It is a hner thing to assist, in any measure, in that broadening of sympathy, that deepening of insight, that strengthening of spiritual stamina, which together compose the true enlarge- men t of personality. During four invigorating years I have watched your progress into womanhood. Ypv have shouldered wide re- sponsibilities; you have planned far-reaching student policies for your college; you have given a new meaning to the safe- guarding of under-classmeh ' s interests. Von, more than any class I have known in Salem, have approached Seniority with sober thought fulness. I believe you to he more effectively equipped for the Work of Living than any class which has previously emerged from Salem ' s honored halls. Whatever of service I have rendered you lias been more than a pleasure. It has been a privilege to know you, and to work with you. If my own vision be somewhat clearer, my ideals for the American woman more definite and buoyant. I have you in large measure to thank. I bespeak for you wise eyes and a measured step as you go forth mto Lite. Your expansion of personality has been sound and splendid. May your progress bring a blessing upon every phase of life which you touch. Your work in the world will be characterized, I am confident, by service, kindness, thoughtfulness. and joy. May it win the fullest and richest measure of merited success. With happiest remembrance and confident devotion, I am, faithfully yours, ZJiakjlaJ L. . ■€tasiS2-_ .

Not only the life of the class- room, but our real life us we see and live it. in its social, religious, athletic, literary, studious, and mischievous phases. We aim to picture ourselves, not so good as our fond mothers may think us. and not so u icked and incapable as the faculty may think us, but just as zee feel ourselves to be — live, human beings tvith joys, sorrows, faults. ideals. and ambitions. To the members of our class we wish to say this: In this book zee hare tried to put the things which will keep the memory of our college home ever dear to us. and will tend to keep us united though zee no longer live together. To our friends and readers zee offer no apologies, only greetings. We have put forth our best efforts. We have done OUR best. and if ' we have failed the fault is in us, not in our efforts.

She knows what she wants, and goes and gets it — with- out any flurries or fluster. She has but one obsession, that is music of all kinds (?). 55 MARY ELIZABETH BUTX ' ER Betsy Slie never did any harm that I heard of. Vice-President Freshman Class, 1913- 14: Freshman ' Basket- Ball Team, 1913- 14; Senior Tar Heel; Senior Class Historian; Literary Editor Sights asp Insights. This is our housekeeper. Domestic Science is her one great hobby. Just a sweet, even-tempered girl, who always does what is right, and does it well. She never wastes time by coming to chapel too soon. 56 f r - -f r r n rf ' yTTrft MARY LILLIAN CHESSON Chess PLYMOUTH, N. C. The word impossible is not in my dictionary. Y. W. C. A.. 1913-14; H. L.

Since Freshman year Chess has heen with us. We recognized in her a born leader, and elected her president of the class. As Freshman president she set a standard for herself, which she has lived up to and surpassed dur- ing succeeding years. She knows how to do, and she does. She is loyal, strong, tender, at all times our class- mate and our friend. 5? jJlVfT F— ' y ' r l! r ll ' T,r r r Tr r rl Hr r rC H4, MAY LEWIS O IAN May WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. Fine sense is not half so useful as common sense. Captain Freshman Basket-Ball Team, 1913-14: Cotillion: Red Ribbon Gos- siper: H H : Senior Class Prophet; Senior Tar Heel. May is here a while and then gone again. After one of these absences she gave us the startling information that ' She Stoops to Conquer ' ' is a tragic poem. Since then we have been very much indebted to May. 5S PAULINE COBLE -P. C. BURLINGTON, N. C. Don ' t talk if you have nothing to soy. V. W. C A., 1913-17; E. L. S., 1913- 17; Secretary E. L. S., 1914-15; Ath- letic Association; Senior Tar Heel; Red Ribbon Gossiper. Pauline is always in a hurry, but, if not late, never gets anywhere until the last minute. Another of her vagaries is talking and leaving you to guess at parts which she fills up with : And you know, and everything. ' 59 rNH)|nj n)rr|r|nr ELIZABETH LILLIAN CORNISH Lillian WINSTON-SALEM, N.

She has the happy faculty of paying attention in class. 60 7 M -, [Hil }r r r |rr I n rIV rff MARY REBECCA DENNY Benny CROMAKTIE, N. C. Then she would talk — ye gods! how she would talk. Y. W. C.

