Day Students
Take Excursion
By Drane Vaughn
Last Saturday eleven day stu
dents, accompanied by Dr. and
Mrs. Michael Lewis, wept to Pine-
haven Estates on Baden Lake to
spend the weekend. Phyllis Tier
ney had invited all the local Salem-
ites down to her family’s summer
home at the Lake, which is near
Albemarle. Those going early
.found time to travel the Lake, one
Toi the offshoots of the Yadkin
■River, in Phyllis’s inboard motor
craft.
Upon Arrival
After everyone had arrived, chief
cooks Florence Sqaugh and Nancy
Ramsey Reynolds with the help of
Charlotte McGlaughon and Drane
Vaughn prepared a big supper of
spaghetti and meat sauce, lettuce
salad, French bread and coffee.
Brownie cookies contributed by
Mrs. Lewis and ice cream contri
buted by a local concern made up
the dessert.
While Mary Lou Whiteheart and
Ruth Mcllroy cleaned up the
dishes, the group turned to games
of “Hearts” and “Charades.” You
should have seen Dr. Lewis acting
out “Autobiography of Benjamin
Franklin” while teammates Betty
Ball and Sally Ann Hudson tried
to guess the name of the book
he was portraying.
When the last bach of fresh
popcorn was gone, when the coffee
pot was finally empty, the day stu
dents began to go to bed — in
double-decker bunks, sofa-beds,
roll-away beds, camp cots and even
sleeping bags. On Sunday morn-
;ing, with Sara Willard and Sara
Watson fixing breakfast, the group
ate and cleaned up, and after one
more boat ride and one more
snapped Kodak picture (ask Sara
Watson about one of hers), star
ted home.
A Grand Weekend
In spite of blood-shot eyes, fuzzy
■ minds, and faraway looks, the
'girls say that it was a grand week
end, and that they especially want
to thank Dr. and Mrs. Lewis, their
sponsors, for going with them, and
Phyllis’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. M. Tierney, for having them
down
Bonnie Hall entertains her father, her mother and her brother during Parent Weekend. The Hall
family is pictured in Bonnie’s room in Clevrell.

cure for homesickness; they in
vited their mothers and fathers to

started swarming to Salem campus

conducted their parents on a tour
around campus, especially empha
sizing the swimming pool and the
sun bathers.
Parents Met
Miss Roberts and student host
esses met the parents as they ar
rived. Clewel! Reception Room

! ing. Rose Ann Worthington on
! props, Betty Lynn Wilson on
I make-up, and Margaret Blakeney

About Events
In Germany
Editor’s note: The following is
part of a letter received by a Salem
student from Ragnhild Wurr, a
student here last year from Ger
many:
I wonder how Salem campus
looks by now. I guess that soon
you will have the first flowers
while we are stil deep in snow and
ice. Sometimes when it is real
bitterly cold I think of the weather
over there and the winter in Win
ston-Salem. I wonder how the.
foreign girl from Austria does feel
because they are still having more
snow in their country.
The other day I went to see the
movie “Gone With the Wind”. It
was the first time they played this
movie in Germany. I liked it very
much because so many things re
minded me of the South. And es
pecially when they played Dixie I
Imost cried, and I thought of the
many times when you stood up in
Chapel singing Dixie full of en
thusiasm.
For the moment I am home for
vacation. We have three weeks of
vacation, but the first one I spent
with other students in Tirolian
Alps skiing. We had a wonderful
time, but on the third day I fell
and hurt my ankle. In the begin
ning of March school starts again
and I do hope that I can go down
in time for it to Munich, as I hate
to miss so much.
Now I plan to finish school as
soon as possible and be on my own.
Then I want to see England and
maybe France. I only wonder
what will happen to us Europeans,
if we do not agree on the Euro
pean Defense Community or a
United Europe. There are so many
countries with their own interests
which they do not want to give
up, and then the wound between
France and Germany seems never
to heal.
I have heard from Gunilla and
Liisa regularly and they both told
me to give you all their love.
Gunilla is studying medicine and
likes it very much. This summer
both of them plan to come to the
continent and I hope to see them.

THERE MUST BE A REASON WHY Camel is
America’s most popular cigarette—leading
all other brands by billions! Camels have
the two things smokers want most —rich,
full flavor and cool, cool mildness
after pack! Try Camels for 30 days and see
how mild, how flavorful, how thoroughly
enjoyable they are as your steady smoke!
