Number
Parents Of Students Give
Paintings For New Exhibit
By Jane Horton
Saiem parents have pitched in to
enhance the campus commemora
tion of the Winston-Salem Bicen
tennial celebration.
Originated by the Winston-Salem
Bicentennial Exhibition Committee
and organized by the Salem College
Art Department, this showing offi
cially opened at 3:30 p.m., March
21, 1966, in the Salem Fine Arts
Center. Featured in the exhibit are
twenty-three works of various real
istic types including two family por
traits. However, various interest
ing features can be pointed out in
this fascinating collection.
Certain contributions bear the
signature of relatives of Salem stu
dents. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Morton
of Washington, D. C., submitted
“The Greenbriar,” “Mill,” and
“Rowing,” by their daughter, Anne
Morton, sister of Salemite Diane
Morton. Mr. and Mrs. H. B.
Wyche, parents of freshman, Ann
Wyche, sent four selections en
titled “Interior,” “Young Artist,"
“Landscape,” and “Seascape” all by
Mr. Wyche. The Wyehes reside
in Hallsboro, N. C. Even grand
mothers seem to have a knack with
Pierrettes Present Parable;
Compares Animals, Society
Animal Farm is a startling par
able of, in the immediate sense, the
Communist Revolution in Russia.
In a longer view, it concerns the
dangers of a totalitarianism wrought
by individual unscrupulousness and
unwittingly by a powerless pro
letariat. Tired of human tyranny,
the animals of Manor Farm drive
Farmer Jones away and set up a
government of their own, dedicated
to equality and justice for all ani
mals, only to see their revolution
evoke a horror as great as human
domination.
Inspired by a wise old hog, the
animals try to fulfill their dreams
for a better life through self-gov
ernment. Successful at first, they
follow the doctrines of “Animalism,”
forbidding the copying of human
habits and encouraging hard work
in hopes of improving food quan-
itity and living standards. But the
pigs, cleverer and craftier than the
other animals, soon begin to usurp
power. Becoming “supervisors” in
stead of workers, the pigs organize
the projects and oversee all under
takings on, as it is now called,
"Animal Farm.” Forming a hier
archy, they domirate the animals

Spectators admire paintings contributed for exhibit by parents of
Salemites.
By Anne Calhoun
The Freshman Class entertained
about 200 parents on Salem’s cam
pus last weekend in celebration of
Parents’ Day, on Saturday, March
19. The Salemites’ guests registered
in Strong Dormitory during the
morning, where they received warm
greetings and the day’s agenda as
well as Moravian sugar cake and
coffee.
Many parents received first-hand
tours of the campus from their
daughters. A few dormitories were
open for inspection Saturday morn
ing, The mothers and fathers in
spected and admired the unusually
tidy rooms. However, a few de
rogatory comments were heard.
The fathers then exhausted the
freshman team by a solid victory
of 15-7.
Saturday night, the volleyball
players and spectators attended a
banquet in the Refectory, which
was beautifully decorated by volun
teer teams, including some of the
mothers. After enjoying a roast
beef dinner, N a n c y Holderness,
president of the Freshman Class,
opened the short program of
speeches by expressing her feelings
about companionship at Salem.
Other speakers were Dean Ivy
Hixson, Dean Jessie Wood, and Dr.
Dale Gramley. Dean Hixson dis
cussed academics, then Dean Wood
described the sorrows and joys
which have been new experiences
at Salem. Closing the program. Dr!

Life” and “Landscape” indicate.
These two works were loaned by
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Cole of Win
ston-Salem; freshman Lynn Cole
is the granddaughter of the artist.
However, talent is not all in the
family. Other excellent pieces by
outside artists appear in the display.
Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Gibb of Front
Royal, Virginia have “Courtney,
six months,” “Courtney, five years,”
“Young Girl,” and “A Little Sick”
in the collection. Glen Rounds’

