' y ™f The clas.s of 1950 feels a particular pride in the career of Dr. Gramlev as president. We started as seniors; he started as a freshman. But we have watched with admi- ration while he went through his orientation. Dr. Gramley quickly made a place in the city and on the campus. The city has learned to know him through speeches the alumnae through visits, the faculty through his handling of administrative problems. But, the students know Dr. Gramley as a personal friend. With a sched- ule of duties that would overwhelm inost men, Dr. Gramley still finds time to meet weekly with the Salemite staff or to chat with a freshman on the steps of Main Hall. Yet he fits in an occasional game of baseball on the hockey field with his four sons. In appreciation for his services to us and with confidence in his future at Salem, we dedicate this fjook to Dr. Gramlev. BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1 iiK RiGin Re ' I Dr. Agnkw H. Bahnson Mrs. Agnew H.

From Opening Chapel un- til graduation we ha c selected the highlights of the year. Each student has her own memories; but. perhaps, in the years to come this book will refresh for the Salemite the excitement of donning her cap and gown for the first time, the confusion of Rat Week, the thrill of the orchid for the Junior- Senior, or the hilarity of the faculty play. In the beginning, the formal open- ing creates within us a proudness for Salem traditions. Soon, we enter with high expectation our respective classes in Main Hall. Vet, life in our community is not purely academic. During the first few weeks the whis- pers and plans in Clewell Dormitory signify that Rat Week is not far away. But, when Sophomore Court ends the trial, the new students have met the old. It was fun! Next on our calender is the initi- ation of social afTairs, the Stee Gee dance. November brings the busy- era for the Sights .and Insights Staff . . . rushing to meet deadlines. The Candlelight Service ushers in the true spirit of (Ihirstmas. During the liusy weeks prior to our holidays, the I. R. S. Dance and Choral Ensemble Concert are otlu ' r features. The Salemite Staff starts off the new decade with its usual efficiency . . . presenting us the exam .schedule. Our Religious Emphasis Week, spon- ored Ijy the V, helps each of us to start the new semester on the right foot realizing how closely our academ- ic and cultural studies are correlated. Buffing the winds of March, the Day Students and Men Students carry on while the Presidents ' Forum, leaders of the campus, anticipates the instal- lation service of their successors. April brings flowers . . . yes, orchids for the Junior-Senior. With the end of the year in sight we feverishly crain in the May Day celeliration of beauty, the A. A. ' s banquet and its recognition of athletic skill, and every Senior ' s dream . . . Senior dinner, baccalaureate, and grad- uation. . nd so it went all through the year until the last tear was shed and caps and gowns were packed away in prep- aration for the class of 1951.  rA ' , .■ ' ■ -4 , •• I r- F ' - tN ' • ' .

It iJii HilS x ' ■ IL li m SEPTEMBKR Standing at the Portal of the opening year The lines forming in front of Main Hall meant that it was time to discard the summer ' s frivolity and accept the responsil)ilities of our academic career. At eleven o ' clock the academic pro- cessional marched up the steps of Memorial Hall with the Senior class followins;. In the auditorium the un- derclassmen, alumnae, and friends were standing, and all joined in sing- in? Standing At The Portal. Salem had opened formally its 177th session! Silence and dignity overcame the audience as the program began with Reverend R. Gordon Spaugh read- ing the Scripture, and Reverend Edwin A. Sawyer offering the prayer. This was followed by Bishop J. Kenneth Pfohl ' s greeting. The keynote sounded as Dr. Dale H. Gramley presented his talk, With- in the Portals of a New Year. These words inspired the assembly: That if I catch even the slightest indication of what Salem has been, what she is now, and what all of her faculty and friends want her to be, I would say that Salem will continue to be a fixed spot on the map where bricks and mortar, trees and flowers. and most important of all, men and women are joined together in dedica- tion to the ideal of enriching human mind and spirit. . . . I would sav. if 1 catch just a touch of what Salem has stood for in 177 long and troubled years of American life, that she will continue her devotion to the challenge of helping lift young people to their full human stature. . . . I would say that Salem will continue to spread through the young people she sends forth, a regard for the dignity of all men, a .sense of the responsibility of citizenship for freedom of the mind and spirit. . fter oiu- new president ' s address, Miss Ivy M. Hixson, the academic dean, listed the class honors and the Dean ' s List. . s in previous years, the President of Student Government. Lou- ise Stacy, read the traditional tele- grams from the graduates of past years. From the former president of Student Government, Nell Penn Watt, we received the amusing note. . . . Baby, it ' s cold outside! We espe- cially appreciated the remembrance from Dr. Rond and his first lady who wished us Best of luck! Dr. ' ardell began The Priest ' s March, and the recessional filed out of Opening Ghapel. . . . Now, the true beginning of Salem life. 13 Ol-FICF.S OF ADMINISTRATION Ivy M. Hixson.

