PAT CKOMMEUN
If you hear a merry voice whist
ling “How Sweet You Are” (words
slightly off-key) re-echo down the
busy hall of third floor Clewell and
gradually fade away into the shower
room, you may be fairly sure it be
longs to Pat Crommelin.
Pat, of the shower voice, has
twinkly brown eyes, long . brown
hair with bangs, a heart-warming
grin, and a friendly manner. Born
in Wiest Orange, New Jersey, she
later moved to Park Eidge, Illinois,
a suburb of Chicago. She graduated
from Main Township High School
there.
Art is her first love. To art stud
ents she is a familiar sight, sketch-
• ing busily in her blue jeans and push
ed up sweater sleeves. Asked what
else she likes, Pat sighs plaintively,
‘^Food.” She is a field for peanut
butter and cheese crackers—says she
at(? so much peanut butter the night
of Sophomore Court that she became
quite attached to it. She likes Frank
Sinatra but belongs to the society
of non-swooners.
Pat’s disiMDsition seems charming
and naive, but behind those beguil
ing cfyes lies an intelligent mind and
a sympathetic and understanding
nature. She is so naturally gregari
ous that living at the end of the
hall is a trial to her and she insist
ently invites all of Salem to come
up and see her some time, any old
time. It is a familiar sfcene when
Pat appears at your door, meanders
over to the bed, and plops down
with eagerness to begin an efngross-
ing conversation. ^
She has no particular plans for the
future, but is dreaming right now of
a white Christmas up North. This
captivating Yankee loves the South,
however, and boasts that she is rap
idly catching on to its mysteries.
ANNE HOBSON
Surely, you haven’t missed her,
that tall dark-headed senior from
Salisbury. From the wild tales of
her experiences there, you can tell
she really loves the place. In fact,
she spends every spare week-end at
home. At the least excuse she will
go into a lengthy humorous tale
about her family.
Hobson, as she is called by her
friends, is that senior who had the
brass to announce to the girls at her
table that they were to dress for
dinner on the following night—and
they did it too. Anne is around
five seven and has dark brown nat
urally curly hair and brown eyes.
Her walk is quite characteristic of
her. -She loves good looking tweed
suits and when she dresses up she is
capable of looking quite good. Anne
is feasy to get along with and good
natured. In fact, if you ever need
a fourth in a bridge game she will
nearly always play. She knows her
cards too.
Hobson is forever broke and
doesn’t mind admitting it. She will
even go so far as to wash your
sweaters for a little extra “dough
re mi.” Thanksgiving she played
“piggy bank” in,person and asked
for “only pennies please,” so she
could get home.
If you are ever lonely and down in
the dumps go to see Hobson and she
will talk ^t right out of you, for
she loves to get in bull sessions and
spends much of her time in the
Smoke House indulging in the “Art
of Conversation.”
She knows exactly what you’re talk
ing about now when you mention
sugarbread, hominy and scupper-
nongs.
Her statement to the press—“I’m
just a twerp down South.” En
chanting is the word for Pat.
These things I like-
the man in the moon with his silly
face
gurgling sounds a little babe makes
the enfolding darkness of the night
golden sun and its radiant light
the smell of hot biscuits and coun
try ham
the whistled tune of the colored boy,
Sam
cheer of a happy, smiling face
the scolding I get for trumping an
ace
bell like laughter of a Juliet
talking to friends unexpectedly met
Jny sequin dress all shimmering and
gold
radio programs from study time stole
red and orange leaves of early fall
the joy of finding a lost golf ball
eating an apple while reading a
book
snow lightly falling, and ice on the
brook
Santa Claus, holidays, folks, sleep
and night—
Sum it all up and you’ll find—I like
life!
—Mary Ernest.

FILTH COLUMN
REPORTING:
Well, Thanksgiving is gone and
we now have the Christmas holidays
to look forvrard to. Helen McMil
lan spent a whirling time in New
York and West Point, second time
this year. More power to you!
Katherine Traynham and Lib Bern
hardt went to State over the week
end and report that the dance was
almost “prewar” in character.
Betty Harris’ holiday didn’t stop
Sunday what with that crowd she
took home with her. Sue Willis re
turned from Washington all aglow
with news pf Jake. Gloria Holmes,
Meredith Boaze and Vawter Steele
took in Wake Forest and had a won
derful time, but then they usually
do at W. r. It seems to us that
Julia Garrett’s sympathies are trans
ferring — is this the third of fourth
weekend with Phil? Marguerite
Worth is still excited over her trip
to Raleigh.
