Volume LVI Salem College, Winston-Salem, N. C. — Thursday, November 1, 1973 Number 6 Faculty and Senior Class Nominate Thirteen for Who’s Who Members of the class of ’74 find out Who’s Who. Kathy Bacon and Dee Wilson not pictured. Each fall the senior class nomi nates from 11 to 13 of its mem- i hers whom they feel are worthy candidates for Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universi- ■ ties. The senior class then selects one faculty member from each department to nominate those seniors they consider outstanding. Finally, the two lists of senior class nominations and faculty nominations are compiled and forwarded to the national head quarters in Alabama. For the academic year 1973-74, 13 seniors were approved by the national organization. These girls were chosen on the following criteria _ as suggested by the Who’s Who - organization; “The student’s scholarship; her participation and leader ship in academic and extra curricular activities; her citi zenship and service to the college; her promise of future usefulness.” This year’s recipients are: Kathy Bacon, Jeri Bounds, Mar garet Brinkley, Peggy Bullard, Mary Ann Campbell, Winn Currie, _ Becky Hewit, Leah Laine Mc- - Donald, Chris Minter, Averell Pharr, Susan Phillips, Dee Wilson and Nan Wilson. In resopnse to her nomination to Who’s Who, Kathy Bacon stated: “Since I’m happier when I’m busy, my full years at Salem suit me fine! While a member of the small ‘Gramley family’ Freshman year, I kept in contact with the rest of the campus by working with The Salemite. Hav ing been made a Hall President, I - started Sophomore year (as well ^ as Junior and Senior years) in a 3 grand way — as a member of ti the Orientation Committee. Orien tation is a good example of that personal, extra touch which Salem students give. I love try ing to share my feelings for Salem with the newcomers. Jun ior year involved the honors and responsibilities of being Chief Marshal. Assembly-Lecture Com mittee Junior year added another dimension to my Salem experi ences. This year I’m still in there plugging, in the most excit ing position of all — as Senior Class President. I am proud to represent the class, yet I must give credit to the class as a whole. Founder’s Day was an indication of what our class can do by working together and I am counting on more of such positive results from our great class. “Each year at Salem has brought new friends, new respon sibilities, and new opportunities and I wouldn’t trade a single year!” said Kathy. Jeri Bounds, Senior Class Sec retary, thought it to be most impossible to confine her thoughts of and feelings for Salem to one or two paragraphs. “At the risk of being overly ‘schmaltzy,’ I can honestly say that I regard Salem as the single most valuable and worthwhile experience of my life. I came knowing no one, un suspecting of any demands that would be made on me, and afraid of not finding a place for myself here. Little did I know that I would be facing my senior year with a deep ache in my very being for the people I won’t get to see so much of after this year, cherishing the stimulation of every challenge, and feeling rea sonably good about the person I have become.” “When asked to describe Salem, the 600 students here would prob ably reply in 600 different ways and that is perhaps the essence of Salem College” to Margaret Brinkley, SGA Vice-President. “Within the common framework of a relatively small, liberal arts school for women, Salem is still able to offer a unique experience to any girl in school here. This is not to say that ‘Salem’ in its fullest sense will come to you with little or no effort on your part, but you must come to ‘Salem’ giving time and energy to realize whatever expectations you might have for her. I hon estly feel that Salem could ful fill most any girl’s expectations if that girl is willing to give to Salem as much as she expects to get from Salem. My four years here have proven to me that Salem can only be as ‘ideal’ as the ‘ideal’ in each of our minds!” According to Peggy Bullard, Orientation Committee Chairman: “Describing Salem to someone who has never experienced the life here is like trying to describe a family to someone who has never been a part of one. Salem’s sense of community, of caring about one another, is one of the things that has made Salem very special to me. Here I have tried to recognize each person as a unique individual, with unique ideas and goals. My growth in this direction was most enhanced by the experience I had in Oslo, Norway at the International Sum mer School. I could never fully express the impact this experi ence had on my personal and in- I can express my gratitude to Salem for making this opportun ity for growth possible. Through out the years ahead I think I will look back on these four years as one of the hardest working, but happiest, times of my life.” “It all started one night in Bab cock Terrace Room when I real ized that someone besides my roommate knew my name,” stated Mary Ann Campbell. “I had actually won Sophomore Class President! I vividly recall my feelings of complete shock and disbelief, accompanied by feelings of enthusiasm and excite ment at a chance to do something for the school and the class that had done so much for me. My sophomore year was made great by the people I had a chance to work with and to get to know better. Founder’s Day, FITS as a sophomore, our banquet for the seniors ... I saw each as an opportunity to unify our class and avoid the ‘sophomore slump.’ “Then came SGA Secretary . . . minutes, letters, meetings; but with the office came the chance to be on Executive Board. I be gan to see how crucial a strong student government is. My pres ent office. Honor Council Chair man, has been challenging and exciting. I’m new at it — and I depend on Averell a lot, but I feel that the honor tradition at Salem is the basis for all life here, and I’m very happy to have a part in working to maintain this honor tradition. “My hobbies? Music (voice) and needlepoint. Major? English with a teaching certificate in Early Childhood Education (K-3) and student teaching second grade at Clemmons Elementary School. Philosophy? The key to happiness at Salem is INVOLVE MENT!” said Mary Ann. “Overlooking the practical jokes, the methods for existing on minimal sleep, the last minute papers, the seasons and the people, to me Salem has meant personal growth (and I don’t mean in jean size!),” commented Winn Currie, IRS President. “Much to my surprise and tempo rary dismay, at