SENIORS 1 here w.is moonlight on the campus that night wc tossed our caps of frivol- ity into the bonfire f)efnre us. This was the nionu-nt thai the caps of knowledge were placed upon our heads. At last ... the long black robes were the symbol that we were Seniors! Last night, after a busy day of un- packing our own cars, we, as Senior Advisers, fell exhausted into bed around 2:00 A.M. The reality of our whole class li int; in Bitting overwhelmed us. Tomorrow is the beginning of Ori- entation Week which recalls to us remembrances of our own helter skel- ter existence during the first few days of school. At the end of the week we trudge wearily up the steps of Memorial Hall, down the endless aisle to the front rows where we are to sit during chapel for this our last year. With deadlines to meet and duties to fulfill, we are more conscious of our responsibilities as heads of organi- zations. We think mainly of the future and what lies beyond May. The familiar chatter in the basement per- tains to the question, What are your plans for next year? . . . It ' s six o ' clock. We rush to the dining room to lake our places as hostesses at the ends of the tables. How many want coffee? Can we have seconds in meat? The short walk back to the basement of Bitting after supper is spent thinking aliout our last hand of bridge before the drudgery of the evening begins. Finishing our cigarette, we hurry past Nfiss Reed ' s open door, up the stairs to get our books. But the odor of food, as we pass her door, makes us hesitate a moment and realize that a party has been planned for 11:00 P.M. It seems that tree and ivv planting has only been over a lew days . . . and now Christmas is here. At vespers the lighted Bayberry candles illuininate Memorial Hall with the glow of the morning star hanging overhead. Even tonight, as we put on our formals for the banquet, we can ' t realize that the year is passing so quickly. Tomorrow evening, our last before vacation, we sing familiar Christmas carols. First semester exams have come and gone . . . the memories of Junior- Senior still linger. Our blue books have Ijeen tossed into the blazing bonfire before us . . . our voices ring clearly . . . there is moonlight on the campus tonight. look: President, Lyn Marshall: N ' ice-President, . nn LinviUe; Secretary, Helen Kessler; Treasurer, Helen Creamer. Ladies (,?; taking off for a big weekend, . fter dinner jam session. 19 ■■ Seniors Sally Ann Borthwick, of Winsion- Sali-iii. is .ilw.n-i ;it ln-r hcst, always lu-lplul, always ready to take over a canipiis job. Sally Ann. as OfT-campus ice-President and leader of the day students, has contributed much to Salem life. A oice major, her ability stands out whether in Choral En- semble, extra-curricula, or just social- izing between classes. Jane Bowman, from Raleisjh, was with us just the first semester. We are used to seeine Jane, dressed in her chain- rang pajamas, talking on the phone. She lived in the School of Music after she had completed her freshman year at Southern Seminary. Remember how beautiful she looked those years on the May Court? Lucy Brewer, of Oxford, is one of our many Saint Mary ' s transfers in our Junior year. Being a science major, Lucy is usually seen coming from lab late in the afternoon. Her quiet nature and slow eastern North Carolina drawl will never be for- gotten by her classmates. Geraldine Brown, of Winston-Sal- em, will be remenil)ered for her witty remarks and that slow drawl. One of those busy music majors, Gerry was never too involved with half notes and scales, Choral Ensemble, or early morning chapel, to stop and liven up the Day .Students ' Center with her chatter. Eula Mae Cain, from Fayetteville, is usually seen on her way in or out with a man. One of her favorite remarks is I wonder what mv blind date will l)e like? Eula Mae, a public school music major, has an active spirit not only in sports hut in all class activities. Helen Creamer, from the South Carolina town of Florence, talks about Clemson during all of her spare time. When she is not taking a piano lesson, she can be found writing Walter that letter. Helen is an ardent worker in the V.W.C.A. of which she is Vice- President. She is one of those girls who can always be depended upon. Carol Ann Daniels, another Wins- ton-Saiemitc. has a laugh we ' ll not forget. Bitty has added to a major in economics and sociology. The .Span- ish Club and the job of a past repre- sentative to the I.R.S. This Senior is remembered for 1 am so confused or Just let me tell you. Carolyn Dunn, from Kinston, helps us to remcml)er our manners and con- duct because she ' s President of the 1.R..S. Carolyn, a frequent visitor to Carolina, is a Future Teacher of America. Her favorite is The Three Bears, which she teaches to her pupils. Her neat appearance and exceptional personality make her one of the favor- ites on campus. Betsy Evans, commonly known as Worm, came to us two years ago from Saint Mary ' s. A Future Teacher from Enfield, Betsy is another traveler to Chapel Hill to see her current one and only. Besides being Maid-of- Honor, she knits argyles, does her nails, and finds time to work for the I.R.S. ♦— « LOOK.! ■iru rait, t ' jt to Tight: Sally . nn Borthwick, Jane Bowman, Lucy Brewer.

Seniors Kenneth Fansler, oi inston-Sa- 1cm, rfci-i od Jn A.B. ck-giee with a major in voice and a minor in Eng- lish. We don ' t quite know what he ' ll do with all that knowledge of Shake- speare, but his music will help him in his huure church work or religious education and choir directins;. We will remember Ken ' s bow tie and m. c. in? during chapel. Lila Fretwell, ol Anderson, S. C, is t)etter known as tweet to her classmates. Her petite stature might make her one of the shortest meinbers of the class, but this does not limit her talents. Lila. a oice major, entertains the residents of Bitting with songs and the squeezing of an atomizer. John Gatewood is a liraxe man after surviving an English majors ' seminar for a year with eight women for company. John transferred to Salem from Piedmont College and Guilford summer school. We have always admired him for his strong convictions, and his ability to stick by them through any argument. Robert C. Gray, a major in So- ciology and Economics and a second major in History, has been President of the Men ' s Organization, a member of the Pierrettes, and the IRC. We have seen his good business .sense this year in his ability in keeping the Sa rmile ' s books balanced. Among Robert ' s outside interests we have heard about astronomy, railroads, na- xal science, and l runettes. Sara Hamrick, of Shelby, is found either dating Dave, her fiance, or practicing in Music Hall. A Public School Music Major, .Sara was House President of Sister ' s. This year, be- tween glances at her ring, she runs the Choral Ensemble. Polly Harrop, a mountain girl from Charleston, W. ' a., is planning our May Day for this year. During her Junior year, Polly was President of the Modern Dance Club. Holding C.lass Honors for all four years, she became a member of the Honor Society last year. She repeats each hour. Pray for a stuinv May Day. Laura Harvey, anothi-r gal from Kinston, is a Primary Education Major. Her blonde hair matches her yellow Chevrolet convertible in which she spends most of her time going to and from Chapel Hill. Other things that we will never forget about Laura are her way of saying, Listen yawl, and her distinctive walk. Frances Home, our cosmopolitan menil)er of llie class from Lake Mara- caibo, enezuela, has traveled from Rocky Mount to N ' enezuela to Europe and back again. A Music Major, Frances frequently gets so intense over her piano practicing that she forgets to come back to the dormitory. Mary Alice Hudson, our only Home Economics Major, is from Shel- by. She is a Future Teacher besides being in charge of the costumes for May Day. The dependable kind, Mary Alice has been in charge of two sucessful Gingham Taverns this year. An asset to our class in every way, Mary . ' Mice. LOOK! First roll, lefl to right: Kenneth Fansler, Lila Fretwell, John Gatewood.

