Bifivityi A GIFTED MUSICIAN AND ACCOM- PLISHED TEACHER, WHO, FOR TWEN- TY-SEVEN YEARS, HAS IDENTIFIED HIMSELF WITH THE FULL VARIETY OF SALEM LIFE, WHO HAS HEIGHTENED THE ENDOWMENTS OF FAITH AND AP- PRECIATION THAT HAVE BEEN CULTI- VATED FOR GENERATIONS BY SALEM GIRLS IN STUDYING THE BETTER THINGS OF LIFE, AND WHO JUSTLY EN- JOYS THE FRUITION OF UNCOUNTED NUMBERS OF FRIENDSHIPS, THE SEN- IOR CLASS IS HAPPY TO DEDICATE THIS NINETEENTH VOLUME OF iglita anil Unaxglita T wmmmimmmwmmm m Dean H. A. Shirley The subject of this sketch, H. A. Shirley, a direct de- scendant of William Shirley, Esquire, a Governor-General of the Massachusetts Bay Grant, which now comprises Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, and a son of William H. and Caroline Williams Shirley, was born at Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, September 15, 1865. He graduated from the New England Conservatory, Boston, Massachusetts, in 1887; studied organ under S. B. Whitney, Boston, and piano under the late Edward MacDowell, after which he was or- ganist and teacher of piano at Winchendon. Massachusetts, for eleven years. On July 30, 1 896, he married Anna Robinson, of Worcester, New York. In the same year he became dean of the music department of Salem College, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he has maintained the same position even until the present time. He has held a prominent place in musical circles as a colleague of the American Guild of Organists, a member of the North Carolina Music Teachers ' Association, of which he was president in 1915, and director of many choruses and orchestras both here and elsewhere. It is largely due to his efforts that many of the organs in Winston- Salem and the surrounding country have been installed. During the quarter of a century that Dean Shirley has de- voted to Salem, the music department has made great strides toward the heights to which it has attained. Nor has his interest in Salem been solely confined to the work of his own depart- ment. Every phase of college life has always found in him an ardent supporter, and it is through his love of the great out-of- doors that many Salem girls have come to know and love him best. FOREWORD NOW. AS WE COMPLETE OUR WORK HERE AND JOIN THE LISTS OF THE ALUMNAE, WHO HAVE EVER RE- JOICED IN THE ATTAINMENTS OF THEIR ALMA MATER. WE LEAVE THIS NINETEENTH VOLUME OF SIGHTS AND INSIGHTS AS A RECORD OF THE SALEM WE KNOW AND LOVE BEST. IN FU- TURE YEARS MAY WE RETURN TO SHARE THE GREATER GLORY AND ACHIEVEMENT WHICH WILL INEVIT- ABLY BE HERS, AND TO REFRESH AGAIN THOSE MEMORIES WHICH HAVE BEEN SO LOVINGLY RECORDED HERE. jmrnmamummmm Historical Sketch of Salem In the year 1772, Salem College had its foundation in Salem Female Academy, a day-school for students of the Moravian community. As such it was maintained until 1802, when a boarding department was added. From that time the institution continued to grow until, in 1866, a charter was granted which introduced a strictly collegiate department. Thus Salem Female Academy became Salem Academy and College. Since 1910, these two institutions have been main- tained separately, although under the same administrative head and board of trustees. Through four wars Salem, whose ideal has ever been the Christian education of young women, has carried on her work, and has been in constant operation for one hundred and fifty- two years. She has become an A-class college through mem- bership in the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools in the Southern States. With such a glorious past and with hundreds of alumna who are eager to support their Alma Mater in whatever she undertakes, Salem looks forward to a future of ever more effi- cient service. ■•■■■■■if 111 ABIIINIRHIHI i uiiiiiiimiw mmwmmtntui ■■HOT T Sights and Insights Staff Charles II.

