Before we realized it, each dorm was doing its best to win the prize for Christmas decorations. The beauty of Senior ' espers, the Putz and the Christmas banquet increased our an- ticipation of the holidays. The coming of the new year brought exams, but it also brought Russell ' s re- knowned Kitchen Party. Then it was spring and the willow tree and the i y seemed greener than ever before. We made plans for the sunmter and went to the beach on the cuts we had had the will power to save. May Day, grad- uation and another year at Salem had passed. But each ot us cherished our own memories of this year we had spent within the i -icd walls. fy ?% ai From All Directions . . . . . . north, south, east and west — we arri ed. We bid farewel l to little sisters, spacious bedrooms with organdy curtains, our carefree life as high school seniors; and said hello to a strange roommate, knocking radiator pipes that ran through infinitesimal closets, and once again accepted the role of bewildered freshmen. Happy, excited, yet a little afraid, because for us September marked the beginning of a new life . . . the first rung of the ladder . . . our first -ear as a college girl. Dr. Dale H.

His greeting doesn ' t stop with just a hey there either. Many a time en route to chapel or the post office you ' ll find yourself telling him about your summer joli or the harcfest quiz you e er had. We know lie has a sense of humor, for he ' ll laugh harder than aityone at a good story or comment, and it will be a sincere laugh that makes you Iccl happy too. lie ' )! luund the table iiu must go on occasions in the dining room. 1 le ' ll let himselt be pro- posei.1 to by the Ireshmen duiing rat w eek. We know his talks in chapel that, because they always receive our rapt attention, somehow touch everyone of us personally. W ' e know his fairness and his understanding of all our prol:)- lems ... he seems to remember how he telt about such things at our age. W ' e know he can talk to any group on campus and have something pertinent to say to each — be it Stee Gee, FTA, or the Sateriiiti ' Staff. We know he gets more new things accomplished than seem humanly possible between our departure in May and our return in September. W ' e know he ' s made an old college campus filled with tradition progress with the times and yet retain its individuality. We know him as more than the administratf)r of our Salem. We know him as an integral part ()f our campus, lending to it honor, dignity, friend- liness, understanding, and a way that is typically Dr. Cjramle ' . y Board of Trustees Dr. R.

After serving for about fifty years under four presidents as college -housekeeper, she was ap- pointed housekeeper emeritus fifteen years ago. Miss Anna, as she was called by those who knew her, had become a familiar figure to many generations of Salem students. Her talent for growing flowers on the campus was recognized throughout the Salem section. To those whose lives she touched, her flowers were a reflection of her thoughtful, considerate and soft-spoken manner. 18 . ' .

And zve will not forget Though we be jar, far azvay. We wanted to be casual . . . . . . but we felt dazed and uncertain. It was hot and rainy, and we ' d ne er been here before. Clewell was in confusion; harried mothers were busily hanging curtains and giving last minute instructions while fathers patienth ' waited. Then we were left on our own. ' c felt strange at first, but after Dr. Rond- thaler ' s talk on the eye-brow arches, we began to eye everyone ' s New Salemite tag and play who do -ou know. During Orientation Week we were constant!}- on the mo -e, learning all about Salem, her rules and her ideals. But by the end of the week we were beginning to learn our way around. We practiced the Alma Mater until we knew it perfectly — and passed the handbook test with remarkably good grades, much to the surprise of our senior advisors! We learned that second hand books were a wise investment, and that blind dates were a necessary evil. We also learned that we should wear our so.x up, and that Bermuda shorts must be included in our wardrobe. We settled down to classes, and it soon became a familiar sight to see IVIama Louise coaching the freshmen in math each e -ening in Cozy. We began to know each other better and discovered that everyone had a talent Anne Miles, Pat Greene, Louise Pharr and Nancy Cockfield led the Freshman Class. . , . Turned-up nose, turned-down hose Flapper? yessir, one of those! . . . Explains Bren, It ' s like this, Marie. First you put a nickle in. . . . to offer. We found that Joyce could dance, that Pat could play anything on the piano, and that (liiinx- could pack suitcases to perfection. We entered Rat Week with great enthusiasm, but quieted down some- what wlien we saw Temple and Sandy with their black sweaters and green phosphorescent faces. For two hilarious days we dressed as flappers, Charles- toned, and handed out free cigarettes; this was climaxed by Rat Court when Carol got the worst while her date watched from the audience. Meredith, Faye, and Nancy were elected to the May Court as our out- standing beauties, and as a class we distinguished ourselves by becoming hockey champs under the constant prodding of Shaw, whose continuous refrain was, Everybody out for the hockey game! Together we looked forward to the big week ends — stretching overnights to co er Davidson Homecoming and Fall Germans. We sang congratulations to Emily and Marie, who returned from W. and L. and Duke sporting fraternity pins. Now our feeling for Salem is no longer one of uncertainty and newness. As we walk across campus at night, stop for a cigarette between classes, or pause for a hand of bridge down in Davy, we know that this is our school and these are our friends. Salem has become a part of us, and we are eager to return next year. Next year . . . we can be casual. 23 Freshmen First rozv: Madeline Allen, Troy Mary Ann Anderson, Greenville, S. C.

