THE SALEMITE
May 3, 1946.
Eight Pages
And Gossip, too
Two of the most excited people
oji the campus are Betsy Long and
Liizii Smith. Betsy has a new red
Ford convertible and Liza repre
sented Salem in the Shennandoah
Valley Apple Blossom Festival
(Thursday and Friday) as an atten
dant to the queen.
Honolulu calling Boots gave third
floor Clewell quite a thrill when
they heard that, “O-o-o-o, darling.”
That ‘■‘Texas Hating” man is real
ly setting Chiles on fire. Dottie
Smith’s man is here for a whole
we;k. Nancy O’Grady has the jump
on everybody—driving down from
New York with her husband, who’s
obviously a good catch. Margaret
Pierce Bell stopping by on her way
to the Kentucky Deiby showed us
what we’re missing. Ah, married life
—no term paper worries.
Lutz and Rose had the big week
end but they couldn’t outshine
Pierce and Pig who were sporting
around in a convertible. Jane
F-owlkes was really spxeajfling
“Butter” around.
So much has happened lately.
Over Easter half of Salem troop-
ol north to New York, Annapolis,
and West Point. And right after
that was the big Davidson week
end. Mary Bryant and Emma Mit
chell were sponsors at the dance. So
many people were there that I
can’t begin to name them.
It seonis that everybody is having
a date for May Day. Dick Haynes
evidently prefers Salem to any
other, even Finch. Is it Salem or
Betsy John?
Julia’s daddy will probably get
the biggest rush at the dance if he
ventures out. He and Julia will make
a cute pair in the figure.
Dr. Clark, ex-Bowman Gray, is-
coming from Durham to see Bee
Newman. That’s ju.st one from
Society. Everybody in that place
has a date for the dance. Check
that, girls.
It wouldn’t be right for John not
to be here for Ticka, Ab for Barrett,
Marty for Barbara, Harry for Jean
Basnight, Page for Jeanne Dungan,
Harold for Ann Millikan, Pickett
for Annabel, Jack for Nancy Lee,
Johnie for Jane Patton, Fuller for
Deaf and Dumb

“Darling, speak to the lady.” My
mother's voice accompanied with
significant glances became sterner.
“Elizabeth, speak to the nice lady.”
I, however, had no intention of
speaking to the “nice lady.” In
the first place I did not think she
was nice at all; and in the second
place, when I had tried to mumble
my timid how-do-you, the “nice
lady” had completely undermined
my efforts with her boisterous ex
clamation—“What a chubby child!
Really, Mary, you must have raised
her by the pig book. TIa! Ha!”
My mother laughed weakly, but my
sense of humour failed me com
pletely. My sense of speech also
failed me. I had done my duty; I
had tried to speak to the “nice
lady,” but .she had not given me a
chance.
It .seemed to me that my whole
life had been like that. As far
back as I could remember, my
mother had asked me questions and
then answered them herself before
I had a chance to open my mouth.
The only people who would ever
listen to me were my older sisters’
boy friends. When the boys came
to our house, I was always the first
to greet them at the door. I liked
nothing better than talking to these
squeaky-voiced Casanovas. They
asked me many questions, and what
is more important, let me answer
these same questions. I always talk
ed to them for at least a half hour,
for Anne and .Jane considered it a
breach of etiquette not to keep
them waiting for thirty minutes any
way. Suddenly, though, my conver
sations with tlie dates came to a
disastrous end. My sisters forbade
me to lie anywhere near the front
door between the hours of 7:30 P. M.
and 10:00 P. M. I was heart-broken.
My sisrers’ actions seemed horribly
unjust to me. 1 saw nothihg at all
wrong with telling the boys that
Anne and .Tane were weariijg their
girdles for the first time that night
and tha> they actually had a few
curves for a change. (I had gather
ed the last words from one of Anne’s
telephone conversations.)
Now I had no one to talk to but
children my own age. Between the
ages of six and fourteen I never
tried to talk to anyone outside my
small circle of friends. I felt as
if older people had no interest in
what I had to say, and I answered
them in monosyllables when they
spoke to mo. Finally, however. I
realized I could not remain mute
for the rest of my life. I made honest
efforts to say a few words to older
[M‘ople, l)ut it was a str’ics'e. The
more I fall:ed the easier it became,
but sometimes I still have sudden
quakes when I have to sjieak to
‘nice ladv.”
For Smart Fashions It’s
bsNIK’S
Mary Patience, Steward for Martha
Moore, Bill for Jean Shoaf, Jim
for !Mary Gaither (coming all the
way from Washington) and oddles
more.
Then there are new things pop
ping for the week-end. Ruby’s dat
ing Ticka’s brother. Eaton’s blind
date turned out well—now he’s
coming to the dance. Joe McLeod’s
dating Ilicks. This will be W^ayne’s
first Salem dance. Isn't that right
Kathryn?
And some people are leaving too.
Lib Peden’s already gone, and for
good. We really miss her. Patsy
Moser is leaving too, but only to
spend the week-end at Dock.
This is all for right now, but be
sure to dance with my date.