some point of my college career, amidst escape from clubs, meetings and extra curricular responsibilities in gen eral, I became involved. But this participation, or rather the result of this involvement is perhaps the most valuable thing I have found at Salem (my apologies to the Art and Math departments). From the responsibilities and the re sulting work with various people, organizations and situations, I have gained a better understand ing of people and most important ... a confidence in myself and my ability to be independent in thought and action. “Salem is unique in its ability to offer many opportunities for involvement and leadership to girls and everyone should take advantage of this. Participation adds a new dimension,” Winn concluded. Becky Hewit’s “years at Salem have been a constant movement through the attitudes of bewilder ment and apathy toward those of love, respect and concern. Look ing back over the past years I ask myself how I have contrib uted to Salem College. I can only say that I have given a little of ideas with others. This seems so small in comparison with that which Salem has given to me. It is not only the knowledge, the friends, and the memories, but also tbe intangible concepts of love for Salem and concern for her future that have so much meaning for me.” Leah Laine McDonald thinks that there is something at Salem for everybody. “Perhaps I could never be a good SGA leader or newspaper editor, but Salem has other things to offer in opportuni ties to use what I can do best. As a pianist, I have played for Founder’s Day skit, accompan ied the choral ensemble, and be come active in the Archways, both accompanying and serving as leader. As a music education major, I serve as vice-president of Salem’s MENC chapter and participate in SNEA activities. I am looking forward to working on the Elections Committee this year, and I hope to have time to maintain the 3.0 for the Salem Scholarship. Salem needs people to do the little jobs as well as the big ones, and there is at least something that each person can enjoy doing to keep Salem’s stu dent activities vital and strong.” Chris Minter uses Dr. Gram- ley’s roller coaster analogy to describe her life at Salem. “There have been ups and downs and a few traumatic sharp turns. How ever, despite the rough times, which only served to keep life in teresting, I can say that my mem ories of Salem will always be hap py. Salem has much to offer her students, nevertheless, as with anything you cherish, in order to take from her you must give of yourself. It is my hope that when I leave Salem, I will have given her as much as she has given me.” Salem, after four years, is not just a school to Averell Pharr, SGA President, it’s a way of life. “I count myself extremely lucky in having had this experience, no matter how much I complain about the seeming non-existence of free time. When you’re happy, busy, and you’ve got your health — you’ve got just about every thing. You can take Averell out of Salem, but you can’t take Salem out of Averell.” Susan Phillips, former Junior Class President and member of the Order of the Scorpion, wrote the following about Salem: “Salem, by being . . . Salem, has probably meant the most to me — a place for being as well as becoming — a place for a person as the in dividual as well as a place for a person as part of a larger, sharing community.” Dee Wilson, an English major with a journalistic bent, describes her four years at Salem as a composite of various impressions. “Spending four years at Salem has meant learning everything from how to balance your check book, to ironing your own clothes, to being able to chug a beer, to acquiring a permanent seat in the library and study room (I think I’ll engrave one left-handed desk and leave it to the school), to making lasting friendships which mellow with age like an excellent wine, to talking with these friends into the wee hours of the night, to drinking progres sively more coffee each year, to tracking down newspaper stories like a blood hound on a fresh scent, to spending all your spare hours on the college newspaper trying to make it look like The New York Times, to being in volved in all aspects of campus life, to realizing who you are and why you are and thus grow ing like a tree — upward and branching outward in all different directions trying to reach every one and try everything before the four marvelous years run out and you haven’t even reached the sky yet.” Nan Wilson characterized her Salem life as four distinct years. “As a freshman — any college would have been great, but I thought Salem was the greatest. “As a sophomore — a college was a college, and I was at one of them. Salem was great, but so was Chapel Hill. “As a junior — I thought I’d made the right decision, but be cause we had lost many friends and gained many new ones, it, too, was a year of limbo. “But now that I’m a senior and approaching the edge of ‘growing up,’ there ain’t no doubt that Salem is some unique place! I even used a whole roll of film tak ing pictures of the campus last week. How nostalgic is that? Laugh if you wish. ... It happens to all Salem Seniors.” Library Joins IN-WATS tellectual development. However^^ mj^elf^mCTeJy^^y WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. The Dale H. Gramley Library has been granted access to the North Carolina State Library IN - WATS Information Service. IN - WATS (Inward Wide Area Telephone Service) began in 1968 to serve regional and county public libraries; in 1970 the serv ice was expanded to include col lege and university libraries as well. Member libraries may call the State Library toll-free for as sistance with reference questions and location of materials. Usual ly, information requested is sup plied the following day. Salem’s principle use of IN - WATS will be to identify locations of titles prior to requesting them through interlibrary loan. If the State Library owns the title, the book is mailed to the requesting library. In other cases, the State Library will relay title requests via TWX to the Interlibrary Cen ter Union Catalog at the Univer sity of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. The State Library will call location information back to the requesting library. This IN - WATS service is expected to re duce by at least two days the time required for interlibrary loan transactions. Membership in the IN - WATS Information Service will provide the Salem community with more effective library service and ex panded resources.
