was a posibility of sending their
children to Salem, but war changes
everything—.Justus Randolph and

alumnae sons.

little sisters had little sisters old

Faculty Vacates
The summer found the Salem
faculty scattered widely. Dr. and
Mrs. Eondthaler went to Manteo
and New York then spent the re
maining days entertaining their
children and grandchildren. The
Weinlands drove and climbed in
the Smokies in June, then Mr.
Weinland traveled constantly in
Salem’s interests.
Mr. Evett and family summered
in Connecticut where the artist
absorbed himself in painting. Dr.
Smith drove to the West Coast
with stops along the way to visit
family and friends in various states.
Dean Hixson interrupted summer
duties at .Salem with a trip home to
Augusta, Georgia, and a motor trip
in the Smokies with Mrs. Pyron,
Miss Weaver, and Miss Kirkland.
Miss Covington had a succession of
trips from the mountains to the s^a
which ended in Washington, D. C.
where she worked with nationally-
known economists for two weeks.
Dr. Willoughby summered in Ver
mont. Miss Shamburger taught a
session at the University of Pitts
burgh. Dr. McEwen taught summer
school at Furman University.
In August, Dr. and Mrs. Anseombe
journeyed to New York. Miss Hedge-
cock worked on her doctors degree
at the University of Syracuse. Miss
Hewitt was in Virginia all summer.
Miss Horton and Miss Simpson
rented one of Mr. Campbell’s beach
cottages in Maine. Mr. Campbell,
himself, was happy among his boats
and lobster pots.
Dr. Wenhold did private coaching
and spent much time in research on
Salem’s early history. The highlight
of the Vardell’s summer was their
trip to the Berkshire Festival. Miss
Neely’s summer included a visit
home to Moline, Illinois, study at
the University of Minnesota’s Biolo
gical Station at Lake Itasca, and
two weeks in New York.
Miss Laurie Jones visited in
Georgia and Virginia. Miss Marsh
attended the annual meeting of the
American Alumni Council in Am
herst, Mass., then spent the rest
of her vacation in New England.
Miss Perryman went to Michigan,
Keptucky and the beach. Miss Ni-
fong tripped to Chicago, Junaluska
and Myrtle Beach. Miss Newlin
visited in Philadelphia and a number
of North Carolina towns. Mrs. Dur
ham was resident nurse at Camp
Hanes.
Miss .\dele Piinglp is the vitamin
pill that Salem’s gala l"5th year
needs! Her unlimited enthusiasm
and excessive energy give every
promise of revolutionizing Salem.
Her short, brunette effervescence
has already invaded and prevaded
the campus.
Miss Pangle finds Salem has a
“definite atmosphere” of friendli
ness and helpfulness”—a reflection
qualities. Concerning the policy of
the deans she says, “We want to
of her own abundance of those two
work together with students. To
gether, we’ll get things done! Feel
free to come in and talk to us at
anytime.”
A graduate of the Omaha schools.
Miss Pangle received her A. B. in
psychology and sociology at the
University of Omaha and did grad
uate work at Columbia University.
Her versatility made her outstanding
in college activities. Aside from
scholastic honors she received, such
as being on the dean’s honor list,
membership in the National Voca
tional Guidance Association, and
election to Who’s Who in American
Colleges and Universities for two
consecutive years. Miss Pangle ex
celled in extra-curricular activities.
She was treasurer and later presi
dent of the Student Council, vice-
president of Phi Sigma Chi, an
honorary pep organization, student
representative on the Board of
Publications, president of the Wo
man’s Athletic Association, class
historian, editor of the annual, and
she received an award by faculty
and students for outstanding leader
ship.
But this is only the skeleton of
Miss Pangle’s interests. She dances,
sings, and is interested in dramatics.
Having studied dancing for nineteen
years, she considered it as a career
but decided against it in spite of
several offers from the San Fran
cisco Opera Ballet. She is a mezzo-
soprano, sang in an a capella choir for
three years, and did some solo work
in the University Choir. Besides be
ing student director for an all-stu-
dent show her senior year in college,
she played leads and directed other
productions during her college career.
She has the “most wonderful
brother in the world,” she says with
her brown eyes full of animation.
“Don’t get me started!” With him