Many sophomoric people in think- ing about us choose this meaning for the word: approbriously, marked by a shallow assumption of learning or by empty grandiloquence. We are certain that the people preferring this definition are merely impressed by the length of the words, or else they have never found out that sophomores, in American colleges and some other educational institutions having a four year course, are students of the second year. As students of the second year, we failed to show signs of sophomorism by electing Ella Ann Lee as class president; Betty Jean Cash, vice-presi- dent; Julia Parker, secretary; and Phylliss Sherrill, treasurer. Miss Bar- rier, house ma-ma of South, was our class advisor. With a lack of shallow assumption, we made a wise selection of fellow sophomores to represent us in extracur- ricular activities. Martha and Ann served on the I.R.S. Council. Louise and Nellie Ann returned for another year on the Stee Gee. On the A. A. Council were Donald, secretary; Betty and Polly, hockey managers; and Susie, badminton manager. The Pierrette pro- duction, Dark of the Moon, had a predominantly sophomore cast. Ann Campbell, as Barbara Allen, played the leading feniinine role. We the sophomores upheld the Salem traditions by importing dates for the Christmas and May Day dances, by being sweet sophomores during Rat Week, by paging at Senior espers, by continuing our class project of working with the Red Shield Boys Club, by getting approximately a girl a month pinned, by complaining about homework, and by traveling from Florida to Canada during the school year for special week-ends. We may have been guilty of grandil- oquence during Rat Week, but it was far from empty. We considered our so-called wear - and - tear - strain - and - pain one of the best because these qualities failed to show in the freshmen. There was a flashback to the Roaring Twenties when Rat Week officially began. As we entertained the flappers after Rat Court, we passed to the freshmen the grandiloquence of this tradition. With a proud lift of our heads we take with us the assumption that we will further learn and little regret that we can never again respond to the title of sophomore. Class officers Ella Ann Lee and Betty Jean Cash take it easy, while Julia Parker and Phylliss Sherrill support the ole spring house. . . . Put the book away, Helen.

This was the year of phone calls, listening to football games, and looking at television. ' I ' his was the year of Claude Rains and Betsy Liles, week- end trips and dates in the basement, ping-pong, and long talks, and Bryan and Martin. Our officers were Pal Marsh presi- dent, Sally Hudson — vice-president, Bryan Bowman — secretary, Freda Siler — treasurer. We had a full year of activities. Junior breakfast became our Sunday morning routine, and we searched for other money-making proj- ects. We franticalh ' wrote ' erse and bought presents for the Christmas and junior-Senior banquets. l y Spring we had become a closely- knit group who realized their responsi- bilities as Salemites. We became the officers of the major organizations and hoped that we could fill them as well as they had been filled in the past. At the end of the year, along with term papers and approaching e.xams, we enjoyed the Senior privileges of having cars on campus, later hours, and unlimited overnights and evening engagements. The full realization of our approaching year came when we burned our hats of frivolity and donned Senior robes at hat burning. The time had really f own by and it was hard to realize that three of our years of being Salemites were o -er and we were to be Seniors. 41 Juniors First ro:r: Dorothy Allen, Winston-Salem Norma Ansell, High Point Mary Bambalis, W inston-Salem Margaret Blakeney, Charlotte Marguerite Blanton, Mooresboro Second rozc: Anne Bryan Bowman, Wadesboro Jane Brown, Murfreesboro Phyllis H.

Al- though we were small in number we were great in our spirit of comradeship that had been developing through the past three years. Our first duty as Seniors was to greet the new Salemites when they arrived on Sunday, Sept. 20. As we trotted up and down Clewell ' s steps in dangerous heels, we firmly agreed that all the 116 Freshmen must live on third floor! But it was not until we heard our few, but determined voices singing the traditional Standing at the Portals at opening chapel that we fully re- alized now ar were Seniors at Salem. We began our new role as Senior Advisors, carefully planning the strat- egy of teaching the handbook. The night of the test rolled around only to find many a nervous senior anxiously waiting to see the results of her diligence. We enrolled unanimously in Marri- age and Cooking . . . only to find that Two can ' t live as cheaply as one . . . and according to Aliss Hodges, even salads have personality. Dr. Kinsey and Mickey Spillane were the rage, and everybody was getting the facts to the tune of Dragnet. With the indispensible car and unlimited cuts, man} of us became five day boarders, for when Friday noon arrived we headed home or to the nearby college campuses. Under Boots ' supervision we re- decorated Bitting ' s Bottom with new pillows, curtains, and fraternity emblems. Wxdding bells rang fast and furiously in the fall. In October we congratulated Elaine and David as newly-weds, and shortly after, journeyed to Clinton for Selma ' s wed- ding, No ' . 7. Also in November,- we participated in the traditional Tree Planting ceremonies — planting a dog- wood near Bitting and ivy at the science building. Christmas at Salem arri ed bringing with it the traditional heartwarming festivities — the Putz, Senior ' espers, caroling, and the Christmas banquet — we experienced these events with a new emotion that was hard to express. December also brought a sigh of relief, not only from the practice teachers whose anxieties were ended, but also from the other occupants of Bitting who were glad there would be no more clicking of heels descending the stairs at the crack of dawn. After first semester exams were over, time literally flew, so that before we knew it, April had come with Stunt Night and the Junior-Senior. We lived many an anxious moment as Senior recitals and comprehensives came and went, and we emerged feeling a bit more mature as we passed another milestone in our education. Mth May came our last month at Salem. On May Day LuLong reigned as queen, and Piffles as maid of honor. Our class was further repre- sented by Elaine, Sarah Sue, and Jean as they served on the court. ' e burned our blue books and shed our robes for the Juniors at Hat Burning. Then it was all over but the big moment — our graduation. As we shared in this memorable experience, we all vowed that these years at Salem would never be forgotten. Pausing and refreshing are officers Lu Long Ogburn, Bonnie Bon- durant, Barbara Allen and Puddin Bass . . . Hey, Boop, dig that cra-zy dirt! . . . Picasso couldn ' t have done better! 46 f ■ ' ■ ]m ' - -w P ' : Seniors With a double major in history and English, BARBARA ALLEN kept busy this year. In spite of her three term papers, four history critiques and six Chaucer books, Barbara was vice-presi- dent of the Y , assistant business manager of the Sights and Insights and senior class secretary. She also served as a Scorpion, a member of Phi Alpha Theta, and the Honor Society. As campus representative for Chester- field, Barbara displayed her loyalty to the cause with her once-a-week cigar- ette down in the smokehouse with the rest of the fiends. A welcome addition to the May Court this year was ELAINE WILLIAMS A ' ERA. A home economics major from Chattanooga, Elaine took time from her duties as part time housewife and darning David ' s socks to work on costumes for May Day and the Pierrette productions. Soft-spoken, sincere, and . . . married, Elaine is the envy of us all. ELIZABETH BASS, another home ec- onomics major, hails from Henderson. A calm disposition and bandbox appearance characterize Puddin who, as senior class treasurer, kept us out of the red this year. She also proved her ability with a needle and thread by helping with cos- tumes for the Pierrettes. Clutching her Sears and Roebuck catalogue, Puddin rushes home each week end to see if the shipment has come in from Kinston! 48 liiM-I M, iXHhhilHHt ) ' I l-H-JHHHlllllH ' limv ' lUI ; Salem ' s own Helen Ha ' es was I() ' CL ' . BILLIN ' GS, one of the ' stars of ' the ' 52 fall production of Antigone. A history major, Joyce transferred to Salem from High Point College.

