CHARLES HENRY HIGGINS
Whose keen interest in every
progressive college movement
is the source of inspiration to all
Salem Students, the Senior Class
dedicates this volume of
Sights and Insights
In this volume of Sights and
Insights we have attempted to
condense life on the campus at
Salem, so that as you leave you
may carry with you cherished
memories of familiar spots and
congenial friends. If, in the
distant future, the rays of this
book of sunshine awaken in
your hearts sunny recollections
of your Alma Mater, we shall
feel that our earnest efforts have
not been in vain.
HISTORICAL SKETCH OF SALEM
In 1772, when the Moravians at Salem, North Carolina, established Salem
Female Academy, there was no other school of its type in the South. It was established
as a day school to meet the educational needs of the Moravian community; but by
1802 the demand for education in adjacent communities was so great that a boarding
department was added. In its beginnings Salem Female Academy was an elementary
school. Its curriculum developing with its students, it grew almost imperceptively
first into a high school, and then into a college. In 1866 a charter was granted which
provided for a collegiate department. So high were the standards of the Salem faculty
and trustees, however, that, in spite of the authorization to grant degrees they were
not granted until 1890, when the degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred upon
seven young women.
Since 1910 Salem Academy and Salem College have been maintained as separate
institutions, although under the same administrative head and the same trustees. Salem
College is now a member of the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of
the Southern States, thus attaining classification as an "A" class college.
This year, 1926-27, marks the one hundred and fifty-fifth year of unbroken
progress for Salem College. Her many alumnae retain their loyalty and love for their
Alma Mater, whose progress is assured and whose future, by the aid of their co-
operation, is sure to be marked by the same steady and wholesome growth that has
distinguished her history since colonial days.

"'Versatile"' sums up Sara about a:> well as
any one word could. Put her on the basket-
ball court and she is lightning itself (without
the thunder. she's too quiet) ; seat her at the
piano and she can perform the music of the
masters; or give her an experiment in the
chemistry lab., and shell usually get the cor-
rect "conclusion."

Mary's disposition is really surprising after
seeing her hair, for the latter is most as-
suredly fiery. She is a true Senior when it
comes to basketball — she plays like a profes-
sional in any position — but she is evidently
not very dependent on her own classmates
for her friend> !

Coming to us at the end of her Sophomore

She is quiet and unobtrusive, but she is con-
scientious and a steady worker.

Just exactly what Bessie would do without
Margaret we can not imagine, for these
Music-Senior room-mates are always to-
gether. Bessie's place in statistics shows what
we think of her looks, but let us just add
that she would be a dandy model for a
Pepsodent advertisement.

"Yea, Honey, I'll be glad to do it." That's
a welcome phrase} and "Loudi" always seems
to have it ready. How she manages to com-
mute from Kernersville each day is more than
most of us can fathom; but she does it — and
the extra wear on her strength certainly has
not been detrimental to her good disposition.
From the numerous and varied courses here
at Salem, Louise has chosen as her favorite
the '"Budget System." She believes in part-
nership!

Quiet as a mouse, she entered the Fresh*
man year. Slowly she has worked her way
through the courses, practising the difficult
things, overcoming the difficult things, play-
ing her own accompaniment. Yet with all
this quietness she makes her impression. The
only difference between Flora and a mouse
is that a mouse moves quickly.

Contrary as can be is "Firey," and she'll
take the opposite side of any question any
day. And that walk! We don't know what
it indicates, but we dare anyone to trv to
keep pace with her when she's in a hurry.

Virginia gets it; a goal! (Invariably) Fif-
teen rah's — Grirhn!

Since Lucile has not been right with us
all the year, we don't know her as well as
we'd like to. Xevertheless, the class in Edu-
cation 5-6 will certify that she is better pre-
pared to graduate than the rest of us. Why?
Simply because she already knows quite a
a good deal about teaching High School Eng-
lish. She may be another "Miss Mary" some
dav; who knows?

Oh, that we had Margaret's knack of put-
ting the work off on other folks! Just look
how much actual labor it lifts from her own
shoulders! They say such ability is the test
of a good executive, so Margaret is an able
leader of a Y, W. C. A. She can always see
the funny side to a question, and is the best
kind of company.

A good swap sure; for Randolph-Macon
got the worst end of the bargain when Lib
came to us. It's one thing to crab for your-
self and another to crab for your College:
Lib does the latter and we're glad for it.
The poor girl has had many jobs thrust
upon her, but she won't let anything be put
over on "Hepsy" — she's proved this as the
best Business Manager "The Salemite" has
ever had.

No name could be more fitting for Jane
Elizabeth than "Fats.*" She is always smiling,
sewing, or sleeping — of course, she eats oc-
casionally but she is usually dieting. Wher-
ever there is excitement you will find Fats
for, to quote her, she hates to 'miss a trick."
The fact that she uses her facial muscles
so much when she talks accounts for her
good complexion; and her classmates are be-
ginning to fear that "the skin you love to
touch" will be wrinkled with over-exercise
before many vears.

Conscientious? Well, that's no word for
it! '"Frank'* studies and practices continually,
and never has time for anything else. Still
she worries for fear she will make a mistake
at her piano lesson. Perhaps we can learn
conscientiousness from "Frank," but we ad-
vise her not to take things quite so seriously.

Without the "Chev" to come to school, and
that little brother to use as an illustration
in Psychology, goodness only knows how Lib
would fare in this world! When walking
she has the twist of authority, and when
speaking she has no fear of expressing her
own opinion. We guess she's a rather force-
ful creature after all!

They say that one person can't be in two
places at once; but if she's big enough, why
not? There are mighty few things happening
on Salem's campus about which Lardner does
not know every detail — and at least the bare
facts. Speaking of sunshine: well, she can
bring it and she's dandy company. Just don't
give her too much to do when she makes
her debut on the basketball court — she's too
perturbed to concentrate. Besides she must
have time to rest; she is such a delicate little
Salem girl, you know; the kind that must
drink a quart of milk every day!

Mildred is certainly one girl who has had
a well-rounded training at college. She's
mighty quiet about it all; but she has been
learning to keep house, to serve on a jurv,
to teach, to draw, and to do Y-Work. Conse-
quently she's always busy: but don't mention
"Busy Signs" to Mildred — she's too fond of
breaking them.

01' Marion, our Georgia Cracker.
We can always depend on to work.
Alreadv she has plans after college
And we think they are laid in New York.
She may appear mute and e'er humble;
But just prompt her, even one bit.
And you'll find that to make conversation
Her mind and her tongue are quite fit.

is too easily swayed in her opinions, but try
to get her to change her mind about Hollins —
she won't! From all outward appearances
we will have a covered swimming pool be-

A good figure; hair — short but thick; full

Dot would make a good orator, for she
demands attention when she speaks. How-
ever, judging from the sweaters she wears
under her robe we think she had better not

and a competent newspaper editor.

