1955 SALEM ACADEMY WINSTON-SALEM NORTH CAROLINA SALEM COLLEGE LIBRARY Wiaaton-Salta, Nortb Cualiaa Around the clock at Salem are many varied academic, athletic, and social events, which fill the hours from morning until night. We shall each take with us memories of the moments which most impressed us and which we most enjoyed. We shall never be able to relive these hours, but we can take with us the knowledge, high principles, and friendship we have gained at Salem.

This familiar phrase every night at bed- time has become as much a part of life at Salem as the cheerful smile and sincere desire to serve, of one of our most beloved advisors. Always within reach and always welcom- ing, she aids and gives us sound advice for our problems, whether they be personal or concerning school life. Patience, coupled with firmness when needed, is one of her most appre- ciated attriljutes. Her interest in Salem and all its students can only be equaled by our love and respect for her. To show our sincere feelings we wish to honor you. Miss Hodges, by dedicating to you this, our 1955 Quill Pen. PAGE 4 ADMINISTRATIOIV PACE 6 DALE H. GRAMLEY MARY A.

On this day they take over the responsibilities, as well as the privileges, of the faculty, and rule supreme through court that night. The main project for this class is the Senior Bazaar, which provides the largest source of income. In keeping with the Christmas season they sell Moravian stars and cookies. This money is used for a gift which is presented in the spring as a rememl)rance of the graduating class. Toward the closing of their final year the Seniors and their sponsor. Miss Nunn, entertain the faculty at the Senior- Faculty Breakfast. The Senior members of the Scribblers ' Club write the Class Day program, which is presented on the last day of school, and so brings to a close a year that will never be forgotten.

This seems to be the slogan of the Junior Class. They are eternally finding ways to enlarge their treasury in order to pay for the Junior- Senior. Keeping the Duck Inn, selling coffee, doughnuts, and pastries, giving movies and the spring fashion show, all help to increase this sum. The Yuletide Season does not escape the watchful eyes of the Juniors, for they encourage you to buy Christmas lists, cards, and paper. Under the guidance of Mrs. Prongay the Juniors finally reach their goal by giving a Junior-Senior dance which will remain in the memory of both classes. PAGE 24 PAGE 25 PAGE 26 PAGE 27 CLASS OFFICERS Sealed: Pal Sp no T, President; standing: Betty Carinichael, Vice-President; Mary Wiley, Treasurer; and Sue Buchanon, Secretary. SOPHOMORE CLASS At the very beginning of the year the sophomores realize they have little Time on their hands because of the various activities in which they participate during the year. The two movies and the talent show which they sponsor help fill out the social life of Salem Academy. The Juniors are more than glad to see Spring Vacation roll around, for this means that the Sophomores now take over the Duck Inn. With the help of Mrs. Blackwell this class starts planning early for the Sopho- more Tea Dance given in honor of the seniors. This affair, plus the crowning of the beauty queen, completes the Junior- Senior week-end. PAGE 29 SOPHOMORES PAGE 30 FRESHMAiN CLASS OFFICERS Seated: Linda Broyhill, President.

FRESH]I1A] CLASS At the first of the year some of us often wondered who raised and lowered the flag each day. Time soon told us that it was the faithful freshmen. The main goal toward which these girls strive is the carnival, given shortly after Christmas. Everyone looks forward to this class por- trayal of the traditional fun house. To sup plement this event and their treasury the Freshmen present a skit and an oc- casional movie during the year. The class sponsor, Miss Rawlins, is always there to lend a helping hand in these under- takings. MARY CAROLYN BOND Aiken, S. C. LINDA BROYHILL Hickory Road Lenoir, N. C.