Boots, a Spanish major from Raleigh, has been active on the Y, the I.R.C., Stee Gee, and was headline editor for the Salemite this year. Boots will be remembered for her Belle Aire, her fur accessories, her afternoon naps, and her Hudson-Belk bargains. 53 NANCY HUFFARD from Bluefield, Mrginia, holds the title as the youngest member of the senior class.

AXXE ROBERTSOX MORGAX has certainly changed in four years: she changed her residence from Salem, ir- ginia, to Winston-Salem, she changed her major from music to English, she changed from a boarder to a day student, and from a Miss to a Mrs! Despite all of these changes, Anne has maintained her high academic standing (as a member of the Honor Society), her unruffled manner and her delightful sense of humor. 56 tiMH (nKH ' Hi M i(Ui :l!t(m r.

This ycai- the Men Students w ei ' e too busy to elect oflicers. In fact, their da ' -student room in the catacombs did not e en ha e a chance to get dirty. They had no time to sit around and talk or play cards. Most of them held jobs besides coming to school, .■ r el was an accountant and Tommy a typist. Russell Chambers owned and managed the Ambassador Hotel. For those who commute . . . ... to Salem each day there is ceaseless acti it} . Before school opened in Sep- tember, the Day Students entertained the new members of their group with a coke party for the purpose of wel- coming and orientating them into Salem ' s mode of life. On the first Sunday of Orientation Week an open house was given for all newcomers and their parents who were glad to stop for a few minutes from the ordeal of unpacking. The days and months that followed were just as acti ' e — a cabin party at the lake, decorating for the Christmas part} ' and the Mothers ' Tea, rehearsals for the annual chapel program and the selling of copies of the alma mater — all of which resulted in fun and a small amount of work for e er -one. With spring came the annual Day Student Picnic. While munching ham- burgers and potato chips, the girls talked of the exciting events of the past year — Betty Lou ' s ring, Dottie ' s pin, the practice teaching experiences of LuLu and Ruth, and the antics of their favorite day student, little Lucy Spencer. Officers of the organization this year were Anna Katharine Dobson, presi- dent; Audrey Lindley, vice-president; Jean Miller, secretary; and Norma Hanks, treasurer. Phyllis Carswell rep- resented the Day Students on the Student Council, and Ruth Mcllroy was their representative to the Athletic Association. 67 ' ' Far may our song ring clear ' ' . . . across the seas to Denmark, France, and China from whence came our foreign students this year. Helle, Mari- anne and Helen came to Salem in September. They will leave us soon, but we hope they will carry our Salem song back home with them. Helen Fung, from Singapore, China, wasted no time in showing us her talents. At a party the first week of school, she entertained us by singing Oh, Mena. Then, at Rat Court, she danced the Charleston like a true flapper. Helen, who thinks American girls are real cute, would like to acquire some of their open, cheerful, happy-go-lucky ways. She especially likes their cuddly pets and beautiful stationery. As for the more serious side, Helen is interested in education. She wants to help modernize the school systems in Singapore by observing and studj ' ing these in America. One of her dreams is to be able to travel through- out the United States. Marianne Lederer is from Paris, France. She likes the Salem campus — the trees most of all. She dislikes high heels and would rather see girls dress casually — say, in men ' s shirts. Mari- anne particularly enjoys American breakfasts, ice cream, and — of all things — cotton candy! She enjoys studying languages and is planning to be an interpreter. Helle Falk, from Aaihus, Denmark, is always smiling. She ' s always ready to stop and talk, and enjoys meeting new people. She says that everyone has been very kind to her here, al- though she still misses Fritz when there ' s a full moon! Helle likes Ameri- can food, sports, and fingernail polish. She enjoys studying English and psy- chology. Someday she hopes to be a doctor. Helen Fung, Marianne Lederer, Helle Falk . . . 