EL!-155 HISTUHY It is said that history often repeats itself. It is also said that history is always changing. Both of these facts are true about the class of '41 of Salem Academy. One sunny day several years ago, September 15, 1937, to be exact, a new Freshman Class was organized at Salem Academy. This was the beginning of the class of '41, Though a small group of only four girls, they immediately settled down for serious business. Of course, officers were soon elected, and under the leadership of Margaret Woodhouse, President, Ann Cheney, Secretary and Treasurer, and Miss Ruth Yates as Sponsor, this little class made rapid and steady progress. Besides conducting weekly sales, they sponsored a number of successful dances. History first repeated itself on September 12, 1938-the Freshman Class had moved up a rung on the Salem ladder, we were now the Sophomore Class. After wel- coming our new classmen, we elected the following officers: Ann Cheney, President, Betty Goslen, Vice-President, Gertrude Tomlinson, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Ruth Yates continued to hold the sponsorship of our class-now slightly larger. During the year we gave contributions to the library. We also honored the Seniors at a tea dance the afternoon of the junior-Senior. What glorious changes history brings! The class of '41 continued on, but now we were upperclassmen-Juniors. No sooner had we elected Betty Goslen, President, Margaret Wade, Vice-President, Ann Cheney, Secretary, and Mary Tennille, Treasurer, than our Sponsor, Miss Mary Virginia Colson, began to fill our heads with wonderful ideas for making money for the Junior-Senior. We trudged up and down the stairs selling breakfasts, we yelled ice cream and popcorn until our throats were hoarse, we sponsored a Cherry Blossom dance, we even had a play contest. All too soon the big night came and went, the Junior-Senior was a great success. We could then relax for the remainder of the year. It was September, 1940. History was repeating itself for the last time. The class of '41 had reached the last rung of Salem's ladder-we were Seniors and were very dignified in our new position. We made a splendid beginning with the following officers: Julia Constantine, President, Betty Goslen, Vice-President, Louise Landstreet, secretary, Evelyn Cooke, Treasurer. With the able guidance of our Sponsor, Miss Hallie Eggleston, we immediately made plans for our Senior Bazaar, which was quite successful. The next big event of our year came the morning we left for our Christmas vacation. During chapel a small package was delivered to Julia-it was our Senior rings. There is a happy occasion in the lives of all Academy Seniors-the Senior dinner, which we eagerly anticipated. How we whooped with joy when we received invitations to Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler's progressive dinner party. We could scarcely wait for March 22 to come because we knew it meant fun, laughter, and a good time for all. The next big event came on May 10 when the juniors entertained us at a lovely dance in the gymnasium. With sad and happy hearts we began the final festivities on May 24-the entertain- ment of the faculty at breakfast on the loggia. From then on our minds were full of work and play, for we had only one more week at Salem and there was much to do. The class of '41, though it was always changing, repeated itself for four short years. Now the time has come for us to bid adieu to our beloved Alma Mater. Each of us will enter a new chapter in our histories, each of us somewhere will become a member of some class of '45, Though we look ahead to many different things, we shall all look back to the same things-our schoolmates, the class of '41, Salem.
