Friday, May 12, 1939. THE SALEMITE Page Three, iriCATILIRICS ITIEATUICIES BEAUX AND ARROWS SENIOR Well, senors, I’m sorry but I’ve quite a lot to tell on you this week. We think there is too much “snak ing going on around here . . . Who is that certain person who plans to go picnicking with Agnew when poor Gene is home sick witli only a lily she remembered to send? . . . Glenn pretended she waa going to the mountains with a date but we found out she was only “spoofing” for the Winston-Salem paper tells us she was with a Miss June Bateman. Don’t try to fool us Grififo . . . They tell Us Mae had to go to the Doctor on account of her fever blister. The week-end is gonna be mighty ex pensive, isn’t it Mac? or was it the date Monday night? . . . Tootie has given us some keen competition re cently. Wonder if she’s learned to talk correctly . . . Did you meet Mary Turner’s date Saturday night? . . . But Bruce, when you write Mick by all means tell him we ’re insulted he deserted us the past week-end for the Kentucky thoroughbreds . How old is he, Peg —■ thirty-five or forty? Anyway, we’re speculating as to whether you’ll win the bet . The other night we heard Mae was trying to find a certain P. H..’s»ad- dress in the phone book. We know where she could have found out Diuch more easily . . . Archie came over a little early last week, didn’t he, Skinner? ... We haven’t seen Billy around for a week. What’s the matter, Felicia, can’t he understand the funny way you talk? . . . How Was Roaring Gap Sunday Josie? . . . We’re in favor of Louisa’s keeping her eyes on Jess a little more closely at the dances. We saw several girls including (but maybe it would be too cruel to list them), making eyes . . . Orchids to Bill for being such a charming queen over the week-end. Also to Turner for the unique page ant. It was grand to see the alum nae, especially last year’s, back last Saturday. We’re just thinking about next May Day and wondering if we can bear staying away until then. JUNIOR SOPHOMORE Kelly Anne certainly picks out use ful sounding men to have around: Jim (Gym) for recreation, “Spike” for more serious construction, and “Dish” for — well, what does it sound like to you? . . . There’s a general opinion that summer ro mances are merely passing fancies — but one peep ot “Joe” Kerns and Sam last week-end shatters that old belief. We’ve seen our little Nellie thrilled before, but never like this . . . Katherine King is now ready to publish an “Autobiography of a Eejected Lover.” She has been col lecting material since last summer — and usually in sixteen-page in stallments ... I bet you can’t guess the object of Esther’s beautifications — it’s a TVA project that she’s un dertaking this week-end . . . Too bad 2nd floor offers such convenient windows and such curious dam.sels, isn’t it, Carr? But they were dis- a]>pointed too. Now don’t two-time Harry too much at Carolina this week-end . . . Did you get a load of our beauteous Mildred dragging two men at the dance. What’s the mat ter Hank? Can’t you handle her alone? ... Be on the lookout for an Annapolis uniform the 20th — with Teenie attached. ALUMNAE ALLUSIONS FRESHMAN We wonder which one Stan is real ly coming to see. Whose is he, Emily and Jo? . . . Our Martha Bowman seems to be doing O.K. — Davidson this week-end and with no one else but Bushy . , . From Oak Ridge to Salisbury — What’s happened to Grover, Doris? . . . How does one rate a date from Massachusetts, Miss Bralower? . . . Have you heard Mur iel Jonick’s new song “I’m Sacha, the Passion of the Pascha.” . . . We hear that Marie Fitzgerald’s date last Saturday night was by no means a drip, but by all meansi a drop . . . Are you asking your divine brother to the dance Leila, and may I cut in, Lucy? ... A combination of rats and alarm clocks kept the freshmen up rather late Tuesday night — What fun! ... “If Jenny Linn gets a phone call, break the news gently ” What’s the matter, dear? Weak heart? DAY STUDENT Saw Lib Norfleet with another man last week-end. From the rush he got at the dance, everyone seem ed to think he was pretty cute . Margaret Morrison, who was the cute man you had up last week-end? I hear he’s another Davidsonian . As usual Creson’s Ed was here . Virginia Breakell says she’s so excit ed that she doesn’t know what she’s doing half of the time — an’ no wonder — a trip to England doesn’t happen every day . . . Anne Mew- borne decided the other day that she must be the P. E. of her family. (P. E. means Probable Error, accord ing to Mr. Owens you know) . . . Don’t worry