cabinet-maker named Van Zevely,
the oldest home in Winston-Salem
outside of Old Salem, approaches
its final stages of restoration.

the corner of Fourth Street and
Summit Street, only two miles
away from its original foundation.
Van Zevely’s home has been con
verted into a restaurant.
Mr. Smitherman, the manager
of the Zevely House, says that the
restaurant is a cross between the
Salem Tavern, P. J. Clark’s of
New York City, and an Austrian
coffee house. It resembles the
Salem Tavern in its outward ap
pearance, decor, and its Moravian
influence. It will offer the high
quality of steaks that P. J. Clark’s
does, and will serve coffee and
beer throughout the day as an
Austrian coffee house does.

Lynn Knox
An EXCLUSIVE interview from
your reporter on the scene, Lynn
Knox, talking to “Michel” of
Michel and Angelo—alias M. K.
Johnston and Stallings.
Editors’ note: M . Johnston and
Ms. Stallings finally revealed that
they were the culpits who sketch
ed the amazing Miltonic tableau
of Salem College faculty which
caused such a sensation on May
Day. Below is Ms. Johnston’s ac
count of its genesis.
“It all started at a typical Sale-
mite study session which means
we weren’t doing “beans”. After
pondering the domain of f(a) and
for as long as my companion
could take Wordsworth, I then
sketched a “nurdy” little man
on my notebook. My artistic friend
“Angelo” added a pair of glasses
and we had none other than Bob
Wendt. Having been influenced
earlier by Milton’s Paradise Lost,
my friend and I conceived the ul
timate allegory! What could be
more of a paradise than Salem
College! ! !”
“God (Chandler) was a natural
and some of the other characters
just fell into place. The team of
Michel and Angelo would like to
emphasize that we aren’t out to
get anybody, even if some of the
associations seem to be apt. Our
very favorite character as well as
our very favorite person is Som
merville Superstar. Mephistophi-
les (Bourquin) and Archimago
(Meehan) are also high on our
list as well as the entire crowd
on Arnie’s Ark.”
“Our thanks to Adam and Eve
for this whole race of epic per
sonalities. In our hearts we know
they all belong in heaven but
there just wasn’t room!”
