Dr. Lewis Likes Salem
And Limburger Cheese
By Betty Gwen Beck
The first thing I noticed about
Dr. Lewis was his smile which made
me feel at home on my first inter
view in his office.
Dr, Lewis feels at home at Salem
because Salem practices some of
his pet theories on education. The
small, liberal arts college where he
“can teach human beings rather
than subject matter” is his ideal
he enjoys the personal contact
with his students.
Before coming to Salem Dr.
Lewis was jirofessor of Modern
Languages at liunington in Mont
gomery, Alabama. Then he spent
three years at the University of
Oklahoma. In addition, J)r. Lewis
was professor of Spanish at the
University of Georgia where he
used his own textbook in an ex
perimental class. During the war
he was in the military service at
Jasksonville.
Dr. Lewis enjoys any kind of
mental activity, but claims he shies
away from all kinds of physical
exertion. Me is a fiend for chess
and reading in any form—reads
anything he can get his hands on.
Another strong (!) like is limber-
gcr cheese. Dr. Lewis feels that
his wife's toleration of this is a
great proof of her affection.
He has done special work on

gathering and making a synthesis
on application of psycoanalytic
principles in the field of literary
criticism. Although there has been
other work done in this field there
has been no outlining, organization
or evaluation.
It would seem that Dr. Lewis is
an extremely versatile man.

among home freeze owners for her
thesis. One day she was walking
down a country road to see a lady
with a home freezer when a dump
truck with a woman and her son
inside offered her a ride. Before
she could explain her destination,
they had carried her a mile and
a half past it. Another time she
had stopped typing her survey re
sults a moment to rest, and her
four year old nephew walked in
and said, “Aunt Ginny, I thought
you were supposed to be busy the-
sing.” Later she went to Phila
delphia to complete her research.
Dr. Singer combined school with
traveling. For six weeks he re
turned for the second summer of
teaching American Political and
Constitutional History at Furman
Graduate School. The rest of the
summer he spent studying some,
but mostly taking family trips from
western North Carolina to Myrtle
Reach and Georgia. Later he took
Jeannie, his oldest daughter, to see
Fredericksburg, Washington and
Philadelphia. They even covered
the whole battlefield of Manassas
on foot. Dr. Singer’s eyes began
to sparkle when he told me of his
final summer occupation, “planning
how to better harass my student
victims. I spend lots of time on
that”. He added that the best way
for a student to get an A was to
walk his Boxer pup in the after
noons.
Dr. Lewis began his summer
with a trip to Texas to visit his
folks. After which, he painted his
house and laid a sidewalk and a
driveway. He says of this, “You
know, Pm too lazy for that. Work
ing my mind, that’s different”.
Next he revised half of the Be
ginning Spanish Text he had used
in an experimental class at the
University of Georgia and is still
trying to find time to revise the
second half.
Miss Covington, after staying
here part time, going to Wrights-
ville, Rutherfordton and Monroe;
took her seven year old nephew to
see New York. From there they
took his first boat trip to Wash
ington. After seeing the Wash
ington and Lincoln Memorials, she
asked him if he would like to see
the White House. He replied, “I’d
much rather see Dean Acheson.”
That he enjoyed the trip is con
firmed by his saying that he hoped
to be still traveleing with “Auntie”
when he is eighteen. “Auntie”
hopes so, too, but assures him that
next time he’ll have to carry the
bags.
Mr. Curlee left Winston to take
his family to see “The Lost Colony”
at Manteo and spend some time in
the surf of Nag’s Head. As for
the rest of the summer, he just
fooled around the house and read

New York Stage
If you want to see a musical
comedy put together by Howard
Lindsay and Russell Crouse and
directed by George Abbott, see Call
Me Madam. It contains scenery
and costumes designed by Raoul
Peredu Bois, ballet scenes com
posed by Jerone Robbins, cheerful,
intimate, and amusing music writ
ten by Irving Berlin, legitimate
stage actors, such as Paul Lucas and
Alan Hewitt, and the cyclonic Miss
Ethel Merman who proves the fact
that she can imitate people as fan^
tastic as she is and act as well as
perform, as the central character in
Call Me Madam now playing at the
Imperial Theater in New York City.
Tourists
Mr. Dewell Grinnel, president of
the American Society of Travel
Agents, has reported that the time
is not far off when as many as
1,000,000 American tourists would
visit Europe annually. By the end
of this year 400,000 citizens from the
United States have visited European
countries and travel officials are pre
paring to accommodate more in the
coming year.
“This country’s key role in in
ternational affairs is stimulating a
desire among an increasingly large
number of Americans to meet the
people of foreign countries,” said
Mr. Grinnel. “The trend is partic
ularly noticeable among moderate-
income families.”
Books
According to public opinion, based
on reports from leading book-sellers
in thirty-six cities, the staff of The
New York Times Book Review Sec
tion has placed in its “Best Sell
ers” column the following general
titles : 1st place, Kon-Tiki, by Hey
erdahl, 2nd place. Look Younger,
Live Longer, by Hauser (which
led last week), 3rd place, Quentin
Reynold’s Courtroom, and 4th place.

