Poets tell us that lovely flowers
are a sign of Spring. We tell
harrassed fathers that the enor
mous bookstore bill received last
week is simply the sign of a new
semester. And with each new
semester the books become pro
gressively larger—obvious proof is
Senior Nancy Warren lugging her
two pound Shakespeare book to
class. But one reminder, girls,
wisdom is not judged by the size
of the book.
Bookstore bills could hardly dam
pen the spirits of seniors Barbara
Durham and Kate Cobb. Beside
their gleaming new fraternity pins,
nothing else was important. Bar
bara’s pin-ee is Claude Plumblee,
Sigma Chi at Carolina and Kate
Cobb’s is KA Pinkney Fronenber-
ger, now of Wake Forest Law
School. Of course, the sophomore.s.
were not to be outdone and
promptly produced a pin in their
group. It seems that Johnny Good
man, N. C. State student, approved
of our choice in May Court at
tendants and presented Susan Mc
Intyre with his Pika pin last Sat
urday.
♦ * *
Our newest choice in Maj' Court
attendants is Jane Bridges, photo
genic photographer for the Sights
and Insights. But did you notice
that no one seemed to know whet
her to sing congratulations to Jane
or to “Potts.”
Progress is also being made in
other phases of the May Day pre
parations. Whether the turnout at
Wednesday’s tryouts was a result
of “school spirit”, Martha Jarvis’
effective appeal in Chapel or simply
a desire to become as charming as
the “six raindrops seated on the
stage” in Chapel Tuesday will never
be determined. Regardless, the
eighty Salemites who vyed for
parts as farmers, fairies, trolls and
raindrops provided an evening’s
entertainment for spectators.
* ♦ ♦
The participation in basketball
practice has been almost as good
as in the May Day tryouts. Lib
-ong and Henrietta Jennings have
been standouts in the freshman
offense—perhaps a threat to the
undefeated Seniors.
Equally undefeated and perhaps
undefeatable is the Wake Forest
basketball team. Salemites who
watched their games last week with
Virginia, Duke and Clemson are
already looking forward to the
match with Carolina in the Coli
seum on the 26th. And maybe
other matches can be made in light
of recent trips to Salem on the
part of the second string players.

Since Christmas the bachelor’s
club has become badly diminished.
Mr. Sandresky was the first to go,
and it appears that Mr. Heidemann
will follow in his footsteps. Look
at the rock he’s given Patsv Hop
kins.
' Rut take hope, you unpinned
seniors. 1 he club still meets regu
larly, with Mr. Stevens, Mr. Muel
ler. Mr. Farley, Mr. Cosby, Mr.
Mr. Campbell, as active members.
Paine, Mr. Medlin, and of course
While membership in the bache
lor s club is steadily diminishing,
another faculty organization on
campus is flourishing. It is the
newly formed Society of Cripples.
The prerequisite for entry is a fall,
a sli]), or a flop; and the well dres
sed member completes her attire
with a cast, a splint, a pair of
crutches, or at least a walking
stick.
Progress Report: Dr. Welch is
about to resign, having put away
her cane. Miss Byrd and Mrs.
Patterson have removed their casts,
but not too soon to keep Miss
Byrd from becoming quite pro
ficient at lighting her cigarette
with her toes. Some of the mem
bers have asked us to announce
that membership is open to the
local male animal also.
Harry Truman, who had seven
stitches on his head after a slip on
the ice, is applying for membership.
Speaking of men, w'e haven’t
seen much of the Gramley boys
lately. However, Diggs and Stevie
were in the dining room Sunday
sitting with the family. For you
Salemites who don’t happen to
know, Diggs is a sophomore at
Davidson; and Stevie, a freshman
at Reynolds Fligh.

Many Salemites caught the bus
to Zino Francescatti’s violin con
cert Fridaj' night, in hopes of ob
taining some culture. Mary Mar
garet Dzevaltauskas, wishing to be
comfortable as long as possible,
decided to wear flats and carry
her heels, at least as far as the
auditorium . . . Dean Sandresky
and his new bride missed nothing
from their seats on the front row.
Hans Hiedemann and his fiancee,
Patsy Hopkins, created a buzz.
Perhaps Suzanne Gordon had the
biggest thrill of all. She turned
pages for Mr. Francescatti’s accom
panist while her date observed her
from the very back row of the
balcony. Even from that distance,
her pink dress was quite becoming.

Ogden Nash made Cjuite a hit
with Salemites. As one of the girls
commented:
Ogden Nash came with a lec
ture to Salem
And was given real money for
triteness.
I wish he’d explain to my dear
English prof.
That my triteness is not such
bad stof.

Controversy on campus—“If mab.
daddy knew thass, he’d tun ovah in
his grave.” This line was dug up
trom that cinemascopic, stereo
phonic, black and white flick.
Baby Doll ’. It was Tennessee
Williams, and this time Williams
was all Mississippi.
Salem made mass migration from
these ivy-covered walls of learning
to the shoddy halls of broken-down
aristocracy. Salemites have made
many comments on this movie,
varying from the appreciation of
Williams’ subtlety to vivid de
scriptions of the raimchy scenes.
These comments are given to
readers of the Salemite in another
column, so these authors leave you
with the immortal words of Archie
Lee, You 11 get your birthday
present!” ‘
Another black and white thriller,
“The Wrong Man”, was a blown-up
version of “Dragnet”, with a few
love scenes thrown in. Sure did
get tired of seeing the inside of
police stations, jails, bars, etc.; but
Henry Fonda’s eyes just snowed
us. The whole movie rather con
tributed to the prevalence of claus
trophobia on campus these days.
State basketball co-captains John
Maglio and Cliff Hafer were almost
barred from playing in the Clemson
game on Feb. 2nd. Reason: Maglio
owed $132 and Hafer $102 in cam
pus parking fines. And we think
we have parking troubles at Salem.
A Coliseum attraction just pre
ceding the Wake Forst-Carolina
game will be none other than
Louis Armstrong — jazz artist re
cently returned from a globe cir
cling tour. That is one no one
wants to miss.
