Page Four THE SALE MITE September 30. I95S pTCshvificiti Jticludcs Dubious Glance At Sophomore Threats McKeithen. Sudden Death Bewailed By Student Body By Emily McClure ■‘Worin” Stone, well-known and beloved resident of 209 South Dorrn, Salem College, passed away quietly at 5:45 Sunday afternoon after an illness of several days. His untimely death at the tender age of six weeks (he had just begun teething) came as a great shock to his family and friends throughout the campus. “Worm” was a true alligator of the purest cold-blooded strains and w’ill long be remembered for his dedicated ambition to become a pocketbook. In view of their extreme devotion to the deceased, the inhabitants of South were given free cuts to at tend the final rites. The burial was handled by Vogler’s, and the North Carolina Wild Life Commis sion was in charge of the impres sive, full swamp funeral. Survivors include his guardian, lean Stone, godmother, Patsy Mc- Auley, and cousins Toni Gill, Nancy Warren, Dottie Ervin, Ann Knight, Ann Crenshaw, and Kate Cobb. Jean Stone was under sedatives and was not available for comment, but she was heard to say, “There’ll never be another alligator like “Worm”. Dottie Ervin, who nursed the patient and was by his side at the time of his expiration, said, “It was awful—just awful. He gave me the mcfst imploring look, then closed his mouth, turned up his tail, and—oh, it was terrible.” “He couldn’t play bridge, but we loved him,” mused Toni Gill. In respectiful memory of the aforesaid party, this elegy has been \vritten: " TO “WORM” Green and slimy. But never grimy; Skin like leather For inclement weather; We miss thee and thy toothless smiles— O, thou purest of reptiles! Welcome Back SALEMITES Tom Perry & Staff By Jeane Smitherman The freshmen’s view of Salem is slightly tempered with what we ex pected to find-but didn’t- and what we didn’t expect to find—but When we were naive high school seniors, Salem meant the debonair, fun-loving college girl who, Dag- wood-sandwiched between evening engagements, bridge games, and uptown jaunts, somehow managed to have enough merit grades to dance each week-end away on some far-off campus. Now that we’re here, we still like to think that. But as the saying goes, “faint necessarily so.” We anticipated finding ourselves lost in a mad rush,_^ being bewil dered, and wishing terribly that we could go home for a day. But an excellently planned orientation pro gram, a group of absolute angels called senior advisers, and our in comparable big sisters abolished all bewilderment; we slid into our new positions without incident or acci dent. To say wh'at we thought the faculty would resemble could make us look rather foolish. Besides, it might give the Sophomores some ideas (which they need, we’re sure) for Rat Week. Oh yes—Rat Week! That’s un doubtedly the major thing we did not expect. Or should we say, sus pect ? However, some well-mean ing friends have informed us that we shall soon be privileged to SHOP AT liss, Junior and Tall Fashions participate. As freshmen, we view: ... the faculty hopefully, since we have only two light cuts. . . . the Seniors gratefully, for teaching us the finer points of what not to do. . . . the Juniors companionably, for being - so helpful to their little sisters. . . . our faculty advisers respect fully, for adding us to their busy schedule. . . . the Salem campus as one of the most charming places we’ve ever been. . . . the cigarette and Coke mach ines ruefully. How they do drink nickels and dimes! . . . our cubbyholes and cloisters (or rooms, as they are referred to by some) despairingly. Clut tered maybe, but we can al ways study on the floor. . . . the meals warily (with re gard to calories). “Have I had two or three of these rolls?” . . . the Sophomores. When Rat Week is last week and the Seniors have follied, the Freshmen will tell that Salem is positively the perfect “home-away- from-home.” McPhails 410 N.