One of our star basket-ball players ' ' Denny has been on our team all four college years. She is known and liked by all of the girls, and takes an active part in all branches of the college activities. 61 EMILEE DICKEY Dickey — Little Emily HUSELLA, GA.

Katherine is one of the two girls who have been on the class basket-ball team all four years, and this year made the varsity team. She is equally good in her studies, or else has all of the teachers bluffed. 64 MELISSA M1LLNER HANKINS Lissa WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. could succeed in small things were I not troubled with great ambitions. Vice-President Sophomore Class, 1914- 15 ; Secretary Senior Class ; Senior Tar Heel : Literary Editor Sights and Insights. Melissa has taken almost every course in college while the rest of us were working away on one, and now she gets her diploma with us. The only way we can account for this is the frequent use of midnight oil. N-v,„ o° ! II, J ! Ronlkiiuj n Lt-LL_Lj) 65 Of .-, ROSEBUD HEARXE Buddie ALBEMARLE. N. C.

Buddie is a good pal, but take warning and be careful about one thing. Do not let her get tickled when she is not supposed to laugh, because she is like the boy who told his teacher that he smiled and it busted. 66 IZMA DOREEX JEWETTE LAKE LANDING, N. C. Fair as a slat- when only one is shining in the sky. Y. W. C. A., 1913-17; H. L. S., 1913- 17; Censor H. L. S.. 1914-15 (second semester) ; Secretary H. L. S., 1915-16 (first semester!; Athletic Association; Senior Tar Heel ; Senior Marshal, 1915; Business Manager Sights and Insights. Her ability to handle money was proved by the efficient way in which she filled her place as business manager of the Annual. Her two weaknesses are bright colors and her inability to see the point. Ask her for beauty bints. 67 fl n r| 1frr|r rHS, r SMOTTT fri ' lT r I l r l Mil It r r |rr| r rfjr r[r P r fi] P r fTfilllr f|??

A true artist, with a quiet sense of humor which shows itself in her work and in her dry remarks which are made at the psychological moment. She sometimes likes and sometimes dislikes a certain individual whom she quotes continually. 68 RUTH CATHERINE KAPP Ruth WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. 1 profess not talking, only this: That each man do his best. Senior Tar Heel. We sometimes think that the day pupils lose the most important interests and advantages of college life, but we are sure that Ruth would not agree with us, because boarding students can go to t he picture show only once a week. 69 RACHEL LUCKENBACH WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. She that complies against her will Is of the same opinion still. Senior Tar Heel. Rachel stars in most of her studies, but most especially in Oral English, where she holds us spellbound while she tells us wonderful number stories. She is always in a good humor and ready tV.r fun after her work is over. _ J8f! J.4-. - IS, _if.,yl S ( T = 7JT L v : ) 70 ELIZABETH ORMSBY MEIXUNG WINSTOX-SALEM, X. C. I love tranquil solitude And such society as is quiet, wise, and good. Senior Tar Heel. Though a loyal member of the Class of ' 17, we know her less than any other member, because she has so little time to spend with us. We admire her for her never-failing courage.

Ina has her own ideas about things, and does not fail to let other people know what she thinks. Xo amount ol argument can change her once she has made up her mind. She usually gets what she wants when she wants it. 76 .v- 3? mm hrr | |r| mi |r ||- r r|rr| pr nr rib pp ftp r |r H ' nrrlVil W ' l ' l ' ! i ' nr VIRGINIA LITTLE ROSS [ WADESBORO, X. C.

