Welch • (Continued from page one) of the three men. Carrie, the Negro maid, will be played by Barbara Sheppe. Dr. Welch found her “real life situation ’ ’ for Christmas Comes Early right here on Salem Campus. “I was walking away from the Book store one cold afternoon before Christmas,’’ Dr. Welch told me, “and I passed two girls who were practically doubled over with laugh ter. The girls told me that they were trying to find a picture of a certain girl to send to a lovelorn column. That was my beginning. ‘Christmas Comes Early’ was the result.” “Christmas Comes Early” will be given in Chapel Hill on March 26. And, calendar permitting, the play Sweetheart (Continued from page one) In Spite of all this, Gordon has managed to be deemed as a ladies’ man. He is really a well-rounded, versatile American boy. As Lady Carolyn said of Lord Byron, Betty Griffin says of our sweetheart, Gor don Tuggle, “He’s mad, bad, and da,ngerous to know”, (thank you. Dr. Prank P. Hulme.) The runner-up for our sweetheart was Mr. A. E. Mosely, father of Anne Mosely. The third place win ner was Donald Kinney, who was’ sponsored by Janice Wear. will be given in Assembly that same week, so that we can all have an opportunity to see ‘ ‘Christmas Comes Early”—a play of Salemites, for Salem, by a Salem faculty member. Polly Brews Salem Stew; Ditto Arises by Polly Hartle Grasping a large test tube firmly with a pair of tweezers, I held it over the blue flames that were leap ing through the hole in the ring- stand. When the pink H3*o turned yellow, I threw in a lock of Bobbie Lee’s carrot curls, M. T. Eule’s per petual grin, some chiseled inches from Dale Smith’s height and Mr. Campbell’s eyebrows topped with powdered calcium. 1 shook it furi ously, gently blowing the foam off -the top and poured the contents into a tin mold. I waved my tweezers in the air, chanted the Pythagorean theorem backwards, and joyously splashed ammonia into the distilled water. What to my wondering tem poral lobe should emerge but Little Ditto, the typical, stepped-upon Salemite. A versatile corpuscle who never lets her studies interfere with her fun. Ditto has well developed tal ents. She dabbles in art, music, yarns, hockey and Duke and majors in English on the side. Perspective teachers must be well-balanced! (She also plays a mouth organ and helps to pay her book store bill by sere nading lovers in the May Dell.) One can generally find her draped around the coffee stand at Gooch’s, lost in a grand slam, crouching at the P. O. door waiting, or in Bio logy lab cultivating her petunias. Of course, she has six eight-thirties and classes all day Saturday. Art is one of her primary inter ests; her newest abstract. The Tower of Babble in Green or Human Speech Development, is a likely candidate for the Salem exhibit in Paris. Her room is packed with trophies in cluding three hand-carved hockey sticks, a loving cup, and a medal rom the local Garden Club. Ditto has the ordinary difficulties that annoy us all, but she accepts them patiently banging her head against the same wall each of us uses. She has her own little place in the world; in fact she may be you! This Columnls aRareThing; B. Mac Is Most Interesting by Tootsie Gillespie One day, not too many years ago, a small girl-baby floated down from Heaven on a faded Vermillion cloud, trailing smaller clouds of glory be hind her. She was a fair little thing—pink hair, blonde eyes, fair skin of the Nordic type and a sei’- ene cast about the eyelids and chin cleft. She was called Betty McBray- er, a name altogether unfitting, but so she was called and so she is called. At an early age, her friends and parents discovered that Betty was possessed with an unusual vocal mechanism, enabling her to laugh from the lower diaphram (which won her many new acquaintainces). “A rare thing” said her parents. But things went deeper for Betty. Instead of following the usual child hood pursuits of setting fire to the cat, pouring contaminated water in the city reservoir, breaking stink bombs in church and burning cob webs under the house, little Betty learned to recite Gregorian chants (in 2-4 time), write in the imper fect subjunctive with her left hand, galvanize tires and other useful things that helped her to become a well-rounded individual. “A rare thing” said the neigh bors. Time came when Betty entered college in the freshman class. She sucessfully passed the Orien tation Test (a very rare thing) and began organization of the Neo-Pla- tonists, which held annual meetings in solitary confinement in the green house. It was here that she became interested in plant-watching and dis covered that chlorophyll makes an excellent di’ink when mixed with bicarbonate of soda. ‘ ‘ A rare thing ’ ’ hiccoughed Betty. She soon became the center of a diversified group of friends. There was young Amandus who liked to grow polyps, and Nucleus who lived in a tree-house (she was always late to classes) and Hydranga who couldn’t be persuaded to come out from under the bridge in the May Dell (“Interesting girl,” said one of her professors. “Has webbed feet and a greenish cast about tile lower appendages. A rare thing! ”). But all these things began to pall. The pink cloud of Betty’s birth be gan to take on a kind of reddish hue and what with serving Junior breakfasts, unspringing sprung bob- bie pins, and cornering waterbugs in the smokehouse, young Betty east aside her refined background and became known as Bedlam Betty or MacBrayer the Mauler. This change came on quite slowly at first. It was first noticed when she began little unobstructive things like, kick ing her roommate in the left groin when she attempted to brush her teeth (she had been frightened by a porcupine once) and refusing to eat her spinach. “A rare thing” said her friends. Then the change became more overt. She took to pulling up flow ers by the roots and making like a nymph in the May Dell. This wouldn’t have been so noticeable if she hadn’t cried audibly the night Tou-Know-Who was elected May Queen. After that, she took to put ting used tooth picks in the chicken salad which also won her many friends. latest waxing to switch ”®”‘*®'^*®caoitol Recoramg ’he answer! , and y®® ,comes back 1 Jies "Crazy Wbyt ’ Heo- Lottest of tbe i, band revive it-^ are mi^^^ HOiA/ MILD CAN A CIGARETfE 6£ ?