about this week-end, Agnes Lee, we know that Mac won’t care . . . Frances Kluttz is going home this week-end, and there is a rumor going around that sounds like El ia going to be there . . . These long distance telephone calls sure do help a lot don’t they? Especially if it is an invitation to the dances this week-end at Davidson, eh Miss Morrison? . . . Lib Norfleet certain ly must like Junior-Seniors — ’cause here she goes off to one at Carolina this week-end . . . Jane Alice you told us you were going to Camp Hanes this weekend but you didn’t tell us that the Y. M. C. A. of State College were going to be there too • . . We really envy thosei cute Vir ginia girls — the Breakell one this time, she has an invite to^finals at V. P. I. Some way to start the summer gall We may be wrong but Margaret Holbrook seems to be the proni-trot- ter; five' (5) invitations for one week-end . . . Clara Louise Nissen says that the military outlook is quite gloomy at present — another Perfect Romance on the blink? . . . When asked what she did at Jane Kirk's cabin last week, Gerry Baynes replied in that naive way of hers, “We ate.” . , . Louise Moore, Joyce Safrit, (that W. C. Menace), and Jimmy Mitchell are constantly together when Joyce is at home. Xow isn’t that a perfect example of the Eternal Triangle? . . . An toinette Barrow practically expired a few mornings ago when she called her mother to see if she had any mail (this is in accordance with a time-honored custom). She did have a letter — from her church! Oh, the irony of it all . . . Rumor has it that Elinor Trent is to be off to the V. P. I. finals with one Bob Spen ser .. . and hows about that way Elsie Newman does “Three Little Fishes?” . . , Could it be true that Margaret Welfare is reforming all her boy-friends? , . , We hope that Wiley Stanford’s bull-dog doesn’t come between him and June Hire . . When Billie Hanes, came in a few mornings back with her shoes clean ed and her nails polished she was scarcely recognized , . . we under stand from a very reliable source (Gorrell Myers by name), that Gor- rell Myers, since getting out of State College, has changed his ways. He’s no longer a playboy but has settled down to a one and only, Buffy Hat field . . . How ’bout Steve taking Mattie R. to Junior-Senior this week end? Variety is the spice of life we hear . . . Any more gossip would com pletely demoralize the Day Students, so heigh-ho I What have you heard lately about the Salemites who have graduated in the past three years? Won’t you tell us about it, so that we can tell all of Salem plus our outside readers about it too? 1938 Class News: Martha O’Keeffe is spending this year keeping house at home and teaching. Janie McLean (Mrs. W. B. Carter, you know), spends her time now keeping house for Billy and her mother. Cleo, how goes it? Mary McCoIl is at Chapel Hill do ing post-graduate work this quarter. ‘ ‘ Tweak’ ’ Sample is teaching and coaching basketball down in her and McCarthy’s home-town of Fort Pierce; and Cornelia Wolfe does the same two things in Hamlet, N. C. Louise Preas is studying at Co lumbia; and Laura Emily Pitts and Edith Eo.se are in New York too, studying and working. Ginny Carter is living in North Wilkesboro as Mrs. Bill Privett; and have you heard, by the way, that Mildred Troxler, Jo Gibson, Rebecca Brame, Dot Burnette, and Virginia Lee were all in that wedding? Blevins Vogler, Frances Alexander and Mary Louise McClung have just completed the Winston-Salem Junior League provisional course. Blevins, they say, fills her time with frequent trips to everywhere but mostly over to Knoxville. Of course you’ve already seen Dot Hutaff’s beautiful new blue Buick convertible coupe that she drove up to Kirsten Flagstad’s recent concert here and to May Day kst week-end Some stuff, Dot! Cramer Pereival is using her teach er’s certificate down at the Lum- berton High School. Sara Pinkston is doing Red Cross work in Fayetteville, and Margaret Briggs is working in the Guilford County Public Welfare Office. 