But she's like all the rest,
Who, save by request,

She can turn on her head like a ball ;
But the thing we regret
Is the fact, that e'en yet,
We scarcely know her at all.

Class Poem
DEAR SALEM, our gratitude ever
For service in years now long past ;
To souls that were striving to live well
Came goal high and purpose steadfast.
Through windows of mind and of spirit,
Through hallways of conscience and heart,
Shone clearly the light of true living;
Ideals which thou didst imparl.
Rays bright of life's sunshine and gladness,
Life's shadows of struggle and ill
Have shown to the daughters of Salem
The worth of high hope and strong will.
They learned, they have grown and been
strengthened
For paths that on earth they have trod.
Thus thou, Alma Mater, prepared them
To dwell in the temple of God.

History of Class of '27
FLOOD of glorious sunshine streamed down on Salem College, making
brighter the halls and class rooms of the buildings and the campus around,
on that eleventh day of September, nineteen twenty-three. What ap-
peared to be warm little sunbeams on closer inspection revealed themselves
■* to be the smiles on the happy faces of one hundred and eight freshmen,
eager to take up their work in a new kind of world. As the weeks passed the sunnj
smiles of some were veiled by cloudy frowns which bespoke their sinking feelings that
were hidden deep down in their hearts, and occasionally there were showers. But how
could all this last long when everyone did so much to bring back the sunshine into
the smiles so that it might remain there always.
Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler entertained at a reception. The Student Council gave
a baby party ; and was it not natural that babies should smile? Then the Juniors did
their part by giving a dance. Who could be solemn at a dance? And so, the one
hundred and eight freshmen were started out right on the sunshiny path of happiness
which led to knowledge. They studied hard, and entered into all the activities of the
college enthusiastically.
The next year when they returned from a vacation full of sunshine and good
times they brought some back with them. They knew almost everything because they
had studied so hard when they were freshmen. "Your sophomore year is your hardest,"
was the warning they received from all sides. Again brows grew dark and ominous
and noses were thrust into books (whenever anyone was around to mark the action).
It also behooved the hold, bad sophomores to make the lives of the freshmen sunnier.
This they accomplished, and went on their way. In May they entertained their sister
class, the seniors, at a picnic, and brought the year to a successful close.
As juniors they had so much to look forward to that they did not even have time
to frown. They were fewer in number, but their smiles were none the less bright, and
!>a„e fifty
they Werc not to be outshone. They entertained the freshmen, now a sister class, at a
dance in the "Hut." Their life after this was a round of dances, sandwiches, and
cold drinks, as they strove to make money for the "Junior-Senior" Banquet. When
the seniors presented them with their caps and gowns they were indeed happy.
And then the senior year! The sunshine in their hearts just would not be hidden,
except when they marched down the aisle of Memorial Hall to "sit on top of the
world," as it were. Then they alone will ever know whether it was dignity or fear
which kept them from smiling.
It was a joy to them to have their caps and gowns formally presented at "Hat-
Burning," to plant ivy, to hold "Senior Vespers," and to instil in the hearts of the
incoming girls the happiness which they themselves had found at Salem, and the love
which lay beneath this happiness.
And now with hearts ever light, and faces smiling they looked eagerly toward the
goal of the future.

Prophecy of Class of '27
The warmth of the fireside was a cheerful contrast to the dull and dreary out-of-
doors. A slight drizzle beat against the window panes with the monotonous ceaselessness
so characteristic of autumn days. The warmth of the fire and the sound of the rain
formed a resistless combination, so that I soon found myself drowsing in my easy
chair before the fire. Into my half-conscious mind there crept thoughts of school days
spent at Salem, of classmates, and of events that occurred during our four years there
together. The desire to be once again a school girl, strolling nonchalantly across the
square to Welfare's, was strong, and as I dreamed in the firelight, I thought of my
classmates and of what had become of them.
W e always were an independent group, utterly self-sufficient, and eager to be
individualistic and original. Therefore, the majority of my classmates became profes-
sional women, while very few of them married. We always thought Lucile Hart would
be a professional woman ; she was so capable about her school work. She was, however,
one of the first of our class to marry, and is living in Chattanooga. Lucile is a diligent
housekeeper, and I have heard that she and her husband are very happy. Lucile Carroll
is another who has married. Her husband is an electrical engineer, so they travel
about the country most of the time.
Soon after graduation, Ruth Pfohl joined the Westminster Choir and has sung
with them in most of the leading cities of the world. Her reputation is well known
in choir circles, and people flock to hear her sing. She also has an enviable reputation
as an artist's model, having posed for several famous paintings of the Madonna.
Bessie Clark and Margaret Hartsell have a fascinating apartment in Greenwich
Village. It is the central meeting place for a group of young musicians who are fast
becoming famous. Margaret specializes in concert work, while Bessie is a composer
belonging to the modern school. Her work is entirely futuristic and minor and all
that new sort of thing. Bessie and Margaret both say that they are practicing harder
now than they ever did during their days at Salem.
Speaking of apartments, Ruth Perkins has one in Paris. She has been over there
studying art for the past three years. Her talent, that showed up so well in Sights
and Insights, has developed a great deal, and Ruth is considered one of the most
promising of the younger American artists. Many critics say that her oil paintings are
worthy of being hung in the Luxemburg in Paris.
Only three of our class have become teachers. Mildred Mocmaw is teaching
home economics in a high school in Tennessee. She has recently published a book on
the value of Home Economics to a High School Student. Man- Buckner is teaching
physical education in a fashionable young ladies' school in New England. Her spe-
cialty is. of course, basketball, which she coaches during her spare time. Flora Eborn
is supervising the teaching of Public School Music in the graded schools of Chicago.
After leaving Salem she taught music for a few years, and finally accepted this respon-
sible position in Chicago.
It is hard to keep in touch with some members of the class. Their work is such
that they are constantly traveling about to various parts of the earth. Elizabeth
Lumpkin is president of a research society, and at present is in Tibet, studying the
natives, of that country, their habits and customs. Mignon Fordham is a buyer for the
American Tobacco Company. She has visited nearly all the countries where tobacco
is grown, and has had many varied experiences. Her headquarters are in Constanti-
nople. Laura Thomas, whose specialty at Salem was science, has become the head
chemist at the laboratory maintained in New York by the Federal Narcotic Squad.
Her work is concerned mainly with analysis, and she is known as an expert in this
line. Dorothy Siewers, who is a journalist in New York, says that she likes to talk
Page fifty-tvo
to Laura about her work because she knows so many thrilling and interesting tales.
Dot is writing short stories during her spare time. She already has had several pub-
lished, and is planning to leave the journalistic field soon.
Rachel Phillips and Elizaheth Hastings are the joint owners and directors of
a summer camp for girls in the Adirondacks. They have made a great success of their
camp and have enrolled each year many of the wealthiest children in the United States.
The B. S. training received at Salem has helped several of my class to find their
life work. Marion Neely is dietitian in a large hospital for children. Virginia Griffin
is proprietress of a tea room with which is combined a gift shop. Louise Culler is an
interior decorator and has a smart office in Washington. She specializes in antiques,
and is an authority on the subject. Recently she furnished a house in Washington
for a society leader who used to be Elizabeth Transou. Ever since her marriage Lib
has taken a leading part in Washington society.
Minnie Price is a financier. She became interested in stocks and bonds soon after
graduating, and is now a financial magnate. A. P. Shaffner turned to politics after
leaving school. She has already held several responsible government positions, and is
in line for rapid advancement. Thelma Firey is traffic director of the city of Boston.
She learned the rules of the game while driving her Buick around Winston-Salem
and has already solved some of the greatest traffic problems.
Isabel Wenhold is a dramatist. As a side line she writes poetry but drama is her
choice. Frances Jarratt is a composer. Together, Isabel and Frank have composed
a musical comedy which will soon be produced in New York. Rehearsals are under
way now. Miss Ruth Piatt is to have the leading dancing role, and Miss Jane Elizabeth
Hobgood, the comic one. Ruth has an international reputation as a dancer, and — I
ask you if "Fats" isn't about the most comical girl you ever saw! She has several
comic roles, and is well known as a good comedienne.
Jennie Wolfe and Sara Bell are conducting tours through Europe. They per-
sonally supervise every trip, and are most enthusiastic about their work. I seem to
be the only member of the class who has amounted to nothing. Perhaps some day I
shall ; but not until after I finish resting up from those four strenuous years spent at
Salem.

