READING LISTS
HELPFUL
There are in the library several extremely helpful read
ing lists for college students. In the “Students Guide to Good
Reading,” compiled by the National Council of Teachers of
English, we find listed under various headings (according to
subject matter), books which would be of general interest to
students. In the margin a great many are marked S C, and
this indicates that we have them in our library. Why not make
use of these lists? They are put in the library for our use
and help and it is up to us to profit by using them as guides to
our reading.

WHO’S WHO AT SALEM
“Are you going, Jane?”
“No, I’m too busy.”
“And you, Frances?”
“Not tonight, I have a headache.”
Every year senior music students at §alem practice and
carefully plan for excellent graduating recitals, and you stu
dents find many excuses not to attend them. Why? These re
citals are free and above all inspiring. They are the culmina
tion of four years of hard work and show the music students at
the height of their school careers. You should attend to show
your appreciation as well as -to enjoy splendid performances.
Carry this stick of advice, “Attend Graduating Recitals, with
you, and you w’ill be richly rewarded this spring.
MADELINE SMITH
Madeline, very reticent and mod
est about her past life and plans for
tlio future, finally consented to say
that she was born on March 18, 1915
—which leaves us to guess her age!
She grew up in Kingsport, Tennessee
—with little sisters Helen and laabeL
In High School she was art editor
on the annual, and belonged to lots
of clubs.
Her friends think that her most
outstanding characteristic is her
ability to tell fibs with a perfectly
straight face. Her nickname is
“Pokerface, ” and she can make
people believe anything she says;
even her roommate, the Stee Gee
president, gets taken in.
The History and Psychology Clubs
claimed Madeline as a member dur
ing her Freshman and Sophomore
3'ears. During her Sophomore and
Junior years she was on the hockey
and voley ball teams. This year she
is on the business staff of the “Sale-
mite,” a member of the Student
Council and of the May Day Com
mittee. Her freshman year she room
ed with Emily Blanton, her sopho
more year with Josie Chase, her
junior year alone — and now with
Gertrude Schwalbe.
Preferences: Shows, magazines,
mystery stories and fairy tales on
the radio; loves food, especially
boloney and pork and beans.
Favorite fruit: Peanuts.
Favorite sport: Week-ending in
Burlington.
This year Madeline is taking a
Home Ec. course and she’s really be
coming a swell cook! Yum-yum,
can sl^e fry chicken or can she fry
chickeh f
Her prized possessions are (1) 2
pictures of Charles, and (2) a large
collection of dogs. She prefers China
ones.
Favorite color: “Anything that
looks good on me.”
Madeline furnishes magazines for
the whole school, and at the same
time keeps up with her practice
teaching at Wiley. She thinks prac
tice teaching is excellent for reduc
ing. She’s m.tjoring in History, and
loves it.
(Smith family is requested not to
read the folowing):
Quote Madeline: “My family sent
me over here to get an education,
not to fall in love.”
Loves: Scottiea, pretty handker
chiefs, jewelry, good-looking clothes,
bright colors, horseback riding, and
Mr. Campbell.
She takes Home Ec. and is a swell
cook. Her ambition changes every
day or bo — from trotting (with
Adelaide), off to N. Y. and becoming
a buyer, to being a costume designer
(incidentally, Charlie also designs
—he’s quite an artist. She may have
designs on him — you can’t ever
tell!). She's practice teaching
Home P’c. at North High now.
Collects: Perfumes and more per
fumes.
Favorite possessions: A heart lock
et and a gold link bracelet.
The interview was cut short be
cause she was leaving — going out
with Charlie! Draw your own con
clusions and keep them to yourself.