To us shi- is known as Masijic and if wc ever want a companion to sit up nights sho will be there workini; on her Economics and Sociology major. Otherwise we know Maggie is partaking cf her two favorite pastimes, sleeping and jaunts to Chapel Hill. Mary Louise Huntley almist stumped us until we reuiemliered we call her Lou. Primary Education major from Wadesboro, she is fre- quently seen playing bridge or talking about the diet she will go on tomorrow, but we like her just as she is. An enthusiastic and dependable class sup- poiter — Lou. Mary Jane Hurt, of Charlotte, will be all set lo teach ])ui)lic school music upon graduation. ■•Shancy, a mem- ber of the Order of the Scorpion since her Junior year, was also a marshal and House Preydent of Clewell. An all around sport in everything is our Mary Jane. Frances Isbell, of Greenville, S. C, is another transfer and another Future Teacher, but not just another girl. For she is one of the happy-go-lucky members of our class who is always ready to go; wheth-r it b; a trip to Chapel Hill in the middle of the week or a swim off Pawleys Lsland in Janu- ary. Another male brain member of the Honor Society is Norman Jarrard of Winston-Salem. Norman has a double major in Math and English and a job as a student assistant in the Math department. We will remember his heated editorials in the Salnnile alwut his ideas on progressive education, unlimited cuts, popular courses and other pertinent subjects. Beverly Johnson, from Mayodan, will gu ■•.Ml the way with the AA and any other activity (academic or social) that needs a helping harid. Besides working on an EnsjHsh major Bcv is getting her teachers certificate. . member of the Order of the Scorpion and Honor Society, Bcv is interested in athletics and being a good teacher. If you knew Susie like we know Susie you ' d know it was impossible to tell all in a few brief words. From C ' .harlotte comes the other Miss John- SOn, Susan, as it appears on the roll. An English major, she spends her non-academic lime being the veep of the Stee Gee, working on her roommate ' s annual and giving ad- vice to the Chief Marshal. Another piano major of whom we see too little Ijccause she hibernates in Music Hall is Doris Keith from Raeford, N. C. Doris adds her oice to the Choral Ensemble and spetids her time at the piano — her major interest. She is also a Salem ile re- porter and an active member of the German clul). Presenting our House president of Bitting, Helen Kessler, from Jamaica, N. Y Besides making sure the doors are locked each night, Helen mmag.M to be ' ice-President of the AA, circu- lation manager of the Salemile, and to arrange pictures for the annual. She is getting her major in History and expects to spend next fall in Europe seeing all those places she studied about for four years. LOOK!

For Liz, who is an Eng- lish major from Towson, Md., is cry much in demand by all the campus organizations. Her writins; skill, dc- ]icnclahility, and good business head have convinced everyone that she is who they need to do their work — and a worker she is. A Yankee turned Rebel is Ruth Lenkoski from Springfield, Mass. If it hadn ' t been for our energetic Sociology and Economics major writ- ing her news column weekly, pro- moting the sale of Chesterfields, selling the New York Times, and lending a helping hand to the Y, many things would never have been accomplished. Ann Ehzabeth Linville, Winston- Salem, h.is been busy with many cam- pus activities. Education CUub, Judicial Board, May Day Committee. She is also N ' icc-President of the Senior cla.ss. Her major in Education will give her a teaching job — she hopes. From Reidsville comes our class giggler, Betty McBrayer. A Psychol- ogy and Education major, Betty Mac has found time to be active in the Pierrettes and on the Salemile. As President of the Y this year, she had plans for a varied program. Full of fun and laughs Betty Mac is the personification of the Golden Rule. Marilyn Marshall coming from Pleasant ille, . . Y. is President of the Senior class. Lyn, a Biology major is noted for her interest in football at Davidson. Her pleasing personality makes her one of the most popular seniors. |itterl)ugging is her specialty for entertainment. Dorothy Massey has the broadest accent .soiuh of the Masim-Dixon line. From Kinston, Dot can be found at all times in the catacombs putting her English major to use by editing the annual. Dot ' s dark beauty has deco- rated the May Court for three years besides Memorial Hall as a marshal. . ' ankee from Pliiladelphia, Pa., Constance Neamond has supposedly been at Bowman Gray this year com- pleting her B.S. degree, but week-ends have found her in Bitting. Connie, who managed to include the IRS, Lablings, hockey and basketball in her curriculum, also inade our lives miserable with unannounced fire drills when she was Fire Chief. A laugli in the smokehouse means Bernice Pierce is telling about her kindergarten teaching. As President of the Education Club and a Psychol- ogy and Education major, Bunnie plans to make teaching her future. But after seeing all the dates she has, we wonder ! ' . From Newport News, ' a., Bunnie ' s lively personality bright- ens up the dullest of days. Joan Carter Read, our newspaper girl, and a semi-Yankee from Chevy Chase, Md., is known for her boundless energy and her unlimited talents. Majoring in English, she is a bright spot in her classes, even on Monday mornings. A friend to all and a will- ing worker we know Salem couldn ' t be run without Joan.

Second row: Betty Mc- Ciinstance Neamond, Bernice Pierce, Joan Carter 27 T Seniors Dorothy Louise Redfern, of Wins- tnn- .ilrin, h.i L:i i.ii us a rare coni- biiialion of seriousness and silliness with her A.B. in Math. The LablinKs, German Cliil), Choral Ensemble and Legislative Board have kept her busy at Salem, but she ' s the girl who ' s always friendly, calm and there when fun is to be had. It wa.sn ' t lonsj after Carolyn Reid joined our class last year from Hollins that we discovered she was a witty girl. Grinning from ear to ear, Cacky always has something to say. . Biology major, she spends hours in lab. But Sundays find her taking many friends to her hoine in Winston- Salem for a family meal. She ' s not as small as M.T. This is our usual comment about Mary Turner Rule, our Navy Junior froni Pensacol.i. I lorida. M.T. is an- other History major. She transferred from Mt. X ' ernon and inhabits third floor Bitting and the catacomlis, where she lends a helpful giggle to the Salemite. Week-ends find her taking off for points north. With her Paris hats and unfailing energy, we expect many surprises from M.T. in the future. Our Georgia belle from Decatur is Love Ryder. The walking calculator machine. Love has been in the Honor Society since her Junior year. With looks and brains combined she will hear wedding bells this summer. Love ' s other talents include playing Honeysuckle Rose as we ' ve never heard it and saving the day as a basket- ball guard. Who kept the books straight for the Men ' s Organization and always has a new quote from the Henry Morgan Show; ' That ' s right, Robert Sawyer, a pianu major from Wins- ton-Salem. Boll ' s other likes include billiards, cold beer, the zither, and Gregorian Chants — a judicious mix- ture to say the least. .Vnoiher inhabitant of Music Hall is Betty Belle Sheppe, froin Martins- ville, Va. This voice major has divided her time between Davidson and the Pierrettes, of which she is President. Early Morning Chapel finds Betty Belle singing in the trio helping others to worship. One of Salem ' s most musical music majors is Sara Ann Slawter, of Win - ton-Salem. We ' ll remember her re- cital, black convertible, gaiety, and dry wit. Choral Ensemble, German CUub, and Early Morning Chapel haven ' t kept her too busy to be one of the clothes changingest Salemites we ' ve e er seen. Bangs, smudges of printer ' s ink on her face, a tall lithe body, the Salemite, are the things that we will always remember about Dale Smith. She blew in from that unpronoimcable town, Sylacauga, Ala. and has been sailing through her English and His- tory majors ever since. This year Dale edited twenty-eight issues of the Salemite. Next year she will be the Doctors wife with her husl:iand in Nashville. Joseph Smith, of Winston-Salem, another of om- Co-eds, whose articles for the Salemite on literature and the other fine arts will long be remembered. Joseph has a wealth of information about art and philosophy which he puts to good use in the men ' s sinoker. He is majoring in History. Second row: Love -■ LOOK!

