with Bastor Dethiur and Bruno
Eisner.
Before joining the Salem staff,
Mr. Stevens taught piano and did

who don’t know him, Monday
night’s performer is the meticulously
dressed horn-rimmed individual
seen scurrying up to his studio to
be on time for a piano lesson.
You can also spot him wearing a
neat bow tie in the dining room or
lighting a cigarette in his new
classroom on third floor Main Hall.
Mr. Stevens’ program on October
15 will include, in addition to Beet
hoven,
Toccata in F sharp minor .Bach

All cartoons appearing in this
issue of the Salemite, with the ex
ception of the “Rat Week” cartoon
on page 2, have appeared in the
paper in past years. The editorial
page cartoon was drawn by Anis
Ira, fast becoming the Salemite’s
most regular contributor and, in
our opinion, “cartooniste extra-
ordanaire.”

here at Salem, the Presbyterian

begun. Those elected thus far are :

Jane Bailej', first vice-president;
and Nancy Walker, second vice-

pleted at the next meeting.
Bringing together Presbyterian
students from both Salem and

planning a dinner for the latter
part of October. The tentative
date has been set for Tuesday
night, October 30.

Sophomore cleverness was at its
height when rats were tried before
the Rat Court Wednesday night.
After a long session of verdicts and
punishments, we were marched
down to the May Dell and around
the gym to Strong w'here we stiffly
awaited the final outcome. Sud
denlylights flashed, people' yelled,
and Rat Week was declared offi
cially over. Nyra Boyd was voted
Rat of the year, sophomores be
came friends again. Rats joined the
ranks with humans, and everyone
rushed to eat up all the refresh
ments . . . and to meet the visiting
Wake Forest guests I
So another Rat Week was ended
and many of us will never forget
. . . the lovely voice of Rosemary
Laney, the dead-pan face of Fran
ces Gunn, tooth-brush-cleaned side
walks on front campus, and 'Puddin
