Salemites Entertained By Davidson Men;
Can’t Wait Till Next Year To Go Again
by Betsy Farmer
’Twas the night before Davidson-
Salem Day and the little Salemites
were all atwitter while visions of
six-foot-two dream men danced in
their pin-curled heads. All too
soon came the dawn and the great
day began. By 12:45 there arose
such a clatter in front of South
that you’d have thought it was New
Year’s Eve and things were just
rolling. The Greyhounds pulled up
so sleek and shiny and opened their
doors for over a hundred excited
girls.
As everybod}' scrambled for a
seat, you could see the scared girls
who were waiting to meet their
blind dates sprinkled in amongst
the serene sirens who were going
to see “The man.” In that cate
gory we had Jean Watt Stokes
who was going over to tangle with
her own private football player,
Tommy Comer, while Ann Rhyne
had her day all planned with Fer-
man Warlick.
Emily “Indian” Warden had her
day planned by Betty Parks, who
took on Dallas Pickard, while Em
dated Fletcher Bright, one of the
Cripple Creek Boys. Kenan Cast-
eer also dated one of the perform
ers, Charlie Mitchell, head cheer
leader. Emily Roland decided to
trust old Lady Luck and wound up
with Dan McKeithan. Betty Sue
Kincaid, Mary i Kennett, and Julia
Moore also took a chance and
wound up with Bob Henry, Ted
Bowen and Di'ck Gilchrist.
The real celebrities of the crew
were Sarah Clark and Ann Car
rington who showed up at the game
in a snappy 1929 convertible wear
ing huge carnations and acting as
sponsors for the game. Sarah was
squired by Jack Hazzard while Ann
dated Gilbert Humphrey.
Mary Lawrence came squinting
off the bus to look for Everett
Blake, and SAE for Beautiful,
Beautiful Wilson. Also favoring
the SAE’s were Barbara Cottrell
and Jean Davenport dating Nat
Daniels and Ernest Barry. Nell
Phillips seemed to think the Sigma
Chi’s were fine as she dated Speedy
Whitakers. Mimi Weil tried the
Phi Delt’s hike over the golf course
and had supper with Frank War
ren. The Phi Gams saw a lot of
Alma Brigman who dated A1 Rob
inson,
The Davidson “D” club gave a
dance in the gym and a show down
at Richardson Field where we saw
Elsie Macon and Dave Robinson,

Scene: Clewell Smokehouse
Time: September 22, 1949
Salemite No. 1;
dash across smokehouse) Dahhng.
How are you? c i
Salemite No. 2: (clasping Salemite
No. 1 to her bosom) Honey, how
grand to see you again!
Llemite No. 1: I simply cannot
wait to talk to you. I’ve got so
much to tell you. I got your pos
tal card from West Siberia. Did
vou have a marvelous time?
Salemite Nd. 2: Simply Divine.
And I cannot wait to hear about
your trip to East Mongolia. Come
right over to the room as soon as
vou register and tell me all-simply
all!
' And then with appropriate com
ments about the new and old fac
ulty members and Saturday classes,
Salemite No. 1 and No. 2 parted.
Other than a passing hello or a
hand of bridge they never see each
other again until September, 1950,
when they go through the same
frenzied greeting.
Everybody really is interested in
hearing about everybody else s sum
mer, but what with quizzes and
term-papers, we never seem to get
around to it. For that reason the
Salemite is going to print an ar
ticle each week by a student or
faculty member about his or her
travels. Now, without cutting clas
ses or flunking out of school, we
can at least find out wdiat happened
to each other during the summer.
For instance, one group went tc
Europe with Miss Sampson and
Miss Marsh. Frances Horne has
been raving about Switzerland and
France ever since. You should hear
about the artificial flowers she
couldn’t resist buying in New York
(reduced from $1.49 to only $.59)
and as a result had to carry them
all over Europe in a paper bag
And what about Winkic Harris?
We all know from that
?iccent of
hers that she lived in Europe for
sometime. Other than a few dis
gusting comments, such as “The
first time I had lobster was in Mar
seilles” (accompanied by appropri
ate sighs of remembrance), we
haven’t heard anything else about
her travels. .
Then, Sis Honeycutt and Sarah
Hamrick went on a trip up the east
coast and into Canada. Sarah
bought her debutante dress in New
York, and Sis says they ate in
I such wonderful restaurants she’s
still trying to lose the weight she
gained.
Watch your Salemite from now
on for these articles by students
and faculty about their travels. If
you’ve been trying to decide which
travel agency to consult about next
summer’s plans, try the Salemite’s
personal tour of the world first.