Wesley likes Wagner, cold beer, magic, objects d ' ait and puns. .Ml of which ue ha e heard him on through the crack in the wall. We will always remeiuber Wes s quieting influence on those discussions in the Men ' s Lounge. . nother Fiuure Teacher is Mary Anne Spillman, from Wilmington. When M.uA . nne doesn ' t ha e her nose ill a C ' .hildren ' s Lit. book, she is writing that nightly letter to Jim, her Phi Kap at L ' .N.C. Mary Anne ' s giggles arc the one good cheering thing on blue Mondays — we will miss them. The leading lady of .Salem is Louise Stacy, of Lumberton. Louise started her Stee Gee training early in her college career and ended up as Madame President. Stacy, too, will be prepared to go out into the world to teach with her luajor in Education and Psychology, but it will be wedding bells in the earlv summer. One morr Future Teacher of Ameri- ca is Jean Starr who came to us from West Hartford, Conn. Jean is always hustling about with her lesson plans and units while we chatter. There were times when we wondered if she would ever get away from those long distance calls from way up in Yankee land. One whom we have missed since she donned her white uniform for Bowman Gray is Bonnie Sue stone- street, of Winston-SaleiH. With lier Biology Major she will get one of those coveted B.S. degrees. Her cam- pus activities include the German Club, and the Lai)lings, but she will most be rememix-red for being first janitor of the Hay Student ' s Center. Also transferring rrmii Saint Mary ' s two years ago is Sue Stowers, from Bluetield, W. ' a. For four years she has worked on her Education and Psychology Major. Ahcr classes on Saturday we .see Sue taking off for that Phi Delta House at Chapel Hill to be with Mike. Who will ever forget the night she came back to South Hall with that pin? An ambitious lad and a member of the Honor Society is Homer Sutton, of Winston-Salem. We have missed his profundity in class while he ' s l)een at Bowman Gray doing pre-med work. While on campus he was active in the German Club, Pierettes and the Men ' s Organization, A hearty laugh and Duke ' s gonna beat C;ar()lina introduces Ruth Van Hoy, an Economics and Sociology Major i ' rom Winston-.Salem.

The constant companion of Worm, Sadie splits her time between studying for her Education and Psychology Major and trips to Chapel Hill. Her orientation classes for the Freshmen gave her extra training for that teaching career, but we know that the Zete House and the Toddle House will always be Sadie ' s pet passions. , Biology Major, who likes to .ngue obscure points, is George Waynick, of Winston-Salem. One ofour married co-eds, George has had his troubles getting around the campus locating buildings like the Library or Memorial Hall, but he always gets there even- tually. His main wish is that the Ger- man language would follow rules more closely. That quiet, efficient girl who ' s al- ways dashing about doing odd jobs for the Education Club is Betty Jo Welch, of Winston-Salem. Getting an A.B. with a major in Education and Psychology, while practice teaching with a group of primary children, hasn ' t kept her from speaking Latin with the Latin Club or serving on the Y Cabinet.

De- flated egos . . . pleading for a sopho- more to smile on us. No wonder, with the requirements: carry a milk bottle containing candy, chewing gum, cigarettes; wear a sign stating our names and room numbers; use no hobbie pins or makeup; eat square meals prepared Ijy the Sophomores; and keep a solemn expression at all times. Rat Court finally came . . . meaning the end. The latest fashion was the shmoos outfit styled by the com- manders. It was a lovely creation consisting of a sheet draping balloons. . . the happy efl ' ect and the newest chapeau ... a cotton stocking covering the head. . t the court, the Freshmen were privileged to sit on the floor while the stern judges adorned in black robes and hoods sat on the stage of Old C:hapel. The new-comers were ordered to entertain . . . count the window panes in Main Hall, teach Dr. Gramley how to knit; eat peanut butter for two hours, count the drops of water in a bucket, and compose poems. Turn about is fair play, however; and ending the hectic night, the Sophomores entertained us with a party in Davy Jones. The liewilderment of Rat Week brought to mind the l)cwilderment of Orientation. How could so many things have been crowded into five short days? . . . placement tests, parties sponsored by the various organiza- tions on campus, handbook meetings, arranging schedules, and not to for- get — meeting all the Salemites, un- packing, and wondering what might be ahead ! But by the end of the second week, the new Salem girls were adjusted. Week-ends turned them from scholars into socialites. There were Salem- Davidson Day, the Stee-Gee dance, plus all the times at Chapel Hill, Duke. etc. Of course, there was the academic side . . . the book reports, term papers, six weeks tests . . . and checking on those grades. College life wasn ' t exactly as we had dreamed . . . we had to go to the library quite often. On November sixteenth we elected our officers. Marilyn Moore had been our chairman and she became our president. We became repre- sentatives to the Student Council, and to the other student groups on campus. We began to anticipate a wonderful four years at Salem. Our class got into the spirit of things! LOOK! ,.. „ ., Preparing fo. Rat Court. Keg.slenng fo. o.r firs. coUege class. Pres.den.

Should the theme be a spider ' s web or a Halloween Carni al? Alter much careful [ilan- ning — decoratins; the sym, filling out dance cards, pressing the dress — we realize that our first big project is underway. Somehow everything turns out better than expected. We survive the dance without any noticeable breakdowns; and before we know it, we ' re deep in the heart of something bigger and belter. The only remains of the Stee Gee dance are in the form of cruinpled dance cards tossed into neglected scrapbooks. Those bigger and better things which follow the Stee Gee dance are such undertakings as legislative plans and meetings, Freshman class elections, student body meetings once a month for open discussion, conferences in far away places, and elections in the spring. From .September to June and far into the summer, the Stee Gee is busy making plans for Orientation, spon- soring various projects, and holding many, many ineetings to discuss stu- dent proposals for better government. Thus, the Student Gosernment .Asso- ciation takes its place among student organizations in a ceaseless effort to inspire each of us toward self-im- provement, and to keep linn the heritage of Salem. Student Government means exactly what the name implies . . . govern- ment by the students. The student s receive valuable advice from the faculty and administration, but final decisions in all three branches of the govern- ment-executi e, legislative, and ju- dicial-remain in the hands of the students. We attribute our autonomy to a highly effective honor system, for only through a strong honor system can students be trained to govern themselves. The Student Government Associ- ation is our teacher and Salein is our training ground. We get an idea and we try it. If it fails, we try something else. The process teaches us to ac- cept responsibility and that is the purpose of student government. We are learning through self-government to become responsible members of our Salem community so that some day in the not too distant future we can take our places as citizens in our communities. l.tJOK!

