The Golden Boy went to school at Columbia University for two years, but he has never studied dramatics — he always thought he wanted to be a writer. (He has never really done any writing.) His brother is now in the Teachers’ College at Co lumbia. Eric has .been on tour with thea ter companys twice before, and he says that the only difference between traveling plays and New York plays is that th itinerary actors live a more inconvenienced, uncomfortable life. We could understand that when Mrs. Olver, his manager’s interesting wife, told us that they are to play one night in each city for twenty- two weeks. They started last Wed nesday and played in Bichmond, Charlottesville, and Eoanoke. To night they are in Greensboro. They (the 17 or 18 in the caste) travel by train, and will be on the west coast by November 17. On Eric’s two other experiences with play touis, the companies played for two weeks in each town. Wo invited Mr. liiu- den to visit Winston-Salem to see the Easter service. He accepted and told us that the most colorful Easter pageant he has ever before .seen was in Lisbon — banners, incense, can dles — but we and he still think he will like our Moravian one too. His tour will be finished in March, and he is to drive back through Winston to spend a week in Farmington (outside Charlottesville). See you again then, Golden Hoy? In case you werb too absorbed in the plot and Eric to notice, we’ll comment on a few details of the Clifford Odets production last night. All violin and fighting scenes were off-stage. There were four changes of setting — those quick changes are accomplished by the use of movable platforms, of which this play has three. The cheese cake that Eric has to eat each night is really pound cake, and “that stuff is awful dry and uninteresting.” Bob Leonard, who plays the part of I’apa Bonst- parte, played that same part with Eric in the London production; the slap-happy fighter of last night was with him in London too. How did you like the sad ending? The movie version had been doctored to please the audience, but undoubt edly the double-death in the wreck was more logical and convincing. We liked Eric Linden. We en joyed our interview with him. He was an unusually gracious host and a surprisingly interesting conversa tionalist. He thought up the an swers before we could even think up the questions. Not once did we feel that he was “holding out” on us; he seemed to “tell all.” Nor did ho seem the least bored or im patient with our blunt questions and inexperienced method of “find ing out” about him. He’s a swell guy, and we wish him all luck on his long tour this winter. BEAUX AND ARROWS S£NIOB There’s rushing business at the beauty shoppes — must is those sen iors getting frizzed up for their blind dates for Senior Dinner . . . Louise, why didn’t you and Jack take that baby for a buggy-ride Sun- day afternoon? . . . Louisa, looks like you’d bo used to Charlottesville by now ’stead of letting it throw you in the Inflr- •y . . . My, niy, Miss Watson, not attending the Senior Swing; Erwin w:is there oven if Elihu and Lacy weren’t . . . ’Twa» a crowded ride from Martinsville but Ella Walker and Virginia and Grade enjoyed it, eh, kids? . . . Norflit, quit carrying around that Montgomery-Ward cat- logue; you ain’t bein’ faithful . . . Paul, you’d better look out for your interests down On Ijover’s Leap — Henry’s been invading your terri torj', we believe ... Is it “Aunt Mac ” in Charlotte you go to see Agnes Lee? . . . Parting is such sweet sorrow, Kluttz — if you can find any place to part! . . . What kind of ferris wheels does Raleigh have, Willie, and did you find a Merry-go-Round for Henny? . . . Did you like that nice quiet evening in the living-room, Eve? . . . Harold Boy’s been asking Kathr.vn for a long time; please tell us why she al- days won’t . , “This time it’s love’ I wonder’’ — quote Mary Jo after the Carolina game tvith C. C. JUNIOR ACADEMY NEWS Friday night, October 20, the Academy students will entertain the parents of the day students and the Academy trustees with a buffet sup per. Last week elections of officers for the four classes of Salem Academy were held. The following girls were chosen as leaders: Senior Class: President—Margaret Webb. Vice-President—Cornelia Garber Secretary—Camille Trotman Treasurer—Grey Courtney Junior Class: President—^Betty Goslin Vice-President—Margaret Wade Secretary—Anna Chenney Treasurer—Mary Tennille Sophomore Class: President—Alice Smither Vice-President—Phyllis Ogsbury Secretary-Treasurer—Gladys Ogsbury. Freshman CTaas: President—Julie Harris. Vice-President—Anne Tullock Secretary-Treasurer—Lillian Smith Elections of officers for the var ious clubs and for the Athletic Coun- cil will be held this week. Flash! Juniors leave campus in a body! Anyone could have guessed as much had they been on second around ten P. M. to hear the confus ion of return. Together we stand, divided we fall, but we must let this gossip leak out . . . We had n» idea that Nell and Kelly Anne were so interested in gambling. Do you usu ally make it a foursome? . . . Since when have Mothers greeted their daughters after weeks of absence with “What! Haven’t you gone to bed yet?” Frankie, your surprise was pretty complete, w'asn’t it? . . . Besides other thiug.s last week-end seemed to be one of room-mate co operation. Ask Teenie and Dobbins if their roommate doesn’t under stand their personality . . . McCoy, have you hit ground yet after your high flying and was the bump very hard? . , . Which three “mosquitos drove off to Greensboro last Satur day? Post Scripts . . . Margaret and Harry looking at “Life;” Coley pitching Two-Ton-Woo-Woo; Patty going hay-wire about going to Figi Paradise; Mildred and the two