Gillespie, Jenkins, Stone Vie For Miss Student Teacher
. j
Earlier this week a screening
committee of the SNEA met to
choose six girls as tentative nomi
nees for the title of Miss Student
Teacher of Salem College. The
three whom the entire club finally
selected were Churchill Jenkins,
Emily Stone, and Sally Gillespie.
All three have practice taught, are
not January graduates, and are
members of the SNEA, as required
by the rules of the election. Their
selection was based upon their re
cord of practice teaching, of stu
dent activities, and of personality.
The girl who is finally selected will
represent the student teachers of
Salem at the state NEA convention
in Asheville in the spring.
Churchill, from Conway, S. C.,
did her practice teaching at Speas
School, a county school for grades
one to four, located near Wake
Forest on Polo Road. She stated
that her practice teaching gave her
some idea of what ’ material is
covered in the various grades and
of what to expect of an eight-year-
old. She also found out “how often
you have to repeat things to a third
grader.” More important, she
learned what were her own
strengths and weaknesses. She
found that no two children are
alike; a teacher'has to aim at each
student in particular, and, at the
same time, at the entire group.
While majoring in Religion and
minoring in Elementary Education,
Churchill has been President of
Student Government, a member of
the Order of the Scorpion, and of
“Who’s Who in American Colleges
and Universities.”
The following is Churchill’s philo
sophy of Education;
I feel that education should
benefit every phase of the de
velopment of an individual. It
should contribute to his moral,
social, and emotional development
as well as to his mental and phy
sical maturation. Education
should encourage creativity, in
quiry, and honesty. The class
room should serve as a miniature
society, teaching the child demo
cracy, self-reliance, responsibility
and respect for others. Educa
tion should offer opportunity for
the development of individual dif
ferences and as the result should
strive to produce individuals who
are eager to learn, willing to con
tribute to others, and above all
who are honest with God, their
fellow men, and themselves.
Sophomores Display Salem
Onyx Ring In Main Hall
The hard work of a few students
has paid off, and Salem College
rings will be available to the stu
dent body beginning this year. Stu
dents interested in purchasing a
school ring are to sign up Monday
in Main Hall. Measuring for the
rings will be done Tuesday and
Wednesday, the seventeenth and
eighteenth, by representatives of
the company making them. The
rings are expected to be distributed
to Salemites by May.
The design of the ring was voted
on before Christmas vacation and
was accepted by a majority of the
student body. The ring will be
available in either white or yellow
gold and in either a regular size
or a little finger ring. The prices
are as follows;

program consisted of excerpts from

Cats by T. S. Eliot and a dance

salems Marjorie Foyles, Susan Ray

Brenda Willis, Alta Lu Townes, and

Winnie Bath did a reading of

After graduation, Churchill plans
to marry Bill Hedgepath and to
teach in Columbia, S. C. while he
finishes U. S. C.
Sally Gillespie knows she will
teach somewhere — her location is
Regular ring Yellow Gold $24.69
White Gold $26.95
Little finger ring Yellow Gold $24.13
White Gold $26.39
These prices include all taxes. A
sample ring has been on display in
Main Hall since Tuesday. This ring
does not have the Salem seal im
printed in the onyx as the finished
ring will; however, it will give the
students an idea of the ring’s ap
pearance.
The sophomore class originated
the idea of having a school ring
early last fall, and a committee
from that class was appointed to
make an initial study. This com
mittee, headed by Clarissa Joyce
and Rooney Nelson, found a great
deal of interest among Salemites
in having a school ring. Girls from
each of the classes were to make
definite plans for getting the rings.
Therefore, all classes were con
sulted in choosing a ring for Salem.
All classified sophomores, juniors,
and seniors are eligibe to purchase
rings. Don’t forget to see the ring
Monday and to be measured for
yours on Tuesday or Wednesday.
A $5.00 deposit will be required at
this time.
Pres. Tells
Of $120,000
Dr. Gramley announced today
that Salem College received endow
ment grants over Christmas totaling
about $120,000 - bringing Salem’s
total gifts for the calendar year
1960 to $305,000.
The largest single contribution
came from the Z. Smith Reynolds
Foundation in the amount of $100,-
000 for unrestricted endowment.
Other gifts included $5,000 for other
endowment purposes and $2,500 for
scholarship endowments. The bal
ance of the gifts is for general
operation costs. The gift of the
Reynolds Foundation brought the
book value of the endowment fund
over 2 million dollars, doubled since
1950.
After the settlement of the Anna
Ogburn estate, an alumnae of 1909,
an additional $250,000 will be added
to the endowment fund.
Dr. Gramley also announced that
there will be no increase in Salem’s
tuition for next year.
Churchill Jenkins
not as yet set. Sally, from Blue-
field, Virginia, is majoring in Public
School Music and will receive her
B.M. in the spring. Here on cam
pus she has been a member of the
Music Club, President of the Y,
and a member of SNEA.
She did her practice teaching in
music in all grades at both Old
Town Elementary School and at
Southwest High School. Her main
regret was that with this program,
she did not get to know any of
her students well.
As Sally presents her views on
education to us on Tuesday in
Chapel,'she will elaborate on her
belief that a teacher’s goal is to
get the child to understand him
self, using the subject matter as a
means; in this way he will also
come to understand others.
Emily Stone’s talk will take up
some of the many ideas about edu
cation, and will stem from the point
of view of what teaching means to
her. She found that she enjoyed
practice teaching so much more
than she had ever anticipated. She
learned, too, that a teacher' needs
a much wider range of information
than she expected to use, for T.V.,
radio, and children’s encyclopedias
Page Bradham
Studies Abroad
Page Bradham, a sophomore his
tory major from Greensboro, will
be studying at the University of
Vienna second semester.
She will sail from New York on
February 2 with about 125 other
college students from the United
States.
Page applied to the Institute of
European Studies in September and
was accepted in November. The
students will live in Austrian homes.
They will be taught about the Aus
trian customs while on board ship,

of the Jellicles” by Sally Beverly,
and “The Addressing of Cats” by
Betsy Davis.
In the past, the Pierrettes have
presented Firstborn, The Boyfriend,
and No Exit, plays which have been
enjoyed by all Salemites and praised
by their audiences. The Dansalems

cond semester classes.
The University of Vienna has
classes taught in English, using
both professors who speak English
and tape recorded lectures in Eng
lish.
She will travel in Europe after
the semester ends returning to the
U. S. in August.
Sally Gillespie
provide many new ideas to- the
children which the teacher can fol
low up in class. Emily thinks that
the most important tjiing in edu
cation is the child himself. Each
child has the right to develop to
the capacity of his abilities, and
the teacher must see him as an
individual and start to teach him
from his present level. One of the
hardest things for a teacher, then,
is to give each child the maximum
fullfilment of his educational needs.
A Religion major from Canton,
N. C., Emdly did her practice teach
ing in Speas School with the se
cond grade. On campus, Emily has
been active in the Wesley Founda
tion, IRS, Pierrettes, Choral En
semble, and as movie Chairman of
SNEA and Hall President of Bitt
ing. And we’ll be glad to have her
near Salem in the next few years,
for she’ll be teaching in the Win
ston-Salem area.
But the more immediate question
is, who will be actively representing
Salem at that NEA convention ifl
the spring? Be attentive to their
talks and answers in Chapel on
Tuesday, and see if you can guess
the judges choice.
