Seniors Given
Annual Dinner
The annual seiiior dinner rvas
held Wednesdays March 26 at 6
]).m. in the club dining room. The
hosts were Dr. and Mrs. Dale
Gramley, and the guests included
the seniors. Miss Ivy Hixson, Mrs.
Amy Heidbreder and Mrs. Nell
Starr, the senior class advisor.
During the meal. Dr. Gramley
called on different girls to make
impromptu speeches, for which he
chose the subjects. Each senior
received a Salem bracelet as a
favor.
After dinner, the guests were in
vited to the Gramley’s home where

vided by the seniors.
ing, evaluating, and participating in
actual classroom work in the
county schools. Thus far all ob
servations have been held in City
View School. All of the element
ary students observe together in
the first two grades to learn the
teaching of the basic skills such as
reading, handwriting, spelling, lan
guage, arithmetic, social studies,
science, art and music. After re
ceiving a proper foundation, the
students divide and observe in any
of the grades from one to seven.
Aiding School Work
Aiding in the county school work
are Miss Kathleen Emerson and
Miss Mildred Pate, Supervisors of
Elementary Education in the
county schools; Mr. Arthur Steere,
Assistant Superintendent of the
county schools; Air. Ben Smith,
Art Consultant for the county
schools; Mrs. Elsie Cline, first
grade teacher at Mineral Springs
and Mrs. Ellis, of Sedge Garden
School.
The strength of these observa
tions, says Dr. Welch, lies in (1)
learning textbook . and content
material; (2) actually seeing class
room procedures carried out; (3)
evaluating and having a chance to
set up their own plant and (4)
having a chance to actually teach.
Others Aid In Work
The elementary student teachers,
as a result of their observations,
will compile a running account of
their observations and thinking in
the form of a diary. Also included
in their work is extensive outside
reading, planning a unit and teach
ing for one period during the last
two weeks of the semester.
Besides spending two hours a
week in the schools, the girls wall
spend one hour at Salem with Dr.
Welch. Under her they will study
testing and other evaluation, re
cords, individual guidance, audio
visual education, professional et
hics, the psychological factors in
volved in drill and assignments,
utilizing county resources and in
tegrating experiences for children.
Dr. Welch also stresses that the
students be adequately a,b 1 e to
handle oral work in the classroom.
She and Miss Elizabeth Reigner
are working jointly on this pro
gram at Salem.
Although the secondary educa
tion majors are unable to observe
in the county schools, an arrange
ment has been made for their in
dividual work.
Their program includes dealing
with the problems of reading, cri
teria for satisfactory oral work, in
teresting students in their work,
directing students, making assign
ments, classroom managefiient, use
of audio-visual aids, art of asking
good questions, evaluation and unit
building.

Salem College
To Be Host At
Play Festival
In connection with the Carolina
Dramatic Association Salem Col
lege is sponsoring a Drama Fest
ival on Friday, April 4. About
five drama festivals of this type
are presented in North Carolina
each year, but Salem College is
sponsoring the first one ever to be
held in this region. These fest
ivals are preparatory for those who
wish to carry a play to Chapel Hill
later in the spring and are pri
marily for high schools.
The plays to be presented here
are “Down in the Valley,” Reyn
olds High School; “That Awful
Letter,” Reed High School, Lex
ington, N. C.; “Sanctuary,” Old
Town High School, Old Town, N.
C.; “Bastien and Bastienne,” the
Youth Opera Group of Winston-
Salem ; “Finders Keepers,” “Two
Crooks and a Lady,” and “High
ness,” Greensboro High School and
the third act of “Ghosts,” the Win
ston-Salem Teachers College.
“Down in the Valley,” a musical,
was the theme of last year’s May
Day at Salem.
The purpose of this festival is to
give the surrounding people a
chance to discuss informally their
ideas and problems concerning the
theater, to watch others and learn
from them, and to get outside con
structive criticism. While the event
will be educational for them, it will
be entertaining to the Salem audi
ence. The whole idea of the CDA
is to encourage an interest in
dramatic art in Carolina schools
and communities and promote the
production of plays.
The festival is divided into three
sessions: one play Friday morning,
four plays that afternoon, and four
in the evening. The morning ses
sion is admission free; the other
sessions are 25 cents apiece, or 35
cents for the whole. There will be
one critic judge from the Univer
sity of North Carolina, as yet un
announced, and awards will be
given following the final production
Friday evening. Salem College is
invited to attend any or all per
formances and support the sur
rounding schools.

Cashmore Speaks Here
For International Day
“Above all nations is humanity.” Mr. Dick Cashmore, Rotary Fellow'-
ship student at U. N. C., used this quotation from a plaque at Cornell
University as the theme of his International Day talk in chapel yester
day. His topic was “International Understanding.”
Mr. Cashmore pointed out that the first step in international under
standing is acquiring facts about
other countries—facts concerning
physical environment, traditions
and the human being.
This last fact is the most im
portant, he stated. “You under
stand someone because you under
stand him as an individual—With
out the individual there is nothing-
valuable left.”
But even more essential than the
facts, the speaker explained, is the
attitude that one takes toward the
facts. The right attitude of mind
toward individuals of other coun-
i tries involves charity for these
people, “because they may be
wrong,” and humility, “because yon
may be W'rong.”
As the main problem in achieving
understanding among nations, Mr.
Cashmore sited the fact that we
“are trying to get understanding,
and we don’t understand each
other.”
“We’re living in a mighty small
world,” he said. “You can either
try to understand people, or you
can create friction.”
Mr. Cashmore was born in Cal
cutta, India. His home now is
Wakefield, Yorkshire, England.
He was one of 90 outstanding-
students from 33 countries who
were chosen for fellowships to
study in foreign countries. At
Chapel Hill he is _preparing to do
administrative and social work in
Africa.
He served as a Second Lieuten
ant in the British Royal Engineers
from 1946-48. He received his B.
A. at Jesus College, Cambridge;
University in June 1950.
Mr. Cashmore also took part in
a panel discussion which was held
at Salem yesterday afternoon to
observe International Day. David
son, Catawba and Salem vi^ere also
represented on the panel by for
eign students from their schools.
The topic for the discussion was
“Opinions of Foreign Countries on
the Coming United States Presi
dential Election.”
International Day was concluded
with a coffee for visitors, faculty
and Salem students in the Friend
ship Rooms of Strong.
