Faculty Fishes,
Travels During
Christmas
By Martha Wolfe and Betty Parks
ludging from smoke-house gos
sip and midnight tete-a-tetes be
tween roommates, the Students at
Salem managed to amuse them
selves pretty well over the holi
days.
Hut what about the faculty?
The Salemite. having as its purpose
to expose all under-cover activities
of the faculty, decided to conduct
a scientific survey.
After many sessions of stooping
at key holes and loitering near the
faculty table in the dining hall, the
findings of this survey are hereby
published for the first time, with
all publishing rights extended ex
clusively to the Salemite.
We have purposely neglected all
mention of novels published, sym
phonies composed, commentaries
on the faulty inmetuation of Mil-
ton, and all other items which we
feel would be of little interest to
the readers of the Salemite.
Dr. Todd, fetchingly attired in a
bright red tie, carefully shut the
door before divulging any infor
mation concerning his vacation.
.Aside from some insignificant con
ference which he attended, his main
activity during Christmas nas i„ addition to the Salemites who returned from the holidays with pins and rings, three have married
l)l:iying with dolls, an electric and three have already announced their engagements. These are, left to right, seated: Muggins Bowman
train and jig-saw puzzles. Any Hutton, Jane Krauss, Betty Griffin, and Kenan Casteen; standing are: Julia Teal Edwards and Cacky Pear-
left-over time was utilized by fran-|*°u Moser,
tic search for the burned-out bulb
on the tree.
Mrs. T feidbreder’s trip to Okla
homa City threatened to put a
damper on her vacation. It seems
that due to some unprecedented
weakness in the United States rail
road system, she had a slight delay
of six atul a half hours in Memp
his.
Mr. Campbell (will all candidates
for a degree in Game Wardenship
[)lease skip this paragraph !) went
duck and goose hunting at Lake
.\fattaniuskeet for two days with
excellent results. He says he got
four ducks in one day and two
geese with otie shot. Having com-
l)leted his safari in the wilds of
North Carolitia, he journeyed to
Maine, stopping a few hours in
New York and Boston on the way.
While resting at home, he amused
himself by chopping up thirteen
large white pine trees blown over
by the Thanksgiving winds and
burned the limbs in thirteen large
fires. According to Mr. Campbell,
an\- w;irm weather in other parts
oi the country was due to these
fire.s.
Miss Carlsoti, Pris Martin, and
two unidetitified fish in a little jar
reached Florida by bus. We have
not constdted Pris or the fish yet,
but Miss Carlson states that the
iri|] was uneventful. She went
swimming luring the warm days
that were a direct result of Mr.
( amid)eH’s fires, and even did a
little fishing wdth no luck whatso
ever. “Not that this is the usual
I)roccdure iti Florida where each
fi'^herman chalks up a whale or two
per day,” explained Miss Carlson.
.Mr. Martin had a delightful vaca
tion, the entire three weeks’ period

A new Christmas tradition has
slipped in among the putz, the
Christmas banquet and the Mora
vian cookies—that of rings and
pins!
The rings are of two varieties:
those of Muggins Hutton, Julia
Ross Edwards, Bobbie Lee Wilson
and Cacky Moser are wedding
batids; and those seen flashing ebn-
spiciously from many Salemites’
left hands are engagement rings.
Muggins Bowman and George
Htttton, both of Hickory, were mar
ried December 27 in the Lutheran
Church at high noon. The re
ception followed at the Country
Club where, in the excitement, they
fr>rgot to cut the cake.
Julia Ross Teal married FTaroId
Edwards in Wadesboro the twenty-
tiinth of December. Next semester
they’ll be living and going to school
in Wake Forest.
Bobbie Lee married Jimm)^ Wil
son December 30 at a small cere
mony in the Home Moravian
Church. They honeymooned in
Florida before returning to school
in Chapel Hill.
Cacky Pearson was married Dec
ember 26 to Dan Moser in Gas
tonia in First A. R. P. Church at
5 :00 p.m.
Those who have announced their
engagements are Betty Griffin,
Keenan Casteen, Sarah Ann Slaw-
ter and Jane Krauss.
Betty Griffin of Durham will
marry Gordon Tuggle, also of Dur
ham, when he graduates from O.
C. S. in Texas.
Keenan Casteen of Leaksville
will marry Flarry Carpenter of
Winston-Salem in June. How
Keenan could have seen her ring
a month before she got it and not
tell a soul is still a mystery to
Soitth.
