7 4e 2.44iU Pen. Presented by the Students of SALEM ACADEMY Winston-Salem, Xorth Carolina 1948 9ALEM COLLEGE LIBRARY • LICE was beginning to get very tired of sitting on the bank and of having nothing to do; once or twice she had peeped into the picture book lying by her side, but it had no pictures or conversation in it, and what is the use of a book, thought Ahce, wathout pictures or conversations. From ' ' Ahce-in- Vonderland by Lewis Carroll 2 In Dedication . . . The members of the Quill Pen Staff of 1948 in appreciation and love dedicate this annual to our principal. Miss Mary A. Wea er, who tirelessly and unselfishly- has dedicated so much of her time to the needs and guidance of her Salem girls. She has helped us not only with our academic problems, but also with the many problems that go hand in hand with growing up. No matter what we undertake, we know Miss Weaver is behind us and is counting on us to do our best. She is interested in each one of us, in what we do, and in what we are; and e ery girl who comes to Salem is a little better for ha ' ing known her. 4 Administration . . . HOWARD E.

And look into my heart for what this place has been. I have chosen a spot not my own, Except as it binds all those who ' ve known That they can go a little away and find in their hearts That Salem has put there her loveliest parts. I have come to a place where the woods and sky, And hill and stream that flows near hy Take far away confusion and trial. And give to me now a tear and a smile. A tear for the sad part, the going away — A smile for the good I take with me toda Lyn Cliapin 42 Class History Alice could not have been more amazed in Wonderland than were the nine little Fresh- men who entered Salem Academy in 1944. We arrived from many parts of the country on that memorable day, and since then the Freshmen have grown into Seniors. ' e are no longer amazed, but are now at home within this school that will always have a place in our memories. At the first freshman class meeting we elected Pat Chambers president of our class, Elinor Robinson, vice-president, and Lyn Chapin, secretary-treasurer. Our main pro- ject was a carnival, w hich featured a horror house, a fortune teller, and a fish pond. Most of the proceeds went to the World Student Service Fund. Miss Shriver was appointed our faculty advisor for the ear. Our Sophomore ranks were swelled with many new girls who joined us to make a bigger and better class. At the first Sopho- more Class meeting, Carma Lindsa} ' was elected president, Pat Chambers, vice-presi- dent, I.yn Chapin, secretary, and Nancy Bryan, treasurer. Our first project was Stuffy ' s Tavern. We all displayed our talents in the floor show while our customers enjoyed the excellent food, a spaghetti dinner. In the spring we presented another carnival w hich we tried to make even better than the one we gave our first year. Of course the climax of the year was the Sopho- more Tea Dance given on the afternoon of the Junior-Senior. During the three weeks preceding the dance we conducted a beauty contest, and at the dance we presented to the winner a bouquet of red roses. As in the preceding year we gave most of our money to the World Student Service Fund. Our Junior year was an eventful one, be- ginning with the first class meeting at which we elected Kitty Currie, president, Lucy Baumann, vice-president, Tappy Bruff, sec- retary, and Betty Rankin, treasurer. All our efforts were directed towards giving a wonderful Junior-Senior. Our first project was a fashion show, sponsored by Montaldo ' s, and we were the lucky models. For Val- entine ' s Day we attempted a barn dance and asked the town boys as dates. Our gay decorations lent a festive atmosphere to the evening ' s entertainment. To help along our budget we also sold food at the athletic games, tip-ons, and purple and gold school pins. The theme for our Junior-Senior was Dancing in the Dark . Phosphorous notes, stars, and a beautiful silver moon gave the appear- ance of a summer night. To the tune of A Pretty Girl is like a Melody the Seniors with their escorts walked between two silhouettes for the lead-out. Our Senior Year has been the best of all. It seems only yesterday that we were stand- ing at the portals of our Freshman year. Under the able leadership of Nancy Bryan as president, Pat Pannill as vice-president, Ann Harris as secretary, and Barbara Margolis as treasurer we gave the annual Christmas Bazaar with great success. Book Week we joined with the Junior class in giving The American Past to the library. As a minor project we presented Mr. B. C. Dunford, pianist, in a program of popular music. Again the Junior-Senior was one of the high spots on our calendar, but this time it was the class of ' 48 that paraded down the gym to A Pretty Girl is like a Melody . There remains only commencement with both its joys and sorrows to bring our four years at Salem to an end, and in closing we would like to thank our sponsor, Miss Laura Sumner, for helping to make our Senior year the very best.

