THE SALEMITE
Pane Five.

WANTED TO
LOUIS UNTERMEYER
TO VISIT SALEM
Now that you are in college It is
time for you to admit to yourself
that you have gone this far in life
without doing anything about your
suppressed desires and ambitions.
There is no use to deny the fact that
you have always wanted to be a toe-
dancer or a torch singer or a foreign
diplomat, because, at some time or
other, we all have a wild desire to
do or be something different and un
usual. I interviewed quite a few
Juniors and Seniors and made them
really “tell all.” I had to put some
of them through the third degree, but
the results were so astonishing that I
thought you might be interested in
them.
You would be surprised a the num
ber of girls who want to be M. D.’s
or nurses. Peggy Bowen admitted
that she has always wanted to be a
doctor, but that .she would be sat
isfied now to marry one. Tootie
Powell has a suppressed desire to be.
come a trained nurse and be able to
feed medicine to other people, but
since that is impossible, she would
like to acquire some worthy gent to
marry up with (Room-mate ^s with
the game idea), and, being doubtful
about that too. She plans to be con
tented with being an old maid school
teacher. And from what Frances
Turnage says, Tootie won’t be alone,
because Turnage says if she can’t
find a wealthy “to be,” she’ll settle
down and be happy teaching too.
This school teaching business must
have its charms because Kate Pratt
said that besides wanting to play a
piano like Eddie Duchin, be a nurse,
and be able to harmonize on any
tune, she really would like to teach
school, but not for too long, of
course.
Dot Hutaff’s greatest suppressed
desire is to do nothing (what’s so
suppressed about that, Dott) but
next to doing nothing, she had rather
run a model school in which the only
rule would be — no singing in the
dining room!
Elevens Vogler wants to live in a
colonial mansion (I’m with you on
that, too), breed horses, and read
poetry. Peggy Rogers could help
with the horses since riding horse
back all she wants to, is her first de
sire. She also wants to be a medical
missionary, and eat enough water
melon for once in her life.
If Jo Gribbin had her choice, she
would listen to Kay Kayser indef
initely, and eat chocolate cake and
hot fudge sundaes at the same time.
Mary Thomas would probably join
her, since more than anything else,
she’would like to cat as much as she
wanted and not have to worry about
getting fat.
Martha O ’Keefe admitted that her
greatest ambition is to travel, pre
ferably with a husband, but that her
suppressed desire is to always have a
snappy come-back for Dorothy Hu-
taff’s boring jokes. I forgot to men
tion that Jo Gribbin also wanted to
have eyelashes like Dot’s, and that
Dot wanted dimples like Jo’s. How’s
that for true lovet
Lelia Williams cl/aims that she
never wants to look another book
in the face, and since her opinion of
men is as low as the basement of a
dog-house, she would like to start a
drive to make all men crawl like
snakes. Nice girl, this Lelia.
If you ever see Cornelia Wolfe
lurking around the book-store, you
may be sure that she is just waiting
for a chance to “squeeze” some of
the little glass vases in there. Luck
ily Mr. Snavely has the same desire,
so before school is over he and Corny
are each going to select a fat little
vase with a thin neck and smash them
to pieces. She can’t wait! (Hope
she never marries a glass blower).
Millie Troxler has finally admitted
that her ambition is to marry the one
and only Ford dealer in North Caro-
- — iTx lisr 6stiin3itioii Sriid to
live in Alamance County, Eoute 2.
Isn’t that astonishing girls!
Virginia Lee wants to drive blue
Buicks and ride horseback like a
genuine Westerner. Mary Turner
Willis wants to live on a gardenia
farm and sing in Hal Kemp’s orches
tra. Miss Lawrece would like for
Sundays at Salem to be like Sundays
in Heaven. And so on indefinitely.
Perhaps some of these people men
tioned will succeed in getting what
they want or maybe their desires will
go on being guppressd, but no matter
— it was fun planning.

The Life. ’ ’ Both of these books
have been recently added to the Li
brary.
Mr. XJntermeyer is well-remember
ed by the old students from his visit
and lecture last year. Most of them
will agree that he is one of the best
lecturers they have ever heard.
Therefore, hearing him read his
own poems will be doubly interest
ing and delightful. Last year he
appeared more as the famous critic;
this year it will be as the famous
poet. All students and faculty are
urged to attend.
HEAR YE, WRITERS
The Senior Class is preparing a
magazine to which Salem College and
Academy students may contribute.
You girls are invited to find your
dusty “A” papers and shine them
for publication or to catch a new
idea, dress it up and give it to
Margaret Briggs or Florence Joyner
by March the twenty-fifth. Short
stories, poems, biographies, dialogues,
essays, and jokeg are acceptable.
Don’t forget, the prize for the best
contribution is five dollars.
College papers are great insjtitutions;
The college gets all of the fame,
The printers get all of the money.
And the staff get all of the
blame.

Two colored men were up before
the judge in police court for speeding
in their ramshackle auto.
“Have you a lawyer?” asked the
judge.
“Now, suh,” replied the spokes
man. “We has decided to tell de
troof! ’ ’
Those who speak volumes usually
end up on the shelf.
