The Sunday
Style Parade
by lone Bradsher
Prom a handbook exam in 1945...
“For what occasion do Salemites
dress up?” My brain was consider
ably strained, my brow furrowed,
at this question. I bent lower over
my test paper and doodled pencil
marks in the margin and thought.
“Well...at ,Clhristmas...Easter.. or
for church..” I looked to my senior
advisor...for a hint, please! Finally
it came to me...SUNDAY! That is
the day that Salemites dress up.
But, somehow it it for such a brief
while that it is difficult to get a im
pression of what anyone is wearing.
Last Sunday at lunch, I slowly
strolled into the refectory and look
ed around. (Keminded me of the
“looking over” that occurred at
the frosh dance last Saturday
night,) I stood behind my chair
facing the door and waited for the
remains of the weekend exodus.
Not long did I wait before I saw
Lisa Munk come in wearing a love
ly grayish organdy. It was simply
made and had a swirling skirt. As
I looked closer, I saw that the gray
ish effect came from a layer of
black organdy over the white.
Following Lisa was Janet Zimmer,
who wore a rich, purple moire. Her
dress had a square neck with a
flange in front, but could be worn
off-shoulder.
Bet Hayes came in with her date,
and she was wearing a royal blue
satin dress with a drape at the side.
Susan Johnson was also wearing
a severe blue satin. The dress was
emphasized with rhinestones as
accessories.
Betty Griffin was well-dressed
for a crisp autumn day in a three-
piece suit. The suit itself was a
gray and white tweed, and the coat
was the new shorter length.
Then I saw a group of seniors
come in. Bitsy Green came in first
wearing a fall silk, the design of
which was red ;and white. The,
stylish touch was the matching
bolero.
Mary Patience McFall was wear
ing a toast, wool dress. The sleeves
were long and the neck high. The
interest was in a double, round
peplum.
Joyce Privette was wearing a
suit of the newer two-tone style.
The coat was beige, and the skirt
coffee brown. The pockets were
edged in the same brown to carry
through the effect.
After lunch, in the smokehouse
of Bitting, I saw Eaton Seville and
Dottie Covington playing ping pong.
Eaton had on a suit, the background
of which was forest green, but it
had a red woven stripe. From a
distance the suit appears to be
brown. Dottie also had on a suit.
Her suit was cherry wool crepe'.
The gold buttons began from the
left shoulder and tapered to the
middle at the waist.
Candy TJndiett was wearing an
original creation of black velveteen.
It was highlighted by a soft ermine
collar.
To complement her complexion.
Bet Epps was wearing a brown
crepe dress. There was a full peplum
in the back that tapered to a point
on the front hem.
Later, at the tea honoring new
students and faculty, I also had a
glimpse of what Salem Sassiety is
wearing. There I saw Liz Leland, a
hostess, wearing a white blouse with
embroidery insertion and a dark
green skirt.
Another hostess, Lyn Marshall,
wore a green velveteen dress with
puffed sleeves. She also wore gold
ballet slippers.
After the tea I realized that the
day was soon over, for all I could
see Salemites wearing were sweaters
and skirts...things were back to the

Music Students Cut Up,
Go Mad In Memorial Hall
by Polly Harrop
According to some distorted minds
on Salem campus, what group of
students has the easiest time? Bight,
the girls—and the men—who will
someday wear a. neat, little ‘‘B.
M.” engraved on one side of their
senior class rings. Or the “just
plain music majors”, as they are
more commonly known.
Now, the term “just plain music
majors” applies to a large group of
people. Not only are the B. M.’s
caught in its clutching grasp, but
also those who are struggling to
ward an A. B. degree and majoring
in piano or voice on the side. They,
too, are quite familiar with Kuth
and the ‘ ‘ old faithful ’ ’ elevator,
with the endless rows of tiny cube-
shaped spaces known as “practice
rooms”, and the comparatively lux
urious studios where a budding Eub-
enstein can “pour out his soul”
without the distracting din of in
numerable pianos!
