Hri)man Miss Lehman From Seniors to Alumnae HE change from Seniors to Alumnae, which comes in the natural sequence of events, is exceedingly important and interesting. If the four years of college life and training in Salem have done their legitimate work, the Salem Stamp. as a rule, is not to be effaced by the roughest, hardest experiences of life. The system of room-company life, which characterizes all of our schools, is the best substitute for careful home training that has, thus far, been devised. The work of character building goes on steadily, from day to day, fostered by little duties well and regularly performed — rounding off a corner here, chipping off a little bit of selfishness there — until a well-rounded personality is insensibly formulated. The simple pleasures, happy games which rounded oul the lime. And made ihe busy months seem days, from breezy chime lo chime. The old clock in the belfry, that lold the fleeting hours; The stroll up Cedar Avenue, mid springing grass and flowers; The happy Chrislmaslide ; the blessed Easier morn. X hen on ihe forming mind and hearl eternal ihings are born — All ihese. and more lhan tongue can name, or moving finger wrile. Have had their molding influence, to nobler lhin°s incite; And not alone ihe knowledge of chemicals and rays. Of Greek and Latin classics, of angles, years, and days. Have gained, beside ihe faithfulness, the ready hand and skill — The naming thai has slood ihe lest of human good or ill; Have made the fiome the biding-place, where love and influence flow. In ever-widening circles, as the ages come and go. And as the passing yea s go by. so full of stress and care. This forming influence slill is felt, a benediction rare. The young woman is then ready to go from college walls to be a power, a leader, wherever her lot may be cast — in the home, the church, in society, in the educational world — and wherever you find her you will see that her work is well done; you will find a capable, efficient, modest, womanly woman. As we glance over the lists of our fifteen or sixteen thousand Alumnae of the past, and of the present, we see noble names gleaming, like stars, in the hollow dark of one hundred and ten years. Beginning at the White House, two of our girls presided there with singular tact, grace, and dignity. As wives of senators, governors, military leaders — such as Stonewall Jackson, Hill, Pender, and others — they rise up before us so numerously we can not even name them. They have been and are the very heart of our Southern life, and their influence spreads all over our land. When the awful news of the Titanic tragedy came flashing over the wires, before sunset a Salem Alumna in New York had gathered about her a band of sixteen devoted women, and before the Carpathia touched the wharf they were there, ready to feed, clothe, and help the pitiful survivors. Nor are these the only instances; others may occupy less prominent positions, but the trained eye, and ear, and hand, and heart are ever ready to help, to soothe, to comfort, and to bless. You will not find our girls clamoring for recognition or distinction, but modestly, quietly filling the niches where the Great Master of Life has placed them. They are the very pulse of the machine, with the endurance, foresight, strength, and skill, which Wordsworth so aptly gives them. We do not want this stamp to be blurred, or effaced, in the mad rush of so-called Modern Progress, and we are sure they will go on — in no wise inferior to those who have gone before — veritable King ' s Daughters, polished stones fitting into their several places in the complex structure of our strenuous modern age. E. A. Lehman. Editors ' Note 3N presenting to the public this the Ninth Volume of Sights and Insights we do not expect it to be received as the work of genii, but rather as a re- membrance of the scenes so closely connected with the Class of 1913. It was with this end in view that we have worked, all the while hoping that our attempt would be a credit to the class and a pleasure to our friends. 10 BRICKENSTEIN Editorial Board Annual Board Editor-in-Chief FLORENCE BINGHAM Dayton a.

Starr Though Spring caresses inlo verdure light The boughs that moaning sped our winter way, Their shade envelops us beneath in gray; Dim shadows dull our hope-enlivened sight. Close-clustered leaves in unison invite Upon us chill, encircling, dim dismay. We see beyond unbroken shade that may. Perchance, include a splotch of restful while. Forlorn, we pray for surcease of the gloom, — When blows a breeze that sets the leaves apart! Enfilter through the rays that shades consume; At once the path ' s a diamond vender ' s mart! The rays abo ve the tree fresh hopes illume; Fresh hopes that live, though flecks of light depart. 21 ■ Bishop Edward Rondthaler H E Senior Class ors: Red and Black V er : American Beauty Ho: Dux femina facli OFFICERS EDITH CARROLL p RE5 , DENT HELEN KEITH Fmsr V,c E -P R es,d E nt MARY HARTSELL...

Since joining our class, in our Sophomore year, Julia has been noled for precision and prompt attendance both in chapel and in class. Her greatest weakness lies in always giving up to her opponent, and we greatly deplore this fault. FLORENCE ESTHER BINGHAM Daytona. Fla.

Let a fool hold her tongue, and she mill pass for a sage. We have given Flossie the title Fido, because, in her trustfulness and dependency on others, she is very like her canine namesakes. She has never been able to take care of herself, which seems peculiar in one so large, and her deference to the wishes of others shows a self-forgelfulness which is almost inexplicable. We can not force this meek and gentle maid to be the least bit bossy, or self-assertive, and she has puzzled us greatly; but we have con- cluded that she is one of those phenomena of Nature which must be taken for granted. 25 MARGARET CATHARINE. BRICK.ENSTEIN Winston-Salem, N. C. Entered 1909-1910 Essay ; Beethoven and His Nine Symphonies Secretary of Class. 1909-10. She can on either side dispute ; And then change sides, and still dispute. ' Pec is one of the foundations of our class, hav- ing grown up with it from the time of the stone ages. She is one of the peacemaking (?) mem- bers, and ever uses her influence to promote good fellowship. MIRIAM LIZETTE BRIETZ Winston-Salem, N. C. Entered 1909-1910 Essay: North Carolina and the Civil War She wastes no word On the common herd. History does not go back far enough to tell when Miriam joined what now constitutes the Class of 1913, but it records a most faithful attendance — ihough truly she is so quiet that no one knows when she is present. MARY HAZEL BRIGGS High Point, N. C.

Hazzie is one of those unfortunates who have loved and lost, and she consoles herself by raising her melodious voice in song. For some time we mistook this melody for an owl ' s screech, and it brought the same bad luck, for we have never ceased lo be disturbed by it. However, we forgive her this, since her sweet and considerale nature is a recom- pense for much. PAULINE CARTER BROWN Salem, N. C. Entered 1909-1910 Essay : History of the Moravian Church The Fiends looked al her, and were abashed. PAULINE is such a demure, timid little creature that we all tread lightly when around her. Her sainl-like ways are a wonder lo us all, and we fear the early termination of her existence on this ac- count, if not from brain fever. KATHARINE BRUTON BURT SALISBURY. N. C.