68 ■naBmj « The spirit of Salem ... is the basis ot tiur hom.n ' system. In order for this system to be etreeti e, eaeh girl must exereise a sense of personal honor, eo-operation, and lo -- alt ' . Students work together through our student government association to promote those high, intangible ideals which imbody what we call the spirit of Salem. On October 5, 195. a new tradition was begun on our campus — that of signing our Honor Book. Members of the student council, in white, sat in a semi-circle on the stage in Memorial Hall, . lice McNeely, president, lit the candles on the table in the center; each freshman came forward and signed her name in the large leather bound book containing the honor pledge This is a pledge in which each student promises to strive to live up to the regulations and principles underlying student self-government. With this impressive program as a formal be- ginning, our student government be- gan its work to foster the individual and community interests of Salem College by creating a sense of indi- vidual responsibility, and responsibility to the honor system of the College. Our council is composed of the Student Go -ernment officers, class presidents, house presidents, and rep- resentatives of each class and day student representatives. In March, 1953, Alice McNeelv was elected Stee First Lady Alice McNeely. . . .as- sisted by Betsy, Mary Lou, Bobbi and Mary . . . official doorlockers . . . and class representatives . . . Salem ' s Student Council. Cee president, and in April she be- came Salem ' s own first lady. Mc- Neely and her council moved into the new student government office. Our pres set up weekly office hours so that students could come and talk over problems and bring suggestions or constructive criticism. For the first time, students were invited to attend a council meeting to better understand how our self government association functions. As things began to settle into routine; the Stee Gee room was filled every Monday at five o ' clock. Alice could be seen searching frantically for the list of things we ' ve simply got to do, and Bobbi was found scribbling down the call downs. Betsy and Mary Lou worked hard on chapel programs, and Mary spent hours getting the budget to balance. Stee Gee governed well, and spon- sored many projects — directed the Ori- entation program for freshmen, edited the Handbook and Orientation book- lets, bought the peanut machine in Davy Jones, sponsored the Christmas Fund, and was generally kept busy evaluating and making changes in the rules and regulations. In February, the Nominating Com- mittee met, ballots were mimeographed, elections held, votes counted. Once again, a new council was orientated — the Juniors were taking over. The Seniors prepared to leave — but they will long be remembered for a job well done. 71 ' ' Follow the Gleam ' ' . . . . . . softly drifted through the windows of Old Chapel and over the campus, as we assembled the first Sunday night in September for the Freshmen Rec- ognition Service. Pledging our services to the Y.W.C.A., those of us on the cabinet joined committees — working with Sue on community service, with Barbara on vespers, with Boots on the social committee, or with Betsy on W.S.S.F. President Jean Edwards kept things running smoothly. We welcomed back Mr. Sawyer after his year ' s absence, and he along with Miss Barrier joined with enthusiasm all our activities — from vespers and the sale of blotters to retreats and picnics at Miller Park. Religious Emphasis Week high- lighted the month of October. Rever- end Kenneth Goodson, our speaker, gave us many thoughts on Prayer and Christian marriage to carry with us through the year. He knew as much about Salem as we do and thoroughly entertained us with some of his earlier escapades here. With the help of the student body, the Y sponsored a party for the foreign students. Helen, Marianne, and Helle entertained us with Chinese, French and Danish songs, and the party ended on a satisfying note with our three foreign students ' assurance that now they must be as rich as Reynolds! At Christmas and Easter we piled into the bus for our annual parties for the colored orphans at the A ' lemorial Industrial School. With a little coaxing they entertained us with some dancing and the unforgettable White Christ- mas. Anxiously we watched the storage room in Sisters be converted into the little chapel. We returned from Christmas vacation to find it com- pleted, giving us a real place of our own for worship. In January we piled into the bus again — this time to go to Davidson for Salem-Davidson Day. Maybe I should have put 5 ' 5 with heels preyed on our minds during the ride down; but a tea dance and a basketball game assured us that blind dates weren ' t so bad after all, when our mailboxes be- gan to show promising results! In April new officers were elected, and at the final retreat in May, the old and new cabinet members discussed the proceedings of the past year, and Y plans for next fall were begun. We departed after joining hands and singing Blest Be the Tie That Binds, realizing that the old cabinet had finished a job well done, and also looking forward to the continuation of the spiritual and social endeavors for the next term.