FIRST SEASON
JUNE clear, sunny day in early September of the year 1924, Old Salem
welcomed into her big, happy family, one hundred and forty-eight strang-
ers, the future class of '28. We felt very small and ignorant, that first
day, and perhaps even a little frightened, but our faces shone with happi-
ness, and our hearts were swelled with pride ; for, were we not real college
freshmen? Probation seemed a little hard at first, but the chaperones were so obliging
and seemed so anxious to serve us that we could not feel sad for very long. Besides,
there were all sorts of affairs arranged for our entertainment, parties, picnics, and
many other pleasant things. Before Thanksgiving, because of our good behaviour,
probation was lifted, the Council giving us a party to celebrate. Thanksgiving Day
was a great occasion to which we looked forward for many weeks. We had high
hopes of winning the Welfare cup at basketball, but the sophomores defeated us, and
were in turn overcome by the seniors. The day culminated in its crowning event, the
banquet which is a bright memory for all of us. Christmas vacation was the next
ray of sunshine, and after that, we experienced a short period of terror and gloom —
exam week. That ordeal over, we emerged into the sunlight again, and for the rest
of the year, our days were filled with alternating periods of work and play.
SECOND SEASON
Sophomores ! Could it be true ? Yes, for we were being welcomed back to Salem
as old girls, and behind us was one whole year of experience. We very soon learned
to walk around with the casual air of upper-classmen, and looked down on the new
girls with a feeling of infinite superiority. We felt a little self-conscious at first, es-
pecially when in chapel we took the side benches instead of those in the centre. We
soon settled down to the task of being sophomores in earnest, and to the responsibilities
which that position involved. The brightest memory of this year centres around
Thanksgiving Day basketball games ; for, this time we won the victory and the cup
was ours. We had a share, this year, in the beautiful and impressive ceremony of
senior hat-burning, which none of us can ever forget.
THIRD SEASON
Junior days, though sunny still, bring heavier responsibilities and a more serious
attitude toward college life. We feel a new dignity and prestige, and our place in
college activities assumes greater importance than ever before, for we must look for-
ward to being the future leaders in those activities. Then too, this year brings the
junior-senior banquet, and we are to be hostesses. With our thoughts and efforts
concentrated on this great event, we are hard at work, for it must be a success. As
the term draws to a close, another great occasion stands out. The seniors are passing
on, and as they go, they hand down to us their high position, their dignity, their in-
fluence, and — which seems not the least important — their caps and gowns, junior days
are by.sy days, but they are sunny, happy days as well.
College life brings its light and its shadows, its sunshine, its tears. We like to
forget the sadness which every season must bring, and let our memories dwell only
on the brightest experiences. For our class the bright memories are very many, and,
like the old sun-dial, "we count only the hours that shine."

Sophomore Class History-
it was in the fall of 1926. Back campus was a scene of great merriment, for
Salem was having a picnic, and a Salem picnic, as we all know, is a delightful affair.
The lights gleamed on the white dresses of a line of girls, who marched singing, and
formed, one by one, the letters S-A-L-E-M.
"Who are the ones who march so well and sing so beautifully?" asked the
Tallest Poplar, which stands beside the path.
"Why, they are the Sophomores," said the Littlest Poplar, "and I think that
their stunt will win the prize."
The Littlest Poplar spoke truly, for the Sophomores did win the prize, and
received as reward an enormous box of lollypops.
"Oh, the Sophomores," said the Tallest Poplar. "They won the Volley Ball tour-
nament last year. They were not successful in the Thanksgiving Basketball game,
but they put up a good fight — and that's something."
The Tallest Poplar is fond of athletics and always has the latest sport news,
probably received from the birds.
"What are you two talking about?" rustled the Elm, which stands near the
tennis-courts and can see almost everything that happens.
"The Sophomores," answered the Tallest Poplar. "Do you know who they are?"
"Of course I do," said the Elm. "I know all about them. They were very good
Freshmen, though green, and they are better Sophomores, though knowing."
"I know the Sophomores too," said a little Maple timidly. "Do you see those
girls coming up the path? One of them is Lillyan Newell, she was their class president
last year. The one with her is Margaret Hauser, who is their president this year."
"Yes, I know them both," said the Tallest Poplar. "Everyone knows the
Sophomores."
The picnic was over. The lights were turned out, and the trees on the campus
were left to rustle unheard.