We rushed from Miss Simpson ' s office with student lists and from Miss Craver ' s office with faculty lists to the annual office. We divided frac- tions by fractions, counted the ' s on the ruler thousands of times, and erased holes in our precious duinmy. Octo- ber crept in, and we drew up a chart for class pictures. In the dining room we stared at every student wondering il she would forget her picture and leave a vacuum in the yearbook. We scanned the campus trying to select memorable scenes. Organizations were haunted with don ' t forget the time, wear suits, be in the living room of Bitting. Fourth Street was infested with Salem girls carrying contract books. Graduation, May Day, Re- ligious Emphasis Week have already been visualized on the yellow paper of the staff. Indeed, many things have happened since we gazed at the quad-rule sheets wondering if anything would happen on that blank paper. The pictures have been retm-ned from Woodrow Wilson and Tom Daniel. The edi- torial staff has written and re -written copy. The business staff has visited one hundred and ninety-five offices in town. Today we mailed our last glossy to Jahn and Oilier. Has it really happened. We are anxious to see the work in real print even if it will mean copyreading. But, our anxiety will be climaxed when we discover the cardboard lioxes in the Catacombs.

The student teachers were in charge of the two skits presented. One skit was presented as a puppet show and the second was presented as a radio program. The latter was used partly to bring to the attention of the student body the series of weekly radio programs to be presented over W ' SJS by the student teachers. There will be a series of six this fall and six next spring. These prograins will be conducted by the student teachers in an effort to familiarize the citizens of the city with our training program. The Education Club, formerly known as the Comenius Club, has many projects this year which, with the help of the new Junior members, are being worked on tirelessly. Every Tuesday night in the basement of Bitting hot dogs are to be sold by the members of the club. The money raised will l)e used to pay for teas given for the critic teachers, and to pay for the entertainment of visiting college groups. Plans are being made for the club to visit other college campuses during the year. In order that more might be learned about the city and county systems of Wins- ton-Salem, some of the outstanding educators of the area will be invited to speak at .several meetings. Plans are being made for as many members as possible to attend the state NCEA meeting to b e held in Raleigh this spring. The last meeting of the year, in honor of the seniors, will be in the form of an outdoor supper. It will be held by the May Dell fireplace and installation of new officers will take place.

Fcrcnc Molhar ' s se cn scene play opened the season for the Pierrette Players in o emlier. Back in October tryouts were held and practice began under Director Riegncr. This production owed its success not only to the veteran actors of Salem, l)ut to th? enthusiastic support of the Freshmen. The Theatre-in-the Round is a new production scheduled for the spring project of the club. The audience will sit in an informal circle around the stage and actors will not have the beneht of costumes or props, .- fter- wards, audience and actors will dis- cuss the play together. Miss Riegner ' s theatre class pnned to he the backbone of every pro- duction. With professional skill and elbow grease they painted scenery, planned costumes, make-up and light- ing.

LABLINGS Go-o-dness, it was a cold No- vember night when Percy Paramecium and Andy Amoeba peered through the beaker at the shivering Homo- Sapiens gathered in Park Hall. Percy sat up on his hind cilia and heard the leader say that the programs for the year would be written on the board. Andy put out a pseudopodium, flowed to the other side of the beaker, and stared up at a monstrous black wall. He could see something about a movie, a psychiatrist, and a speaker from out-of-town. This didn ' t mean much to , ndy, but he was happy anyway, because this was his night. He and Percy would be demonstrated under a micro- scope! Andy felt himself being pulled up into a medicine dropper. Before he realized it, he and Percy were on a shiny slide, ready for their act. Percy and . ndy were rewarded. Soineone dropped them a cookie crumb when refreshments were served. Officers: President, C ' .arolyn Reid; Nice-President, Joan Kenyon; Secre- tary, Beverly Bryant; Treasurer, .Susan DeFreese. LOOK!

The Sophomore pages, dressed in white, marched down the aisle with their Seniors. The traditional program started with Dr. Gramley reading the scripture. The audience joined in the Christmas hymn, O Little Town Of Bethlehem which was followed by the Seniors ' carol, It Came Upon A Midnight Clear. Four of our favorite Senior voice majors then sang a carol. Lyn and Ann began to light the Moravian candles and the Seniors with their pages passed them through the audience. When each person held a lighted candle, the .Seniors with the congregation sang the antiphonal carol, Morning Star. Then, we left with the re- cessional, Silent Night and formed a tableau with our candles in the lobby while Dr. Gramley asked the benediction. It was just a step outside to the cold, crisp night, and the air rang with Merry Christmas to all and to all a good-night. 53 ET im H ■ , ' ■ • lH r t 1 |h ■ 1 I the SOPHOMORE V J_i J o o Christmas ' espers came, and thinsjs quieted down for the Sophomores. This is the annual event when the Seniors choose their sister class as pasjes. On the last Sunday night before the Christmas holidays the Seniors, dressed in their black caps and gowns, and we, in contrasting white, marched down the aisle of Memorial Hall. This is the greatest event of our year. Our class began its project in the fall semester. Wash day blues left Salem campus when the Sophomore Class installed a Bendix washing ma- chine on the second floor of Clewell Dormitory. For thirty-five cents any- one in school could wash as much as eight pounds of laundry including blouses, cotton dresses, and even the scatter rugs which predominate in the rooms all over campus. The .Sopho- mores jumped into their first major project with inuch enthusiasm and with a determination to make a go of it. We worked hard to meet our payments. There was no end to the headache caused by the Bendix, but the Sophomores take pride in the fact thai they less!-n:-d th? burden of blue Monday. Not to l)e sufiordinated . . is Rat Week. The Freshman Class was horrified by us — their elders for three full and eventful days. While the Freshman shivered at our solemness, we had to laugh behind our hands. When the last Freshman performed at Rat Court, we, tyrants, were glad to be civil again and invite our under- dogs to a party in Davy Jones. To wind up our activities of the year we will participate in the annual Stunt Night to be held in March. The re- sult ... an acknowledgment from the student body, a new spirit of co- operation, and lots of fun for all of us.

