Salem Faculty Make Plans
For The Summer Vacation
By Marcia Stanley and
Carol Campbell
My teachers have w'arnecl me not
to waste time, always to be learn
ing. But 1 thought tliis was just
some philosophical ideal that even
they didn’t carry out. I found ouf
quite* differently when I interviewed
the faculty about their summer
plans.
Miss Reigner is going to spend
part of her summer with her
mother in Philadelphia. After a
ten years’ absence she says, “’I
don’t even know if I have any
friends left.” She will also be
touring the area observing summer
stock.
“I’m frying to develop my intel
lect,” she said with a smile. “I
thought I’d just let the summer
haiipen.”
Dr. Austin will go to Berkley,
California, her home. But she is
not going to let her summer go to
waste. Using the library of, the
University of California, she plans
to write articles about the real
meaning of Uatin words such as
“necessarius” and “familiarias.
Later, she will embark on a ten
week visit to Oahu in the Hawiian
Islands. She said she will be ready
for school to close, but “I wall be
just as ready for school to reopen
next fall.” 1 don’t believe I would
be too an.xious to get back if I
were going to the Haw'aiian Islands.
Miss Byrd will be taking her
annual trip to Europe this summer,
chaperoning a group of girls.
Nancy Proctor, one of the girls on
her tour last year, explained that
Miss Byrd’s job consists mainly of
“hurrying us on and off trains or
lx>ats in the daytime and seeing
that we had a good time at night.”
In Geneva, she even introduced the
.girls to a handsome millionaire.
Besides making sure her children
had.a wonderful time. Miss Byrd
si)ent her time reading, going to
the libraries, museums, operas and
theaters'. Nancy said that “Mom
Jess was a perfect guide, casual
but painlessly educational.”
After several summers, spent
working furiously on his Ph. D.,
Ur. White has decided to spend
this - summer relaxing and working
in his garden. He will also get
some reading done, but “only in
my hammock.” His vacation will
be broken only by a tw'O weeks’
stint of Naval Reserve duty in
Charleston.
Or. Africa was not satisfied to
read through the seven volume
History of the Southern Province,
the story of the Moravian settle
ment, last summer. This summer,
as a follow up. Dr. Africa has re
ceived a grant from the Southern
Fellow'ship Foundation to dos, re
search on the Moravian position
toward slavery.
This will be only a beginning of
extensive research that may last
many years if the necessary records
can be found. Perhaps someday we
will be able to read a book written
by Dr. Philip Africa.
The latter part of the summer he
and his family will stay in a cot
tage in the Vermont woods. He
likes to swim, chop trees, and go
to auctions. “Are you glad school
i is finally ending” I asked.
“One of the advantages of teach
ing,” he said, lighting his pipe for
the fifth time, “is that each fall
one is able to start a new year
over. We’ll look much better when
fall comes,” he said with his char
acteristic little boy grin.
Dr. Spencer is taking a job in
Winston-Salem, but it is not an
ordinary job. He will be Deputy
Clerk of Municipal Court. This in
volves keeping a record of the
judge’s decisions, collecting fines,
and issuing all warrants for ar
rests. “I’ll ' issue warrants for
everything from going through a
stop sign to murder,” he said.
He will also travel to eastern
North Carolina and Washington,
D. C. to do research.
Dr. Hixson is staying at Salem
this year—quite a contrast to last
summer spent touring Europe. She
said, “I promised myself that if I
did nothing else this summer, I d
clean out the files in my office.
Now, do you feel -as guilty as I
do about the way I’m wasting my
summer vacation ? It really in
spires me, though, that we have an
intellectually lively faculty that
must be truly dedicated to their
professions. Maybe I can at least
read one book.
Children Know Everything
By Ann Darden Webb
“But suppose no children come.” , , •
“We’ll just have to get dressed and come back again another after-
I no. please, let at least one little boy come ”
At 3-30 two five-year-olds, with feet dangling inches above the floor
sat on the front row facing our flannel board stage. Holding up the
stories until 3:40 resulted i" the group s expansion to 20 httle boys and
I Hs 4 5 and 6 years old. (Children left by mothers doing their mid-
Mternoon shopping in down-town Winston-Salem).
“Bulls are very fierce animals who paw the ground, aren’t they?”
lane Wrike’s question introducing Ferdinand 1 he Bull was answered in
the negative by a bright-eyed little six-year-oId who said that she had
two bulls at home who were nice and f^en^y. _
Mary Thompson’s The Bremen Town Musicians excited one little
Chao until he wanted to talk about all of the animals that he had at
home. Her comment on finishing: III just bet that if I had told a
story about an atom bomb, he would have said that^ ne/had one at home,”
My story Ask Mr. Bear, was interrupted by loday is my daddy’s
birthday which later made the closing “Since today is your daddy’s
birthday, you can go home and give him a great big hug like Danny in
the story gave to his mother on her birthday, very appropriate.
