Army " Troubadors” Sing
Varied Songs In Assembly
By Mary Day Mordecai
The sound of drums, guitars, and
clapping hands occasioned a very
unusual assembly Friday, April 28,
as “The Circle A Troubadors,”
from Fort McPherson, performed
before a very enthusiastic audience.
'I'lic Troubadors are a part of the
Fort McPherson Soldier Show Pro
duction of the Third United States
Army. The larger group usually
Linda Camp, sophomore; Deedee
Geraty, freshman; and Peggy Hol-
royd, sophomore who make up the
Melas Three will represent Salem

Talent Show to be held in the
Greensboro Coliseum Auditorium,

Ecology Class Explores
Wilds During Field Trips
By Bebe Anderson
“Tonya, wake up!”
“Where is Dabney?”
“Over there.”
“That’s great because I can’t even
see her in this fog.”
“Well, what do you expect at 6
o’clock in the morning?”
“I don’t know, but if Mr. McLeod
doesn’t show up all those birds will
be long gone!”
And so begins a refreshing eco
logy field trip with Mr. McLeod.
No matter what the hour, the day
or night, field trips may be taken.
With or without both eyes open!
Sometimes the trips are to logical
places of interest such as Tangle-
wood Park or restricted forest areas
where oftentimes not even plants or
bugs dare infiltrate. At other times
the class takes from land to the
water. Water and marsh lands are
the same as any other areas—a
habitat for living organisms. They
support various types of life forms,
and since they do, the class natur
ally finds a grave interest in the
locality. Such plant life ranges
from the grasses to the jewel weed
to the commonly seen cattails. Of
course there is a small percentage
of diversity.
The method for obtaining unusual
data is the conventional line—inter
cept method. By making adequate
measurements exactly one centi
meter from a string, the exploited
area from one point (grass) in a
straight line to the finishing point
(grass on the other side of the cat
tails) is covered. But a problem
arises. The habitat is marsh; marsh
consists of mud, silt, water slime,
and pseudo-quick sand that is basi
cally quick sand. The problem is
that the class isn’t aware that it is
so quick, until a cry out of the cat
tails panics all. Cattails smash
against faces as class members
blindly race to find Barry Thrift
sinking now at her waist into the
oozing depths. Mr. McLeod is call
ing—his concern is evident—-again
he yells—he is worried—again he
asks, “Where is the string?”

performs a program entitled “Show-
boat Jamboree.” The smaller group
which appeared at Salem, is com
posed of twelve singers, trumpet,
guitar, drums, and organ players.
The Troubador’s performance in
cluded a wide variety of folk and
country music, popular songs, and
instrumentals. They opened the
show with “This Land is Your
Land.” The twins. Specialists
Fourth Class Jerry and Larry Need
ham, then sang “Playmate of the
Month” and “Those were the Good
Old Days.” The group’s lead singer

solo, “Water Boy.”

renditions of “Coming from the
Mountain,” “Georgie Girl,” “Scotch
and Soda,” “My Cup Runneth
Over,” “What Now, My Love,”
“Zorba the Greek,” and “Cotton

The group was coaxed into two
encores by a very receptive audi
ence. For the first encore, they
sang “California Dreamin’ ” and “If
I Flad a Hammer.” By special re
quest, Chuck Austin gave a solo of
“Summertime” during the second
encore. SP/4 Eddie Grimes, trum
pet player, was then featured as an
accompanist. The Needham twins

show consists of Mr. Douglas L.
Grumpier, Technical Director; Mr.
Addison G. Stacy, Musical Director;
and Mr. Gilbert Gross, Production

Sociology Students Worh With
Police Force In Field Work
By Dot Dicus
Under the supervision of John G.
Wendt, Salem’s Sociology Depart
ment has been participating in sev
eral community-wide projects. Stu
dents in Sociology 101-102 are given
the opportunity to volunteer their
time and experience towards either
the Red Shield Girl’s Club or the
Experiment in Self-Reliance. The
Girl’s Club, located on Waughtown
Street and sponsored by the Salva
tion Army, provides a gathering
point where some one hundred or
more local girls may seek friendship
as well as instruction in such useful
fields as cooking, knitting, arts and
crafts, and singing. Under the gen
eral leadership of Nancy Thompson,
six Salem girls are currently parti
cipating in the program. These are
Milly Daughtridge, Edith Allen,
Greer Stout, Polly Smith, Peggy
Stuart, and Bette Whitaker. In ad
dition to these girls, students from
Wake Forest and N. C. School of
the Arts are helpers at the club.
The students generally donate one
or two afternoons a week, at which
time they are assigned to a specific
duty or area of instruction at the
Club. Currently the Club is work
ing on the presentation of their
May Celebration, which will be held
this Saturday.
The Experiment in Self-Reliance
is a local arm of a national pro
gram. It centers around becoming
acquainted with and tutoring one
or two students of junior high age.
The Salem girls working in this
project go to a church beside Pais
ley Junior High School, and the
students are from the adjacent
school. Janet Barbour, Jane Bos-
tian, Judy Van Dyke, Pam Hoff
man, Nancy Holderness, Susan Klo-
cko, Lynn McLaughlin, Betsy Pea
body, Karen Shelley, and Nancy
Thompson are all working with this
program. Throughout the year the
girls have held special parties for
the children, such as at Christmas
and Thanksgiving. Last Saturday
they sponsored a picnic. Students
from Wake Forest and Winston-
Salem State are also participating
in this program.
