THE SALEMITE
February 7.
Mr. Yarborough Stages
One Man Pantie Raid
a
Every now and then my thoughts
turn sympathetically to Mr. Yar
borough and his more than tnan
size jot) of catering to over five
hundred women. His duties entail
tittending to any sort of repair
work or maintenance jobs that may
he needed, either at the academy
or college.
1 ntade a rather general ohser-
vtition of Mr. Ytirhorough’s duties
in coni|)arison to those odd jobs
around the house which seem to ap
pear for all our poor, tired fathers
at home. The five women in our
household manage to occupy every
spare moment of “Uaddy’s” time
with “fix this,” “loosen that,”
“tighten this,” “make this stay to
gether.” Bttt, Mr. Yarborough lias
precisely one-hundred times the
work to perform than “weary
(kiddy.” No wonder we spot him
running about c a m ]) u s with a
“where shall I go from here”—
“Mother never told me there would
he days like this” expression.
Mr. Yarborough has served
Salemites for four long years. .Y
native of Forsyth County, living
just outside of Winston-Salem in
Old Town, he is the proud father
of a sevcnteen-year-old-hoy, Don
Yarborough, who is a student at
Northwest High School.
Eight o’clock in the morning
finds Mr. Yarborough going “full
speed” to accomplish all he must
do before the Moravian Church
clock chimes five bells.
However, this job is not such
drudgery or as dull as it may
sound. The maintenance crew has
the dubious, honor of being the
only men (except for the occasional
visits from fathers) to be allowed
in our sacred “boudoirs.” The only
drtiwback to this freedom is the very
evident f;ict that maititenance men
tire renowned for their intibility to
bellow “man on the hall” loud
enough.

vivid expression) their “shirt tails”
hanging out. No fatalities have
been reported to date, but I would
suggest to the student body that
we present a “cow bell” to every
man on the maintenance crew so
that we’ll know their where abouts
and conseciuently can present a
more lady-like “front” when un
expected visits are paid.
Have you ever visited Mr. Yar
borough’s workshop? It’s an adu-
cafion in itselb I found myself
peering through the little chicken
wire petition into a room cluttered
with tools I knew nothing about.
There were wrenches, screw dri
vers, an assortment of nails to fill
any need, hammers, saws, and m-
mimerable contraptions which I
could never begin to describe, ex
plain the use of, or name. Isn’t
it silly — men need all sorts of
elaborate equipment to perform the
same jobs a woman can do with
the heel of her shoe, a nail file,
and a swift kick.
If ever concerned, I’m certain
you could drag out all sorts of
fascinating tales from Mr. Yar
borough. For instance: the day
he was in a student’s room repair
ing the heater. He bent over to
tighten this and that, and placed
his screw driver in his back pocket
and preceded to leave the room.
.As he was walking down the hall,
he felt a light thump on the back
of his thigh. He looked around
and discovered a pair of white
lacey panties were hanging from
the end of the screw driver that
was in his rear pocket. He had
backed into a clothes rack while
repairing the heater and the pants
had become attached to the screw
driver. Oh ! ... a one man “pantie”
raid” !
In closing let me make this plea
—Ladies, go easy on Mr. Yar
borough and be extra good to him.
I don’t know of another man in
the world who’d have the patience
or fortitude to take his place. I
can curtsy to the “ace of all trades”
—Salem’s Mr. Yarborough!

teaching last fall at Reynolds
High School where she taught
public speaking and ninth grade
English. Her main work in speech
was a unit on the United Nations
which was culminated with stu
dents’ speeches on “The UN in
Search for World Peace.” The
work in English was concentrated
on grammar, a subject which, to
most students, is dry and boring.
However, the Education 220 class
knows from the samples of stu
dents’ art work illustrating points in
grammar which Dr. Welch showed
us, that Martha succeeded in snak
ing an otherwise dull subject be
come alive and interesting. Mar
tha reveals that her favorite as
signment in English is, “Through
your imagination, render intelli
gible the concepts of ‘compound
sentence, simple sentence, complex
sentence, sentence fragment, and
run-on sentence.”

The music in this production is
“The Glass Menagerie”. This one
tune is used to give emotional emp

hearing this tune one thinks of
delicate glass, how beautiful it is
and how easily it is broken. This
is primarily Laura’s music reflect

Also contributing to teaching
her experience is the substitute
work at the Academy which Mar
tha did for Judy Graham Davis.
A small, but soon remedied catas
trophe befell jMartha on hei first
day at the Academy. Judy’s fresh
man English class was studying
Midsummer Night’s Dream, and,
quipped Martha, “I hadn’t read it!
So . . . they had a study period
while I did a quick reading!”
Martha is an English major and
a history and education minor. Her
hobbies are sewing, reading, and
swimming. She loves to travel,
and parts ,of Europe and Scandi
navia can be included in her list
of places visited. But standing in
top position on her list of return
visits is Norway, a natural feeling
for anyone who has ever set foot
on Norwegian territory!
Her weekend plans always in
