Separate Voices.Same Spirit
We are diverse, hailing from twenty countries and nearly all fifty states. A myriad
of races reside on campus and women of all ages contribute to the Salem community.
Different languages mingle in the library, the refectory and the dorms. Different
costumes and customs not only appear in our international events but in our daily
experiences as well. We value conservative thinkers and liberal views. Diversity
is evident by the artistic hands that leave traces across campus while the mathemati-
cally minded trade ideas. Women in history pioneered our traditions and the women
of today preserve this unique heritage. Each individual's realization of her
ambitions, strengths, and dedication have created this diverse and successfid
environment. Salem College is a community separate in voices but same in spirit.

Welcome to Safem
It was a blazing hot morning on Saturday August 23, 2003. Even in the early hours of the morning,
the heat had already begun to agitate and the humidity to climb. But the 2003 Salem College
Orientation staff was undaunted as they stood ready to help move in the newest members of Salem
College. After a morning of hauling cinder blocks, suitcase, television sets and refrigerators, the
majority' of the Class of 2007 was settling into their new homes, waving good-bye to parents and
siblings, and getting to know their roommates and neighbors. There were a few days before classes
were to begin but the new class was not going to get time for relaxation or settling down. The
orientation staff planned a plethora of activities rangingfrom class scheduling and skits to pool parties
and scavenger hunts. The freshmen were so busy that no one had the chance to think about being
homesick. Within a few days they had learned the ropes of Salem and were welcomed heartily by the
entire school.
The members of the 2003 Orientation
Staff are up earl\ and are ready to help.
A new addition to orientation was the sign-
ing of the honor code. These freshmen are
waiting to commit to the strong honor code
of Salem College.
F.nergv and excitement abound from
the orientation staff. Ashley. Sarah
and Katie eagerly help move in the
freshmen.
Being an orientation leader requires
dedication and strength. Sarah and
Kisha pause for a moment before
moving on.
There is no college like Salem Col-

always read\ to help. Mary and Lauren
are ready for another trip to the third
floor.
One of the most cherished traditions of
orientation is the walk to Sister Oesterlein's
grave. The freshmen will complete the
walk again as seniors.

The most anticipated tradition of Salem College tf^the student body is Fall Fest. An annual celebration of sisterhood
and class rivalry, places the classes in a day offrieiuily competition in the areas of spirit, decorations, t-shirt, parade,
and skits. The campus was awake by 5 am to the sounds of seniors , many of whom had yet to see their beds that night.
Even President Thrift was called from sleep to greet tire school and witness the start of Fall fest 2003. The theme was
reality T. V., a fitting title for the day's drama and commotion. The senior laid claim to Diary, the juniors represented
The Real World * Road Rules Challenge, the sophomores took on Sorority Life, and the freshmen came in as divas with
American Idol. Each class carried on Salem's tradition with vigor and brilliance that culminated in the evening skits
before the entire Salem community. The Class of 2004 walked away with the title for the second year running but the
women of every class came out of Fall Fest victorious for they were now a family of sisters.
Fall Fest judges have just as much fun as
the students. President Thrift and Mr.
Snelsire enjoy the opportunity to try
out the motorcycles.

atmosphere. Even with all of the work of being juniors, these girls did not forget to have fun. The Class of 2005
was continually reminded that they were about to assume the leadership positions of the school. A)iticipation
for the 2004-2005 school fueled the class to give it their all The year passed quickly for this group and at the

As the class of 2006 began to move up in the ranks they were determined to prove that they had
zuhat it takes to be the leaders of the school. As they made this step, they took on more
responsibility as they were challenged with Fall Fest, Sophomore-Surprise and Sophomore-
Senior. As they were now seasoned veteran's of Salem College, they accepted the challenge with
grace and dedication. The Class of 2006 began to personify the true Salem spirit as they could
be seen in every facet of Salem life. The strong direction of the class proves that there are great
things in store in the future.

The freshmen class came to Salem with a bang as they instamy became involved on campus.
Their instant Salem spirit became most evident during Fall Test. With having hardly any
knoiuledge about one of Salem's best loved traditions, the class pulled together ami showed more
team spirit than expected. The judges were so impressed that the Freshmen were awarded a first
place finish in skits. From then on, everyone knew the freshmen class would make an impact on
Salem's campus. With their ability to work as a class, their creativity and their ability to bring
excitement to Salem's campus, the freshmen have made their mark and will become excellent role
models for the class of 2008.
Oh what a night! Natalie and Cyndia
are ready to party the night away at
Semi-Formal.
HOLA and ONUA teamed up this
year to sponsor Latin dance les-
sons. These girls seem to have the
hang of it.
It is always fun to use the dance as
an opportunity to hang out to-
gether.

Many Freshmen became involved at
Salem in the Vagina Monologues. Lib-

We have spirit! The freshmen are pre-
pared to give Fall Fest their all.
These ladies help out at the freshmen
booth during the annual Halloween car-
nival.
The freshmen skit had everyone in hys-
terics as Aryn, Sarah and JR imperson-
ated some of Salem's favorite profes-
sors.
The leadership potential of the fresh-
men class is very high. Allison and
Leigh made themselves very prominent
figures on campus this year.

to score a point.

Bump! Set! Spike! And the point
goes to Salem College.
The crucial point of any swim meet
is the start. Angela Mvers seems
to be off to a good start.
The backstroke is a stroke that re-
quires an immense amount of con-
centration. This swimmer appears
to be off to a good start.
A game can be won or lost based
on your serve. Erica looks as
though she is readv for an ace.
The butterfh' is probablv the most
difficult stroke. Candy shows that
she has the necessary strength.
The crowd is full of spirit as they cheer on the
team.

T^fian^sfor tfie "Memories
It is hard to believe that I have finished my last yearbook at Sa-
lem. It is wonderful to feel a sense of completion but at the same
time saddens me as working on the yearbook has given me many
special memories of Salem. It is with fond and dear memories
that I will look back on my time at Salem. I have created memo-
ries with my friends, professors, and fellow students that I will
treasure into the future and I hope each member of the Salem
community can do the same. The completion of this book would
not be possible without the help of a dedicated and supportive
staff. Lesley, Erica, Stephanie and Sarah, I want to thank each of
you for your hard work. Each of you are very talented and I wish
you the best of luck. Maria, you are the best! I have been so
blessed to work with you and I am thankful we have become
friends. Crystal, you have been with me for the past three years
and I always knew that I could count on you. Thank you for all
your work and I wish you the best of luck next year. A special
thank you to my roommate Livni for your support and advice the
past two years. Finally, a special thank you to the Salem Commu-
nity and especially the Class of 2004. I love everyone of you and I
can't wait to see how we set this world on fire! Thanks for the
memories Salem!