Mae Noble spent most of her time
with Thacker while in Charlotte and
seems mighty pleased about the
whole thing. Of course, we couldn’t
have missed V. V.’s shining counte
nance—beaming about hefr trip to
Athens. And were mighty sorry
Dot didn’t get to go. Bill was sorry
all week-end, too.
Margaret Winstead keeps up the
morale of the seniors—at least SHE
has dates. Mac and Lea went to
Anderson to take in the wedding of
a friend. Everybody’s doing it! Did
you get a glint at Mot Sauvain’s
ring over the week-end. It’s really
beautiful.
Also welcome home to Cootie, Nan
cy Leisris, Mildred Lee, Franny Yel-
verton and Mot. We’ll all be alum
nae someday. Virginia Gibson went
to Suffolk over the holidays and it
seems an Ensign up there is very in
teresting. And who hasn’t heard of
Ella Lou’s and Nellie’s trip to Ft.
Bragg? Katherine Fort went to a
dance down there during the holi
days—ummmmm.
“Meatball’ got the surprise of her
life Sunday night when she got back
and why not after that telegram?
Butch and Jimmy spent Thanksgiv
ing together. Looks like a silver
goblet, after all! Wink Wall and
Senora showed Tarboro how we R. S.
on holidays. From the looks of the
infirmary everybody had a big week
end, every bed was filled by Sunday
night with some upstairs.
Things are looking up for the
dance ... we nominate Jones of 2nd
floor Bitting as date bureau. So far
she’s.supplied ten and applicants are
still pouring in—telephone 2-0312.
“Tap” must have turkeyed too
much for she didn’t return until
Wednesday night. And Hobson is
still gone. Turkey? Calls from
Tennessee are beginning to be a
habit with “Booty.” I guess that’s
consoling after an old flame engaged
to the other girl.
An orchid to Teau—and we do
mean that lierally. And after all
those letters in one week. My, My.
What was the cause of that hilarious
trip downtown Sunday, Ellen? It
must be true that “an old flame
never dies.” Receiving Buck’s pic
ture may have made a hit with
“Hack” but Don ain't struck out
yet.
It is not “home sweet home” for
Heitman. Come Christmas, she’s
Citadel bound. The campus won’t
seem the same without paratroop
boots. What’s Annabel going to do
while Bill is away on maneuvers?
Coit At last?? And he’s coming
Saturday!
Big dating in the Day Student’s
center. Say what Henny?—You too
Kityy? Do people ’spose to run
around laughing when dates don’t
eome. Quit grinning Bunny. Air
planes are wonderful inventions, are
n’t they, Helen Bobbbutt Iha for
blind dates—me and Betty Bell.
Fag keeps coming back since the last
dance. ..Margaret West has a big
date for Saturday night — but for
the dance? Personally I like the
moonlight too.
Speaking of Thanksgiving —
Beskwith really had fun. His fur
lough sho’ was timely. ..Jean Young
blood has been walking on pink
clouds since that cablegram from
Frank came. Every Salem girl has
three inalienable rights—“Life, lib
erty, and pursuit.” If you won’t
take our word for it, ask Janie.
Mary Lewis went to many a IT.
S. O. dance over the weekend. Fran
ces Musgrove is dating one of the
numerous Marines this weekend but
not the one. Grace Lane is being
mighty quiet about her V. M. I.
weekend, .but she does say it was
fun . . . Did you see Midshipman
Joslin at the A. A. Banquet?
“Charlie” Watson reports that
she enjoyed her trip to Virginia
very much. Have you noticed how
disappointed Norma Rhodes is when
is there isn’t a letter every day
from Dixon?
Mary Ernest just recieved an
answer from the “love letter” she'
had to write at the command of a
sophomore—Wonder why the West
Pointer delayed in answering? Laura
Hine and her Med. student can de-
finitly be classified as “staedies”
now.
Totherow says she is looking for
ward to John’s coming home. What’s
gonna happen to her other fellows?
The news of the week is Aileen’s
cablegram from Ed—well and happy!
Congratulations. And so we’ll say
goodbye until after the dance when
we are sure there will be some
choice bits to be reported. Sayonora.
