^^Right This Way To
The Campus Fair”
A date Is a date—but this fall it
means a little more. That’s the rea
son I wore the new fall suit, took
extra pains with those straggling
ends of my wig, and reviewed all
the cute remarks I had heard lately:
I planned to make it an extra-speeial
evening—away from school!
Outside Clewell two girls broad
cast: “This way to the Campus
Pair.” He suggested that we* just
glance inside, and then go on, but
we stayed—couldn’t help it!
It was a little more than the pun
gency of crisp October leaves, gay
decorations, and beckoning posters.
It was more than the proverbial pink
lemonade, peanuts, popcorn, and hot-
dogs. It was the barker’s insistent
clamour and the laughing, spirited
crowd jostling and pushing from one
booth to another that made the car
nival atmosphere irresistable.
With a hotdog in one hand and
pink lemonade in the other, I point
ed out the familiar noses in the
“Live Stock Exhibit.” Tie girls’
pets ranged from miniature ivory
mice or fuzzy pink deers to im
mense pandas. Particularly inter
esting were the samples of dehy
drated foods and the exhibits of
handwork. Not to miss a single
booth, we stood in line for bowling,
then darts. Oh well, I wasn’t the
only one who missed the dart-board
entirely! The miniature glass horse
that my date won in the “Pot of
Luck” is already,crowning my book
case. Now I started wondering why
we hadn’t planned to come to the
Campus Fair all along.
Kosalind Clark’s caricatures should
be saved for posterity as the college
girl of 1943 — but I really didn’t
know my nose is that long. Becky
Cozart then cornered us for the
freak show. (No, she didn’t want
us as specimens). I really wouldn’t
want to meet one of those contori-
tionists in a black-out. Nightmaresl
Waiting in line to see Mrs. Camp
bell, the palmist, we wore out our
feet as well as our appetites. I’m
still afraid that my two little blist
ers from golf changed my whole
future.
Still slightly mystified but encour
aged about the future man short
age, we elbowed our way to the
much-advertised Gingham Tavern.
Head-waiter McEwen bowed us to a
candle-lighted table. Zombies and
Mint Juleps were the specialties on
the clever gingham menus; seeing
bartender Campbell, con^plete with
plaid tie and white coat, mixing the
drinks was an added attraction.
Such style!
At-ten-tion!” The babbling
ceased as the master of ceremonies,
Mary Alice Neilson, drew all eyes
to the stage clearing. “The Moor
Show will now begin!” Among the
not-to-be-forgottens were: “Paper-
dolls”* by Gwen Mendenhall and
chorus and “Stormy Weather” by
Janie Mulhollem; the pantomime of
“Pistol Packing Mama” and Rosy’s
variations of a striptease; Coit Red-
fearn’s famed recitations and Sara
Haltiwanger’s accompaniment; and
Mrs. Meinung’s and "Nellie Seewald’s
cake-walk. During the applause I
realized that this was exactly the
extra-special evening I had wanted
it to be.
Column
The “Y” Cabinet and the Defense
Council sponsored an open house
last Sunday afternoon for the Air
Corps boys who are stationed in
Winston-Salem. These boys were en
tertained by Salem students in the
Recreation Boom of Louisa Wilson
Bitting. This was the first of the
U. S. O. activities which the “ Y”
is planing to back during the year.
Fifteen members of Catherine
Bunn’s group sang for the women
om The Old Salem Home Sunday
night. The program which these girls

SNAVELY ADRESSES
SECRETARIAL CLASS
Mr. E. D. Snavely, manager of
Salem Bookstore, talked recently
to the girls of the secretarial de
partment about office stationery.
He stated that there is a definite
grade and weight of paper for each
type of work and showed samplefs
of various weights ranging from
the seven pound union skin paper
to the twenty-four pound bond
paper.
Mr. Snavely also talked about
the selection of carbon paper, point
ing out which weight should be
chosen to secure the best results
on the copy. He demonstrated the
uses of hard carbon and soft carbon,
stating that the choise depended
entirely on the number of carbon
copies needed and the type of
machine used for the typing.
Mr. Snavely’s advice was instruct
ive to the girls who will take sec
retarial £md other office positions
as they frequently will be called
upon to select business letterheads
and paper.
