JUST CHATTER
It may be her red hair or just her
fatal charm — but whatever “it”
Was, Agnes Lee Carmichael had four
Oak Ridge cadets paying her homage
last Saturday. ,
We couldn’t find out who came to
see Front Huggins last Sunday, but
judging from her smile, they must
tave been pretty swell.
Catty trucked over to gaze at
Kent/, last Sunday and Prog Sisk
Was sporting a mighty ritzy pin after
seeing Bruce.
And speaking of letters — Betty
Sanford was the happy receiver of
a Special Delivery Air Mail last
Monday — a special is news, but
■when it comes to air mail — well.
Kelly Ann Smith and Peggy Jones
Were sporting dates over the week
end. How ’bout them, huh? All
these freshmen seem to be cute girls
— more power to them.
Who does Ella Joyner Brame write
every night? Yea — Charley! ■
Who is that Florida Fly who is
■buzzing around Culis’ heart? We
hear he’s a dream in a uniform.
What “Branch” has Bonnie’s
heart been hung on? It’s a Citadel
product, if anyone would care to
know.
Imagine Virginia Bruce’s surprise
W’hen she asked for permission to go
Out on a date, and got the following
answer; “My, my, these Winston-
Salem boys certainly are fickle!”
TIME ON YOUR HANDS

STILL in love.
Say, do you feel often that you
have time to spare? If so, here are
a few suggestions that you might
like to take advantage of. If you’re
interested in the Y. W. O. A., why
not tell the president that you’d like
to join and help in furthering the
work? And what about athletics?
Tennis is something that every
young girl should learn to play. If
you already play, how about trying
out our good courts? If you don’t
play, tliere are several girls who
would gladly teach you. Just
speak to “Miss At” about it. Then
there will soon be golf offered for
those who are interested. It’s real
ly a great sport! Before long hockey
will be in full swing. I know you
don’t want to miss hockey practices.
Then how about hiking or horseback
riding? They seem to be very popu
lar among college girls everywhere.
If you’ve not athletic, then why not
get interested in one of the clubs
at Salem — such as the Math Club,
French Club, Latin Club, etc. They
always have fun, giving picnics and
having all sorts of parties. Last year
the Latin Club even went on a house-
party to Eoaring Gap. You’ll really
be missing something if you don’t
join one or more of the clubs which
interest you (Of course, you have to
make a certain grade to enter, but
that wan’t take but six weeks or
more of work — and I promise —
you will be well rewarded). If these
outside activities don’t suit youy
tlien scout around and find one that
does because I certainly haven’t
named all of them. We would hate
for time to hang heavy on anyone’s
hands at Salem.

Secretly, we think there is some
thing interesting in Anne Mill’s past.
She goes in for simple jewelry.
Not “Cross” any more, are you,

If you know a man named George,
'ion’t show him to Tootie Powell,
that is, if you still want him. She’s
death on ’em.
-A.re you going to the next game at
l^uke, Grier? C’mon be Frankie with
Us. We ’re pulling for you. You
know we might need a good orches
tra tip here some time.

There was a Myers-Thomas re

that there was only one member from
each family present.

Miss Fearing’s overseer called her
*>ut of the Library the other night
to report that the calf had not yet
Arrived. Imporant business to call

you think.

Annette McNeely will be only too
Slad to give new students advice on
how to look your best and the proper
etiquette to use when being the belle

