American Girls Amaze
New English Professor
^ by Joy Martin
An English accent, a small mous
tache, light brown hair—that’s Dr
Howard Hall. But, there is much
more to know about this newcomer
to our faculty than just these charac
teristics.
Born in England, he is amazed at
the freedom exercised by the Amer
ican girls. Traveling alone, dating
without chaperones, and their abili
ty to do "almost anything in the
world ’ ’ are a few of the outstanding
differences he points out. Just be
cause we are “differriit,” does not
mean that he doesn’t^ agree with
some of our viewpoints. To talk
with an American girl is stimulat
ing, he feels, and thinks that is
largely due to the confidence be
tween children and adults in the
United States.
When asked if he liked our old
Southern town. Dr. Hall said that
it was very gratifying to find that
places he had read about existed.
The dates which we honor, he feels,
reflect a glorious history and back
ground. The colonial builtlings, the
brick w-alks and the shady trees all
lielp to make an atmosphere which
he thinks is delightful, as well as
educational.
Dr. Hall is constantly amazed at
the number and variety of sweets
and candies which are jjroduced in
Uie United States. In England, he
explained, one is content with a box
of chocolates, but such an assort
ment is confusing. Ginger beer, a
traditional English thirst-quencher is
replaced by ginger ale in the States,
although they do not taste at all
alike.
Dr. Hall is a well qualified fencer,
liaving learned how to fence with
an open blade in Heidelberg. He
explained that it is a fine and fast
game. He is hoping to interest
Some Salem girls in this sport and
perhaps give them a few lessons.
Our new professor is anxious to
get acquainted with the Salemites
and will welcome anyone who wants
to drop in for a chat.

Salem really put on a preview
of fall fashions last week-end. Sal
emites attending the Long-Sprunt
reception really looked smart. Dres
sed in satins and crepes, thev really
I R S’d in the fall fashions.
Jane Bowman, freshman, w^as at
_the club later in a smart looking
brown faille dress. The skirt was
ballerina length, and she wore brown
suede sandals on her feet.
Jo Patterson looked cute in her
hooded plaid suit. So right for the
windy city.
Dot Massey has a new dubbonet
suit with the new longer jacket.
Very good this year.
A furore was created in the din
ing hall ^ Sunday by a new student
dressed in a wonderful black dress.
It was off the shoulder and caught
in at the waist with a huge rhine
stone doo-dad.
Ann Southern has a beautiful
hooded, grey corduroy coat, fast
ened with silver buttons and cuffed
at the wrists. \
Mary Davis’s sister is going to
hand-paint a dress for her. S^
plans to have it made from heavy
white crepe, with the side drape
hand painted. Sounds tres chic,
Mary.
As the school year is just getting
started, and as cold weather is set
ting in, we can expect to see many
new and smart looking fashions
around campus. Your editor will
try to bring to your attention the
“eye catchers”, aftd a fashion show
will be given on campus soon to let

strikes have put thousands out of
work. Since the U. fe. and Russia
h»ve been unable to agree on a gov
ernor for the territory, the Allied
Military Command within their re
spective zones will continue govern
ing. Unless some decision is made
soon this general strife has little
chance of being stopped.
The Local Scene
It seems, despite the water short
age, that the Winston-Salem Fair
will go on as scheduled. This was
decided by the Board of Aldermen
in a meeting the first of the week.
Certain precautionary measures will
be taken, but the merry-go-round
can still operate. On the same- sub
ject, it seems that a mild form of
hysteria has gripped some Winston-
Salem residents who have been
running to their druggists for cures
to help their stomach troubles,
caused, they say, by the water sup
ply. Authorities announce that
there is no foundation whatsoever
for such a disturbance.
the new Salemites (and the old ones
too) gaze on “the New Look” on
our campus. Salemites should al
ways be well-groomed, and maybe
we can get a few ideas on how we,
the average students, like the larger,
wider, fuller, slimmer, fashions of
’47.

Yes, Beryl Davis knows how to pick a tune... knows how .
to pick a cigarette too. “I tried many different brands and
compared,” says Beryl Davis—“I found Camels suit me best.”
That’s how millions learned from experience that there
are big differences in cigarette quality. Try Camels
“T-Zone” (Taste and Throat). Let your own experience
tell you why more people are smoking Camels
than ever before!
