Pa?e Fotir THE SALEMITE March 7. iQci Pictured above is Frances Williams of Fayetteville. She was elected Miss Charm at the conclusion of the Charm Week sponsored by I. R. S. Sophisticated Voice And Poise Personify Salem’s Miss Charm By Eleanor Fry .Miss Charm held up a lovely silk print dress sent by her Mother from Richmond and looked criti cally into the mirror. “I know I’ll be sorry if I don’t keep it. You know, I just love good-looking clothes.” Then she turned back to her cup of instant coffee, a routine ‘fpick-up” after afternoon classes. Transfers To Salem Frances Williams, chosen as Salem’s Miss Charm of 1952 by the I. R. S., is a junior from Fayet teville. She entered Salem this year after graduating from St. Mary’s and is crazy about it. The girls are so friendly and wonder ful. “The first thing 1 found out before coming up here was that the honor system really works!” Her main interest is a Deke at Carolina. That diamond-shaped pin we have all noticed came back to Salem February Sth on Frances’ sweater after one of the many Carolina weekends she loves. Has Difficulty With Greek A history major, Frances has no difinite career in mind; she would like to go to Europe right after graduation. And before then: “If I ever get through Greek I’ll be all right!” She is a member of the Canterbury Club, Modern Dance Club and the Pierrettes. She is especially interested in the di recting aspect of theatre and prov ed her ability as stage manager of The Innocents. Frances loves to read—anything, including English lit, but she hates to write; “I can’t even spell my name I” She loves Stan Kenton’s records and would give her eye teeth to play the piano, but hates to get up in the morning. She is a coffee, fiend, but despises any type of red food. “It’s poisonous looking.” Any spare moments are occupied with bridge or golf. Reaction To Election One afternoon early this week, an I. R. S. representative came up to Frances and said, “You have been voted Miss Charm!” “Thank you very much. What do I have to do?” Then suddenly light dawned; this was not the “Girl of the Month” but Salem’s “Miss Charm of 1952!” “If only I’d realized it in time to put on a wool dress instead of having my picture taken in that old skirt and sweater!” Friendly, warmly spontaneous, poised with a rich sophisticated voice, and a gracious hostess over that cup of coffee even after a hard day—this is Miss Charm of 1952. The Dance By Ruth Derrick ■ The mirror showed the blackened room. The whirling human mass in full. The black and light of dancing figures. The spin and twirl of turning dancers. The blackened room was filled with music. Plaintive, wailing, sobbing notes. The tune was welling to the ceiling. Clinging there and weeping, sing ing. The music crept down through the dancers. The merging, dancing throng en folding. The sobbing music sinking touched them And set the turning mass fast spinning. Fast spinning round and up—then downward-—■ The wailing music soared down screaming And set the human top fast spin ning. The music choked and, hoarsely weeping. Let free the top and sank down throbbing. The top spun down and slowly sinking Stood there—the turning stopping. The music floated, gently failing— It floated whispering—dying, weep ing. ’52 Varsity Is Announced The 1952 basketball varsity was announced by Mrs. Erwin Moran last Friday. The class managers and A. A. basketball managers selected the team.

For the most part the French, he said, would like to see Eisenhower president. “Unity has been achieved in Europe under his direction.” Of particular interest to him dur ing his trip to WinstonrSalem was a visit to Reynolds cigarette fact ory. He showed extreme curiosity about each detail of the cigarette machines and was impressed by the efficiency in the operation of the factory.- Mr. Schreiber expressed aston ishment at the number of souvenirs given in America for advertising purposes. “Such salesmanship I have never seen.” At Salem the wiry, good-looking writer was surprised at how young the Salem girls looked. He was entertained at dinner and a coffee preceeding his lecture. Mr. and Mrs. Reed Serrat were also guests. Mr. Serrat is editor of the local newspaper. I HOME LAUNDRY i AND I DRY CLEANING I “We Specialize in Evening Dresses” Yellow Ruffles, Chintz Ties Add To Davy Bright yellow ruffled cotton cur tains with figured chintz tie-backs and valences have completed the redecoration in Davy. A new ruf fled piano bench cover of the same yellow figured chintz blends with the cream color of the piano. These additions represent many long hours in the home ec. lab. They were made by Patsy Turner and Molly Quinn. Work was started for the re decoration of Davy at Thanksgiv ing.
