JTI.vkei ' ii - SALEM ■ ' - ' tm. ■ e» . ' ' HE GIRL who has completed her course of study at Salem Academy and College will naturally carry away with her a store of memories that will , , often rise up before her in later life. These pic- ji tures, tinted, mellowed by the hand of Memor -. ■ Vj:.- the oldest of old masters, bathed in the golden lights of the past, become very precious in the years to come.