History of the Freshman Class
N SEPTEMBER 15, 1926, one hundred and fifty-one freshmen from
various sections of the United States entered Salem College. With them
came the usual spirit and "pep" of girls just out of preparatory or high
schools. But the great questions were: "What is college like? Is it very
different from high school? Will we have to work hard?" And it is cer-
tain that the freshmen soon found out what they wished to know!
Of course, the surroundings and people were all new to most of the girls, but
Salem is such a wonderful place that it requires only a short time to become adapted
to everything here. Within the course of a week or two the freshmen became a part
of the "Salem Family," and a great addition (in numbers) they were to that body.
Freshman Week consisted of songs on the terrace every night ; parties given by
the Freshman Week Committee, Y. W. C. A., and Sophomores; a picnic supper given
by the Seniors, and an automobile ride around Winston-Salem. This week of festiv-
ities kept the green, young freshies from becoming homesick at the beginning of
their college career. The sophomores compelled each freshman to wear a green ribbon
around her neck and to pin her name and "where she hailed from" on her dress. No
front doors of the buildings could be used, for the upper-classmen were always on
the lookout to punish those who disobeyed this law. All this was much fun, and the
freshmen were good sports about it.
At Salem, freshmen are on probation from the beginning of the session as long
as the Council deems necessary. For the class of 1930, probation lasted until Novem-
ber 22, at 10:00 P. M., at which time the Student Council gave a party to announce
that the freshmen had all of their privileges. There was much rejoicing, especially
among the Seniors and council members who had been so faithful about taking their
charges to town and church.
The freshmen boasted of having the second best basketball team. They even
played in the finals, but not being able to defeat their sisters, the juniors, they lost
very gracefully.
Soon after Thanksgiving the following class officers were elected :
President — Virginia Martin
Vice-President — Margaret Sells
Secretary — Athena Campourakis
Treasurer — Grace Martin
Historian — Carrie Hibbler Jones
Class Teacher — Miss Pfohl
The class of 1930 is ever loyal to Salem and to the Purple and White.

The Student Self-Government Association is the largest association on the cam-
pus, because even- student is a member of it. The purpose of the organization is to
develop self-control in the students, and to instill in them the highest principles of
honor and self-development. It is formed upon comradeship in its genuine form.
loyalty in every phase of college life, and aspirations to a higher and greater goal.
Having these upon which to build, the association is now attempting to achieve by
a co-operative spirit, that which even institution sets forth as an ideal — a pure Honor
System.
A great step has been made this year at Salem by the off-campus students becoming
members of the association, thus realizing more fully the goal of a co-operative spirit
throughout the college.
The executive powers of the organization are embodied in two Student Councils;
one consisting of off-campus students and the other of on-campus students. These two
Councils work separately in matters peculiar to each, but together they work in a joint
Council to consider questions relating to student life as a whole, and to act upon
serious problems referred to them by either of the Councils.
The On-Campus Council is composed of the president, nvo vice-presidents, and
four representatives from the Senior Class; the secretary, and treasurer, and three rep-
resentatives from the Junior Class; and from the Sophomore and Freshman Classes
there are three representatives each. The house-presidents serve as members of the
Council, and the president of the Y. W. C. A. is an honorary member.
The Off-Campus Council consists of a president, two vice-presidents, a secretary
and treasurer; two representatives from the Senior Class, two from the Junior Class,
nvo from the Sophomore, and two from the Freshman Class.

"I Represent Salem" is a significant slogan for an organization initiated for the purpose
of increasing loyalty and fidelity to the college. This movement was started five years ago
at Salem, and includes the entire student body in its membership. To represent Salem means
to do so in appearances, conduct, morals and social usage; thus showing respect for its highest
ideals and standards.
This organization is also known as "Social Forum," and such it has truly grown to be
through the earnest efforts of Miss Stipe. She has encouraged the presentation of attractive
programs of social usages, and has offered valuable aid in carrying out the fundamental purpose
and ideals of I. R. S.
Each year girls from the four college classes have been elected to a committee which
functions as an executive board of the organization. These girls strive to live up to the ideals
of Social Forum, and to act as an influence to other members of the student body to be daughters
of whom Salem may well be proud.

All members of the Student Body and of the College Faculty are members of
the ^ oung Women's Christian Association. This organization reaches every person
on the campus in various ways, and desires to help each one from the very beginning
of the school term to the close of the collegiate rear.
\\ hen school opens in September, the Cabinet girls meet all trains and extend
a welcome to both new and old girls. This year the "Y" girls wore blue dresses and
triangle arm bands, and were affectionately known as "the girls in blue."
The Cabinet holds weekly meetings and the association's meetings are vesper
services each Sunday afternoon at six o'clock in the living room of the Alice Clewell
Building. These services consist of hymns, readings or talks, devotionals, and special
music, which is a major part of these inspiring meetings. At intervals, during the col-
lege year, organ recitals are given under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. At this type
of service, all lights, except the organ light, are extinguished, and the effect is very
beautiful.
Evening watch is held on each floor of the dormitories even night except Saturday
and Sunday. Watch, which begins at the close of study hour, is devoted to singing
and prayer, and is a fitting close for the day.
The social service committee of the "Y" has been very active this year. Twice
a month, representatives from the association go to the Salem Home and to the Or-
phanage. At Christmas time boxes of toys and clothing are sent to mountain schools
and to the orphanages of the city.
The college association cooperates with the Y. W. C. A. of Winston-Salem, by
taking part in its activities, such as teaching the industrial girls at the night schools.
The "\ " looks after the social life at school by giving teas and parties throughout
the year. I ea is served every afternoon during examination week.
"Last but not least" there is the "Y" store where girls may come after a long
study hour to get candies, cakes, and other good things to eat. This has proved to be
a very popular place.

The Home Economics Club, organized in nineteen hundred and nineteen, is one
of the oldest and most active departmental clubs at Salem. The purposes of this club
are to have a social organization of all those interested in Home Economics, and to
establish a practice house in place of the inadequate apartment now being used by
the Home Economics Seniors each year; for a period of six weeks.
This organization now has a membership of seventy-five from the student body
and faculty, which is the first requirement for membership in the State -Association.
The programs are interesting and instructive. The meetings which are held
twice each month consist of addresses by those who are authorities on questions con-
cerning the household. Sometimes a social hour takes the place of the customary meeting.

Who wants to know what the History Club is, and what it does? It is a club
which was organized four years ago for the benefit of all those girls who would take
a genuine interest in the meetings. In previous years it has been customary to secure
out of town speakers who have given the club members vivid pictures of their travels
in Egypt, Russia, India, and even in the jungles of Africa. This year in one-half of
the meetings there will be prominent speakers and in the other meetings every student
will take part. There will be contests which will greatly improve the historical and
geographical knowledge of all those members and visitors who will attend. The mem-
bership is open to all college students. Come and make the history of the History
Club for this vear better than it has ever been before.

"The Pierrette Players" was organized two years ago with a double purpose in
view — to make the club entertaining as well as educational. Because of its two-fold
aim. and because of its membership limitations, it is indeed an honor to be a Player.
Meetings are held the first and third Thursdays of each month, at which time
a program of varied interest is presented. Famous plays are read and discussed, and
brief one-act plays are often acted by members of the club. During the school year,
plays are presented to the public in Memorial Hall, and members are given the op-
portunity to coach in their own play.
Those students who are particularly interested in dramatics are given the chance
to "try-out." and those who display the best dramatic ability are asked to join the
"Pla"Vers." Students interested in writing plays are also encouraged, and if their
work proves satisfactory, are asked to join.

