News and
Unconfirmed Report
Monday (my day off!)
Dear Boaty,
So you want to know what we
graduates are doing? Why recupprat-
ing from four hard years of study
at Salem, of course. What do you
think wo are doing . . . working?
Hello, no!
But seems as if I did hear that
Senora Lindsey and Doris Little
are “computing the commissions
and charges on the sales’’ at the
tobacco warehouses in Tarboro and
Robinsville, respectively. It couldn’t
be hard work tho! Meredith Boaze
is in her father’s business in Lex
ington . . . doing what I don’t know,
but it must be easy! And Peggy
Witherington is also working with
figures at the Wachovia Bank in
Baleigh. Sarah Hege is teaching
school at the Methodist Orjjhanage
hero also. With these two, plus
school teacher Marie Griffin and
State College student Kathleen
Phillips, wo could form a new
Alumni Chajrter. Kh, Lelia?
' It is running a nursery for Mary
Farmer Brantley, and Helen Robbins,
after resting from a hard summer of
camp life in Maino, is now teach
ing the second grade in Kocky
Mount, so I hear.
Catherine Bunn, our Wagnerian
soprano, is studying voice in Xew
York. Watch the itet billboards for
hor first performance. Music grad
Martha Moore Hayes is going on
with her piano work at Hie Now
England Conservatory in Boston.
School teacher Wooten is strugg
ling with her high school brats in
Kinston. “Lovely, simply lovely,”
she sarcasms.
Jane Angus, Nancy Hills Davis,
and Anne Carter are all three teach
ing school and tanning in Florida.
One rumor has Mollie Cameron
teaching in Florida; while the other
says she is a dietitian in Michigan.
Ho’tv the grape vine does get twisted!
Betsy Casteen is at present nursing
bruises received from the erasers and
chalk thrown at her by the bigger
than average boys in her Civics clas^
in Leaksville High.
Marjorie Conrad is w'orking in
dietetics at Watts Hospital, Durham,
while Annie Lucas Douthit is play
ing around in little Washington, the
deop South, that is. “Luke” has ton-^
tativc plans to work here in Raleigh
somo timo sium.
A ten page lotter from Marianne
Everett rovcalB only that she’s a
New York Vankee now. along with
"iir idilur, Effie Buth Maxwell;
Katherine Gibbs secretary, “Lulu”
Stack; Julia Maxwell, studying at
the Foster School of Design; and
Betsy Thomas, taking a merchandis
ing course at Lord and Taylor’s.
These gals plan to get a pent house
as soon as the first pay cheek comes
in. Meanwhile if you hear of one,
notify “Effie” in Greenwich village!
Miss Julia Garrett, the late May
Queen, tripped in at the Debutante
Ball, a very formal affair, last Satur
day night in a stree.t length dress
minus one shoulder plus many ac
cessories, and informed me that her
operating base will be Durham . . .
with the American Air Lines. Flying
is much newer in the Atomic Age
than burning, ya’ know!
Hill-billy Garth, who spent a rock
ing summer at Blowing Rock, has
now taken over 1/10 of the respon
sibility at' “Ye GarJ^iey Rugge
Shoppe” in Hickory. Sisters ^Peggy
and V. V. handle the other 9/10’s.
Ruth Shore, Marion Waters, Avis
Weaver, June Reid, Josephine Holler,
and Martha Sherrod are married . . •
the unusuals of our class. But just
wait a while. “Working” will force
us into the storm of matrimony, ]
know!
Polly Starbuck, who recently spent
a glorious week with Ed in Scars-
liale, is residing in a suite at Saint
Katherine’s in ITichmoud as head of
the music department.
Nancy Snyder is attending bridal
parties for those beautiful Roanoke
gals (Jean FultoJi, for one) and in
her spare time is workinog with blue
prints at the Bell Telejihone Co. in
Roanoke.
Nancy Paige Swift is in Goldsboro
now working in the library. Wink
Wall is at her “favorite past time”
. . . teaching school in High Point
. . . the sixth grade to be exact.
Nancy Ridenhour, bride-elect, is
going on with her music in New
York along with Jane Calkins and
Betty Withers. Anne Dysart is teach
ing history in a Mecklenburg County
school near Charlotte, while co
hort Vidette Bass im’ulges in a bit
of flying in Wilson. Well, anyway,
she’s working at the airport!
Grace Lane will be a wife on
S'ptember 28 in Greensboro. The
Maxwell girls are in the wedding.
Is it really true that you are
taking a post-graduate course at
Salem, Virginia Mclver? Now that’s
the one girl in our class who, I must
say, is working. As for the rest of
us, believe me, it’s play. What
could bo nicer than the beaches on
the week-ends (after working until
5 o’clock on Saturdays), parties for
those silly brides every other night,
dates in between for sure, and foot
ball games at Carolina, Wake Forest,
State, Duke, Davidson, and, of
course, the Northern Universities( ?).
Really, students and scholars, it all
sounds great . . . but after six days
of long, hard labor, frankly we’re
too tired to do anything but dream
about it all!
Take niy advice and stay at
Salem. It’.s much easier. And with
those co-eds . . . wow!
W'e talk as if we don’t envy you,
Virginia, but frankly we miss the
ole school and all the fun ai.d girls
like everything. But w'e’re coming
up soon, two-by-two. So, look for us
at May Day perhaps.
With best wishes for a year as
wonderful as our Senior one .was.

Assistant Society Editor at

any way. Wc sincerely pledge our
full cooperation and enthusiasm.
Somo of us are- working toward a

ing pro-med, pre-teck, and regular

a talented group according to the
number of music majors and various
ones who have expressed an interest
in a mixed chorus. We hope to take
an active part in many of- Salem’s
activities.