In seminar, freshmen were schooled in the intricacies of receiving lines, after dinner coffees and facult) ' teas, ancf were encouraged to decorate their dormitory rooms origi- nally. Soon freshmen curled their little fingers around teacups as easily as Madame Pearl Mesta and hung Pari- sian prints and cafe curtains in their rooms as attractively as an interior decorator. Meanwhile, the I.R.S., besides spons- oring a room contest in Clewell and checking chapel conduct, dining room manners, and neatness in attire, ga -e birthda - dinners, when all the birthda ' girls for three preceding months were feted with cake and song. As the holidays approached, the I.R.S. members gathered around Jean Shope, president, to plan the Christmas festivities. The first formal dance of the year was the Christmas Dance complete with blue streamers, shiny stars, and a mobile of sih-er Christmas balls. Salemites danced to the theme of Blue Christmas that week end, slept Stan lends a helping hand to I.R.S. President Jean Shope . . . There must be an easier way to do this! . . . Intermission gives those stepped- on-toes a chance to recuperate . . . soundly Sunda_ - night, and began to work on dormitor}- decorations Mon- da} ' morning. After cand) ' canes and cedar trees were swept away and Christmas holi- day ' s were over, the I.R.S. made plans tor the new calendar year, beginning with exam teas in January and coffees in I ' ' ebruar ' . Charm Week was emphasized in March. Chapel lectures changed from politics in Eastern Asia to the correct ■ application of lipstick. Salemites gave their nose an extra dab of powder, sewed up all pinned hemlines, made appointments at the beauty parlor, and from their midst the I.R.S. chose Miss Charm. April saw the Day Student Center converted in o a fash- ion salon as we admired the new spring cottons, bathing suits, and wedding gowns. With the arrival of May the ct)uncil sponsored their last formal dance of the year. Swoops of pastel crepe paper and paper flowers hid the basketball hoops, and Salemites once again danced that week end, slept soundly on Sun- day night, and rose Monday to begin stud3 ' ing for exams. This year Jean Shope, as president, headed the I.R.S. Bonnie Bondurant served as vice-president, Mary Anne Raines, secretary, and Helen Carole atkins, treasurer. 75 ' ' ' • ' TiiniimimniiiriFiii L.

' ' . . . . the signal is gi eii, the whistle blows, the teams come out of their huddle, and the coach makes her way to the front of the cheering crowd for her final farewell speech. As Boop begins her speech our minds wander back to the first week in September. It all began when the A. A. treated Salemites to a picnic supper on the athletic field. We filled up on Russell ' s hamburgers and brownies, acquired a bad case of indigestion, and decided to go all the way with the A. A. Chapel exercises brought us A. A. skits as we cheered our class teams on to victory to the tune of Old Moun- tain Dew. Then came the hockey tournament, and Betty Morrison urged the senior to put up their knitting and support their team. Broken arms, broken legs and broken teeth followed — Miss Collett screamed, Bulh- with the whistle, and we went all the way. But the greatest booster was the annual pep rally in November after May Day elections. The seniors ran away with first prize. After the rally we drank cokes and decided we would support the A. A. Before we knew it the ping-pong tournament was scheduled, and Caro- lyn Kneeburg was so euthused she made six posters instead of one! ' olley- ball followed and Francine Pitts urged the Salemites out to a most successful tournament. These tournaments were a lot of fun and worth going all the way for. Second semester decended upon us and before long, basketball was well under way.,. ' e cheered our Country Currin for such a wonderful tourna- ment. But the climax of this tourna- ment proved to be a great thrill as Salemites and faculty cheered their teams in the Student-Faculty Game. Susie Glaser was in charge of the badminton tournament and we all hit the birdie, watched the birdie, and smiled as the birdie too went all the way. The tennis tournament with Jackie Nielsen as manager brought girls from the upper campus to the courts to display their talents. We agreed that we couldn ' t all be Gorgeous Gussies, but we could go all the way to make the tournament a success and it was. Spring came and we found ourselves with ball and bat in hand on the soft- ball field with Joan Shope. Class games and faculty games were enjoyed b} ' all. The last athletic event of the year was the swimming meet in May. Salemites, displaying their mermaid talents, swam and dived as all eyes watched to see which class would come through with the awards. It was a long swim but those girls went all the way. After this great year of sports and more sports we gathered for the annual A. A. Banquet. The Salemites who worked and played, piling up points for their letters, stars, and blazers, the senior who was awarded the blanket for receiving the most points in her four years at Salem, and the class teams which were recognized, certainly deserved their laurels for making Salem sports conscious. Hoop ' s closing words brought us back to reality and we all agreed that this year our A.A. with Betty Mc- Glaughon as president, Anne Merritt as vice-president, Donald Caldwell as secretary, and Louise Fike as treasurer, had been the best — and we were glad we had all gone all the wav with the A.A.

' ' ' i fi ::famtp - The lightning flashed . . . . . . tlic eagle called, and tiie witch boy lost his Barbara Allen in the Pier- rettes ' very fine production of Dark of tlie Moon. Hit were a thrill, hit were to hear Ann Campbell ' s stiperb soprano voice float from the North Carolina mountains right into Old Chapel. It was Ann ' s first dramatic lead, but Miss Elizabeth Riegner, di- rector, had again turned out a star. The cast for Dark of the Moon was a large one. Diane Huntley created a perfect conjure woman. Ruth Lett, Denise McLawhorn, John Spinks and others, both from campus and town, will long be remembered as them thar mountain folks. Special tribute must also be paid to our W ' inston-Salemites Bill Woestendiek, as the witch boy, and Jack White, as Preacher Haggler. Supporting this cast were many hardworking Pierrettes, for new sets had to be built and special lighting effects worked out. Connie Murray called the group together early and assigned the crew heads. Emily Baker ' s summer experience in the North Caro- lina mountains aided her with her fine job of choreography. Angela ' s sets equaled those of last year. Louise and Sally operated the dimmer board, and Jean and Laura publicized the pro- duction. Connie Murray led the Pierrettes . . . You missed a spot! points out Sandy. . . . Diane, how you ' ve changed! . . . In the interval between major pro- ductions the Pierrettes grew in knowl- edge in Miss Riegner ' s theater labs. They learned how make-up is applied, how important mo ' ement and con- centration are to one ' s acting, and how each light is set up in Old Chapel. Half the class applied for summer theater jobs. Early in the second semester, work began on Carson McCuller ' s The Member of the Wedding. Laura Mitchell gave an outstanding perform- ance as Frankie Addams, the twelve- year-old girl who passes alternately between periods of energetic activity and rap fantasy. Jane Brown was memorable in the difficult role of Berenice Sadie Brown, the Negro cook, who is patient and understanding with Frankie ' s problems. And ten-year-old David Parrish, the first child to appear on a Salem stage in many years, was superb in the role of Frankie ' s seven- year-old cousin, John Henry West. These performances — coupled with Miss Riegner ' s sensitive direction, Emily Baker ' s delightful setting, and Lou ' s efTective lighting — made The Member of the Wedding one of the Pierrette ' s most successful second se- mester productions in several years. Officers of the Pierrettes this year were Connie Murray, production man- ager, and Sally Reiland, business manager. 81 . . . was Carol ' s perpetual question last fall as she constantly called the airport to see if the weather would permit Woodrow to take pictures. And from the darkest corner of the cata- combs Joan, Frankie, and Alice labored to create the 1954 Sights and Ixsights from a confusion of glossy prints and numerous pages of copy. Right after Thanksgiving Jean and Norma began to type furiously, and Miss Nicholson was summoned to proof read. In February the last deadline was met, and Carol and the rest of the staff settled back to wait. . . . .Jfc -.,. - n .

