The SNEA has chosen seniors
Kay Ascough, Daphne DuKate, and
Barbara Gardner as its three nom
inees for Salem’s “Miss Student
Teacher.” The three will appear
before a panel of judges in assembly
Tuesday, January 19.
Kay Ascough has recently finish
ed her practice teaching at Forest
Park Elementary School, where she
taught fourth grade. “The most
important thing I learned,” says
Kay, “is that it is impossible to teach
a class when you’re unprepared.”
She stresses the importance of at
tention to each student as an in
dividual. Kay says that along with
the hard work, there are amusing
moments. She used as an example
the time when instead of receiving
the traditional “apple for teacher,”
she got a box of dried prunes.
In addition to serving as president
of SNEA, Kay is also treasurer of
the senior class and Associate Editor
of Sights and Insights. She is major
ing in English.
Having just finished teaching both
accelerated and slow classes in
biology at North Forsyth High
School, Daphne DuKate can see
advantages in teaching a variety of
students. Daphne, who is majoring
in biology and minoring in German,
says she “loved every minute” of
her practice teaching this semester.
She adds that she not only grew
more fond of teaching as her per
sonal choice, but also gained respect
for teaching as a profession. Espec
ially meaningful to Daphne was her
association with a potential drop
out, who. Daphne says, “was a per
fect example of the dropout prob
lem today.” Through special atten
tion and motivation, she and her
supervising teacher were successful
in enabling the student to want to
stay in school
Daphne tells of another student
who was forced by his parents to
quit school, even though he was a
good student and wanted to remain.
“I saw how much contrast there is
between generations in their atti
tude toward the necessity of educa
tion,” she says. This year Daphne is
president of Lablings and Business
Manager of Sights and Insights.
She is a member of Phi Alpha Theta
and the Honor Society.
A Latin major with a history
minor, Barbara Gardner taught at
Gray High School. In addition to
her Latin I class and a study haU,
she also taught a class in German I.
Barbara “gained a great deal of as
surance” from her practice teaching.
She found it rewarding to see boys
wanting to make good grades, and
attributes some of their desire to
the fact that she always read aloud
the names of students who made
“100” on papers.
Barbara tells of an experience she
had on the first day of school when
a student asked her the German
word for “smart.” Barbara did not
know the word, so she quickly ask
ed the students on either side of
the inquiring student. When they
gave the same word, Barbara asked
if the one who questioned would
take their word for it. He did, “and
I went right out and studied my
German vocabulary!” Barbara says.
Barbara is a member of the Honor
Society and is presently serving as
day student representative to Judi
cial Board and co-chairman of pub
licity for Humanities.
The girl who is selected as Salem’s
“Miss Student Teacher” will repre
sent the college at the state NCEA
convention to be held in Asheville
this spring.

ddress At Raleigh Before Large Crowd
Dan K. Moore, the first Western
>rth Carolinian to be governor
ice 1917, was sworn in Friday,
nuary 8, as the 61st governor of
)rth Carolina. In his nineteen-
ndred address, Moore called on
11 who love North Carolina to
n me in a new dedication to the
tal development of our state.
Moore’s address was in keeping
th his campaign policies which
ruinated Judge L. Richardson
■eyer in the second primary and
^publican Robert Gavin in the
ineral election last November,
core’s policy of moderation was
>parent when he said “my admin-
tration will be in keeping with
ir proven traditions of good gov-
nment. When caution is dictated,
let us, in keeping with our tradition,
have the courage to be cautious. If
boldness is dictated, let us, in keep
ing with that same tradition, have
the courage to be bold.” ^
As well as carrying on Sanford s
program of quality education, Moore
especially expressed the desire of
initiating an attack against No^h
Carolina’s traffic problem. He
said, “one crucial problern which
must be attacked with new vigor and
new ideas is being spelled out in
blood on our streets and highways
each day. The crisis in traffic ac
cidents leaves us no choice but to
recommend constructive action by
1965 General Assembly. . . .”
Moore also said, “. . . my admin
istration will seek to give the people
of North Carolina honest, efficient
and economical government. . . .”
“. . . I will provide the firm leader
ship that will give North Carolina
a government that is dynamic, a
government that is compassionate
and tolerant, a government that
looks realistically at the hopes and
aspirations of every citizen.”

As the stanzas of “Standing At
the Portals” were sung on Septem
ber 17, the year nineteen hundred
and sixty-four officially opened at
Salem College.
As the Johnson-Goldwater cam
paigns gained momentum, Salemites
settled down to the normal school
routine of frequenting the newly
opened Farmers Dairy and post of
fice, attending first club meetings
and the Lecture Series with Alec
Gorshel as first speaker, and going
to visit the “little old ladies” of the
Moravian home. Enthusiastic girls
supported the hockey team while
freshmen had a tennis tournament.
New faculty was also being initiat
ed during the first few weeks. Un
doubtedly Mrs. Mary Lauerman,
Mrs. Brigitte Mittemeijer, the Rev.
Clark Thompson, Richard Williams,
Henry Rucker, Miss Mary Ann
Garcia, Dr. Mary Homrighous, Tom
Suomalainen, and John Burrows
were also learning a few things
about Salem life from students —
such as, the 8:30 class on Monday
mornings never is the most recep
tive group of girls.
Freshmen survived FITS — de
spite aching backs from 1001 ver
sions of “Heads, Shoulders, Knees,
and Toes.” Founder’s Day started
off with a bang (literally) October
6 and ended with the sophomores
as victors.
While the ousting of Khrushchev
cropped headlines on the interna
tional scene, the five-day week was
debated in the Salemite. Senior Fol
lies on October 8 was a memorable
night for all, also.
As election time drew near, poli
tical tensions as well as tensions
over mid-term tests developed. Two
new organizations. Young Demo
crats and Young Republicans were
formed on campus with enthusiastic
Salemite supporters. Governor Terry
Sanford came to the campus to
speak to the YDC. The Phi Alpha
Theta held its inductions and the
freshman class elected officers.
The VMI glee club caused a mild
sensation on campus November 7.
It is a toss-up as to whether the
mixer or the concert was more en
joyable.
When President Johnson won by
the biggest popular margin in his
tory, Robert Kennedy beat Kenneth
Keating, and the Democratic major
ities in both houses soared to better
than 2 to 1. Salemites were some
what prepared for the outcome be
cause the student body had held a
mock election in Assembly.
While the national election head
lined syndicated newspapers, The
Salemite carried local news of May
Day nominations, new Scorpion
members, and Who’s Who selec
tions. November 17, the second
Lecture Series presented Betty
Friedan.
Broadway came to Salem as the
Pierrettes gave a successful pro
duction of “As You Like It.” May
Queen Sally Day and her court were
elected.
Opening the Christmas season
was the Moravian Candle Tea
