Seniors Leave Last
I, Liza Abernethy, being of sound body'
and mind do hereby leave to my three
great little sisters Mindy, Katherine, and
Paige the ability to be a great big sister
next year and hope you have little sisters
as special as you. To Mindy McLarty, I
leave two of your greatest years at Salem
and frequent visits to the DKE house at
Wake to visit J.P. next year. To Ashley
Pruitt, I leave my credit cards for next
Spring Break and all of my babysitting
jobs. To Mary McLarty, 1 leave a new
walking buddy. I will miss my walking
buddy. To Brahan Lauffer, good luck on '
your senior seminar. To Strat Newitt,
good luck with all your meetings. And to '
all the girls at Salem, enjoy it while you
can, the years pass too fast. '
I, Beth Barksdale, without sound, do
hereby bequeath all laughter to those who
remain in the silence of this institution.
And to those who are sound, may you
hear the echoes of your own voice and
laugh at the cracks foretelling a new age.
To my feathered friend T., 1 leave behind
my infinite struggles, for if "the beast from
hell" has not devestated her path, then
surely her "wings" shall prevail. To
Marmalade, a cousin of Duke, I bequeath
life's tangy flavor, though one should
ultimately develop a taste of one’s own, if
subsisting on booty mone, she may one
day desire the fruitful orange. To Lisa
Phelps 1 leave my green thumb and wish
for her car a blossoming future. To my
"good-buddies" and "twin" the namesake
is yours (honorable as it is) to carry on the
parental units would be proud. To
"madam" I offer my chin, though not as
prominent as her own, and hope that her
nose never surpasses that which staked
her fame. And finally, to Salem's most
wanted in SGA, Stratford Newitt, who was
received by Clewell as its youngest mole, I
endow all of my infamous resources to
"drain Salem for all she’s worth" and hope
her endeavors will be less renowned.
Davies, I leave all of my male problems,
and that you may have as many males as
I do at one time. To Betsy Gianini, I leave
all of my wild times at Davidson, and
hopefully next year you will go on to other
colleges so that you won't get your picture
plastered on the wall of a fraternity. To
Katy Glenn, I leave all my Greenville boys,
except one. To the next Loony Lana
Lunar, keep your head in the stars, a six
pack at your side, and the spirit of The
Salemite going. To all the seniors next
year for when you go out, do not forget
about the beer cards at Spring Garden.
To all my friends I leave four years of
memories that will stay in our hearts
forever. Thft road has been rocky at
times, and the weather not always
favorable for driving, but we all have
managed to rise above, change, some
turning away from us and some becoming
better than ^fore. And to my three best
friends, Katie, Sarah, and Michele: the
family picture has changed since our
freshmen year. We've run away from
each other, but always come back
knowing that a "lifetime's not too long to
live as friends." I also leave you a life
coupon of free weekends at the beach to
leave the rest of the world behind. To
Kenan, even though she’s not here, and
even though we had our disagreements, I
wish you could be here in these final days.
(especially room #5), a Jumbo size Mr.
Clean, Flip Flops for the shower, a large
trap for the cougar in the attic, and most
importantly, the spirit of sisterhood that
binds us together!