(Signed) The Class of 1948 M. RV A. Weaver, Principal L VR. Sumner, Sponsor Wtt}7esses Betty Rax kin Carol .Augur Testators 44 Prophecy It is the summer of 1955, and we are on the beach in front of our jointly owned cottage in Maine. Mary Lou and I have iust begun a long vacation to renew our suntans after a hard ear ' s work in the city, and I have decided that the hospital will iust have to do without Martha Anne Harper for the summer months. L ing here, reading our mail, we discover a letter from Mrs. Bill Moore (nee Anita Martin) inviting us to visit her for a few days in Ft. Pierce. We then decide to map out a trip which will enable us to see all our classmates of ' 48. Finally after days of packing and plan making we find ourselves in our new ' 55 Chevrolet convertible headed towards Xorwalk with the intention of seeing Peggy Swartz. We get there just in time to see Peggy off on her first voyage across Long Island Sound in her new 3 ' acht. After making good time driving we reach New York in time to have dinner with Barbara Margolis who is snopping there for new fall clothes for Margolis Broth- ers. Then we go to Radio City to see the preview showing of Road to Grandiure co-starring Mary Helen Bruff and Bing Crosby. We spend the next evening in Annapolis visiting Betty Rankin and Bob. They tell us Sail has written that Gene has finally decided to accept the appoint- ment to West Point instead of the one to Annapolis. The next day in Richmond we meet Dr. N. L. Fleshman wearing her newest ballerina skirt just received from Paris. She gives us directions for driving to Martinsville where we attend the inaugura- tion of Miss Pat Pannill as president of the Pannill L ' nderwear Co. Our next stop is halfway between Leaksville and Reidsville at the home of the Pot Burtons where we enjo) seeing Carma ' s littler Pot. Driving farther South we find ourselves at the Albemarle Drug with Attorney ' Shirley Smith who is taking tin.e out between court cases to have a coke. It seems now that our days are fuller just because our North Carolina classmates live so close to eacn other. Before we realize it, we are in Concord visiting Barbara Fisher. She says that she and Jack are still just friends, but we know that it must be more than a mere friend- ship because she now wears a diamond as well as his frat pin. Leaving Concord we decide to make our next stop, which is at Shockey ' s at Lexington, a short one because we want to get to Winston-Salem, our old stomping ground, in time to spend the night. It is a good thing that we didn ' t plan to visit Carol long for she and her husband are busy writing a new advertise- ment which is to be printed in Life . We are so glad that we don ' t have to stay at the hotel, for Lass has invited us to spend the night at her new house which has just been completed. She threatens, however, to get us up for an early breakfast so she can go foxhunting at Sedgefield. This is not really such a hardship as we plan to wake early any- way to visit some of our other classmates who are in town. The next morning we rush excitedly to Montal- do ' s to see Ann Harris who is modeling during the summer while Dick finishes school. They are planning an early fall wedding. After having a quick lunch at Morris Service we call on Jeannette at her office in the Baptist Church where she is youth director. Her recent visit with Maria and Phil in La Grange must have been exciting, and the trip back, too, for she seems to be madl) ' in love with a sailor she met on the train. Realizing Greensboro is off our route, we call Nancy to be sure she is at home before we go over there. After Mrs. Bryan tells us that Nancy is spending the weekend at Carolina visiting Little, who is now working on his Phd., we are glad we saved that much time. Out last visit before leaving Winston is with the Philip Hanes family. Lynn is ver - happy and as a hobby she is writing jingles for the Hanes ' hosiery advertisements. On our way to Knoxville we stop off in Lenoir to call on Lucy who is still faithful to the old home town. How surprised we are to find the famous song writer, Kitty Currie, visiting her. At a tea given by Lucy for Kitt}- we see Phyllis Guigou, who is taking an after- noon off from writing her thesis on Waldenians. We can ' t turn down the offer to stay overnight and hear Kitty ' s concert, so we shall stop here and go on to Greenville and Knoxville tomorrow. The next da) ' we arrive in Greenville and decide to visit Josephine for a while. She is now married to the man of her dreams who is the leading dentist in Greenville. Jo sa} s that he decided to become a dentist instead of teaching in a military school because she seemed to favor that profession. A few hours after leaving Greenville, Knoxville looms in sight. We have never seen any place like this, for it seems that we ' ve been driving for miles just on one street and haven ' t found house number yet. Well, believe it or not, we finally find ourselves sitting on the Baumann ' s sun porch drinking lemonade, and oh how wonderful it is to relax and listen to Lucy tell of her experiences as knitting teacher in the handicraft class at her old Alma Mater, U. T. Refusing to tell us our destination, she then shoves us into her car, and before we can make any wild guesses, in front of us we see the great Norris Lake. Just as our thoughts immediately turn to Carol Augur, L. B. points to a group of small boats on the side of which are the words, Augur and Hale, Sight-seeing Cruises. We then rush down to the water ' s edge where we see Carol and Nanc} ' Jane in a hurry to sail down to Morris- town. Afraid of interrupting their plans, we scurry- back to the car and head back to the chy again where we leave Lucy to go back to her knitting. The next few days are spend traveling very fast in order-to get to Ft. Pierce the day Nita is expecting us. Onl - one more exciting experience happens as we tra -el along and that is reading in an Atlanta paper that the famous opera star, Martha Denny, was there only the night before. This reporter writes that he himself saw her driving through town in her most prized possession, a new ' 55 Ford town and country. Today we awake in nice clean beds in Nita ' s house. She says Bill found us asleep in the car in front of the house. We know the trip was tiring, but we wouldn ' t have passed up the chance of seeing our Salem class- mates for any thing. M.