The Societas Scientiarum Salemensis, the society of the sciences at Salem, was or-
ganized in September, 1924, by a group of students interested specifically in science.
The constitution of the organization says that "the general object of this society shall
be to unite all students of science in concerted action for the advancement of scientific
knovvledge." The active membership is limited to twenty-four members. Each person,
to become a member, must have passed two courses in science, and must pursue a
scientific subject throughout her college course. It is considered an honor to be able
to obtain and retain membership in this organization.
The meetings are held bi-monthly at which time the members present something
of scientific interest in the way of demonstrations and lectures. During the year several
trips are taken to places of interest in and around the city.

The MacDowell Club has as its purpose wholesome entertainment for the college
community. Since its organization at Salem in 1919 the club has endeavored to pro-
mote programs of a social and cultural nature which should not be unworthy of the
man for whom the club was named — Edward MacDowell, the greatest of American
composers. At one time Mrs. MacDowell presented an interesting program of her
husband's compositions. Other types of entertainment, including scenes from famous
novels, community singings, picnics and readings have been sponsored by the club.
Since the purchase of a moving picture machine in 1922 most of the entertainments
have been "Movies." However the club has presented other programs of a more cul-
tural value. Through co-operation with the Pierrette Players a number of interesting
plays have been staged. Other programs of a varied nature have been successfully
presented from time to time.

Fire Department
Fire Chief, Lardner McCarty
Although the Fire Department is one of the least used organizations at Salem,
yet it is one of the most efficient. Only once during the past year did the department
have an opportunity for doing active service during a real fire. One day last spring,
the Science building caught on fire. Among the students there was an immediate rush
to reach the scene of the conflagration. The result was that some girls got so close
to the burning building that they endangered their lives as well as hindered the efforts
of the City firemen who already had the fire under control. The members of the
Salem fire department kept curious girls from coming too close to the building, pro-
cured extra fire extinguishers from other buildings, and by forming a line, helped to
save valuable pamphlets and books.
Co-operation is the keyword of this organization. It expects, and receives, the co-
operation and enthusiastic support of every college student. Rules governing fire
drills are strict and inviolable. A fine is imposed upon those students who carelessly
or wilfully neglect to attend drills. The working force of the fire department is com-
posed of one chief, thirteen captains, and thirteen first lieutenants. These girls are
chosen from the student body and are held responsible for the conduct of students
during fire drills.

Le Cercle Franeais
Ruth Piatt President
Letitia Cl'RRIe Vice-President
Rachel Phillips Secretary and Treasurer
With the manifold purposes of developing fluency in speaking French, and pro-
moting a greater familiarity with the literature of France, Le Cercle Franeais was
organized several years ago.
The students who are eligible for membership in this club are those who are
majoring in the French language, underclassmen who are admitted according to their
proficiency in the study, faculty members interested in French, and teachers in the
modern language department.
The club holds its regular meeting the second Wednesday of each month in the
living room of Alice Clewell Building.
The programs each year have become more interesting and more diversified in
subject as the club has developed. The most important figures in French literature are
discussed at each meeting. The members learn something of the life, the character,
and the works of these men in the talks which are made in French by some of the
students. Each student participates in the program at least once a year. Aside from
the regular program, the members answer the roll with proverbs in French or with
quotations from French literature, songs are sung and poems are recited. At some
meetings dramatizations of well known plays lend variety and entertainment to the
program.
Through the constant endeavor of the members under the greatly appreciated guid-
ance of the faculty members of the Foreign Language Department and through the
hearty co-operation of each member, the standards of the club are being improved and
developed.

The Mathematics Club, the youngest club on the campus, was organized last
year by a group of students interested in the cultural and vocational aspects of mathe-
matics. Every effort is being made to make this a permanent organization, to increase
those standards of the club which will produce an all-round development in the social
and intellectual life of Salem.
The well-attended monthly meetings, which include interesting outside speakers
as well as practical demonstrations of applied mathematics, portray the loyal Salem
spirit.

The purpose of the Glee Club is to train girls in chorus singing, and to prepare
appropriate music for special school functions. The personnel of the Club is made up
of those taking some phase of the music course, but anyone who wishes may become
a member. The Christmas Carol Concert, which is a free performance and one open
to the public, is an established custom at Salem. This year the concert was made
doubly effective by the wearing of white vestments.
Soon after the beginning of the second semester work is begun on an operetta to
be presented in the Spring. This year The Castaway, a comedy with its scene laid
in the South Sea Isles, has been chosen.

Basketball is Salem's major sport. The girls have always shown more interest
in basketball than in any other of the many sports. This year enthusiasm has been
unusually high which is an excellent indication that the games on Thanksgiving will
be faster and peppier than ever before. Training was started at an early date and the
plavers have shown an admirable spirit of co-operation by keeping all of the rules
faithfully.
We feel that we have been unusually fortunate in securing Mr. Harry Long
for our head coach. His thorough understanding of the game enables him to develop
many technical points which add greatly to the beauty of the playing. The wonderful
spirit of the players combined with the splendid coaching of Mr. Long are making
this season of basketball the most successful one that Salem has ever known.

For the past several years volley ball has been one of the popular out-of-door
sports for which much keen interest has been shown. The game is played in the fall
when it is too cold to play baseball or hockey, and when the air is just invigorating
enough to have a game full of pep and action.
During the last two years there have been only two teams, the Freshmen against
the Upper-Classmen, but both years the games were very exciting. Last year the
Freshmen won the first of the three final games which were to be played. The Upper-
Classmen won the second. Then came a most exciting game in which both teams
showed the results of skillful training and hard practice. Unfortunately, however,
for the Upper-Classmen, the Freshmen were victorious.
Although volley ball is a young sport compared with the other sports at Salem,
it is growing by leaps and bounds. Here's to a bigger and better volley ball season
this year!
Page fine hundred eighteen
Tennis is one of the most popular of American sports, and is certainly prominent
at Salem. It is a game that every girl may enter and enjoy, for though it is exciting
enough to make us forget our cares and worries, it is not too strenuous. This year
many of the girls are taking advantage of the tennis classes which are held twice a week,
and are improving their technique and form. Although there is no fall tournament
there is a great deal of enthusiasm for the opening of the one to he held in the spring.
A large number of girls have entered the class tournaments and the winners of these
will compete for the college championship. There is always a great deal of excite-
ment toward the end, to see who will be the winner — and with the many girls who
practice every day, there will be sufficient competition for any champion.

Although archery is not considered a major sport at Salem, it is one in which much
interest is manifested. The rivalry between the four classes is always keen, and the final
struggle for the archen supremacy is one of the big events at Field Dav.
Last year Rachel Phillips won the championship, but this year she will have to
defend her title better than Jack Dempsey defended his if she wishes to be hailed
again as our chief Diana!

