Oct. 18, 1946. THE SALEMITE Page Five. Frances Horne Active Freshman Is Salem's ‘‘Good Neighbor” By Susan Johnson Imagine living where orchids grow wild! Frances Horne lives in just that kind of place—Venezuela, South America. Her parents have a “hac ienda” in the mountains of Vene zuela, where they grow their own orchids. Frances was born in Winston- Salem, North Carolina, but she moved with her family to Venezuela when she was only two months old. Her father is with the Standard Oil Company there. The company has its own colony with many American conveniences — movies, swimming pool, tennis courts, and clubs. Frances’ home is on Lake Maracaibo, which accounts for her being such a good swimmer. She also loves golf and hunting. She tells of the time the family went bird hunting and got caught , in the woods during the rainy season. It took them thirty hours to get pulled out. Frances says that, the Venezuelans are nice people—very courteous and gracious. The climate is nearly al ways comfortable in Venezuela due to trade winds. It takes her ten hours to go by plane from Miami to Barran- quilla, Columbia, and two more hours to her home. She plans to go back to Maracaibo for her summer va cation. Frances is sixteen years old and a ]>iano major. She loves classical music, but due to continual exposure to boogie on third floor Clewell, she is fast becoming a jitterbug! If you see a cute brunette with hair one inch long, running from Memorial Hall to the dining room— well, that’s just our “Good Neigh bor,” Frances Horne.

Review Is Successful; Booths Show Year’s Work FKANCES HORNE By Joanne Swasey ‘ ‘ Y-Review, Y-Eeview” — every where we turned this week we saw signs and heard about the Y- Eeview. We decided we had better go up and see what this added at traction on campus was all about. As we went in the door of the Day Student Center this week, Frances Carr met us at the door with a note of welcome. We were asked just to wander around and sign up for what-ever phase of Y-work we were especially interest ed in. There in the blue and yellow booth was Community Service. Mary El more Finley and Hallie McLean ex plained to us that their field covered the Girl Scouts, the Y-teens, Day Nursery, the Red Cross, hospital work and the U. S. 0. They told us we would be asked to give only one hour a week to this work. As we wandered on to the red and white booth, Margaret McCall and Betty Holbrook greeted us. Their job on the Y-Cabinet is pub licity; Salemlte articles, posters and announcements are their specialties. In the corner we found Preston Kabrich behind her blue and white Room Committee booth. She tried to convince us that we should help her arrange and decorate rooms for Vesper and Y-Watch services.

We asked Emma Mitchell and Kathryn Ballew what it was all about and found out about Salem’s part in the W'orld Student Service Fund cam paign. They urged us to help them with their fund collecting on Book Store Day in collecting books for world student aid, and with stunt night. Next, we came to the piano all decorated and disguised with notes and music in dark blue and white. Jean McNew and Frances Sowers were talking to some musically-in dined girls about working up the music for Vespers and other pro grams. In the dainty lavendar and white booth, Virginia Smith was explain ing that the Social Committee served at all the Y-teas, helped plan picnics and led all the social activities. Then we heard Martha Walton and Betty Wulfe calling us to come over to the Y-store booth and sample their candy and gum. Tripping around the dorm on Thursday nights selling things for the Y-store sounds like fun. P6ggy Broaddus and Joanne Swasey at the green and white Worship booth invited us to sign up with them. Their jobs are planning Vespers and Y-watches every week. As we left, Lomie Lou Mills gave us our National Y. W. C. A. mem bership cards. This proved to us that we are all definitely members of the ever-active Salem Y. W. C. A. Davidson Entertains Salemites Salem-Davidson Day, a pre-war tradition, will be resumed this year.

AT THE THEATERS CAROLINA Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday “Heartbeat” Thursday - Friday - Saturday ‘ ‘ Monsieur Beaucaire” FORSYTH Monday - Tuesday “Strange Love of Martha Ivers” Wednesday “Here Come the Coeds” Thursday “Do You Love Me?” Friday - Saturday “Her Adventurous Night” Coed Likes Small Classes, Attention and Friendliness DALLAS CLINE Bishop Pfohl Talks on Salem The Right Reverend J. Kenneth Pfohl, chairman of the Board of Trustees of Salem College, spoke at a special chapel service on Founders’ Day, October 11. The bishop first summarized briefly the history of the college and of the Moravian people in this section. He spoke of the emphasis which the Moravians have always placed upon education, as is illustrated by the fact that they were among the first to estab lish schools in this country. He then outlined the future role of the college, important because it will provide for women religious edu cation and training for citizenship. * By Carolyn Taylor Not Houston, not Fort Worth, but Dallas Cline. Dallas is one of our coeds—half freshman and half sopho-. more. He hails from Winston-Salem —was born, reared, and schooled hero, but his present home is in Salisbury. Dallas graduated from Reynolds High School in 1938. At Reynolds he was especially active in wrest ling, and was on the Y. M. C. A. wrestling team. He still is interested in wrestling, and he is coaching the wrestling team at the “Y” here in town where he lives. After gradua tion from high school, Dallas worked for the Bahnson Company here in Winston-Salem for three years, after which he went to Appalachian Col lege for a semester. In 1942, he joined the Photo Rec onnaissance Division of the Army Air Corps and served in Italy and Africa. While in the Air Corps, he was awarded the Bronze Star. Dallas was discharged from the Army last November and attended the summer session at Chapel Hill last summer. He plans to return to Chapel Hill next summer, where he will work toward a degree in production management. Asked how he liked Salem, Dallas grinned sheepishly, and said he liked it all very much—the small classes, personal attention, and especially the friendliness of the girl students, lie thinks the boys and girls should get together for an acquaintance I>arty. “I don’t even know all the boys, much less any of the girls, except those in my classes.” He thinks all the coeds are ‘‘swell follows” and believe me, girls, Dallas Cline fulfills that bill him self!
