Young, Versatile Miss Peatre
Is Impressed by Salem Traditoin
By Pat Ward
The head of our Home Economics
Department this year, Miss Mar
garet Peatre, calls Salisbury her
home. Her family consists of two
brothers, a , cocker spaniel, a chi
huahua (that is part terrier), and
the usual set of parents.
.After attending Mount Ulla High
S.chool, she journeyed to Woman’s
College of U. N. C. for four years
where, sjie.i,received her B. S. de
gree in Home Economics, and her
teaching certificate. Her first ex
perience, in teaching was at East
Margiaret Peatre
Bend High School near here. There
she taught physical education,
English, folk dancing, and managed
to squeeze in a little home econo
mics.
In 1954 she received an appoint
ment as Graduate Assistant to the
Departnrent of Education in Home
Economics at W. C. After com
pleting her gjaduate study, she be
came part of our Salem faculty.
When asked about her ambition
she replied, “I just hope to get
done all. that I have started.” Some
of her' “Co-curric” activities are:
refinishing furniture, taking music
le.ssons, singing in the choir, and
doing most .of her own sewing.
The most versatile teacher likes
Salem becau.se of the advantages
offered at a small school, the reli
gious feeling possessed by Salem-
lies, and of course — our Salem
Tradition. She was most impres
sed by the tour of “Old Salem.”
Her biggest chore this year is
director of the Home Management
House; and now, after getting used
to things, she finds it hard to be
lieve that the girls will soon be
moving out. She is sure that it
will be much too quiet without the
gang and the “Hoover Rhap
sody”.
But 1 don t think she need worry
about the quietness, as Salemites
will keep dropping in to say “Wel
come to Salem, Miss Peatre—we’re
glad you’re here !”
Party Adds
iTo The Spirit
of Halloween
I By Pat Fiynt
.As I returned from a Monday
night practice in music hall I
shivered and looked at the full
moon, half expecting to see a black
I figure on a broom-stick dart across.
Funny, I’d never thought of
Halloween at Salem before. But
tonight, marching around the din
ing ball with the other masked
juniors, I somehow caught the
spirit of October 31.
Once inside Old Chapel I knew'
others had caught the spirit too.
1 saw freshmen, sophomores, jun
iors, seniors, academy girls, and
faculty members milling around
brightly decorated booths. In the
center of the floor people were
walking around hungrily eyeing a
row of beautiful homemade cakes.
Some bobbed for apples.
Others, either unlucky or overly
anxious, w'ere buying hot dogs and
cold drinks from Carol and Jane.
1 heard a low grumble behind
me and turned around to see, not
a spook, but Mr. Campbell. “Just
can’t seem to get those pennies in
there”.
Over in the corner Mrs. Heid-
breder was having better luck
pitching balls through a mouth, and
Ann Miles displayed sure aim with
a w'ater pistol as she put out a
row of lighted candles.
1 turned my attention from this
in time to see a witch, ghost, and
goblin emerge from the House of
Etorrors. The three little Wendts
.gazed wdde-e^wd at the catsup on
their hands.
For a while 1 wtitched artist
Eleinor Dodson sketch amusing
profiles in her caricature booth.
Judy Graham posed for her, then
donated the finished product to the
crowd gathered around.
Finally curiosity got the better
of me and I wandered into Madame
Belle’s booth to have my fortune
told. During the evening Madame
had won wide acclaim for her mys
tic powers. Maybe she could tell
me whether T would win one of
the door prizes from Montaldo’s,
Guild House, L. Robert’s, or The
Buena Vista Shop.
As I stepped out of her booth,
the lights dimmed and a spotlight
w’ent on the stage. Ann Miles
danced out in a very realistic skele
ton suit of pasteboard sections
fastened on so that they moved
and gave a weird illusion.
Then Peggy Daniel crooned to a
white draped figure, “I don’t stand
a ghost of a chance with you”. The
figure, then unveiled, was the
Spook of Salem, Carroll Jenkins,
elected by the penny votes of his
admirers.
Back in the dorm the spirit
hadn’t completely died when 1
heard shouts of, “Guess what we
made!” The carnival, was a suc
cess because the Salem spirit of
co-operation was behind it.
