Cradle Song properties are to be
supplied by Beverly Newman and
her crew. Marion Gaither and Bar

Nancy Eidenhour is responsible for

committee are planning a publicity

An interesting highlight in the
Cradle Song’s production is that
the male lend is being played by
a very popular member of Salem’s
faculty. The Doctor, another male
role, is played by a prominent mem
ber of Winston-Salem’s Little Thea
ter.
Posters and further publicity for
the Cradle Song will appear on the

Seniors Folloiv Tradition,
Plant Memorial Tree, Ivy
by Jayne Bell
Each year a bit of Salem ground
is dug up by the Senior Class, and
ivy and a tree are planted as me
morials to their class. This cu.stom
dates back to 1898 when the Senior
class initiated this idea.
Bound and indexed in the Acad
emy Eecord is the account of each
class performance since 1900. A
grave account is given for the class
of that year. With serious faces
and amid a general air of solemnity,
the officers, one by one, grasped the
trowel, and proceeded to do the
planting.”
In 1901 an editorializing com
ment was recorded as, “We hope
that our memory will always remain
as fresh and green as the ivy we
have planted.”
A “programme” given in 1909
lists such quaint facts as, “the
class president. Miss Carrington,
made a pleasant talk, and with
bright songs the ivy was planted.”
Briefness marks the 1913 program
which is listed as follows: “Song:
‘Alma Mater.’ Address: iliss Leli-
man. Song: ‘Green Young Fresh
man.’ Class Yells.”
Amid the Machine Age of 1945,
the ceremony was carried out and
above the tooting of horns and
crashing of cars at the local stop
light. Nell Jane Griffin, vice-pres
ident of the senior class, shouted
the presentations and Dr. Eondthal-
er boomed the acceptance speeches,
as the seniors, student body, facul
ty and visitors listened solemnly.
A flowering (louble red-buds)
peach tree was planted on the
square. English ivy was planted
(in hopes that it will climb) pn one
side of the Salem College marker on
front campus. And with a final
toot from a passing car this tradi
tional ceremony was concluded for
the class of 1945-46.
Nominations for the May Queen,
Maid of Honor, and the May Court
begins today, November 9. Boxes
have been placed in Main Hall,
Clewell and Bitting Dormitories.
Nominations will be placed in these
boxes until Wednesday, November
14, at 3:00 o’clock, at which time
they will be closed.
Post-nomination petitions will be
accepted up to November 16. Pe
titions should be given to Julia
Garrett, Jayne Bell, Helen Eobbins,
Martha Boatwright, or Coit Eed-
fearn. Petitions must contain a
minimum of twenty-five names.
Election of May Queen and Maid
of Honor will take place Monday
night, November 19, at 7:30 in the
Old Chapel. Tuesday night the
Court will be elected.
Julia Garrett is May Day Chair
man, and Jayne K. Bell is Vice-
Chairman. The committees are as
follows: Election, Helen Eobbins,
chairman, Coit E-odfearn and Mar
tha Boatwright; Music, Janie Mul-
hollem; Costumes, Henrietta Wal
ton; Programs, Betsy Thomas; Dress
es, Greta Garth; Dances, Anne Cart
er; and Wee Blew Inn, Jane Jeter.
In order to clarify confusion
which might result, it should bo
understood that a girl must receive
a comparatively large number of
nominations, more than one, before
she will be n candidate in the final
selection. Therefore, the more stud
ents who frequent the ballot boxes
the better chance the favorite
choices have to become May Day
candidates.
Further announcements and in
structions will bo given later by
Julia Garrett, May Day Chairman.