A school they had that was taught by day, But parents came visiting from far away; Said, Let us send you our daughters dear. YVe like your ways and your atmosphere And the people who live in Salem here. Hut the teachers were few and the room was none So a boarding school was not begun. Now in Salem a custom had long held sway To give God a chance to direct man ' s way: They consulted the lot, and when prayers were made And the answer given, they never strayed From the path shown clear, but again they prayed That they might in every way fulfil What they rightly believed was God ' s own will. Bright dawned October in eighteen-two — Brother Samuel Kransch has naught to do. Shall he preach in Salem? The lot says: Nay. Shall he go up North? Came the answer: Stay. But what shall he do? On the month ' s last day The answer came: ' Brother Kransch ' s new field Shall in after years return fair yield. He ' s to be the principal of a school Which not yet has seen the builder ' s tool, But then that ' s the way in Salem town. They make their plans ' ere they break the ground; And each man feels himself duty bound To make the mortar, the planks, or bricks, And woe it is to the one who kicks. So the building grows and the news is spread That the Salem girls are gently bred, Versed in the ways of French and art And sewing such as the dames impart. Thus Salem Academy has its start And from far and wide there are gathered here Girls who will long hold Salem dear. Years fly and our college life is done. Let us pass on that which to us has come — Our thoughts to the girls who have gone before, Our help to the new class at the door, And our hearts to our college forevermore. Thus the tale is told and here laid down Of a wonderful school in Salem town. Page fifty-five OIR CLASS PRESIDENTS MAtjcuE Hunt. Freshman; Marion PRoPsr. Sophomore; Eleanor Shaffner, Junior; Edith Hunt, Senior. History of Class ' 24 In our stud.es, somewhere along the hard and crooked road of our four years of college life, we have learned that some biologists intimate that man is descended or ascended, from monkeys. Without being a circumlocutionist of veracity, I might say- that the present Class of ' 24 could be used as an example to prove this conjecture When, ,n the fall of 1920, a group of very ignorant Freshmen entered Salem ' ,  -a Is to acquire in different ways their educations, they might be compared to a group of httle fun-loving monkeys. There seemed to be nothing they were unwilling to at- tempt ,n the way of mischief until they were brought down a peg or two by the sophomores. The first really enjoyable occasion that the class, as a whole, attended was the re- ception given by Mrs. Rondthaler in their honor. They never forgot how comfortable she made them feel after their strenuous siege of initiations. Their sister class, the Juniors, gave a delightful party for then, which made then, feel much more easy socially and begin to look around with the idea of doing a little entertammg themselves. They felt, of course, that thev would like to show their appreciation to the Juniors so, in fear and trembling because of their still very evident verdancy they tendered their sister class the invitation to their first attempt at social endeavors. It is needless to say that everyone said she was charmed, and the two classes truly seemed to enjoy the party tremendously. The next thing of note that befell these little girls was the game that first Thanks- giving As was their nature at the time they put their whole interest into the sport and cheering and played in the final game much to their own satisfaction and the surprise of the on-lookers. Page fifty-six ' — Although the Freshmen had other and varied experiences during that first college year, they settled down after the Christmas holidays to hard and earnest work, show- ing thereby that the evolution had truly started. If it were possible to have a relapse in evolution, the Sophomores of ' 21 suffered one very decidedly. When, as Freshmen, they left the spring before they had gained a more dignified and scholarly bearing, but with the opening of the new term and the prospect of making miserable the lives of the terrified little Freshmen, they became doubly rantankerous. Even the strenuous labor of initiations could not smother the vigorous flame of their desire to be doing something. The Thanksgiving games came again, and again the glorious colors of Red and White went down to defeat. This proved no wet blanket, however, to the indomitable spirit of the Sophs. For every other sport they entered equally enthusiastically and always came up smiling, whether from defeat or victory. There was no relapse when the girls came back in the fall of 1922 as Juniors. They were beginning then to feel more like civilized human beings and less like harum- scarum little green-horns. As every Junior knows, the main object of existence that year is always the Junior- Senior Prom. This Class of ' 24 was no exception to that rule as is shown by the fact that as soon as they returned they began planning for the night of the great event. Many were the parties and stunts they gave to secure the money and great was the fun they had. There was time between, of course, in which they returned to the athletic field of battle, always to fight fairly and valiantly and never, sad to relate, to win the coveted laurels of the victor. They were still cheerful, however, and resolved to make a harder fight than ever in their Senior year. Came at last the night of the prom, the night of May 12. The campus and the banquet room were a veritable Japanese tea garden, in which the Juniors and Seniors, with their guests, frolicked happily for one whole evening. Then came the last Saturday morning of that year when the Juniors donned their robes of Senior dignity for a few short hours. They wore these symbols of their Seniorhood with a new feeling of responsibility which was entirely unlike anything they had ever felt before. They were truly on the verge of becoming Seniors, both in their class work and in their realization of what was most fit and proper for young college women to be. Although they had had a taste of being Seniors in the preceding spring, they came back in the fall of ' 23 more dignified and serious minded than ever before and far removed in the evolutionary scale from the timorous but mischievous Freshmen who had entered the same walls three years before. The different duties and pleasures of their Senior year brought the girls into closer touch with their Alma Mater and with each other, but made them sometimes sadly remember that it was their last year and at its close they would go out into the world as women grown to make their own Page Ulty-seven way. They tried hard to live up to the expectations of their college ana their friend, and to gam as much benefit and pleasure as possible from each other ' s companionship. I hey realized that To meet, to love, and then to part Is the sad, sad fate of a schoolgirl ' s heart. They decided before they left, however, that as soon as possible they would all return to Salem s loved campus and halls to live again in a class reunion the four years of evolution wh,ch made full-grown women out of the crowd of little urchins who long before had come to Salem to spend the four happiest years of their lives Page fifty-eight Prophecy gdHAT was the prophet of the Class of ' 24 to do? Fire would not write the IM future in its glowing embers nor would the speaking oak disclose it ; neither  «■ was there money in the class treasury to buy the wizard ' s crystal nor that greater marvel — the prophet ' s aeroplane which, in the twinkling of an eye, transports the owner fifteen years into the future and around the world to see her old classmates. She had despaired when she heard of the discovery of Roger Bacon ' s ancient manuscripts. Hope timidly returned and the would-be prophet studied the records of the old monk. Deep in these tomes was hidden the secret of the Brazen Head. She toiled faithfully and constructed th e Brazen Head, the controller of time. Its maker would not ask that it build the wall of brass, but only that it reveal the future. Sixty days had passed and the hour had come for the Head of Brass to speak. As the prophet watched she heard a great noise as of a mighty earthquake. The Brazen Head spoke, saying Time is. The watcher found herself among her classmates, in cap and gown, marching with stately step down the aisle of Memorial Hall. Time was, said the Head of Brass. The scene changed and the prophet was no longer with a stately line of Seniors, but with a conglomerate group of noisy Freshmen. Loaded with bag and baggage they were pouring into the alcoves of main building. Time will be, said the Brazen Head, and so it was that I, the prophet of Class of ' 24, was transported the third time. I found myself in a city on an elevated walk with aeroplanes above and cars below. I was still wandering around in a dazed way when, catching a glimpse of the capitol building, I realized that I was in the Wash- ington city which will be. Just then I saw a lady land her plane on the roof of the building in front of me and descend to the sidewalk. There was something so familiar about her appearance that I determined to address her and see if she were an old acquaintance in this strange place. I had just begun: Excuse me, but — when she interrupted me by saying: Hello, old dear, you are another member of the Class of ' 24 here for the big occasion. Edith Hunt, I exclaimed, I am so glad to see you here. I am so glad to be here, too, she said, and I am so proud of Mary Howard Turlington for discovering the way to send radio messages to Mars. Of course, the men say a woman will always find the way to do all the talking possible, but that is just because they are jealous. Don ' t you think she has a good program for her radio message? Oh, yes, I answered, making my remarks brief to conceal my ignorance. Eloise Chesson, continued Edith, is the person to lead the cheers for the inhabitants of Mars. Those Martians will have a good idea of our music. Margaret Smith is going to sing a solo, Louise will play the piano and Ellie the harp. Really, I am beginning to feel almost presumptuous, calling great musicians like Eleanor Shaffner and Louise Young, Ellie and Louise. There will be a whole crowd of Salem girls. So many of them are living here in Washington. Polly Wolff is one that will not be here much longer, said Edith with a smile. When she announced her engagement she resigned as secretary of the treasury and at last consented to stay only until a substitute can be found. Then Nettie Allen Thomas is here. She is going to speak in the House this very day in favor of the bill appropriating a million dollars for historical research. We must go to hear her, for Page fifty-nine she surely can wake up every sleepy Congressman and argue them all down too Speaking of sleepy Congressmen, aren ' t you glad Bessie Chandler has her office? I think everybody is, I murmured, following my policy of making non-committal remarks. I was finding out that, although it is hard to have presence of mind to make sensib e remarks in the present, it is still harder to have future of mind to make sensible remarks in the future. Edith went on, Well, Bessie has at last taken all the red tape out of the gov- ernment Even though everybody praises her, she laughs and savs it isn ' t anything because she could not possibly do things in a ' round about ' way. Corinne Clements has turned out to be another mighty reformer. It is a good thing to have a reformer of reformers in these days when people have gone wild on the subject of reform and would change constellations if they could. It keeps Corinne busy looking after all the reformers in the land, let me tell you. It is wonderful that so many of us are here in Washington, I remarked. There are almost as many in New York, Edith returned. Let ' s see there are Mary Lou Boone, Jane Noble, Lois Neal, Estelle Hooks, Lillian Watkins and Catherine Christ. I never feel as if I were awav from Lillian and Catherine be- cause I am always reading Lillian ' s stories in the magazines and looking at Catherine ' s illustrations. Lois and Hook are doing their part toward educating the vouth of the country. Lois has introduced a Home Economics course in the primary grades of New York City. Can you imagine Hook an instructor in Physics? She must make her pupils work, for Physics is becoming a more complicated and complex subject all the time. In our day there was only one Hooke ' s law, and now, thanks to our Hook, there are five. How does Mary Lou like New York? I asked. She would have to like it, was the answer, when all the people are so crazy about her acting. You know she has signed a contract to go abroad and perhaps she will like London or Paris better. It is a pity, Edith said reflectively, that we are so scattered that we cannot have a class reunion even in these days of aeroplanes. Laura Howell is in the South Sea Islands. Just think of Laura among cannibals, but thev say the magic of her violin equals the power of Orpheus ' flute. She converts those savages and leads them where she will with the sweet harmony of her music. Sarah Herndon is as far away with a mission school in the heart of China. She has taught the little Chinese to speak French like Parisians. Sarah needs the Chinese alphabet because she has all the degrees you can make out of the twenty-six letters in our little alphabet and has begun to take degrees in the 44,449 letters in the Chinese language. Ever since Hazel Stephenson explained the fourth dimension to all the world and discovered the fifth dimension, Sarah has been begging her to come over and take her degrees in China, because China is the only country with an alphabet adequate to such knowledge. Dot Sessoms is another one who could not come to a class reunion. The first lady to be ambassador to the Court of St. James cannot leave whenever she pleases, but Dot is coming over to Marion Cooper ' s wedding this fall. IJiope some day Bug will have a chance to stay at home. Since she was made the American representative in the League of Nations, she has been called to arbi- tration councils and peace conferences in Petrograd, Delhi, Mexico City and every- where. You don ' t know how I miss my sister. It takes someone with Bug ' s tact to manage war-loving nations, I said to mvself. Page sixty Edith suddenly awoke from her reverie and suggested, Let ' s have lunch here before we go any further. She led the way into a charming tea room. I was amazed when the owner came forward. Blanche Stockton, I exclaimed, 1 did not know this was your tea room. It is perfectly delightful. Let me ask you just one thing — didn ' t you get your experience when we used to sell hot dogs for the Junior Class every Saturday night? Blanche sat down beside us and began asking Edith the North Carolina news. How is Pauline Turner and her law office? was the first question. Oh, Pauline is doing splendidly, answered Edith. She truly is recognized as the greatest authority on wills in the state. No one has ever found a flaw in a will she has written. What about Lillie May? asked Blanche. She is just the same as ever. I tell her she gives a daily demonstration in her home of all the domestic art and science she learned in college. How is Willie Valentine? Her Mount Airy Sanitarium is more famous every day. When you think about it Willie really is the first person to give the rest cure who used the motto, ' Practice what you preach. ' Willie rests and sleeps all the time herself and she tells the patients to follow her example. Yesterday I heard she had cured 5,893 nervous wrecks by this method. I think Jennings is as original as Willie. She cures her patients by her medical skill and keeps them well by her witty sayings that make them laugh all the time. What have you heard from Adelaide? asked Blanche. I flew over to her estate last week, said Edith. Did you know that she is using part of it as a girls ' camp? I was there before the midsummer term began and everything was ready for the girls — tennis courts, horses, swimming pool, boats and all the rest. Blanche continued her questions. What is the news from Emily and Mildred? was her next query. I don ' t need to tell you that Emily is a charming bride, but had you heard of her being made president of the North Carolina Woman ' s Club? Mildred has taken out a patent on her invention. She installed her first machine in Salem College. It was such fun to see that machine automatically register all excuses for cutting music practice! Salem had been needing it for one hundred and fifty-seven years. Did you stop by to see Mary Pfohl and Margaret Russell? Blanche asked. No, but I would have if I had had time. Drake ' s Branch is big enough to find now. Margaret put it on the map with her home for destitute children. There are children there from nearly every city in the United States. You ought to see Mary Pfohl in a nurse ' s cap and uniform, putting the little orphans to bed, or Margaret Russell teaching them the principles of self-government. Edith, I said, suddenly entering the conversation, you never did tell me anything about Jane Noble except that she was in New York. That artistic lady has given up costume designing long enough to write her book, Annual Aid. I have seen some of the proof and it is full of clever drawings and original suggestions. Editors of annuals ought to have a ' cinch ' now. I found courage to ask my second question: What is Olive Belle Williams doing? They looked at me in amazement. Such ignorance seemed incomprehensible. Don ' t you know what she is doing? Edith responded. Then, I have a surprise Page sixty-one for you. You remember how Olive Belle dreaded hygiene and put it off until her Senior year. Well, she became so interested in hygiene and athletics that she is taking physical education at Sargent. I could not keep from asking Edith how she kept up with all her old classmates. She laughingly answered, I do keep up with the whereabouts of most of my classmates, but not all. When Elizabeth Strowd is traveling all over the country reciting and reviving the ancient art of elocution. I can never tell where she is going to be next. I should not be surprised if she were to descend upon Washington today. I know she would like to be here for Bradham ' s banquet tonight. Mary Bradham fits into Washington society. There is nothing like a charming personality to make one a second Elizabeth Montague and the leader of all the social lions and intellectuals. It seems strange, Blanche said pensively, everything is turned around. You are living in Winston-Salem while I am in the North. I thought you would like the South so well you would go back there to live. Edith, I interrupted, you have not said one word about yourself. She laughed gaily and replied, It is the truth. We have been busy talking about everybody and have not had a chance to ask about each other. ' Turn about is fair play. ' I absolutely insist that you tell me all about yourself. Oh, Brazen Head, I prayed in desperation, let it be ' Time is. ' And so it was and is. Page sixty-two Last Will and Testament STATE: NORTH CAROLINA. COUNTY: FORSYTH. (RANTING the frailties of human nature and the inevitable passing into alumnae of each succeeding class, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-four, do now declare this to be our last will and testament and do solicit the strict adherence thereto of our beneficiaries. First, we do appoint as our trustees and executors our sisters, the members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-six, giving to them the right to pawn all or any of the gold pens and pencils received by the members of the class at Christmas in settlement of any debts which we have incurred. Second, we will and bequeath to the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty- eight our class colors, trusting that they may carry the red and white to victory on the basketball court and elsewhere. Third, I, Edith Hunt, do give and bequeath to Constance Allen my superfluous dignity for which I shall have no use after commencement. Fourth. I, Mary Pfohl, being in a sisterly frame of mind, do will and bequeath to Ruth Pfohl my cap and gown, admonishing her to keep same in moth balls until 1927. Fifth. I, Adelaide Armfield, do hereby leave to all future delinquents, who are unfortunate enough to become restricted, a copy of my favorite song, Sittin ' on the Inside, Lookin ' on the Outside, and the consolation that there never have been more than twenty-one days in any three weeks. Sixth, I, Marjorie Hunt, do hereby will and bequeath my numerous and hard- worked colloquialisms to the next New Yorker who comes to Salem Seventh, I, Nettie Allen Thomas, being nearly distracted by futile searching, do hereby bequeath my lost books to the Freshman Class, knowing that there is a suffi- ciency for all, if found. Eighth, I, Margaret Russell, being completely rested by my leisure days in college, do will and bequeath my purple robe, emblem of name, to the incoming president of Student Self-Government Association. May her days be no more filled with onerous tasks than mine have been. Ninth, I, Mildred Barnes, do will and bequeath my many and strenuous duties at Salem to anyone wishing to become prematurely grey. Tenth, I, Catherine Crist, having already given away too many pieces of my mind, do bequeath my good disposition and imitative ability to Lois Culler, charging her to use same to amuse the off-campus girls when I am no longer able to do so. Page sixty-three Eleventh, I, Jane Holden Xoble, having thought only in terms of annuals for months past, do joyfully but feebly dump my burdens at the feet of the new editor of Sights axd Ixsights. Twelfth, I, Corinne Clements, being loath to part with my most important Christ- mas present, do will and bequeath anything else I possess to the Home Economics De- partment. Thirteenth, I, Pauline Wolff, do will and bequeath to Jean Abell my remarkable gifts of ability, sensibility and responsibility. Fourteenth, we. Hazel Stephenson and Estelle Hooks, being of sane minds in spite of the combinations and permutations of this earthly life, do will and bequeath to our worthy successors in the Mathematics Department a much-used code com- piled by us for deciphering assignments. Fifteenth. I, Pauline Turner, being still more or less dizzy, do will my hourly elevator rides in Practice Hall to Caroline Crawford with the hope that her sense of equilibrium will stand four years ' wear without impairment. Sixteenth, to our friends and guardians, Mrs. Rondthaler and Miss Stipe, we leave our sincere love and appreciation of their guidance during our callege life. Seventeenth, and lastly, to our Alma Mater we leave the earnest hope that each succeeding year may find her one step higher on the ladder of wider and better educa- tion and that we may return often to share in her glory. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal, this eleventh day of January, nineteen hundred and twenty-four. Pauline Turxer. Testator. Signed, sealed, published and declared by Pauline Turner, the testator, as and for the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-four as their last will and testament, in the presence of us, who, at her request and in the pre;enc; of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses.

