Rattles And Diapers Fill The Practice Home
As Six Seniors ^Mother’ Eleven-Month Old Baby
By Francine Pitts and
Betsy Forrest
Cooking, dish washing, keeping
house and attending class suddenly
became secondary with the girls in
the Home Management House last
Saturday.
An eleven month old guest had
arrived. She is Theresa Ann Las-
eckie, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Leonard Laseckie, friends of Miss
Hodges from Winston-Salem. Last
Saturday when they became the
parents of another daughter, The
resa came to the Home Manage
ment house to stay until her mother
is able to take care of her again.
Before the baby came, all the
girls knew about her was what
they could tell from a picture of
a little girl in overalls, with one
ear of a bunny rabbit hanging out
of her mouth.
“We’d all made such beautiful
plans for the week-end; a dinner

for our boy friends Saturday night,
and a picnic Sunday,” says Anne
Merritt. “We just hadn’t quite in
cluded the little girl in the over
alls in our plans, but KAPLOP!
Saturday afternoon, Theresa ar
rived.”
“After we’d found a place for the
baby bed, play pen, diapers and
millions of other things, we all sat
down in the living room and just
looked at her.
She looked back at us, not cry
ing, but probably just as astonished
at us as we were at her,” Ann con
tinued, “I know this sounds gushy,
but there’s no other way to say it.
We loved her already, and strangely
enough, forgetting our plans for
the weekend, began to feel sorry
for her because of the adjustment
she was going to have to make to
her six new mothers.”
The girls had never met Theresa’s
daddy and were expecting him soon
after Theresa’s arrival. When the
boor-bell rang, and was answered,
there stood a fatherly looking gent
leman who was promptly welcomed
in to see his daughter.
The man replied, “I’m, sorry,
ma’m, but I’m from the diaper ser
vice.” Several other humorous
things have occurred. For instance
there was the morning Sarah Sue
was changing Theresa’s diaper and
three pearls rolled out.
The amazing thing about Theresa
is that she never cries. She has
not even so much as uttered a
whimper since she left her mother
Saturday.
When she wakes up in the morn
ing, she merely coos and plays
with her bunny rabbit until she
wants someone to feed her. Once
when Anne Merritt gave the baby
her bottle of orange juice the nip
ple got stopped up.
Instead of insisting by deafening
yells to have it unstopped, she
merely lay in her crib playing with
it until Anne came back to see if
she had finished.
“We’re looking forward more
than ever to the day when we can
have a child of our own,” says
Puddin’ Bass. “But the problem is,
how does one train a child to be
so good?”

"Leap Year" Of Faculty Play
Will Reveal Hidden Talents
By Sandy Whitlock and
Mary McNeely Rogers
There is a phenomena known as
the faculty play which is veiled as
a deep dark secret until its opening
night. Once every four years the
faculty condescends to impart their
hidden talents to the students. The
“leap*year” of the faculty play has
arrived and on March 8 the show
goes on in Memorial Hall Each
faculty member takes a definite
part in the writing, acting and
directing of this production which
is sponsored by the World Student
Service Fund and the Strong
Scholarship.
Secret rehearsals are being held
all over campus now. Though many
of the faculty don’t know anything
but their separate parts and will
not disclose any hints, perhaps a
review of the past faculty plays
will give you a clue of what to
expect on March 8.
Twelve years ago the faculty play
was an operetta entitled “Merlin’s
Diary”. It was produced by the
“Medi-Evil Opera Company of
Salem College and Salem Aca
demy.” This is a play in three acts
and takes place in King Oughter’s
Knight Club. There is a cast of
forty-five, including such characters
as King Oughter and Queen Griny-
dean; Sid Dance-a-lot and Sir
Gadabout, A-quinas and B-quinas,
scholastic philosophers; and nine
chorus girls. The show centers
around the contest of King Ought
er’s Knight Club against the Count
of Morgan le Fay, Queen of Evil
Forces, which stands behind no
cuts, the Demon Examinations, and
week-end classes. The outcome of
this struggle is a tournament in
game. fL
the form of a football
Knight^ eventually win a rice b
a sugar bowl, a cotton bowl a7
bacco bowl, and orange bowl 1
finally the sugar bowl, Morgan k
Fay is “bowled over.”
Eight years ago another facu],
play was presented. This play
an operetta entitled “If Yo„’
Woogie, Call Me Boogie” -ri,-
a pky in three acts and takes pla«
in Delirium Hall at Failun, CoL
There is a cast of fifty-two. T|
plot centers around the election ol
a May Queen for Failum CoIlip„
The ballot box is stuffed by rt
co-eds and a May King is electe
instead of a Queen. This terrible
plight is corrected by The Tlw
Red Man, the ghost of BrothS
House who crowns the Queen and
himself King.
The faculty play four years ago
was another operetta entitled “It's
A Riot” or “Gammie Get Yont
Gun”—a tragedy in three acts. It
takes place in the University of
Seville. There is a cast of forty,
one including such characters as
Ivecita Hixsona, Dali Gramli, Roy
Camello, Isabel Miranda Welcher
and Katherine Niquelsone. The
plot centers around a strike of the
students led by the Don Juan on
campus. The strike is for sucb
things as long weekends, unlimited
cuts, and cars on campus. As a
result of this strike, all the students
were put on probation and Don
Juan had all his privileges taken
away.
From the anaylsis of these three
plays it is obvious that it is practi
cally impossible to know wbat to
expect this year, but we shall soon
