New Faculty...
he was getting tired of being one
of a big crowd. He also came be
cause he believes that some of the
most effective teaching and learn
ing lakes place in small groups.
Mr. Oenton is impressed with the
family atmosphere at Salem. The
fact that all the girls know each
other and that the faculty and ad-
mini.Slralion are acquainted with
all the girls seems very good. Mr.
Denton also is impressed with the
way everyone stops to speak to
each other. He has found the girls
to have sincerity and interest in
their work. And he is very pleased
with the friendliness and helpful
ness of the faculty and with the
cooperation of everyone.
Mr. Denton is married. He met
his wife while they were both in
graduate school at the University
of North Carolina.
I left Main Hall and stopped by
Sisters' Hou.se. Here I ran into
Mr. Marian Schaeffer, the new re
ligion and philosophy professor.
Mr. Schaeffer is originally from
Tamaqsua. Pennsylvania. He is now
living with his family irt Lexington,
North Carolina.
Mr. Schaeffer is married and
has a son and two daughters.
Mr. Schaeffer attended Franklin
and Marshall College in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania. He then went to
the Theological Seminary of the
Kvangical Reform Church and to
the Temple University School of
Theology. He has also attended
Union Seminary in New York City.
Mr. Schaeffer came to Salem be
cause he wanted to teach, and to
work part-time. He is in the
parish ministry, therefore when
Salem needed a philosophy profes
sor part time, he was able to enter
the teaching field.
The dining room atmosphere im
pressed Mr, Schaeffer very much.
He feels that it is good for the
Administration to share lunch to
gether. He also feels that the girls
learn social graces and put them
into practice in the dining hall.
The Administration has impressed
him with their basic desire to de
velop Salem girls’ minds and hearts.
Finally, Mr. Schaeffer is impressed
by the girls and the uniqueness of
the campus. He feels that Salem
is conducive to fond associations.
After I left Sisters’ House, I
went by the gym. Here I saw Miss
June Gentry conducting a Modern
Dance class, so I stayed around to
watch.
Miss Gentry is from Knoxville,
Tennessee.
She attended the University of
Florida for her undergraduate
work. She did her graduate work
at the University of Tennessee.
She has also attended the Con
necticut College School of Dance.
When Miss Gentry came to
Salem for a job interview she fell
in love with the place. She w'as
so completely sold during her first
visit here that she w'anted to come
to Salem to teach. She also wanted
to come,.when she learned that a
dance floor was being added to the
gym.
Miss Gentry is very impressed
with the good looks and w'ell
groomed appearance of the Salem
girls. She likes all the faculty.
She is especially , impressed with
everyone being so helpful and
friendly.
On my way up from the gym,
I stopped by Babcock to recover
from the hill climb.
1 had a very nice visit with Mrs.
Chatham, the house counsilor of
Babcock. Mrs. Chatham is origin
ally from Washington, North Caro
lina, but has lived in Winston-
Salem for several years.
Mrs. Chatham’s coming to Salem
was a sudden decision. An alumpa
of Salem approached her about the
position, and then Mrs. Chatham
talked to Dr. Gramley. After she
received the word of approval from
her son she accepted the position.
Mrs. Chatham said that she loves
Salem. She thinks that all the
girls are very cute and charming.
She is very impressed by the
friendliness of everyone and feels
that we have a community within
our campus.

To Enter The Gates of Heaven
(Continued from page two)
cough syrup, except different.
Betty wondered if he was home.
She felt like running. Maybe next
Sunday ...
“What do you want ?’’
Betty jumped. Her heel slipped
off a stone and her ankle smarted.
A mean-eyed boy stood close and
a smaller girl shuffled up feathers
of dust near the fence. Two more
scrambled out from the broken lat
ticework under the house and she
felt the eyes of the rest in a circle
around her. Sylvie hopped across
and climbed the gate. Two of
them snickered.
“Look at them hairbows. Ain’t
they fancy?”
“Yeah, just like Mama’s little
baby.”
“Look, poor little thing cut its
toe. Got it all wrapped up!”.
They all laughed. One boy rolled
on the ground. His nose was runny,
Betty’s ears felt hot.
“I am not!”
“She says she am not — not
what ?”
“She am not. She am not. Not
what? Not what? Not what?”
They all chanted and jumped up
and down.
Sylvie laughed out in Betty’s
face. “Where you goin’ ? What
you doing here?”
“Yeah. We ain’t got no time for
you.”
Betty swung around. “I came to
get y’all to come to Sunday School
—’cause Mrs. Peterson says if
you’re gonna enter the gates of
heaven, you got . . .”
Screams of laughter came from
the circle. “Well, ain’t she good!
Did you never hear nothing hka
it?”
Betty wished her mother were
there. “But we have fun at the
church . . . we listen to the script.
“Shoot, we got new kittens up
under the house.” Sylvie was
proud. “Flossie just had ’em last
night.”
“You can’t see ’em though.” The
runny-nosed boy pulled Betty a
sash loose and ran in zigzags across
the yard. “Can’t see ’em. Can’t
see ’em. Can’t see ’em . at all. At
all! At all!” He slid under the
porch.
“What . . • what do they look
like ?”
“Don’t she wished she knew.”
The big boy grinned.
“I might let you see them for
one of them yellow silk hair bows.
Sylvie’s eyes looked black.
“ ‘Course, you might dirty up your
go-to-meeting dress.”
A snake doctor glinted in the
sunlight and bobbed in the heat
above their heads. Somebody shuf
fled in a dust puddle. A small girl
sniffed and ran her wrist under her
nose. The gate screamed as Syl
vie swung on it. Betty’s shoulder
itched. Her bow was untied and
hung down on her back. It came
off easily and she held it out.