Page seventy The Aeneid of the Junior Class fes WJ ' ' with one accord were silent and fixed their eyes upon her. Then the Ky V historian of ' 25, inspired anew, thus began: P?rJSi J Marvelous acts, oh muse, you order me to relate how the Juniors made illustrious the history of Salem and left a noble impress, both of which scenes I myself beheld and wherein I had a small part. Who of the alumnae, or what student at Salem, hearing such things, can but rejoice? And now graduation is hastening on. But since you have so great a longing to know our achievements and briefly to hear our annals, although I hesitate a bit because of timidity, yet will I begin: The Freshman Class, desirous of knowledge and impelled by ambition for the years to come, enter the portals of Salem and embark upon the perilous sea in quest of learning. The report is spread abroad that the Freshmen have arrived. Hither having conveyed this select band, the authorities shut them up in the dormitories and cram the small alcoves with bold Freshmen. In sight of the dormitory lie the athletic grounds, well-known by fame and flourishing since the college has stood. Now they serve to increase the fame of the Freshmen and as a station where they can achieve championship in baseball and vic- tory over the Sophomores in basketball. Some view with amazement these illustrious achievements and wonder at the marvelous ability of the Freshmen. The president and others whose minds have better judgment strenuously urge both to win honors in athletics and to apply great diligence in studious efforts. The strong crowd dili- gently press on. Attended by a numerous throng, the Class of ' 23, with ardor, hasten to the party given by the Freshmen, and while present cry out, Oh, noble sisters, how illustrious you are! Oh, Muse, do you think that as Sophomores we were free from boldness? Either we busied ourselves initiating the Freshmen or some mischievous design lurked in our minds. Had not our better judgment prevailed, the Freshmen would have been extinguished, and thou, oh Class of ' 26, shouldst not remain. In the meantime, behold, Junior Classmen, with loud acclamations, came returning in the fall to continue their steadfast design and acquire a greater store of knowledge. Resolute souls prepared to execute their noble purpose at any cost. Youth in circling crowds pour in from every quarter. Our sisters, the Class of ' 27, vie with us in achieving success. Hear now the exploits of the Juniors and from a few facts learn all. For as they continue accomplishing great things they say, What goal now inspires us or what success awaits us? Or what finally remains to us valiant ones? If, by chance, the renown has failed to reach the ears of some, or if we have drawn out our two previous years in obscurity, surely fate will give you the opportunity to hear of our exploits during this, our Junior year. In deep perplexity at times perhaps we would fain have quitted these dismal trials had not a voice said to us: Ye have achieved great success, oh Juniors, with diligent labor when first ye arrived at Salem, by trial must your goal be reached, which words no sooner reached the ears of the thirty surviving ones than their minds were strengthened and great ambition thrilled through their very bones. And by this time much money has been earned for the Prom, and they who have been so illustrious have won greater laurels. Thus the historian, while all sat attentive, she, the only speaker, recounted the exploits of the Junior Class and gave a history of their successes. She ceased at length and, having finished her relation, retired to rest. Pa je seventy-one JUNIORS Page st-zrn.

Page eighty Ye Histone of Ye Sophomore Classe 33N ye yere of oure Lorde, 1922, there cum to ye schole of Salem one hundred and ten faire maidens verye freshe and bloominge, withal, enthusyastik, so J that thei formed together a grande and glorious bande of pilgrimmes. Whiche, when that they must needs undergoe the tryal of inyciacion into the holye rytes of schole lyfe, accepted it all mekely, believing yt medicinal ; moreover, a grete feasting followed when thys pilgrimme bande joined wyth their persecutors yn moche meriemakinge. After whiche a bolde leader was chuesen for ye companie, yclept Helen Phoebus, who bravely led ye maidens thrue manie tribulaciones, to ye glorius gates of freedom, and allowed them to pass oute — probacion was no moe. Soone two battles must need be waged — first, on ye vollie balle courte, when, over their sister bande, a grete victorie was wonne; seconde, on ye baskette balle courte, when they cam oute successfulle in ye first conteste with Sophomores, but went down to sadde defete before ye haughtie Seniores. Both battels were followed by grete feastings. At laste, ye periode of greneness was over, and ye maidens, now doughty Sopho- mores, selected a maiden yclept, Lucile Reid, to be their leader. It was their turne to force a new classe to under goe inyciacion, but from ye kindness of their heartes these pilgrimmes made yt a tyme of joie insted of sorrowe. A tournamente was holden, with moche brave showeing by ye classes, bothe olde and newe. One daye ye Seniore bande asked their sister pilgrimmes to holpen them brennen their olde caps of folye and to don hats and robes of statlich blacke. Gladly ye Sopho- mores assisted, looking forwarde to that tyme when thei alsoe sholde putten off ve swaye of foolshiness anil tak on ye glorius gownes of wisdome.

The twelfth of September found many of these girls 2. 13 king their first visit to Salem. Although Freshmen necessarily feel very strange in a new place, these girls were so heartily welcomed by Miss Stipe, the dean of women ; the . W. C. A. Cabinet, the Student Council, and other organizations that their arrival seemed almost like a home-ccming. On the first Saturday night after school opened the Freshmen were presented to Salem in a most unique way at the annual get-together meeting. These new girls caught the true Salem spirit at this social gathering. Several days later homesickness was further dispelled by a party given by the sister class, the Juniors. This was a most delightful event. The hospitality which characterizes all Salem festivities was graciously extended to each new girl. The Sophomores, instead of forcing the Freshmen to undergo the terrors of ini- tiation, gave a circus with the Freshmen as chief actors. This took place on the afternoon of October 16 and was, indeed, a gala affair. After the varied and interest- ing program of stunts, the Sophomores gave a supper to the Freshmen on the campus. Soon after the arrival of the Freshmen the whole class was put on probation. The period of probation seemed dreadfully long, but there was great rejoicing when the following invitation was received : We all agree that your probation Ha? been of lengthy, hard duration So Thursday afternoon In the recreation room The council hopes to celebrate its cessation. The hour is five and the object ' s fun. So do your best and all of you come. The Freshman Class has taken an active part in all athletics. In volley ball the team made a splendid showing. The Freshman basketball team, in spite of the fact that it was defeated by the Sophomores, deserves much credit for the way in which it played on Thanksgiving. Not long after classes began the election of officers took place. Marion Xeely was elected president; Frances Mason, first vice-president; Anna P. Shaffner, second vice-president; Helen Ford, secretary; Elizabeth Transou, treasurer; Margaret Hart- sell, historian. The Class of ' 27 has a long road to travel before the time for graduation. It has. howewer, made a happy beginning, and it is hoped that each successive year will begin as pleasantly, and that the hard work and study may be forgotten in the joy of college life.

