Miss Shush
SALEM CELEBRITY
The Salemite cannot offer you
new furs, niiiid service, an uirplane,
or a trip to Sun Valley, BUT the
first person who submits a correct
solution to Salem’s Miss Shush will
get a free ticket to the movies!
Bring the answer and explanation
of the clues (there are three of
them) to the Salemite office not
later than tomorrow morning:
Put on y«ur thinking caps and
give this game a try.
The saint had his blackbirds,
but didn’t have a pie.
And autos come in many hues
But why I’ll 'never know, do
I
yoose?
Sad Sophomore
by Jane Pointer
I sat with almighty sophomores
in Old Chapol on Tuesday after-,
noon as we awaited'the test of our
extensive knowledge. All eyes were
on the speaker as he said, with one
hand in the air and one hand
holding his watch,
“Keady now! Begin!”
I stared at the first page, and it
just stared right back at me.
Could I answer all those (juestions
in just 30 minutes? Impossible! An
eraser squeaked as someone hur
riedly tried to put in an after
thought. Time was fleeting by!
Everyone was a page ahead of me,
I was sure. My pencil seemed to
stick to the page—someone had evi
dently put glue on the end of it.
One or tw'o snickers filtered
through the room and found echoes
here and there. Five minutes later
I found the reason for the laughter
when my gaze landed on the ques
tion.
ilaroon is a shade of:
(a) yellow
(b) black
(c) red
(d) green
(e). brown
My laugh echoed alone for every
one knows maroon is a shade of
brown, or is it green. W-ell, eeny,
meeny, miny, mark again, to quote
C. Taylor.
I’reseiitly a tiny green fly buzzed
around niy head and came to rest
on the tip of my pencil. He sat
tliere twiddling his legs, but I had
to stop thinking of him and finish
tlie page. Then I came to my down-
■fall. How many hours in p day?
Now T know that Tuesday, Wednos-
and all other days in the week
have 24 hours so evidently this p
. would be the same. But none
the answers were anywhere near
'■.®t simple. Did p djiy have any-
'*"g to do vrith D-Day or V-J
ay?
At that moment my thoughts were
interrupted by: “Stop, don’t go
“''y further, even if you haven’t
finished the section. You may have
” ten minute rest.”
^ ambled out of the building with
One thought—I needed a pop-
I'li^ thought
^ “ad any sense, I w'onder how I
dreamed ,jp gygjj ^ fantastic idea.
' that moment I felt like the
('^ttibest mortal in the world.

JunioT'Senior
Goes ’Round
By NANCY CARLTON
Oh, the music goes round and
round, and it came out rose, yellow,
and aqua—at the Junior-Senior Ca
rousel last Saturday night. It float
ed through and around walls of
streamers which were gathered to
gether on a center ]iole. White Ca
rousel horses acted as alphabet guides
for lost dance partners.
The upper class music notes under
the direction of Wiley Kiser were all
there — going round and round.
Daz^ed by the stunning decorations
of Sal and Boney one note, “ A
Sharp,” lost his j)itch and fell flat
on the gymnasium floor. He scream
ed for aid from his fellow notes, but
the voices of Salemites were strong
er. This is what helpless “A Sharp”
heard:
Isn’t Bryant’s white orchid tremen
dous?”
“How about Fisher’s five baby or
chids?”
“Mary Hunter’s dress is a perfect
dream.”
“Liza, Kat and Genna look good,
don’t they? All their dates are good
dancers.”
‘ ‘ Poor Gaither. She just had a wis
dom tooth pulled.”
“Did you hear about Bouchi’s
Wes? He flew in from West Point
just in time tonight.*
“Have you met the brothers?
Virtie’s, Elaine’s, Mary Harriet’s,
HaUle’s and Sut’s are all here.”
“Doesn’t Tina Gray have on a
pretty dress.”
“Margaret Williams is dating Kim
Kinney. I like that name!”
“Who is Eva Martin with? Oh,
yes. Ralph Lawrence.”
“This is the first dance that Hen
ry’s Bill has missed in two years.
It’s a shame he’s in Maryland.”
As “A Sharp” listened to this
chattcr, he was breathing his last
phrase; the low altitude was kill
ing him. His last words were,
“Won’t someone please write a
song entitled “The'Lost Note?”
Music Briefs
Salem musicians do not hibernate'
all winter long. They “com© out”
once in a while. Sara Haltiwanger
took quite a fling over the Easter
Holidays. Besides spending a w^cek
in New York, which is quite enough
in itself, she auditioned for Mr.
James Friskin at Julliard and real
ly held up Salem’s reputation. From
hearsay it seems that Dr. Vardell
h;is a little competition now: Sara
is “just crazy” about Mr. Friskin.
A SENSATIONAL OFFEK!!! Dr.
Vardell will write an original and
truly appropriate composition for
a wedding, if both bride and groom
are two of former pupils.
Last Saturday Nancy Kidenhour,
a graduate jn j)iano last year, and
B. C. Dunford, u former' pupil of
Dr. Vardell, wore married in Con
cord. The higlilight of the wedding
was “The Wedding Song,” written
especially for this wedding and play
ed by the composer, Dr. V'ardell. Te
quote the Dean, “It’s Komantic.”

Incidents And
Coincidence
Reported by Porter
Vacation is over, but most of us
aren’t over vacation. Certainly is
a small world — small vacation too.
Hut long enough for us to spend
sleep-less nights and rest-less days
at home or not at home.
Carolyn Taylor and Ann Mills, for
example, made a tour of Philadel-
phiti. New York and “The Board
walk of Atlantic City.” Virginia
Mclver and Sarah Haltiwanger
spent their vacation as “Babes on
Broadway” and also took a side
trip to Boston to see an ex-Salem
co-ed, Sarah’s brother,at Harvard.
No, he’s not in a bottle.
Janie Morris stumbled into Ro
berta Huffman in a New York shoe
store; a sailor on Times Square that
she met her freshman year; and
Nancy McCoU on Fifth Avenue.
Other Salemite sight seers, shop
pers and theatcr-goers not missed by
Miss Morris were Trances Carr, Re
becca Brown, Louise Ziglar and Al-
lene Taylor.
Collette Spiegelberg; Joy Martin,
Bobby Thorne, Andy Rivers, Joan
Roesser, Helen Kessler and Claire
Phelps mot under the clock at the
Biltmore Easter iSIonday. Not for-
a freshman class meeting, you under
stand.
At the other end (;f the Eastern
Seaboard, basking in' the sun, not
the “Moon Over Miami” were
Laura Harvey and Carolyn Dunn.
Black Mac Clapp also got her share
of sunburn at Miami Beach.
Inmdentally, Nancy Lutz is pic
tured in the current issue of the
West Point publication. The Point
er, as one of the few “Femmes of
tlie Corps.”
Dottle Covington, lone Bradshaw
and Eaton Seville really had wan
derlust; they tripped to New Or
leans with their families for a de
light-full tiolidaze.
Mary Helen James and Peggy
Davis fraternized at State, Pika Ball,
that is. Joyce Burke did the same
at Knoxville. Evie Knox went to
Annapolis; Porter Evans to West
Point; Peggy Gray to a “ship
dance” in Norfolk . . . and all
Salemites aggregated April lOth at
you know where.