Let, us take, for example, a day
from the life of Susie Snertgert,
girl genius. This is the day before
Susie’s lesson, and since she wants
to make a good impression on her
teacher Professor Almost-right-that-
time Play-it-again, Susie has decided
to get in a couple of extra hours in
addition to her required ten. She
bounces nimbly into the elevator
and hums her favorite tune, “Mat-
ona Mia Cara”, as she is whisked
away to the fourth floor. As she
steps out of the elevator, she mumb
les over her shoulder, “Thank you,
Euth” and vanishes in her eager
ness to get her music and get to
work.
Bennie Jo Michael is in the organ
practice room and she’s patiently
sawing away in a quaint little ditty
called “The Snow”. Next to her
is Eosalyn Fogel, pencil in hand, as
she works out a tricky theory modu
lation and not to be outdone is
Helen Creamer who stret-t-t-ches to
reach those tenths and twelfths in
her new Aaron Copland piece. Jo
Dunn and Lucy Harper, meanwhile,
are on the other side of the hall,
practicing to be angels and flicking
their halos on and off.
As Susie reaches for her music,
Bobbie Lee’s friendly “Hey!”
echoes down the hall, and 'Wesley
Snyder dashes for the water foun
tain to get the piece of flying
timber from the piano in No. 9 out
of his eye, while Mrs. Ogburn an
swers the insistent telephone with
“Salem School of Music”.
Susie checks her room number and
finds it to be No. 67-3/4—around on
the other side. Stopping to read
the notices she sees that there will
be a faculty meeting December 26,
1949, and Maggie Teyte sang on The
Korn Kobblers program three weeks
ago.
In the remaining practice rooms
Susie finds more “pu-pills”. There’s
Betty Jean Mabe and Anna McLau
ghlin blending their voices in a
duet, while Bob Sawyer winds up his
vigorous playing with a mighty col
lection of dissonances and a 'blood-
chilling yell! Calmly in her prac
tice room sits Doris Keith, amid it
all. She’s used to it by now and
hears nothing but her own sweet
playing of ‘ ‘ Good Eockin ’ Tonight ’ ’.
The hours fly like minutes and
soon Susie is playing her piece for
wards, upside down, and backwards,
a sure sign that she knows it.
Suddenly, a throng of excited
people rush into her room and startle
her so much she turns her chair
over. It’s Sara Hamrick, Sally Ann
Barthwick, Eula Mae Cain, Lila
Fretwell, Eleanor Davidson and Kat
herine Ives, shouting, “Have you
listened to those records for History
of Music? Wr’re lost in a maze of
Kyrie’s and organum! Come, help
iis quick! ” As they drag her merci
lessly from the room, Susie thinks
of the sixteen hours she had planned
to practice and of the horrible lesson
she will have. “Oh, well”, she
sighs to herself, “I’ll have a good
lesson next week!!!” .
Scorpions
An nounce
Members
Dr. Howard S. Jordan made the
following announcement in yester
day’s chapel:
‘ ‘ The Order of the Scorpion has al
ways been an organization which
has had the great respect of students
and faculty alike. Its ideal of ser
vice to the college in great things
and in small has been appreciated
and its intention that such service
should not redound to the personal
glory of its individual members has
been an intention laudibly realized.
Two years ago in an effort to
make still more effective its contri
bution to the college the Order of
the Scorpion agreed upon a change
of policy. It decided voluntarily to
return to its custom of some years
ago and to make its entire member
ship public. For various reasons it
seemed wise to postpone this step
until today.
I am sure I express the sincere
feeling of the faculty and admini
stration of Salem when I say that
this society, which bestows such
honor and lays such high obligations
upon its members, has the sincere
good wishes of all who love this
school.^ Today will surely mark the
beginning of an even greater and
more vital participation by the Scor
pions in the life of Salem. ‘
It IS now my honor as faculty ad
viser of this group to read you the
names of the members of the Order
of the Scorpion: Eaton Seville, Nell
Penn "Watt, Mary Patience McFall
Emelyn Gillespie, Betty Holbrook,
Peggy 'Watkins, Carolyn Taylor
Betty Ann Epps, Sara Burts, Laurel
Green, Euth Lenkoski; Beverly John
son, Mary Jane Hurt and Louise
Stacy. ’ ’