Manager of Machine Elizabeth Roop Treasurer Mr. Taylor Vice-President Margaret Williford Secretary Mis? Birrell . . . Academy Representative The MacDowell Club was organized in the fall of 1919 by Dean H. A. Shirley, of the Depart- ment of Music. The membership is restricted to members of the faculty and to the college students, including sub-Freshmen. Most of the persons eligible are now members of the club. Named in honor of Edward MacDowell, who was the greatest composer that America has yet produced, and of whom Dean Shirley was once a student, the MacDowell Club of Salem College is one of a great many similar clubs, operating for the same purpose, in alt parts of the United States. In keeping with the tastes of MacDowell, who devoted his life to the interests not only of music, but of all the other fine arts, the club undertakes the strengthening and enlivening of an appreciation for all things of a cultural nature. Partly social and recreational in purpose, it com- bines entertainment with edification. The club has recently purchased and had installed a moving picture machine in the college auditorium, and through this and other instrumentalities it has arranged numerous highly val- uable programs.

In the athletics of Salem this year the best spirit that could be wished for has been manifested. Basketball has been particularly successful. The vigor and enthusiasm with which the games were played won applause from all sides of the field. Class spirit ran high during the weeks preceding Thanksgiving Day. Seniors and Sophomores, Juniors and Freshmen had spirited meetings to practice songs and yells for their players. At 2 o ' clock on Thanksgiving Day the different classes noisily took their places in the gymnasium, where, on account of the weather, the games had to be played, but in spite of this handicap the atmos- phere was ripe with excitement as the teams came on the floor. The Juniors won over the Seniors after a spirited fight, and the Sophomores won from the Freshmen by a narrow margin. Then the audience al- most held its breath while the two winning teams took their places. The Juniors fought well, but the Sophomores, after a hard struggle, won the championship for 1924 and were presented with the Welfare Cup. BASKETBALL VARSITY Ella B.

Page one hundred twenty-six Volley Ball Volley hall at Salem is just three seasons old, but holds a very prominent place on the Athletic Calendar. With basketball, it is a fall sport; the final games of volley ball are played just be- fore Thanksgiving. Only two teams are chosen — the Senior- Sophomore and the Junior-Freshman. On Monday, November 26, 1923, the two teams met on the court, with the side lines more enthusiastic than ever before. Three games were played ; the third and decisive one being won by the Senior-Sophomore team with a score of 15-3. There was good playing on both sides and much interest was shown by the teams and the side lines. If as much progress is made in this sport in the next three years as has been made in the past three, it will soon become one of the most important sports at Salem.

Such tremendous strides have been taken by th is sport that with unexpected rapidity it has come to occupy a prominent place in athletics. Eagerly this fall the old players climbed the hill for the first practices. Many Freshmen joined the ranks and enthusiasm for field hockey. This season bids fair to exceed that of other years. Last year the game was won by the Freshmen. Four teams are seriously contesting for the 1924 championship. Interest and en- thusiasm are running high and the victory will be won only by a hard fight.

Page one hundred thirty-one Golf Although golf is a new sport at Salem, it is already popular. It is practiced on a golf machine which registers the length of the drive. Clock golf is played as well. The value of practice on the golf machine can be seen in the improvement made by those who use it. In the spring there will be a golf contest, in which the best players will have an opportunity to distinguish them- selves. If the interest now manifested in golf can be taken as a gauge of the future of this sport, its success at Salem is as- sured. Baseball Baseball, although it is not one of the major sports at Salem, is beginning to occupy a prominent place in athletic events. It is now entering upon its fourth successful year at our college. In May, 1923, the Senior-Sophomore and the Junior-Freshman teams met to see who should be victors. Amid the cheering of many loyal classmates the Senior-Sophomore team proved itself worthy of the sought-for title. They got the lead in the verv he- ginning and in the final inning the score was 16-4. in their favor. Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth would have been greatly benefited if they could have seen this game played on Salem diamond by loyal Salemites. Page one liundred thirty-tux Track The popularity of track in the spring com- pares very favorably with that of basketball in the fall. Early in May is the customary time for the annual track meet. In the past the main features of this meet have been the standing broad jump, running broad jump and high jump, but last year the fifty-yard dash was added. The vigorous competition in these different events made the year 1923 an outstanding one in the history of track at Salem. Bessie Chandler led in the running broad jump and high jump with a record of 12 feet g 1 A inches and 4. feet 4 inches, respec- tively. The standing broad jump was won by Sophia Hall with a record of 7 feet ir inches. These records, of which we are justly proud, compare favorably with the national records for women ' s colleges. RUNNING HIGH JUMP: BESSIE CHANDLER Page one hundred thirty-three Tennis Tennis is one of the oldest sports at Salem and one which arouses much interest among the students. The interclass tournament of singles is played in the fall and that of doubles in the spring. The winner of the singles for 1923 was Mary Womble, of the Class of ' 25. and the runner-up was Adelaide Armfield, of the Class of ' 24. The tennis tournament of singles for 1924 began very enthusiastically on October 22, 1923, with thirty-nine participants. All of the college girls are eagerly awaiting the time when the victor will be known. The winner of singles is permitted to have her name engraved on the tennis cup.

Each year a campaign is launched under the aus- pices of the hygiene class and Miss Jackson, head of the Department of Physical Education. During this campaign, which lasts two weeks, posters, reminding the girls to watch their posture, are placed throughout the buildings and members of the hygiene class watch the posture of the student body. The 1923-1924 S. L. S. campaign began October 10, 1923. Mr. Horace Sebring, a former director of athletics at the citv Y. M. C. A.. ' was the principle speaker at the launching of the campaign. In the preceding years the class whose members have had the best posture during the two weeks have been awarded a prize. This year Louise Yhitaker was awarded a medal for having the best posture of any girl in school. The Juniors were given honorable mention as the class having the best posture. In an essay contest each college girl had the privilege of entering one theme on posture. The or.e by Miriam Brietz was chosen as the best and published in Tin Salemite.

C, Ferbuary 2, 1924. No. 20 DR. ALPHONSO SMITH ADDRESSES STUDENTS Interesting Statistics Regarding State ' s Place in Liter- ary Field — Newspaper Circulation Below Aver- age—Native Authors Unappreciated. On Friday evening, November 23. Dr. C. Alphonso Smith, pro- fessor of literature in the United States Naval Academy, and author of the well-known work, entitled What Can Literature Do For Me, delivered an address in memorial hall under the auspices of the North Carolina Libra ry Associ- ation, which, during the several days preceding, held its annua] convention at Winston-Salem. The subject of the lecture was, The Most Ominous Statistic That Faces North Carolina Today. As an introduction, Dr. Smith briefly described the unusually varied resources of the state; the rank of North Carolina, not only among her Southern neighbors, but also among all the states that go to make up the United States of America; and the eager, ener- getic responses her citizens have always made to any suggestion by which she might better herself along any line whatsoever. In only one particular — and that because she is not aware of it — is North Carolina behind the remain- der of the s ' ates in any worthwhile endeavor. In the eyes of the read- ing world, however, she is a negli- gible factor. Literature may be classed under three heads: the newspaper, which corresponds to a single word, and which contains a bare statement of current happenings; the magazine, corresponding to the sentence, the first reaction to and interpretation of the facts; and the book, or finished para- graph, the final interpretation by some person who has spent months, or even years, in contem- plation of the subject, and reached a definite conclusion. North Carolina is singularly be- hind in the matter of newspapers. There are, in the state, twenty- six dailies, with a circulation of one to every thirteen persons. The circulation average of newspapers In the United States is one to every three, and this lagging be- hind in North Carolina can be due only to lack of interest in world events. History is being made made over again and it is ob- ligatory on North Carolinians, as world citizens, to keep themselves informed on world matters. The fact that one out of every thirteen residents is asleep indicates that there is very little international, national, or even community mind in the people; that while they are vaguely aware that the world is, as it were, in a hospital, they are not filled with interest enough to ask the question every morning: How is the world today? and to seek, in the daily newspaper, the answer to the query. As to magazines, which consti- tute the advance guard on the fir- ing line, one out of every eighty- five persons in the United States is a subscriber to one of the twelve best sellers in that line, while in North Carolina the aver- age circulation is one to every one hundred and thirty-eight. Practi- cally the same condiiinn e v is a i-i the realm of books. This is illus- trated by taking account of the number of libraries in North Carolina. Of the towns in which there is a population of more than two thousand, there are twenty seven which have no library at all. The standard throughout the country essential for an up- to-date institution of this sort is one dollar for each citizen; the amount appropriated in Winston- Salem is eighteen cents per capita, and Winston-Salem leads the state in the per capita appropriation for libraries. North Carolina has produced a number of great writers, but if one judged her patriotism by her reading of these writers, one would be forced to conclude that she appreciates her own literary producers to no great extent. John Charles McNeill, the author of the little volume entitled Poems Merry and Sad, was dust in his grave before a mere hand- ful of copies had been disposed of; seventeen years elapsed before the first five thousand were sold. Wi lt=r Hines Page, a native North Carolinian, is a man who has rellected undying honor to his state in the volumes containing his Letters, full of pathos, beauty of style, personal charm, and historic insight. A monu- ment has been erected t o this great man in Westminster Abbey, and lists of best selling books rank his work as second only to Pa- pini ' s Life of Christ, but only two hundred and thirty-nine have been sold in North Carolina. O. Henry ' s fame sprang up almost overnight. His stories are now used in such universities as Har- vard as models in the art of nar- ration, and there are translations into Spanish, French. Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, and Rus- sian. The state of Oregon, with its small population of seven hun- dred thousand, spent ten thousand dollars in one year for the books of O. Henry and Waiter Page. Connecticut ' s one million, three hundred thousand people invested thirteen thousand dollars in the same volume; and North Carolina, (.Continued on page 4.)

