dignified (?) 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.

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.
