Pasty Crawford
Patsy Crawford Is Original;
Paints, Knits, Designs Clothes
By Jean Davenport
That’s Patsy Crawford down
there on the floor. What’s she
doing? Why, she’s putting the
finishing touches on another pic
ture. She calls it “Death of a
Circus Clown.” Patsy always
paints unique subjects. That’s on^
reason the I. R. S. and the Salemit^
staff chose her Girl-of-the-Month
—she’s original. Those ideas of
hers always come through when
something has to be dreamed up,
painted or decorated.
This originality of Patsy’s isn’t
a new invention. Back in her high
school days in Kinston, she became
interested in interior decoration.
The school didn’t have a course in
it, but that didn’t stop Patsy. She
pored over books and magazines
about the subject at home. In
fact, she developed such an interest
that she’s been taking innumerable
Home Economics courses here that
give her interior decoration.
Designed Own Clothes
If you wonder where Patsy gets
her taste for clothes, that goes
back to high school, too. She de
signed them all herself! She says
she hasn’t time to do that in col
lege, so she just buys them now.
Evidently it didn’t take all her
time in high school, or else Patsy
was quite a busy girl. For two
years she was a cheerleader for
the Kinston football team, and in
her senior year was chief marshall
of her class. Recognizing her po
tentialities, the class elected her as
“Most Likely To Succeed”.
Where did the art come in ?
Patsy’s been painting and drawing
all her life. She didn’t take art
lessons until she came to Salem,
but she has had plenty of pre
paration. That was another of her
favorite hobbies. Although art is
her major here, Patsy still thinks
of it as a hobby. She says she
would like to sit in art lab all
day long. It’s a good thing she
likes it, because she has a lab of
some sort every afternoon of the
week. Three of them are art, two
are sewing and one is chemistry.
Patsy is a busy girl in college, too.
Loves Art History
She is also interested in the his
tory of art, especially in the eight
eenth century. She’s thinking of
getting her Master’s degree in art
history. There’s a med student at
Duke who might have other plans
for Patsy though—see that pin on
her sweater?
Between trips to Duke or to her
various labs, Patsy makes costumes
for the Pierrettes, works on the
Sights and Insights, goes to meet
ings of the I. R. C., or takes notes
for the Art Club of which she is
secretary. Did you go to the
Christmas Tea Sunday? Patsy and
Carmen Johnston were in charge
of the decorations. Last week
Patsy was busy directing the
Christmas decorations for Sisters
house. She was head of the com
mittee.
Busy Summertime Gal
Summers are almost as busy for
her as the winters. She helps her
mother and father run their boys’
camp at Morehead. There’s still
time to paint, though. Last sum
mer she decorated shadow boxes
with oil paints. She spends a lot
of time in the summer—believe it
or not—listening to classical music.
That’s another of her hobbies.. And
of course she knits constantly, sum
mer and winter. It took her two
years to knit her first pair of socks,
but production has increased since
then.
Patsy is one girl who has “been
around”. She was born in Kinston,
but she didn’t stay there long. Her
father played baseball in the World
Series. Before she was in the fifth
grade, she had lived in St. Louis,
Mo.; Springfield, Ohio; Florida and
Goldsboro. Then she lived another
year at Morehead while the camp
was being built. Finally the Craw
ford’s moved back to Kinstoff
where they’ve lived since then.
If you ever have any trouble
decorating your room, painting a
jjiicture, understanding music, darn
ing your clothes, knitting socks or
sailing a boat, ask Patsy. She may
be busy, but she’ll help you.
BiilingsToTell
Dicken’s‘Carol
The Salem College Alumna? As
sociation will present Clarke Bill
ings reading Dicken’s Christmas
Carol Sunday afternoon at 3:30
p.m. in Memorial Hall.
Before and after the reading, the
Choral Ensemble under the direc
tion of Paul Peterson will give a
program of Christmas music.
A free will offering will be taken
for decorating the foreign students’
rooms and for the student fund.
The presentation of the Christ
mas Carol was an annual tradition
in Winston-Salem for many years.
The late Dr. Frederick Koch pre
sented the story each year until
his death in 1943.
Bishop Howard . E. Rondthaler
personally continued the tradition
by telling the story to groups of
students in his home before the
Christmas holidays, but there was
no city-wide reading until this year.
This year townspeople and Salem
students will hear the ghost story
interpreted by Mr. Billings.
The Alumnae Association plans
to continue this event each year
if the public warrents it.
