THE SALEMITE
Students Win TwoYear Revenge
Page Three.
At. last the students of Salem
College have had their revenge . . .
ah sweet revenge! Since that fate
ful night in 1942 when the faculty
edged out a one point victory pver
the students they have had no
rest. The noble elders have jeered,
and ragged and by sheer threat
of another challenge have kept the
students on their knees for two
years—but now they may rise to
their full he'ight and again look the
world of professors in the face.
The great team came trotting,
single file, on to the court—each
and the hope of again beating the
students into submission, took his
seat on the bleachers. When they
had rested themselves compleftely
they charged out on to the court
to participate in violent and strenu
ous exercises to furthur prepare
them for the coming ordeal.
Captain and coach of the out
fit, Leight-foot McNeely, whispered
a few inspiring words to her team
as the whistle sounded for the
first quarter. Out standing in the
first quarter was Butch Hauser,
authority or wrestling, who by
charging, clipping, and grabbing in
general managed to keep the ball
well down into her team’s territory.
Butch, with the aid of Lib and
Gerry, did a beautiful job of out
witting—by means of their passes
the student players who in the
meantime were busily making goals.
In forward position 0. Averille and
Leight-foot kept the floor hot—in
the first quarter C. Averill dis
played to an amazed' audience all
of her fanciful shots and trick plays.
Miss Kirkland played a nice polite
game. In fact every time she re
ceived the ball she considerately
hajided it to a student player. This
helped eliminate a' good deal of
roughness and possible injuries.
Leight-foot set the example for her
team by making a basket—et the
end of the quarter the score stood—
students, 9 . . . faculty, 1.
Buring the time betwepn quarters
the remains of the 1942 Kaiser
School of Cheering blended their
voice into heart warming yeUs to:
re-inspire their team. Indeed these
hearty yeUs literally picked the I
profs off the floor and sent them
into the second quarter with nefw
fire in their blo-od—the new fire
being the Eeverand. We haven’t
fiigured out what he was playing,
yet; but the way he kept his hands
on his hips and went bouncing about
the floor was fairtly reminiscent of
Charlie Chaplin in his youthful days.
Nevertheless he was a great asset
to his team—for his method/ of
goal was shot by our spirited elders—
this brought the score up to 3 points
for profs and 24 points for students.
The third quarter brought forth all
of the hidden talent. I’m Pea
Green Compbell who had been up to
this time warming the side Unes,
now came forth amid a roar of ap
proval from his own mind whether
the was chasing the ball or dodging
it. He and the Eevercnd played a
bit of hand ball together and then
reuctony gave it back to the stu
dents. Also stepping in for an in
spiring bit of play in the third
quarter was Fitter Patter Byrd.
Aftfr tiring of playing guard in
Patter Byrd made up rules all ,of |
her own—which consisted of merely
holding both arms of her foreward
to prevent any play of the .ball
in her direction. Also up-and-at
-em Gelpin strolled in to make
a ringer. Bloomers Denman’s hands I
must be pretty sore from Claping I
for the ball—which when finally
eaved to her by Leight-foot, was
was beautifully fumbled.
The fourth quarter was by far
the most no'table. Everyone from
Butch to I’m Pea Green took p^t.
C. Averill tried more of her sharp
shooting. Daphne went in . . . Dophne
came out. Betty went in . . . Bett:f
came out. No amount of pleading
could persuade Fitter Patter to re
turn to the field of action. Even
the Bold Bullfighting Senorita
couldn’t brave the struggle aftCT
having gone out in the third quart
er (so as to see for herself what
was going on). Of course the faculty
didn’t ^ know—but that last quarter
amounted up to about twenty min
utes. And in spite of the extra, time
the score remained 40 to 11 . . .
40 being the studeijts’ points—

On a good ole windy day—
A lot more fun than sneaking
smokes
In a smelly loft of hay,
I never had but one “bought”
kite
It had a smiling face
It had a tail ‘bout ten miles long
Made of satin and lace,
You see, a kite just ain’t no good
Without a nice long tail;
So sis and me torn mom’s good
dress
So our yellow kite could sail,
We used old rags for homemade
kites
But a “bought” kite needed more
We ripped up mama’s favorite dress
And golly was she sore!
We sailed our kite for ‘bout an
hour
With laughter and with glee.
But gloom and darkness came our
way—
Our kite caught in a tree!

If you are eVer on third floor
Strong and happen to hear a
lusty voice shouting “Who wants
to go down and play basketball?”,
it is 'undoubtedly the voice of Virtie
Stroup. Virtie loves all sports, and
you have probably noticed the slend
er, medium height, blonde freshman,
pounding around the gymn after
a basketball, or playing a frantic
game of hockey last fall.
Virtie is one of a family of fight
ers. She has a brother and a father
in the Army, another brother in
the Marine Corps, and a Mother
who was an Army Nurse in the last
war. Vertie too has done a wonder
ful job of selling war stamps and
bonds during the bond drive.
Stay away from Vertie unless
you have plenty of vitamin B1
because she is one of those people
who are always going places and
doing things. She is up at 7:3P
and works sometimes two and three,
afternoons a week at the Sun Print-
on saving her money by walking
ing Office. Furthefrmore, she insists
home!
Vertie is an ardent animal lover,
and dogs are her special favorite.
Just mention the word dog and
she will launch into a detailed ac
count of the virtues and beauties
of, her own fox terrieg “Pooch”
who really seems to be a perfect
specimen. ,
After dogs, Virtie loves books
and plai^ to be a librarian. She’
likes almost any kind of book, but
poetry is her favorite. Whenever
she goes up town, she has to spend
a few minutes ,browsing around a
bookstore. A book, an apple, and
a Are, constitute her idea of para
dise.

enthusiasm, her energy, and her
EMILY HAEEIS
^es, we all know her! That dark-
haired, cute littlo junior who has
steadily refused to live anywhere
but in the Sister’s House during
her career at Salem. And by the
way, she is House President of that
fine institution. This year—she rules
her sixteen charges with an iron
hand, as Miss Byrd can readily
tell you.
Everyone knows Emily to be a
calm, efficient, and capable person—
she makes the dean’s list almost
every semester. She plans to be
a teacher, majoring in education,
and English.
But studying doesn’t claim nearly
all of her time—in spite of that
honor roll record. Bcsidje House
Fresident of the Sister’s, she is *
Assistant Buisness Manager of the
Salemite. She has lately taken up
riding, and as proof ask any one

exclusion. Yet she is still all for

to play bridge, smoke, read, and

she loves symphonies. ’
Emily is always friendly, sweet,
and willing to help others ati all
times. She’s lots of fun, a swell
person, and one we believe to be
truly representative of Salem.