and Mrs. H. D. Holderness, Tar-
boro, N. C. Mr. and Mrs. Dallas

ted two oils by Olivia Harris,
“Landscape” and “Views.” An
etching, “Forum, Rome,” from the
collection of Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Dozier, Durham, N. C., is also
placed in the Fine Arts Building.
The generosity of these interested
Salem parents will certainly be en
joyed and appreciated by the col
lege as well as by the visitors to
this 200th anniversary celebration.
such as, “My word! There are foot
prints on your ceiling I” or “The
rug certainly needs cleaning!”
Beginning at 1 :00 p.m., the par
ents attended a shortened version
of a typical day of classes, where
they w'ere able to talk wdth profes
sors, since the freshmen did not at
tend these classes.
At 3:30 p.m. . the mothers and
daughters changed the pace of the
day with a game of volleyball in
the gym. The fathers cheered en
thusiastically as the mothers went
down in defeat with the final score
of 15-10. However, in a rematch
the daughters were smashed 16-14.
With the Symposium on “Tech-
nopolis. Trends in Modern Socity”
approaching, the library is accumu
lating and ordering books and
periodicals for students to use in
preparation. Mrs. Anna Cooper
states that the committee is in the
process of completing a reading
list or choosing books to be made
available in paperback versions for
students to purchase.
The books that will be included
on this bibliography will be grouped
together on shelves on the balcony
in the library. These will be avail
able to the students to check out
for short periods of time. Periodical
articles, as well, will be clipped and
placed for access with these books.
The library plans to have this col
lection in order before spring vaca
tion so that students can begin
reading.
A number of books which have
already been ordered include the
following selections:
Altezer, Thomas, Truth, Myth and
Symbol.
Cox, Harv''y. The Secular City
Fletcher, Joseph. Morals and Medi-
Graver, W. Booke. American Inter

dity and trustfulness. Then in a
dramatic coup, the whole govern
ment is taken over by one pig,
Napoleon.
Napoleon has all the attributes of
a dictator: a police force—a howl
ing pack of dogs; a spokesman to
placate the masses—Squealer, an
unusually articulate pig; total
power, achieved by duping the less
clever animals and carrying out the
death penalty against subversives;
and a devious mind always discover
ing ways of improving his own lot
by taking advantage of others.
Under Napoleon’s leadership, the
farm becomes more prosperous, but
only the pigs seem to gain from
it. When the other animals finally
realize their plight at the hands of
Napoleon and his fellows, it is too
late—the pigs have complete con
trol and have assumed all the char
acteristics of humans. They walk
on all fours, smoke, drink whiskey,
and carry whips. It is impossible
to tell a pig from a man!
Presenting this powerful play in
the form of a reading, the Pierrette
Players brilliantly struck home the

Louise Marsh, a Salem junior, is
among fifty-six finalists being con
sidered for an appointment to the
1966 North Carolina State Govern
ment Sutnmer Internship Program.
On Saturday, March 19, she was in
terviewed at the University of
North Carolina. On the basis of
this interview and her qualifications,
Louise may be one of twenty-five
students selected for the program.
The Internship Program, now in
its fifth year, is designed “to pro
vide North Carolina college stu
dents with a better understanding
of the opportunities and challenges
offered by State government, and
at the same time to give State gov
ernment the benefit of the con
structive work and critical obser
vations of twenty-five of North
Carolina’s better college students.”
The students work all summer with
various state agencies and partici
pate in seminars on government.
An example of the kind of work
they do is a 47 page report for the
Alcoholic Rehabilitation Section of
the North Carolina Prison Depart
ment which one intern prepared
last year.
The interns may receive three
hours college credit for participation
in the seminars on government.
As a finalist, Louise was inter
viewed at the University of North
Carolina on Saturday, March 19, by
a panel of seven men. On the panel
were Donald Hayman, head of the
Institute of Government, two repre
sentatives of State government, and
political science professors from
Duke, Davidson, and Wake Forest.
They asked such questions as “Why
are you interested in serving as a
Summer Intern ?” and “What
special interests and abilities do you
think you would bring to a State
department or agency this sum
mer?”
“I had to sit at the head of the
table,” Louise said later. “It was
frightening.”
If she is selected as one of the
twenty-five interns, Louise wants to
work with the Board of Science and
Technology, the Department of Ad
ministration, the Board of Educa
tion, or the Board of Health. She
will be notified of her appointment
or rejection on or before April 1.