1937 Class News Lois Berkey is taking a tech nician ’s course at Jefferson in Phila delphia and will Complete her work next March. Carolyn Radcliffe is doing .secretar ial work at State College in Raleigh. Margaret Ro.se recently announced her engagement to Mr. Norton Te- nille of Roanoke, Va. (He holds a position with thes Hotel Roanoke.) Lib Little recently announced her surprise marriage to a Wadesboro man, we hear. Helen Diehl has announced her engagement to Mr. Calvin Barnes of Winston-Salem. (He will graduate from Moravian Theological Seminary in Bethlehem, Pa., in June.) Another Helen — Miss Jone.s, this time — is to be married soon. Her wedding to Mr. John Melvin Thomp. son of Graham, N. C., is scheduled for June. Mary Hart is living at home in Shelfar, \ a., and teaching in the High School there. At Christmas time she went up to Martha Schleg el’s wedding in Nazaraeth, Penna., to Erika’s brother, Werner Marx. And while she was up that way, she and Jane Leibfried and Jo Ritter had a small class reunion of their own. Mary Louise Haywood (Mrs. Arch ie Davis), Cortlandt Preston (Mrs. John Creech), Georgia Goodson, Ed ith Jones (Mrs. Jim Crosby), and Dot Thomas are some others who have recently completed the Junior League provisional course here. 1936 Class News: Jean Robinson is teaching music in her home-town, Lowell, N. C. McArn Best, who has been in New York for the past year and a half, is now back in Goldsboro, working in her brother’s law office. Etta Burt Warren writes from the North Carolina General Assembly, Senate Chamber that she is working in the Legislature as a Committee Clerk to Senator John, W. Umstead. Not long ago she spent a week-end here with Lucy James (Mrs. Prank Willingham) in her darling picture- book apartment at 724 North West Boulevard. * Fan Scales stopped by to visit Salem on her way home from Flor ida. I DARE SAY That no one was more surprised than several day students when the identity of Mount Airy’s much publicized nude rider was made public. It seems that this young man attended Salem’s very select Junior-Senior this year. That Miss Brown and Miss Turlington are really going to have a good time abroad this summer. Everybody thinks they are mighty brave to go across with all the war threats — but then haven’t you heard? The faculty doesn’t pin much faith to the war predictions of Captain Hardee and others. That there’s really no difference between Freshmen and Seniors after all. When the question was brought up in a certain company the T)ther day as to the identity of a Marsupial, Maude Battle said she thought it had something to do with feet, and Pat Barrowt, said she was sure it was some special method of waving hair. We (brighf u^ dis covered that whoever asked the question was a little in the wrong be cause marsupial is the adjective of the noun Marsupialia. That the days of chivalry are back again when a male faculty member will' cook a supper for a group of hungry females. Mr. Campbell did. He cooked the entire supper Tuesday night when Miss Turlington entertained the old and new “X” cabinet. That Miss Lawrence certainly had her mind on higher things when she told Rhea Gaynelle to call a meeting of the freshmen and to tell them not to dance cheek-to-cheek at the forthcoming dance because they were supposed to set a good example for the local mill girls. The freshmen are still slightly puzzled and prone to ask — What mill girls? That a word of appreciation should go to Mary Turner Willis and all participants in May Day for the grand show they put on. At least 0,000 people are still applauding this year’s well-planned and well-exe- cuted May Day and are anticipating next year’s with more than pleasure. MOTHER’S DAY May Day is now only a memory. But May has another day to be cele brated at Salem before the holiday on the 22nd of the month in honor of examinations (the so-called Read ing Day) — Mother’s Day, Sunday 14. Mr. Snavely has set aside a special table for cards to send to mother and for brightly-colored boxes of candy. The girls rush in and call loudly for Mr. Snavely: “Have you got my box of candy ready, Mr. Snavely? Are you sure it won’t melt? Well, you’d better keep it another day before you mail it to Mother.” In South Hall Doris says: “Imagine! I’ve been saving mon ey for the last two weeks and I’ve already picked out a corsage of white roses to give to Mother. Last night she said to me, ‘If you are planning to give me anything for Mother’s Day. I would like to have perfume.’ Wouldn’t you just know I would get the wrong thing. ’ ’ Most of the girls haven’t spoken much about Mother’s Day, but they are, just the same, thinking about it and looking forward to the church services in honor of Mother on Sun day. COMPOSITION CLASS RECITAL Oortlandt Preston graduated Ijn 1935, but we all knew her in Salem’s office before she married John Creech last year; so here’s a, very interest ing bit about her. There’s now a second Cortlandt Preston Creech, for Cokey’s baby girl was born on April 30. ForPei*fecf Printinq lates 1 Dial 9722 PieJmontEnqravinqCo. 4-TS AT MAIN ST.
