WEEK-END SHELF
SOPHOMORES DOWN

Thursday afternoon at 4:30 two
fairly evenly-matched hockey teams
lined up on the hockey field to test
their strength. The Sophomores, ar
rayed in purple and white and hav
ing one year of experience behind
them, stobd facing the stalwart liiie
of yellow and black clad Freshmen.
From the time of the first bully un
til the sound of the final whistle
these two teams went from one end
of the field to the other in close
contest. During the first half the
center forward of the Sophomores,
Louise . Bralower, managed to push
over the first, last, and winning
score in the game. Both teams should
be complimented for their fine work
and especially E. Baynes, Johnston,
, and Bonboun for the,the Sophomores
and Ewing, Bowen, Walker, and
Sprunt for the freshmen, and to the
goalies, TJhomas and . Whittier go'

CANDLE TEA
DEAR OCTOPUS
Each year a candle tea is held in
the historic Brother’s House across
the street from Salem College. This
year it was held on Friday, Novem
ber If*. After a small silver offer
ing the guests are greeted by colon
ial-costumed l.ilips. Into the old-
fashioned kitchen, with bnilt-in oven
and large blocks of stone for walls
and floor, tlu> guests arc led. .Mo
ravian coffee cake and coffee
in large mugs especially de
licious in this proper setting. Next,
everyone goes to an adjoining room
to watch Miss Butner make real
wax candles, by hand. It is a very
interesting and a unicjiie process,
seemingly difficult, and one won
ders how Miss Butner has the pa
tience to make the thousands of
candles which she turns out each
j ear for the Christmas sea,son.
Down many steps into the cool
depths of a very low cellar the guests

All Salemites are eagerly looking
forward to the main dramatic pro
duction of the year, a tliree-a;t play,
‘ ‘ Dear Octopus, ’ ’ to be presented by
the Pierrette Players, plus men, on
December 8, in the Old Chapel.
“Dear Octopus” has for its set
ting, North England but of course
it has been Americanized. The
story is built around the celebration
of the Golden Wedding Anniversary
of an old couple. The name, “Dear
Octopus,” is cleverly brought forth
by the main idea of the play; the
family ties, or tentacles, reach out
and draw in all the members of the
family for the anniversary celebra
tion.
It is interesting to note that our
dramatic genius, Elizabeth Trotrajin,
is playing the role which she played
in a summer theatre in the north this
]Ki.st summer. Kitty McKoy and
Mary Lou Moore appear as small
children. With the aid of real men,
the play should be one of the best
the Pierrette.^ have presentd.
The -ast is follows:
The old couple:
Charles Randolph—Perry Harmon
i)ora Randoljfli—Jllizabeth Trot-
man.
Their children:
Hilda Randolph—Dicky Disque
^.largery R. Harvey—
Katharine King.
Cynthia Randolph—Margaret Ray
Nicholas Randolph — Frank
Trotman.
Their grandchildren:
Hugh Randolph—Emory Barber
“ Flonncy” Harvey—Mary I.ou
Miiore
'“Bill” Harvey—Charles Vance
“Rcr.'ip” Kenton—Kitty McKoy
Edna Randolph—Eleanor Betscher
Kenneth Harvey—Clay Sliields
Belle Schlessinger—Jackie Ray
Tra.ce Penning—Lee Rice
X anny—Barbara Plumer
(fertrude—Gladys Blackwood.
The plaV is under the direction of
Mrs. Bruce Williams. The stage and
property managers have not yet been

TREE PLANTING
The annual tree-planting service
at Salem was held Thursday morn
ing at chapel. After the usual an
nouncements, the classes marched
in order out of Memorial Hall, the
seniors in their caps and gowns lead
ing the way. The marshalls led the
classes to the Lizora Fortune Hanes
Home Management Hou.se, where the
ivy was planted. ,\gnes Lee Carmich
ael, president of the Senior Class,
pointed out how the newly-planted
ivy represented the past, present,
and future of the class of 1940, and
an approjfriate an^l thoughtful re
sponse was given by Dr. Howard
Rondthaler, Salem’s president.
After the ivy was planted, the
narshiills again led the way this time
to a lovely spot .behind J-ouisa Wil
son Bitting Building. There the
sniall magnolia tree, only the third
of its kind on the campus, was plant
ed. The seniors sang a song speeial-

Big Plans Are On
Foot
Winston-Salem is preparing to
celebrate Armistice Day this year
in a big way. The plans for the day
include a parade at 10:30, a football
game between Carolina and David
son, at 2:00 and a dance at tho
‘ ‘f?inokehou8c’ > tomorrow night.
Sponsoring this gala occasion arc
girls from towns of the piedmont and
northwestern section of North
('arolina appointed by their respec
tive mayors. Prom Winston-Salem.
-Mayor .lames 7L Pain has appointed
Bettie Sprunt to lead the Davidson
spon.sers and Ann Hanes to load the
Carolina sponsers.
The young ladies with their es
corts will arrive in Winston-Salem
Saturday morning and begin their
duties in the parade at 10:30. The
parade will feature the ('arolina and
Davidson Bands as well as the loyaJ
American Legion and Reynolds Higli
School band. At the game the spon
sors will be divided and seated in
special boxes arranged on each side
of the field. Saturday night follow
ing the game the sponsors and their
escorts will be guests at the Caro
lina-David'son Gridiron Ball to be
held at the Forest Hills Smokehouse.
Music for the dance will be furnish
ed by Charlie Wood and his Univer
sity of North Carolina Orchestra. A
feature of the dance w'ill be a selec
tion of the Queen from one of the
sponsers.
Down Salem College way the air is
electric with excitement and thrills
because the college girls are expect-
ing a gala week-end of it, too. The
campus is going to bo flooded with
handsome young swains from both
Carolina and Davidson if all the ru
mors that are being whispered come
true. The only complaints that can
be heard are two: One, ‘ ‘ which
team shall I pull for, both are such
grand schools, ’ > and second, ‘ ‘ Are
there going to be any girl stags at
the dance?” For the I. R. S. Council
is planning the biggest dance of the
year to eclebrate the occasion. The
music is being furnished by Paul
Brigman and his orchestra from
High Point, and there arc elaborate
plans for the decoration of the gym.
There are thirty-two guests expected
in the dormitory- not including the
returning alumnae — who seem to
be taking this for Sillem’s Home
coming week-end. There is no doubt
about it, it is going to be a time —
rain, shine, or snow.
JUNIOR-SENIOR GAME
OPENS SEASON
The Salem hockey season got un
der way November 6, with the first
game being won by the juniors.
They defeated the seniors 2-1. The
game was an especially clean one
with, however, little teamwork
because of lack of practice.
Pitzer for the seniors, scored first
near the end of the first half, and
Emerson followed her with a score
for the juniors before the half whis
tle sounded. The only goal made
in the second half was made by L.
Lanning of the juniors.