The Greek- meaning of the word action may certainly be applied to these years, for our aim in coming to an educational institu- tion is to teach the mind and body how to act in the right way at the right time. So. through our studies and through athletics of various kinds, we fit ourselves for the later more serious action or service in the world. The Freshman Class serves as an introduction to our four-part drama. The action is started: we fall into the swing of college routine. In the Sophomore year many of the leading events take place; much of the hardest work is done, and the action is carried forward which prepares us for the climax reached in the Junior Class. The Senior year, with its caps, gowns. and diplomas, is merely a conclusion of our college activities. Our class was ever one which held firmly together, fearing any division and realizing the importance of working as a united body for a special pur- pose. So. even before we entered the coveted Freshman Class, we put our heads together, and. by the aid of our loyal friend, Mr. Starr, the Masque of Collegiate Futurity was produced. Many of you may remember seeing it given on the upper campus in the month of May. 1913. It would not be mentioned in this account of collegiate affairs if its prophecies had not come to pass so truly. In the Freshman Class it was foretold that we should all meet a terrible apparition, examinations ; in the Sophomore year the Spirit of Athletics greeted us: as Juniors we overthrew dreaded Physics, an apparentlv formidable monster: and as full-grown Seniors we attained the prized cap and gown, pursued from afar and longed for earnestly even at that early age. Freshman Class Never before nor since, I think, have we as a class felt more important and self-satisfied as when we were first called Freshmen. Then it was that we began to feel what it means to belong to a beloved and revered Alma Mater. How our hearts warmed in knowing ourselves under her especial care and protection ! We were truly proud of being what we were and where we were; yea, even in our utmost state of verdant youth! Well it was for us that we did not know all the hard places ahead, else our fresh courage might have failed. We were fortunate in the election of our class president, a girl capable of managing affairs fur us, ready to work with a will, and able to uphold the name of the class. She piloted us safely through our class sale, so that we were able to pay for a bench in Memorial Hall and to pledge an additional amount toward the Endowment Fund. We felt as if we were donating hundreds to the good cause, and it gave us a feeling of ownership in and responsibility toward our college. Two Latin and two Math courses were thrust upon us unasked, the first of a series of results occasioned by the raising of Salemls academic standard. It seemed for each succeeding year that Dr. Rondthaler had saved some similar pleasant surprise for us. Soon after college opened Bishop Rondthaler was asked to suggest a motto for the class, so one morning he came to the Biblical Literature recita- tion and gave us the motto he had chosen for us. He explained t ' e meaning of the Greek letters A A 2 and the words for which they stood, I et us pursue the things that are noble and true, words dear to the heart of each one in the class. Having obtained a motto we soon sent for pennants to make use of our colors and the motto so lately bestowed upon us. These we used first at the Thanksgiving basket-ball games into which we entered with high hopes, which were soon lowered in spite of much earnest work on the part of the team and rooters as well. What surprise and consternation was caused by the news that examina- tions were to be installed at Salem in the most advanced and dangerous form! Nevertheless we met them with as much fortitude as we could muster. When in fear and trembling we filed into the library we found those awe-inspiring- personages called proctors to be neither more nor less than our long- suffering faculty. This was some comfort. They expressed their silent sympathy as best they could by supplying us with reams of paper, adjusting a shutter or window, or some such kind service. Many of the class acquired decidedly literary tastes at this period. This was due to the writing of innumerable model paragraphs and famous original short stories. We could almost have composed them in our sleep. As for Latin — in that e excelled, for did not Dr. Rondthaler give us the task of translating and rendering into English poetry one of Horace ' s Odes? Thus we passed a happy Freshman year, in spite of much hard work and many uncomplimentary remarks concerning our yi uth and inexperience from haughty or condescending persons who happened to belong to the Sophomore. Junior, or Senior clas-e- Sophomore Class Little knowing what was in store for us in our second year at college, nearly every member of our large class returned. This time we came back- as old girls, busy during the first days and months in assisting new girls to find their bearings, in comforting the homesick Freshmen, and cheering their dampened spirits, and in helping them to become acclimated in general to the Salem atmosphere. There was also a great deal of pleasure in seeing the old friends again, and in knowing ourselves a year nearer the goal. Instead of bold, bad Sophomores you might rather have said bold. mad Sophomores. as we were struggling distractedly with the hardest year ' s work we have ever had : Miss Waller mystified us with her chemical for- mulas : Miss Kasey was unrelenting in the number of lines of Latin she required each day: Stopford Brooke ' s History of English Literature haunted our minds continually. During the last half of the year we were obliged to take College Algebra, and this was worst of all for some. Debating was our main diversion, once a week indulged in. The one never-dimming joy of the vear for the Class of 1 was the winning of the cup and banner at the annual Thanksgiving games. We were especially proud because ni i other Sophomore Class had ever achieved the honor before us. After examinations we had to celebrate in some lively way, so we decided to have a minstrel. We had a real one too, as several members of the class were especially gifted in this line and needed no extra coaching. We thoroughly enjoyed this performance, and the audience gave evidence of having done likewise. 