THE SALEMITE
Page Three.
Brethren, if you all think the Civil War quit in 1860 or
whenever it was . . . you just don’t know! For the past week
sound effects of bitter war-fare have been ^pouring forth from
the ■comp, class. With the Yankees drawn up on the first row
ind the Southerners on the last three rows, the business gets
binder way. To date one of the best remarks of the battle came
from Mary Boylan about the “tourists and things” that horde
down, from the North. It’s great!
And speaking of sounds from classes . . . have you ever
had the misfortune to wander past South Hall between two and
three on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday? Without a doubt
the MOST racket can come out of the music appreciation place.
It seems that the vie is in such a foul state that the students
■can’t distinguish a record of the “Hut-Sut Song” from one of
^lozart’s “Requiem.”
Dr. McEwen had a marvelous-opportunity at the dance
^ast Saturday to use the new rhumba and conga steps he learned
dancing school . . . and did you see the rush he got? When
looked his breaks were coming faster than he could snap his
fingers. We though that the dance, by the way, was one of the
best we’ve seen in Salem . . great swarms of people invaded
the campus, everybody looked grand, and the music was won-
*ierful . . . but the punch! Well . . .
Without doubt the finest thing that’s happened in many
day^ is the announcement that we’re FINALLY taking action
toward getting a literary magazine for Salem. Isn’t it STU
PENDOUS? Will you not forget to save whatever good you
'^’rite and submit it to the staff when the time comes?
Blackouts are nothing new on the Salem campus .
'i'lst ask the Lehmanites what invariably happens on test eve.
• • . ANY test eve! Statistics prove that a fuse will be blown
^very other night between the hours of ten-thirty and eleven;
at ten-thirty, the inhabitants of Lehman Hall lay aside their
^ooks . . . take up their candles . . . gather i nthe downstairs
^^■11 . . . and hold forth vocally on, “Follow the Gleam.”
Oh how I wish we might smoke in our rooms! It be-
hooveth me to leave, but I shall be forced to bundle into my
and trek toward the Smoke House for a much delayed
‘lift.’

p. s.—Why doesn’t somebody tell us who the dear little
man is?

Ed. note: Those unenlighted few
who think Salem girls are not acute

gency just don’t know the half of
it. Along with knitting and first-
aid work, Salem girlg are helping

THIS IS A SNAKE
THIS IS THE RED MAN
WATCHING- A SNAKE
This horrible creature is a Salem Snake. It goes to all
the dances at Salem and slithers around to the boys biaking sly
remarks about the girls who brought them. The Snake is hap
piest when It is making eyes at the dates of its best friends.
Were You A Snake Last Week?
YES?

Well all the Bitty’s stayed in the
roosts this week and in different
ways helped with national defenso
problems . . . Among the Sieniors
helping the cause we-re Lrila John
ston and Agnes Mae Johnson who
dated array officers . . . Among the
Seniors helping with defense in col
leges (V. P. I. boys) were? Jennie
Linn, Peggy Garth, Lib Weldon and
Lucy Springer . . . one Senior, Dot
Sisk, wandered from the roost to
State Collcfge and helped in defense
by saving electricity . . . Morale
of civilian life was kept up by the
rest of the Bitty’s who wont to
dance; namely Martha Bowman,
Bcrtty Barbour, Dot McLean, Nancy
Chesson, Louise Bralower, Edith
Horsfield, Allene ITarrison, Jennie
Bunch, B. Bettinger and Mari©
Fitzgerald.
Those? who are being careless of
todays grave defense measures are:
Marion Norris who constantly re
ceives phone calls (each ring costa
curcuits of electricity); Mary W.
Wall and Dee Dixon who receiv.ed
two orchids for the dance (each
orchid would buy a sweater for the
little Russians); Mary O’Kwjfe for
wasting Joe’s gas (each gallon could
be used for airplane fuel); Mickey
Craig and Polly Herrman who
denied civilians their pwsonalities
at the dance; and Keece Thomas
who has been wasting electricity.
Ncfxt week end as the Bittywar
den to Fall Gormans at Carolina,
to Duke-Carolina game and various
points South, please remember Sa
lem’s part in the national emcfr
gency.
It’s a mystery why Yvonne
Phelps is adways bubbling over-
Wonder if it’s Bob?? . . . Why
does Julia like High School foot
ball—could it be tho coach?? . . .
Mill’s always making wise cracks,
wonder if she ever studies . . . We
wonder if Ann Page and Sara Lou
McNair found the other half of V.
P. I. . . I bc^t Ruth O’Neal had
fun at the State-V. P. I. game Satur
day . . . We were sorry that Katie
Wolf’s date from Duke couldn’t
come to the dance. . . Why does
I’eggy Eaton get so many letters
from Fort Bragg, and have you
noticcd how they’re addressml? . .
Anu Souls had quite a time the
other night—the driver didn't suit
so she drove h(*rself . . . Rousseau’s
telegrams come as usual. Laura,
Mary T., and Sebia seemed to have
enjoyeil the Square dunce the other
night. Camp HanevS and aviators
are all right together eh, girls . . .
It does aoeni strange that Margaret
Rtaubpr knows her way quite well
around Winston — especially the
road to Park Inn. . . . Marlena
furnishes oodles of fun for her
groups . . . Mary L. Parks and Bee
son seemed to havi? had fun at the
soldiers dance Saturday night. .
Mary Lucy, Mary Alice talks about
John and Bill respectively.
We noticed that—
Sara Heater is always studying
at school,
that a certain Salem hat ia said
to bo at Oak R.idge and we are
missing a hat on Betty Goslen’a
head,
that Totherou nev(?r studies on
Tuesday nites,
that Stovall was busy all last
week-end,
that Johnnie Saylor always wears
a cheery smile,
Franc«?s Krites didn’t lose Mur
phy or the blue Pontiac.
Salem girls are really going to
town—and we mean the Big Town,
(Winchell, take notice.) Lib Read's
datt'd up for West Point and Nancy
McClung is all set for Harvard. But
the tid-bid of the week is Bobbie
Whitter's coming descent upon
Princeton
By the way, what mmber (fem
inine) of the musical faculty,
dresaed in greon, did some beauti
ful open-field running at the dance
to cut in on Margaret Vardell's
Lot’s do our little bit for defffnse!
What’s this about? It seems kinda
dense.
What fence? Barbed or picket?
And what about soldiers? It sounds
almost wick(?d.
And what’s Chinese Relief got to
do with this?
•The other morning I was sleeping
in peaceful blisa
And was awaken by a horrible noiso
Then somebody said, “We must
help our boys.”
Soon someone made a fine sugges
tion.
It tickled me? so I got indigestion.
‘ ‘ Help them with first aid."
Was the funny remark from one
fair maid.
That Chapel was one more howling
affair.
Every Salemite should havj been
right there.
Instead of taking a cut so's not to
be bored
It was so funny even Dr. Howard
roared!
soldier from Massachusetts? Be
ware of the Little Red Man ! I
Phil Hill has gotti?n her sisters
married off, is she going to begin
on her brothers now or is she nomi
nating herself for the next candi
date? We know tho superstition
about the one who catches the
bride’s bouquet but what hidden
fate is awaiting the gal who drops
her orchids into thtj swimming pool?
Goldberg get out the cards.
