Feb. 9, 1945. THE SALEMITE Page Three. Presenting ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Rachel pinkston iJeiU' Susie, I have just come back from a snioke house chat with Rachel Pink- % stoii. You know Raeliel—that tall, slender, senior from Fayetteville. In Fayetteville she is known as “the little Pinkston,” being the young est of six children. (Three brothers two sisters, who incidently are 6x-8alemites). At Salem she is known as “Pink”. Rachel is another one of the fortunate Kconomics and Sociology t":ijorH. Slie makes wonderful marks, '*ut is not the studious type by any 'neans. A-matter-of-fact, she’s one of the most versatile girls of the I Seniors. Frequently (but not too!) you’ll see her in the smoke house niakiiig a grand slam, and smoking a Oaiuel. The next minute you might See her buried in a cozy corner with best-.seller on her lap. And to watch her “trip tlie light fantastic” you’d know that dancing is one of her favorite pastimes. But let me tell you, Susie, she’s also a swift basket- *'all player if there ever was one! she feels equally at home on ^he badminton or tennis court. Next year P. S. (post Salem) fiiichel will don a Red Cross uniform, 'iiid she ho]>es to go overseas. Dur- Uig lier four years here at College she’s been on Stce Gee, the V cab'inet, A. A. Council, active in Red Cross "'ork. and a memlier of Who’s Who. l*')u’t you think that those are ample (even superlative!) qualifications for her future career? I do! Well, Susie, I’ve given j’ou a ''erbal description, and I'm enclosing ^ snapshot so that you can get a Slinijjse of Rachel Pink.ston. Till we meet again— A. 0. Announces Engagement Jlr. and Mrs. W. P. Kincaid, .Ir. “f Lincoluton announced Sunday the engagement of their daughter, Alice, to 8/Sgt. J. Everett Aycock. The "’edding will take place in .Tune.

C. and is now stationed at Grand Is land, Nebraska in the Ground Crew' of the Army Air Cory>s. Alaska to the (Cont’d. from page 1) oil, snow and berries. Southwestern Alaska . . . Mr.s. Schwalbe’s home is in Bethel . . . ■s beautifully ornamented with flowers in summer. In the autumn there are lovely sunsets. Mrs. Schwalbe described the brilliance of the stars and other beauties of God’s nothern creations.

Johnny Nelson is the Alaskan Orphan whom Salem girls support 'vith their various gifts. Mrs. Schwalbe described Johnny as a short and fat jolly little fellow. Mrs. Schwalbe expressed the great *>eed for teachers and missionaries in Alaska. She urged Salem girls to consider this field in planning for the future. ... SOPHIA BOWEN F'ollowing in the footsteps of her sisters, Sophia Bowen, in Sep tember 1044, enrolled as a member of the freshman class of Salem College. Although she is a true Winstoninn, Sophia is a boarding student; she lives in Clewell, where she, w’ith her charming personality, has endeared herself to the other residents. Sophia has chosen to major in Home Economics &jnce she wants to make that a lif6 long hobby in partnership with a certain local freshman who is a member of the Beta Fraternity at the University of North Carolina. This accounts for her frequent trips to the Hill. It is often said that one cannot ilo two things at ttie same time and do then! well, but Sophia has prov ed that that statement is false. She does loads of visiting on third floor ('lewell and at the same time make '’'rst r.'ite grades in her academic work!

It makes the world go around . . . and especially at times like this, with the Valentine dance tomorrow night! And what an event that’s going to bo!

MissKnowlesTalks About Etiquette “ You are judged by your actions; the school is judged by your ac tions,” said Miss Helen Knowljps, dean of Salem Academy, w'hen she spoke to a group of Salem students in the day students’ center Wednes day night. Miss Knowles was pre sented by the 1. R. S. council as a part of their program for the im provement of campus etiquette. Miss Knowles began her talk by enumerating the qualities of a well- mannered person. Kindness, she said, is the most essential quality, and then self-control which gives one jjoise. In exjdaining the rules of table eti(]uette, for both formal and informal dinners. Miss Knowles was assisted by several academy stu dents who demonstrated the “do’s” and the “ don’ts” at the table. Be sides table etiquette, which she em phasized, she also offered several suggestions in regard to conduct at dances and on dates. STANDARD BUILDING & LOAN ASSOCIATION Belk-Stevens Co. DEPT. STORE ★ The home of better Values I ^ g Cor. 5th and Trade Sts. g Getting Along With Men by Efiie Ruth Maxwell There is only one way to get along with men. You must twist them firm ly around your little finger and keep them there. Older men are usually much easier to bring under control than younger ones. Wide-eyed glances, a few bits of flattery flung in now and then, and a pretense at great interest in the thing nearest hi’s heart, be it beast, bank, or grand-child, is generally sufficient to bring a umn over forty in line, and you must not under-estimate the importance of these older men. The}' probably will not invite you to the Spring Dances at dear old IT. N. C., but a ride back to school, a box of candy, or chance remark to Papa that he has a charm ing daughter are not to be scorned. If fate should send this older man to your, best beau with a word of praise, then you are indeed hicky— unless, of course, your best beau is the jealous type, in which case it would be well for you to devote all your time to him. Regretfully 1 turn to younger men. 1 say regretfully because 1 do not have much to advise you, not be cause I do not like younger men but because I know that tricks employ ed for old men W'ork here only in a moderate degree. The young ones are too wary. They see right through your methods. Therefore your watch word 'should be subtlety. Every case should be studied separately as no two boys are alike and each requires a different attack. Refraining from mixing your attacks will keep you on your toes, but it is very worthwhile because the minute you try a forward approach on u backward boy you are sunk. Another difficulty in getting along with boys is following their moods— and as far as I know they all have them. To be a gay young thing around- a boy who just blew out two of his dad’s automobile tires is de finitely wrong. You had best help him find out how to get new ones and then gradually remind him of the' humor in life—the time you ripped off the back fender of your dad’s ear, say. The humor must al ways be at somebody else’s expense besides his own — and preferably yours. May I suggest that you start your finger-twisting with your nuile re latives. This w'ill give you good practice and also keep you occupied so that you will be satisfied with a minimum number of non-relative young men. Only those girls with unusual endowments are able to keep nuire than three or four boys well- spiralled around the fifth digit—and the majority of us are without those unusual endowments. Getting along with men is a long and arduous road which' should be traveled in dainty high-heeled shoes. In case I ever get to the end and be come, a real femme fatale, I will let you know. s Continued From Page One solved, strict censorship enforced, and concentration camps established. ‘ ‘ Remember the first days of Hit ler when ])eo]ilc laughed him off,” was the challenge of this straight forward lecturer.