Since Monday, between orders to the drugstore, news stories had been tracked down by Connie and Sally, typed by Bebe, capped with headlines b}- Boots, and fitted into stairstep patterns by Donald. Meanwhile Alison, editor-in-chief, sprouted ideas and right words, con- soled feature writers who had no inspiration from the Muses, and con- A ' erted editorials, news briefs, and engagements into a Salemite each week. % f £ fl A u . Mats, cuts, and trips uptown . . . . . . were the jobs of the business staff of the Salt ' mitr. Shope saw that we knew wliieh ei,i, ' aretlc hail the least nicotine, the shop witli Bermuda shorts on sale, and the movie where John W ayne was playing. Maggie and Marguerite stalked Win- ston-Salem in lieu of business and came back with enougli ads each week to co er the back pages, pay the printing bill, and prove that they were effecti ' e salesmen. On Friday, Betty and Carol circu- lated the papers folding copies into the dorm bo.xes, licked stamps, and ad- dressed Salfinitt-s to off-campus readers. ■-um«..M— ,-,.uu«„„.i„ ■ititiih;! ! ' ' ' ' The atoms spun . . . . Pop! another test tube exploded as the Lablings continued their con- stant exploration into the world of science. Pop! this time it was the sound of popcorn cooking o ' er the hunsen burn- ers. The beakers were turned from scientific use into one of enjoyment as the}- were filled with punch. Cookies overflowed from the evaporating dishes. Such unique refreshments were served at se ' eral meetings. Early in the fall the medical tech- nology majors went out to Bowman- Gray to investigate the situation. They learned what would be expected of them in their senior year. They also investigated the ratio of internes to aspiring _ ' oung (female) scientists! To gi ' e the personal touch to the meetings, several students ga -e demon- strations of scientific principles. In the spring Joanne Moody, who was finish- ing her senior year at Bowman-Gray, spoke to the group. Frances Tucker, a Salem alumna, also spoke at one of the meetings about her experiences as a lab technician at City Hospital. This year Carolyn Kneeburg served as president of the Lablings. Helping her to create an interest in science among Salem students were Bryan Bowman, vice-president; Norma An- sel!, secretary; Edith Howell, treasurer; and Jane Brown and Francine Pitts, co-chairmen of refreshments. First Tuesdays of every month . . . . Ann Merritt called to order the Home Economics Club, and together the}- explored every topic from herbs to hair styles. First Tuesdays were also nights when the club pored over Ging- ham Tavern plans with Miss Hodges, advisor. Ciingham Tavern dances, complete with their checked table cloths, flashy chorus lines, cake walks, and combos were the chief money-making schemes. Given both in the fall and the spring, the dances raised purse money to finance other projects, among them the Christmas tea. I ' he Christmas tea was celebrated for its delicious party food, particularly the bourbon balls. Weeks ahead, with Ann leading, the girls hiked up the three flights of steps in the Science Building to freeze cookies and cut Santa Clauses, and to the Home Man- agement House to paste choir boys and hang holly wreaths. This year, besides faculty an d family, invitations were also mailed to roommates of Home Economics majors. And when the gloat- ing roommates gave their hair a last brush and departed for the tea, less fortunate ones begged, Please bring us back just one bourbon ball! The Home Economics Club also held open houses, fashion shows, and dwelled on all sorts of subjects connected with fashions, food and good housekeeping. 87 !titi ;fS«!«! ' Around the world and back . . . I I . . . went the International Relations Club in the living room of Bitting at each monthly meeting. At the first fall meeting Alargaret Blakeney, presi- dent, introduced six visiting Germans who entertained us with German marches at dinner that night in the dining room. From Germany to China the I.R.C. toured. Mrs. Heidbreder spoke of her summer study on Southeast Asia, and Helen Fung presented an album on China which she had compiled before leaving Singapore last fall. The other foreign students, Marianne Lederer and Helle Falk, took the club on an ex- cursion across Europe at Christmas when they told about the continental Christmas customs. The club members made a return trip to China as Helen described a Chinese Christmas. In early spring the club members turned eyes homeward when they were host to various colleges and foreign students for International Day. The club sponsored a panel discussion, speakers and dinner, as well as an after dinner coffee for their visitors. The International Relations Club ended its activities for the year with a banquet in honor of the departing foreign students Helen, Helle, and Marianne. This year officers were Margaret Blakeney, president; Betty Lynn Wil- son, vice-president; Nellie Ann Barrow, secretary; and Mary Benton Royster, treasurer. ' ' Ha, ha, . . . ho, ho, . . . hee, hee . ff ... if you happened to be walking on back campus past Old Chapel any Alonday, Wednesday or Friday after- noon at 3 :00 and heard these strange sounds pouring out of the windows, it wasn ' t a bunch of hysterical Salemites — it was the Choral Ensemble hard at work. And if you stopped and listened, you would be likely to hear them blend their voices beautifully into most any- thing from Bach to Berlin. Mr. Paul Peterson, better known to the girls as Mr. Pete, directs the Ensemble of approximately fifty voices — music majors and other girls who are interested in singing. Throughout the year the Choral Ensemble traveled here and there. winning fame for themselves and for Salem. This year their schedule included a trip to Richmond and Washington as well as cities nearby Winston-Salem, where they sang for churches, high schools, and civic clubs. The Home Moravian Church choir joined the Ensemble for their Christ- mas concert, which greath added to the holiday spirit. And in the spring the girls dressed formalh for their annual Spring Concert, the highlight of the season. The choral group was headed this year by Edith Flagler. Jane Little was vice-president, and Susie Glaser served as secretarv-treasurer. 88 I Li u I r ■. Mjmmf Li iBBJi ' llJ Have you paid your F. T. A. dues? . . . .

