep rich
Southern accent which shows my
South Carolina background. Spar
tanburg, which I hope to put on
the map someday, is my home
town and I am as proud of it as it
is of me.
I fear, if I continue, my enthus
iasm for the subject might overrun
my natural modesty, so I will stop.
And the moral of this story is: If
you want a good write-up in the
Salemite, WRITE IT YOUESELP.
SpeechClassFights
Southern Drawl
By Bernice Bunn
“Ma, me, mi, mo, mu-u-u, ma, me,
mi, mo, muuul”
“All right, girls. This time go
up the scale on the first group and
come down on the second. Beady?”
“But, Miss Wible, I have a cold,
and I can’t sing today. Is that all
right 1”
“Yes, of course. After all this
is a speech course, not singing.”
And so it isl But I am afraid
one might have some difficulty in
proving that statement by any
11:15 class that meets downstairs
in Main Hall on Monday, Wednes
day, and Friday. Of course the
singing doesn’t last all period—that
is the confusing part. Just when
one has succeeded in ignoring scales
for the sake of Shakespeare and
English literature, an empty si
lence falls over the building. Not
for long, however, for after two
minutes of undivided atteption to
Shakespeare, one is conscious of re
sounding voices again, blending and
saying “Roll on thou deep and dark
blue ocean, roll.” ^
But the purpose in the class is
not to distract the students in near
by classrooms (though some of them
would swear to such a statement).
Miss Wible is trying to help the girls
lose part of their southern drawl
—not too much, mind you, just in
in words like general (not jin’ral),
air (not ayar), and men (not min).
And as you can imagine, she’s hav
ing a time with these daughters of
the deep South.
Once a week the girls illustrate
their progress by giving an extemp
oraneous speech from three to five
minutes long. The students have
spoken on everything from “Radio
Programs I Don’t Like” to “Public
Bore Number 1.”
According to Miss Wible, this
training in public speaking aims
to:
J. Help the student lose self con
sciousness and overcome stage
fright.
2. Improve the student’s artic
ulation and enunciation.
.3. Help the .student express her
self well on the stage, in class, or
in tlje smokehouse.
4. Enable a .student to do pub
lic speaking, to be perfectly at ease,
and to think on her feet.
So if you should chance to wander
past Room 8 next Monday at 11:15,
don’t spread the rumor that as
piring voice majors are studying
there, for it’s none other than Miss
Wible’s speech course.

End Of War
BringsWishes
By Anne Dungan
The familiar saying “When the
war is over I’m gonn» do so-and-so”
is about to materialize! And that
old excuse “Don’t ’cha know there’s
a war on?” is all worn out. We are
now looking ahead to those lux
uries we have missed and will soon
have again. When asked “What
do you want first now that the war
is over?” Sarah Clafk and Marilyn
Watson answered, in unison, “Ny
lon hose.”
Lee Hart has missed Tpana tooth
paste most of all and is planning
to stock up as soon as possible.
Maybe we’ll see Nell Penn Watt
dashing around in a red Buick con
vertible.
Elaine McNeely gets a hungry
look and says she would like a big
steak dinner.
Without hesitation, Mary Jane
Snavely answers that she is look
ing for a good girdle.
“Dees” Taylor wants nylon hose,
and so does Mary Turner, who also
adds she wouldn’t mind having a
car.
A new record player is first on
Ann Millikan’s list, but no one who
answered the question even men
tioned men! I guess that was just
supposed to be understood ... or
maybe they were just bashful!

An editorial from the Athenaeum
certainly gives the fair sex hope
for the future. They have no need
to turn grey any more at the pros
pect of being an old maid. A sur
vey made by the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company proves that the
smarter a woman becomes the more
likely are her chances to make a
so-called “good match.” The sur
vey did not go into the details on
how to catch the male. Undoubt
edly, they feel that college women
know the hows and wherefores of
the chase. So, gals, you gotta start
studying and get smart. But then
in the same paper was the poem,
“Men.”
“If you smile at him, he thinks
you’re flirting.
If you don’t flirt, he thinks you’re
an iceberg.
If you let him kiss you, he wishes
you were more reserved;
If you don’t, he’ll seek consolation
elsewhere.
If you flatter him, he thinks you’re
simple.
If you don’t he thinks you don’t
understand him.
If you talk of love and romance,
he thinks you’re asking him to
marry you.
If you go out with other fellows.
Evett Speaks
On French Art
Tracing the evolution of modern
French art from the Impressionistic
period to the present, Mr. Kenreth
Evett spoke to Le Cercle Francais
Tuesday night at its Studio Party.
One of the outstanding character
istics of modern French art is the
evidence of the innate color sense
of the French.
Mr. Evett showed several slides
and prints to illustrate each period
of modern art starting with Re
noir and the impressionists, contin
uing through Cezanne and the early
cubists, and concluding with Pi
casso.
Mr. Evett commented on the
fact that the contemporary French
artists who had been turncoats in
their painting, influenced by Pers
ian and Japanese stylesf had gone
over to the side of the Nazis, while
elemental Picasso had been out
spoken against the Nazis since the
beginning of their regime.
After the talk, the meeting was
adjourned to the art lab where re
freshments were served.
he thinks you are fickle.
If you don’t, he thinks no one will
have you.
Men, God bless them—they don’t
know what they want.”
So, we sometimes wonder if they
are really worth it.