Miss Butt has gained a class-famed reputation for her power of detecting pains, and so accom- plished is she that only one dares to rival her. Our sympathies are constantly demanded by her frail constitution, and it is a great strain upon us. JOHNSIE GLENN CAMERON Rockingham. N. C.

Club Editor of Every disease has a champion to defend it. for error is always talkative. Cammie Johnson is Katharine ' s rival in find- ing ailments, that is, when she is not too ill to sit up and lake notice. Cammie is a wonderful acrobat, and we marvel at her looseness of joints and gymnastic accomplishments. We are bemoan- ing ihe fact lhat we are only able to send one representative to report her ascent of the Alps. 2S EDITH ELIZABETH CARROLL Burlington, N. C.

We can hear her coming a mile away, and can tell the palh that she has Iraveled by the chaos remaining. We have become reconciled lo her, but to order and nealness she will never adapl herself. EVELYN RANDOLPH CORB1N Winston-Salem, N, C. Entered 1909-1910 Essay: Methods of Acting — Ancient and Modern Frail in body and in mind. This tiny little girl is in love. How do we know it? No, we have not been questioning her, for her very actions speak it. She is by nature uncom- municative and unprying, so we have no persona! proof. 29 MELEDIETH FRAZIER Winston-Salem, N. C.

She seems lo outsiders stuck up, as she looks down on all the rest of us when she leads our line in the processional; but we know what kind of a girl she is. RUTH HENRIETTA GIERSCH Winston-Salem, N. C. Enlered 1909-1910 Essay: The Child-Labor Question Vice-President of Class, 1909-10. A fantastic n i is a n oman s an . Ruth is known by her lack of speech. Il seems an effort for her lo speak even in a slow, listless way. and we all have lo urge her, promising com- plete silence, before she will take part in our class meetings.  30 GRACE ARP GRABBS King, N. C. Entered 1909-1910 Essay : The Balkan War Her one fault is that she has no faults. Grace Grabbs — the one Senior who is so desirous of knowledge that she doesn ' t wait for it to come to her, but gracefully grabs at every thread of information, but keeps it in seclusion. MARY LEE GREENE Yackin College, N. C. Entered 1911-1912 Essay : The Industrial Progress of the American People Critic in H. L. S., 19T2-I3. Through all her had doings and base slolhfulness, We find nothing Worthy to be writ or told. Mary Lee ' s chief forte is Bishop ' s Latin, in which she distinguishes herself to a marvelous degree; always gaining a very high number somewhere in the vicinity of 70. Coming from a college town, great brilliancy is naturally expected. 31 MARY FRANCES HARTSELL CON ' CORD. N.

He sap the stars shall slacken in their paces Ere yet her tongue should fail her. Alas! what can we say of this girl, who by one means has sained so great a vic -lory. and thereby raised herself above the plane of common mortals? Despite her elevation she communicate; most often with the world in general, for her volubility is ever unsurpassable and unsuppressible. LALRA ELIZABETH HASTINGS Winston -Salem. N. C. Entered 1910-191 I Essay: The Character of Mane Antoinette and Her Influence on the French Revolution She always has her say. Come when or what it may. She speaks much on matters of little importance, and litlie on matters of much importance. In fact, to us she usually appears rather light-headed. but we dislike lo criticize. 32 MARY STUART HAYDEN Greensboro, N. C.

L. S., 1912-13; Advertising Editor of The hy. , am lit with the sun. ' ' We think Stuart should be treated for nervous- ness, as she distresses her friends by being kind of hoppy. She is a Jack-of-all-trades and good at nothing, and, though she tries to appear a star of originality, we have evidence to prove that her bright remarks come from sources other than her own ivory mind.

Her reddening face Beneath its garniture of burning gold. Weesie ' s friends are few and far between, as the several years of close association have unfolded to us the hidden dangers of her character; her lemper being more flaring than her hair. Alas! we bear scars from the scorching heat of both. 33 NELL GRATTAN HUNNICUTT Athens, Ga. Entered 1911-1912 Essay: The Four Great English Novelists Chaplain of E. L.

This classmate of ours, by her boisterous and un- seemly conduct, has often brought blushes to our cheeks. She is much given to argument, never yield- ing a point to any one, and we believe that, if she should decide to become a lawyer, she would be a howling success. HELEN BELLE KEH H Winston-Salem, N.

There is a deal of deviltry behind this mild exterior, Miss Maude is one of the most deceitful members of our class. She goes about with a saint in Heaven expression on her face, but woe unto the man who wins her ! Surely his eyes will be opened. 35 MARY LOU MORRIS Concord. N. C.

S ie hath a lean and lungry loolf. MlLLY, if it were not for her unexcitable and extremely timid nature, we believe would one day become a great actress, for she has an unsurpassable faculty for pretending. Though she knows little she bluffs through much, and by this means hopes to become a grand opera singer. KATHARINE 1SABELLE PARKER Pine Town, N. C.

There was a time that when the brains mere out, the girl would die. Izzie is a staunch believer in Heaven ' s first law — that of order. To be on time, and to study hard are her only aims in life. She cares not for crushes, and holds herself high above all light and foolish things. 37 MARY VIRGINIA PELL Raleigh, N. C.

Here you find the world ' s only living question mark, who always comes in on ihe freight train, but arrives just the same. When not thus employed, she dearly loves lo display her vocal powers, though the exact location of said powers we have never been able lo ascertain. CAROLINE ADELE PEMBERTON Concord. N. C.

No hand so cruel, and no heart so hard; By great conceit her beauty is marred. This Beautiful Doll has indeed proved the power of beauty over brains, particularly in her many recent conquests. For all important events, an extra half hour is required lo cover up her ears, and this unseemly vanity has been exceedingly detri- mental to the reputation of the Senior Class.