a little.
Miss Byrd describes her summer
as “irresponsible and giddy”. The
first ten days were spent here as
hostess to the Choir School which
was “really more fun than work”
and quite different from the past
ten summers of steady work in
which she ran a hotel, taught in
summer school or studied. July
was spent “gadding about” from
the mountains to the seashore in
North Carolina. During this time
she saw “The Lost Colony” and
the Cherokee pageant, “Unto These
Hills”, and acted as family dish
washer at her home in Morganton.
In August she left for the Con
necticut shore, a visit entailing
swimming and sailing in Long Is
land Sound six days a week and
working in the Yale Library one
day a week. On the way home she
stopped in New York to see T. S.
Eliot’s “Cocktail Party”.
Other faculty members were un
available, but judging from those
interviewed, they’ll be counting the
months till another summer, too.
Other recent books to bear in
mind because of particular literary
interest are the fictional books
Cast a Cold Eye, by Mary Mc
Carthy, and The Day of the Locust,
by Nathaniel West, plus the gen
eral books Ideas and Men, by Crane
Brinton and Noble Essences, by
Osbert Sitwell.
Shoes
There is a new shoe shine pro
duct which will soon be advertised
in the Winston-Salem stores that
guarantees to protect and preserve
your shoe leather along with mak
ing it soft, pliable, and weather re
pellent. Just spray it on, and wipe
it off—that’s all there is to it. The
spraying process takes but several
seconds and it dries in just two
minutes. The color is neutral so
it can be used on any color shoes
(except white) and any leather
shoes (except suede). For % cent
a shine no one on campus should
have grubby looking loafers.
Campus Accident
A worker on the new science
building accidentally fell Tuesday
morning while he was doing work
on the third floor. He was taken
to the hospital in an ambulance to
check his wounds but luckily he
wasn’t badly bruised due to pro
tective clothing which included a
metal helmet.

By Ruth Beasley
It is a warm spring day. I can
hear the birds chirping as they
dance from branch to branch on
the big Magnolia tree outside my
bedroom window. Occasionally the
wind forces a limb to bend too far
and tap against the pane. I’m try
ing desperately to read my grand
mother’s latest book from her book
club, “The History of The World”,
but it doesn’t seem to interest me.
I want to go outside and skate
with my' seven year old playmates,
only I can’t leave my room. I can
only watch them from my- bedroom
window. I’m being punished.
I didn’t know that the watch I
broke yesterday was my grand
mother’s most prized possession.
She was too sweet to punish me,
so my mother did. Sometimes I
wonder why we have mothers;
they can cause so much trouble,
house, looking for something to do,
When I was snooping around the
I found the pretty gold watch. I
just had to take it. I wsfsn’t steal
ing, because mama found out that
I had. it. I laid it beside me while
I put my skates on and didn’t
hear her footsteps. She walks like
a mouse. She took it away from
me as fast as I had taken it out
of grandmother’s dresser drawer.
Mama didn’t think I saw her hide
it behind the old clock in the hall,
but I did! It wasn’t long before
the watch and I were safely out
of the house. I couldn’t wait to
show it off to everyone. Faster,
and faster I skated down the front
walk. The neighbor’s dog forgot
to look before crossing the side
walk, so we met. I fell flat on
my face; my feet flew up in the
air and the watch dropped to the
concrete, breaking into a dozen
little pieces. I cried hard, expect
ing my friends to come running
to me, but only grandmother came.
From the terrible expression on her
face, she must have thought I was
dying. Her attention wasn’t enough,
so I cried more. Mother ran out
of the house faster than I thought
a mouse could walk. It was then
a battle of two against one. Grand
mother and I against mama. Mama
won, so^ I was punished by being
locked in my room for a couple
of days. Mama made me promise
that I’d never again take a watch
with me when I went skating. She
doesn’t need to worry though, be
cause I looked in grandmother’s
drawer again and couldn’t find one.
I’m so miserable with my play
mates playing outside while I sit
here in my room with nothing to
do but read and I’m having quite
a bit of trouble trying to figure out
these big words. Maybe if I tear
sorne of these pages out, I can
make some paper dolls, but I don’t
want to play dolls. I want to go
outside. Here comes mama. I
wonder why she’s putting all those
pieces of the watch in a box? I’ll

“My grandfather’s first watch in
1865”.
Mama’s gone and everything’s
quiet in here now, but if I listen
very hard, I can hear someone
crying downstairs. It sounds like
grandmother. I’ll bet grandmother
knows mama’s grandfather and is
afraid to tell him that I broke his
watch. I’ll tell him if she wants
me to.
