THE SALEMITE Friday, October 14, 1938. iiPCiPTjr ROBIN HOOD’S DOUBLE Have you hoard or read anything about archery f If you have you know that there is the right way and tlie wrong way of archery. How’ard Hill says: “To shoot bow and arrow correctly, hold bow loosely in left hand. With the three first fingers of right hand holding string at the first joints, place arrow so that it rests on string between first and second fingers. Standing at right angles to target, extend left arm straight but not rigid. Have right elbow and forearm on same level. With right arm draw^ the string back until ends of fingers on the string touch the cliin near corner of the mouth. When the arrow is fully drawn use steel print as sight, aim and release string.” Howard Hill is a man with a great deal of archery experience. He rei>lied when asked what experience he had in archery that he had shot a 1,400 lb. buffalo with a bow' as well as bear, deer, moose, eagles and sharks, that he could kill fish in twelve feet of water with an arrow, and that hitting ducks on the wing seemed a small accomplishment to him. ft is this man who did the trick shooting and the killing' of persons by arrows in the movie “Eobin. Hood.” In many of the shots Hill’s skill was tested. P’or an example; Fn a close up he had to shoot a steel mace from the hand of Basil Eath- bone. This scene he did successfully and many others similar. Hill says that he would do his very skillful archery over again, for there is no real danger as long as every body tends to his knitting. fall tennis season CLOSES .losephine Hutchison, tennis man ager, and Sallie Emerson, assistant team manager, completed the upper classmen doubles tournament by winning a decisive victory in a 0-2, (i-0 match from Sue Forrest and Catherine Harrell last Monday after noon.

The fall tennis season will end this week-end when the freshmen will complete their singles tourna ment. The tennis manager thanks the freshmen for the interest and en thusiasm that has been shown thro ughout the tournament, and also pre dicts that .Salem will see some ex cellent tennis if the freshmen con tinue as they have begun. NOTES ON HORSEBACK Riding, a favorite sport of the fall season, began last week. The riding class, composed of approximately twelve girls, rides on Tuesday and Thursday of each week. Miss At, accompanies the girls on the rides at Anderson’s Riding Academy. One of the interesting features of the riding season is the opportunity giv en the girls to take moonlight and breakfast rides. Rmily Abbot, a freshman from Charleston, W. Va., says, “under Miss Atkinson’s instruction, I be lieve that my riding will improve this fall. Our rides are a lot of fun and I’m particularly looking forward to the midnight and breakfa.st rides. ’ ’ Another freshman, ,lo Ann Brill, who has been riding for seveaal years hopes to increase her knowledge un der Miss At’s exx)ert guidance. “Al- tliough 11 have ridden for several years, there is still a great deal to leani, and T feel that 1 shall do that this year.” These two girls are typical of the girls who ride at Salem — optimis- tic, eager to work and to learn, will ing to co-oi>erate. A successful sea son will result, if the girls do not lose heir enthusiastic interest. TWINKLE, TWINKLE.. AS RENDERED BY A BOSTON GIRL Coruscate, coruscate, diminutive stellar orb! How inexplicable to me seems the stupendous problems of thy existence elevated to such an immeasurable distance in the illimit able depths of space, apparently in a perpendicular direction from the terragneous planet we occupy re sembling in the dazzling and unap proachable effulgMice a crystallized carbon gem of unsurpassing bril liancy and impenetrability; glitter ing in those teher.eal valuts whose boundless immensity we endeavor to bring within the compass of the hu man intellectual group by the use of the concrete word firmament. I had a little tpa party This afternoon at three. 'Twas very small. Three guests in all, .Just I, Myself and Me. Myself ate all the sandwiches While I drank up the tea. 'Twas also I who ate the pie And passed the cake to me.

LATEST HITS On Records and Sheet Music DIXIE MUSIC STORE Get your friend a birth day cake just like she would get at home at Dewey’s Bakery 216 W. 4th Street DIAL 2-2645 AT LUNCHEON (Continued From Page Three) girls her theory of the origin of roy alty — that because one family sur vived all })erils and the line remain ed in existence for generation after generation, primitive man felt that the family had been specially marked by some higher power for some great destiny. They were in awe of the family and set them apart from the rest of the people. Thus, the respect for royal blood, for a family which has that spark, that has the -will to keep its line in existence, has come down to us. We should not be over awed by royalty and should not con sider them as exalted people. They are as human as we. Our laundress is as important as a king — she has joys and sorrows just as he. Still, she concluded, proving that for her, in spite of her theories, royalty has a romantic fascination, she can’t help but ffeel i sudden excitement when, sitting in a Parisian restaurant, some one points out a waiter, p'enniless and dejected and whispers,“ He is a Hapsburg.” All of the books whicli she has written deal with royal fam ilies.