nice Cumberland; and Gertrude
Schwalbe, Math 7B with Miss Sara

Mary Nelson Anderson is teaching
Home Economics, (7A), with Miss
Lois Atkinson at Calvin Wiley. There
are two students teaching at South
High School — Virginia Garner,
“She doesn’t ever get mad,” says
Marianna Hooks, her roommate. Who
could have a better recommentation
than that, ’specially when it comes
from a roommate f
Sue hails from Goldsboro, where
she was born on May 6, 1915. She
has one sister, Mick, who came to,
Salem for one year when Sue was
a sophomore. She and Mick used to !
play dolls, and Sue loved making |
doll-clothes. She confessed that one
day she put Mick down on the floor,
and cut a doll-dress out by her!
That was the beginning of her sew-1
ing career and it has lasted, even .
though her methods have changed.
Her freshman year at Salem she
was a member of the Home Ec. Club, ^
the History Club, and roomed with '
McArn Best and then Nancy Mc-
Neely. Her sophomore year »he still
roomed with Nancy, was treasurer
of the “Y, ” on the “Salemite, ”
belonged to the Home Ec., Psycholo
gy, and History clubs, was elected
Senior Marshall, and was on .several
class teams. As a junior she roomed
with Marianna Hooks, was still a
member of all sorts of teams, was
on the “Salemite,” Secretary of the
Home Ec. Club, got to be Fire Chief,
and was in the May Court. This year
she’s still rooming with Marianna,
Is on the Student Council, is Business
Manager of the “Salemite,” presi
dent of the Home Ec. Club, and on
the May Day Committee. Busy sort
of person, isn’t she? But for a couple
of years she’s had time for Charlie,
and every now and then she takes
a Trip to Chapel Hill. (Of Chapel
Hill she says “I love it”).
“Dot” or “T”, by either one of
her nicknames you may call her, she
is still the attractive senior and day
student with radiant red hair and
smiling brown eyes whose friendly
manner makes her known and liked
V)y so many students. Dorothy Lash-
mit is an enigmatic person — some
times one sees her dashing off to
the “drug” in the gayest of moods;
again one may see her as she bends
over a math book showing interest
and, perhops, perplexity by her
wrinkled brow. She dances to the
smoothest jazz, but on her piano
she plays Wagner and Beethoven.
The only daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. L. Lashmit, Holly Avenue, she has
always lived and attended school in
Winston-Salem. Even at the age of'
seven her long auburn curls had cap
tured the heart of a very young and
susceptible swain, who bashfully fol
lowed her about and carried her
books. Inside these books, however,
was much to be learned and Dorothy
used her head for other purposes than
flinging about her red curls. She
literally skipped through graded
school and went to high school when
she was barely elevin years old. |
There she took a Latin course, be-!
came a member of the National
Honor Society, and graduated at
fifteen.
“Dot” confesses that she never
grew up until she came to Salem.
(Perhaps it was the auspicious fac
ulty and the complexity of Freshman
math problems that helped to mature
her)
While at Salem she has participa
ted in several campus activities. This
year she writes for “The Salemite,”
is treasurer of tho Math Club, a mem
ber of the German Club, and prac
tice teaches mathematics.
Worries: About her math and her
hectic love affair with Bahnson C.
Drives: An ancient blue Buick,
which, according to “Dot,” has been
on its “last lap” for four years.
Likes: Books and music and peo-
ple.
Knitwit: Flying knitting needles
often seen in “Dot’s” hands. Sweat
ers and suits are the happy results.
(Yarn is always blue or green, both
favorite colors.)
Accomplishment: Is a grand cook.
Foreign dishes are a specialty with
her, but cakes and salads she pre
pares with equal ability.
Only Brother: He is a professor
of architecture at Carnegie Tech. It
was with him and his wife that Doro
thy spent last summer.
Favorite Sports: Swims and plays
tennis.
The Three Musketeers; Lashmit,
Hendrix, and Coons.
Comments: Red head’s furious tem
per is lacking. In “Dot” one finds
instead a generous supply of wit
and charm.
Salem In Past Years
FIVE YEARS AGO:
One Wednesday afternoon in
September, 1930, Louisa Wilson
Bitting dormitory was opened
and several hundred friends of
Salem College were guests at a
tea from 3:30 to 5:30 given by
Mrs. W. N. Reynolds. She gave
the dormitory to Salem as a me
morial to her mother. This build
ing is to 'be used by the senior
students.
In the same month. Professor
Higgins finished remodeling the
Department of Cliemistry at
Salem. Before Christmas (1930),
the Friedburg Passion Play was
presented in Winston-Salem.
In February, 1931, the beloved
Bishop Edward Rondthaler was
called to final rest after a life
of great service and tireless en-
ergy.
Miss Grace Lawrence came to
Salem in February to assume the
post of Dean of Residence, suc
ceeding Miss Lula Stipe.
TWO YEARS AGO;
In the season 1933-34 were the
usual music recitals, hockey
games, speeches at Y. P. M., and
holidays. The Pierrette Players
were constantly breaking into
print with new plans and new
productions. The great sleet came
in Februarj', 1934. This great ice-
storm played havoc with Salem
College.
ONE YEAB AGO:
Soon after the opening of school,
“Robinson Trousseau” was given
by the Senior class and turned out
to be an opera of unusual origi
nality. The North Carolina Sym
phony Orchestra was in town for
some weeks after Christmas and
many Salem girls attended the
concerts.
Gertrude Schwalbe was elected
President of the Student Self-
Government for 1935-36. Miss
Cortlandt Preston was the May
Queen. And, by no means least
of the Salemites, Dr. Rondthaler
was elected to head the alumni
Association of The University of
North Carolina.
