and I am the living,” and with
tlial I ])erformed a ca|)ricious caper
upon one of the large tombstones
immediately chastising myself for
this lack of impropriety. Another
effect of this discretion was that
1 comi)letely forgot to attend my
class in WORLD DRAMA in
which 1 was to lead the group
discussion of Ibsen's hilarious
comedy, THE MASTER BUILD
ER. "f)h, well,” said I philosophi
rally, '‘-KX) yetirs from now, who
in the world will know the dif
ference ?”
1 then adjotirned once more to
Otrrin Refectory where 1 dined
upon 2 baked ]>otato halves, adorn
ed with a rubbery orange sub
stance known as “cheese”, a serv
ing of dandelion roots flavored with
vinegar, a group of tiny, dull green,
marble-like objects flavored with
nothing, :ind more of that tepid,
herb-like beverage to which 1 have
previously alhidcd. After the meal,
I retired with a few acquaintances
to the Rumpus Room of our dormi
tory where I smoked several hand-
rolled cigarettes and observed my
comrades whilst they engaged in
various light-hearted antics, “Ah,
youth.” 1 reflected, “tis so youth-
fttl!”
When 2:(X) finally came, I at
tended my class in h'rcnch Con
versation of which (ever faithful
to my jirinciiile of candour) I must
confess 1 am one of the leading
members. The class is a s m a 1 1
esoteric one, consisting of only S
students (the cream of the crop,
to use of vulgarism,) Second otily
to me in e.xcellcnce of pronuncia
tion is my cainarade de chambre
(as the French would say) who
takes a lively interest in the class
and fretiuently does extra-credit
assignments.
After French, I attended a 2-
hour laboratory period in FOOD
I’R FPARATION, where T, along
with several other young home-
makers-of-the-fttture, witnessed a
demonstration hy the Represen
tative of the F.vaporated Milk As
soc i a t i o n, Incorporated of the
United States of America, Chicago
Division. (She demonstrated the
uses of evaporated milk.)
After 1 had slipped away (I
knew 1 could not endure the pro-
stiic husiness of scrubbing crock
ery and cutlery on such a lovely
day as this) I hastened toward the
bureau de poste (as the French
would say) where we college stu-

1 Stopped outside the “extension
of the loctd draft board”. It was
so quiet—no bouncing ping pong
halls, no feminine voices, no
screaming of “cheat!” or “That’s
the card I’ve been waiting for I”
This surejy couldn’t be the Men’s
Sttident Center. I peered in and,
believe it or not, the men students
were studying! They were finally
persuaded to stop long enough to
tell me a little about themselves.
Jack Crim is a senior wJio “lives
as close to Clewell as you can get
and boards in the library.” He is
a piano major and is planning, with
Dati Hodges, a recital May 1. Dan
is already prepared to write out
his own recital pieces and tape
them on his violin. Dtm w'as a
little reticent about future plans
but he said that if anyone were
interested, more information could
be obtained by writing to him in
care of Fort Jackson.
During this latter conversation
R. L. Sprinkle, a freshman plan
ning to major in chemistry, smiled
smugly, “I’m too jmung and in-
nocetit for the Army.” Dan im
mediately assured him that he w'as
exactly \v hat they were looking
for. R. L. graduated from Rey
nolds last year with the “Amboy
Dukes crowd”.
Ralph I.awrence and F' u r n e y
Baker were reluctant to interrupt
their canasta game. Ralph is a
p i a n o major from Elkin. He
claims to be “the original man
student”, because he has been here
since the first males were admitted
five years ago. When he first came
here, he had never had a piano
lesson but had played by ear all
of his life.
After F'urney graduated from
Mars Hill, he came to Salem to
major in religious music. He is
the son of the Baptist minister in
Kernersville and had planned to be
a choir director. Bill Long’s
father is also a Baptist minister.
Bill was away in class, Itut the
concensus of opinion had it that he
would be a minister too.

Jean Reports
Midwinters,
"War Jitters”
By Jean Calhoun
Janie Jones and Johnnie Jones
were walking along Church Street.
Janie was wearing her Senior robe
and Johnnie, all at once, tripped
on an old discarded Biology book.
Janie looked at Johnnie; Johnnie
looked at Janie. Johnnie wondered
why Janie had on a Senior robe,
and Janfe wondered why Johnnie
was lying on the pavement. They
were concerned with each other
because they were sister and bro
ther. Let us look at our brother
and sister colleges because we are
naturally concerned with their acti
vities. (That was working hard
for an introduction!).
There was Claude Thornhill, and
I there was Bill Clarks from Atlanta.
There were Salem girls and David-
i son boys. There were Mid-Win-
I ters at State and Davidson. Festi-
’ vities, as usual, began on Friday
night in formal attire, while the
dance at State was informal. Sat
urday night showed a reverse of
the situation. Two Salem girls
sponsored this weekend : Blake Car-
Davidson bloomed out the first
ter at Lamba Chi Pledge dances in
Chapel Hill and Betty Ball at
Davidson. The sophomores at W.
C. also danced. The theme for
their traditional sophomore dance
was the Mardi Gras.