J3 Last Will and Testament of Class of 1913 E, the Class of 191 3, of Salem Academy and College, Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, State of North Carolina, being of a sound mind, on this day, June 2, 1913; and having passed through the valley and shadow of four long scholastic years, and having, at last, attained the long-hoped- and sought-for position of Seniorhood — the Ideal of our Freshman dreams — hereby ordain and declare this docu- ment to be our last will and testament. FIRST: — We do hereby appoint our loyal aide-de-camp, Mr. Rice, as our lawful executor, to carry into effect this our last will and testament. SECOND: — Our most valuable possession we bequeath to our Alma Mater, that is, the sacred memory of our manifold virtues and faultless conduct. THIRD: — To every succeeding Junior Class, we bequeath our mascot — our black goat. Having received his position, as mascot, in the aforesaid class, he has ever con- sidered it his duty to remain faithful to the epithet of Junior — faithful even though his guardians should advance into seniority. Fourth : — All our boudoir caps we bequeath to the Committee who are making a collection of these treasures for our Library Museum. FIFTH : — Our selections from Wordsworth we joyfully give to Mr. Tally to start the furnace fires, under Annex, so that the succeeding Senior classes may have the warmth and flower of youth, and the heat of earnest ambition, to stimulate their respected persons. SIXTH : — To our esteemed successors, who have earnestly striven to train our perceptions of the aesthetic, the beautiful, we bequeath our magic curlers and Marcel wavers. The latter we recommend when the breakfast bell fails to arouse them from slumber and nine o ' clock is fast approaching. SEVENTH : — Unto the present Juniors we bequeath our knowledge of the art of dignity, our insatiable thirst for knowledge, and our perfect decorum, with the advice (free of charge) that they exercise their lungs, and do not receive the censures we have gotten on account of our silent qualities. We recommend the admirable motto: Be not like dumb, driven cattle, be a talker in the strife. Eighth : — Upon Miss Lehman we bestow all our laundry lists, so carefully and promptly filled out during the year. May next year ' s Seniors imitate them, in as far as their capability will permit. NINTH : — Wishing to leave a clean, square record behind us, we have collected all our surplus money, which we were unable to spend, to present to Mr. Pfohl, our true friend in our want and poverty. This money is to serve as interest on the money we have borrowed and begged, and as a recompense for the hair he has lost in striving to keep our memories refreshed concerning our debts. Tenth : — We can not overlook the new addition to our Alma Mater, the Salem Suffrage League, so we bequeath all our implements of war, that we will no longer need. 45 to its ex-members, on condition that they smash the colored windowpanes around our front door. ELEVENTH : — We have deposited a check for thirty-nine cents in the Wacho bank, payable to the person who will answer the following questions: hovia What Would Happen ( 1 ) If the girls did not try to hurry giving out the mail? (2) If the girls did not want any mail, or should refuse something to eat? (3) If the music pupils should complain that they did not have enough practicing turns? (4) If Mr. Rice should walk in a slow gait? (5) If the girls requested that the rising bell should be rung earlier? (6) If Mr. Rondthaler should give a box party? (7) If any student (a certain Junior excepted) did not wish to go to any picture- show, at any time? TWELFTH : — Our physics teacher covets our little red experiment books, so we deny ourselves and donate them to him, to guide others in scientific paths. All our Latin word lists we have carefully prepared, and will bequeath to Bishop Rondthaler, to assist him in remembering us. THIRTEENTH: — To the Junior with the best lungs and shrillest voice we bequeath the charitable duty of auctioning off all the articles we may possibly leave in Annex, when we have departed to fresh fields and pastures new. FOURTEENTH : — We bequeath to each succeeding Senior Class all our multiple Senior Privileges. For fear you should overlook some of the trivial ones, we will mention: Partaking of refreshments in the drug stores. Spending our evenings in the picture-shows, when no play nor opera tempts us elsewhere. Receiving callers, whoever and as often as such are desired. Never rush lo be on the campus by five-thirty, but always be gracefully at your leisure, as is becoming to Seniorhood. FIFTEENTH: — We bequeath the electric lights, on the dormitory, by which our mirrors dimly reflect our silhouettes, to the incoming class. We did not need artificial lights, for our dormitory was sufficiently illuminated by the great brilliancy of our genius — in philosophy, sociology, and especially poetry. So this great boon we bequeath to our successors. In witness whereof this -will has been drawn up, and with full consent of the Class of 1913. Witnesses: EdTth Elizabeth Carroll Mary Hartsell Florence Bingham (Per) Geneva Robinson. 4fi Senior Class History Fresh The Experiences of the Class of 1913 m KW ' seems more appropriate to us than The History of the Class of 1913, for this class has truly had peculiar experiences. We hope not the experiences of a peculiar class. True, our mascot is a goat, and a real live one. with all the characteristics of that very peculiar animal. Perhaps we resemble it, too, as a class, in some respects. We have always been fortunate in butting into things, but, like our mascot, we have always come out at the right door whether it was the one we entered or not. It is a fact also that ours is the Class of 1913. No one dares dispute that. Some one was thought- less enough to say the year thirteen was an unlucky one in which to graduate. To which we responded, with one accord, that it could only be so if we failed to get our diplomas. We are not at all influenced by the Science of the Superstitious. Then, too, some have remarked that our class rings resembled signboards, because they were so plain — bearing only the letters Eta, Gamma Epsilon. To this we replied that we would have to plead guilty. Our rings are signboards, and they are the sign of a very plain class. Does any one dare dispute that? Our motto, in English, A woman can lead, has been taken for that of a Woman Suffrage League. However, we do not stand either for that or suffering women. We rarely suffer except when father ' s check, or billet-doux, fails to put in an appearance promptly quizzes that surely come during the year do pro- duce in us a queer emotion, we do not call it pain or suffering. We rather regard it as a time to show our sportsmanship, which we do by giving the pro- fessors an opportunity to write out another exam for us. We consider the teachers ' passion for giving quizzes, and not the consequences of our reports. It was in September, nineteen-nine, that we began our college course. We brought our climates with us; that action has been the cause of many equal and opposite reactions, and incidentally much confusion and tumult. We at once plunged into the first year ' s mysteries, such as botany, which is a living study : Soph an expected box from home, or a Indeed, though, the innumerable 47 Junior and into the dead languages, which are naturally not so. The instructors quickly caught on to our customs and manner of doing work, or we to theirs, and they treated us accordingly. We felt that we were making our- selves famous, and we regarded the upper classes with disdain. We had sufficient cause, too. Our team, the Freshman Team, lacked only one point of winning the annual game of basket-ball from the Sophomores. That year we got our first experience in class picnics and sales. Sales are great displays of skill and ignorance in the line of cooking. This is mentioned for the benefit of those who have never had that experience. The principal event of that year was the formal adoption of our motto, colors, and flower. We chose the American Beauty rose for our ideal flower and one that we could Iry to live up to. Three months of recreation. Then we returned to school and began the Sophomore climb. The path was narrow and had many turns in it. There were sonnets on rhetoric to be spontaneously developed. Finally, the time came when we considered chemistry a pastime and Virgil ' s Eneid a book for Sunday reading. We came so near winning the basket-ball game from the Seniors that they sent for the smelling-salts, and made other adequate preparations for the dreadful calamity. There is a song and a saying that Juniors are lovesick. We proved this saying to be entirely inconect. When we were Juniors there was dignity to spare. e were very much aware of our own importance, and whenever we saw the Seniors in their processional we were naturally reminded of how much better we could fill their places. The day for the wonderful athletic contest rolled around, and our president lead the goat out on the field of battle. It was his first appearance, and he led us to Senior If Napoleon had conquered the world as he started out to do he could not possibly have been as elated over it as we were over that basket-ball victory. It was the first time in our school history that such a thing had happened. ■48 Our special mission we fell was to excel, and we had no fear for the faleful morning in May when class grades were dealt out. So we gathered in the library to receive the cards which would tell us that we were within one step of the goal. We donned caps and gowns and began to promenade. Ten brass bands would have been required to drown out the noise, for every one was jubilant except the dear departing class. They wept The first chapel service of our Senior year found us proudly marching in the pro- cessional. Our caps and gowns came promptly, and in the evening by the moonlight, we, with stately tread, made our way to the big bonfire and cast in our Merry Widows, Tam-o-Shanters and Neopolitans, singing all the while, Good evening. Miss Epps, your hat is most as swell as mine. The year, well begun, has brought us all that we could wish our last college year to bring. We were told in the beginning that we must set the example. We certainly did in one thing. The Juniors won the game again this year; that was because the goat stayed in the background. Our experiences have been varied, but we shall bundle them up in an out-of-the-way place in our brains, and let them stay for keepsakes. The time for the coveted sheepskins is near at hand, and, while we are thirty-eight, we are pretty sure the supply will not give out; but for the encouragement of the class of nineteen-fourteen, as there are so many more of them, they might well be getting uneasy for fear that the supply will not be enough to go around. - We wish the new class the luck of getting to stay until Christmas anyway, to find out what a glorious place the Annex is. As we are leaving, our motto goes with us. It does not specify what a woman can lead, and it may be a mere man, but we hope at least to lead him to something worth while. So the Class of 1913 adjourns until its first reunion. M. McG.. ' 13. 49 Class Prophecy REENSBORO next stop! Change cars for Winston-Salem, shouted the porter. Could it really be possible that we were drawing so near to our Alma Mater? es. as we looked from car windows, the sights were familiar even though it had been seven long years since twenty- three of our banded thirty-seven had tearfully bidden farewell to our schooldays in this same old station. What changes just these few years can bring forth! I began to wonder just how many of our old number would gather, from the four corners of the earth. for this our first reunion. We were tired from our long journey across the continent, but Ruth still had energy- enough to ask her usual number of questions concerning the happenings that were about to take place. But I could forgive her. because for three years she had been matron of a Deaf and Dumb Institute, in Seattle, and. as we all knew her failing, could sympathize with her in her freedom. The first thing that greeted our eyes as we entered the station was the sight of one of those little yellow Salem pennants adorning the coat of a short, very, very ' stout woman. We looked and looked, then looked again. Of course it was Cammie. Just then she recognized us and accompanied us to the Winston train, all the way stumbling and falling as of old. Poor Cammie, a rolling stone gathers no moss. She had just returned from Europe, and was overburdened with bags and boxes covered with foreign labels. Her health was somewhat better, but her tale was so pitiful that we helped her aboard with her luggage. I was just about to enter the car when all at once I was roughly thrust aside, and saw Ruth flying in the opposite direction. ou people are so poky! Get out of my way! shouted a gayly clad woman, wearing a regular votes for women hat over her left ear. Hurry up there, Isabel, you are always late. If it hadn ' t been for you I ' d have had time to throw another brick at that mayor ' s window and have given it a good smash-up. ou always were a nuisance. We stood aghast. Geneva had always threatened to be a suffragette, but we never thought that she really meant it, and now. a- usual, she had enticed poor Izzie into this awful work. Stuart joined us at Terra - Cotta. where she had been residing since her marriage in the winter of 1914. and. of course, had much to tell us. as she was the only real romantic one of our class, and had braved the gossip of her world (Greensboro) and eloped. When we reached Winston-Salem a large delegation awaited us, both of those living in fawn and many of the visitors who had preceded us. 50 Times had changed in this world since our schooldays, and (he women had usurped the places of men. As we waited on the corner by the bank for the car which was to take us to Salem, I glanced up and on one of the windows saw the sign, Womack and Corbin, Attorneys-at-Law. I recalled their great argumentative powers and knew that they must be most successful in their profession. When we came in sight of Salem, from force of habit, every head was stuck out of the windows to see what we could see. Very little change had taken place during our absence, and we all made one grand rush for Annex, where we knew Miss Lehman would tell us all about our classmates who could not be with us. Just that morning Miss Lehman had received a cablegram for the Class of 1913 from Hazel, w ho, for the past year, had been living in China with her husband, a doctor who had gone there as a missionary. Her name was one of renown in that distant land, for even the Chinese recognized the merits of her voice. The country round about her home had been simply infested with rats, and Hazel ' s voice had rid the community of this pestilence (perhaps they had died from joy). Mary Pell had secured a position in Washington in the U. S. Examining Department. She was one of the most valued members of this board, and we all felt that she deserved this reputation, for in college she held the distinction of being able to ask more questions to the square minute than any one else. News of Louise had reached us even though she was living in a large city in Okla- homa, where her husband ' s business called him. She was an acknowledged leader in the Smart Set, which is far from what we had expected of our classmate, who, with us, had been so puritanical. We were sorry to hear that Helen Sumner, alias Maude, could not be with us. but it seemed that she had never been able to stop arguing that her opinion was best, and had completely broken down from the overtaxing of her vocal organs; and was now undergoing a rest treatment in entire seclusion in Canada. Cammie had much to tell us about Nell ' s romantic marriage to Count , at the close of their European tour during the summer after our graduation. Who would have thought that quiet little Nell would have been our class bride? But stranger things may happen and they did, for Adele and Sadie were pursuing their studies in the Boston Conservatory, and were rivaling each other in their exquisite voice culture. We expected great prominence for these two members of our class, as in every musical event in our college career they distinguished (?) themselves — and the class. Mary Lou and Miss Maude were residing in Old Town, the country round about which Miss Maude had made famous by her stories, for she had made use of those pleasant (?) tasks she used to have in story-writing. Mary Lou still had to be handled gently and did not like to have any one know that she had established a home for sick animals. During her Senior year she had shown a great fondness for looking after stray cats and homeless dogs, and any other animal in need of help. 51 Meleideth was receiving an enormous salary for teaching Calculus in one of the Northern universities. It seemed only right that one of our brilliant ten should have pursued this study. Pauline was with her. While in Salem s he had memorized so much Latin and was so thoroughly familiar with it that she now taught this dead language without even the aid of a book. Four of our number were teaching in our Alma Mater — Mattie, Mary Lee, Helen Kenh, and, though you will be surprised, Rebecca. Do you not remember having heard her say many times that this was a place for rejected people ? Well, maybe that is why she was here. We had never thought that Mattie. with her neat (?) ways, would win a place in the Sisters ' House. The others were not such a surprise. Elhnor had worked as faithfully on her Expression after leaving Salem, as while a student there, and we had received an invitation to her debut at the new Salem Theatre, owned by Giersch and Hastings, in The Coming of a Star. Laura, as usual (?), was the silent member in the firm, as her heart and mind were elsewhere ; but Ruth, who had always shown so much interest in vaudeville stunts and chorus girls, was entirely able to manage things by herself, and we knew that greater glory was to be hers in presenting Elhnor to the public. Three of our number were still playing their childhood game, follow your leader. and just a few weeks before our reunion a triple wedding had been celebrated in the Home Church, and the three brides — Anna. Grace, and Miriam— were going to entertain us during our visit. After we had listened to these thrilling experiences of our classmates, Margaret, now Mrs. , called for us and took us to her lovely new home for luncheon. In the afternoon Helen and Caroline, who were still residing with their parents, or in plainer words, were old maids. joined us, and we went out to the Orphanage to see Mary Hartsell. How I pitied those poor little children when I heard that she was the head of that institution, for I had not forgotten those many threats that we had made about one or two children of our acquaintance! However, she was more kind than I had expected to find her, as her great disappointment in love had somewhat softened her heart. When we again reached the college we found that Katharine and her husband had motored through the country in their Stoddard-Dayton, bringing Mildred with th Katharine always was lucky and bluffed her way through everything, and now sh just fixed to live on easy street for the rest of her life. Poor Mildred, age and trouble were telling upon her. She was thin and weary looking. A great struggle had been going on in her heart for years, between money and love, and we hoped for her appearance ' s sake that love would soon triumph. The night train brought the last two members of our class, our Senior president, and the girl who always received the first question. Strange to say, they came from the same place. Edith was living in Chapel Hill, at least during the school year, and judging from the tjmes she used the word Buzzy we thought that she had taken up bee keeping as a profession, as our college president suggested. 52 em. she was Julia was still pursuing (yes, pursuing is the right word), at a safe distance, physics in the U. N. C. Our reunion was a pleasant one, and was the center of my thoughts during my return journey to my far western cabin school. Ruth had received a wireless message from one of North Carolina ' s college towns, which detained her indefinitely, leaving me without a traveling companion. But I was quite used to being alone, as I still had that superb disposition of my college days, and could induce no one to stay with me but for a short time. But when lonely all I had to do was to think of our happy reunion, and the good news of those not present, to make me happy once more. Florence E.