Here the exam schedule is prepared for puhli- cation and the few bits of cheerful news are being compiled for this week ' s Salemile. For. in spite of the proverbial storms and high water, each Friday brings us another Salemile. For each line of print that we read there is a story — of assigning the news, writing it, proof-reading it, setting it on the linotype machine, putting it in the page, printing it, getting the ads to pay for it and finally, getting it to us. The editorial staff takes care of the actual writing and proof-reading part; the advertising and business staffs try to keep the Salemile out of the hole; and the circulation staff gives the final result to us. The job begins on Mondays with the beats coming in and the making of assignments. The advertising staff is seen heading for town to pound the sidewalks for just eighty more inches of ads. Tuesday night most of the copy comes in and a general idea of the make-up is sketched out. Then, right after supper on Wednesday the copy editors dash around collecting the last snatches of copy, proof-readers add and delete commas, editorial assistants count out headlines, and the catacombs are in a dither until this week ' s paper is ready for the .Sun. Going to the Sun all day Thursday to put the paper to bed is enough fun to make up for all the headaches of the three previous days. But as we read this week ' s issue we know that ideas and plans for next week ' s paper are already in the making. .And so it goes all through the year.

This action was taken after many years of dis- cussion concerninsc the achievements of small separate clubs as compared with the possiblities of one large organization of all language students. The final decision to unite all of the small clubs has proved this year to be a wise one since strength in nmuliers has effected better programs. When the clulis were separate their memberships were too limited to afford programs including imported speak- ers, movies, and art functions. Now the larger Language CUufi with more resources has much room for deselop- ing interest in foreign languages and countries on the Salem OoUege campus. The actual content of programs for the Language C.lub is varied in that it covers the past and contem- porary affairs in each of the coun- tries. The various programs stim- ulate an interest in the customs, language and culture of the different peoples. For example, the Language Club had Dr. L rban T. Holmes of the Romance Linguistics Department of the L ' niversity of North Carolina to speak on the character of the Middle . ges covering London and Paris thoroughly. On the lighter side, the social affairs are gay. .Some of the meetings feature records of Cuban popular music, and picnics by the fireplace in the May Dell. Each year the .Student liody and faculty look forward to the Christmas carols presented l)y the German stu- dents in Chapel. The Language Club also has a project during the year to raise money for foreign relief. The money is rai.sed by different forms of enter- tainment such as fortune-telling at their sponsored parties. LOOK! Preparing their Christmas carols. 67 I 0r....i IVpGlNiii YWCA PKBRUARV The first day in February saw the members of the V Cabinet down al tlie station early in the morning to meet our spealier for Religious Em- [jhasis Week. The campus hummed for the next seven days with discussions, conferences, and personal interviews. Every student gained something . . . not only religious experiences but also Ijetter ideals for everyday living. Broadly speaking, the Y centered its plans for the past year around the fourfold platform of religion, social functions, community projects, and service for the student. Salem-Davidson Day, way back in October, started the Y -Vear off with a bang. There were four buses loaded with Salemites eager to know how blind their dates would be. A gala day was planned including a football game and a dance . . . the blind dates turned out sublime. One of the Y projects which met an enthusiastic audience was the World Student Service Fund drive. The Student Body seized this as an oppor- tunity to help foreign students per- ■sonally. Movies and guest speakers presented the problems of international education and the work of the WSSF. The Faculty Play was a tremendous boost to this project. . ' Ml through the year we blourd our letters and term papers on the Ilcav- enly-Bluc blotters the • ' ■ s ' )ld. These were all-inclusive . . . Salem dope sheets, calendar, football sched- ules, and important telephon.- num- bers. Morning chapel in the Hom:.--Mor- avian Church started each school day with solemnity and purposefulncss. Sundays brought vespers and Thurs- days were Y-Watch nights. Of course. Stunt Night was a highlight of the year. Every class mustered all of its talent and competed for the grand prize. Who won was irrelevant to the teamwork and fun which went into the show. Christmas meant playing Santa Claus to the orphans. We gave them a party and must confess we felt the Yuletide spirit. All of this proves that the YWC. at Salem is the product of the Stu- dent Body.

MEN ' S ORGANIZATION March . . . the Men ' s Organization begins planning for the annual ban- quet which has been an outstanding success. In the early period of this group, the main function of the Associ- ation was the planning of its social affairs. Smokers, picnics, dances, and the banquet were the entertainments. Now, the scope of the A.s.sociation has been enlarged. On October 4, 1949, a majority of the men students voted for complete union with the .Student Government. The first three years in their history found the group separate with its own rules and govern- ment. This year it is represented in the .Student Government and the members have taken a great interest in their college. Their concern was displayed in a great deal of debate before they united with the other campus groups. This young organization in 1949 took a place among the older campus associations. This was a far cry from the Men ' s Association of 1946. Many years ago a wise man once said that the only constant is change. So it is ! LOOK! Planning for a tea? After-dinner relaxation.

