ALUMNAE NEWS,
CLASS OF '34
What They Do For a
Living
To use a well-thumbed phrase, the
gone but not forgotten class of 1934
sends a greeting and a bit of news
as to its activities and accomplish
ments. Mary Absher is at home
on the Aberdeen Proving Grounds,
Maryland. Kathleen Adkins is teach
ing history and English at Pine Hall,
N. C. Speaking of teachers, Salem
has well supplied the state with them.
Virginia Allen teaches in Winston-
Salem in South Junior High, and
Margaret Ashburn, Eleanor Cain,
Thelma Crews, Beth Norman, Martha
Owen, Emma Kapp all teach in the
schools of this city. South Hall
misses the face of Mary Ollie Biles,
last year’s Vice-President of Student
Government; she holds forth in the
grammar grades at Wallburg. Susan
Calder, who, if you remember, and
in case you don’t was Editor of
the Salemite last year, is teaching
at Gastonia. Mary Canada instructs
the pupils of Griffith School as does
Dorabelle Graves in Chadburn, N. C.
The fair May Queen of last year,
Mildred Hanes, dazzles the third
grade students in Pine Hall. Sarah
Horton is teaching in Monroe, and
Sara Lindsay in Lilesville. In the
fourth grade at St. Paul’s, N. 0.,
Ruth McLeod may be found—teach
ing, of course. To find Lula Mae
Motsinger look in Oakhill. Grace
Pollock is teaching public school
music at Kinston and playing the
role of assistant orchestra director
Mary Sample is teaching the third
grade in Fort Pierce, Florida, and
Ann Shuford grows into a bespec
tacled school-marm at Conover. Betty
Stough instructs young hopefuls in
the rudiments of Home Economics at

We want some sincere Freshmen
who are interested in Y. W. C. A.

to help the new girls to adjust them
selves to college, to help them make
good use of their leisure time, to
help them find hobbies. Then for the
‘Y” the Freshman Commission is
to live and to help others to live
creatively for God, to have equal
division of work in college activities,
to share the work with all so that
everybody may have part in the
working of the “Y. ”
Thus the following is presented

CALENDAR OF
WEEK’S EVENTS
Two blue curtained French doors
invite you inside. They open into the
room on the second floor just above
the Campus Living Room of Alice
Clewell Building. Can you feature
desks not indicating studying? These
decidedly do not. They’re just there.
See, there are intereting books on
them. Look them over. They’re
for all of you. The “Y” Room
has found itself the lodging room of
a piano. Lovely! Then, after all,
the Cabinet Room is homelike. It’s
more like the study at home. You see
a life-size rug covers the floor, and
there are pictures on the walls. But
staring you in the face is the fire
place, which forms sort of a signal
of home and a sofa invites your
full length. Accept the invitation
sometime.
But far more important than the
furnishings are the two people who
stay in the “Y” Room. Mrs. O’Neil
and Martha Binder. They’re both
just as sincere and kind as their po
sitions imply. They’re there to help
you, to chat with you; they really
want to.
Come to see the “Y” room—
you’ll love it. It is for everybody
to enjoy.

Plans Made For Coming
Year
It is the duty and privilege of the
following list of girls to work with
the “y” Cabinet and in so doing to
become more closely allied with this
organization and to participate more
fully in its activities. Through this
commission arrangement by which
not a few but many girls are drawn
directly into the work, the “Y” is
trying to accomplish three of its
purposes: namely, those of helping
others live more creatively for Christ,
of effecting an equal division of work
in the college activities, and of shar
ing its work with all. So to help the
“Y” achieve these purposes may
those girls who have been selected
to do this work, prove worthy of
their tasks and obligations by giving
their whole-hearted support and in
terest.

