Well-Deserved Thank You
Installation of officers marks the time when each organizational
head bequeathes its charge to a younger group of "parents."
Although a new Salemite staff takes over next week, many of its
members are already well acquainted with the workings of a
newspaper. They, more than likely, will achieve many of the
hoped-for goals which so easily can become entangled and subse
quently laid aside in the network of routine assignments.
This year has fled quickly—too quickly it seems now—but my
concern is not where we've been; it's where we're going. Staffs
will always come and go; The Salemite will endure as long as there
are interested people to maintain and nurture its existence.
A great many people have contributed to The Salemite this year,
and to them all, especially the printers, I say thank you . . . for
innumerbale hours spent working to create, collect and organize
material for a paper, for adaptibility to last minute situations
when there wasn't enough copy to fill an issue, for perseverance
in the quest for accuracy and information, and for willingness to
offer consultation and criticism. The thank you they deserve ex
ceeds any enumeration, for a single issue couldn't hold an account
of all the people and the many different ways in which they have
helped.

Spring is the time when Cupid
picks up his bow and shoots arrows
of love into the hearts of both the
young and old. Tradition holds
true this spring, but the old-fash
ioned tradition of the young man
getting on his knees and asking the
hand of ■ the young lady he wishes
to marry went out with the twist
and the hoola-hoop.
Bill Cobb, the fiance of Dianne
Dove, wrapped up her engagement
ring in the top of a package of life
savers. He asked her to hand him
a mint and instead of pulling out
the life saver she found her dia
mond. I imagine it was the sweet
est mint she ever got!
Ginny Rogers, who is engaged to
Richard Frick, went down with her
fiance’s father to pick out her own
ring. It seems that Richard has
another engagement with the Navy
and could not get there himself.
Who hasn’t seen Ann Schouler’s
diamond! Mike Kirkpatrick just
happened to have an heirloom dia
mond ring in his family and he just
happened to give it to Ann.
Marianne Buie thought she was
getting perfume when Bob Gingher
handed her a present. After tear
ing through several small boxes she
finally found what she had been
waiting for.—her diamond.
Sallie King, who is engaged to
Chuck Hollis, isn’t wasting any
time; the date is set for June 10.
Chuck enters the service June 16!
Sandra Frazier and Eddie Ross
are just as excited as Sallie and
Chuck, but they are planning for a
fall wedding.
Mary McMillan, who is engaged
to Dave Millar, tried her diamond
ring on for size the night of Pledge
Formals at Duke, but she couldn’t
keep it until her engagement was
announced in her home paper.
Carolyn Dawson knew that Bill
Yancy was going to bring her an
engagement ring on Friday, Febru
ary 17, but an ice storm was also
planned for that weekend. She had
to wait until Sunday before Bill
could come to see her.
Sharyn Dettwiller picked up Bob
Douglass from the airport. When
he was driving her home he asked
her to hand him his brief case. He
calmly opened the brief case and
ossed the ring to her.
Marty Dickerson sure did work
fast! Ben Davis, an SAE at Har
vard, gave her a pin two weeks ago,
and now she is engaged.
Spring has been especially good
to these girls but pins and frater
nity “sweethearts” are just as popu
lar.

in again.
The first sing of spring every
year is—no, not the return of all
the boys whose spring vacation is
the week after ours—the friendly
(?) Red Rover games. This year
it appeared that the games would
retain their universal appeal until
Tuggie Todd’s super fall stopped
them cold. An arm out of joint
can dampen any spirits.
Molly McPherson finally had the
cast removed. After two months of
confinement, that leg was ready for
some fresh air and sunshine—but it
wasn’t quite ready for as much as
it got, for Molly returned to school
with a mild case of sun-poisoning.
Bettie Henderson received word
from her fiance that he had arrived
safely in Vietnam—by radiogram!
Ham operators on the coast relayed
the message Larry had for Bettie
to a ham operator here and he
called her to give her the message.

Montreal Fair To Portray
Man Building His World
The new "In" place to go this year is Montreal. Here, just fori]
miles north of the U. S. border, on two man-made islands andi]
peninsula in the St. Lawrence River, will be situated the CanadW
Universal and International Exposition. Better known as Expo '
this exhibition represents Canada's finishing touch to the year-loij
celebration of her 100th anniversary os a confederation
Expo 67 will be the first international exhibition of the "Fisl
Category" ever held in the Western Hemisphere, and only thethW
ever. Officially sanctioned by the Bureau of International b
hibitions in Paris, set up in 1928 to establish rules for world's foiii
it has attracted the support of governments from oil parts of t(»
world. Canada alone is investing at least $350 million in Expoil,
and seventy other countries that will participate are spendin|
hundreds of millions more for the most dazzling array of inl«,
notional pavilions ever erected in one place.
True to the traditions of world exhibitions. Expo 67 carries!
theme that tests the ingenuity and stimulates the intelligence!!
the participants. The pavilions and special events will portro)
"Man and His World," a theme inspired by French writer opi
aviator, Antoine de Saint-Exupery who wrote in Terre des Hops
mes that "To be a man is to feel that through one's contributioPi
one helps to build the world." This central theme will be ef
pressed through five major sub-themes depicting man as creott
explorer, producer, provider, and member of the community.
Ever since the first world's fair at London's Crystal Palace ii
1851, world exhibitions have been noted for unusual and drqmolk
architecture. Expo 67 is no exception.
American visitors are sure to be impressed by their governmeel'i

Canada, befitting the host country, is spending more than
million on a pavilion that it hopes will dominate the l,O00-oc*
