Women of the Week
MAKJORIE MOORE .
“Well, to tell you the truth,
there’s a lot about Marge that you
can’t put your finger on. There’s
something unusual about her person
ality, s 0 m e-
thing hard to
explain, but
something very
real.”
So said one of
the many girls
on the campus
who have come
in contact with
Marge.
In looks.
Marge is a tall
girl with sandy
red hair and humorous eyes. The
impression of her is one of quiet
willingness to help, and a genuine
interest in you, of all people. The
humor in her eyes is oftimes quite
hidden by a pair of large spectacles
perched precariously on her nose.
But once the gleam and sparkle is
discovered, you can never forget it
—and you always look for it.
W!e who live with her in Sister’s
House love her for the unfailing
“little things” she is forever doing.
Marge will offer at the slightest
sigh all her store of serenity, kind
ness and good humor to help make
a woefull world seem brighter. Or—
if more material things are required
■—she will offer anything from her
evening shoes to her precious pan
and hot-plate. Even when she has
food, Marge never hoards. She de
clares open season for scavengers
until every crumb is gone.
Sfhe studies, does Marge, but not
in the frantic cramming fashion
that the rest of us do. She seems to
absorb all she learns, to keep and
to ponder over. Often you may
catch her dreaming blissfully with
such a secretly wise little smile on
her face that you long to sneak into
her thoughts and listen.
In a crowd Marge' hasn’t much to
say. She’s affable and ready to be
accommodating—especially when a
trip to the Toddle House is men
tioned. It is rumored that she can
consume perfectly enormous quan
tities of pie.
Marge is quiet-^but sturdy. That
“something” about her, which may
be generosity or dreaminess, is just
as indestructable as air. She is un
obtrusive and won’t come to you—
but all who have come to her, love
her.
SENOKA LINDSEY
The sound of hurrying feet in the
hall; a short, quick tap at the door;
and in burst Senora, bubbling over
with joy and vitality. Loads of pep
and animation
arc just as
much a part of
■S'enora as her
‘‘peaches and
cream” com
plexion, her
blue expressive
eyes, her dark
brown hair,
and her “slip
of a mouth ”
that pouts like
a bad baby.
Senora is sincere, straight-forward
and honest in all she does and says.
And she says a lot; for the conver
sation nev'er lags or becomes boring
when Senora is around to take over.
When she speaks in that breathless,
excited voice of Olen, the boy-friend
who calls from New York and sends
teddy-bears; a flame lights up in
those sparkling, blue eyes. But
when she speaks of Tarboro and her
German-police dog, Tony; a dreamy,
far-away expression fills her eyes
—and Senora is lost in another
world.
Senora is blessed with having one
of those rare combinations of being
very feminine and very athletic. In
basketball, which is her favorite
sport, she cuts quite a figure on the
court. Tennis and swimming appeal
to her just as much as basketball
docs.
Her interests are many and vary
from “hen-parties” in her cozy,
home-like room to studying in her
favorite chair in the library. Eight
now, Senora is very much interested
in the field of^ journalism, and fan
cies herself a scurrying career wo
man scooping a story, or pounding
away on a typewriter.
No one could find a more loyal
and true friend, in this understand
ing girl who alwlays lends a sympa
thetic ear to troubles. We see in
Senora a girl who is to be looked up
to, admired, and respected.
Library Entertains
Friends With Party
If you were one of those who
couldn’t get in the browsing or main
reading room last evening it was
because open house was being held
at the Library by the members of
the directorate committee of the
Friends of the Library honoring
members of the Fourth Civil Serv
ice Regional Office; Office of the
Directorate of Flying S’afety and
their civilian membership as well as
the faculty members and adminis
trative officers of the Bowman Gray
School of Medicine.
Mrs. Rondthaler, Mr. and Mrs.
Weinland, Miss Siewers, and Miss
McAnally helped the committee re
ceive. Student library asisstants
served refreshments and acted as
guides to the newcomers to the city.
—WOMEN—
We Even Xmas Shop
Christmas is coming, and the geese
are skinny, and this year this po’
chile hasn’t got a penny . . . an'd
doggonit, I have all of my Christ
mas shopping to do. I read in a
magazine some suggestions, so I
guess that it wouldn’t hurt to pass
a few of them on. I’ll disregard
price, because everybody isn’t pov
erty stricken and financially embar
rassed like I am.
Well, for brother who has his first
tuxedo ... a sister can merly add
the accessories . . . .such as button
aire, cuff links, stiff shirt (not stuff
shirt), silk scarf, and black silk
(am I kidding?) stockings . . . and
if he has trouble keeping his socks
Up . . . give him a pair of garters.
For your friends (of the all fair
and feminine sex) anything will do
. . . ’specially earrings and sophis
ticated perfume for the sophisticate
. . . kerchiefs and novelty stockings
for the outdoor girl. “Undies” . . .
rnainly pants, sissy slips, and other
such articles . . . for the definitely
feminine type. For the plain, ordi
nary girl,.. . . lipstick—light for the
brown-eyed S^izie, and dark with
more of a purplish cast for the
*‘Blondie.” All make-up is great.
No, Mother hasn’t been forgotten.
Of course you’d like to give her a
house and lot; but the government
has a building priority this year
... so you’ll have to settle with odd
pieces of silver or china, a picture
of your’s truly, bag and gloves that
she wouldn’t buy because she’s try
ing to be conservative, maybe a
house coat and slippers. Along with
Mother we too think of Daddy .
Men are human impossibilities. Give
daddy a pipe . . . Keywoodie’s are
nice . . . cartons of cigarettes for
you to bum, give him your service,
a mess jacket, also your love, house
slippers, your attention, new hunt
ing boots (the old ones are more or
less dirt ridden now), and as usual
. . ■ ties, socks, handkerchiefs and
such trite articles. . .
N"ow for the one-and-only ... if
he hasn’t a picture to show the boys
in the camp . . . send him one. I
think he’d like gloves, a sweater,
engraved (or printed) stationery, a
cigarette lighter and case . . . this
is all in case he is in A-1. Now if
he is in 4-F . . . the only suggestion
I have is a cafie.
I don’t know why I write this . . .
you’ll buy w;hat you want anyhow;
but just remember that it is the
thought behind the gift rather than
the gift, and it is more blessed, even
in war times, to give than to receive
. . . Merry Christmas!

