open House Held In Strong Living Room A tea Last Sunday afternoon marked the official opening of the l-'riendship Rooms in Strong Dor mitory. It was held in honor of Colonel and Mrs, Corin Strong. Colonel Strong is the son of the late Mrs. II. A. Strong, who dur ing her life took such an active interest in Salem College. The Strongs arrived on campus Satur day morning in time to have lunch with our foreign students, who are here under the Strong fund. The tea was held from 3:00 to 5 :(X) in the newdy decorated rooms of the Strong building. Both the members of the faculty and the student body were invited to come in for refreshments, and also to meet the Strongs and to look over the new rooms. Mrs. lleidbreder and Winkle Harris met the guests at the door and asked them in. The living room was attractively decorated with an arrangement of mixedi spring flowers on one table. An other arrangement of red roses was on the piano, which Joan White played during the afternoon. In the dining room, which is |)apered in grey wallpaper w i t h scenes similar to those of old Salem, there was a large table covered with a white linen cloth. At cither end of the table was a punch bowl filled with ginger ale and lime ice. Serving were Miss Byrd, Miss Marsh and Miss Weaver from the Academy. Other refreshments in cluded cake scpiares, nuts and green and white mints. editor (Continued from page two) them on the bulletin board. I’ic- tures always attract readers. So, some pictures exclusively for the Salemite would really help the |)apcr. 'I'here are too many stories in the paper that seem to come out of some h'.nglish class. They are excellent as far as good composi tion and correct h'.nglish is con cerned, but :is for enjoytthlc rctid- ing they rank zero. If you must pul in such compositions, select the enjoytible ones instetid of the purely .grammatically correct. There is too much new's about the faculty in the ittiper. We checked one front iitige .and found tlitit five out of fifteen tirticles per tained exclusively to the faculty. We are interested in the faculty, but must they consume one-third ot our front page? This is not in proportion to their number com- |)tired to that of the students. Maj' we suggest ;i column' of news purely td)ont the fticulty :md their doings and just let important news get on the front page? d'he Day Students are largely disregarded in the paper. How' :d)out giving them space in every issue? _ The same issue of the Salemite that we checked about faculty news (October 27, 19.S0) did not have a single article .about the day students in it. They are part of the student body, too. This also includes the men. These are our criticisms of the Salemite. You asked us what we felt was wrong with it, ;uid we told you. What we have said we have said with sincerety. Nothing was meant as a slur on anybody. W'e are interested in our school paper and feel that it should be our paper, the average student’s paper. That’s why we find it u))- setting to see a st.ack of unread Salemites in the smoke house every! h'riday night. We know that the reporters and other staff members! work hard on the paper. That’s why we want a paper that every student will enjoy reading. By Charlotte Woods & Dena Karres Bett}! Lou Pfaff To Marry Reverend John Settlemyre -Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

S. must have received ! advance notice from the weather man when they were planning 1 i Charm Week. j The spring-like days which ac- I coinpanied the week’s activities I contributed to one of the most successful Charm Weeks seen by .Salem. Mrs. Bonnie Angelo Levy, of the Twin City Sentinel, spoke in as sembly Tuesday, February 13. En sembles, suits and linen dresses seem to be very popular this sea son. Cool colors, such as violet and pink, small hats and longer hair help to make up, what Mrs. Levy calls, the spring for “practi cal yet stylish fashions.” She also spoke on a subject which is of in terest to many Salemites—trous seaus. Her helpful advice will be acknowledged and put to use by the already well-dressed Salem girls. Miss Alice Griffin, representing one of the better stores in the city, gave a make-up demonstra tion at 7:30 Wednesday night in the Day Student Center. She used Frances Morrison as her blonde model, and Florence Cole as her brunette model. Mrs. Howard Rondthaler, the gracious wife of our former presi dent, known by all Salemites for her charm, spoke Thursday morn ing in assembly on the qualifica tions of inner charm. Mrs. Rond thaler was an inspiration to all Salem students who heard her, not only by her speech, but also by showing us, in herself, an example of charm at its esptome. A coffee was held at 6:30 Thurs-I day night in the living room of Bitting! Members of the I. R. S. were hostesses to the students and faculty who enjoyed the coffee and mints which were served. One of the highlights of the week was the spring fashion show Thursday night in the Day Stu dent Center. The theme of the show was “The way you’ll look this spring.” Lovely fashions were modeled by Salem girls. Betty Kincaid looked like a j dream in a Ceil Chapman evening I gown. Frances Morrison shov ; a green shantung dress with a ; peter pan collar and rhinestone I buttons, which would be good for anyone’s all-summer wardrobe, A grey suit with a box jacket and a I grey checked vest was another at- I tractive feature. Several cotton I dresses were shown, one of which I had a black strapless top with a patch vv^ork skirt worn with a sum mer white necklace and earbobs. The stylish selections shown would make any young lady want to get ready to join the Easter parade. Sis Honeycutt played the piano during the show. The models were Anne C o 1 e m a,n, Betty Kincaid h ranees Morrison, Bennie Joe Michael, Florence Cole, Peggy Bonner, Lou Davis, Peggy Aider- man, Monie Rowland, Carroll Johnstone, Sara Tisdale, Jane Fear- mg and Kiancy Florance. Talent Show To Be Qiven February 21 Rip—pp !!! “Another rip”, Sammy. A dozen Pierrettes were buzzing in circles constructing sets for Pygmalion and the Talent Show. The poor, pitiful, ragged, trod, upon, mis-used, faded, ripped, tat tered, century-old curtain flapped distraughtly, trying to get itself out of the way. “Do you think this circus idea will go with the acrobatics?” yelled Phyllis as she sloshed a red- smeared brush across a piece of' canvas. “Where d’ya want these spots?” screamed McCutch, whof. was draped over the top of a lad-1. der. j. “Hand me those screws and aiif- extra hinge, please”, said Edith to ' Gracie, who was wielding a ham- ’ mer and saw. “We’ll have to shift by this plan and we’re allowed twenty seconds for each shift”, announced Nancy Ann, who wore the badge of stage manager. “For heaven’s sake, get off the curtain!” shouted Dee to the poor: cast members, who were struggling through parts amid all the confus ion. “Fogle and I have stitched that same seam three times and the audience will still be able to see through the worn place.” “Nevertheless, the show must go on”, volunteered Ruby Nell, “and here is the list for the talent show”. “I want a cafe set for i Lola’s act; we’ll put Peggyan on t a platform and use multicolored s spots. Paint this flat log-cabin style for Joan Wampler, and see *■ if you can clear some room in the I back' for these costumes.” » “Haw”, ventured Sammy, who by this time had given up sewing patches. “Have any of you goons seen Dr. Todd’s scene in Act Iwo?” “Well don’t miss it. It's an utter scream! That Hutson kid is quite a cockney, and Bryan accent fits right in. Incidentally, Me and McCutch are in the first act—we’re worth the price of the ticket. Darn this curtain I!