The Salemite cele- brated the occasion of its third birthday.

CLASS IN HISTORY OF EDUCATION ;ives Interesting Dramatization of Eighteenth Century Education. Tuesday, at twelve o ' clock, Edu- cation 3 gave a very interesting dramatization of the Education of the Eighteenth Century in Ger- many, England, and America. The work of the class for the past sev- eral weeks has been on this sub- ject, so the students wen capnbl • of bringing in the most important points. The entire presentation was divided into three parts, re- presenting Germany, England, or America. Adolph Diestermeg had just been dismissed from service at the Berlin Teachers ' Seminary because his king, Frederick Wil- liam IV felt that all the Prussian troubles had been caused by the education of the masses. Diester- meg. very heart-broken at his dis- missal, was smoking Ills pipe one day when he had a reverie. He saw all the men who had done great work in the educational field in Prussia. One by one, as he thought of the man and his work, a picture appeared on the wall. Peter Luder, the first German scholar in Italy; Martin Luther, Melanehthon. Sturm, and Comen- ius were just a few of those who were shown and recognized. A typical eighteenth century school next came into the vision. The master was having a hard time with the bad little boy tied to the whipping post, with the dunce on the donkey, and with the other little folks sitting in the tiny crowded schoolroom. Diest- ermeg knew that all the work done by these men and by this school had passed to England and America, and that these countries really honored Germany for the wonderful gifts. The next division of the enter- tainment dealt with education in England. A hidden reader told the story of English advancement from the coming of the Norseman to the present day graduation of a Senior. The Norseman, Alfred the Great. Richard the Lion-hearted, Erasmus, Colet, Milton and others passed before the audience as the reader told of the work of each. After the rise of scientific learn- ing, Bacon became the most im- portant man of letters. Science has now become one of the chief studies in all universities, so the classes were shown with their re- spective instruments — the Fresh- man with his retort, the Sopho- more with his microscope, and the Junior with his skeleton. The Senior, wearing his cap and gown, was shown with his diploma. The last scene, or rather scenes, for this dramatization was in the form p three- act play. Travels of a Donkey. told the story of the three types of schooling typi- cal of the American Colonies. Al- gernon Fitzgerald, a young Vir- ginian erentleman. was thoroughly disgusted with the Anglican edu- cation given by a tutor. He de- (Continued on page i.)

Frances Jarrett. It ' s a mighty strong habit with certain people to kick when every- thing doesn ' t go to suit them. Funny, isn ' t it. that these same persons are the ones who usually express no opinion in meetings of class or crganization? We ' re wondering if everyone knows for what purpose trash con- tainers are placed at intervals over the campus. Courtesy isn ' t dead. It ' s merely dormant at times and needs a bit of a jolt. The do unto others rule is quite a good me to live by. Why not apply it in class, when you have an almost overwhelming desire to create some sort of disturbance? Oftentimes, a person loses something of value by not attending to the things that are occurring around him. Good ventilation is as important in the class room as elsewhere. Stale, musty air may cause a recitation equally stale. Let ' s start a History Club, we say. for current information on world affairs and all things that concern our own great nation. What matter if we shirk our bit? Somebody will look after it. We need some money — need it bad — the usual situation. Let ' s have a play, and put some cash and checks in circulation. If we have other things to do. somebody else will put it through. I know it is not up-to-date to point a moral plainly. But I can see no other way to meet the issue sanely. And here ' s how things ar looking now. There ' ll have to be a change — but how? Should any scribbled word of mine offend you aught, forget it- But if it makes you think a bit. why just read on, and let it remind you that no one can shirk when something calls for A-class work. Secrets! The air is full of them; everywhere you turn there ' s a mysterious atmosphere. The answer to every question is Oh. that ' s a secret. What does it all mean? Something momentous, we are sure, but what? Is isn ' t Ku IClux, but meetings, the purpose ' of which remains deeply shrouded, are continually announced Then ' s a new- spirit prevalent, particularly between two definite groups; there ' s an air of we-know-something-that-nobody-else-kn ' iws. and the majority of our campus girls are blissfully ignorant of things happening a 1 around them. It ' s time to wake up, for something is happening. What ? You say you can loaf Tour whole months at a lime and have not a word said about it? You think you can bluff and get by with it all? Well, you maybe can — but I doubt it ' You say it ' s a waste of a lot of good time to work, so you get On without it? You ' re sure it vnffl bring you as much in the end? Well, maybe it will — but I doubt It! Pray, what is the use. you insist, somewhat bored, of making so much row- about it? Just take my advice, and cram up at the last. Well, maybe it pays— but I doubt it: Brush up socially the posters say — a good suggestion, for it is easy to forget that social duties have an important part in activities. Freshman opinions to the contrary, the four years spent in college are distressingly short ones, and the time lor encouraging friendships and acquaintances is limited. Remember that uninten- tional, but thoughtless, remarks do more harm than is ever imagined, and that a smile or a word often marks the beginning of r. x friend- ship. W. need a definite, conscious effort to develop this side of our school life. A splendid beginning has already been made in this direei the I. R. S. Committee. How tan we others make it a sun ess!

The best themes were written by Miss Louise Anderson. Tenth Grade, and Miss Miriam Brietz. Sopho- more. Fir. Rondthaler presented medals to Miss Louise Whitaker. representing the College, and Miss Lois McRae. the Academy, for maintaining th e best posture throughout the drive. Dr. Rondthaler then introduced the undergraduate representative. Miss Mary Howard Turlington, whose duty, he expl lined i« -o  •■ local interests closely allied with those throughout the world. She explained the beginning of the Student Friendship Fund drive. and Miss Wat kins, president of the Yonpg Women ' s Cbristi •■■•■ - at ion. told how the president ' s forum had decided to take the m. ' -ti r op: nam- ly. th--or gh m . 1 ' residents of the various classes, r with the several com- mittees appointed by them. Miss Watkins went on to show how- much a comparatively small sum of money means to the students whom this fund reaches. It is. indeed, appalling to stop and think that the S me S. ' , ivhJ.K ,-;,r, . , little here, can actually pay for the daily food of 100 students, two pairs of shoes, one suit of clothes, forty scientific textbooks, .i RussHn professor ' s salary fnr t- o months, and one year ' s tuition for two students over there. Miss Julia Frank, the TJ. R. from North Carolina College for Women, explained somewhat the organization of this fund. It was begun in 1915 as a relief measure for war prisoners, but has since been extended and used lor stu- dents in c ' ire ne d th-oosh—t Europe, especially in Russia for the last few years. The money is us d to buy food, clothes. book«? and laboratory equipment for these students and again in help- ing refugees to get back to their own country where they may be- come independent to learn Miss Frank called to attention the fact that men like Dr. Sherwood Eddy and Mr. Hoover were deeply inter- est -d in and heartily endorsed ■  « work being carried on by this fund. Miss Susie Roh-rts. vU i dent of the Student Self-Govern- ment Association of North Caro- College for Women, then to d a lit- tle of the conditions of the stu- dents in Europe today. She said that Central and Eastern Europe had lost one-third of its profes- sional men; and that the students, realizing the need for trained lead- ership, were willing to undergo un- told trials and suffering to pro- vide just this. It is hard to real- ize that there are 31,000 Russians who live on but one meal a day and that from fifty to ninety per cent are physically unfit to carry- on their work. Owing to the fact that the new countries es- pecially have had great difficulty in raising their budgets since the . ' ' ' ■ per i ent of the stu- pe to shift for themselves.