90 In April the win ile college, students and faculty, became interested in plans for the adoption of Student Self-Go vernment at Salem. A number of meetings were held at which various topics were discussed, and finally repre- sentatives were chosen from each class for the coming year. This was a great step, and every one Imped for its success in our college. Junior Class Let us go on to the annals of Junior year, the climax of our course. We were in fine spirits, naturally, for we had few worries, and they did not weigh heavily on our minds by any means. We suffered one heavy loss, however, in that our helmed classmate, Marion Blair, did not return with us tn take up the new work. We have missed her sorely, our only comfort has been that she still loves us and is our good representative at Wellesley. Student Government was established sunn after our coming hack from the summer ' s recreation. Every college girl was enthusiastic in doing her share to make it prove a success, for, of course, it depended on us. We have each time been fortunate and happy in the election of a splendid class president. This time it was Lib Felton who did the honors and per- formed the ceremonies. As we all know, it was no difficult task for her. This same eloquent young lady has left us, and is this year amusing herself and others while pursuing a career at Wellesley. We have an idea that Marion helped to entice her away from us, but we do not blame her for it. At Thanksgiving we magnanimously gave the victory to the Sophomores, wishing them to experience the same joy we had a year before. They really deserved it, too. There were a number of interesting affairs held in Memorial Hall beside Student-Government meetings. There was the unique History of Costume Design arranged by Miss Beck and the art students; the famous Scotchman, Hugh Black, gave a lecture on Burns; the Fuller Sisters of Dorset, England, dressed in charming costumes, sang the quaint old ballads of Britain, and did many of the folk dances. None who heard Frank Speaight will ever forget him nor his generosity in entertaining us the next morning after chapel. The composer, Cadman, and his Indian princess also visited us. The dark-eyed maid proved herself to be as much of a girl as any of us before she left. More than one wanted to skip class to be with her on the campus. 91 Very important indeed we felt when we began to make plans for the Junior-Senior banquet. There was much honest work attached to the preparations of materials used. ( I wonder if any one remembers to have opened an oyster. ) Honeysuckle was twined in netting overhead to form a bower. The table, in the shape of a great horseshoe, was made by good Mr. Burrage. If those escorted had been equally divided among those escort- ing, each Junior would have had a small fraction of a Senior, so those who possessed a whole lad} ' counted themselves especially fortunate. The banquet was enjoyed by all, but by the Juniors perhaps most of all. for others had not labored so diligently to bring it to pass. We were honored in being Miss Lou ' s Juniors during the fiftieth year of her teaching, and as a small sign of our love and appreciation we presented her with a chair to be used in her room. After exams we all held our breath and waited for the envelopes certifying that we were now entitled to become Seniors. The climax did come at last when we were summoned to the Junior room, and there received the coveted envelopes. Girls dashed wildly into the hall, where kindly Seniors supplied them with robes. Thus well arrayed we made a trip to the Court-House square in the care and guidance of Mr. Heath. Several days later, as a class, we witnessed with satisfaction and inward joy the formal transference of cap and gown to our president. On account of delays occasioned by the weather, many of you did not have the privilege of seeing the remarkable Shakespearean Pageant which was given several days after Commencement. Those of us who were here know that it exceeded all our expectations and was a great success. Senior Class The illustrious ' 17 has at last come into her own. as was shown when we marched in chapel on the opening day of college as Seniors. They had scoured the country for miles around to secure a cap and gown for each girl. On this memorable day we felt very great, and were rather surprised, I think, to find ourselves suddenly possessed of that for which we had longed so often lie fore — we were wearing caps and gowns There was one member of the class who could not be with us in person, but we know that she was with us in spirit, for there never as a more loyal 92 and true-hearted Salem girl than Margaret Hagan. It is the private opinion of some that by means of a secret wireless method she became aware of the great number of responsible offices which would be thrust upon her on return- ing, so she immediately decided to deny herself the many honors she other- wise would have attained, allowing them to pass on to others. Nevertheless, we miss her literary genius, her bright wit, and the influence of her character. There was no trouble in the election of officers, as all was accomplished in about ten minutes ' time. Student-Government affairs went forward from the first day of college under our efficient president. Louise Wilkinson. Those precious caps and gowns arrived the second week in October. In anticipation of Hat Burning. all Seniors who possibly could arranged to have well-developed colds in their throats so that the singing might be im- proved thereby. We burned Old Man Hat on the gallows after a memo- rable torchlight procession. This accomplished, we hoisted our flag on a new pole erected at the Annex, while the brilliant electric figures ' 17 illuminated all those standing beneath. Later in October we were made happy by the arrival of the rings which we had expected for some time. The Davidson and University of North Carolina Glee Clubs were greatly enjoyed, of course. We, as Seniors, appre- ciated the privilege of entertaining them after the program was concluded. When we went over on the bill back of the college to partake of the Founder ' s Day Supper we little expected to meet with the vices of our every- day occupations. However, they were exposed in all their hitter truth by certain members of the faculty and had to he accepted as true. Thanksgiving had a deeper meaning to Salem College this year. It may have been due in part to the interest aroused in War Relief work, and the consciousness that we had in a very minute way helped to lessen the great suffering in Europe. Mufflers were knitted and comfort hags made to send to France. We hope this work will not stop as long as there is need of assistance such as we can give. The Juniors, unwilling to pass their honors on, again won the cup at the basket-ball game. We were glad to hear at this time that Virginia had been defeated by our own State University for the first time in many years. President Wilson ' s reelection was also a matter of very great interest to faculty and students alike. 93 l= r n r } ||rf r r The Christmas vacation was longer than usual, and the Seniors appre- ciated it especially as it was our last one as a class. On returning we found Madame Gadski and Mr. Frank Speaight waiting to entertain us. We enjoyed In ith exceedingly. We felt very much In mured in being asked to he present at the Alumnae Luncheon given on Salem Day. Then for the first time we began to realize what it does and will mean to us to be daughters of Salem. We are proud in having gotten so far, but we also see what a responsibility is put upon us on becoming alumna 3 of our dear Alma Mater. Surely not one of the girls who was in Young People ' s Meeting on February 7th will forget the talk Bishop Rondthaler gave concerning the present war. He outlined clearly the salient features of national conditions, how our country is preparing rapidly for war. how near we are to war. and the position of the South in case of war. He also gave three reasons why he thinks we will probably not be troubled as European lands. May God still preserve our great country and our loved Southland !