Jane Krauss and Oscar Marvin,Harris Cline from here. He at-
both of Winston-Salem, are plan
ing another June wedding. Maybe
by then Oscar will have been trans
ferred from the night shift to an
executive position.
Sarah Ann Slawter and Bill Sugg
chose June also. They’re planning
a large wedding in the Moravian
Church with many, many bridal at
tendants.
Eight more diamonds are in evi
dence, but no plans have been an
nounced as yet.
Sybel Haskins was surprised by
a ring from Pete Booth, also of
Rocky Mount, even after eight
years of going steady.
Phyllis Kelly of Raleigh and Ed
Strickland of Goldsboro were en
gaged Christmas Eve. It was a
give-and-take affair; “Here’s your
ring; now give me back my pin”.
Ann Sprinkle and Badger Clark
o( Henderson chose a romantic
setting—in front of the refrigera
tor. She handed him a glass of
water, and he handed her a ring.
Jim Ammons of Charlotte
brought Rachel Cline’s present to
her in Concord Christmas Eve. He
had tried to conceal the shape of
the ring box by putting it in a
larger box, but Rachel swears she
wasn’t fooled.
Polly Hartle and Robert Gray,
both of Winston-Salem, climaxed
weeks of holding hands at play
practice by becoming engaged.
Robert graduated from Salem last
year.
Libba Grimes and Bill McCach-
ean, although they are both from
Winston-Salem, never met until
they went off to school. She went
to Hollins, and he, to State, at
that! Christmas Eve was the night
for them. ■
Ann Eisenberg had to wait till
last Sunday to get her ring from
tended Carolina where he was a
TEP.
Betty Lou Pfaff cheated a little
on her Christmas present from
Reverend John Settlemyre, She
got it the fifteenth of December.
Plenty of pins are in evidence
around campus, too. Jean Patton
and Theresa Hedrick both picked
the navy in the persons of Bob
French ’52 and Stuart Sherman ’S3
Carmen Johnson is wearing
Crockett Chears’ Pika pin. Crock
ett is Peggy’s brother and a med
student at Duke.
Peggy Britt has another Pika’s
pin, Frank Keel of Winston-Salem.
They met on a blind date.
Ann Pleasants is pinned to Billy
Branson, a Chi Phi at the Univer
sity of Georgia. It happened when
they were both at home in Dur
ham for Christmas.
Carol Stortz brought back Paul
Howell’s honorary society pin from
Pennsylvania. He’s in M o u n t
Airy Seminary in Philadelphia.
Worthy of mention also, is Sally
Senter, not ringed, not pinned, but
dog-tagged! Howard Wentz is an
Air Cadet stationed in Mississippi.
Congratulations to these, conso
lation to others, and happy hunt
ing to the rest.

ful whether atomic energy in form
of weapons really' is a means for
maintaining peace.
The second part of the lecture
dealt with the use of this enor
mous energy for real peaceful pur
poses. It will be a source of en
ergy much more efficient than coal
and electricity. It may help in the
future to convert uninhabitable
areas of the world into productive
land which would solve the great
problem of overpopulation that
threatens most countries. Of great
est importance is the use of radio
active isotopes for medical pur
poses to locate and treat maladies,
especially cancer. It will also be
possible to study the processes of
life, to find out the secret way of
plants to get their food out of car
bon dioxide and water, which per
haps could be used someday by
men for the same purposes. Atomic
energy may be used for engines in
ships, airplanes, and railroads.
Mr. Laurence closed with his
conviction that “men will be pre
served for a much nobler destiny,
than ending in a cloud of dust”.
He is the second physicist whom I
heard speak, with great hope of
this monstrous invention of our
century. While, on the other hand,
many prominent scientists express
their fears on this subject.
Indeed, it could be a marvelous
invention as well as a monstrous
one. The question is: will man be
strong enough to master his own
invention or will he let himself be
dominated, and destroyed by it.
Mr. Laurence was the first news
paperman to write of the discovery
of Uranium 235 and the only one
to cover the Nagasaki bombing.
He is the only civilian who has
witnessed four out of five of the
atomic explosions.
He holds two Pulitzer Prizes, the
last one for the reporting of the
A-bomb. He has written Dawn
Over Zero, a book telling the story
of the atomic bomb, and has just
had published a book on the hydro
gen bomb. Hell Bomb.
Manners
When to the dining room you
stroll in.
It’s cold food we eat to our
chagrin;
So get to meals on time each
day.
So we may eat without dis
may.
Before the blessing has been
said
Don’t sit down or begin to be
fed;
Your I. R. S. says, “Please
co-operate”
So, how ’bout it, girls, let’s
don’t be late.
