March 5, 1948 THE SALEMITE Page Five Spring Revives Salem Seissiety Parties Open Social Whirl A glitteriug round of parties and engagements highlighted social acti vities on Salem campus during the past week. Because Salemite report ers were invited to only a few of the 'events, we are not able to carry a complete coverage of the news, BUT: On last Thursday evening at 10 o’clock little Miss Tootsie Gillespie was entertained at a surprise birth day party in the catacombs of Main Hall. At approximately 10; 03, Tootsie could be heard clattering over the stones approaching the room (She was lovely in batiste evening wear). It was dark, but as she entered, the lights were snapped on and her com rades sang, “Happy Birthday”. Her only comment was: “Ohhhh,” as she clutched the door for support. The room was lovely—decorated with white paper streamers. An im posing snakeplant flanked by burn ing white Chesterfields centered the table. Delightful strawb*ry tarts were enjoyed by the eight attractive members of the Salem Soshal Set who attended. Afterwards, the group was charm ed to hear music from a selection of classical and popular records—birth day gifts to the 16 year-old honoree. At 11 o’clock good-byes were said to the hostesses, and the little group clattered away, down through the catacombs of Main Hall. After-refreshment guests were Harry Lee, and Big Indian and Nigh tie Romingo. ' * ♦ ♦ ♦ * Contrary to all reports, Marion Gaither is NOT engaged to The Doc tor. Her lovely 115-carat diamond ring was the gift of her suite-mate, Barbara Folger who received it from Dr. Ben Cooper of a neighboring town. But Lib Price IS engaged to Char lie, and has a gorgeous ring! (Lib is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Price, and Charlie is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wentz. A formal announ cement from this happy young cou ple, about to embark on the turbu lent sea of matrimony, will appear in a subsequent issue of the Salem ite.) Sally Truelove has red roses from her man-at-Davidson, Va. They were attractively arranged in an im ported crystal bowl which centered the salmon pink bridge table in Mr. Davy Jone’s Locker last Saturday evening when Miss TruelQve invited a few of her friends in for an even ings entertainment. The guests were restricted—to Misses Elaine Singer, Dot Arrington, and lone Bradsher. Join the Fun^ Watch The Birdie by Ann Eisey “Is it a birdf Is it a plane! Is it Superman?” “No, silly. It’s a shuttle-cock.” “What?" “A shuttle-cock. You know what they are, don’t you? They look like —Well! They’ve got—Oh! You know. One of those things you play badminton with. One of those—” ‘'*0h! I know what you mean— Now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t — af fairs.” ^ “Yes! That’s the right idea.” All you women with strength en ough to hobble down to the gym, be sure to come down and watch the games. (You can bring your knitt ing!)

Keep your eye on the bulletin board in Main Hall for the the lead. ■ Boney Investigates Easter Outfits by Betsy Boney The gals at Salem have begun their spring shopping in a big way. It’s nothing out of the ordinary. to see them stumble in after an exhaust ing shopping spree laden virith boxes —hat boxes, shoe boxes, dress boxes. Hats with delicate pastel flowers and filmy wisps of net, shoes in fabulous colors and cottons with FABULOUS prices. We only hope Dad’s blood pressure can survive and his pocket book can stand the strain. Oussie Garth and Sara Clark (pictured above) are typical of the spring shoppers. If we were to have a fashion show I would pick— Gussie Garth’s striking blue faille coat. It’s princess with a cape col lar. Definitely “good this season” is the double-breasted front with shining silver buttons. Lou Myatt’s navy and chartreuse suit strictly from Vogue. The brief navy jacket and the soft chic lines of the flowing ballerina skirt are enchanting. Ann Wicker’s gay prints and new cottons. She also found a smart looking pair of spectators at the Guild .House. They ’re brown calf and white suede with heel and toe in. Tootsie Gillespie’s smart navy gabardine suit. The jacket is full and dipped in a scalloped effect in the back. The skirt is straight. Betsy Schaum’g champagne doe skin suit, chosen to match her wild mink furs. Dot Arrington’s grey and red en semble: an elephant grey suit with a tiny red pin stripe in the fabric. With this Dot is wearing red shoes and bag and a gay little grey»chap- eau with a shaded grey ribbon. Dot Massey’s exciting black and white silk print. It features a low Continur>d on Back Pa(f«) If you care—then you’ll share Give to W. S. S. F. Fund First Kiss • by Fay Stickney You have your favorite memory— a song, a scene, or a person. I have one, too. My first kiss. Of course, at that time, I was very unsophisticated and innocent; per haps too young to realize the import ance of the occasion. But I don’t think I was wholly unaware that it would happen; Don’t yoh think it only natural to know when you are about to be kissed? I do. I can remember how handsome ho was as he bent down. I felt so small. He was by far the best looking fellow I had ever seen. He was so tall, with dark wavy hair, and a bright quick smile. I couldn’t even see around his shoulders. Four, years of college football helped to develop his shoulders. , The first time Robert saw me, he said I was beautiful and there was but one other woman in his life. Despite his frankness, I loved him. It was a love that has never died. It seems to grow stronger. The day it happened was not in spring, but a' cold bleak day in October. A strong mnd was howl ing outside. Yet in his arms, I was warm—feverish with excitement and pride. He was nervous but I wasn’t. I guess I was too young. Little did I realize that our first kiss was the beginning of something so wonder ful and cherished as our friendship. I hUd been literally swept off my feet. I was in his arms, close to his quaking heart and powerless to resist his affection. My heart was thumping too. I was speachless! It was one of the happiest, most thrilling moments of my life, He kissed me. ‘ With that, my father handed me back to my mother. And then, he j kissed her. You see, he had a brand new baby daughter. Carter Reveals Faculty Data i by Carter Bead FLASH . . . Contrary to all previous reports members of the Salem faculty are human' beings. This astounding statement was released today by the Public Relations office and they have offered as proof of their theory the following facts. In the field of literature Miss Shamburger and Miss Smith have each had something published in noteworthy magazines like the Sat urday Keview of Literature arid the Atlantic Monthly. Not to be out done in claims to fame Miss Baynes was, in days long since gone by, tennis champion of Winston-Salem. Miss Hedgecock nearly flunked English Composition under Miss Byrd but today she is doing very well for herself by writing a news paper column under the name of Beth Tartan. Mr. Powell (alias Hotspur) was seen with his convertible and sev eral members of the faculty at the Plantation Qlub recently. Mr. Campbell was a servant for his country in the World War—one that is. Dean Hixson will be able to trans late High Hittite when she returns to Salem next fall. Dr. Jordan does not play bridge because he can’t keep track of trumps—wonder how he managed to remember all the exceptions in French verbs. There it is, a hodge podge of little known facts about well known people. Some claim that it makes them human, .others can’t see what difference it makes. Draw your own conclusions. The Comrades Salute Flag Sick at Home Mr. Snavely has been confined at home with flu since last Friday. He is not expected to return to work for another week. .. Miss Claire Phelps, who went home last week-end to celebrate her birth day, has not returned to school. She is suffering from intestinal flu and will not be back for several days.
