Address Students In First Assembly
On Thursday, September 14, at
3:30 p.m., underclassmen, faculty,
and seniors met in Memorial Hall
for the opening convocation of
Salem’s 190th session.

different from past ones in several
respects. A slight drizzle of rain
prevented underclassmen from fil
ing into Memorial Hall by classes,
brought forth new freshmen rain-
gowns. A record enrollment of 499
college students prevented Aca
demy girls from attending the
opening. The ceremony was held
in the afternoon, after morning
registration of only three hours,
instead of the usual morning open
ing after a full day of registration.
The familiar strains of “Stand
ing at the Portal” announced the
arrival of the faculty and seniors.

FITS Begins
As Freshmen
Don Beanies
Despite Tuesday’s damp and
dreary weather, sophomores drag
ged some 143 freshmen from their
beds at 6:30. The freshmen were
then led to the athletic field where
they knelt to receive their oaths
as misfits. Then each sophomore
crowned her freshman with a yel
low and white beanie.
After the capping was over the
misfits were led back to their
rooms where the sophomores
picked out their clothes for the
day. Most girls wore mismatched
shoes, striped blouses, and plaid
skirts or a similar motley outfit.
The effect was heightened by the
absence of all make-up.
Breakfast was served at 7:15, and
while the freshmen stood in line
they entertained their sophomore
sisters with songs like, “Head,
Shoulders, Knees, and Toes,” “Oh,
What a Beautiful Morning,” and
“Let’s Twist Again.” Each fresh
man found herself introducing
members of her class to sopho
mores, and vice v^rsa.'
A curtsy shows proper respect
to seniors and boys. ’
How long the beanies will be
worn is a secret, according to
Frances Bailey, Chairman of FITS.
Besides fun, FITS is designed to
-acquaint the members of the fresh
man and sophomore classes and
bring a closer relationship between
the two groups. Cooperation of all
will insure the success of the FITS
program.
Committee, made up of members
of the Pierrette Council. Their
recommendations were presented
to Mr. Carver who made the final
decision.
Mr. Carver, new drama director
and the “first man to live in a
girls’ dorm” (with Mrs. Carver in
Pfohl House), says there will be
approximately '30 acting parts. 10
of these are niajor characters. In
reverse of the practice in Shake
speare’s time of using all male
actors, Mr. Carver announced that
Salem’s production will have an all
female cast.
Shakespeare’s famous comedy is
full of action and laughs. It deals
with a contest of wills—Petruchio’s
a n d Katharina’s — and Lucentio’s
plot to win the hand of Katharin'a’s
younger sister, Bianca.
The Taming of the Shrew was
first printed in the First Folio of
1623. It was an improved version
of an earlier anonymous play pub
lished in 1594. The authorship of
this earlier play has been attributed
to Marlowe, Greene, and Shake
speare, but the 1623 version is
generally acknowledged to be
Shakespeare’s work.
Tryouts. for the first Pierrette
production of the 1961-62 season
will be held on October 2.
White Attends
New Workshop
Last July 24, Mr. Jack Murray
White, assistant to Dr. Gramley,
began a week-long workshop in
College Business Management at
the University of Omaha. Some
two hundred college business heads
•participated in the course which
was begun twelve years ago by the
late Charles Hoff. It was the first
course of its kind in the nation.
Mr. White, a native of Winston-
Salem, completed his undergrad
uate work at Guilford College and
received his master’s degree from
the University of North Carolina.
He was one of fifty-two applicants
•to attend the workshop, on a
scholarship granted by the Carne
gie Corporatipn of New York.
Included in the intensive study
session was instruction in budget
preparation and control, in the
planning of various college build
ings, and in the management of
auxiliary enterprises such as the
dining hall and laundry. Mr. White
feels that the sharing of ideas
among the other “students” was as
valuable, if not more so, as the
actual courses. He is still receiv
ing suggestions for Salem’s pro
posed fine arts building from the
participants in the workshop. He
al?o' believes that some of the ideas
gained from the courses, although,
not useful now, may be helpful in
years to come.
As assistant to Dr. Gramley, Mr.
White controls the physical plant
of the college. In doing so, he is
constantly supervising the renova
tion and remodeling of the dining
hall, dormitories, and academic
buildings to make them more con
venient for us. In addition, he
controls the purchasing end of the
college budget and is in charge of
personnel. There is no doubt that
Salem College will benefit from
Mr. White’s experience at the Uni
versity of Omaha.
