December 6, 195] Christmas Putz Opens Old Salem Holiday Season Are you going to the Putz in Brother’s House and the Candle light Tea? This year the Putz and Tea, sponsored by the Home Mo ravian Church, will be open on December 5, 6, and” 7 from 2:00- 9:00. The Candle Tea, or Putz, as it is sometimes called, has become a tradition in the city since it was brought over by the German Mo ravians. The name Putz originates from the German word “Putzen” and means to decorate. The Tea is held in the basement of Brother’s Plouse in a stone walled room with a cobblestone floor. Handmade wooden benches line the walls; at one end of the room is a large wooden vat. In this candle-lit room, visitors arc served Moravian coffee and sugar bread. In the next room, women are busy making candles just as their ancestors did. Some are melting the wax, while others are pouring it into forms and removing the finished candle. Going from this room and down massive stone steps, you shiver as the damp coldness of the basement numbs your feet and travels up your legs under your skirt and tightly drawn coat. After peeking around a few stone pillars, you finally see the large table almost filling an adjoining room. The table is covered with what appears to be real snow. The scene depicts old Salem just as records say it was, and at the top left of the scene is the Home Moravian Church in which the Choir is sing ing Christmas Carols. (The clock actually gongs, too.) On the upper right is a hill with a tiny stream flowing down it and a millwheel turning the water over it. People are walking or riding in small coaches, but, for the most part, everyone seems to be indoors and many lights flicker throughout Old Salem Square. Behind one house a woman is taking clothes down from the clothesline and tiny foot prints mark her path from the house. To the left of this scene is the Putz. Hanging above the stone table on which this is placed is a tiny, lighted Moravian star. This is a minature nativity scene con taining all the people and animals associated with the Biblical story. The ground is covered with green grass and on the hillside there are sheep grazing. Tiny rocks dot the hill; on one of them sits a shep herd who is tending the sheep. Three men, on camel’s backs, are coming over the hill and headed toward a stable on the left of the scene. In the stable is a manger holding a tiny child, whose Mother and Father stand around him. A soft light shines into the manger and you see the child’s arms out stretched. Work on these two scenes is begun months before they are shown to the public. Both are symbols of Christmas at Salem. Wake Defeats Salem 29-26 ^ Visiting Wake Forest defeated Salem’s volleyball team in a close decision on Monday afternoon, Novenrber 25. The teams fought out the game to a 29-26 final' score. Several new rules were brought to the attention of the players. Set-ups are no longer legal; the ball could be hit only once by each player. . Another new rule is the decrease in the number of players from nine to six. However, the game was played according to the former rules. In the Junior-Senior volleyball game on Wednesday, December 4. the Juniors won by a score of 70 ;o 10. The game took place in die Gymnasium. A treat is in store for Monday, December 16: the faculty-student -^ame is to be played at 7 ;30 p.m. The pick of the two groups will battle for recognition as the cham pions of campus volleyball. Any faculty member wishing to play slio'uld contact Mr. Wendt.

Queen And Maid Elected Will Reign Over May Day feature (Continued from Page One) Late at night after she returns from the music building where she spends endless hours practicing. Nancy can be found in bull sessions with the girls in the dorm talking about philosophy or world affairs. An avid reader of the “New York Times,” Nancy can tell you about the latest broadway shows or what happened in Tim Buck Two last week. Nancy is different from the May Queens of the past three years. She is not planning a summer wedding. Queen Nancy is what everyone dreams of being—a combination of brains, talent and beauty. Honor* attendant Nollner Mor- rissett is also a tall dark beauty. She is exotic in appearance. She has attended in the Dell only once before. However, she was K. A. Rose at Hampton-Sidney in 1956. Nollner is pinned to a K. A. graduate from Hampton Sidney and she will be maintaining the tradi tion of a summer wedding for the Queen or Honor attendant. It is very easy to distinguish Nollner from a group not only in view of her good looks, but by her slow Virginia drawl. Nollner stays busy teaching her little grammar school children and selling ads for the Sights and In sights. In addition to being Maid of Honor for the May Day pageam Nollner is treasurer of May Day Committee, therefore she will see that we have enough money to have a spectacular pageant. For a sneak preview of the way she will appear in the Dell, Nolhei will appear in the figure at the I. R. S. Christmas dance. —Mary Ann Hagwood May Day Results NEWS (Continued from Pafife One) Order of the Scorpion, IRS, AA council, F. T. A., and is business manager of the Sights and Insights. She has been included in Who’s Who in American Colleges. These girls were chosen in a stu dent body election on Monday night. They were elected from the ten girls who were nominated for May Queen. A new method was used in the elections Monday. Each girl wore identical white dresses. And each ballot was marked according to the voter’s choice for May Que^n and Maid of Honor. The May Day Committee will conduct the election of the May Court Tuesday night December 10 in Old Chapel at 7 o’clock.
