Dorm Mothers
Like Their Job
By Jane Brown
After much chasing here and
there and into many blind alleys,
1 finally cornered four of the house
presidents. Nellie Ann Barrow was
the first one I ran into as she was
coming from hearing Rev. Goodson.
Graciously she ushered me into her
room in Sisters’ still exclaiming
over the fact that someone wished
to interview her.
Nellie Ann likes to do anything
and everything, but sports are
really her pet. “I just love them
all and right now 1 am real hep
on bop.” Bop is the newest fad
around Sisters’. She loves being a
“house mother”. “They’re not a
hit of trouble.”
A home economics major, Nellie
Ann has been known to everyone
on campus as freshman class presi
dent and is very prominent in such
organizations as the “Y”, I. R. C.
and Home Economics Club.
'.Martha Thornburg entertained
me, along with the cockroaches, in
South. She loves to knit, but still
doesn’t, seem to be able to finish
that pair of argyles started last
year. Her favorite pastimes ?—
“Music and going away on week
ends”, she told me all in the same
breath.
Camps and Swims
This past summer, Martha worked
at a camp and also received her
Life Saver’s Badge. “She also got
the instructor along with the
badge”, piped in her roommate.
Martha was a member of the
Student Council last year and is a
member of the I. R. S. and Sights
and Insights Staff. Her parting
words were, “My pet peeve still is
and will be going to the Carolina-
Washington and Lee game and
missing it.”
“I’m from the country, but don’t
you think my accent has changed
since my visit to New York this
summer?” This was from Carolyn
Watlington who thinks Strong
beats all the dorms thus far but
feels that maybe she shouldn’t even
comment on it.
Carolyn, a sociology a'nd eco
nomics major, takes a part in I.
k- C., Sights and Insights and, of
course, the Student Council. She

Helen Fung
Gives Album
To College
Helen Fung presented a beautiful
scrap book about Singapore as a
gift to the Dean, faculty and under
graduates of Salem College at the
I. R. C. meeting last night at 7
o’clock. The gift was accepted for
Salem by a member of the admini
stration.
Helen fixed the book with the
help of her friends especially for
Salem. She said when she found
out how nice Salem would be, she
wanted to give something of her
own making to the college in ap
preciation.
Cover Is Decorated
On the cover of the scrapbook,
Helen put the Coat of Arms of the
Colony of Singapore. Inside, after
the presentation page, she included
some introductory material about
Singapore in general—social lif^,
historical background, geography
and government.
Rehearsals For
With Revivals,
By Connie Murray
“Gimme that old time religion,
gimme that old time religion, gim
me that old time religion, it’s good
enough for me.” The strains of
this familiar tune came to my ears
as I opened the door of Old Chapel
to watch play practice.

of Preacher Haggler, was leading

the singing in this revival scene.
Before he had reached a frenzy.
Miss Reigner yelled “Cut!” and tlje
cast took a five minute break.
I walked over to Bill Woesten-
diek and asked him if he wore
tennis shoes for any particular
reason. He explained that his part
was athletic in places, and he wore
the shoes to prevent any falls. The
other night at practice, the scene in
rehearsal was one in which Bill
swings a witch by her feet and
hands. He almost dropped her
twice, losing'his balance in the at-
fiempt to land her on her feet.
Hence, the tennis shoes.
Ann Campbell and Denise Mc-
Glaughorn were huddled on one
side of the stage, obviously in a
deep discussion. Intent on gather-

Library Report
Miss Grac-e L. Siewers, Salem
College librarian, has made her
library report for the year 1952-
1953.
' The report states that the num
ber of volumes in the library has
passed the 40,000 mark by reaching
a total of 40,837, an increase of
1200 volumes during the year. Cir
culation last year totaled 11,582
volumes, only 518 of which were
fictional.
The number of reserve books
used in the library not included in
the previous number was 2,867.
The library regularly receives 284
magazines and periodicals and
seven newspapers, the report in
dicated.
Miss Siewers, in her report, said:
“We are glad to note that the cir
culation of stack books increased
by 1,460 volumes over the previous
year and the use of reserve books
shows an increase of 974 volumes.”
The report to the administration
and the president shows that the
Friends of the Library organization
contributed $687.50 in cash as well
as a number of gift volumes.
ling a few facts from this discus
sion, I asked if I might listen for
a few moments.
“Lawd, honey chile, ya’ sho’ kin.
We wuz jes’ wonderin’ if we’d ever
git out of th’ habit of talkin’ like
this here.”
“All right, everyone in place for
the general store scene,” called
Miss Reigner. I watched the scene
progress to the point where John
Spinks lifts a barrel of apples. He
strained as he lifted the barrel
slowdy off the floor. The muscles
in his arms tightened, and his face
turned red. With obvious effort
he got the barrel waist high, then
slowly put it down.
“Better do that again,” said Miss
Reigner. And not only did John
do it once again, but four times.
I asked him later if it wasn’t a
little tiring to do this scene so
many times.
“Not really,” he replied. “You
see, the barrel is empty. It just
looks like it’s full of apples.”
With that, T left Old Chapel to
the cast and “Dark of the Moon.”
The rest of the book includes
pictures of various aspects of life
in Singapore accompanied by writ
ten information. Especially in
teresting is the page used for reli
gious buildings. These include a
Hindu temple, Chinese temple,
Malay Mosque and a Christian
church.
Other pages include pictures and
information on the government
buildings, public buildings, Singa-,
pore’s baby skyscrapers, schools,
tourist resorts and recreational faci
lities. - ,
One of the customs Helen pic-'
tures is that of the howkers. These
are peddlers who sell such things
as cakes, eggs and vegetables in
the streets.
Festivals Pictured
The rest of the book consisted
of pages on the festivals, coro
nation celebration, Singapore’s
modern buildings, Singapore at
night and various local scenes.
The book ends with a page on
Singapore’s advancement to city-
hood and information about the
Coat of Arms.