Since its birth, in 1905. the magazine has developed and increased with such success that, to-day, it would scarcely recognize a picture of its infancy. The Ivy contains short stories, essays, poem sketches, and all forms of literature found in modern college magazines. Last year there was an attempt to introduce continued stories, but this proved unsuccessful, owing to the fact that the issues were so far apart that the reader ' s interest was lost during the intervening months. Formerly it had a different covering every month, but. within the last four years, a permanent covering was decided upon, illustrating its name. The cover design was both attractive and effective, and no succeeding editor has desired to change it. Some have wondered why The Ivy was chosen as a name for our magazine; and the explanation suggested was that each year the editors, in assuming their responsibility, felt so new and green at the work that they thought the ivy, an evergreen plant, an appropriate emblem. Salem is one of the oldest of women ' s colleges, and we always connect the ivy with venerable age. Daily, yea! almost hourly, we look upon the i y- covered walls of our Alma Mater. Again, since 1898. every class has planted its ivy; this ceremony, on the first day of spring, is called Ivy Planting. and is a regular institution of the Senior Class, and the herald of Commencement. Thus, with such close and intimate associations with the plant, it is not surprising that it should have suggested itself as an appropriate title for our magazine. This is a brief history of The Ivy. A magazine should need no explanation nor apology, but should stand upon its own value for what it is worth. We realize that a monthly periodical is expected of a college with the standing of Salem. But we wish to explain that the college has nothing to do with The Ivy, which increases proportionally to the two literary societies. We hope that in the near future the intellects, and principally the finances, of its advocates will enable it to increase to a monthly, and progress and improve more and more. For further information, and for those desiring more knowledge, we refer them to a copy of The Ivy. G. R.. ' 13. 7f. 3UP %h tt GENEVA ROBINSON. H. L. S Ed.tor-in-Chief LAURA RIDENHOUR. ' 14. E. L.

