Who’s Wh
Once again, Salem has an im
pressive list of outstanding sen
iors who have achieved recogni
tion for their college work by
being placed upon the American
Colleges and Universities’ list of
Who’s Who. To be nominated
for such an honor the girl must
have a good academic average
and have been elected to respon
sible positions in extracurricular
organizations. To discover who’s
who and who’s what among
American college students, the
following is a brief description
of Salem’s representatives.
Senior class president Lisa
Herron is one of the eleven ex
cited nominees. She styles her
self as a “damn Yankee” from
Buffalo, New York, who has en
joyed her four years at Salem
more than she could ever ex
press. Many Salemites will re
member her best dressed in ski
pants and ski jacket ready to hit
the slopes. Lisa has also been an
active member of SSC - mnning
those lights and controlling the
sound for assemblies. She is sor-
r)' to see the 4 years pass and
finds it difficult to believe that
it’s almost time to get out into
the “hard cmel world.”
Sharing Lisa’s dismay at the
fact that she too will be leaving
Salem in only seven short
months is classmate Jeannie Dor
sey. Jeannie promises regardless
of where she ends up, even if it
is in the back woods of Canada,
that she will publicize Salem C.
loudly. Jeannie feels very lucky
to have been elected to all the
positions she has held in the past
three years and believes “getting
involved” is the key to a success
ful college career. She calls her
self the “stunned” president of
her sophomore class and com
mented that was the only year
the class actually made money
on buying their rings. Then, as a
junior, the “grand” marshall fol
lowed Mr. Pete’s footsteps all
year long. And now, her senior
year is marked by I.R.S. calling
for “intervisitation,” “better
food - forget the raisins!” and
another “John Denver” concert.
In attempting to decide what a
person should do, Jeannie pro
fesses a modified epicurean phi
losophy - sit back and enjoy!
She strongly feels that happiness
at Salem comes from an inner
gladness.
Cathy Gazes agrees with Jean-
nie’s emphasis upon involve
ment. She feels involvement in
both the academic and extracur
ricular fields was a learning ex
perience which broadened her
understanding not only of her
self but of the community in
which she lived. Cathy stated
the “names” of the various offi
ces she has held have no real sig
nificant value nor do the
“names” of the clubs in which
she participated. What is of’value
to Cathy is the kind of person
she found herself becoming be
cause of the working part she
held in Salem’s community. Ca
thy hopes Salemites will reach
out and take from Salem all she
has to offer, in order to estab
lish a strong foundation for the
future.
Sarah Dorrier, a senior from
Winnsboro, South Carolina, con
fesses that she has done a little
bit of everything here at Salem -
from sitting in a pot for Pierettes
to mopping up the bathroom
floor as house president of Bab
cock. She has participated in stu
dent government from almost
every angle - committees, inter
dorm council, and leg board.
She’s still writing for the Salem-
ite, and even studying a little
bit! One of her more exciting es
capades was the summer she
spent in Oslo, Norway on the
Hattie Strong Scholarship. She
has a passion for history and
English, and is also beginning to
be paranoid about graduation.
For Sarah, Salem is many things,
but mostly it’s people.
Sarah’s roommate, Catherine
Cooper, states that her general
attitude while at Salem has been
never to miss anything. Her re
cord of participation confirms
this personal attitude. Catherine
became active her freshman year
as co-chairman of Founder’s Day
and hasn’t quit since, presently
being the chairman of Honor
Who's Who honorees include Jeanie Dorsey, Cathy Gazes, Anna Moore Butzner, Sarah Dorrier, Lisa
Herron, Scottie Newell, Allison Towne, Catherine Cooper, and Jennie Snead. Not pictured are Jan
Shivel and Christina Spence.
Council. In between official
meetings and trying to keep up
with studies, she stuck her nose
into just about everything and
wouldn’t take anything for the
experiences that came her way
as a result. She’s had an inside
view of the “infamous” Pied
mont Lecture Series, the Easter
sunrise service, the Winston-Sa
lem Symphony, Wake Forest
classes, most of the antiwar dem
onstrations on campus and in
Winston, and has probably been
in 95% of the movies and res
taurants in town. It’s hard for
her to pinpoint what she en
joyed the most other than the
quiet, free atmosphere of Salem
that made it possible for her to
try her wings in a number of
ways.
Scottie Newell comments
that as long as she has been at
Salem she feels she has been a
secretary - referring of course to
the positions held in her soph
omore class and later in Student
Government. Her only attempt
at being a treasurer came her
freshman year, but that she
states was before anyone knew
she hated math. During those
days of keeping the “minutes”
Scottie changed her major three
times from French to Sociology
to Art; however, now she con
cedes she is happy! This year,
Scottie works at the Alumnae
office, studies and attends
classes, eats ice cream, and oc
casionally finds time to com
plete a quilt she began last Jan
uary. As far as being on Who’s
Who, Scottie expresses much
surprise and feels highly hon
ored.
Allison Towne is a history
major from Lakeland, Florida.
While at Salem, she has been
actively involved with important
student-faculty committees - at
tempting to get better assembly
speakers as well as more enter
taining facilities for the student
center. Like Sarah, Allison
counts her experiences in Oslo,
Norway as one of the most ex
citing events related to Salem.
Besides an enthusiasm for his
tory, Allison is a big sports fan
and sports participator. She has
served on WRA and is known
among tennis players on campus
to be a strong, fast-playing op
ponent. She is also the colum
nist who keeps us up on the
ACC through her weekly articles
in the Salemite. Allison shares
the excitement of the other girls
in her selection for Who’s Who.
Jennie Snead hails from Cul
peper, Virginia and possesses the
remarkable record of being Cle-
well dorm president for two con
secutive years. Besides serving on
Interdorm Council in her capaci
ty as dorm chief, Jennie also
served on the Academic and
Honor Councils. Between study
time and attending the meetings
of the councils, Jennie enjoys a
good hand of bridge. She feels
honored to have been chosen to

represent Salem among other
colleges and universities through
out America.
Christina Spence describes
herself as a Charlotte girl who
has made it through three years
at Salem C. and is determinedly
attacking the fourth. She states
that her three years here have
been full of surprises - one of
which is having been selected
for Who’s Who. Surprises before
this one, she commented, came
with elections —first becoming
Interdorm Council Chairman her
junior year and then being elec
ted Student Government Presi
dent. Christina feels she has had
too many good surprises, but ad
mits she would not trade them
for anything. Her future plans
are very sketchy; however, she
hopes to do graduate work in art
history, her major at Salem.
Anna Moore Butzner is a
talkative history major who is
currently serving as president of
the recently renamed Salem For
um. Anna Moore has always
been involved with history in
one way or another having been
a delegate to the Model U.N. and
a “behind-the-scenes” planner
for the mini-symposium “Wom
en in Politics.” But, Anna
Moore will probably be best re
membered for her fine job as co-
chairman of the Help fund her
sophomore year. Of all her ex
periences, she found this job the
most gratifying because its suc
cess reflected the generosity of
Salem’s students and faculty.
For Anna Moore it is the people
at Salem who are the major
source of her joyful four years.
Anna Moore sums up her feel
ings towards Salem in comment
ing - “Gee I’m glad 1 chose Sa
lem.” She probably speaks for
all the seniors in that one simply
expressed statement.
Petite Jan Shivel hails from
Williamsburg, Virginia. Editor of
“Incunabula”, Jan was last
year’s April Arts president, and
former Chairwoman of the soph
omore Christmas banquet. Eng
lish, art, and Davidson occupy
most of her time these days.
