Basketball Leaders
Chosen
This week our class teams chose
their captains for the approaching
basketball tournament. Those girls
plus the basketball managers will be
in charge of arranging the intra
mural games. The managers chosen
last year by the athletic council are
Mabel is a senior and has been a
Mabel Pitzer and Lillian Lanning.
regular member of her team on
which she plays forward. Moreover
she was chosen a member of last
year’s varsity. Unfortunately, this
season, due to a badly sprained
ankle, she will be unable to take
part in the games. Lillian is a
junior and an outstanding guard on
her team. She too is a member of
last year’s varsity. Maybe it’s a
jinx, but anyway she too has been
on the injured l!st with a cracked
arm. However, shes hoping to be
back in the games within the next
two Or three weeks.
The Sen-or Captain is Frances
Angelo. Last year she played for
ward on the sophomore team, but
this year she has advanced to the
ranks of a senior. Although only
live feet tall, her speed in covering
the floor makes up for this lack of
heighth. (You will also recall her
speed as a wing in Hockey).
The juniors have chosen co-cap
tains—Sue Forrest and Kelly Anne
Smith. Sue has played guard with
her team for the past two years and
was on last year’s varsity. Kelly
began her college career as a guard,
but switched to a forward last year
and made a most outstanding one.
Eleanor Hutchinson is the sopho
more captain. Following i the steps
of sister Jo (class of ’39), she too
plays center forward and is a true
inspiration to her team.
The freshmen have decided to
wait until their team is better or
ganized before picking a captain.
After seeing their team in action in
a proposed game with Salem Acad
emy, they hope to be in a better
position to make their selection.
MILSTEIN PROGRAM
DISCUSSED IN
CHAPEL
In Thursday morning chapel, Miss
Hazel Bead told the Student Body
a few interesting facts about Na
than Milstein a Russian concert vio
linist, who appeared at the Reynolds
Auditorium Thursday evening. Miss

numbers.
SALEM GIRLS ENJOY
MONTALDO’S SHOW
Montaldo’s spring fashion show
was held Wednesday night in Mon
taldo’s College department. As we
sat calmly sipping cokes, our spring
clothes breezed by. “The Wind”
had definitely blo\vn through the
skirts. The coats, in luscious new
pastels, were fitted in the waist
with extremely wide skirts. Navy
blue and red hit a new high in early
spring suits and dresses. The hats
were either a bunch of flowers tied
over one eye witji wide ribbons or
the wide brim straws to match any
costume. The outstanding evening
dress was an extreniely skirted cream
paper taffeta with a blue, rose and
gold checked hip-length coat.
The Salem models were Lily Sut
ton Ferrell, Betsy O’Brian, Agatha
Walker, Mary Ann Paschal and
A dele Von Seckendorff-Gudent.

TALL AND DARK’S
LETTER TO SWEET
BRIAR GETS REPLY
Sweet Briar, Va.—Into the post
office of Sweet Briar College for
Girls came a post card, addressed to
Box 408, from a southern school.
“Dear Box 408,” it read. “I was
just wondering what the holder of
my box number at Sweet Briar
looks like.
“As for me, I am tall, dark, and
I drive a Ford V-8. I am a fresh
man. What do you look like?
Where are you from and what
class are you inf”
Out from Sweet Briar went the
reply to Box 408 at the southern
institution. It read in part:
“I am tall, too, and not as thin
as I once was. My hair is white
and I drive a Buick. I was a fresh
man in 1896.”
Post-office Box 408 at Sweet
Briar belongs to the president of
the college, Dr. Meta Glass, sister
of the Virginia’s Senator Carter
Glass.
CAMPUS TEA ROOM
NOW OPEN FOR USE
All Salem students have from time
to time wished that there could be
some place on the campus where
they could go to sit, to dance, and
to buy food. At last, through the
efforts of Miss Lawrence and vari
ous organizations the basement of
Alice Clewell _ Building has been
converted into just that place. It
is difficult to believe that the at
tractive tea-room that is now there
has taken the place of the once drab
basement room.
Various improvements and reno
vations have taken place during the
past several weeks. The “Y” store
cage” has been removed and one of
the two ping-pong tables is now in
its place. Green curtains have been
hung, at the wndows, and green tea-
tables and chairs have been placed
at intervals in the large room.
There are corner-seats, sofas, and a
large table for games. On week
ends there will be movies, and on
Saturday nights plenty of room for
dancing for girls and their dates.
Refreshments may be bought at a
small cost from members of the Wee
Blue Inn staff, from i the “Y”
Store, or from other organizations
which will have the tea room in
charge from, time to time.
Students at Salem should consider
this a very great improvement and
may be proud that they may now
take advantage of using the room
of which we have long been in need.