Soon after school opened the faculty and students of the college were tendered a reception by the members of our society. The occasion was a most enjoyable one for all present. An unusual number of new girls survived the mysterious process of initiation, and have been full-fledged and active members ever since. One of the first and most important steps taken by the new officers was to enforce rule and order, making the meetings more enjoyable as well as profitable. The programs, always interesting, have been varied so that the meetings would not grow monotonous. A meeting of intense interest was one in which Juniors and Seniors matched their argumentative and oratorical powers. The Seniors, representing the affirmative side of the question, Resolved, That music should be compulsory in a college curriculum, were acknowledged victors, after the judges had held a second debate behind closed doors. The Christmas meeting will long be remembered for its beauty and originality. A beautiful Christmas tree, loaded with valuable (?) presents, was the chief feature of the evening. Mr. Feild was for several weeks the unknown donor of a lovely picture to the society. The first meeting after the holidays consisted of an impromptu program, to which many of our talented members responded enthusiastically. We were charmingly entertained on one occasion by selections beautifully rendered by several members of the music faculty. The interest manifested in the society at the very first meeting has not waned. On the other hand it has increased, and we hope that in the coming years it will continue to do so. 79 M. R. S., ' 13.

Many of our members did not return to school this year, and, as we were anxious to have as many girls as wished to join us in our work and pleasure, a month after school began we gave an evening ' s entertainment in the form of a little pantomime, A Night With the Poets. Famous selections were read and the principal characters were represented by living pictures, the music adding much to the charm of it all. It was a splendid success. Afterwards there was a reception, which every one seemed to enjoy. The next Saturday night we held initiation. Soon we had as many new members as we could easily take care of. By their cooperation with the officers, we hope much has been done for the society. Amendments were added to the constitution setting aside certain nights for debating. reading current literature, and studying the classics. We realized that good musical selections were necessary along with the other, and we have been very fortunate in securing able musicians from among our own members, the faculty, and others. The last meeting before the Christmas holidays was as Chnstmasy as we could make it. even to having Santa climb in the window. Never has one of our programs been dull. With the talent which our girls have, and ardent preparation, they could not fail to be interesting. We hope that the new officers and new members of the next year will feel that we have tried to work for the best welfare of the society. We want them to remember in their efforts next year that we still love the Purple and Gold. and. though we can not be present at their meetings, we are willing to aid them in any way we can. 82 M.