This trroup is ihe colle ;e ersion of the Xalioiial V.du- cation Association, and is made upi of practice teachers and future practice teachers who can do ahiiost anytiiing from discussing the problem child to fixing bulletin boards and directing chapel programs. At regular meetings teaching tech- niques were heard from Dr. Cjramley, local teachers and principals, and from our own practice teachers. During the year the F.T.A.-ers attended profes- sional meetings and con -entions. Among these was a trip to F.ast Caro- lina during the fall to learn of other F.T..A. acti -ities throughout the state. ' I ' hc linancing ol these trips was man- aged by Dot Smothers with her hot dog stand in Clewell. Though the freshmen had healthy appetites, the_ - never seemed to appreciate the aroma of onions left lingering in the halls! In the spring Miss Student Teacher was chosen to represent Salem in Ashe- N ' ille. Betsy h ' orrest was our ideal teacher — one with traits and abilities necessary for success in her chosen field. A banquet for the senior members marked the end of the year, and Betsy Forrest turned o -er her ga el to the new president, ' lliose helping Betsy direct the club ' s acti -ities were Anne Moye, vice-president; Sue Jones, secre- tary; and Anne Edwards, treasurer. Paints and brushes . . . . . . tucked under their arms, the art students went sketching in the country in the late fall and early spring. For stimulation they -isited the art gal- leries in the Public Library and the Art Center. This year the Art Club sponsored art exhibitions in the Salem librarv. Critics were invited to give their opinions of the artists ' works. Over cups of cofTee, informal discussions were held on the philosophies of art. ' I ' he art forums held twice a year drew the interest of ever ' one on cam- pus. Modern art and the basic prin- ciples of art were among the topics discussed. At the end of the year each art major held a private exhibition of her own work. I eading the activities this year were president Jo - Harrison, vice-president Betty ' IVler, and secre- tary Sara Marie Pate. 91 Hi .11 m V.

Tlic Order has served as an au.xiliary group at Salem for man} ' years, sup- plementing activities and projects of the other major organizations on cam- pus. The members of the Order of the Scorpion arc interested in the growth and progress of Salem as well as its welfare. They attend to neglected jobs and to those things which the} ' regard as being for the betterment of the entire campus. For the most part, these jobs and projects are unrec- ognized. The purpose of the Order of the Scorpion is to uphold the ideals of Salem College and to aid in dc eloping an awareness of responsibilit}- among students of Salem. Working as a unit, this organization realizes improvements which are needed and works as an intermediary in accomplishing these improvements. The senior members of the Order are Joan Shope, Jean Shope, Alison Britt, Jean Edwards, Lu Long Ogburn, Connie Murray, Alice McNeely, Bar- bara Allen, Carol Glaser, and Edith Tesch aughn.

Ill Amn-ican Colleges and Uni- versities was announced in November as the Salemite scoop of the year. Since nineteen thirty-four, outstanding students from six hundred schools in the United States and Canada have been selected to represent Jf ' ho ' s Who. This year from Salem ' s versatile Senior Class, five students have been selected to represent Salem. They are: Alice A-lcNeely, Alison Britt, Jean Shope, Lu Long Ogburn, and Mary Lu White- heart. These girls were chosen for member- ship by a committee composed of faculty members and the President of the Student Go -ernment. Qualifica- tions for membership include excellence in scholarship, service to the school, and future use to the community. Records of a student ' s college career, both academic and extra-curricular, as well as information concerning their training in special fields are submitted to the National Board. The purpose of Who ' s II ' ho is to create an incentive for students to attain the best results from their college experiences, and to recognize outstanding members of the Senior Class. The organization conducts a placement service for members which is used as a reference bureau by business firms, graduate schools, and education boards. 94 Honor Society y M. 1 lixson jane Watscii Rclly Edwin A.