lasting freedom. Theirs is the op
portunity to work with sterling
young people who give great prom
ise of leadership ...”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt.
It is a foregone conclusion that
all of our young men, as the Man
power Commission has said, “are
destined for some branch of the
armed service.” This being true,
where will the educated leadership
in the future be found? Is this
not the opportunity, nay, the tre
mendous responsibility of our young
women ?
Considering, therefore, that it is
the responsibility of young women
who are in college to remain until
their work is completed, and realiz
ing that this is not only a personal
responsibility but also a patriotic
duty, the women of Salem are still
anxious that they might make an
immediate and direct contribution.
Agencies and methods whereby such
contributions might be made have
been established at the College for
some time. They include First Aid
courses. Red Cross sewing and knit-
ting, buying of soldier kits, volun
teer work through the Defense
Council, regular buying of war
stamps and bonds, et cetera.
Your response, as students, made
in such immediate contributions of
time, energy, abilities, and money,
have in some respects been gratify
ing to your Government as well as

est which is so scarce these days.
He played “Novelette” in E Major
by Schumann. Margery Craig had
us guessing all the time—when wo
thought her Menuet by Vierne was
finished, and we had almost begun
to applaud, she’d begin a new
theme. But we liked its oddity.
Annie Hyman Bunn stole the hearts
of everyone in the audience the mo
ment she began to sing “Pace, pace,
mi Dis, ” by Verdi. Marion Gary
was an individualist by the fact
that she carried a muff that matched
her beautiful golden dress. She sang
a most unusual number—“Pastor
ale,” by Stravinsky. The highlight
of the program was the “Concerto
in D Minor,” by Rubinstein, which
was played by Margaret Leinbach
and D!r| Vardell. Margaret’s tech
nique and interpretation was un
surpassed. Others taking part on
the program were Jane Garrou,
singing “Impatience,” by Schubert;
Olive Johnston, singing “Ave Ma
ria,” by Mascagni; and Elizabeth
Johnston playing “Capriccio” in B
Minor, op. 76, No. 1, by Brahms.
We departed, delighted over the
program, and glad that we had come
—ithe rain and all.

Iley Babes,
Well, this being the “Merry
Xmas” issue of the SALEMITE
(and your reporter thanks heaven
for the brief respite to come) about
all the news available is: “Wliat
can I give Joe?” or “What on
earth does one give a boy in the
army?” Well, I suppose it is a
problem and perhaps a few sugges
tions will help you people out. But
seems to me as I sit here in class
trying to think of some nice little
something that nothing comes to
this ole beat-up mind.
Now, there’s always the picture
that doesn’t take up much space and
is always appreciated. "Wio knows?
It mighti brijig many a happy mem
ory in a time of despairation and
despair.
Then there’s stationery—either as
a subtle hint or just as a nice re
membrance.
Oh, really, this is too much for
nie—think up the gifts yourself—
I’ve got troubles of my own.
I’m afraid we’ll have to retract
our statement about SUE, Jake, finis
—you know, ’cause guess who called
Sue last night?
HOBSON is smiling again, thank
goodness. S he at last got a check
from home, but- she’ll still take in
washing for a little added stamp
money—Room 207.
Imagine ADAIR’S surprise when
she arrived in Charlotte and her
nice-looking date’s face was all
scarred and marred—by a chemistry
mishap, you understand.
Beware of Davidson 1 If you
don’t believe me ask Khackey T.,
the slave.
And speaking of Davidson we
wonder what Salem would do if
Wilbo didn’t get the urge to see
MOTT every week and bring all the
boys with him.
SEVILLE is mighty happy these
days ’cause Ed’s in N. C. once again.
And besides, she only has to put 3c
on' that letter per day now. Merce
nary, I call it.
Has anyone ever seen a more frig
id reception as NANCY JOHNS’ON
gave her date last week-end? I
shivered for him. I certainly hope
they will soon get on SPEAKING
terms, anyway. But it was a gay
week-end.
Imagine JUNE BROWN’S embar
rassment when she made the remark
that six weeks in the cess pool was
great—and there stood Mrs. Rond
thaler. Guess the moral of that
store!
Switches in the stockings of the
faculty members who gave us all
the work they could, and orchids to
those who postponed our tests—es
pecially MRS. SPAUGH and MR.
HOLDER.
In spite of a wall of indifference,
Pete persists and if you ask WOOT
EN it’s a darned good technique.
We’d like to thank MR. WEIN
LAND for his excellent talk to the
upperclassmen Wednesday night.
Most enlightening, to say the least.
Yes, I know. I’m supposed to gos
sip, but I’ve got too much of the
“good will toward men” spirit. Be
sides, if I can finish my term paper
this p. m. I’ll only have two more
to go before Dec. 15. Goodbye and
a Merry Christmas to all.
—MARTHA.