Track and baseball are the sister sports of the springtime, and they are as invigorat-
ing as a tonic. Track has become such a popular sport that it is hardly thought of as
a minor one. Each year finds it playing a greater part in the athletic activities of the
school. Last spring was the fifth great year of track at Salem. Everybody was enthus-
iastic about practices and full of "pep." for all eyes were set on Field Day when the
Salem Nurmi was to make herself known.
Field Day came on May the third, and every girl was out on the field determined
to be the high point scorer of the day. Then too. was not this the time of all times
to win those few points that were lacking for an "S" or for a Salem sweater? Lib
Ramsaur was the star of the meet, but her runner-ups were only a little behind her.
Ramsaur will have to hustle to hold her place for there is a real spirit of competition
this year with the new girls, the new apparatus, and the new athletic directors.
On your mark! Get set! Let's go! for the best year ever of track at Salem!

Swimming is one of the sports at Salem College which everyone enjoys. We regret
that the pool is not enclosed so swimming cannot be an "all year-round sport." Late
into the fall, and in the very early spring, however, the girls take advantage of the
lovely pool.
This year has started out with much enthusiasm and great interest in the swim-
ming activities, and we hope to make it the best year in the history of swimming. A
contest for distance swimming is held in the fall, and an enthusiastic meet is held in the
spring, with fancy diving, plunge for distance, and the fifty and hundred yard dashes.
We are in hope that some of Salem College amateurs might derive inspiration
from the swimming here, and enter the very collegiate contest of swimming the English
Channel.

In the spring the young girl's fancy seriously turns to baseball. Every afternoon
from four until five the baseball diamond is full of girls, all vieing for the honor of
becoming a second "Babe Ruth" or a second Walter Johnson. Every girl is busy and
who wouldn't be busy when Mr. Harry Long is busily coaching them in the ethics of the
game.
Last year there were only two teams but this year there are certainly going to be
four teams and each class will be represented.
Baseball is a fine sport, a good way of working off surplus energy and surplus
avoirdupois. Everybody come out, get up a good appetite for the picnic supper that
follows the game and who knows but that some girl may startle the world with her
ability as a baseball player, even more so than Babe Ruth?

With the change in the point system this year, hockey has been made one of the
three major sports. The season begins as soon as the basketball season closes, at Thanks-
giving. It is the winter sport which requires lots of pep and energy to keep warm.
Hockey requires more players than any other sport. On account of this, more
girls are given the chance to make the team and thereby get points. We feel sure
that there will be many out from each class because even- girl wants to win enough
points to get a blanket.
Last season a banquet was given, at the close of the season, for the plavers. At
that time, a loving cup was given to the Athletic Association by the Faculty of 1924.
This season will be the eighth one for hockey at Salem. We feel sure that with
the co-operation of every class, this year will be our most enthusiastic and successful one.

Everyone should hike. It is an ideal sport. It requires no skill or practice, for
if you are able to put one foot before the other in rapid succession you are a natural-
born hiker, and the thing for you to do is to join the Salem Hiking Club.
No other sport is quite as adaptable as hiking. If you want to reduce — hike;
if you want to gain — hike. Hiking helps you to keep that schoolgirl complexion ; hiking
corrects pigeon-toes and knock-knees.
If you wish to take advantage of any of the opportunities mentioned above — hike.
If you don't, there is something wrong with you and you should hike anyway in order
to restore yourself to normalcy.

This is the first year that we have had horseshoe pitching among the sports at
Salem. We feel that it is a sport in which even girl can participate. It is not strenuous ;
therefore, the girl who has a weak heart or any other physical disability may enjoy it.
It is sufficiently intricate to appeal to the most scholarly student, and yet. with a certain
amount of application, even the most shallow minded of us mav learn it.
Besides all this, it is a new sport. This fact alone should appeal to every girl. The
lustre has not as yet been worn oft. This means that now is the time for even girl to
come out and learn the game before somebody else gets a start on her.

Even though soccer is the youngest sport at Salem, having been installed in lc*2b.
it has-made quite a hit. Soccer certainly has a kick in it. as any one of the players
can show you by her bruised knees and scraped shins, which are not soon forgotten.
Soccer is one of the youngest and one of the most enjoyable sports at Salem. Now
that it has started the girls are very enthusiastic over it. since it gives a perfectly legiti-
mate excuse for kicking — the ball. At Salem soccer stands for vigor, enthusiasm and pep.

The Dean, with all her troubles;
But after storms, the rainbow comes,
And they vanish all like bubbles.

The names of victims — we won't tell
But the Faculty know whom he chooses.

The New "Alma Mater"
Various attempts have been made in the course of the years to establish a new
"Alma Mater" at Salem ; one that would be distinctive to the college in both words
and music, and one that all students and alumnae would learn and enjoy singing. This
year a contest, approved by the student body, has been conducted by the Order of the
Scorpion for the writing of an original college song. The contest has not been closed
as yet, and everyone hopes that it will bring a lasting "Alma Mater" of which Salem
may be proud in any college gathering.
The Salemite
This weekly paper published by a staff selected from the student body serves as
a diary for even1 girl. Its columns contain events, jokes, current topics, open forum
articles, and sometimes a little gossip. Its editorial sections are well worth reading,
and its exchange column is always interesting.
The Daisy Chain
This feature of commencement adds greatly to the beauty and significance of the
exercises. When the Seniors drop the daisy chain from their shoulders the act sym-
bolizes the severing of college ties. It is fitting that the daisy should be used, since
it is the college flower.
The Orchestra
Under Miss Read's direction the college orchestra stays in preparedness and good
form. It appears on various occasions during the year at evening recitals, and often
furnishes music for college banquets and parties.
Cheer Up, Juniors!
If you find a Junior's blue
I can tell you what to do:
Just lend a little smile, and then some cheer,
For from early in September
She works hard until December,
And then she keeps it up straight through the year.
Besides her usual studies
She, with all her class-room buddies,
Has to usher, ring the bell, and alwavs labor.
Though love-sick, there is no time
For her to sit alone and pine.
Besides, they say, vjork gives to life its savor.
The Alumnae Record
The Alumnae Record is sent periodically to all subscribing alumnae in order
to keep them in touch with college activities and to serve as a means of exchange of
important and interesting notes.

Miss Mary Elizabeth Meinung,
How many loyal Salem girls remember with pleasure the dear lady whose honored
name stands at the head of this paragraph! They will be glad to read, not her memoir
for she is still bright and living, but to hear a little more about her.
Miss Mary, as everybody calls her, was born in Salem, November 15, 1845.
Herself a pupil of the Academy, she began her long career as a teacher in planters'
homes, as the custom used to be. Then she came back to the Academy where she
taught for ten years. Then she entered with patient and loving service in the growing
Library of the college, where for thirty years she continued. If a painter wanted to
present a picture of the virtue which we call "Faithfulness" he would only need to
get a photograph of the dear lady of whom we are writing and name his portrait
"Faithfulness," and underneath simply insert in golden letters: Miss Mary, and
everybody would recognize the truth of the picture.

