SALE MITE
Senior Features Include
Study, Teaching, Marriage
No longer are the seniors con
cerned with planning a three
months vacation; no longer are they
concerned with pre-registration ^ at
Salem; no longer are they drawing
for rooms or electing officers for
the following year—no, these are
all a part of the past, and Salem s
seniors are concerned not only with
a summer job, hut now are choos
ing the occupations for which they
have prepared themselves in their
four years at Salem.
Xhere are those who are in
terested in furthering their educa
tion by doing graduate study. Meri-
beth Bunch plans to obtain her
Masters Degree in sacred music at
Union Theological Seminary in New
York. Susan Foard will be a gradu
ate student in history at William
and Mary, and Marcia Black, Har
riet Herring and Joan Brooks also
plan to do graduate study.
Of course, there are those sen
iors who plan now to teach rather
than to be taught. Among our new
teachers will be Grace Walker,
Anita Kendrick, and Mary Scott
Best. Also Evelyn Vincent, who
plans to teach at St. Catherine’s,
Louise Adams who will teach piano
and music appreciation in the Jack
sonville, Fla., schools, Rosemary
I.aney who will teach public school
music in Winston-Salem, and Susan
Deare who will teach the second
grade in Greensboro. Several of
our seniors will combine teaching
and marriage. Among these are
Betsy Guerrant, May Terry, and
Ann Beck. Mary Stuart Mop will
do educational work at Virginia
Beach, and Ann Joyner has a posi
tion as athletic director at St.
Catherine’s.
Outside of the field of education,
Salem is also making many contri
butions this year. Henrietta Jen
nings will be a textile chemistry
research worker at the National
Bureau of Standards in Washing
ton, D. C., and Skippy Stone will
work in either Richmond or New
York. Bobbie Morrison plans to
work in Atlanta in the Psychatric
clinic at Emory Hospital, Ann Lut-
trell may work as a research assis-'
tant at Emory, Harriet Davis will
work as a chemist in Charlotte plus
being a housewife, Helen London
will be a puppeteer for the State
Board of Oral Hygiene, and Betty
Ann Wilkins also plans to work.
Lib Long will work as a case
worker for the Department of Pub
lic Welfare in Yanceyville, N. C.,
and Sally Townsend will combine
social work with homemaking.
Dora Bryan has plans only of
marriage and homemaking and
Carol Doxey says that she plans
on doing as little as she possibly
can. Good luck and good-bye.
Senior Nan Williams shows Carolyn McLeod how to wear that cap.

—a Quiet confidence in one s self,
a sense of stability, and faith in
one’s capacity for achievement by
individual effort. Such Quiet con
fidence in one’s self is not an in
evitable by-product of this kind of
education. But the experience in
independent study can help one to
learn to handle meaningfully the
inevitable inner solitude life brings.
Finally, your acceptance of the
fchallenge of education as indepen
dent study has direct relevance to
the problems confronting American
society today. We are hearing
much now of the alleged lag in
American scientific development. In
comparison with Russian education,
the whole field of American edu
cation, methods and objectives, has
come under sharp critical survey.
Some observers question whether or
not a democratic nation can keep
up with the pace set by an authori
tarian society which can channel
young people into the kind of edu
cation which the state considers
most desirable.
Partly it is a matter of student

attitude. Recently a Russian dele
gation of political leaders arrived in
New York City. On a Saturday
morning they embarked on a tour
of New York University. They ex
pressed a desire to talk with an
American student. The university
officials combed the campus, the
library, the recreation building, but
with no success. Finally, after two
hours of searching, university of
ficials finally located — three stu
dents. In contrast, there is the
story given in the Reporter maga
zine of a y.oung Russian student
couple, Boris and Oksana Smirnov.
Though this newly-wed couple
could have shared a suite in the
dormitory lodges, they chose to live
apart. Boris decided to room in
stead with Karel, a fellow phy
sicist. As Boris explained the ar
rangement :
It is more convenient this way.
Oksana and I don’t distract each
other this way. She and I are
in different classes. Karel and
I study together.
Well, frankly, if the price of scien
tific development comes this high,
we might as well admit that
America is exceedingly unlikely to
equal, much less surpass, Russian
scientific prograss.
The situation may require some
what less drastic remedial action,
however. The basic issue, it seems,
is whether or not the American
student is willing to apply, volun
tarily, the mental discipline which
the Russian state can impose on
its students. What students do at
a small woman’s college in the
southern part of the United States
will probably have no direct effect
on the outcome of the international
conflict. Indirectly, however, the

Salemites, is your wardrobe com
plete? After all, these days one
must have plenty of madras in her
closet to qualify for the well-
dressed college girl. And your
decisions you make do have rele
vance and bearing. The key ques
tion is whether or not there will
be in free socities the voluntary
acceptance of the responsibility in
herent in ability.
Bernard Canter, writing for The
Friend, a London publication, stated
the case for the acceptance of in
dividual responsibility in an age of
crisis thus:
This is not an age—perhaps
there has never been an age—
when prophets or great states
men arise and give a trumpet
lead and the people hang on
their words. Sometimes, we
long for such leadership. But
we shall not get it, and we are
wrong to indulge in such
dreams. No one has major in
sights now; no one is an au
thority; the problems are tre
mendously new, and all are no
vices, all are fumbling . . . Not
greatness, not godlike insight
distinguishes one man or one
woman above the rest; but only
the little spark of courage, to

Better hurry and catch up
say and do the rather difficult
and different thing, to think
new thoughts, to follow small
insights — not waiting for big
ones. These are the people
this century needs.
Particularly, it seems to me, this
responsibility for independent and
courageous thought rests upon
those of us who are concerned with
education. However shopworn the
saying may be, it is still true that
“To whom much is given, of him
much is required.” For you who
graduate, for you who remain, there
is no greater gift I could wish than
you may fulfill the Great Expecta
tions within you. Therefore, as the
Testament put it, “Stir up
the gift of God which is within
thee. Hold fast that which thou

Next—what about your love-life?
Judging from the sound of things
in Corrin Refectory this year, 1959-
60 has broken all records for at
tachments of one kind or another.
Between pins, sparkling diamonds,
and golden circlets, Salem is pretty
well tied-up now! The delivery
man is staggering under the weight
of the carloads of red roses that
have been delivered around the
square since September 13.
There has been recently a grow
ing tendency to stop and evaluate
self and school. Beginning early
in the year and stirred to growth
by constructive “Letters to the Edi
tor,” this student evaluation has
kept pace with the school’s evalua
tion to maintain its accredited
standing. Along with articles such
as “No sauce for the Broccoli” has
come student discussion of every
phase of campus life.
Both around the square and be
yond the square, this year has been
one of change and progress. Now
that we can look back and observe
the trends of the year now clos
ing, plan to be prepared to watch
I for the new trends of 19^-61!
