THE SALEMITE
Sept. 20, 1946.

New Freedom
By Amie Watkins
1 got my Jialo this June! That is,
r graduated from THE Preflight
School for angels, better known
as Saint Mary’s, not “in the woods”
as one freshman inquired of me, but
in Eulcigh, X. C., the capital of our
fair state.
Don’t think for one minute that
I am belittling that fine institution,
for T really am proud to be a finished
jiroduct of Saint Mary’s, but—there
is a great deal of difference in
Saint Mary’s and Salem. I''or in
stance, practically u]ion arrival ihe
first words utterel to me by some
of the girls after their friendly
“hello’s’’ were “come on down to
senior for u smoke.” I was bowled
over; smoking just wasn’t allowed
where T came from. Later on, after
finally completing registration, I
found myself walking over to the
Post Office and the drugstore. I
got halfway across the street when
I remembered that I hadn’t signed
out. Someone enlightened me that
I didn’t have to sign out except
to go uptown, and furthermore that
I could promenade over to the drug
store until ten o’clock nt night.
Again I was amazed. T could go on
indefinitely citing examples of this
type but I think you get what I
mean.
To be more serious, I am very im-
]iressed with Salem. The friendly
sjiirit of the old girls, the faculty,
and those like myself, who, too, are
coming to Salem for the first time,
have made me feel right at home
from the very beginning. Both the
“seen and the unseen” make me
proud to be a Salemite.
Summer School
In August Has
Oppressive Heat
By Phyllis Langdon
Until last summer I had had the
stupid idea that people go to the
mountains in summer to keep cool. I
say that I “had had” that idea.
Xow, I know better.
Last summer when I decided to
go to summer school, T chose the
mountains because of their famed
cool weather. T went to Mars Hill,
a little college eighteen miles from
civilization, if Asheville can be call
ed civilization. By the end of the
third day, I was able to forecast the
weather for the remaining eight
weeks that I was to be there.
It was the same everyday of the
week, and every week was the same
as the week before and the week
after . . . hot, sticky, stifling.
Every morning except Sunday, I
got up at seven-thirty and in the
-t)roiling sun hurried down the
mountain on which I slept, up
another mountain on which I ate,
and after eating, down the mountain
again and up still another on
which the post office was, and after
a few minutes rest ... on to another
mountain and the ranslation of
.Tulius Ceasar, who also climbed
mountains. »
Vou may think that I use the word
“mountain” too freely. I must ad
mit that where I come from it
doesn’t take much to make a moun
tain, but these were actually bigger
than whi>t I consider average hills.
Therefore, I feel quite justified in
calling them “mountains.”
Since I had, three Latin classes
and three meals, I climbed at least
eight mountains per day . . . and
all in the heat of” the day.
T had never even imagined that it
could get 80 “ stuffv” out of doors,
but most anything can happen on
a mountain. Water even boils at a
lower temperature.
About three o’clock every after
noon, when I was getting out of
my last Latin class for the day, it
rained. At least they called it rain.
To me it seemed that just another
cloud floated past, and when it
was gone, T was wet (but that didn’t
matter for I was already wet.) It
was more like walking through a
pool of water than having it “rain”
down upon me from' above. This,
too, was hot and sticky and made
the atmosphete even stuffier.