Will the Dean Ever Come Home?
The Dean, he's gone and he's left us
All over this wide world to roam;
He'j gone and he's left a good college.
He's gone and he's left a good home.
Last month we wrote him a letter
And asked him to come home again;
But the Doctor just got back an answer.
And this is what he said to him:
"When Charlie stops courting Miss Willis,
And Roy stays home once a week:
When you and Vardell stop your joking
And making of chapel a freak ;
When Salem has grown to one thousand.
And the Seniors can sing on the key ;
When you forget '"co-operation,"
Then. Howard, 111 come back to thee.''
The Halls
"Main Hall" is our place for all classe-.
"South Hall" for Academy lassies.
"Memorial's"' a place.
Not for beauty nor grace.
But for practice, and speeches for masse?.
Two "dorms" must come into this rhyme
But they're names that together won't chime.
Ah. at last ! with "variety"
Rhymes that word "Society,"
AnoVthen "Lehman" fill? in in good time.
Mr. Buri\iv;e
Yes, Mr. Burrage can talk all right, but
he can do many other things too. If he had
an official title it would probably be Head
Carpenter; but every girl who stays at Salem
long enough to become a Senior learns to
know Mr. Burrage and to value him as the
general utility man.
Old "Gym"
Old "Gym" in a way has come back.
He was a Hut. but now, nh alack!
He's again used for cla^e-.
And for five dancing lassies
So his best name this vear is "the shack.'

Mrs. Rondthaler
If there is any one person on this campus who brings sunshine to others, and is
a real sunbeam, that person is Mrs. Rondthaler. For several years she has been called
the "Senior Friend," but we like it more general than that, for she is everybody's
friend. All troubles are carried to her, and she patiently listens to many and varied
stories. However complex they may be she is always sympathetic, encouraging, and
ready with a solution. She is truly a "Sunbeam" for us.
Hints to Next Year's Editor
It takes more than ability to edit a book
That contains all the matters at college;
There are all kinds of things that "the boss" needs to know
Which aren't given in plain oV book knowledge.
Don't waste any time while you're planning your book,
Choose your staff, and then get right to work,
(The preceding March is the time to begin)
But don't dare let a one of them shirk.
You can never perform all the tasks by yourself
So for heaven's sake, don't even try it !
But remember it's best to be able to "type"
For you might sometime have to apply it.
Plan to call the "P. O." your official abode,
Make friends with our Diogenes,
For to him you must go when long hours are done
And say, "Open the door for me, please."
If the book's a success you must bear this in mind
That the college gets lots of the credit.
And the girls will all boast of its beauty and charm
Though half of them never once read it.
You'll do most of the work, I can tell you right now,
And if mention is made of your name,
I warn you, 'tis sad, but 'tis horribly true;
They won't praise you — you'll get all the blame!

'Sam':
The Value of a Smile
The thing that goes the farthest toward making life worth while
That costs the least, and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
The smile that bubbles from the heart, that loves its fellowmen
Will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the sun again.
It's full of worth, and goodness, too, with human kindness blent,
It's worth a million dollars — and it doesn't cost a cent.
There is no room for sadness where we see a cherry smile;
It always has the same good look — it's never out of style;
It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue;
The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you.
li pays a higher interest, for it is merely lent
It'v worth a million dollars — and it doesn't cost a cent.
A smile comes easily enough, a twinkle in the e\e
Is natural — and does more good than any long-drawn sigh!
It touches on the heartstrings till they quiver blithe and long,
And always leaves an echo that is very like a song.
So — smile away!
Folks understand what by a smile is meant;
It'v worth a million dollars — and it doesn't cost a cent.
— Wilbur D. Nesbit.

Founder's Day
On February the third, of each year, Salem celebrates her birthday anniversary,
and this year, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, tolled the one hundred and fifty-
fifth birthday of our Alma Mater. During Chapel Services, Students, and visiting
Alumnae were told something of the history of our college; during the afternoon
hours Salem's Museum was opened to the public; and the day was closed with a banquet
attended by the Students, members of the Faculty, the Trustees, Friends, and the
Alumnae of Salem, followed by a meeting of the Alumnae Association in the beautiful
campus living room of Alice Clewell Building.
Senior Christmas Carols
Hark! the sound of Christmas music
Cuts the clear December air,
See! the light of many candles
Pierce the darkness, here and there.
'Tis the Seniors carolling
To tell the Christmas message o'er
In the good old English fashion
Singing songs from door to door.
Faculty Play
This year tense excitement ran riot, for fully two weeks, over the advent of
the Faculty Play. Various and sundry were the weird mystic noises issued from the
domain of the English Department. What was happening to our faculty? The night
of presentation finally arrived, and the auditorium was thronged with the eager excited
faces of the students.
Needless to say, the lamentable tragedy of Julius Caesar, "rewritten, revised,
authorized, and supervized by the Faculty," was a production of stupendous and un-
paralleled success.
Class Day
Not the least beautiful and impressive of the Commencement exercises, is Senior
Class Day, which takes place after the alumnae luncheon on the day before Com-
mencement. Class Day at Salem has always been a ceremony of great beauty and
charm, for it has a perfect setting in the lower campus, which in June is at its loveliest.
The Class Day masque or pageant usually has some motive in keeping with the thought
of Commencement and of graduation. Around this central theme, the presentation
is built, made colorful and attractive with the addition of songs, dances and bright
costumes. For the Seniors, therefore, the natural sadness which the thought of Com-
mencement brings, is tempered with pleasure in the presentation of their charming
and beautiful Class Day exercises.

For many years there has been no celebration of May Day at Salem. This day
at other colleges is a great event, and an occasion for presenting an elaborate masque over
which reigns the chosen May Queen. This year. May Day is one of the important
events on the Salem Calendar. Much interest has been shown in the choosing of the
Queen and in the preparations for the May Day celebration. It is to be hoped that
this beautiful ceremony will become traditional at Salem, and as charming an occasion
as Senior Hat-Burning, or Class Day.

One of the biggest social events of the whole year is the Junior-Senior Prom or
Banquet. The Juniors, as hostesses, begin long before to work and plan for the affair.
The Seniors, who are the guests, look forward to being entertained in some original,
wholly, and delightful way. The plans are developed on a most elaborate scale; all
ingenuity and inventiveness is called into play, and no thought or energy is spared ;
for the "prom" must be a success. It always is a success, a beautiful and artistic en-
tertainment which brings to Juniors and Seniors a sense of delight and satisfaction,
and to Sophomores and Freshmen, bright anticipations for the future.
The Senior Dinner
The Senior Dinner is a very exclusive affair to which only members of the class
are invited. This is the last time that the Seniors are together for fun and frolic, so
that the occasion has a sad as well as a happy significance. After the dinner, it is the
custom for those girls who are soon to be married, to run around the table. This
amusTng ceremony affords opportunity for the showering of good wishes on the happy
brides-to-be, and brings the evening to a pleasant close.

