Salem Seniors Honor A Special Friend ■ Choosing a person for the Sights and In- sights dedication is a difficult job. So many people make Salem a special place that it is hard to single out one person to honor. However, this year ' s recipient is verv spe- cial to us all; she has shown a genuine love for Salem and its students. Mrs. Delia Carlton is a much-loved well- respected member of the Salem Commu- nity. She joined our community as a Resi- dence Hall Director in 1981, first living in Clewell for two years, and then moving to Babcock where she now lives. Mrs. Carlton is from Salisbury, N.C. She attended the Woman ' s College in Greens- boro (which is now UNC-G) for 2 vears and then went on to UNC-CH. She has eight children, the youngest of whom is still in college. Besides being an RHD, Mrs. Carlton does many things around our campus. She sits in for Becky Pack when Becky has errands to do. She loves to decorate and en- joys refinishing old furniture. In addition, she and Mrs. Budd do the lovely flower arrangements that we all enjoy around campus. Mrs. Calton loves old things, and places much emphasis on her heritage. This love for tradition and the past always flows over into her attitude about Salem. Mrs. Carlton feels that Salem ' s Honor System is important, and respects the way in which our government is student-run. Furthermore, Mrs. Carlton is always cheerful and smiling, a traditional southern belle . She is especially willing to help students or faculty with anything they might need, no matter how busy she may be. She looks after her girls in a motherly fashion, but still lets them lead their lives independently enough to grow on their own. Mrs. Carlton touches the lives of everyone in our community in one way or another — whether it is through her beautiful flower arrangements or by help- ing CAC set up for a mixer in Babcock basement. Mrs. Calton is much loved bv everyone at Salem, and it is for this reason that the class of 1986 dedicates this year ' s Sights anil Insights to her. 16

Salem on Safari Jungle Love was rampant during Big 3 + 3 ' s Salem Safari Dance Weekend October 25-27, 1985. The hunt was on to find a date, and for those Salem women who were brave enough to trudge through the treacherous dating jungle, the reward was a super time at Salem ' s dance weekend. The weekend started with an informal mixer on Friday night, held on Clewell patio. The music, mostly Top-Forty, was provided by D.J. Richard Sprinkle. On Saturday, the Athletic Association sponsored volleyball games for everyone at the Student Life and Fitness Center. Saturday night, most couples went out to eat, then went to a semi-formal dance at the Elk ' s Lodge. Xenon, a band from Raleigh, provided upbeat dance music for everyone. The Elk ' s was decorated with green balloons and posters to achieve a Safari look. The weekend came to a close after a picnic held at Tanglewood Park Sunday afternoon provided a relaxing break with the music of Spiedel, Goodrich, and Lille.
