April 13, 1951 THE SALEMITE Page Three Clara Belle and Lee Leave Salemite and Lit Books By Jane Watson and Lola Dawson The time is S :30 on Thursday afternoon. Two tired, ink-smudged forms are huddled over the sink in the Sun Printing Company. Their conversation ranges from “Do you think that headline on class officers wall fit?” to “Won der what w'e can use for a feature next week ?” The shorter one stands on tiptoe to reach the towels while the other one puts her watch and rings back on. After rechecking the sixth page proof “The Age of Johnson,” the ability to squeeze in the last few lines of type, chocolate pie, letters from Frank scattered around the Salem ite office, editorials, history criti ques. We see Clara Belle—sitting Clara Belie LeGrand for mistakes, they leave. They have left ' behind two aprons with Clara Belle and Lee printed on the fronts—two aprons and a set of high standards for the Salemite to live up to. Clara Belle and Lee— Clara Belle, and we think of Do You (Continued from , page two) was only that I understood now. Do you rememj^er ? You accuse me of losing faith in others and in myself. How else can I feel when I look at what others have done to my world and realize my own inability to change it. T am understandably reluctant to sacrifice too much for some thing an atomic, bomb may destroy in a moment. Perhaps in my con stant whirl of excitement I am seeking a security I have never known — an escape from facing life. For now' there is more talk of bombs and stamps and the chimes have already begun to ring and the child who someday rides his tricycle to the scrap heap may be mine.

Lee, and W'e think of a blue con vertible, of Ellen in “Goodbye My Fancy,” annual copy, A’s in Mil- Lou, visits with Miss Byrd, a figure curled in a chair writing, humorous columns, more serious interview's, and a short story to be sent to the “Atlantic Monthly” contest. We see Lee painting flats in Old Chapel while she .is w'aiting for her next cue. Clara Belle and Lee—the Salemite w'ill miss them. Clewell Fund Reaches ^32 Approximately $35.00 was col lected from the sale of stationery and note cards in the campaign to redecorate Davy Jones. Mary Lou Bridgers directed the drive. Next year’s house president of Clew'ell will be in charge of the actual redecoration, which will in clude new curtains, fresh coats of painl for the chairs and tables and cushions for the chairs. TOWN STEAK HOUSE S. Hawthorne Rd, Phone 2-0005 Drama Class Produces New Directors By Catherine Birckel Last semester, in room 29 three directors were born. Miss Riegner announced to her theatre class very coldly, “This semester you have acted — next ' semester you W'ill direct.” You see, one never stops discovering new talents. Coming out of this sacred room 29, I felt very inspired. “I have become a director—” I could see it already. A beautiful set, a lot of actors, a wonderful play and everything would be right. But it seems that in life, reality is always lower than ideals, though it is hard to realize sometimes— The three new directors threw themselves into the task. Buried under piles and piles of books, forgetting to sleep, eat and all other trifling material details of an earthy life, they came out into the sun as victors. They had found the “wonderful plays”, the plays able to excite the artistic imagina tion of real directors. The next step on this hard road was to find a lot of actors —distinguished, talented actors. None of the direc tors were worried. Salem has a solid dramatic past and has re vealed promising stars. They knew' this and felt secure. But the devil w'as playing tricks on them, laugh ing at them ‘as they sat in room 100 South waiting in vain for the stars to try out. They decided to make propaganda. The stars W'ere busy somewhere else. But “direc tors must never be discouraged.” (“Plaj' Production”, page ift). After a few more days spent hunt ing among Salem geniuses, they found at last some volunteers. Now to “Play the play”! MORRISETTES DEPT.