W. C. A. HE EAR 1913 has been one of great benefit to the members of the Christian Association, for, during this year, our fondest and lo.ig- chcnshed hopes have been realized, and we have no longer merely a Christian Association, but a fully organized Y. W. C. A. Miss Mary Porter, a traveling secretary of the National Association, came to us in October, and helped us to effect an organization, though we did not receive our charter until December. We had sixty-five charter members, and now there are many more girls who attend regularly, and the Association has been constantly growing both in numbers and interest. The organization of a Y. W. C. A. has given us a much broader field of interest. and has opened to us greater opportunities for doing good. We undertook this year, instead of the usual local charities, the brightening of Christmas for a little girl. Mary Lee Dunce, in one of South Carolina ' s mill villages. She had never been visited by Santa Claus. so his first visit brought her great pleasure, and left her the proud possessor of a little trunk, filled with dainty dress materials and candy. We have six committees, each with its own individual sphere of work. During the year the Social. Social Service, and Missionary committees have done especially good work. Mission Study classes have been formed, which meet every second Sunday after- noon, and have aroused new interest in foreign missions. We feel that we have taken a most important step this year in affiliating ourselves with the National Organization, for it has been of great benefit to us, and we know that the coming months and years will bring ever-increasing opportunities and blessings to our girls.

But with the thoughts of Thanksgiving came the thought of the basket-ball game played between the college classes for the champion- ship. Team classes were organized by the gymnasium instructor, and after each lesson basket-ball practice was actively engaged in. Just here, on account of the illness of the instructor, further progress was impeded; but finally, with Mrs. Reed as instructor, work began. On the basket-ball field the teams were coached by Miss Anna Buxton, who proved herself to be a capable substitute. On Thanksgiving Day great was the dismay of all the girls to behold the ground covered with snow. However the snow was removed from the basket-ball field, and the ground put into fairly good condition. During the morning each class decorated the baskets and a portion of the fence enclosing the field, and the four classes grouped around their colors and cheered their players throughout the entire game. Encouraged with music by the Salem band, the game began at two o ' clock with Freshmen and Sophomores playing first, ending with Sophomore victory. The Junior-Senior game was called second, and resulted in Junior victory. In the final Sophomore-Junior contest the Juniors carried off the banner, which was awarded by the Athletic Association. The varsity and scrub teams were organized immediately after the holidays. We have several games in view for this spring, and with the present well-balanced varsity team hope for victory. The Athletic Association is busy also, and under its auspices the tennis depart- ment was reorganized — with Hazel Briggs, ' 1 3, chairman — and arrangements were made for a tournament in the spring. The spirit of athletics was shown on Salem day when so many took part in the sports planned. One especial feature was the basket-ball game between the Academy day pupils and boarders, which resulted in the boarders ' victory. The Freshmen played the Academy team in February, which resulted in a victory for the Freshmen. However, the Academy put up a good game, and have shown us the good material for future College classes. The last game played was between the Euterpean and Hesperian literary societies, which resulted in Euterpean victory with the close score of 1 4 to 10. This proves to us that athletics is becoming more and more a part of our college life. It certainly should be a very important factor in any girl ' s life, and we believe that at Salem College the spirit is grow ing until soon every healthy, energetic, pleasure-loving girl will join with us in active athletics of some kind.