’Uean.
Just a few pointers, girls, so that
you’ll be sure you’re I. R. S.-ing all
the time.
Skirts are short this year —
1314 or 14 inches from the floor,
but, if your hips are big, better
wear them 12i^ or 13.
Now, I’m sure you’ve heard that
any color is tops so long as it’s
black.
Everything is going up this year
■—hats lilavie peaks, ishoes are
built high, and prices are going
up, too, so watch your budget.
Hon’t worry ’cause you can have
onlj' one dinner dress. Just buy
one with a jacket, and you Iiave
a. whole wardrobe.
Some smart sales clerk will
doubtless tell you that you need
dresses to wear to class (she’s
probably trying to sell you a
dress), but don’t be fooled.
Sweaters and skirts are still
“musts” for everyday.
Yet, you do get tired of wearing
the same old thing. How about
a wool dress witli a small white
pique collar?
Remember that even if your
hands are soft and white, gloves
look much better when worn
rather than carried.
If you’re just a little shakey
about what to wear, read a good
fashion magazine, and, of course,
you can always keep your eyes
open and watch things other peo
ple wear. By ‘ ‘ other people ’ ’ we
mean Salemites, you know.
A squirrel looked at a freshman;
Then his mother’s gaze did meet:
“Yes, darling,” said his mother.
But that’s not the kind we eat.”
It doesn’t seem necessary to intro
duce as well known and popular a
girl on the campus as Sarah, even to
you new girls, for you have probably
found out that she was one of the
seniors who worked hard this year
to make your first impression of
Salem a happy one. Upper classmen
are already familiar with her wavy
tow-head, her sparkling blue eyes,
and her beautiful, clear skin. Sarah’s
friends appreciate her cheery smile
and exceptionally slow drawl.
When Tasked Sarah what she liked
most, her answer was typical; “At
this point I’d like to sleep a while,
but that isn’t important. I suppose
eating is my favorite hobby, but you
can look at me and tell that! ” When
questioned as to particular food pref
erences, she sighed, “Why, the very
word “food” itself! I can think
of nothing better than Angel cake —
right now. At present, those delici
ous doughnuts across the street are
about to drive me insane. ’ ’
“I tell you what I like,” she add
ed, “and that’s mail, and I haven’t
had any for six weeks.” (Isn’t there
a particular letter you’re looking
for, Sarah?) In the male line, the
lady prefers blonds. She values
highly sincerity in everyone.
“I tell you (favorite expression)”
what I really do like, to get down to
business,” Sarah graciously offered.
“I like to read. I like to mess
around with a piano, but never did
anything with it. I like to ride, but
wha girl doesn’t? My favorite color
is blue —• I run it in the ground. I
like the movies, and I adore the
Civic Music Concerts. ’ ’
Sarah seems to think every sum
mer is the best. During this past
summer, she spent ten days at Blue
Ridge, and vacationed also at Myrtle
Beach and at Virginia Beach. She
says that she had a “fine time writ
ing letters.” ^lost of all, perhaps,
she has enjoyed being back at Salem
with all the grand girls. “ It’s the
cutest bunch of girls I’ve ever
seen,” she said in reference to the
freshmen, “Not only cute, but
fine. ’ ’
“My jjresent worrj^,” she said,
‘ ‘ is the Y. W. C. A., but I enjoy the
work.” And you have proved your
self cai>able as president already,
Sarah. We appreciate your efforts.
Sarah was born in Plymouth, N. C.
on December 2(i, 1918. She has lived
in Smithfield and in Wilson, and has
lived in Fayetteville for the past
twelve year. Sarah is a member of
the German Club, a member of the
Psychology Club, was a member of
tlie freshAan commission her first
year at Salem, was a member of the
“Y” cabinet last year, and says
that the happiest moment of her life
was when she was asked to join the
Scorpions. She is majoring in Eng
lish and minoring in Economics.
CHATTER AND
PATTER
Now that Blount has passed the
bar, he and Martha can begin talk
ing business. I think they began
last week-end when Blount came up
to see her. Anyway, ho stayed long
enough for them to talk about some
thing serious.
Is Frances Alexander “forsaking
all others” to go back to her old
flame of high school days?
Cornelia didn’t see John in church
Sunday, but that’s because she was
sitting on the wrong side of the
balcony.
Ask Peggy Brawley what a full
moon and a telephone call, all at
once, does to one’s nervous system.
Just ask her, I wouldn’t dare. Be
sides, she’s already told me.
Well, Howard finally came thro
ugh, an asked Frances Cole for that
date. Do we have to go through all
that again?
Profustest apologies and etcetara
to Virginia Lee for all the cracks
about the Bahnsons. She went to
the game in Greensboro last week
end with Tommy Wilson.
Meredith ought to be ashamed of
herself for doing things to George’s
eyes. Now the poor soul has to wear
glasses.
Ginny Carter has been expecting a
long distance phone call for two
nite.s, and if we have to go through
all that again tonite, we ’11 all go
hog wild.
We hear that Santa Claus is com
ing to Kingsport this year in an
airplane. It’s a long time to wait,
Helen, but patience will be rewarded.
Will that certain boy be able to
find Peggy Brawley now that she’s
moved into the dormitory?
Billy’s writing Janie on some new
stationery. It’s now “Carter and
Carter,” Attorneys-at-Law. Doesn’t
that thrill you, Cleo?
Wonder why Pauline wanted to
wait until seven o’clock the other
night before going to the show with
‘ ‘ us girls. ’ ’
certainly have a good beginning
(meaning that Arnold was among
the male visitors Friday night.)
Haven’t forgotten that I asked
you last week who was tops — John
ny of the Big Apple or Bill of the
Citadel, but. Tweak, we are just dy
ing to know who holds sway over
our fair editors heart. Be a good
girl and satisfy our curiosity.
To a man who would make the
most of his abilities and opportun
ities, every day of his life is a school
day.
A Mutt, a Moon, a Martha, leads
to romance in any language. Maybe
^lartha McNair will tell you that a
•■unible-seat helps—but definitely.
Porrest was a preacher necessary?
Ore power to you.
Best wishes, is all right for some
body, but how do you feel since you
have to send ’em to Georgia Mac,
and some other woman. Dot Wyatt.
We suggest that “The Miller’s
Daughter Mary Anne” be changed
to “The Miller’s Son Bill,” as a
favor to Lizzie Trotman.
Peggy Jones may seem young and
innocent, but, even so, don’t rob
the cradle, Peggy.

