Six teen different states are represent ed with North Carolina leading with 75 girls, followed by Virginia with 25, and South Carolina with 14. Judging from their summer ac tivities, it seems that Salem has ac quired a tremendously talented and industrious group of girls. About three-fourths of the girls spent their summer working for their parents or at various other jobs. Eleven spent more than three weeks of their summer in Europe. Susan Alexander worked with diabetic children in a camp in Que bec, Canada, while Rochelle Hoback spent part of her summer in a youth ministry program in the Bay Islands of Honduras. Dianne Dailey played in seven golf tournaments during the summer. Anne Cargill advanced the sports' program in a camp in West Virginia by teaching riflry. “Meg” in a summer theater dra matics production of “Little Wo men” was played by Susan Greene. Nancy Shore worked as a hostess in Old Salem, as Margaret Moss graced the Miss Virginia pageant. As with all freshmen classes, Salem will expect the “best yet” •from these girls. And, as usual, these girls come armed with pins, lavaliers, and pictures to tide them through those long hours of study. It is rumored however that one ;girl has all her classmates beat she is “secretly engaged.” - Medals (Continued from Page 2) the public. (Some of the originals were struck in silver or gold.) Con gress agreed, and since then the Mint has provided the medals for a nominal sum. “Green, green—It’s green they say on the far side of the hill!”—That’s why I’m “Ramblin’, oooh”—Right on over to Salem College! Yes sir! The New Christy Mins trels are coming to Hanes Audi torium, Thursday, September 28 for a concert at 8:15 p.m. Are you ready for a “Really Big Show?” The seven boys and two girls who are the New Christy Minstrels were originated in 1961 and have pat- terened their own contemporary singing style after a company of Pre-Civil War entertainers created by Edwin “Pops” Christy. Under the guidence of George Grief and Sid Garris, to whom Randy Sparks sold his share of the Minstrels for $2,500,000 in 1964, the New Christy Minstrels have become leading in ternational favorites. During their first overseas con cert tour of Europe in early d965, the Minstrels exposed their audi ences in England, Holland, Scan dinavia, Italy, and France to the unfamiliar sounds and rhythms of folk music. Also, Russia has per mitted the State Radio to play their albums, and plans are being made for the Minstrels to make a State Department sponsored tour of the U. S. S. R. The New Christy Minstrels’ ap pearance at the 1965 San Remo Festival capped all that has hap pened to them since their forma tion in 1961. For the first time in the Festival’s history, the Minstrels became one of the few performers ever to be asked to perform two numbers. Not only did their rendi tions of “Se Piangi, Se Ridi (If You Cry, You Laugh)” and “Le Colline Sono in Fiore (The Hills Are Full of Flowers)” win first and second prize respectively, but they also became number one hits throughout Italy within four days. The New Christy Minstrels, sponsored by the Senior Class, will appear in Hanes Auditorium Thursday, September 28. This was the first time American artists had won at the Festival, and that American artists have reached the top of the Italian Hit Parade. In addition to their many per sonal and television performances, their record albums are best sellers throughout the United States. The group’s multi-lingual renditions are in demand in Europe, Asia, and 121 other countries. Figures recently released by Columbia Records show Mr. Snavely Retires From Salem; Looks Forward To Liesurely Life By Jane Horton Salem and E. D. Snavely were inseparable until the fall of 1967; but after 35 years of service to the Salem Book Store, Mr. Snavely has collected precious memories and a long-deserved vacation. On Sep tember 5, Mr. Snavely’s Book Store became the property of Salem Col lege ; the goods are the same, but a certain broad smile and friendly greeting are missing. Many Salemites will be surprised by Mr. Snavely’s book store his tory. At the age of fourteen our favorite manager began his success ful career in a Lynchburg, Virginia, book store; he rose from his ship ping room position to that of buyer in four years. Then he came to Winston-Salem to work at Watkins Book Store in 1928, and Salem Book Store rallied to his talents in 1932. After accepting his post at the Salem Book Store, Mr. Snavely also continued the remarkable re sponsibility of dual buyer for Wat kins and Salem Book Stores for some 20 to 25 years. Thus, Mr. Snavely incorporated many years’ service, smiles, and hard work into the Salem College community. Having assisted the Salem Book Store for fifteen years, Mrs. Fran ces Tilly commented on her work with Mr. Snavely. Her attitude toward her employment was that of a “personal experience.” Mrs. Tilly commented that her former em ployer never took a day off of his regular six-day schedule except for fishing or illness. He and his family even volunteered extra hours at night during the busy Christmas season. Also noted by those who know him well is Mr. Snavely’s re markable memory. More than that, however, Mr. Snavely’s friends know him as a very devoted mem ber of his church. Mr. Snavely began by saying that he could write “three volumes— more than Shakespeare” concern- jing his past 35 years at the Salem Book Store. This long record is indicative of Mr. Snavely’s love for Salem and is in accord with his philosophy about a job. As he stated it, “If you do not love your work, change.” To him Salem girls are and always have been, “hand picked” ; he will miss them and his chats with Salem girls. Among Mr. Snavely’s favorite compliments is an opinion expressed by a Salemite that Mr. Snavely did not have to preach to show his Christian faith. Following Bishop Rondthaler’s pre cedent, Mr. Snavely plans to let the new administration run the Salem Book Store even without the aid of his visitation. “Life must go on,” according to Mr. Snavely, but he welcomes visits from Salem friends to his home on 1092 W. Fourth Street. What are Mr. Snavely’s plans ? A scheduled fishing trip has been postponed until October in order that he might help his son’s book THE CRAFT SHOP Phone 724-2686 Across the Square Decorate your room with paper flowers from The Craft Shop. store at U. N. C.-G. Helping his church community by visiting homes is a service Mr. Snavely anticipates with eagerness. In visitation he feels that he has a “freedom of ex pression” that he did not have when he was younger. A special date for Mr. Snavely is Sunday, September 24, when he will celebrate his 76th birthday. His daughter, Mary Jane Sexton, of Winston-Salem plans a birthday dinner for all the Snavely clan in cluding Mr. Snavely’s two married sons and the seven grandchildren. With fondest regards the Salem College patrons of Mr. Snavely’s establishment say “Thanks!” and “Best Wishes!” to one of their favorite persons. Salem will miss Mr. Snavely, but the order of the day is that a certain happy smile should continue to enjoy life, even away from the Square! that their last six albums reached an aggregate total of five million copies (that doesn’t include singles which surpass that figure).