It shows the interior of a room done in soft grey with rose cur- tains at the windows. At the back of the room is a cozy fireplace, and the realistic looking fire sheds a soft glow over everything. Aside from its charm as a room, this is a rath-r u usral bo ' th. ' or o- side all the furnishings are old and quaint, anil three old-fash- ioned girls, perhaps come to life from the times of our grandmoth- ers ' days at Salem, are busily en- gaged in the old-time activities. An old sampler on the wall ex- plains the scene. Back in 1772 Old-fashioned girls. Wearing old-fashioned curls Studied hs ' il — Wh i th v nltyed Merely knitted and crocheted. At Salem. On the other side of the room the scene is one of marked con- trast for here we find three of our pres?nt-day girls in a very mod- ern setting. The floor lamp and Victrola could not have come from any other than our own age. The inscription on the wall explains the activities of this group: The girls of modern times With bodies as strong As their vigorous minds Can pass a stiff chemistry course And can play corking good Tennis and golf At Salem. Salem is very proud of her hrcth and takes this opportunity to thank all the girls who helped make it a success. MISS WEBB ENTERTAINS AT HALLOWE ' EN PARTY Jack-o ' -lanterns and witches were abroad Hallowe ' en night and penetra ' ed into the fastness of the Sisters House, taking possession of Miss Webb ' s room. Dozens of them. Jack-o ' -lanterns. witches and cats grinned down from the walls, while the party was in progress. The guests were seven fortunate maidens, who were Miss - advisees. On their arrival they were conducted by a sala- mander, who strangely resembled Margaret Herndon, to a little book in which they wrote some fitting rhymes. What is more appropriate for Ha ' lo we ' en than red aopl ?. rn l of fruit salad, pumpkin pie, and steaming punch, ghost stories and poems? Thus the hostess right royally entertained her guests and the evening merrily slipped by until the clock struck, like ■ ■ k whose sal ute tu ■ .1 banishes the rreed sp r- its back to concealment for an- other year. With deep regrets the party ended, but each guest car- ried away as a souvenir a big black cat swinging to a golden moon. THE SALEMITE WORLD NEWS To arms! To arms! the governor cries, Protect us From the Kian. Now all ye native sons arise, Each Oklahoma man! He closes legislature doors, He stations guards without, And with much raging bluster roars. We ' ll put the Klan to rout! Governor Walton was bitter or, perhaps, righteously indignant against the Ku Klux Klan in his battle with the legislature. When the latter attempted to impeach him. the governor balled up his fists, shook them at the represen- tatives, and said, You shall not! He called out the army, put guards before the state house doors, and refused admittance to anyone who even remotely re- sembled a lawmaker. In Okla- homa, three men may constitute a mob, so even poor, innocent re- porters were driven away. Ma- chine guns were set up. their for- midable mouths toward the pub- lic. In vain did the KKn assert loyalty to the state and nation. The doughty governor, his sus- picions once aroused, said, in ef- fect, Show me! and the soldiers remained on gua rd. It was rumored that ninety per cent of the army be ' onged to the Klans- man, and at the slightest signal from their Kleagle would abandon defense of the state house; but so far, they are either loyal, or else the signal has not been given. On Wednesday, the legislator? was to meet. The soldiers were to prevent a meeting. Promptly at noon, sixty- five representati v e r - ported for duty and the meeting was called to order. At this mo- ment, however. Adjutant -General Key interrupted and ordered the House to disperse. Being over- come by a superior force, the gal- lant legislators accordingly scat- tered, but now insist that a meet- ing was held and that they are only in recess. The war has sim- mered down to a long, dull court battle which will probably last un- til everyone forgets the cause of the quarrel. Bulgaria ' s farmer sons rise up But meet with opposition. And now they all are in a quite Uncomfortable position. Inspired, perhaps, by the exam- ple of their brothers across the sea, the peasants of Bulgaria are marching on their king and capi- tal. They, oo, were met by a military force, and have come to a standstill in the face of superior arms though they far outnumber the soldiery. The movement is largely made by farmers and peasants; consequently, it 11 pn.i.- ly organized and equipped, but nevertheless, is causing no little worry to the government. As a result, King Boris and his cabinet are said to have held an al.-mg.iL session last Saturday. The com- munists are interfering and have ordered a general strike to be- come effective on Monday. Whether this plan -will be carried out or not is uncertain, but its execution is extremely doubtful. According to precedent and the example of his contemporaries, King Boris has dissolved tne chamber of deputies. This seems to have become quite a habit with European sovereigns, whenever anything is not to their liking, they immediately dissolve some- thing. Indeed, it has become such an ordinary occurrence, that it is no longer very important, and the Bulgarian trouble is ex- pected soon to blow over. WIDENED SCOPE OF EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Unusual Opportunities Offered to Teachers and Students. Mention has been made, in a previous issue of our paper, of the increasing scope of the Depart- ment of Education. On Tuesday morning, Mr. Koos, of the Win- ston-Salem public schools. ex- plained in a short talk the pur- pose of the work, and made an- nouncement of the new members of the faculty. This new arrangi - ment, whereby Winston -Salem College is co-operating with the city school system, accrues to the advantage alike of teachers in the public schools and students in our own college. The teachers, by enrolling as regular students in Salem College, will be able to do work leading to a degree; or, in case they take work solely in the Department of Education they will be able, during the term, to meet the state requirements, hith- erto made possible only by attend- ance at summer school. Students taking work in Education will find mo3t of the facilities of a normal college made available in a col- lege of Arts and Sciences — an un- usual combination and opportun- ity. The progress in Education as a science has been so rapid and notable along experimental lines, with the introduction of new, modified methods, that any person interested in teaching would find it of great advantage to enroll in one or another of these enlarged educational courses. The entire department is under the direction of Miss Forman, and brings into the service of Salem College the following additional members of the faculty: Miss Roan, primary methods; Mr. Caldwell, grammar grade meth- ods; Mr. Koos, high school meth- ods; Miss Wallace, music teach- ing in public schools, grammar grade group ; Mr. Hathaway, teaching of physical education, grammar grade group; Miss Kelly, teaching of physical education, primary group; Miss Tickle, teach- ing of handwriting in public schools.

CAROLINA GLEE CLUB PRESENTS PROGRAM 1 he program given by the Uni- versity of North Carolina Music Clubs on last Tuesday night. In Memorial Hall, was sufficiently varied in theme to make an ap- peal to any music lover whether he he a devotee at the altar of the classical or the popular. The selections by the Glee Club were well ehosen; and their rendition of the compositions of Bach, Brahms. Palmgren. Dudley Buck, and others showed that the mem- bers of the club appreciated, in the true sense of the word, these masters. The two selections from Krelsler, by Mr. Weihe captivated the violin lovers, and Mr. Fitch ' s interpretation of the dash and brilliance of the familiar Rubin- stein Etude produced enthusiastic applause. The vocal numbers by Mr. Fitch and Mr. Cordon proved popular, for everyone loves On the Road to Mandelay, and The Old Road. As for the marvelous jazz of the Carolina Club Orches- tra and the rollicking Roll Dem Bones, by the male quartet— they succeeded in bringing down the house, and the enjoyment of the audience was enhanced by the fact that the participants them- selves so thoroughly enjoyed their own efforts. After the program had closed with enthusiastic cheers for both Carolina and Salem, the Seniors conducted the Glee Club boys to the living room of the Alice Cle- well Memorial Building, where a reception was given in their honor. The room was tastefully decorated with chrysanthemums and greens. In the receiving line were Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler, Mr. and Mrs. Heath, Miss Minnie Smith and Edith Hunt, president of the Senior Class. The jazz orchestra of the college furnished the music, while the hostesses and guests made new acquaintances or re- newed old ones. The Senior mar- shals then served a salad course. The members of the Glee Club who furnished so delightfully an evening ' s entertainment for Salem were Messrs. Cain, Floyd, Fulton. Gillikin, Haywood, Hudson, Mackie, Scott. Ship]). Taylor.

WEDNESDAY CHAPEL SERVICE DiM-iifisinn of College Newspaper and Annual. Wednesday chapel hour, this week, was devoted to a discussion of two of the leading organiza- tions of the student body of Salem College — the weekly newspaper and the college year book. Hazel Stephenson, in a brief talk, rehearsed the history of the paper from the beginning, three years ago, under the leadership of Miss Mildred de Barritt, head of the Department of English ; and carefully explained the manage- ment, both business and editorial. Several new departments have re- cently been added — among them, the Current History Column, with Miriam Brietz as editor; the Art Department, in charge of Mar- garet Marshall; the Circulation Department, under Constance Al- len; and an Open Forum column, to be used for the expression of general student opinion. At pres- ent, the editorial staff consists of five Seniors, including the editor- in-chief; four Juniors, including the managing editor; three Soph- omores; and a reporters ' club of six members, tw from each of the lower classes. Tne business staff includes a business manager, an assistant, and a circulation man- ager. Co-operation, Miss Stephenson urged, is essential to the success of any newspaper and there are various ways in which a student may contribute to the upbuilding of her own college weekly — notably, by turning in jokes heard on the campus and in the class room, and by writing for the Open Forum Column her opinion of things pertaining to life at Salem. The Salemite has been, for several years, a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Press As- sociation, and the general opinion is that it is an Al newspaper in an A-class college. The plans and problems of the Annual were presented by Jane Noble, editor-in-chief, and Mr. Higgins, faculty adviser. The staff began last May the task of design- ing this year ' s Annual, and the photographer is already here, tak- ing pictures of the campus and buildings, as well as various class groups and individuals. Co-opera- tion, in this respect also, is the keynote of accomplishment, and being present for pictures is one of the many ways in which each girl may express her interest. Last year ' s Annual compared favorably with other Annuals published by schools throughout the country, and to maintain that same high standard is the purpose of the present staff.

