Gingham Tavern Will Feature Floor Show,
‘^Cheek'tO'Cheek” Music, And Cake Walk
By Pat Ward I
Saturday, Nov. 19, the Home
Economics Department will pre
sent their Salem tradition — Ging
ham Tavern. The affair this year
will include lots of dancing to
“real gone” music, lots of laughs,
and lots and lots of “yummy” re
freshments.
The theme comes straight from
the Hit Parade—“Autumn Leaves”,
and it will be carried out by the
decorating committee, headed by
Carol Cooke and Jean Stone.
Betty Byrum and her committee,
who are in charge of getting the
band, hope you will agree with
their selection of “The Townsmen”,
who are really up on the current
hits. Their speciality is slow
“cheek-to-cheek” music, both old
and new.
The co-chairmen of the enter
tainment committee, Nancy Proc
tor and Vivian Williams, have been
scouting around for talented folk.
Some of the entertainment will in
clude Gail Landers playing the
piano; Denyse McLawhorn sing
ing; a Charleston rendition, and a
cake walk.
Incidentally, the cakes are being
made by Barbara Berry, Nellie
Anne Barrow, and Miss Peatre—
some real Home Ec. talent.
Other chairmen for the dance
are ; Carolyn S p a u g h and Sara
Pate, publicity; and Betty Saunders
and Pat Ward, refreshments.
The dance starts at 9:00 in the
Day Student Center and will last
until 12:00. Be sure to come early
and get a table—a red-checkered
one, at that. Remember, too, that
, dress is informal, and there is late
permission for girls who attend the
! dance, if they present their tickets
'when they sign in.

Miss Bryson Likes Teaching,
Thinks Salem Is “Fabulous
Charles Medlin
By Sue Kuss
As I sat on the gym steps wait
ing for my “victim”, I wondered
what I could ask her in my inter
view with her. My victim —Miss
Bryson; the interview —in her of-
As I waited, I watched the steps
leading up to the Academy. After
about five minutes I spied a small
figure at the top of the hill. I
watched this person descend the
steps, and as she came closer I
knew it was Miss Bryson. Her
hearty smile welcomed me as I
told her what I wanted. She led
me into her office and we began
to talk.
I began with the usual questions
—Where are you from? Where
did you go to college? etc. She
told me that she is from Franklin,
N. C., but that she doubted whether
anyone had ever heard of it.
Miss Bryson attended W. C. and
she loved it. When I asked her
what her favorite class was she
thought for awhile and said, “Mo
dern Dance.” Her activities at
college were Spanish Oub and
R. A.
I believe everyone knows that
Miss Bryson is our Physical Edu
cation teacher. When I asked her
why she decided to major in Phys.
Ed., she laughed and said, “Well,
I was a tomboy all my life and I
just love sports. My favorite sports
are dancing, basketball, and just
about every other one there is.
Actually I can’t ‘pin-point’ any
special one.”
If all of you are wondering just
what Miss Bryson’s job is. I’ll tell
you. She is assistant to Miss Col
lett, and she instructs all gym
classes at the Academy. She also
lives at the Academy.
In our informal talk she told me
that she loved Salem. Her first
impression was how small our
school was after W. C. She de
cided to teach here because it was
just what she was looking for and
she knew she would be working
with girls in a closer relationship.
I asked Miss Bryson what her
plans for the future are and she
looked at me and said, “I have no
definite plans, but I suppose some
of my classes would disagree with
me.”
As we talked I found out some
more personal tid-bits of informa-
tiouj such as — her current pet
peeve, which is to get down to the
gym only to discover that she has
forgotten her gym suit. (Oh! those
steps back up to the academy,)
Her favorite expression is “fabu
lous.”
Well, I have introduced you to
Miss Bryson. She is new here at
school, but her warm personality
makes her liked by all. One can
often see her trudging up those
steps on the other side of our
Athletic Field,