It was on this day that we received our Oxford caps and gowns, and came to realize more fully that we were indeed Seniors. Our caps and gowns came by the afternoon express, and it was very hard for thirty-seven happy, excited girls to wait until Miss Lehman sent for us to come to the office to get the mysterious-looking boxes that contained the much-longed-for emblems of dignity. Before the dinner-bell rang we were arranged in a long, black line, eager to reach the dining hall, where we were to make our first appearance, but far too excited to eat. At twilight we again formed in line, each one concealing her summer bonnet beneath the flowing sleeve of her gown, and, marching from our Senior Home— the Annex — around the upper campus, we halted in front of Society Hall. Then, led by Miss Brushingham, we sang our Alma Mater, together with other parodies and college songs. Short talks were made by Miss Lehman, President Rond- thaler and Bishop Rondthaler, all of whom took an opportunity to compliment us on our dignified bearing, and to cast good-natured sarcasm at the prevailing hat styles of 1912. The funeral pyre had been erected in the main walk of the campus, and at this juncture of the proceedings the President of 191 3 advanced and applied the torch. The flames leaped high into the air, eager to devour the hats soon to be fed to them. As the flames rose heavenward, we sang our famous song, Farewell, Old Hats. Advancing we each in turn consigned a hat to the flames, thus signifying the passing of the old and the coming of the new caps and gowns. After giving our yells we again formed in line, and, with our newly acquired dignity, marched back to our Senior Home. E. E. C, ' 13. 133 .founder ' s Dap Thursday, October the thirty-first, nineteen twelve, dawned as bright and cold as any one could wish who was going on a picnic. Eager and excited we had been since Wednesday morning when Mr. Rondthaler told us in chapel that the next day would be a holiday, and that we would go to Nissen ' s Park — care free — ready for all the fun and a real picnic lunch. We knew it would be a glorious day for many reasons; chiefly because it happened on Thursday, and we would be excused from lessons. Holidays are so prone to happening on Sunday or Monday, when our time is not occupied with recitations anyway. At ten o ' clock the cars were here ready to take us to the park. Armed with caps, sweaters, books, sewing bags, and kodaks a livelier crowd never started out. The bracing air was filled with college songs and yells, the gaiety and jollity of the crowd seeming to make the open cars move faster and faster. The sight brought smiles to the faces of those who came to the doors of their homes to see the cause of so much excitement. Safely landed at the park, the girls and teachers hurriedly separated into congenial groups. Some rushed to the skating rink, some to the bowling alley, some to the summer houses, and others explored the park and the surrounding grounds. To the flat rock not far distant from the park many trips were made. But every ear was alert for the dinner gong, and, oh, what a scurrying to and fro from the long table to comfortable seats, with coffee, sandwiches, and as many good things to eat as one pair of hands could manage! The afternoon was spent in much the same way as the morning. Everybody smiled at everybody else, and the clear, joyous laughs of both the old and the young rang out together and came back together in the answering echo. Even the trees and the birds joined in the merry making. Four o ' clock came. Then the cars, too, came to bear the gay, but rather tired, crowd back to the college. It was a suitable way to celebrate the founding of Old Salem. Indeed it was a glorious day; just a little sad to some, who knew it would be their last, but it brought eager expectancy to those who would return with the returning school year. M. McG., ' 13. 3 Ctiu 3rounO tl)e M3orIO On the night of the twenty-eighth of October occurred one of the most delightful occasions during the month. A Trip Around the World was posted by the faculty. Accordingly, all lovers of travel bought their tickets, and were in their assigned places in Main Hall ready to start on the journey at the time appointed. 134 The guides were attractively arrayed in military suits, each accompanying a party of about fourteen, bound for the different countries. When their respective times arrived, the parties were led to unexpected resorts where refreshments were served appropriate to the country represented. Naturally, Ireland was emerald green; and, as they passed through, every one was supplied with a delicious weeny sandwich. Upon entering Germany, one had the feeling of coming into a German beer garden, for the music of the nation was heard above the chatter of the barmen and barmaids in their pretty costumes, daintily serving beer to those sitting at little wooden tables underneath the shady cedar trees. Japan was artistically decorated with pink and lavender chrysanthemums and pretty Japanese screens. Hot tea and cakes were served by Japanese women. A lone key pointing toward the West, and a Havana cigar detailed the two islands very impressively. The Turks entertained us in their country ' s fashion, and looked most fastidious while serving delicious turkey sandwiches. One could almost feel the icy chill of the frigid zone, while crawling through the sparkling, white Klondike; and the roars of the polar bears were indeed terrifying, as we neared the close of the cave. B ut the horrors were worth while when we were satisfied with a good ice-cream cone. Every one was filled with curiosity at Hungary, where three tellers of fortunes were kept busy weaving future destinies of wondering thoughts from the fatal palm. After such extensive travel, it was only natural to feel exhausted, but it was most enjoyable to come back and be refreshed in the gymnasium with ice cream, cake, and fruits. F. M. B„ ' 14. S@rs. Cameron OEnrcrrams rrjc Seniors One of the most enjoyable events of the Senior year was the dinner party given by Mrs. John P. Cameron, of Rockingham, N. C, November the eleventh, at the Zinzendorf Hotel. About sixteen of us joined Mrs. Cameron in the afternoon, and, after having been entertained at the Elmont and the drug store (a most unusual privilege for Salem girls), we were further delighted by the dinner which followed. Previous to the latter we amused ourselves by dancing and stirring things up in general, at the Zinzendorf. The evening was most successful and was enjoyed to the fullest extent by every one present. Mrs. Cameron was assisted in entertaining by Mr. Edgar Jones, of Rockingham, who was the only gentleman of the party. 135 The guests were: Florence Bingham, Katharine Burt, Edith Carroll, Johnsie Cameron, Mary Hartsell, Louise Hine, Nell Hunnicutt, Stuart Hayden, Ruth Kilbuck, Mildred Overman, Adele Pemberton, Geneva Robinson, Sadie Smith, Rebecca Stack, Helen Sumner, and Ellinor Ramsay.

Again the Senior Team was defeated, and again the conquering Juniors consoled the unfortunate team with a banquet. We were escorted to the President ' s home by our opponents at eight-thirty. The color scheme, the Senior red and black, was carried out in the dining-room. The centerpiece was of red carnations; the favors were red shells full of chocolate almonds, tied with the black ribbon. After a three-course dinner, the punch was brought out in a silver pitcher, bedecked with a bow of red and black ribbon. Miss Annie Sorsby served as toastmistress, and, after drinking to the team, toasted each individual in succession; then called for the responses, which were genial and witty. The Lethian punch, gracious hospitality, and cheerful atmosphere, caused us to forget our defeat, and enjoy to the full our entertainment. We adjourned to the parlor with the five pounds of rewarded candy and a bouquet of carnations, which were divided among us, as a parting souvenir of a happy evening. G. R., ' 13. alem Dap Salem Day, February the third, was celebrated in the college this year for the first time. The athletic committee had entire charge of the celebration, which was held in the gymnasium and was very entertaining. There were potato races, sack races, etc., by both students and members of the faculty, and these afforded much amusement to participants and spectators. Several tugs of war also took place, and of those among the college classes the Seniors were victorious. Various and sundry prizes were awarded to the victors. Miss Adelaide Fries, Presi- dent of Salem Alumnae Association, officiating in the presentation. Immediately afterward was a short, but interesting, address by Mrs. Tucker Norfleet, and this was followed by an informal reception. The Glee Club proved an important factor of the afternoon. H. E. S., ' 13. Cotillion Dance One of the most enjoyable social events of the season was the semi-annual dance given by the Cotillion Club, on the evening of January the twenty-fifth, in the college gymnasium, which was beautifully decorated. The music, which was exceptionally good on this occasion, was furnished by the Crouse Orchestra, and added much to the charm of the evening. 137 Dancing began at seven-thirty with the grand march, led by Miss L. Long and M. Drake, and during the evening many new and attractive dances were included, and other graceful figures, led by the following couples: Miss Louise Long. M. Drake; Miss Man ' Hartsell, M. Overman; Miss Ellinor Ramsay, I. Parker. Delightful refreshments were served in the intermission, and the spectators were then given a closer view of the exquisite gowns and gorgeous flowers. The whole affair proved a big success, and was thoroughly enjoyed bv all. K. I. P.. ' 13. Ucrcurion to a. n. €. £ Icc Club Thursday. February the sixth, the Seniors gave a reception to the Glee Club of the University of North Carolina, from four-thirty to five-thirty in the afternoon. A com- mittee, consisting chiefly of class officers, met the boys in Mrs. Rondthaler ' s parlor, and escorted them over to the Annex. where they were gladly welcomed by the remaining Seniors. The Annex was artistically decorated with numerous pennants, banners, and ferns and looked very attractive indeed. In one room cake and punch were gracefully served by Miss Brushingham, who was assisted by several members of the class. After we had partaken of the refreshments, couple after couple strolled over the campus and finally assembled in the Euterpean Society Hall, where we were all enter- tained by various solos, both vocal and instrumental. Alas! the parting hour soon arrived when we were forced to bid farewell to the musical young gentlemen, whose presence had so delighted us for one brief ho hour. H. E. S.. ' 13. Junior Banquet One of the largest social events of the year was a banquet given by the Junior Class to the Seniors, from eight to ten. on the evening of February the fourteenth. The scene of festivity was the college gymnasium, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Banners and pennants adomed the walls, and all the lights were shaded by red crepe paper, castipg a soft glow over the room. Red ribbons intermingled with Southern smilax were draped from the four corners of the ceiling and caught up in a canopy just over the center of the table, which was in the form of a Maltese cross. The table itself was most attractive with huge bunches of smilax. American Beauty roses, and many gleaniing candles. At each place was found a lovely hand-painted card decorated with old-fashioned ladies, whose dresses were draped with hearts. 138 As soon as the whole company had been seated they were all asked to sing Alma Mater, after which the dinner began. Three delightful courses were served by unusually good-looking waitresses, who were charming in their white dresses, red paper caps, and aprons made of hearts. With the arrival of the punch. Miss Pattie Wray Womack, President of the Junior Class and toastmistress, at once toasted the Seniors, whose President, Miss Edith Carroll, immediately responded with a health to the Juniors. Afterwards, in succession, the various members of the faculty present were toasted, and in turn gave their toasts, all of which were very entertaining. A colored orchestra furnished music throughout the evening, and lent an added charm to the whole occasion. H. E. S., ' 13. 139 Commencement Program WEDNESDAY, May 28th. 4 P.

