November 10, 19 5 0 THE SALEMITE Page Three Jane Peruses (Continued from page two) line poem was used: The Mexican armies fight and fight With no surcease And none of them tries to find a way They can have peace. Movie advertisements showed Rudolph Valentino carelessly scratching a leopard behind the ears in “The Young Rajah”, and sultry Gloria Swanson peering from under a flapper hat in “The Hum ming-Bird”. Front page stories dealt with Mah-Jong parties, sorority ban quets and Thanksgiving Day (There were no Thanksgiving holidays in 1920), inter-class basketball games. Throughout’ 1929 there was more attention to articles on marriage and boys than to the impending stock market crash and depression. Featured articles ranged from “Hope For Intellectuals”, results of a poll showing that over one half of the women Phi Beta Kap pas got married, to a report from Ohio State University that “the heavy intellects of masculine pro fessors are lubricated with a little feminine personality” and the girls get higher grades. Economic troubles warranted a small para graph half way down the weekly news column. By the end of the second World War, often as much as the whole editorial page was devoted to world events and the political scene. Before the war, the draft and the Roosevelt-Wilkie campaign rated a streamer on the first page. 1944-46 saw invention on the front page with bold, black heads and unusual page divisions. The 1944 May Day issue of the Salemite bore the head, “Wake Me Early For Pm To Be Queen Of May^^ Dear Mother”, in half-inch letters. The article described the May Queen as “S’ 10” of dark regalness as befits her role. Dark eyes— vivacious and wise, despite the sul try shadows behind them—” This period also saw the advent of the gossip columns called Mar tha’s Musings and Filth Column Reporting from which came: We don’t know which is glit tering more, Mary’s eyes or her new fraternity bracelet. And then there’s Betty’s Hockey Takes (Continued from page one) Polly passed out but recovered in a short time, while Eleanor suf fered a swelling on the left side of her forehead. Less serious was the collision of Joan White and Edna Wilkerson both of whom have swellings on their heads. The accident occur red when the girls ’were running, heads down and hit head on. Due to a blow on the left hand, Catherine Birckel has two bruised fingers. No bones were broken, but Catherine says that there is a throbbing pain. According to the reports of the girls involved, Polly appeared all right after her blow. She straigh tened up to resume play, and tlien passed out. Mrs. Moran gave her some ammonia, after which Polly recovered sufficiently to walk off the field. Mrs. Moran called play for the day because of the various injuries incurred during the course of the class.

Main St. "Mighty Dead” (Continued from page two) Many thought him to an an archist and a visionary, when he was actually their opposite—a con servative and perceptive believer in non-oppressive and capable author ity. He ridiculed the theoretical, utopian social rebels, the “roman cers of politics,” with their vapid, delusionary optomism and hollow rantings. Chesterton lauded him as the only man who was able to “become a revolutionist without be coming a sentimentalist,” and re volt “against the cant of authority —yet—despising the cant of revolt.” His acute perception enabled him to analyse the initial causes of chauvinism, national prejudices, war, sentimental humanitarianism, sanctimony, and the whole ludi crous panorama of life. In Wid ower’s Houses, he attacked the slum conditions, but went far deep er than merely chastising the land lords—he went to the roots of so ciety itself. In Days of My Youth, he remarked, “If religion is that which binds men to one another, and irreligion that which sunders then must I testify that I found the religion of my country in its musical genius and its irreligion in its churches and drawing rooms.” This perceptive ability of Shaw’s has often been misnomered “cynic ism;” Misnomered because there is no relation between a perspicacious and constructive critic and a con firmed cynic. This so-called cynic ism was actually the basis of his genius, of hik profoundly wise, mature view of people as they really are. Shaw was dogmatic and didactic but he was also an innovator. His vitality and freshness never became stagnant or trite; he be lieved in progressive evolution, but never change through violence. “To the end of history,” he said in Caesar and Cleopatra, “murder shall breed murder, always in the name of right and honor and peace, until the gods are tired of blood and create a race that can understand.” We specialize in Wedding, Birthday, and Party Cakes also Bread sliced any thick ness.

He was certainly an egoist, though so delightfully demonaical and candid about it that he couldn’t offend; especially when his self esteem was so obviously not ex aggerated. “I have made Shake speare popular by knocking him off his pedestal and kicking him around the place, and making people real ize that he’s not a demigod, but a dramatist”, he said. However, at the Playgoer’s Club in London one day, a speaker was delivering a lecture on “The Superiority of Shaw to Shakespeare”, praising Shaw for his superior realism, sen sibility, depth, and stage technique. Mr. Shaw arose from his place in the audience and begged, before any more was said, to say a few words himself, in defense of his famous rival. His idiocyncrasies were many, but they were not affected; they were, rather, born of his native whimsy and spontenaiety—his vitrolic re partee and the delight he took in creating around him a “miniature reign of terror,” the snuff-colored suit, flannel shirt and velvet jacket he sported back in the nineties, the jesting pretence of vanity he most always assumed in public—these were merely outward manifestita- tions of an inner spark which gave both theme and versatitity to all he wrote; for though he claimed to be “not of this world,” he actually loved life, for its own sake. It is, he said, “a splendid torch—and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.” The Toddle House 878 West Fourth St. Phone 2-3737 ‘‘Shoes of Character Fitted with a Purpose*' Paschals-Ferrell Shoe Store 219 W. 4th Street Winston-Salem, N.
