Six Weeks
Tests Prove
Disastrous
By Betty Parks
Grades are going into the office
now. Soon faculty advisors will
begin to ask certain individuals to
“droi> by ibe office, and tear-
splattered letters will he sent home
explaining in great detad just how
and why deficiencies occurred. In
another week we will have for
gotten what it is to study all after
noon and night memorizing lists,
chemical formulas and various art
schools, and our days will be uti
lized in loafing until reading day.
But right now we are a pretty
over-worked group of girls, each
with her list of gripes and worries,
trying to out do those of the next
. . ,
The music appreciation crew has
a most ingenious study method.
For days they sit in the listening
room trying to pick out clues on
each record, just to simplify iden
tifying them on the test. Some
times the clues get a little confus
ing, hut this type Jof memor/
crutch is usually effective. For
example : why try to remember the J
themes from Brahms “Academic
h'estival Overture” when all you
have to do is remember that it
sounds like “The Sunday School
Is Over,” “The Farmer’s In the
Dell,” and “Gaudeamiis Igitur.” Of
course, the written part of the
exam presents a problem in that
it is a bit difficult to find clues
for definitions, time values and key
signatures; most students just re
sort to the old-fashioned method
of leaving them as they are, sans
clues.
The Johnson scholars had no
jiarticular method for studying—
for proof, consult the test papers.
They could quote pages of the
Journal concerning Roswell’s life
before he met Johnson, but
reference to such famous men as

A great amount of their period of
pre-exam study seemed to have
been devoted to muttering about
how many hours their classmates
had studied. Mr. Spencer, if you

seconds as she tried to forget self
and enjoy the last few wonderful
minutes. The dance was not over,
but a wonderful daj' had come to
a close as Jane wearily seized the
Greyhound’s ear and again climbed
aboard. Together with some forty-
odd tired girls she waved farewell
to her date, knowing that she
would see Snark next week-end.

With sleet and snow one day
and sunshine and blue skies the
next, thoughts turn to summer—be
they in the form of “Surely this
winter can’t last forever,” or “Sum
mer’s here today for sure.
The faculty and students have in
common two things as far as
tentative summer plans go—trips
and studying.
Dr. Todd will combine the two
in a tour of practically every col
lege on the eastern seaboard to
look up material for research. He
will probably start out at Duke
and end up with Harvard. Sand
wiched between this tour and a
vacation trip to a Eew Jersey
beach the Todds will attempt to
revive last year’s garden which
has become hopelessly choked with
weeds.
As usual Carolina will get its
share of Salemites: Martha Fit-
chett, Carolyn Harris, Margaret
Thomas, Marion Watson, Beth
Coursey, Blake Carter, Jean Moye,
Ann Lowe, Kitty Faucette, Jane
Schoolfield and Emily Mitchell.
Reverend Sawyer will begin on
his Doctor’s degree in New Testa
ment at Duke. After a session
there, he plans to relax with his
family at a summer cottage in the
Pokano Mountains — if you call
trail - blazing, mountain - climbing
and teaching his boy and two
girls to swim, relaxing.
Theresa Hedrick is planning to
squeeze in trips to Ocean Drive
while working as a lab assistant in
her hometown hospital.
Miss Byrd and Clinky are already
planning navy blue outfits for
their tour of Europe this summer.
Miss Byrd is chaperoning a tour
leaving July 3. Several other
Salemites are wistful^ considering.
Julia Timberlake is planning to
return for a second year of teach
ing kindergarten (and she adds,
washing diapers and scrubbing
floors) in Rocky Mount.
Miss Covington’s plans are still
hazy, but she is sure they will
include traveling “here, there and
yon” with some of her nephews
or nieces and taking at least two
s ummet
what
economics courses
school somewhere.
Dena Karres is flying to Canada
to visit an aunt who lives on a
lake (she can’t remember
lake).
Mrs. Heidbreder has about fifteen
plans, none of which are definite '
The first part of her summer wi||
be spent getting us off and the
last part, getting us back. j\s ^
for the in-between, maybe travel-
ing or more graduate work at
Columbia.
Joanne Field has a great prospect
for the summer—selling harmonica
tuners—excellent working con- ^
ditions and chances for advance-
ment. On her nights off she will
assist Whiz in his dance band. ■
Mrs. Moran will be busy decorat- ^
ing her newly-finished house, tak
ing advanced First Aid courses and
freezing and canning the products ^
of the vegetable garden she is
planning to begin. Dr. Todd conld
give her valid information on the
care of lettuce, his only effort
which survived the weeds. 1
Lola Dawson has a job as a coun
sellor and dramatics teacher at 1
Camp Yonahlossie- A play a week;
ought to keep her busy. [
Mr. Curlee insists that summer!
is a long time off. He hasn't
gotten that far yet.