Native curiosity must be aroused and quickened. It is poor training which gives one an appreciation of the pre-Victorian essays of Ad- dison and his fellow essayists, and utterly neglects the modern type, representatives of which are Found in the Atlantic Monthly ' ' and other current magazines. Y. W. C. A. GIVES BIRTHDAY PARTY Prizes Awarded to Most Attrac- tive. All the girls of Salem College who are fortunate enough to have birthdays in June, July. August and September were guests at a charming and delightful Baby Party given by the Y. W. C. A. on Monday afternoon. About fifty children in their party frocks and suits came at five o ' clock to the recreation room. Socks, ribbons and curls, characteristic of child- hood days, were in evidence. Games dear to the hearts of all children were played. Master Buster Raper received the prize in the tug of war contest. Little Miss Polly Taylor was considered the prettiest baby at the party, and the priz for the cutest baby was awarded to little Miss Rosa Caldwell. The Lampkin twins. with their old colored mammy, were given first place as the most original. It was, indeed, a diffi- cult task to determine to whom to give the prizes, as all the little people were so attractive and pretty. After the games delicious refreshments were served to the children and other guests. A series of these birthday par- ties has been planned by Miss Elizabeth Roop, chairman of the social department of the Y. W. «. ' . A. Cabinet. This is the first year that these parties have been given at Salem, and judging by the first, they are sure to be i success. MISS KELLEY TO SPEAK AT CHAPEL Miss Elizabeth K el ley, president of De. 1 North Carolina Educational Association, will speak at the reg- ular Wednesday morning chapel service, November 14. at 11 a. m. Mis? Kelley has had tlie very wid- est experience in public education. While in the service of the North Carolina Department of Education she has devoted special attention to problems of illiteracy and was. in actuality, the originator of the famous moonlight schools for adult illiterates. The administra- tion has invited Miss Kelley lo tell the story of her personal expeii- ences in the many exceptional fiebls of, educational adventure. CTVDENT FRIENDSHIP CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED i ' ' Miilinued on page -■ I within these countries and the students themselves who are set- ting up factories, making lamp shades and doing all in their power to help themselves, lend their aid until morning breaks? In conclusion, Miss Helen An- derson, president of the Young Women ' s Christian Association of North Carolina College fer Women, explained why this work should particularly interest the students of Salem College. Firs: of all, as students themselves, they ought to have an understand- ing of and sympathy for the prob- lems of these students; and, sec- ondly, they ought to uphold the stand their representatives took on this question at the Blue Ridge Conference this summer. But big- ger I linn rjther of these is me spirit of love and fellowship in- volved and the confidence these students have in America. I is up to them, therefore, to keep burning the fires of friendship that have already been kindled; and when the dawn comes they will rejoice in having had a part in bringing about world peace. In a few added words, Dr. Rondthaler expressed his joy that such an opportuni y for seu-ueni i and sacrifice had come to the student body. It is withi i me power of the latter to make a definite contribution in the inter- est of humanity. What results will ] leeember the eighth, which marks the close of the drive, ATHLETIC CHART IS MADE BY MR. HIGGINS Mr. Higgins has been hard at work again, and has prepared the Athletic Chart for 1924. Every- body knows the great interest taken in the raising of the ther- mometers last year, but this year there will be an even greater fas- cination in watching the compass- needles go around and the sections of the compasses fill with color. The chart is most attractive this year. Tt is as large as the one of last year and has been hung in the lobby of Memorial Hall. The words. Salem ' liege, are plainly printed at the top. There is a large compass in the center rep- resenting the entire college, and four smaller ones grouped around this one representing the four classes. On different parts of the chart are placed symbols of fill the athletics of Salem. The bas- ketball is just hovering on the edge of the basket, the volley ball is passing gracefully over its net. the poles for track, the golf bag. the hockey sticks, the baseball bats, and the tennis racquets, all emphasize phases of work done here. The most original symbol is a pair of dark brown shoes, representing the Hiking Club. Each student has a distinct part to do to cause the compass of her class to be encircled. She must go on five hikes or come out rue five practices of any spurt before she can receive any cret i ' . Wh n she has completed this number, the check representing her individual work will be col- ored, and the needle moved on to- ward one hundred degrees. It can be seen that the neglect of one person will cause a big white spot to be left in her class compass. Every girl v-ho has any Salem spirit and any class spirit will do her part, and as all Snlemites are thoroughly loyal, it is hoped that every compass will soon pass from zero t one hundred. ANNOUNCEMENTS The North Carolina Parent- Teacher Association will meet in Winston-Salem next week. Mrs. Richard Reeve of Philadelphia, international president, and Mrs. Edward Spruill. of High Point. stat- ' p resid en t . will be distin- guished guests.

Because he attempted to slip a note to Re- becca, the little Quaker maid, he was severely reprimanded, so on to a Puritan school he wended his way. The rhymes of The New England Primer were carefully recited by all the students, includ- ing the little Virginian. From these three little plays the education of Germany, England, and America was shown. In Ger- many, religion, classical learning, and the vernacular were stressed; in England science soon became the most important subject; and in America every school was a product of and dependent upon the church influencing that par- ticular section.

A cozy room where musty books Peep out from unexpected nooks, A fire piled high with log of oak Sparks fling out in clouds of smoke A clock tiek-tocking on the wall. No other company at all.

Page one hundred sixty-four Class History ] SUALLY class historians have heen chosen because of their ability, but I claim a unique though somewhat embarrassing reason for my election, that of mv long sojourn here, being rather a historical landmark. I was not much surprised to overhear a remark that one of the new girls made to a sightseer: Yes, th: tower of the church is one hundred and ten feet high and over there stands a girl who has been here eleven years. I was that girl. Since 1 have been here so long 1 ought to be able to write down what I have lived through. Many began school with me eleven years ago, but there are only two of the original number to graduate this year, Miriam Anderson and I. As we mounted the steps of knowledge year by year the others came to us. Our life at Salem was rather uneventful until we became members of the eighth grade. Then as high school students we began our active career, which has lasted for four eventful years and, being so eventful, they may well be divided into four epochs. Epoch I The eighth grade brought four permanent additions to our class: Helen Board, Lois McRae, Anita Ghigo, and last, though how truly may I say not least, the other Dot, or Dorothy Frazier] as she should be recorded in history. What would we have done without her! She lightened our hearts with her merriment, amused us by her pranks, kept us in a state of perpetual giggles with her antics and generally saved us from dire despair. Although at first incapable of motion on account of a bad case of poison ivy, the Salem atmosphere soon restored her to the despair of the faculty and to the joy of her classmates. The months passed until the time came for the basketball games. The rain forced us indoors, but any way we played a hard-fought game, and there has been no prouder and hap- pier band of Freshmen than we when our team won over the ninth and went down in defeat only before the eleventh, but to be in the finals was glory immeasurable for us. Who can recount how many lemons our valiant team consumed, or how many sticks of chewing gum they made use of? It has always been a wonder to me how Helen Board got in her mouth at one time seven sticks of chewing gum, all a different flavor. Although on other and ordinary days it surely would have given us a bad case of indigestion, this being a special day we survived. It was indeed a happy day and it was made even more happv by the news that two of our girls had made varsity; namely, Helen Board and Dorothy Schallert. Late in the spring we entertained our sister class with a picnic. We went in yvading played baseball, generally enjoyed ourselves and developed a crop of colds the following week. Even as all perfect days must come to a close, so must vears, however perfect, and so we parted to met again in the fall. Epoch II Now we were ninth graders so we flunked and did everything else expected of the ninth grade. Indeed so successfully did we flunk that Mr. Heath held a special meeting of our grade and lectured us on all our conduct, poor work and overabundance of pep. However, we redeemed ourselves when we gave a class play, Crandford Dames. As the costumes were old-fashioned, we had some trouble learning the art of sitting down in hoop skirts and indeed it was an art, for we had to sit down just exactly right. If we sat down the tiniest bit wrong calamity was sure to follow. At basketball how we did shine! Our only sorrow was that our victory meant defeat for others. Again two of our girls made varsity, ' Helen Board and our captain, Dorothy Frazier. Near the end of the term we invited our sister class to a picnic at Dunlap Springs. The party which was in two divisions became separated. One division had the chicken salad the other the potato chips. Both crowds were verv much worried until all finally arrived at the springs safe, sound and hungry. We returned home in the evening a bunch ' of tired but happy girls. The best of friends must part and so did we in the late spring. Epoch III The fall brought us again to Salem a band of joyful and wise Juniors. We were sadly beaten in volley ball, but any way two of our girls made varsity team, Miriam Anderson and Page one hundred sixly-five Dorothy Schallert. Remembering that tor there to be a winner there must be a loser, we were comforted. After Christmas our first thought was of the Junior-Senior banquet, but the arrival of mid- terms and the first snow successfully eradicated it from our minds for a while. We again won the championship in basketball. Our joy knew no bounds. Then, too, our whole team made varsity — Dorothy Frazier, our captain and side center; Helen Board and Miriam Anderson, guards; Mary Audrey Stough and Dorothy Schallert, forwards. Was there ever such a class? The Junior-Senior banquet returned to our minds in time and we decided to have a pink tea at the Robert E. Lee Hotel. We were the first class that had ever given a party there so we felt very important. We wanted apple blossoms for decorations so we practically scoured the neighboring country for them, but as we could find no farmer willing to part with his apple blossoms, we finally had to use sweet peas, which were very lovely. If the Seniors enjoyed the party as much as we did they had a good time. After we came out of the Orangerie, where we had our pink tea, we stayed on the mezzanine floor and listened to the orchestra. When they stopped playing we composed an orchestra of our own — piano, ukelele and violin. Time for returning to Salem came all too soon, but as we had to leave we did it cheerfully. Our sister class entertained us on a picnic at Flat Rock. We went on the street car as far as we could and from there we walked and carried the food. Again a part of our crowd got lost, but in the end we all arrived at the rock, where we fell and bumped our heads, got our hands full of cactus needles and exhibited shockingly bad manners in fighting over a pie. We returned home, but were almost sick the next day — the effects of overeating. The end of this school year again separated us. Epoch IV — The Last When we returned what had happened to us? A gravity was evident that had never been there before. Dr. Pfohl examined our pulses and took our temperatures, but could find nothing the matter, so finally the faculty decided that it was just our way of being Seniors, for so we were. We could feel the difference from the moment we first sang Standing at the Portals of the Opening Year. During the volley ball-soccer season we lost none of our gravity. The final soccer game, which was not final at all, ended with a score of o to o. It was replayed, our team winning a hard-fought game with a score of 3 to o. In volley ball the opposing team won the first game and we the second. They won the third game and so won the championship. At the volley ball-soccer banquet we had a most marvelous time. A sumptuous repast, intermixed with songs, yells and toasts from those closely associated with us, was greatly enjoyed. Again many of our team made varsity — Miriam Anderson in volley ball, Dorothy Frazier, Mary Duncan McAnally, Mary Audrey Stough, Helen Board, Marian White and Dorothy Schallert in soccer. At mid- terms we had some additions to our class — those who had formerly been almost but not quite eleventh graders. Now that we have reached that longed-for stage of perfection, we find it but leading to a way of higher perfection. After commencement we, the Class of 24 will leave Salem Academy. To all those who helped the impetuous lot of youngsters to become sedate and dignified Seniors, we tender our most sincere thanks, and mav thev some dav find a class worthv of their endeavors.