Miss Lawrence, and she really docs
not mind if we call her “Lany”
behind her back, was born in Salis
bury and has always liad her perman
ent home there. She went to the
Salisbury school for girls and upon
being graduated, went immediately,
as teacher and student, to tho Wom
an’s College of North Carolina. Per
haps we should explain here that
Miss Lawrence taught at W. C. at
the same time when she was a stu
dent. Columbia University seems to
have an affinity for Salem deans,
at any rate Miss Lawrence was a
student at Columbia after she left
Greensboro. And as most of you
know she was Dean of Women at
Meredith College for four years be
fore coming to Salem.
To those of you at Salem who are
“new girls,” we will tell you that
Miss Lawrence is usually seen in dis-
tinguished but conservative clothes
—• and blue usually predominates her
color schemes. I believe that Miss
Lawrence has had some where a bit
of Greek ancestry, because she, like
they, believes always in moderation.
She even likes moderation in habit
forming, for she says herself that
she doesn’t like “too mucli rigid
ity of habit.” She gives this as her
reason for changing her works so
much. We find that although con
servative, JJiss Lawrence does very
much dislike anything prosaic. This
is more than evident when we dis
cover that she is an ardent reader of
Edgar Allen Poe and, indeed, of all
good mystery stories, or stories
which deal with the unusual in any
form. Two other“genie” which ap
peal to her are biographies and
poetry. She also likes the mov'ies.
Like all true southerners, our dig
nified dean likes fried chicken —
and waffles! But she’s been keeping
something from us — more than any
thing else, she actually dotes on huge
dill pickles — not little ones but
those big ones that are usually found
in enormous jars. Miss Lawrence
says she doesn’t preten)d to like
French pastries, lint thinks that the
doughnuts across the street are un
equalled.
Miss Lawrence says that she does
not have enough musical education
to really appreciate the classic com
positions; however, she does like
music of the semi-classic type. It is
typical for !icr to say that she does
not like jazz a bit — because “1
can’t tell one tune from another!”
Although she does like a good sym
phony orchestra liest, there are her
favorite instruments such as the
t:arp, organ, and violin respectively.
Ijike most ol' us. Miss Lawrence
too has a hobby. She says that at
the moment, however, it is just an
idea. At any rate, that idea or
hobby !s a cabin called “Tuck-a-way
!.(i(l':y” near Swananoa. Then too,
she’s going to take a year off some
time and spend it in the British Isles.
Perhaps tho most outstanding
thing about Miss Lawrence is that
jhe reads a college girl’s mind like a
book. Quite often she can say
“yes” or “no” before you even fin
ish a question — and she’s practical
ly infallible when its a question of
what you ought to do, or what’s
good for you.
With all the dignity of a duchess,
she can be as funny as a crutch. It
is only natural that all Salemites
love her!
