Where It^s At Winston-Salem - YOUR CITY Welcome to Winston-Salem! You are' not only a resident of Salem, but also a resident of this lovely, hilly Piedmont city which offers you a variety of places to see and things to do. Of course, there is Old Salem, a ‘must” on your list of places to sec. From your tour of the exhibition juildings and from just walking ilong the brick walks of this au- dientically restored Moravian Con gregation town, you will begin to luderstand some of the heritage of Salem and the peacefulness that :haracterizes this settlement. In addition to the exhibition niildings in Old Salem, you must )e sure to visit the Winkler Bakery ind Salem Tavern where old Mora- /ian receipes add to the authen ticity of Old Salem. Down the street from the Tavern is another ittraction of this area. There, in he Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA) you are :akeu from room to room, period to jeriod through a fantastic collection jf Southern antiques that reveal nteresting cultural patterns of the South from its earliest settlements mtil 1820. A facility that regularly changes OLD SALEM TOUR WEDNESDAY MORNING WINSTON-SALEM TOUR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON is the Gallery of Contemporary Art on Main Street heading toward town. You won’t want to miss their interesting exhibits which include many forms of contemporary art. Reynolda Estate should also be a “must” for your leisure time. Rey nolda House, the former home of Richard Joshua Reynolds, founder of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com pany, houses an excellent collection of American art from colonial times through the present. For both study and relaxation, students also find Reynolda Gardens a pleasant change of pace. If you’re looking for a bit more activity, you might head over to Whitaker Park (near Wake -Fore^) and tour the largest cigarette manu facturing plant under one roof in the world (they give free cigarettes, too). And the Schlitz Brewery (also the largest in the world), located on Highway 52 South, offers tours. Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, about 10-15 minutes out of town on Interstate 40 West, offers golf, boating, riding, and great picnicking facilities, and Pilot Mountain and Hanging Rock, State Park (both about 25 miles North of W-S on Hwy. 52 North) can provide a full day of hiking, picnicking, and beau tiful scenery. To fill your evenings if you want to be constructive yet not neces sarily academic, you may enroll in the Experimental College at Wake P'orest for such courses as skiing, contemporary theatre, the thought of Paul Tillich, etc., or you may sign up for classes in Arts and Crafts at Hanes Community Center. The YWCA and YMCA hold swimming classes (including WSI) throughout the year if you want to improve your swimming and get some exercise. For entertainment, there are con certs and programs held frequently at Salem, Wake Forest, and the N. C. School of the Arts. In addi tion, the city has its own Little Theatre, Singers Guild, Symphony, foreign film showings (Film Fri ends), and several other such groups which you may take advant age of. If you’re not busy enough around the Square or just want to get away from the campus for awhile, get to know Winston-Salem. It has a great deal to offer you. X FCi^^T MV TiDoTtfBRtlsy I