The JUNIOR-SENIOR The night is dedicated to the Seniors. The decorations and orchestra seem different from the other dances of the year. They show extra planning; and choice. There is a dignified atmos- phere . . . the Seniors are realizing this is their last dance at Salem and the Jimiors can hardly believe they are at the Junior-.Senior. The first signs of the gala affair . . . Salem campus is crowded with David- son. C:arolina, Wake Forest and Duke cars. The date rooms are buzzing with informal gatherings. But, at eight-thirty the upperclass- men in their prettiest formals, with their best beaux stream down to the dance. Clinky heads the receiv- ing line. It has really started . . . soft, pastel decorations suggesting Spring . . . dancing with the many fiances of the proud .Seniors . . . tasty refreshments . . . entertaining chit chat. Certainly, a success ... a triljute to the .Seniors and a reward for the hard work of the Juniors. 73 the JUNIOR CLASS Three years, three eheers! We suddenly found ourselves upperclass- nien. The long; awaited privileges that once seemed so far distant were now ours. We accepted cheerfully the more lenient social regulations such as blanket permissions, more overnights, and later hours. With these privileges came more responsibilities. Even before the open- ing of .school we began corresponding with the freshmen putting them in the know about what awaited them at Salem. It seemed unbelievable that we were big sisters giving advice now instead of taking it. Needless to say, we felt most important and our egos were inflated. We could not let this feeling of importance completely engulf us. For financial rea.sons we all joined hands and went to work. Junior breakfast was our project to supplement the money we saved as underclassmen toward the Junior-Senior. This ne- cessitated our rising en masse on Sun- day to the simultaneous ringing of fifty Baby Bens to prepare a breakfast fit for a gourmet. Being a very zealous cla.ss, we combined forces with the IRS and presented movies every other week. The arrival of our class rings just before Christmas reminded each of us that we were fast approaching our final year. r jiroudly cxhiliilecl them before the en i()us ryes of the underclassmen. Before this thrill had time to wear off we began to plan the prograin for the annual C!hristmas banquet. This banquet is given each year in honor of the Senior class. It hardly .seemed possible that spring had arrived in such a hurry and with it the big Junior-Senior dance. It called for every bit of originality and energy we could inuster. We united the members of our class and put them in charge of decorations, re- freshments, and entertainment. We uncovered the talents of the remainder of the class and set each one to the numerous other jobs. In spite of all the effort and worry we were proud and happy over the final out- come. May found us hustling about beg- ging, borrowing, or stealing caps and gowns. On the last day of classes we officially received our caps and gowns at the traditional hat burning cere- mony. In spite of the sheer ecstasy that completely overwhelmed us we could not help but have regrets at seeing our friends graduate, and we were a bit duljious as to whether we could take their places and fulfill what was ex- pected of us.

MA ■ IT ' S SPRING! our last month at Salem The pool is painted and filled, iced-tea is served in the dining room, the willow tree is trailing the freshly cut grass, and May is here. To the underclassmen. May syinljolizes the last step toward a carefree summer and the following September when they will he the old girls at Salem. To the seniors. May is the month when they suddenly hear the church chimes and the hum of conversation in the smokehouses with the persistent thought, this is the last time — . But to .seniors and underclassmen alike. May is the busiest month of the year. The weeks of planning for May Day are brought to a reality as the first .Saturday begins with a sere- nade to the May Queen. Classes are rushed through, and by four o ' clock hundreds of guests are filing to the May Dell. Soft music, a gay pageant, and finally the appearance of the May Court followed by the beautiful May Queen and her maid of Honor. Climaxing the long-awaited day is the formal dance in the decorated gym. Then there is the night of the A. Banquet. The dining room is dres.sed in Miss Anna ' s prettiest flowers; and our hostesses, the . . council, proud- ly sit at a long table. The chimes sound, and the awards of the year are given to the athletes of Salem. How many of us wish we had spent those leisure hours playing tennis or basketball? Like a bolt of lightning we realize that exams also come in May. We wonder if we will survive the enforced quiet hours, the all night cramming, and then the exams themselves. A few days later . . . graduation, ac- companied by tears and joy, is the culmination of life at Salem for the seniors. Yes, Spring is here ! 8i th( MAY DAY COMMITTEE Awake, awnkp nh pretty, pretty maiden. . . .

This marks the close of another successful year for the Athletic Association. The usual formality is avoided, in- stead, the evening is filled with fun and good food for everyone. After the welcome is extended by the pres- ident, the .students .sit down and let their thoughts wander back through the year and the various sports seasons. The managers present awards to the outstanding girls in their respective sports. These awards consist of charms, letters, blazers and stars. A cup is awarded to the class having the best attendance throughout the year. The last and most important award is the white Salem blanket which is given to the senior who has earned the high- est number of athletic points during h er college career. We look forward to this banquet throughout the entire year and it is a memory well worth keeping. This is the night which clima.xes a long year filled with work for the AA. The freshmen are introduced to their Athletic Association during orientation week at an outdoor picnic held in the May Dell l y the open fireplace. The girls are urged to join in all the sports, and the season is formally opened with a pep rally. The student body and the faculty gather around the bonfire, and the class rivalry is evident through the cheers heard. The athletes of the school begin their fight for the athletic awards, while those less skilled struggle down to the gym hoping to win the attendance cup for their class. The social functions of the Athletic Association are among the highlights of the year. In the early days of December we can find members of the AA planning and decorating for the .Santa Claus Stomp. This informal dance which is held in the basement of Bitting has all of the Ohristmas trimmings from a decorated tree to Santa Claus himself. .Soon after this informal dance we find these girls in the gym decorating for their annual ' alentine s dance.

In March the students start trying out for the May Day dances and arc drilled in bodily e. f ressions and movements. .M ' ter lone; horns of practice, these me mbers help make May Day the success that it alway.s is. Back in the fall, practices were started for the March recital. Club members sponsored this recital to acquaint students of .Salem with the new de elopments in this field, and familiarize them with what the club actually does. During the year the Modern Dancers participated in the .Annual .Arts dance classes held at WCUNC. While there they had classes under the professional dance instructor, Charles Wiedman. .Students interested in the modern art of dancine: compose the member- ship of this organization. Its major purpose is to develop expression of the body without the use of facial ex- pression. OHicers: President, Myrta Wiley; ' icc-President, Jane Watson. the MONOGRAM CLUB Since the Monogram Club is repre- sented on the .Athletic council, its month is May too! It works in co- operation with this group on their main projects including the formal dance given around St. X ' alentine ' s Day and the sponsoring of class games in the hockey, basketball, and soft- ball seasons. They increa.se the inter- est at these games by .selling to the famished spectators candy, fruit and soft drinks. This club is essentially an honorary organization. It is composed of those sports-minded girls who have won athletic awards through participation in the various sports activities of Salem. A student must have a total of 25 points for a letter, 33 for a star, and 45 for a blazer. The.se co%eted awards are presented at the annual A.A Banquet, which is given in the middle of May. The members of this club are: Chairman, Araluen Clinkscales; Lyn Marshall, Beverly Johnson, Myrta Wiley, Mary Faith Carson, Eula Mae Cain, Carolyn Lovelace, Ruth Len- koski, and Helen Kessler. LOOK ! Practicing for the March recital. Will ihose sw-immcrs make the Monogram Club? 95 THROUGH THE PORTAL I am a Salem Senior, almost a Salem graduate and alunma. Now I am on the stage of Memorial Hall, but in ten more minutes I will walk up the aisle for the last time. In fact, everything 1 do now will be for the last time. This is my day . . . this is what I have been working toward since first I sang Standing at the Portal. At the stroke of eleven, Dr. Vardell opened e ery stop on the organ for the processional; the faculty with their colored hoods and gold tassels started down the aisle. I, slipping on freshly polished floor, followed them. I climbed the steps after Dr. Gramley, Bishop Pfohl, Dr. Spaugh, and Mr. Clamp- bell. I have practiced all of this a dozen times, but today it is real. Now I will receive my diploma. Sitting on the stage, I see for the last time familiar faculty faces who have helped me for four years, the hands on the big clock moving slowly, the corner of the Hall of History, and one wall of the home church. My family and friends are smiling. I hear the speaker, but I cannot think what he is saying. The applause rings out. It is time for me to walk across the stage and to grasp finally that piece of sheepskin, my diploma. I have a confused feeling of happiness and sadness. I am glad my college career is ended, but sorry that I have to leave Salem, my four-year home. My tassel now hangs on the left of my cap. I am a graduate. The marshals start down the aisle. I rise with my classmates and for the last time I sing, Strong are thy walls, oh Salem . . . 97 RtM : ■%vW yl SENIOR MARSHALS hite dresses . . . t;old regalia . . . opening chajjel . . . lectines . . .

