Restores historic Office Building By Laurie Lake The building which houses the ■fices of Dr. Gramley and Mr. Hill, irmerly known as the Inspector’s puse, is undergoing renovations, duplicate of. the original porch on le north side is being constructed, intral air conditioning is being in- alled, and the dormer windows at ,e rear of the building are also idergoing changes. The work is ;ing made possible by a gift from ^ and Mrs. Robert B. Shore, Jr. id Mr. and Mrs. Dalton Ruffin in inor of Mrs. Robert D. Shore, Sr., former Trustee. Mrs. Shore’s isband did the original restoration ork in 1936. The grant was made trough Old Salem, Inc., to the dlege. Historically, the building has any interesting aspects. It was instructed in 1810 as a home-office ,r the President of Salem Female cademy, who was called the In- lector. The first Inspector to xupy the house was Abraham G. teiner. Ke and his family lived istairs in rooms which still con- in some of the original bedroom irniture. The Moravians provided a dry, |mite-free foundation for the Siding with the massive slabs of ick that they hauled from quarries hich were often quite a distance om the town. The far-sightedness ' the practical Moravians is also :en in the solid construction of ,e doors of the building. The md-planed walls are still visible i|are many of the original doors, §cks, for which there are no dup- :ate keys except the originals, are ill in service. The staircase in e building is the original, too, and jplicates of it can be found in the jeniors Present usical Work k ^Hanes Auditorium resounded with e applause of Salem students Wednesday, May 3 as Mrs. Mar- iret Sandresky’s Music Composi- jn Class presented their original lections.

The VILLAGE YARN SHOP upstairs in the community store We're Always Glad To Help You library and in Sisters’. Another fascinating sight in the building is the old Civil War safe upstairs which still contains Con federate money inside a beaten leather case. The section of the building com pleted in 1810 extended only to Dr. Gramley s office, which then, as now, was the office of the top ad ministrator of Salem. Later, the comptroller’s offices were added. Much later, the adjoining bookstore was completed. This section of the property had been the site of a wash house. The building also houses the Trustees’ room, which doubles as the Judicial Board room. Its walls are lined with the sober portraits of former Salem Presi dents. These interesting charcoal sketches are the work of a former Salem student. The artist com pleted all of the portraits of past Salem Presidents down to Edward R. Rondthaler. In the vacant bed rooms upstairs, gifts to the college are stored until they can be put into use. This building has served Salem well since 1810. The alterations it is undergoing now will help main tain its historic atmosphere, as well as keep it in servicable condition. Salem Chooses New Scholars Hail From North, South U.

Yeah, business is good; why I been on my feet since eight this mornin’, ever since old Mrs. Neilson came in. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, right on the dot. Get her under the dryer by 8:20, and she’s outa here by 9. She always tells me to use smaller rollers, and then picks them out herself. Always picks the same ones. Oh, hi Gloria. Have a seat; be with ya in a minute. “I been so busy I haven’t had a chance to clean up the place. The maid was s’posed to come in Sat urday to sweep, but she never showed. Had seventeen customers Saturday. Big day — didn’t finish until 7 o’clock. Yes sir, the hair business sure turned out to be okay. Not like our candy deal, ’member that? Sure had rather fix hair than candy. Say, how’s your job ? Good. Pretty good pay, huh ? And ya . got regular hours. I never did learn Jo type; anyway, I can’t picture me sittin’ and peckin’ away at a type writer eight hours a day. But I sure do like hairdressing. It gives me a chance to be a little artistic, know what I mean. Just over three years I’ve had this place. Really don’t seem that long since John died, but I guess it never does. “Say, did ya know I just had a birthday? Forty-one yesterday. Thanks. You know I was countin’ up and three years and two months from tomorrow I finished beauty school. Sure am glad I’m not goin’ through that now; days and nights were too much. But I did manage to finish in half the time. That’s one thing I got to be proud of. “Say, how’s your family? Good. Oh, they’re fine. Suzie spent Sun day with me. It’s hard to believe she’s 16. She seems to be gettin’ along fine with Johnny and Martha. You knew she wasn’t livin’ with me no more since I sold the house and moved into the apartment. Yeah, I just couldn’t stand it—too many memories. Plus, there’s no point in keepin’ a big place for just two people, and neither of us home dur ing the day. Of course I would like to see more of her, but this seems to be working out okay. Johnny’s talkin’ about goin’ back to college, but I don’t know if he will or not. He’s got three more years, and what with the baby and all, I just don’t see how they can afford it. I help them out a little, but I got expenses too. Got a car, did ya know? Yeah, a Valiant. Course it ain’t no Cadillac, but it gets me where I’m goin’. Don’t use too much gas. “Say, Myra, it sure is nice to have you come in. Nice to see you (Ccmtinued on Page 8) point average at the end of the year. The students are judged on many things — “their secondary school records.
