The Orientation Com mittee is usually composed of mem bers of Legislative Board, but this year Judicial Board has been asked to help. Chairman Jane Grimsley felt that if members of Judicial Board were present during Orien tation, the freshmen would have a better opportunity to get answers to their millions of questions con cerning rules and regulations. Jane also hopes that an atmosphere w^ould be created which would lend itself strongly to a greater respect for the Honor Tradition. During the first week that the freshmen are here, their days will be filled with testing, registration, infirmary visits, and library orien tation. The Orientation Committee will try to fill the nights with acti vities on a lighter side. Tentatively, the plans are as follows: Sunday there will be greetings from Dr. Gramley and Mr. Surrat. Follow ing this there will be the traditional Sunday Night Sing, one of the favorite activities among freshmen. Monday night is the Club Car- Graduates Await Activities Of Commencement Week By Jane Horton To honor the 1966 graduates of Salem College a number of activi ties have been planned for June 4 and 5. Saturday, June 4, includes the dedication of the Pauline Bahn- son Gray Foyer at 10:45 a.m., offi cial induction of the seventy-six new alumnae into the Salem Col lege Alumnae Association at H a.m., and the Alumnae Luncheon at 1 p.m. That evening seniors, par ents, and faculty will be entertained at a supper on the lawn at 5:30 p.m.. The Commencement Concert at 8 p.m., and an informal reception at 9:15 p.m. The last two events will take place in the Fine Arts Center. Next, on Sunday morning at 11 the Reverend Clark A. Thompson, College Chaplain, will deliver the Baccalaureate Service at Home Moravian Church. Seniors and their families will be guests of the college for dinner at 12:30 p.m. Scheduled for 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 5, Mr. John Fries Blair will speak at the concluding Commence ment Exercises which will take place in Hanes Auditorium in the Fine Arts Center. A special point of interest is the schedule of alumnae activities. The brief dedication of the Pauline Bahnson Gray Foyer on Saturday morning, June 4, will feature a cof fee from 10-10:45, remarks by Dr. Dale H. Gramley at the ceremony, and paintings by the late Mrs. James A. Gray, Sr. on the walls of the foyer. The deceased alumnae was a 1910 graduate of Salem Col lege and Academy; her son, Mr. James A. Gray, Jr., is now presi dent of Old Salem, Inc. Following the dedication, the 80th annual meeting of the Alumnae Associa tion will convene, and the Class of 1966 will receive official member ship. Speaking on Sunday, June 5, will be two distinguished gentlemen, the Reverend Clark A. Thompson and Mr. John Fries Blair. Mr. Thomp son, a familiar and respected figure on the Salem campus, has chosen the topic, “You Shall Know the Truth,” for Baccalaureate. For Commencement Mr. Blair, who is president of the Wachovia His torical Society and Blair Publish ing Company and former professor at Salem and Moravian Colleges, will relate the historic 200th Anni versary to its meaning today. Thus, the whirl of graduation week-end will end in contemplation. nival. This will give the freshmen an opportunity to become acquain ted with clubs and organizations on campus, and to express an interest in any that they would like to join. Wednesday night is Mixer Night with girls from Salem and boys from Wake Forest. We are plan ning on the music of a really good combo, and to give the party a more relaxed, cordial atmosphere, it may be held in Babcock Terrace Room. Thursday night there will be two special surprises not only for the freshmen, but also for the rest of the student body, This best be kept a secret. Sometime the fol lowing week, Pierrettes will present a short play for the entire student body. Oh, yes! Throughout the week all will be frantically studying for the all important Handbook Test. Who wants to be carapused the second week of school? The Orientation Committee will meet Monday at 11 :00 a.m.. Please particularly you freshmen, if any one has any suggestions, let some one on the Orientation Committee know. We want this one to be the best one ever, so any help, criticism, or suggestions from you will be appreciated. It is with a great deal of excite ment and anticipation that the Orientation Committee begins its work. It isn’t an easy job, but a most rewarding one. What a feeling of warmth and of a job well done when the freshmen last fall pre sented the Orientation Committee with a tremendous basket of flowers! Mr. Shewmake reflects upon his new honor os recipient of the Sights and insights dedication. Shewmake Receives Honor Of Yearbook Dedication by Mary Oameron “He’s an ’Oh, by the way,’ man— this man with the pipe. . . .” reads the dedication of the 1966 Sights and Insights. The man described— Mr. Edwin Shewmake-^is now in his seventeenth year as a Profes sor of Art at Salem. Before coming to Salem, Mr. Shewmake attended numerous edu cational institutions. He received a degree in Economics from David son and an M.A. degree in Art History from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He also attended Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D. C., the Art Student’s League, Cleveland Mu- Salemites Present Surprise Dinner For Nella, Moira Salem’s shocked and happy ex change students, Moira de Rosa from Panama and Nella Steen- bakkers from Holland, were greeted at dinner on Wednesday evening. May 18, by a loud “SURPRISE!” from all Salemites. Everyone, ex cept Nella and Moira, had anti cipated the surprise for a long time. The special treat for the two guests of honor was a special meal of favorite dishes from Panama and Holland. Jane Hall and Dottie Girling took charge of the preparations. The refectory was decorated with travel posters and tulips, which were gay additions from each country. On one poster there was a lovable Dutch toymaker with big wooden shoes and fat red cheeks, sur rounded by toys he had made. A beautiful Panamanian girl dressed in a red shawl and a handmade native skirt stood among flow'ers of all colors on another poster. On another, a woman in Dutch dress was pictured picking red tulips for a small boy. Spanish recordings provided dinner music. (The re cords were secretly “borrowed” from Moira’s own collection by Jane Hall.) Centerpieces of Dutch tulips decorated each table. Nella and Moira were presented gifts from the Salem student body of water color drawings of scenes around Salem. Clever songs to the tunes of “Jamaica Farewell” and “My Favorite Things” provided en tertainment, as Salemites attempted to show their affection and appre ciation to two outstanding mem bers of the college community. Some of the favorite things which Nelly and Moira will remember of Salem are: (Continued on page 3) seum, and Ringliug School. During his leave of absence from Salem in 1962-63, he worked with a colony of artists in Woodstock, N. Y. Mr. Shewnakc has two young daughters, Tenley :ind Tiffin. His wife, a sculpturess, does part-time teaching at Winston-Salem State. He is recognized in many ways: as the son of the former Chairman of the English Department at Davidson, as the man who drives the ancient Chevrolet, as the artist who has flipped over “aervlis” (art using a pla.stic medium). But more than for any of the former, he is recognized as the man who played a major role in the establishment of the new Winston-Salem Fine Arts Gallery in Old Salem and as a distinguished member of the Salem College faculty. Mr. Shew'makc’s exhibit will go on display May 22 at the Arts and Crafts Center on Coliseum Drive.
