Incident Of Inexperience
I was a junior in high school
w'hen I was first asked to a frater
nity party. Of course I was ex
erted about the party, but as the
big date drew closer, I began to
worry about how I would act. I
was sure everyone would know that
it was my first fraternity party. I
had thoughts of all the beautiful
girls at the party laughing at my
inexperienced ways.
My mind was made up. I was
going to be sophisticated.
I had two weeks before the party
to change my personality. The
first week I spent a month’s allow
ance on beauty creams and face
powder. I had my long hair cut
in the then popular poodle cut. I
experimented with such forbidden
things as eye shadow and plunging
necklines.
I spent the last half of the first
week trying to convince my father
that the black velvet sheath dress
I wanted was just perfect for the
party. I persuaded my older sister
to lend me her spike heels and
rhinestone drop earrings.
The w'eek before the dance was
a mixture of personality fmprove-
ments and self-administered beauty
treatments. I gave myself a facial
at least once every day, and if 'f
w-ere not plucking my eyebrows I
would be fixing my nails.
I practiced talking lower, because
I felt that that would make me
sexier. I made up witty conver
sations to use when I talked with
George. My self-centered day
dreams were beautiful.
I pictured myself laughing ancj
gay, the most sought-after girl at
the party.
As I dressed for the party, I
thought of how George would be
pleased. My face was a carbon
copy of a Vogue model, even the
mole.
I he padded bra I had on made
me competition for Marilyn Mon
roe. The doorbell rang as I gave
myself one last look in the mirror
deciding that I was at the height
of my beauty.
I ran downstairs quickly so that
I would not have to pass my
father’s disapproving eyes.
I opened the door and waited
for George’s stamp of approval.
It never came.

Miss Palmer
Follows Suit
Salem s third casted faculty
member is Miss Moselle Palmer,
head of the Physical Education de
partment.
Miss Palmer received her in
juries while refereeing at the after
noon basketball practice on Tues
day.
X-rays at Baptist Hospital
showed a chipped elbow and
wrenched knee.
A-tiss Palmer spent one night in
the Salem infirmary and is now
back in her office at the gym.
I’ve been hopping around watch
ing all the plans and preparations
being made for second semester.
I’ve been noting the resolutions,
being made and their entry in the
memorandum books.
They read, “pay more attention
in class ... do each assignment
every day . . . see French movie
. . . attend lecture.’’
I didn’t see any of the resolutions
I was hoping to see so I thumbed
through the pages and added these,
“be on time for meals ... sit up
straight . . . don’t take food from
the dining room . . . make up bed
don’t wear bermudas to
Harry’s”.
I couldn’t get around to all the
memorandum books to add these
manners reminders, so be sure to
check yours. I know you will want
to include these in your resolutions
for second semester.

As the Religion 103 B exam pro
gressed on Thursday afternoon
hammer blows reverberated from
across the hall, where Mr. Yar
borough and his crew were face
lifting Dr. Sawyer’s old classroom.
It’s new inhabitants had arrived
and w'ere ready to move in
Then on the next Wednesday the
ousted Religion class ascended to
Main Hall’s shrunken third floor
to their new classroom.
“We won’t need textbooks this
semester,” quipped Dr. Sawyer
with a smile. “Instead, bring paint
and brushes to class and w^e
tackle this old woodwork.” But
later on, when he had recuperated
from the strain of extensive stair
climbing, Dr. Sawyer said, “There’s
no one I’d rather yield half of my
old classroom to than Alice Mc
Neely!”
Miss McNeely has returned to
Salem to begin work in her new
position as assistant in admissions.
I’m sandwiched between the Pub
lic Relations Office and the Aca
demic Office,” she said. This looks
true figuratively and literally, to
one who has seen the new office.

Beauty Facts
By Frank Kinney
Often a woman finds it hard to
make a man she wants to know
better ask her for a date. It is
well nigh impossible to become
personal with a man
>when you are never
alone in the proper
romantic setting.
So a woman must
plan her strategy carefully for once
the ice is broken — once he has
dated her, from there on the whole
matter is in her hands. The most
difficult step is that first date.
No better way has yet been
found to beat down a man’s natural
reserve than to wear an inviting
hairstyle that shows the desir
ability of your features and then
to flatter him with your words and
your manner.
A weak man has little defense
against the beauty of a \ypman who
wears a faultless hairdesign cut,
fashioned and exquisitely waved at

If a centaur married
a mermaid fair,
What kind of children
would she bear?
Would they have hide
or would they have scales?
Would they have hooves
or long fishy tails?
Would they eat seaweed
or would they eat hay?
It’s one of the
