These Are The
Beautiful
They’re ' tall; they’re short —
they’re slender; they’re buxom —
they’re blonde; they’re brunette —
they’re quiet; they’re vivacious —
they’re lovely! What else could they
be except the Salem May Court?
Katharine King we all know for
her excellently groomed appearance,
her gorgeous complexion, and the
Way she looks in blue. Her time is
divided between editing the paper

looks wonderful. No one could bet
ter be queen than Katharine — aside
from her sheer .beauty, she’s added
the experience of two years as the
queen’s attendant.
As maid of honor, dark haired
Margaret Patterson is a striking
contrast to the blond queen. Her
interests have been in student gov-
firnment, and the ex-student govern-
toent president’s brother. Being
®>aid of honor is, of course, new to
^rgaret; but she was in the court
l^t year. Her cerise frock blends in
nicely with the pastels of the at
tendants.
Lyell Glenn — she of pompadour,
®arvelous-looking clothes, and en-
Sagement ring — is merely rehears-
in May for a much greater day
in June. If she pleases Spence half
well as she pleases us, she can’t

Sebia Migette — perhaps the most

Dorothy Dixon — selected for the
third time as attendant — is known
for her dark curly hair, big brown
eyes, and long lashes. She’s the
tiniest of the beauties, one of the
most studious, and distinctly one of
the prettiest.

Booty and Tooty Babbit
Booty and Tooty were two little
rabbits . . . Booty Babbit and Tooty
Babbit. Booty was a little boy rab
bit. Being a rabbit Booty had two
hobbies—one was lettuce. Tooty
had hobbies too—one was Booty
and the other was other rabbits.
For Tooty was a terrible flirt.
Tooty was clever too. She had
worked out an astonishing morse
code which she carried out by
twinkles of her nose and a few
twists of her feet. For instance-
three somer-saults and one twinkle
of her nose meant "Kiss me qurick
before I scream.” Two twinkles
and one twirl on her back left leg
meant "Hash the tra.sh there’s my
husband.” And there were many
other such tricks too involved to
explain here.
But the law of averages had the
upper hand. Booty was bound to
catch on someday. After all what
husband wants his wife to turn
somer-saults and flip flops con
stantly in public—after all?
May Day was the awful day.
Tooty was the center of all attrac
tion. All the countryside gathered to
gether to choose the May Queen and
naturally enough all the wives and
sweethearts were decked out in all
possible finery. Wachel Wabbit ap
peared in a flowered linen dinner
dress with a six yard skirt (1),
Wilhelmina Weasel wore a whitp
linen bathing suit with a pleated
skirt and a pleated jacket (3),
Priscilla Butterfli paraded a white
pique dirndl with colored embroid
ery around the neckline (3), Bis-
cayne Bee buzzed about in an even
ing dress with a blue and white
checked blouse and a full organdy
skirt(4). And Tooty Babbit wore a
luscious dinner dress of white
organda that she had run up the
night before.
Needless to say Tooty was elect
ed May Queen and rightfully too,
for she was by far the most beauti
ful competitor—but the others just
couldn’t understand why all the
men just loved the way Tooty
jumped around all the time.
But as Tooty was being crowned
Queen she caught sight of a de
licious looking fellow over in the
shadows. Sjhe liked his ears and his
eyes and his beautiful clothes. And
suddenly Tooty began to spin
around and turn flips and wiggle
her nose . . . spelling out an in
triguing message to the handsome
rascal in the audience. He was
lounging against a tree munching
some lettuce happily—when sudden
ly he picked up the message. His'
heart turned a flip. He dashed up
to the throne, seized the May
Queen, and hopepd like a streak of
lightening into the forest.
Hours later Tooty looked up at
her handsome abductor. It was
Booty.
"I guess,” said he, "that I have
been careless. I have neglected you.
From now on I have only one hob
by—and it ain’t lettuce.

That a little orange crate on the second floor
of Alice Clewell ain’t no fittin’ home for a bunny
rabbitt. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals should be a doing sumpin’ about I’m a thinking.
That Miss Marsh and the dainty little lasses in the Fire Dance
were some flabbergusted to see the headlines in Wednesday’s paper above
their picture — Fire-Eaters to Dance at Salem May Day. I hear that
all the small fry in town are planning to come to May Day this year,
thinking that it will somewhat resemble the circus.
That the "Sfalemite” is really being sadly neglected this week,
for the craziest of all reasons — the head members are busy attending
meeting of the North Carolina Collegiate Press Association at the Bobert
E. Lee Hotel in Winston,
That what with the pool opening Monday there’ll be no rest for
anyone in the afternoons who lives on the East side of Clewell.
That the funniest sight I’ve seen in a long time was certain people
doing the Conga at Junior-Srenior, or else it was that row of under
classmen sitting in the gym and looking wistfully at the going-ons. They
looked like a Norman Bockwell, "Saturday Evening Post” cover.
ROCKS AND ROSES
The best news of all is that the
Seniors have confessed they don’t
know the first thing about writing.
Our sympathy goes out to them
especially when they don't know
how to put on paper what they
know most about—gossip. Well
here goes with some what of a
malicious note of fear.
Junior-Senior dance was all we
could ever have hoped for in our
most imaginative moments. All
we can say is thank you Juniors
for one perfect week-end. Those
two days may be the changing point
for many of the gals in their class
—all except 'Frankie, who couldn’t
cover up those telling splotches
even with pancake make-up. She’s
reclining in the infirmary along
with "Queen King.” The rest of
us are also running temperature
but are lucky enough not to have
the other symptoms. Did you notice
all the beautiful posies la.st week
end—Coly’s orchid which means, I
guess, that Huck can be put on the
"steady” list, Nells and Kelly's
roses, P. S. Kelly says Bobbie, was
a surprise even to her, Dobbins’
orchid and on and on into the
night. Early, Dick must be inter
ested for a visit from Friday to
Sunday spells more than casual
concern. Sounds like you are run
ning a close second to your room
mate. We thought Sallie's Pete
looked a little serious. You know of
course that he's got his papers.
Army life will agree but leaving
that blonde-headed glamour girl is
something else.
This may not be the appropriate
place but we all want to say—
Sarah Linn, we are left speechless.
Sometime in the future we may be
asking you the formula for Memo
rial Hall to Carneige Hall in one
step.
And to all you happy Seniors two
gold stars on your diplomas! That's
enough—three would look like a'
vulgar display of power.

Nancy Chesson had to carry around

another big week with just another
date . . . Dot Sisk and Gene Sutton
seemed to be having a good time,
but don’t they always . . . Even
though Wyatt’s date missed the
Tea Dance, they made up for lost
time . , . Mickey Craig and Jim
O’Keefe hit it off to the very tee.
After all is said and done

With men and flowers
And no April showers,
With many happy girls
And no fallen curls,
With Barry McKinly
And everybody friendly.
