Softball Tourney Finishes

Live New York, Bermuda's Festivities
Highlights Gay Holiday For Salemites
By Noel Vossler and
Nancy Willis
Wednesday, March 28 Not know
ing quite what was in store for
us, we thirteen Bermuda-bound
Salemites, with Mrs. Mary Louise
Lowe and Mrs. Pepper, boarded
the plane for New York. We had
a brief wait in Washington in
which Noel and Audrey succeeded
in panicking Mrs. Lowe by delay
ing the plane.
-After having arrived in New
York, we split into small groups
to cover the night life in various
sports—Birdland, Benny Goodman
at the Waldorf, the Village Room.
Nobody worried about how much
sleep we were missing.
Thursday, March 29 We arose
too early and boarded the PAA for
sunny Bermuda. We were all fas
cinated by the cocktail lounge on
the plane, especially Jean Stone.
An additional interest, instigated by
Mrs. Lowe, was our introduction to
a group of Holy Cross boys, who
reappeared consistantly throughout
the trip, thanks to Mary Jane.
We landed early in the after
noon and drove to the Princess
Hotel. It took quite a while to
get used to the British custom of
driving on the left-hand side of the
road. There was constant ooing
and ahhing of the scenic country
side—quaint villas with white coral
roofs, the friendly natives with
their gay apparel, the dazzling blue
of the water contrasting with the
pink of the sand and coral jetties,
and bicycles—bicycles everywhere.
After getting settled at the hotel,
we cycled and then attended a tea
dance on the patio with music by
the Talbot brothers. That night
our dates took us to hear the
Whiffenpoofs, and Calypso music.
Strictly Ivy League stuff.
The more adventurous of us got
our box lunches and set out for
Elbow Beach where we spent the
day.
Saturday, March 31 We observed
our first Rugby match — Yale vs.
Dartmouth. After cocktail hour
and dinner we requested “Dixie”
in order to discover if any South
erners were around. If this brought
no results, our second tactic was

nament was completed on March 27
with very close results. The jun
iors, last year’s champions, and the
freshmen tied for first place, each
losing one game.
The senior class and the sopho
more class then tied for second

The opening game of the tour
nament was played on March 20
between the juniors and the fresh
men. In a hard-fought game the
freshmen came out on top by the
score 10-8. For the freshmen, Mc
Clure, Clemmer, and Badgett ob
tained two runs apiece. Baker and
.Allen both obtained two runs for
the juniors.
The only other close score of thc-
toiirnament was the sophomoies'
surprising 7-6 victory over the
freshmen. Morrissett did a goxl
job of pitching for the winners.
The hard-hitting juniors shut out
the seniors by 16-0 with Ann Miles
pitching, and then obtained l.ueir
tie for first place by defeatin;,; the
sophomores 27-7.
In the other games the seniors
won over the sophomores 16-4. thus
giving them the tie for second
place. The freshmen trampled the
seniors 25-9 with Hardage, Mac-
Oueen, and McClure each scoring
four runs.
to apply Nancy’s Southern drawl
this never failed, y’all.
As everywhere else, Saturday
night is a big night in Bermuda.
It proved disastrous to Jane though,
who, along with her two freshman
friends, got lost from her date.
For the first time Bermuda
seemed a strange and tremendous
island.
Sunday, April 1 We went to the
Church of England for Easter ser
vices. By afternoon Martha and
Peggy had seen every sight on the
island, while others watched Tra-
bert and Gonzales at tennis mat-
4:00 a.m.

ches.
We wined and dined at the Coral
Island Club, Harmony Hall, and
the Serf Club.
Monday, April 2 Today ina'ked
College Day at the Beach with
various festivities in our honor. A
queen was crowned and June was
pinned while swizzling in the .Swiz
zle Inn. By this time dressing for
dinner had exhausted our ward
robes, but Joyce upheld ou- ]RS
traditions.
That night at the St. tieorge
Hotel she entertained the guests
and her date by giving Julie Lon
don some close competition.
Thursday, April 13 Our iasi day
—last minute shopping and sith-
bathing, we regretfully said our
goodbyes. After inspections by
customs officials and other delays,
eve were finally ready for bed at
We lunched at various places and
met that afternoon to see "No
Time for Sergeants” starring our
own Andy Griffith. Because o! bad
weather conditions Judy had lo be
left behind and Pat stayed with
her.
Mr. Campbell and our p.irentf
welcomed us at the airport. Even
though we were an exhausted group
we were sorry the trip was over.
YOU’LL BOTH GO FOR THIS CIGARETTE!