On Thursday night at 9 o’clock,
fat people and thin people could be
seen trooping over to Memorial Hall
to find out how Fat King Melon
became thin, and Skinny Princess
Caraway became fat. It seems that
King Melon and Princess Caraway
were betrothed to each other, and
since they had not seen one another
for ten years. Princess Caraway de
cided that she must become fat in
order to please her betrothed, while
King Melon decided he’d better lose
some weight in order to make a good
impression on the princess. At the
advice of Fairy Mumbo, who warned
them individually that they were
victims of a horrible disease named
Cotopasia, King Melon and Princess
Caraway decided to effect their
changes in weight by drinking hot
water, and by hiking afoot to each
other’s kingdoms.
As they hiked from the opposite
directions, they met, disguised as
seamstress and blacksmith, and fell
in love with each other. They parted
with sad farewells, each told the
other that alas, they were already be
trothed. King Melon became thinner
as a result of his exertions, so when
he met Princess Caraway and found
out how fat she had become, he was
quite disgusted and begged to break
the troth. The princess showed him
a little token that he had given her
as a parting gift when they were dis
guised as seamstress and blacksmith,
.'ind she removed her several large
pillows from her bosom which
had given King Melon a false im
pression of her adiposity.
The Freshmen proved their ability
and willingness to co-operate by their
excellent performance. Life and vi
tality was given the entire play by
Cramer Percival, as King Melon.
Cramer completely won her audience
by her natural adaption to the char
acter.
Nancy Schallert, as the stately
Princess Caraway, proved that her
reputation as a talented actress was
well founded. Anne Perkin’s the
King’s mother, was true to her char
acter. Her role required acting and
she gave it. The Highwayman,
Dorothy Hutoff and the Old Lady,
Elizabeth Moore, gave unusually
good performances.
The play was directed by “Bush-
ie” McLean and Louise Preas. Lou
ise proved her leadership and en
thusiasm by inspiring each character
to give her best performance.
OUR NEW BOOKS
MRS. PATTERSON
WRITES ON MEMORIES
Books Remind Her of
Places Visited
Sometimes I wonder if we take
time to really appreciate the many
new books which have been added
to our library during the summer.
While we were taking sunbaths on
the beach or were horseback riding
through the mountains, at least three
people were working hard to get the
books in order so that we might use
them the first day we returned to
school. The changes that have taken
place in our library are not the re
sult of one or two day’s work —
they represent almost a whole sum
mer ’s work. There was a great deal
of planning done in order that every
bit of the space could be utilized
and yet not crowd things.
A most interesting spot in the li
brary is the recent addition book
case. Here we may find books just
recently off the press. No matter
what our taste in books may me, we
may be sure to find some book which
will satisfy it. There are books of
a historical nature: “The Queen and
Mr. Gladstone,” “A Princess in
Exile,” Raleigh and His World,”
books of and about poetry: “An An
thology of Pure Poetry,” “Green
stone Poems,” scientific books,
economics books, and well, the next
time you are in the library stop at
that book case and see for yourself
what a world of interesting books
is at your command.
Those of us who have heard Mr«.
Lindsay Patterson speak will agree
that what she says alwajts bean re
peating, and so, I feel no hesitation
in repeating, for the benefit of thoae
lucky gad-abouts who were away for
the week-end, her article which ap
peared in the October 7th edition of
the Winston-Salem Jouinal and 8«a-
tlneL
Mrs. Patterson has been reading
Grave’s best seller I. Claudius, and
as the paper puts it, she was “car
ried away on a tidal wave of memo
ries” by it. She has travelled *o
much and so extensively that the
places mentioned in this paeudo-auto-
biography of the great Roman emp
eror could not fail to call up before
her many loved pictures and memo
ries.
With regard to memories, Mr*.
Patterson recalls the story of Nie
buhr, the great traveller, who,
“when old and blind, was asked how
he could be so cheerful and his an
swer was, ‘My memories make me so;
I have seen so much that was beau
tiful and interesting that 1 am. kept
busy remembering it, and so have no
time for grieving!’ ”
And so, Claudius’ accounts of the
Balkan Wars have brought back to
Mrs. Patterson’s mind her experi
ences during the four months which
she spent in the Balkan country,
working among the refugees; the
poignant memories of the rebuilding
of the war’s destruction, the beau
tiful memories of the Danube, which
she calls the most majestic of rivers.
Even the amusing memory of the
singing Memnon of Egypt was called

8:30 ITEMS
DAY BY DAY
Tuesday:
Cramer Percival invited the en
tire college to the Freshman stunt
which will be held Thursday night.
Margaret McLean announced the
final budget day, Thursday, October
3rd; she said no pictures would be
taken, for the annual, of those who
had not paid their budget.
Mr. McEwen spoke to us on “The
Campaign in Cleaning up the Vov-
ies.” The Motion Picture Council
has been requested to evaluate pic
tures and their social values. Do
you shop for your movies or is it
pot luck? The qualities of a good
movie shopper should be: Know
where to go to get what you want—
watch the local newspapers, study
intelligently the reviews in news
papers and other publications; know
values when you see them; learn to
appreciate good movies when you
see them. Shop for your movies and
reap the enjoyment due you!
Wednesday:
Tick Fraley and Lou Freeman read
the summons to Sophomore Court
at 6:45 P. M. in Alice Clewell. Bev-
erend G. Bay Jordan, pastor of Cen
tenary CJhurch, a minister, traveler
and student, was the speaker in
chapel today. Dr. Bondthaler asked
him to speak on his recent tour in
Europe. Bev. Jordan said his pur
pose was not to give the general
ities of a traveler but to suggest
some inescapable impressions he re
ceived abroad. First, how slowly
we learn. He commended Musaoliai
and his work. This dictator has trans
formed Naples and other cities at
some American cities need to be,
but in spite of improvements Italy is
still an example of how slowly we
learn. All the countries are preparing
for war in spite of the Versailles
treaty; we’re tired of war and yet
now we are preparing for another.
Dr. Jordan said there are seme
things we ought to pay attention
to and learn; whether we are going
to have a democracy genuine or a dic
tatorship? We must chose one of