Hello Dear^
iin
Tlie army career of Private — -
has taken a turn for the better since
I last saw you. So now they’re at
tempting to make an engineer of
me and this is certainly the oppor
tunity of a life-time. Consequently,
contrary to my Carolina college
views, I intend to make the best
of it. It certainly makes a differ
ence when a fellow studies to l(?irn
instead of just to get by or pass
Wednesday’s quiz.
It seems the army wants this par
ticular enlisted man to remain in
the boundaries of the metropolitan
area for the duration. First New
Rochelle, next the upper Hudson, and
New York proper. I guess I’m about
the only soldier to get his complete
basic training on Times Square.
But what will I tell my children
when they ask, “Daddy, what did
you do in the great war?” They
may not believe it when I tell them
the battle of Manhattan was fought
near Naples.
Observations after first two weekg
in the ASTP: You don’t necessarily
need eight hours sleep—there’s lots
of math in physics as well as mathe
matics—that hour of free time be
tween 10 and 11 p. m. comes in
handy. 20 - 100 vision is not bad.
This program though is no push
over. Already we’ve lost eight men
out of twenty-five—they fiunked
out. And is this thing speeded up
one guy was absent three days
and missed 150 years of history, 50
pages of physics, and one complete
trigonometry course.
Observations after four weeks in
ASTP: You don’t necessarily need
six hours sleep—there’s lots of math
employed in chemistry as well as
math and physics—they cut it down
but that free .time between 10:30
p. m. and 11:00 is damn convenient.
Vision of 20 - 200 is not bad at alL
Observations after six weeks in
the ASTP: You don’t necessarily
need four hours sleep. I don’t mind
that math we have in physics, chem-
istry, mathematics, and mechanical
drawing—20 minutes is long for free
time anyway. What the heck if my
eyes are 20 - 400, I can still see.
Observations after eight weeks in
the ASTP: You don’t necessarily
need sleep—when they added mathe
matics to the military science course
it was too much—that free time of
ten minutes wouldn’t be bad if I
didn’t have to shine my shoes, make
my .bed, shave, shower, and prepare
the next day’s calisthenics period.
Besides, that seeing-eye dog is
mighty nice, and is very pretty they
tell me.

Out of sheer curitosity we decided
we’d like to know what changes in
Salem College those ingenious lit
tle Freshmen on third floor Clewell
would like to make if the power
were granted them to do anything
they liked. It didn’t take them long
to state their mind on possible im
provements. Stee-Gee, take notice!
Kitty Miller: “I’d like a maid,
whom I could summon with a buzzer,
to serve me breakfast in bed every
morning, and also to make my bed
up every day.”
Betty Hennessee: “I’d love an es
calator to carry me to and from
gym.”
Eva Martin Bullock: “I wish I
could have a room adjoining mine
where I eould keep Chan and Ina
P. with me.”
Martha Lou Heitman: “I think
they ought to have two pictures in
each room over the beds—one Of
Frank Sinatra, the other of Mr.
Holder.”
Connie Scoggins: “I’d just love
college without classes!”
Alice Carmichael: “I wish they’d
give us a week’s holiday to recuper
ate after each test.”
Margaret West; “I’d be happy if
they would install in each room a
chaise lounge, a soda fountain, a
candy bar, and a hot-dog stand!”
Pair Miller: “I think it.would be
nice if they installed in every room
an automatic record player, especi
ally tuned to Harry James.”
Mary Ann Linn: “I do wish we
could give a big dance and get
George Montgomery to come down.”
Marguerite Worth: “What could
be more wonderful than to equip
every bed with Beautyrest mat
tresses.”
Rosemary Cleveland: “I wish they
would set aside an hour before each
period, just to sleep in.”
Coit Redfearn: “I want five meals
a day. Also I wish we could have
permission to jitter,bug at formal
dances.”
Teau Council: “I’d like a 56 hour
day, of which 24 hours would be
used for sleeping.”
Mary Hunter Hackney: “I think
it would be nice if they gave us
rooms in which both roommates
could stand up at the same time
with their shoes on.”
Janie Mulhollem: “I’d like an
alarm clock with an automatic shov
el to wake me up in the morning,
push me out of bed, and feed me
breakfast.”
Martha Boatwright: “Make Sa
lem CO-EDI”
Third floor in unison: “AMEN!”