shortest minutes in her life; Kather ine glibly drinking Orange-Orush in, front of Albert; Suiter and her Homo; Esther still insisting on “friends’ lovers no more;” Mariam continually dreaming of snakes with black heads. I DARE SAY That Mrs. Rondthaler and Miss Lawrence have had to use all their ingenuity to secure enough gentlemen for the Senior Dinner Saturday night. You see it'» this way: only sixteen Seniors have dates of their well, but the local-gals-about-town — well now, that’s something different, well, but the local-gaLs-about-town-well now, that’s someting different. That you might accidentally notice the absence of War news in an up-and-coming sheet like the S’alemite. The reason; last week at thd staff meeting a unanimous chorus shouted: Keep the War out of The Salemite. (Ed. note: But there are a few brief bits concerning unusual angles of the war, in here occasionally.) That all those Juniors who were traveling northward back to Salem last week on the bus really had some fun. They say that they even got the bus driver to join in the singing, and that’s sumpin’. I bet a bus driver can really go to town on “Stand Up and Cheer the Name.” That nothing annoys us more than a teacher who, when the lesson has been fully discussed and there’s really nothing more to be said, in- sists on “bulling’’ about one thing or another for the last five minutes of the class. If they only knew what a pleasure those unexpected five minutes free could mean to usi That nothing can surpass (that is, nothing edible) the chocolate pie at the Toddle House. We know it’s fattening, but it’s so-o-o de licious. Anyhow, I’ve got it all figured out. It’s just a nice stroll from the collego to the Toddle House and the walking will serve to keep down the excess avoirdupois that results from the pie. Now that might be » little complicated for you lassies, but some of us ju»t have to thl^ about those things, you know. That if you haven’t noticed, thcu it’s high time I call your at tention to the excellent displays located just on your left as you enter the library. Miss MacAnally is reajwnsible for the ones this week, the theme of which is the “Good Neighbor Policy.’’ It’s plumb cut«. Speaking of the library — I know yon must have noticed that “Esquire” now reposes On a table in the Browsing Room. I heard all sorts of rumdrs’ concerning the fact. Someone said that an old “Grad” of the class of ’88 wanted to present something to the library that th» girls were certain to read. Others said that Mr. Welfare got tired of having several copies of the magazine torn up in the drugstore etverj' month and presented the subscription to the library in an effort to remedy the situation. I really wanted to know so I inquired concerning the mat ter. It seems that “Esquire” has bought out “Steribiner’s” and that we are now receiving “Esquire’’ in the place of “Scribiner’s?^’, and I still say: wonders will never cease! DAT STUDENT Is it between two now, Mary Lou, or is Joe Belton the only one for you? . . . Betsy Hill seems to have that certain power over Bill Sprunt. He comes home from Davidson every week-end just to date her. . . . Ig it possible that the great romance be tween Doris Shore and Harold Hin- shaw is all busted up . . . The eter nal triangle: Mary Alice King, Phyllis Gosselin, and Roy English . What about that verra, verra brief report Nancy McClung made in history class Saturday morning. She must have been excited or some thing . . . Enie Parrish really has the technique when it comes to get ting invited to houseparties. Just ask her about it sometime , . . And, my dears, we hear that Flora Avery MISS ETTA QUETTE SAYS: I think it’s veddy, veddy bad taste to wear to the theater a hat that has an extremely high crown or feathers with heavenly aspirations. If you do wear one, the only nice thing to do is to remove it inside the movie or theater. Of course those people who can’t see usually change their seats, but if everybody tried to find another seat the whole audi ence would soon be playing “Going to Jerusalem.” I admit that jewelry is nice, especially if it ig authentic. I notice however (it must result from the Coronation) that many young girls ar® beginning to wear an excessive amount of it. Under no circumstaneev is it correct to wear a brooch, necklace, hair ornament, and fearringv at the same time. A safe rule to follow — for the yoijng, mind you — is to wear only two of these things at a time — one for the head and one for the neck region. And, as always, flowers, fresh or artiflcial, are still more becoming and much easier to wear than rhinestone jew«l»y. When I have to eat alone in a restaurant, I deem it highly proper to take a magazine or newspaper along. It’s much better to have i^ome. thing to read than to sit staring about while waiting for an orda^^ Here are a few expressions I always try to avoid: ‘ ‘ Remember me to yoar mother. ” “Pleased to meet you.” “I want you to meet Mr. Jones.” “The pleasure is all mine,” “Excuse my glove.” “ I am sorry, but I have to go. ’ ’ “Thanking you in advance for the favor.” “Make you acquainted with.” “Permit me to assist yon.” “Mr. Jones, shake hands with Mr. Smith.” “She says to me.” “You are probably bored with this long epistle, so I had better close.” “'•I am afraid I have bored you to death talklof aa much.” “I must apologize for hurrying oft.” hears from a certain special Wake Forest “Kappa Sig’’ quite often. FESSOMA.N Hello, everybody — Guess Who!!! (Quick, Henry!I! The flit!) —. Mar ian G. is sho ’ planning to have a big week-end. Ah! “Home, S^veet Home” . . . and speaking of week ends, don’t eat too much (like some body we know did) and have to go to the ’firmary. Thas bad biznesst . B. Cooper is happy over Some thing.
