Miss Mary B. Williams Guest
At West Point
It will be of interest to friends
home and abroad to learn that Miss
Mary B. Williams, popular young
debutante from North Carolina, has
been a recent guest at West Point.
Miss Williams was indeed the sen
sation of Hundredth Night. She ar
rived last Saturday morning from
Winston-Salem, N. C., where she is
attending Salem College, being the
youngest member of the School of
Music. Saturday night she delighted
the thousands of cadets and debu
tantes on the dance floor by accom-
paning Ted Lewis and his orchestra.
She sang in a voiee beautifully toned
and with a delightful Southern ac
cent “I’m Lost Without You.” Al
though this was Miss Williams’ first
trip to West Point, she made herself
feel perfectly at home and won a
permanent place in the hearts of all
those cadets who were fortunate
enough to meet her.
Miss Smith Sleeps Through
Holidays
Salem College has again set a
world’s record. She has among her
number the world’s longest sleeper.
(It’s not a pullman car, either!)
Miss Katherine Smith slept through
the Easter holidays and never knew
the difference. When questioned, she
said that she thought things
unusually quiet, but she didn’t think
anything of it. After seven days of
sleep, she should be rested. Her
one regret is that she didn’t get to
wear her Easter corsage.
New Rule for Class
Attendancs
The following bill has been passed
for all Salem students. No student
is required to go to any classes except
those for which she has registered.
This privilege has been longed for
by all old Salem girls, and now that
it has been granted they are c
whelmed with joy. Continue to re
port to registered classes, but go to

Miss Ferguson Bids Her Stu
dents a Tearful Farewell
Ah! me, how history tales do i
prove and mold the character, ah, beg
your pardon; I mean future, of teach
ers. That she would fall was inevit
able, for who, after having spent
years in reading and lecturing about
bold, bad, thrilling, adorable, heart-
throbbing, and alas, breaking Counts,
would not succumb when one crossed
her path? No, dear reader, don’1
blame her or be shocked when yoi:
read that,
“The Count Don Juan and Queer
Isabella are to wed.”
And to think that it all came from
that excursion to the park to skate.
Now it happened that the dear little
girl was rolling along very peaceful
ly, not dreaming of what was
around the tree, but suddenly she
saw a butterfly (and as spring called,
she followed) but the chase was down
a steep hill and poor Isabella fell
down. Her sad plight brought the
knightly protection of a—well, I’ll
just have to tell you—a count. He
had been standing behind a big yew
tree. He came up and, taking her
by the litle finger, helped her to
arise. Then he kissed her small soft
hand and said, “Beg your pardon.
Madam.”
“Not at all, dear Count,” said our
own undisguisable, timid Miss Fer
guson. Then began the chain of
romance that has not as yet been
broken. Moral: “Let’s all be history
teachers.”
SCHOLARS DRAGGED
FROM BEDS AT
MIDNIGHT
Salem students were greatly ex
cited last night when they wer
forced from their comfortable beds
and pushed, pulled, or dragged
down the long stairway to line up on
back campus and give, a sleepy
“present” to the roll call. What was
it all about ? There wasn’t even a real
fire to pay for tlie effort which was
necessary to crawl out of bed and
mingle with a crowd of grouchy girls.
But wait a minute ! The co-opera
tive spirit in which the fire drill was
received was rewarded. The girls
marched into the campus living room
where they were served punch and
angel’s food cake by Miss Lawrence
and Miss Riggan. They are calling
for more fire drills.