she won the mixed doubles tourna
ment in badminton at tlie Univer
sity.
One of the most interesting ex
periences that Miss Pangle relates
is her stay in New York last winter.
She lived at International House, a
sort of dormitory with about 500
students from all over the world liv
ing there. Working on her masters
in student personell administration
and vocational guidance, she still
found time for plenty of social life
—plays and “every night club in
New York.” The secret of her ub
iquity, she reveals is a “flexible”
time schedule which she recommends
to all of us who just “can’t find
time for it all.” Consult Miss Pangle
for further prescriptions for energy
plus!
Presenting . . . by far the most
popular lady on campus at present
. . . Miss Josephine Wilson, Salem’s
new D^an of Kesidence . . . who
hails from Kittaning, Pa. ... a town
with a history not unlike Salem’s—
Indians and Moravian missionaries.
In her headquarters in Clewell
(where there is never a DULL mo
ment) Miss Wilson’s sm^le and ready
handsliake are on tlie job from nine
’til nine. . . I
The problem of interviewing her
involved a patience-endurance test
. . . between phone calls and permis
sion blanks she managed to relate
her amazing educational background
see . . . Bachelor of Arts degree
—Ward-Belmont, Nashville, Tcnnes-
from Pennsylvania College for Wo
men, Pittsburgh . . . (“oh yes, now
where dil I put the room list?”)
. . . graduate work at Penn. State,
University of Pittsburgh, Univer
sity of Virginia ... her M. Litt.
degree (“Master of Letters, not
literature, says she”) is from the
University of Pittsburgh . . . since
her Masters she has done more
graduate work at Pittsburgh Teach
er’s College . . . (Interruption:
‘ ‘ Come in, girls—” there’s that .smile
again! . . . “I’m Miss Wilson,
Residence Dean . . . ”)
As for Salem—her “very pleasant
impression” was formed before she
even arrivQd in North Carolina . . .
Big news item . . . the new dean
is one of those—a Presbyterian,
along with most of the other
Salemites . . . she’s interested in
the “ Y” and Stee Gee . . . she
likes to be asked for advice . . .
Her answer to all questions, and
the key to lier personality—. .
but I like people more than anything
else.” That should make her a real
Salemite!
Something new has been added to
Salem campus. Who would have
ever though that ye olde Salem
would ever turn coed! But that’s
just about what has happened! Ap
proximately forty-five boys now
decorate the Salem campus, as of
registration day. Most of the boys
are Veterans, but they would just
as soon forget it and just be plain
students, thank you.
According to Dr. Howard Jordan,
counsellor to men, the boys are
taking courses which will enable
them to go into engineering later,
or straight B. S. courses, or even B.
Mus. courses. They have the same
cuts system as the girls, but are
under a little stricter management
due to the Veterans Administration.
A men’s lounge is being equipped
for them under Main Hall in the
old Sights and Insights office. Boys
are not to enter the girls dormitories
during the day unless asked by a girl
to go to the smokehouse of Clewell
to smoke. After six p. m. the boys
must observe the same rules as boys
not attending school in regard of
dating Salemites.
Boys are not required to attend
assembly as are the girls. This is
because of a Salem rule which
states that students over 21 are re
garded by the college as special
students and are not required to
attend assembly. Since a majority
of the men students are over 21
(which thrills the Seniors, I know)
it was decided by certain members
of the faculty to consider the men
as particular students and not re
quire assembly attendance for any
of them.
The boys have expresed desires
to enter into many outside activities
including the orchestra, mixed
chorus, choral ensemble, draniatic.s,
Salemite, Sights and Insights, In
ternational Relations Club, Lab-
lings, and the Language Clubs. Of
course, it is entirely up to the
organizations to decide whether to
admit men or not. As for the Salem
ite, it is definitely in favor of men
reporters!
The boys will form their own
private men’s organization in the
near future and officers will be
elected. This organization will have
its own social activities.
The Salemite wishes to welcome
the new “coeds” and remind the
girls that only nine of the men are
married!
BUT WHICH NINE?'!!
