Salem College - Sights and Insights Yearbook (Winston-Salem, NC)

■H Dedicated to Miss Jess Byrd . . . . . . because she has a mind that is both liberal and comprehensive, a dislike for the insincere and the false. Miss Byrd doesn ' t have a forked tongue, of course, but she doesn ' t speak with the voice of angels, either. She is likely to have a score card in her pocket at all times— and be more than willing to match c -cry foul with a fair. But after awaking from a four-year slumber, we find that her criticism and frank- ness ha -e goaded and inspired us, that the barbs weren ' t bellicose nor the arrows irrelevant. And so the 1951 Sights and Insights is for her. JJ2

HI In niy ctccy fifty-one . . . . . . wc were students at Salem College. The one himdred and seventy-ninth vcar was nuieh like an - other year in Salem history. Hampton rang the bell for class at eight-thirty e ery morning, biology was as hard as ever, and the Seniors went C hristmas caroling the night before vacation. But in many ways nineteen fifty-one was difierent. The science building was completed then, and for the first time we had foreign students studying with us. We sang La ie En Rose, and planned trips abroad. There weren ' t as many boys on campus that year, bccau.se there was a Situation in Korea and the draft. Everybody was playing the ukelele, and nylons were hard to get. Prices were going up. and skirts were getting shorter. Nineteen fifty-one was much like any other year, but in many ways it was dif- ferent. In this annual, we have attempted to tell how it was, to show what Salem was like this year. This is the story of nineteen fifty-one.