Freshman Week
This year "Freshman Week" was inaugurated at Salem, and the first days of
the collegiate vear were devoted entirely to green young Freshmen. First of all these
lower classmen were made to feel that they were a part of Salem and that their Alma
Mater was expecting them to uphold the standard of her proud spirit. Rides, picnics,
parties and dances were given for them and the first week of school did. indeed, involve
both old and new students with the spirit of eagerness, determination, and enthusiasm
to give to Salem the very best of themselves.
Hat Burning,
One of the most beautiful events of the college year is the occasion of Hat Burning.
The exercises take place on the spacious terraces of upper campus where a huge bonfire
is lit. The Seniors dance around the fire into which they slowly discard their paper hats.
This occasion is symbolic of the loss of frivolity and the assumption of Senior dignity.
Each Sophomore sister then decks her Senior sister with cap and gown which the
stately Senior wears throughout the remaining months of happy college life.
Young, People's Meetings
Young People's Meeting, or more familiarly known to the college student as
"Y. P. M.", is an expanded chapel hour which comes each Wednesday morning from
eleven until twelve o'clock. During this period every factor concerning student life
and activity here at Salem is discussed. Often, however, the members of the student
body are privileged to hear someone from out of town, who, being an authority in his
particular field, presents a topic of universal interest to each college girl.
Ivy and Tree Planting
Each Senior Class, before leaving Salem, plants as a memorial of its four college
years, a spray of ivy and a tree. The planting is accompanied by an impressive ceremony
in which the tree and the ivy are dedicated, and a wish is expressed that they may
grow and flourish, to add to the beauty of the campus, and to keep green the memory
of the Senior Class.
The Christmas Party
The annual Christmas party held a few nights before the holidays begin is per-
haps the most successful entertainment of the year. Alter dinner everybody gathers
in the gaily decorated living room, around the huge Christmas tree heavily ladened
with gifts to each of which is attached a little verse that Santa reads aloud as he
presents the gift. Then ambrosia and fruit cake are served, and everybody, filled with
the Christmas spirit combined with Salem spirit, declares this party the best of them all.
Viujf lute hundred thirty-six
Senior Christmas Vespers
One of the most beautiful of the old customs observed at Salem, is the Christmas
vesper service, held in the library, on the Sunday afternoon before college closes for
the holidays. The service is always led by Dr. Rondthaler, and is most impressive.
The beautiful old Christmas carols are sung, and, at the close of the service, the
Seniors give to each person present, a lighted candle, as a symbol of the light which
came into the world with the birth of Christ.
Evening, Watch
Just before light bell rings at night, the girls on the different halls assemble at
an appointed place for Evening Watch. The purpose of this Watch is to give a
spiritual benediction to the day and to the events of the day.
The leader of Watch reads several selected verses from the Bible and the girls
sing hymns. After this, they are dismissed, and they go to their respective rooms.
With them goes a feeling of peace and reverence, which guides and inspires them in
future life and work.
Thanksgiving, Games
Thanksgiving is one of the "red letter" days at Salem, for on this day comes
the anticipated annual clash between the basketball teams of the four Classes. Class
spirit probably runs highest at this time than at any other time of the year, for basketball
is Salem's major sport, and wild and furious are the cheers spurring each team on
to victory. This year the Juniors and Sophomores were the first classes to play, followed
by the Seniors and the Freshmen. The runners-up were the red-jerseyed Juniors and
the wily young Freshmen. All of the games created true spirit and sportsmanship on
the part of both the spectators and of the players. The Juniors, however, again proved
their basketball prowess by winning the final game.
The Blue Richie Conference
In June of every year Salem sends her representatives to the Student Conference
at Blue Ridge, North Carolina. These representatives, selected from the various or-
ganizations and classes of the college, attend discussion groups, and interesting and
instructive lectures at Blue Ridge. The influence of these students' attendance of the
conference is widely felt on the campus the following year.
Bishop at Easter
Again at Easter the Chapel hours are devoted to Bishop Rondthaler who makes the
beautiful Lenten Season even more dear to our hearts by his glowing, vivid word
pictures of the life, the death, and the glorious resurrection of our Lord on that
glorious Easter Morn.
Page one hundred thirty-seven
Transfer of Caps and Gowns
In the few short hours remaining before commencement the Seniors realize that
all the symbols of their stately dignity must be conferred upon the incoming Senior
Class. A brief exercise is held, at which time the Seniors hand to the Juniors their
caps and gowns, and the future Seniors who have longed the entire year for this par-
ticular taste of dignity waste no time in displaying their borrowed finery, and ride
throughout the city heralding their near achievement of Seniorhood.
Chapel
Preceding all daily tasks at Salem, one half hour is donated each morning to songs
and worship in the college chapel in Memorial Hall. Each member of the student
body is required to attend. Every girl carries away with her from this devotional
service some spiritual and inspirational benefit which she must confront during her
daily tasks.
Barn Dance
This year the Athletic Association dispensed with its usual formal dress affair,
and entertained the students with a charmingly informal Barn Dance. Mr. Harry Long,
Head of the Department of Physical Education, with his habitual pep and enthusiasm,
soon had each guest "bubbling over" with fun and gaiety. This unique dance was
one of the most enjoyable parties at Salem.
Bishop at Advent
For three consecutive Wednesdays before the Christmas holiday season begins,
Salem enjoys the rare treat of hearing Bishop Edward Rondthaler in his Advent ad-
dresses interpret the beautiful Christmas stories at the Young People's Meetings,
and from these talks it always leaves to each Salem girl the thought of the real signifi-
cance of the Christmas Spirit.
Transfer of Colors and Flowers
In order that the four sets of class colors and flowers might be maintained from
year to year, the Senior Class of the College, at commencement each year, bestows
upon the Senior Class of the Academy, their class colors and flowers with an invocation
that the incoming Freshmen uphold the honor and significance of their class.
unior
Circ
cus
This year the Junior Class introduced an event into the college year which was
appalling in its stupendous uniqueness, namely, the Junior Circus! The parade during
chapel, with its lengthy procession of clowns, and wild animals from Salem's Zoo,
was a most successful advertisement preceding the jolly times in the "big tent" on
lower campus. The present Juniors hope that their successors will continue to make
this happy occasion one of the most outstanding events of the year.

A PHIAL THAT IS NOT A FILE
The village blacksmith entered the dispensary looking rather
white and shaky. "I've injured my hand rather badly, sir," he
explained to the doctor. The doctor examined the hand and
looked grave. "Thomas," he said to the attendant, "go upstairs
and bring me down that phial on the table." With indignation
the blacksmith leapt to his feet. "File," he cried. "No you
don't. If this hand has to come off vou'll use a knife or an axe."

other purposes due to more efficient gas-burning appliances and better
methods of manufacture until it has reached its present state of conven-
ience, economy and utility — more is to be expected of it in the future.