In the background is a merry little brook tinkling its way musically along. Most of the trees are gnarled and old and a breeze softly stirs their leaves. In the foreground is a bare semi-circle ' with a felled tree lying to one side. We judge it is early in the aftjrnoon, for there are hardly any shadows cast by the trees. All is still for a few minutes, then faintly can be heard the creaking of wagon wheels the snort of horses as they trudge along under the heavy weight of the wagons. Voices are heard calling and singing to one another, then a gypsy band enters at the back of the stage In the first wagon we see a tall, dark gypsy nomad, and bv the dominating way he gives orders we recognize him as the gypsy king. With him we see a withered old woman whose face is scarred and seamed by exposure and age. As she is helped down from the wagon and hobbles to a log with the aid of a cane we see she has piercing eyes that give her a rather supernatural look. ' 1 he men, children and women clamber out of the wagons and go about their various tasks making ready their home for the night. (The gypsy king or first gypsy comes forward.) First Gypsy: This is a place of rest and beauty. The air is sweet, the landscape restful. Here we will pitch our tents and bide for as long as we wish. Second Gypsy (coming from the other side of the stage): From the summit of yonder hill I can see a large city, and if you listen vou can hear the soft tones of bells First Gypsy: Oh, yes, I ' ve heard of those bells.

Helen: Helen Board, witchmother. WiTCHMOTHER: Another Helen. Your namesake of Troy makes you love conquest. You will be an interior decorator. Your taste in harmony and colors is your talent and you will use it well. But as usual, man proves the stronger — a wealthy bachelor he is. You decorate his home and then decide it is really too nice to leave. Who is that auburn-haired girl standing over by yonder tree? Helen: Why, that is Mary Audrey Stough. Witchmother (to Mary Audrey): Come, let me tell you what you wish to know. Even now, Mary Audrey, I can tell by your pose, strength and cleanliness that you are an athlete. My cards say that a few years hence we will find you returning from abroad laden with trophies won in the Olympic games. Certainly this is a class of winners. Mary Audrey (calls off the stage) : Helen ! Oh, Helen Bailey, do come and see what she has to say of you. (Enter Helen Bailey and Mary Candle . Helen : I can ' t hardly wait. Witchmother: Salem will not lose one of her flock. You will stay with her. Is it that you love her so? Knowing the ways and customs of Salem, you will remain to help your dear house-mother and later take her place. Your time, my dear, will be well filled, taking numbers of the boys who check the square and keeping peace on your third dormitory after lights. You, poor child, will have a busy time, but being busy you also will be happy. Mary Candler (impatiently); Please tell mine next. I ' ve waited so long. Witchmother: ' Tis hard for me, but I will tell your fortune, and then I will rest awhile and you may watch the children dance. You are with much ambition and are striving in every way to make your dream come true.

Her flashing big black eyes will set me to pondering and quite likely I ' ll ask the footman who she is. ' Tis the great Dr. Schallert who has charge of the hospital, he will answer. Then I will feel proud that I once told her fortune, will I not? Your chum may come now. (Dot Frazier takes Dot Schallert ' s place on the log). Witchmother: The cards make me able to just close my eyes and see into your future. I see a big well-equipped gymnasium and 1 hear a voice. ' Left right, left right. Get in step and stay in.

Witchmother: Miriam, your task is going to be a life of real unselfishness. It takes real backbone to try and pound religion into little black heathens. But your work will not meet without effect, and they will all but worship their white teacher. Now let me rest. My cards weary me. My throat is dry and I need food. (She goes into a wagon to rest. .411 the Seniors have returned and they prepare their picnic lunch. The dirty gypsy children stand around staring and hungrily grab any food that red them. The girls serve the other gypsies. After they finish eating the gypsies sing for the girls and one of the gypsy girls gives a dance. The witchmother returns much refreshed by her rest and resumes her seat on the log).

Now, each one will turn his own way Out on life ' s tossing sea; And each will strive to pilot his ship To the harbor of safety. The rudder of knowledge will guide us Through all the storms of this sea; And may we, as true steersmen, reach our goal With a sense of security. M. W., ' 24. Page one hundred seventy Last Will and Testament |E, the Senior Class of the School of Salem, unsound and indisposed of mind and lacking in memory, do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament, revoking and making void every and all other wills made by us heretofore. First, we direct our executors both here and after named to pay all just and unjust debts as well as other incidental expenses as we pass out. We advise that the wherewithal to pay these debts be obtained by the auctioning off, to the highest bidder, all of our school books. We know that these will bring a good price, due to the fact that most of them are as good as new. Item: We, the Senior Class, will and bequeath to Dr. Rondthaler an automatic stop-watch, sincerely hoping that it will be of great use to him as time-keeper of future soccer games. Item: We, the Senior Class, leave to Mrs. Herndon the guardianship of the incoming Seniors. May she find in them some of our shortcomings. Item: We, the Senior Class, to Miss Birrell and Miss Doughton bequeath our absence, fully realizing that it would have been acceptable to them many years before. Item: We, the Senior Class, leave to the president of next year ' s Senior Class a pair of Helen Board ' s cast-off shoes. May they cover her difficulties in the future as they have covered the ground in the past. Item: We, Dorothy Schallert and Dorothy Frazier, will and bequeath to Eliza- beth Rondthaler and Hervey Jones our perfect record of attendance on Wednesday morning chapel. May the good luck that has not been ours be with them in the future. Item: I, Mary Duncan MacAnally, will and bequeath to Nellie Da Senior dignity. Item: I, Helen Bailey, after due consideration, give and bequeath my place on the honor roll to Josephine McCorkle. Item: I, Alliene Hoover, will and bequeath to the future occupants of third dormitory my chafing dish along with the warning that to use it after lights is usually not wise. Item: I, Lois McRae, will and bequeath to Anne Hairston my Roman nose. Item: I, Marion White, give and bequeath my ability as a toe dancer to Emma Mallonee. Item: I, Velma Cline, give and bequeath my tortoise shell spectacles to any poor Junior who aspires to look wise. Item: I, Mary Candler, give and bequeath to Elizabeth White my goo-goo eyes. Item: I, Martha May Haney, will and bequeath to Kathleen Parrish my feminine vivacity along with my natural love for Latin. Item: We, the Senior Class, leave to the incoming students of Salem all of our old shoes to throw at our ever-present guests, the rats. Jawes my Page one hundred seventy-one Item: All the rest of our estate, real and unreal, personal and mixed, we give, devise and bequeath to the future students of Salein, to their heirs and their heirs we assign it forever. Item: We. the Senior Class, do hereby nominate Mr. E. J. Heath as the executor of this, our last will and testament, and the guardian of the incoming classes. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal on this, the twenty- sixth day of May, 1924, A.D. Mary Audrey Stough. Testator. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the Senior Class of Salem Academy as their last will and testament in the presence of us who, at their request and in the presence of each other, hereunto subscribe our names as witnesses.

To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step toward knowledge. A Scotchman wishing to know his fate at once telegraphed a proposal of marriage to the lady of his choice. After spending the entire day at the telegraph office he was finally awarded late in the afternoon by an affirmative answer. If I were you, suggested the operator, when he delivered the message, I ' d think twice before I ' d marry a girl that kept me waiting all day for my answer. a, na, retorted the Scot. The lass who waits for the night rate is the lass for me. What is a human dynamo? One has said that it is a man with every- thing he has on charged.

He loaded several leaky ships with pots and pails to bail ' em, Then drew his sword, cried AH Aboard, and told his men to sail ' em. Chorus (with trombones) Sail ' em. Sail ' em ! The steamers ' whistles hail ' em. On the pier Queen Isabel Waves her hand and gives a yell, I ' ve pawned my crown to sail ' em. II (Anti-Strophe) Aboard the Santa Anna, the flagship of the fleet, Munching a ripe banana, the captain kept his seat. There ' s no more coal in the stoke-hole, we ' re out of gas and beef, A timid sailor, still growing paler, apostro- phized his chief. Chorus (with traps) Sail ' em. Sail em. If the crew kick I ' ll jail ' em! From the bridge the captain roared: Heave the engines overboard. I ' ve pledged my life to sail em. Ill (Epode) Consider well Columbus ' trip, and Isabella ' s too. The queen had paid for every ship; the cap- tain cowed the crew. He bowed their necks to swab the decks, though tempests came to pale ' em. She gave ducats in bags and buckets, un- counted wealth to sail ' em. (Anvil Chorus) Salem, Salem, We, too, aspire to hail ' em.
