Gram leys Give
Senior Dinner
One of the more enjoyable and
appreciated traditions at Salem is
the dinner Dr. and Mrs. Gramley
give the seniors annually. Wed
nesday night a group of smiling,
hungry and ftutre graduates as
sembled for what many described
“a real feast.”
The entertainment “swung” with
folk ballads, Kingston Trio style,
sung by the “New Salem Trio”
from Reynolds High School.
The only silence evident during
the evening occurred as the seniors
listened to remarks from the deans,
Mr. Campbell and Dr. Gramley.
Each gave a word of advice or an
idea for the seniors to follow. Dean
Hixson reminded the girls of the
necessity of “long-range education.”
Dean Sandresky, after the obser
vation that he had succeeded Dr.
Gramley as head of the music de
partment, advised the seniors to
keep an open mind. After Dean
Wood had thanked the seniors for
their cooperation, Roy Campbell,
the Class Advisor, stated that the
class had lived up to his expecta
tions of four years ago.
Dr. Gramley’s remarks provoked
the response from one senior, “How
can such a great man know so
much about women ?”
The seniors, who are usually the
first out of the refectory, were re
luctant to leave. However, the
dinner was finally adjourned only
to reassemble at the Gramley^s
home.