The biggest event of our career is graduation, lilus all the responsibilities that go with it. From practice Friday at ten o ' clock iMitil noon on Monday, our time is taken up with Alumnae Day, Baccalaureate, .Senior X ' cspers and the final exercises on Monday. Promptly at 10:58 . .M. the graduation pro- cession enters Memorial Hall. Jane Hart leads the speakers up onto the stage and then she hurries back to get the anxious Seniors who wait on the porch steps of the hall. Graduation exercises affect us many different ways. For some marshals it is a sad farewell to our jobs. For others the service is a happy one, because we suddenly realize that we are stepping out of our Junior shoes into those of Seniors. As we stand in the lobliy after graduation has begun, we think of the successful lectures and concerts which we have attended as ushers . . . John Mason Brown . . . Mady Christians . . . William Hiuig . . . Richard E. Lauterbach . . . James ' arburg . . . our own Margaret ' ardell. We remember the familiar Tuesday and Thursday chapels with the rush to give out hymn books and to check the rolls. Even before the regular weekly chapels, we can clearly remember our first experience at our new job. That was Opening Chapel. How frightened we were that some- thing would go wrong or we would miss our cue. How proud we were to be so important that day! We silently prayed that no one would slip down on the slippery floors of Memorial Hall. Graduation ends . . . we turn our regalia over to our successors. Our job as Marshals is over ! LOOK!

Its mem- Ijcrs are chosen on tlie basis of their previously expressed desires and en- deavors to help Salem College in her progress. Therefore, its meniljers are inaturc students who are sincerely interested in the betterment of their school. The Scorpions ser e as an auxiliary group to all other organizations on campus. In this capacity they do jobs which have fjeen pre iously oxer- looked, but when accomplished have improved lis ing at Salem. Except for membership, which is announced e ery November, the Scor- pions follow the policy of secrecy. The details of the organization, the methods of choosing members, and the meeting place remain secret, but the Scorpions continue to be respected by all who come in contact with their work. Members of the Order of the Scorpion are: Mary Jane Hurt, Ruth Lenkoski, Beverly Johnson, Lou- i.se Stacy, Helen Ke ' ssler, Elizabeth Leland, Marilyn Marshall, Dorothy Massey, Joan Carter Read, Clarolyn Lo elace, Jane Hart, Mary Faith Carson, and Araluen Clinkscales. WHO ' S WHO Who ' s Who is the goal for students to attain through their merit of char- acter, scholarship, leadership, and po- tentiality for future usefulness in busi- ness and society. That is the purpose in itself. By this, they may gain the best results from their college ex- perience. Each year since 1934, the publi- cation has recognized students from approximately six hundred colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. This acknowledgment serves as a honorary reward to stu- dents for what they have already accomplished and as a recommen- dation of successful students to the business world. These girls have the advantage of a placement service con- ducted by the publication and used by over five hundred personnel directors of various firins. The students who have been se- lected from Salem this year are: Robert Gray, Polly Harrop, Beverly Johnson, Ruth Lenkoski, and Louise .Stacy. 103 HONOR SOCIETY Miss Hixon Miss Vest Mr. Leach Winifred Harris Polly Harrop Norman Jarrard Beverly Johnson W ' ilnia Pooser Homer Sutton Wesley Snyder Evelyn Tatum Dr. Singer Miss Sowers Mr. Sawver 104 INTRODUCING THE FEATURE GIRLS SELECTED BY EACH CLASS V 105 SENIORS Rl 111 l.l.NKl ISKI Sprinylicld, MassaihuscHs . . .

This comfortable apart- ment is situated midst dust and fall- en plaster in a corner of the Mae- stro ' s studio. Peace vanished when the music majors come back in the fall. Pandemonium hit . . . now music Hall rumljles threaten- ingly and shows signs of bursting at the seams. Pianos bang, voices screech, violins scratch, tubas oom- pah. Many a moth-eaten music major has jumped out of a fourth story window — similarly I, in des- peration, fling myself down the elevator shaft ! 3 ■■■  .  SALEM ACADEMY- COLL :E 1 1 i DEPARTMENTS Art Mix one plaster loot, three .shri - clcd oranges, one black vehct drape, (five minutes oH ' for a ciga- rette), one wing of the Victors ' of Samothracc. Add one wine de- canter while stirring in eight tubes of cobalt (live minutes off for a coke) together with linseed oil and turpentine. Sift in three table- spoons of sand for texture (if un- obtainable use coffee grounds). Sim- mer and stew for nine hours a week in a flourescent lighted room.

CiYMN.ASTICS Do ou want an easy credit? Walk through the rain, the slush, the snow, down and up 2,794 steps a week. It ' s not hard when you ' ve got one broken leg, water on the other knee, five out of ten finger- nails twisted and dangling, one split ear lobe, and three bloody eyes. Think . . . just think . . .not just one measley credit . . . but you too can learn cooperation, sportsmanship, perseverence, and how to develop a strong healthy body. All that and perhaps, a D— too! Mathem. tics In this course, we deal pri- marily with those functions which are purely imaginary with the possible exception of certain imagined values without answers in the back of the book. Infin- itesimals are beyond computation except when they are numerically close to the asympytate as they go into infinity and come back on the tangent to the sphere. According to the fundamental assumptions of algebra, find the logarithm, in- cluding the mantissa of an integer by interpolation to the loth deci- mal place without the tables. _)orolliY Massey, class of 195U in a gown of lace and net from our collection of the finest in fashions WinstonSuIem, N ' .
