' l i m, 135 r.nIE!g-EE A ..,... 1- Till . as - ., . ... ..' hilt Ali' Class Historq HE portals of Salem Academy in September, 1927 opened yawning jaws to swallow up some timid morsels of freshmen who in the course of a year were to leave these same portals with the seal of Salem clearly stamped on their newly-gained studious brows. That year under the sponsoring of Miss Vir- ginia Wilson we put our name on the books, so to speak,-in line for bigger and better things. The result of our first political campaign was that Grace Wilkes was elected class president, Ruth Snyder, vice-president, and May Gray Eiird, secretary and treasurer. We were royally represented in sports, often being vic- torious with our sisters, the juniors. Although we were one hundred per cent. in sport attendance, the sophomores were one better and of course won the cup. Qui' social season began and ended at the Rondthaler farm in a picnic we gave the juniors, but it was fun while it lasted. September, 1928 rolled around, and, although we came reluctantly, since most of us were new girls and as green as the freshmen, we were eager to lind out what it was all about. VVe were lucky enough, however, to obtain the guidance of Penny Allen, who knew the ropesll of Salem. Penny became our president, and was assisted by the vice-president, Mary Lamar Reynolds, and the secretary and treasurer, Harryet Polhemus. We first distinguished ourselves in a reading con- test challenged by the freshmen. Our talent secured us the victory. Then with Miss Mary Weaver as sponsor we made our iirst public appearance in the social world that year by establishing Le Moulin Rouge. This and a few other at- tractive entertainments enabled us to give a sumptuous feast in the form of a silhouette luncheon at the Blue VVillow for the Seniors. In athletics we again showed our worthy mettle except in basketball. Most of us were rewarded with S A's at the annual athletic picnic in token of our good sportsmanship. September, 1929 brought only a few of us back. Among these only two were boarders so it was almost with raw material again that we organized ourselves for progress. VVe were not disappointed, however, but pleased with the new- comers. In fact they made the old wine sweeter. That year .lean Maclachlan was president, Katherine Pfaff, vice-president, and Colette Howell, secretary and treasurerg and Ruth Kreiter, cheer leader. Again Miss Mary VVeaver was unanimously elected to sponsor our future. Under her direction we re-established our cabaret, this time calling it Le Chat Noir. Again we were successful, and consequently we were able to honor the graduates with a lovely Dutch banquet given at the Forsyth Country Club. We in turn were entertained by the fresh- men at a rollicking picnic on the Rondthaler farm. In everything were we repre- sented that year. Some of us were members of the newly-formed Edison Clubg others of the llramatic Club, known as Pi Delta Phi. VVe also starred in our stage success, The liivalsf' which was the annual junior Thanksgiving play. In the held of athletics we still gallantly fought and were rewarded with the loving cup for that year too. ,EST fs fgiwm x s is K gE . 9' -- 'TT Tlx

W I -awPil I -1n u51'rx m 1 re. f gn' uae-1 'A ' ' p u s hbhffsi Time never ceased, and in September, 1930, we joyfully entered the portals of a new Salem--but new only in structure. The old traditions and customs still remained to be upheld, and it was with this in mind that we solemnly took our roles as dignified seniors. At the birthday dinner we cut the cake with the reso- lution to form customs and traditions for future Salem girls that would measure up to those handed down to us. The class was organized again under the spon- soring of Miss VVeaver, and the officers elected were: Mishew Crudup, presie dentg Lila W'omble, vice-presidentg Colette Howell, secretaryg and jane liwire, treasurer. We were defeated in athletics many times but our sportsmanship still won admiration. llesides, senior studies rendered us less hardy than we had been in more youthful days. However, we did enjoy the delightful athletic banquets. These were lovely affairs, and you can be quite sure the pretty rainbow banquet, the last one, will be remembered for a long time. This year was a big one in the way of social functions for us. W'e lirst ac- cepted the kind invitation .of the l. R. S. Association of Salem College to a St. Patrick's Day tea in the Louisa VVilson llitting building. Then on April 24th came the formal dinner given by our charming hostess, Mrs. H. lf. Rondthaler. This occasion was made even more brilliant-and enjoyable-by the doubling of the guest list to include a boy for each senior. fflffirczlvile cz'tirf11!j Next we were honored by the wonderful Junior-Senior banquet at the Forsyth Country Club. Miss Vyleaver, our class sponsor, gave us the privilege of seeing Salem after lights when she entertained at a pajama party in our honor. Finally, just before exams, we gave a breakfast party on the loggia for the faculty. Lastly there was the farewell supper at the lieynold's Grill where we all shed many tears in thinking of the parting. Amid the whirl of gifts and congratulations crme the glorious days of commencement. Again we made our way through the portals of Salem carrying away with us the sweetest of memoriesethe memories of our Alma Mater! fT'TARRYli'l' Porn mi rs, Historian.