' -faccd pansies, and spring felt warm and soft. The bells were the same though. They insisted on ringing for all classes, and although the professors lectured lustily, the excitement was growing, and in the margins of textbooks, girls drew hearts with arrows and initials. rhe excitement exploded after lunch. Time w as a race now; there wasn ' t even a minute for a second cup of coffee and piece of sugar bread. Phones rang, dates called, and parents ar- rived. Shouts rang up and down the halls for pink nail polish and rain checks, and whispers echoed, Look out the window. You don ' t think it will rain, do you. ' The afternoon came. The May Court m} ' steriously disappeared into the Home Management House to slip into big hoops and fluff}- dresses. The sprites in the pageant were zipped into their muslin costumes, the back and front of animals jiracticcil walking in step, the peasants ran through their dance steps mentally, and the I.R.S. members loopetl the last curl of crepe paper around the basketball hoops. Down in the May Dell long shafts of sunlight fell between the oaks, and the hill was polka-dotted with mothers and fathers, cousins and boyfriends. Programs rustled and the marshals, in crisp white, waded through the ivy ushering the crowds to their seats. At five, a little nod from the May Day chairman ' s head began the music and the sprites skipped, the peasants whirled, the animals pranced and we were ofT to see the Wizard. Finalh- the strains of Moldeau were heard, and down the hill floated the May Queen and her court. The crown was placed on Lu Long ' s head. She bowed and smiled, and all in the May Dell smiled back. One last dance for the court and then the players exited. The sprites and the peasants ran across the bridge and up the hill, shouting t o their families. The Salemites, sitting on the hill, ran down and across the bridge to hug their queen and her court. Slowh- the dell emptied and only tattered programs and crushed i ' }- remained. The crowds moved up the campus, the sun sank beneath the oaks, and another May Day was ended. 99 Dancing red poppies . . . . . . lulled Dorothy to sleep ... a scare- crow in search of a brain and a tinman in search of a heart ambled down a yellow brick road ... a queen, her maid of honor, and her court walked gracefully down this same yellow brick road to the Emerald City glistening in the sun.

Elaine Avera planned costumes for wizards and lions: Dot squelched all expensive ideas with a shake of her head meaning positively no! ; and Carol publicized the big event. Hard weeks of practice and planning, last minute rushing for props, and lots of publicity between September and May brought us to the Wizard of Oz themed May Day. As the day pro- gressed, Tyler rushed here and there to see that the florist remembered to send the flowers for the court . . . that Boop ' s tinman suit fit properly . . . that Ann Edwards hadn ' t lost the straw from her scarecrow stuffings . . . that the lion and wizard were set for their performance . . . and most often, to make hasty calls to the airport for reassurance that the sun would shine!

Between the gawkiness of early ado- lescence and the dignity of full woman- hood, we find a delightful creature called the College Girl. She comes in assorted sizes, weights and ages, but all College girls seem to have the same creed: to enjoy and profit from every second of every minute of every hour of every day; to delay doing classroom assignments and term papers; to an- ticipate mail and forthcoming week ends; to engage in bull sessions; and when the last minute of any day arrives to surrender reluctantly as House Presidents and Student Govern- ment regulations pack them off to bed. College girls are found everywhere around campus and sometimes off — on the floor, on tables, under tables, up and down the steps, throwing candy wrappers on the sidewalk, piling books here and there, dropping cigarette ashes on carpets, discarding coke bottles in the line of traffic, walking on the grass, and parked in automobiles. Mothers love them, of course; younger brothers tolerate them; other girls envy them; College boys glorify them; Heaven protects them; and the Faculty is divided on the matter. A College girl is Truth with polish on its fingernails. Beauty adulterated only by blue jeans, Wisdom with a scarf around its head, and Hope-for- the-future once a fraternity pin ap- pears. A Salem College girl is a composite — she has the energy of a pocket-size atomic bomb, the irresponsibility of an overnight guest, the curiosity of a cat, the lungs of a dictator, the imagination of a Paul Bunyan, the gullibility of a yokel, the poise of an actress, the enthusiasm of an evangelist, the fault- finding ability of a taxpayer, the friend- liness of a salesman, and ' the ingenuity of an inventor. She likes late evening snacks, the movies, trips to town, easy assign- ments, men professors, take-offs on campus characters, Christmas, stuffed animals, the latest fads, informal bull sessions with the faculty, bridge and canasta at all hours, unlimited cuts, and entertainment in chapel. She is not much for 8:30 classes, quiet in the dorms, mending a tear, busy signs, lights out, the dentist, term papers, rainy weather, or discomfort of any kind. Nobody else is q uite so attractive, or so late for meals. Nobody else gets so much fun out of mail or little bits of news. Nobody else can cram into one handbag a supply of tissues, a wad of lecture notes, a lipstick, a comb, a boy friend ' s picture, three letters, a wallet, a church bulletin, a nail file, glasses, a shopping list, assorted sales slips, keys, bobby pins, and 21.67. The Salem College girl is a magical creature. She can lock you out of the dormitory, but cannot lock herself out of your heart. Might as well give up — she is your captor, your jailor and your master — a bright-faced, graceful, friendly, attractively dressed bundle of emotion and good sense. When you pass her on campus or meet her in class, although you may be weighted down by the shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, she can mend them like new with a smile and a friendly Hey, there!