WEAVER September 7, 1965 Thursday Dear Diary, As I sit down tonight to write about my busy day, memories flow back to me. and I see again the girls of the class of ' 55 receiving their diplom as on that glorious night of May 31, 1955. This morning as I stepped from my car, I saw several limousines drive around the goose egg. These cars bore the Hotel Robert E. Lee insignia, and much to my surprise the class of ' 55 most grace lully stepped out of the cars. The reason for their being present was the annual Opening Chapel and the opening of the annex to the Carrie Schaffner side of the building. These were the young ladies who donated the fund to furnish the art gallery where all our treasured portraits are to be kept. Each girl tried to return for this ceremony, and even though Bobbie Plummer and Priscilla Norris arrived only in time to finish the last stanza of Standing at the Portals. the class had one hundred per cent attendance. The first sound I heard was Marian Hutter screeching a hello to Margot Moore and saying, How are things up Nawth? 1 then heard Mar- got reply, Teaching school was fun. but ' crum. ' being a lawyer ' s wife is better. How is your mari- tal status? Well, this army life is quite unstable, but we are about to move into a penthouse on Riverside Drive, Marian answered. Clarke Fowler, who was the next person I saw, had a pencil behind one ear and sketches under her arm. She said she wanted Miss Wheeler ' s opinion on the new Harrison-type barns. As 1 was going down to chapel, 1 met Catherine Austin on the steps conversing in ten different languages. She seems to be wrapped up in her job as chief interpreter at the United Nations. Cathy Hyde and Sally Cochran were standing beside her. attired in fashionable dresses repre- senting the latest Paris creations. Although my French is rusty, I understood enough to find out that Cathy is now a top Paris model and that Sally has just received her M.R.S. at the Sor- bonne. Upon entering the social room 1 heard a familiar scream. It was Judy Morton greeting Flo Robinson. Judy had just seen Flo ' s medal for the Nobel prize in literature for her book My Experiences as Chief Advisor to the President. Judy was in turn telling Flo of her experiences after being elected Mother of the Year. Judy now has seven boys. At that moment chapel began, and I noticed the class sitting together. It is amazing how ten years will change a girl. The last person I noticed before Dr. Gramley welcomed everyone was Pat Upton. The latest news from Pat is her appoint- ment as lab technician at the new, ultra-modern medical center of doctors Ann Palmer and Anne Russ. Tibby Ferrell. who led the National Anthem at the Flag Raising ceremony, is now preparing for her Carnegie Hall debut in October. The girls are to be congratulated for their fine job; the ceremony was just lovely. PAGE 34 Before I had time to catch my breath, we were on our way to open the new wing. While joining the others for this portion of our opening exer- cises, I talked about latest fashions with Carolyn Garrison, who has just returned from a trip to gay Paree. The highlight of the ceremony came when the ribbon to the building was cut by Governor Eve Hoover. Eve is the first Republican governor North Carolina has elected in ninety-five years. The fast-talking lawyer turned to politics soon after she received her law degree from Duke. I joined the girls at the hotel for lunch only to hear more up-to-the-minute news. Van Lindley has joined the WAVES, and now she and her Admiral husband are preparing to command a huge fleet of carriers. Martha Wheeler showed me pictures of her three carrot-topped offsprings. I understand that each is a child prodigv. She said they had just had their flu shots from the favorite pediatrician of all Salemites. Dr. Sherry Lynn. Sallie Norton told us of her amazing trip to Europe and of her exciting marriage to Andre, the fulfillment of her life ' s ambition. Frankie Beman walked up to me just then to tell me of her recent killing on Wall Street. She says busi- ness life isn ' t as dull as it is made out to be. Ann Fulenwider came in radiating her viva- cious personality, which has made her the social leader of New York and Palm Beach. Ann said she enjoyed Joan Brooks ' performance in the New Haven opening of her new musical. Linda Brame told me good-bye in a rush since she is to play in Pinehurst in the Women ' s Open Golf Tournament tomorrow. Jenny Pavne left with her to meet Richard in Pinehurst, where he is attending the North Carolina-South Carolina Dental Meeting. I overheard Jane Kearns. Sallie Armfield, Mary Keith, and Gayle Cooper catching up on the latest personal news. Mary said that she and her husband are still at Fort Belvoir, where he is an instructor. Jane Kearns was telling them of the dinner-party she is planning with Jane Dun- can. They have both been married for five years. Gayle Cooper and Sallie were discussing their respective husbands ' positions at LI.N.C. Sallie ' s spouse is a successful line coach at Li.N.C. and Gayle ' s husband is building the new Zeta Psi fraternity house there. Mary Moore, the social butterfly of Knoxville, told Betty Harmon of the party she is planning for Betty who will attend the Southeast lawyers ' convention in Knoxville in November. I caught Priscilla Norris stepping into a cab bound for the airport and asked her to send us as soon as possi- ble the sketches for the art lecture she is giving here next month so they could be mounted. After I told Priscilla good-bye, there was a lump in my throat as 1 realized we would never relive the days of the class of ' 55 again. With sad feelings in my heart 1 came back to the Academy to finish straightening out new girls ' schedules. Isn ' t it funny how our dreams and ambitions sometimes come true?

Girls are chosen by their classmates for this honor on the basis of character, personality, and honorable conduct in all undertakings. Citizenship Honor girl s for the last four school years are listed below. 1950-1951 Margot Moore Ann Altvater Joanne Musgrave Elizabeth Christian Margaret Woolfolk Mary Louise Cornwell Ann Crenshaw Audrey Marie Pool Barrie Altvater Joanne Musgrave Barbara Foard Betty Tucker Joanne Musgrave 19.51-1952 Margaret Woolfolk Ann Altvater Barrie Altvater 19.3:1-1954 Barbara Foard Barrie Altvater Sally Hazen Martha Anne Bowlei Jane Moore Mary Jo Futrell PAGE 41 STlTDEi T COIJi CIL It is the duty of every Salem girl to uphold and follow the rules and regulations of Salem. To help and guide us along these lines, a Student Council is provided. It is composed of a President, one representative from each of the six halls, two Senior Coun- selors, and a day student representative. The Student Council meets once a week to discuss affairs concerning dormitory life. It tries to iron out any prohlems which have arisen, and to make new rules which it be- lieves are necessary and which will be beneficial to everyone. A Student Council member stands ready and willing to help any student in doubt or trouble. The Student Council sponsors an open- ing banquet, held at the beginning of the school year, and the Christmas banquet and servants ' party. At the close of each year Spirit Fire, an impressive candlelight serv- ice held in the dell, is given by the Student Council. At this time newly elected Stu- dent Council members take over for the coming year.

