Salem Academy - Quill Pen Yearbook (Winston Salem, NC)

Foreword Included among our treasured traditions at Salem is the custom of singing ‘Standing at the Portal,” an old Moravian hymn, at the be- ginning of the school year, again in January, and at the close of school. Hardly a student, past or present, can hear that familiar song without recalling her first opening chapel when she was ‘standing at the portal’’ of her life at Salem. Here at the Academy many doors of opportunity lie open before us. As we cross the threshold of the portal marked classes, we begin to realize the importance of education and to become more interested in our studies. Behind the gym door we find not only physical recrea- tion, but a chance to learn and practice good sportsmanship. As we pass through other portals labeled activities and organizations, we are finding fun and relaxation while we are becoming well-rounded in- dividuals. In May the door of grad- uation opens for seniors, and they find themselves ‘standing at the portal’’ of college and the future. Glancing back, they see, however, that the gates of Salem are not closed for them but are welcoming the Class of ‘60 back in their new status as alumnae. This year the ‘Quill Pen’’ staff has endeavored to catch a glimpse of the activities behind each por- tal at Salem and record in this year- book the important events which took place behind the entrance gate of the Academy.
