Lee’s Dream
Turns Into
Nightmare
by Lee Rosenbloom
The miracle finally happens, and
I M. Desparate asks me to come
down Carolina-Duke week-end. In
spite of the fact that I. M. is only
three feet tall and a freshman, this
is the chance—the time to make
contacts. By Thursday night I
have packed last-year’s suit and my
one dress in my roommote’s suit
case. 1 place my pin-curled head
on the pillow—to try and get
enough sleep to last until .Monday
—And I dream.
The I Felta Thi house buzzes
with excitement as a vision of
loveliness glides gracefully through
the door. One of the boys whispers
to his nearest neighbor, “Who is the
queen in the! good-looking wool
dress?” Oh my gosh! I suddenly
realize it’s me—in Anne Carring
ton’s beige dress. What could be
more perfect than its long sleeves,
straight skirt and mandarin neck
line. As I leaned casually against
the fire place and fluttered my eye
lashes at the president of the frat
ernity, the bands . of brown that
encircle the hips fell gracefully to
a twelve ince hemline.
Suddenly the scene shifts. We
seem to be on a hayride. I am
dressed in red corduroy pedal push
ers—(a Sosnik’s specialty) and Jane
Hart’s grey cashmere sweater. Oh
well, who am I to complain? I am
making impressions right and left
on all of the I Felta Thi’s.
Number 22 trips 200 yards down
to ask my date which player he is,
the field for a touchdown. I turn
only to find I. M. gazing at me
with bulging eyes. I glance down,
to find that I am wearing Sis Hine’s
three piece suit that she just bought
at Montaldo’s. I pat the collar
complacently and drape the top
coat casually around my shoulders.
What could be smarter than the
matching tweed skirt, collar, and
cuffs, with the contrasting jacket
—especially worn with Sis’s opera
pumps and other navy accessories.
As I glide gracefully across the
floor of Wollen Gymnasium, my
partner (a cross between Dr. Sin
ger and Gregory Peck) glances ad
miringly at me and says, “Ma
petite, what a lovely gown. When
were you in Paris ?” “Oh this old
■■ag”. f gasped, and by this time I
am not surprised to see myself in
Dot Massey’s (of Salem May Queen
fame) evening dress. Madame
Barnes has outdone herself this
time, and I am clothed in an off
the shoulder blonde-satin creation
trimmed with sequins.- Although I
do not look like Dot, I am quite
pleased.
This scene shifts again, and I
find myself with knife and fork in
hand, having lunch at the fraternity
house. Jean Davenport’s navy blue
taile suit is quite becoming, and I
am very careful not to spill gravy
on the lovely pink satin collar hnd
cuffs. With the suit I am wearing
the new Revelon lipstick and nail-
polish, “Plumb Beautiful”. My
date is whispering sweet nothings
about mid-winters and his frater
nity pin—when suddenly I have a
night mare—I dream that I am at
Salem College with my hair in pin
curies and my roommate’s suitcase
is packed with last year’s suit and
my only dress.

writer while trying to fit Constan
tinople Vishinsky Pact on one line
one column in 30 pt San Serif.
Friends of Lee Rosenbloom will
please send all expressions of sym
pathy to Sister’s Dormitory. The
dear departed dropped dead at 9:31
p. m. at the foot of the steps lead
ing to the Reserve room of Salem
College Library. It is uncertain as
to whether Winkie Harris or Mr.

that the authorities revealed to the

hope she recovers the six dollars

Statesville this week-end.
Eng. Named-
Most Popular
By Students
A campus-wide poll was conducted
this week by the Salemite staff on
the question: “What do you think
is the best course you have taken
at Salem?”. Points of interest, en
joyment, knowledge, and usefulness
were considered.
The upperclassmen rated Miss
Byrd’s English Literature as their
favorite course. Economic Princi
pals and Problems were voted sec
ond. One junior commented, “Eco
nomics is a course that everyone
should take”. Tied up for third
place was Studio Art and United
States in World Affairs. Concern
ing art, Jane Shoaf, a Sophomore,
said, “I plan to make a career of
art, and therefore like it and en
joy it most. I hope the art depart
ment will develop enough so that I
will be able to major in it”. Dot-
tie, Wilson, another sophomore,
commented, “I find United States
in World Affairs has given me an
abundance of interesting informa
tion to present to my family and
friends. It is a very stimulating
course.”
There was a three way tie be
tween Comparative Government
(Political Philosophy), Music Ap
preciation, and French Literature
for fourth place by the upper-
classemen.
The freshmen also voted on their
most stimulating subject. Fresh
man English received the highest
number of votes, followed very
closely in second place by Mathe
matics (college algebra and trigo-
ometry). American History fol
low in third place, and Elementary
Spanish captured fourth place.
Both freshmen and upper-class
men put English at the top of their
favorite subject list. Courses
taught by Dr. Singer, head of the
History Department, appeared three
times on the lists. The large variety
of subjects receiving the most votes
is also notable.