Second Row: Jane Duncan, Sallie Armfield, Ann Fulenwider, Tibby Ferrell, and Esther Booe. The honor system is the most valuable and treasured aspect of life at Salem. The Honor Council, composed of the President of the Student Government, two seniors, two jun- iors, one sophomore, one freshman, and a faculty advisor, is the exponent of the honor system. Every girl is on her personal honor to report herself to the Honor Council if she finds she has broken a rule. The Honor Council does not function to punish girls, but rather to try to help them understand the principle behind each rule. Usually meetings are held after light bell to discuss behavior unfitting to the honor system. It is through the personal integrity of each girl that our honor system is upheld. HONOR COIIXCIL PAGE 43 SPIRITUAL §TEERI! G WHEEL The spiritual atmosphere here at Salem Academy can be accredited to the Spiritual Steering Wheel, which sponsors the nightly devotions given by the girls on each hall, and Sunday vespers, as well as the Friday night devotions presented by members of the faculty in the social room. Wherever devotions are held the girls gather in their pajamas, carrying their favorite stuffed animal, to enjoy the rich benefits of these informal chats in God ' s presence. This year something new has been added, the tiny chapel, given by the generous parents of an Academy student, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Carmichael, and last year ' s Senior class. It was formally dedicated on October 10, 1954, by Dr. Ronthaler. Many hall devotions are held in the flickering candlelight of this small room with its rows of tiny pews. Also, a few moments spent alone in this quiet nook, away from the bustle of everyday routine, means very much to each girl here. Religious Emphasis Week is also pro- moted by the S.S.W. After Christmas vaca- tion the S.S.W. invites a noted speaker to bring his message to us each day in chapel and to chat informally throughout the day with the girls. The purpose of the S.S.W. is to inslill in each girl, through prayer, the faith so necessary after Salem days are long passed. HERE WE FIND THE DEVOTIONAL LEADERS OF SALEM IN THE TINY CHAPEL.

Attention! Do you often wander off into a different world — a world of fantasy? An outlet for your fanciful imagination may be found in the Scribbler ' s Club. This club, sponsored by Miss Nancy Fisk, is an organi- zation which encourages girls with talent in creative writing to express themselves. This is a very active club and requires a lot of work from its members. In early fall it gives its traditional party for the entire student body. It publishes two papers at different times in the year, Quill Pencil, which is devoted to creative writing, and Pencil Shavings, which reports current events of interest at Salem. Pencil Shavings is also sent out during the summer to spread news of old students ' vacation exploits and to welcome new stu- dents. Informal monthly meetings are held during which the members, while drinking coffee, plan and discuss their papers and exchange ideas about good creative writing. SCRIBBLER ' S CLUB PAGE 45 QriLL STAFF The purpose of the Quill Pen Staff, as of any annual staff, is to compile a book of pictures and explanatory articles which bring back old memories of school days. The editorial staff, led by editor-in-chief Sally Cochran, and the business staff, head- ed by its manager, Ann Fulenwider, attempt to produce and publish such a book through long hours of planning and work. While the editorial staff chooses the theme ( long kept secret), plans the dummy, arranges for the photography, and writes the copy, the busi- ness staff, in order to meet the all-important budget, solicits ads from Winston-Salem business firms, parents of Salemites, and other out-of-town prospects. The annual is dedicated and presented to the faculty and student body at the Senior Farewell Banquet in the spring. One spends a lot of time and work as a member of the Quill Pen Staff, but at the Farewell Banquet she gains the self-satis- faction of having helped complete a book of memories for every Salemite.

