November 16, 1945. THE SALEMITE Page Three. f wee beastie i don’t know why i ever started living in this art lab but now that i’ve stuck around here for a spell i like it a lot and my home next to the wastebasket is as comfy and as cozy as any modern mouse (this' is me) could desire i am surround ed by the arts and already my f'iends say they see a great change in me a great leap tow^ird culture really i never nibble at picture frames ’cause my artistic yearning? have reformed me i sleep all day and then at nite i come out and rummage around only i’m always careful of those contra])tions those palettes ’cause one time i had been visiting a friend over in the cook ing lab and you know how parties are especially with friends so i celebrated my new home'and was so angry but when i strolled home i tripped and landed on a squashy oil paint and i had to borrow mr evett’s turpentine but i still looked frightful with a pink tail and yel low ears last nite the moon was bright so i had plenty of light to study one of these abstractions (which is a piece of paper with lots of lines and all over it) and i studied and studied it was very pretty and almost looked like my favorite kind of cheese with all those holes which reminds me i’m sorta famished there’s a stag party over at mr welfare’s and i never refuse an invite so toodleoooo Backstagc Bits by Peggy Davis ‘ ‘ Even though we look unreal on the stage, we have real problems,” confided Alicia Markova lifting her net skirt and revealing a damp mesh stocking that hung limply on a muscular leg. ‘ ‘ Keeping tights dry is most difficult.” ‘ ‘ The greatest classic ballerina in history” flashed her beady brown eyes through false eyelashes two inches long and graciously answered the naive questions of two inquir ing Salemites after the performance of the ballet ensemble Wednesday night, November 14. Markova thinks Southern audi ences are “marvelous.” Because they have less ballet, they are more “appreciative.” “Their apprecia tion is genuine,” says Anton Dolin, her partner, noted dancer, and cho reographer. Both enjoy work with the small ballet ensemble as they consider it the “essence.” When they complete their present Ameri can tour in April, after four weeks at the Metropolitan, they will begin a South American tour and may later go to London. Dolin, whose real name is Patrick Healy-Kay, talked incessantly as ho signed autographs. He never moved the cigarette that seemed to be magnetized by his upper lip, but quipped with his bottom lip, “I don’t mind signing autographs. I worry about when I won’t be asked to sign.” We watched his as ho Wrapped a small bottle in newspaper and tissue paper and finally put it into a felt drawstring bag. The precious article, we found out, was the glue which he puts in his shoes when he dances and often puts in his clothes to secure thepi. Then there was Joan Engel (“that’s my right namel”) who lost her shoe so gracefully in the Chopin Valse that it seemed a part of the act. A short, platinum blond, she looked no older than the interview ers who asked how it happened. (She said nervously that this was only her third performance with a ballet company.) She pulled from the bottom of her trunk a bag con taining fifteen pairs of toe shoes and said, “I would have to take the one pair that would come off.” ‘ ‘ Tuff,” we sympathized. As wo were leaving we met Jack Gansert, a Frenchman who danced the part of Chinaman in the Nut cracker Suite. He yelled through his dressing room door, “I not only speak English, but I do laundry too.” We walked across the stage, dodg ing descending eyes an-d shouting stage hands, past open trunks full of “gaily deceiving” costumes and rows of pink satin toe shoes. These Wore “real people with real prob lems.” Ec* Teachers iesy Interests Miss Hewitt We have another tennis fan in our midst this year and you tennis lends better watch out because I can bet that Miss Jane Hewitt, the ew clothing teacher, can wield a ;iiean racquet. Small, brunette Miss Hewitt thinks that Salem is grand; the girls •e very unusual, and nice to work with. When asked for the outstand ing impression she said, “Why ev erybody says it, but it is true—Sa lem has such a friendly atmos phere.” Her list of schools is long and impressive. She graduated from Marion Junior College and Virginia olytechnic Institute and from there went to Eadford. Although she looks as if she might still be in college you can see that she has quite an' education behind her. Along with tennis her likes in clude semi-clas.sic musir. When she nentioned her next like I could un derstand why all the Salem girls like Miss Hewitt, because it was none other than the old stand-by, bridge. Of course sho likes cloth ing because ?ihe majored in that and really knows her course. When I asked for her dislikes, she thought for almost five minutes, ind finally came out with, “Why L can’t think of anything I dislike except headaches. You clothing students take heed of the maxim about not being a headache to your teachers. If you are ever up “aboot” the clothing lab, drop in and see what he soft-talking Virginian Miss Hewitt thmks about a good, fast 'ame of tennis or of bidding five no-trumps.

Nov. 29—4:00 Music Hour. 8:30 Cradle Song “But I don’t like people who write for newspapers,” was all that she would tell me in answer to a request for an interview. Finally by slipping up on her and blocking all exits I cornered Miss Elizabeth Hedgecock, the vivacious new home economics teacher. By this time I was so overcome by such energy that I had com pletely forgotten all questions , one should ask in a successful inter view. She came to my aid by sol emnly announcing two very impros sive statements: “I was born, am still living.” There is a lot I found that can be inserted between those two state ments. First of all, Miss Hodge- cock is a graduate of Salem Col lege, class of ’39—and she says it feels as if she were back home She did her graduate work in diet etics at the I'niversity of Penn sylvania and tlie Philadelphia Hos pital. As a side interest she stud ied law at night school—so don’t try to argue with her. Now along with her woik as faculty menU.er she is writing a book about foods which she hopes to ha\e published this spring. When asked about her dislikes Miss Hedgecock says that she does n’t look at things with a negative attitude, so theiefore her dislikes run only to such things as an avers ion to penny postcards. Her lists of likes could go on for pages with her first love of Strauss waltzes leading. Next would be food—all food—“the ultimate of good liv ing.” Slie :)lso likes Shelley and has a decided fondness for funny (ha ha) people. In her spare time she likes to design Cliristmas cards. So tliere she is—Miss Elizabeth Ho'lsreoocl:—])robably in the middle of the practice house living room singing songs, telling jokes, and thoroughly enjoying life. Nov. 30—8:30—Cradle Song.

After hearing Mrs, Haley from National Head(iuarlers tell us a little about it on Monday afternoon, I think I’ll stop and look the situation over. She said college graduates could come right into professional Scout ing even though wf had never been Scouts or Loaders. We can go into a job such as field secretary in .it city or community headquarters di rectly from college or whenever we get ready to go to work. The ability to meet people easily and the love of variety are two es sentials for professional “Scout- ers,” according to Mrs. Haley. Two days are never the same—one we may be conducting a volunteer leadership training course in the of fice all morning and spend the aft ernoon at a meeting of all the social agencies in town planning our cooperative work. Another day may find us at a Camp Council meeting discussing our plans for the coming summer’s camp session and later at a troop metting plan ning a more active Girl Scout Ac tivities Program for that troop with its leaders.