HO Merry Jests Is (here anything you can do better than any one else? ' ' Yes, replied Helen, I can read my own writing. A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a pony; A Latin exam has been decreed. And my head is somewhat bony. ' What sent Stuart to the insane asylum? A train of thought passed through her brain and eked it. ' 141 The naked hills lie wanton to the breeze; The fields are nude, the groves unfrocked; Bare are the shivering limbs of shameless trees: What wonder is it that the corn is shocked! Mr. Jones: I hear your daughter is pursuing her studies at college, isn ' t she Mr. RAMSAY: I guess so. She ' s always behind. I clasped her to my heart — my own; My ecstasy no tongue could speak — That moment I ' d have scorned a throne When in my ear. Rebecca, my dear. Said: What ' s your wages. Bob, a week? COLLEGE PRESIDENT: You can ' t get into our college. You are not qualified in the entrance requirements in Sanskrit, Greek, or Calculus. PROSPECTIVE STUDENT: No. but I am very well grounded In reading, writing, and arithmetic. COLLEGE PRESIDENT: Great Scott, man. you don ' t need a college education! Why don ' t you go into business? Flunk! flunk! flunk, on the long, hard quiz ; Oh. see! If the teacher weren ' t here I ' d utter The thoughts that arise in me (about the weather). Are you busy. Mr. Feild? Mr. FEILD: No, I ' m not busy, but I ' m occupied. Roll on, thou gluey, sticky, syrup, roll. Let nothing stop thy progress o ' er my plate. Other luxuries the different meals unfold. But thou reign ' st supreme, warder of my cake. When to the stately board I wend my hungry way. And, alas! how sad, I discover thou art alone; Yet not quite alone, lest I omit to say The cakes ' . Oh, cakes! of a hardness like stone. And afterwards — I, with many pains, for you atone. E. C. : Did he actually dare to steal a kiss from you? H. R. : ' les; but I made him put it back. 142 The laggard had four minutes in which to get from Winston to the college in time for dinner. Can ' t you go faster than this? she asked the street-car conductor. Yes, answered the bell ringer, but I have to stay with my car. A little boy stood on the corner industriously scratching his head, when a gentleman in passing said to him: Picking them out, sonny? No, sir, replied the boy, I takes ' em just as I finds ' em. I am looking for a little succor. RUTH: Well, do I look like one? When towards the store the teacher came flying Under the counter they all fled, For something within them was crying That they were the quick or the dead. GENTLEMAN: And when he hit you, my son, did you retaliate? YOUTHFUL KNIGHT: No, sir; I just got busy and hit him back. A.: There is one place where divorce comes before marriage. B.: Where is that? A. : In the dictionary. Miss L. : Sadie, you have spelled the word rabbit with two t ' s. You must leave one of them out. Sadie: Yes, ma ' am; which one? I told Mary Pell such a joke I thought she did not see. But ere an hour had elapsed She clapped her hands in glee. Miss L. ; Johnsie, your spelling is perfectly terrible. JoHNSIE: This isn ' t a spelling lesson, it ' s my essay. TEACHER (in psychology class) : What induction do you draw from deduction? Eager SCHOLAR: All scorpions are dangerous. 143 ' A book and pencil underneath the bough — Oh! would some meager thoughts our brains endow? Or else through prayers and tears and weary toil Our essays will get done — somehow! Hazel had a voice like a Thomas cat. She tried to warble like Caruso ; A neighbor swung a baseball bat — Now, Hazel doesn ' t do so. The church clock tolls the knell of dawning day; The rising bell peals loudly its decree; The stumbling maid goes crashing on her way. And then I know there ' s no more rest for me. The good widow was about to sell her household furniture — the rugs, plated ware, and what not. Going over these articles her eyes filled with tears; a host of memories rose to her mind, and, laying aside half a dozen knives, she said: Oh, dear, I can ' t let these go. They have been in poor George ' s mouth too often! Lives of social lions tell us That, if we know what is what. We will put aside our dignity. And will learn the turkey trot. 144 TLrn OVE1 , BoS5,Do TyOU NQW THf AT3DS A E 0 THE OTHEH SlDtY KH O HKH}{HXH CKHXH 0H {KH What a Cent ' s Worth of Electricity Will Do will operate a 12-inch fan for 2 hours will operate a sewing-machine motor for 2 hours will keep a 6-pound flatiron hot for 15 minutes will make four caps of coffee in an electric coffee percolator will keep an 8-inch disk stove hot for S minutes will operate a luminous radiator for S minutes will operate the nursery milk warmer twice will bake a Welsh rarebit in an electric chafing dish will keep a heating pad hot for 2 hours will operate an electric griddle for S minutes will run the electric boiler for 6 minutes will run a massage machine for 2 hours will keep the dentist ' s electric hammer and drill going for 60 minutes It will keep the foot-warmer hot for a quarter of an hour It will run an electric pianola for 1 hour It will vulcanize four automobile tire patches It will heat an electric curling iron once a day for two weeks It will keep a glue pot hot for an hour It will drive the electric clipper while shearing two hours lt will pump 250 gallons of water 100 feet high lt will raise 10 tons 12 feet high with an electric crane in less than 1 minute It will raise a large passenger elevator five sto ries a minute It will brand electrically 150 hams At power rate of 5c. per kilowatt hour Other items at 10c. per kilowatt hour Fries Mfg. and Power Company WWXHKHKHWWHKHXKKKHKWKHXKK Salem Academy and College •J Not hound by the traditions of a century, but taught by a hundred years ' experience.