The Dramatics Club is a group of hard working young ladies who have established an important name for themselves, as well as a goal greatly desired by every girl who has a flair for drama. When a student has earned ten points by participating in plays or working on one of the many committees backstage, she is entitled to membership in the club. The privilege of membership entitles a student to attend the Little Theater productions. During the first semester the club gives three one-act plays under the direction of Miss Sheila Strunk. Lilliam, With the Help of Pierette, and Culture, which was given in-the-round, started the season off with a bang. At Christmas the Dramatics Club and the Glee Club collaborate in presenting the Christmas Program and later in the year, an operetta. It is also the custom to present one three-act play which is a highlight of second semester. Many hours of hard work go into the production of a play here at Salem. The actresses spend many hours of their free time learning and rehearsing lines, but here the girls who work unseen behind the stage are given their laurels also; thus, everyone who is interested has her chance to shine. DRAMATICS CLUB PAGE 47 GLEE CLIB With very few exceptions every girl at Salem makes Tuesday and Friday a red letter day on her calendar, for this is when the Glee Club meets. One needn ' t stand out in vocal ability to contribute to this aspiring group under the capable direction of Miss June Samson. Auditions are held at the ])eginning of the year for the triple quintet, which is composed of girls with exceptionally good voices. These girl present special numbers, and their first performances have done justice to Miss Samson ' s choice as well as to each member. The club ' s first public performances this year were as guests of the Home Moravian Church and as entertainment for the Pa- tron ' s Tea in November. The Glee Club works very hard on the Christmas Program and as a result gives a performance of high caliber. The Glee Club ' s main event, aside from the Christmas Program, is the operetta given during second semester. Along with the Dramatics Club the girls present a top- notch performance. Ending the year ' s commencement recital is the final function of the Club. Even though this means losing some of its mem- bers, the girls who are to return are fired with the enthusiasm which will make next year ' s Glee Club better than ever.

PACE la DAIVCE COMMITTEE It is the responsibility of the Dance Committee to plan the dance themes and to decorate to the fullest extent for the many dances held during the year with the exception of Junior- Senior. This is a hard task, but each girl appreciates their many efforts when she finds herself dancing to dreamy music and sur- rounded by the beautiful, enhancing decora- tions which bring out the all important theme. The Dance Committee works arduously and deserves a big hand of thanks.

Every member of the student body spends some time on one of the six committees that direct many phases of our school life here at Salem. These committees are headed by a com- mittee chairman whose duty it is to see that her committee carries out its aims and is well organized. The Service Committee is in charge of the Lost and Found sales, straightening classrooms, placing napkin rings, and acting as switch board messengers. The Social Com- mittee plans the birthday banquets, teas, and some Saturday night programs. The Good Will Committee sees that the girls in the in- firmary get their books and assignments, and that the kitchen rules are posted and observed. Arranging chapel programs is the duty of the Program Committee. The Community and World Service Committee collects contribu- tions for the World Service Fund and sponsors the adoption of a foster daughter. The aim of the Standards Committee is to keep the stand- ards of the individual students and of the school as a whole on a high level. COMMITTEE CIIAIRMEIV PAGE 49 ATHLETICS Throughout the year shouts of Go Pur- ples! and Come on Golds! can be heard ringing over the campus, for athletics play a large role in the life of every Salem girl. The drawing of names for the Purple and Gold teams during the first week of school is the start of all athletic activities, and the presentation of awards and the coveted team cup ends them. Between these two events a variety of sports is offered here at Salem, both in- dividual and team sports. Sportsmanship is always stressed and teamwork is valued highly. Under the leadership of Mrs. Pron- gay, the director, and Linda Brame and Ann Palmer, heads of the Purple and Gold teams, spirit runs high throughout the year and all sports are equally important. In early fall swimming, tennis, and volley ball are offered. Next come soccer and hockey, then the basketball and speedball season. Spring is soon upon us, and with it come golf and Softball. Many other sports are brought in throughout the year. Each girl has a personal goal to reach, as letters are given to all who accumulate three hundred and fifty points in the various sports by the end of the year. At the same time each girl works with the other members of her team to gain the most points for the cup. Yes, athletics are important here at Salem; in addition to helping the girls improve their abilities, ideals are gained by this program which will never leave us in life. TEAM HEADS YOU CAN ' T GET THE TROPHY FOR THE GOLDS THAT WAY, ANN. At the left is Ann Palmer, Head of Golds, with Linda Brame, Head of Purples at the right.

ISot Pictured: Cathy Hyde. The Athletic Council is the governing body for all athletic activities at Salem. It is composed of the heads of the Purples and Golds, Linda Brame and Ann Palmer, and fourteen girls who are the heads of the major and individual sports. The athletics ' instructor, Mrs. Prongay, sponsors the Athletic Council and its activities. In the fall and spring morning walks are sponsored by this body, and throughout the year various team games and tournaments are held. In these activities fine sportsman- ship is shown, and team spirit runs high. Among the highlights of the school year are the Athletic Banquets given at the end of each sport season. However, the very top moment is Recognition Day. The awards for the year are then pre- sented by the heads of the Purple and Gold teams, and the coveted cup is awarded. These presentations have become symbols of many hours of both work and fun, and happy is the girl who receives an award, whether it be a Freshman letter or a Senior loving cup. The Athletic Council makes decisions which it hopes will lead to many happy hours for every Salem girl, and its work is rarely in vain.