Christmas Hints Include Gifis
For Mom, Dad And Boy Friend
By Jean Patton
Eight more shopping days until Christmas, and you haven’t done
your shopping yet. The department stores downtown are crowded wit i
pushing Mammas, grabbing Daddys, screaming children, begging cousin,
unruly nieces and nephews and tottering great-aunts and uncles, the
pine on the street decorations is beginning to wilt, but the lights seem
to shine even brighter than they did a week ago.
Salemites are beginning to get that “before Christmasitis . In spite
carol singing.
Sawyer To Talk
At Love Feast
During the Christmas season, the
Rev. Edwin A. Sawyer will be
guest speaker for the Christmas
Love Feast at the Konnoak Hills
Moravian Church on Christmas
Eve. On New Year’s Eve, he will
speak at the watch night service
at New Philadelphia Moravian
Church.
Mr. Sawyer in his first year as
college chaplain has discovered
many duties outside of the college
work accompany the title.
Representing Salem, Mr. Sawyer
will speak about facing the New
Year at the First Moravian Church
in Greensboro.
He has appeared recently as
guest speaker in two assemblies
and at various churches. He gave
a devotional program at Mineral
Springs High School and one at
Walkertown High School last
week.
Besides visiting the girls doing
field work in his Christian Educa
tion course, this week he spoke at
the Freshman seminar concerning
the relation of God and man.
Several Aveeks ago when the
pastor of the Immanuel Moravian
Church had a heart attack, he ser
ved as supply pastor for the church.
of excitem^it and carol singing,
Christmas gifts must be bought.
Here are a few suggestions before
you join the mass of mad gift
hunters.
Your biggest problem will prob
ably be Great-aunt Bess. If she
reads in bed, the ideal gift would
be a woolen bed jacket, or one of
the book lights that turn off auto
matically w'hen she goes to sleep.
If she doesn’t like to read, a
w'ooly scarf to keep her neck warm
or a silk one to go under her best
winter coat would be perfect.
Knit Socks For Granddad
For Granddad knit sox with
leather soles are handy to wear to
breakfast. Perhaps his pipe holder
has one vacancy that needs to be
filled; or if not, a big can of to
bacco would fill the bill. Long
winter evenings can be entertain
ing with a leather bound collector’s
edition of Shakespeare, Browning
or Keats.
Mom necessitates a lot of
thought. Perhaps she needs white
string gloves to wear with Jaer
sport clothes or long kid or suede
ones for dressing up. Also for the
dressy moments are matching pin
and earring sets. Before bedtime
she needs bedroom shoes to match
her robe. All wool ones are more
serviceable. In an entirely dif
ferent vein, picture frames can al
ways be used, especially if you’re
planning to give her a picture.
Dad presents a lesser problem.
Besides the conventional white
shirt with a tie to match his favor
ite suit, a scarf, either soft wool
or jersey, would be ideal for his
business trips. Also perfect if he
travels, especially by train, are
pullman slippers. A set containing
shaving soap, talc and after-shave
lotion would give Pop that “manly”
smell.
Model Airplane and Kit
Little Brother. What does one
get for little brother? If he’s
typical, you buy armloads of books
on building model airplanes and a
kit of wood, glue and insignae for
practical application. If brother is
growing up to the point of fuzz on
the cheeks, a razor and some
blades are the gifts to inflate his
ego.
Dolls that cry, say Mamma and
all but walk by themselves are for
little sister. A huge wardrobe must
accompany the gift. Fuzzy animals
for little sis are always perfect.
For your room-mate you want a
very special gift. If she’s the gad
about gal, a traveling jewelry case
is what she needs. An extra pair
of stockings will save her from em
barrassing moments. The clocked
ones are particularly attractive. If,
on the other hand, she’s the stu
dious type, a three-cornered pillow
or a bed chair will prop her up
in bed while she crams for tests.
Any kind of jewelry is appreciated
—earrings, pearls or medallions.
“Pogo” For Little Cousin
Little cousins love comics.
“Pogo” is a genuinely good book
for the nine-year-old and up. Over
alls or frilly blouses would please,
depending upon the sex.
Your special Jack, Bill or Bob
would appreciate a picture, be he
civilian or soldier. For the civilian
boyfriend a cashmere sweater is
put to good use, as are cuff links
and tie clasp sets. If he’s in the
service a dop kit is handy. A radio,
portable or plug-in, is entertaining.
Assuming that most of the dorms
will have an “Inexpensive present”
party, rubber-tipped bobby pins are
heading the list of what a girl can
always use. Whether it’s bobby
pins, hair nets or eyebrow tweezers,
the gift should be useful.