The greenest class of Freshmen that ever had been seen. We came from places far and near, our minds for knowledge yearning, And vowed before the year was through that we would get some learning We proved to all this wish was true, for ere the springtime came Our class of green young Freshmen for work had won some fame. For in our many studies we showed much skill and knowledge. And each Freshman thought that Salem was the one and only college. II The next September we returned, but ah. so changed in mien : We were no longer Freshmen — therefore, no longer green — But Sophomores, so bold and brave, with such a winning manner. That on Thanksgiving Day we won the loving-cup and banner. Although we loved both fun and sport, yet truly hard we worked. And no one of this class could say that we one duty shirked. At last the year drew to its close, and work and fun were o ' er. And each went home, ne ' er to return again a Sophomore. Ill As Juniors next our class appeared, with lots of things to do. And set about with mind and hand to put these duties through. For well we knew the goal for which we aimed was very near: Ah, joyous thought, our class would be the Senior Class next year. So with this future bright we studied cheerfully and well, And of the happy times we had I ' m sure no one can tell. But Junior days slipped quickly by, and soon exams were passed. And then we got our tickets to the Senior Class at last. IV This year, no longer Juniors. Sophs, or little Freshmen green, But stately Seniors, robed in black, we came upon the scene. So dignified and lofty, with such a queenly air, Xo class in all the college can to our class compare. And who would think, to look at us, so majestic in mien. That we were ever bold, had Sophs, or Freshmen young and green? Ah. happy Senior year, too soon you draw near to your close. And soon will end our college days, with all their joys and woes. 96 Wirnl r ll WlFlf rr Hnrril ' - rlKrr fllP rrlftfllr fflnETWll irffiHrrlrflp; Too soon our Senior year is o ' er ; we come to its last day, And now to dear old Salem our farewells we must say.

Although new lessons we may learn out in the world so wide, The lessons learned at Salem we ' ll keep whate ' er betide. And though our paths may lead us far from you, our Mother Queen, No class will he more loyal than the Class of Seventeen. « Salem Creek Anthology Cfte ir ill Where are the Seniors of ' 17, The serious ones, the frivolous, the gum-chewing drapers?

I told him that I had been captured near Happy Hill By pirates on Salem Creek, And kept in chains so I could not write him. He cried and kissed me, and said it was cruel. Outrageous, inhuman !

The Moravians of Salem always had a church band, and the pipe organ placed in the new church of 1802 must have been a great instru- ment for its time. The church music, with its dignified chorals, was [ a high character, and the addition of orchestral instruments on special occasions made it y -- ' give s me of the best compositions the period. The performance of Haydn ' s Creation in 1829 shows of the local musicians, as well as their ambitii - The present music building, erected by the alumnae of the institution at an expense 01 $52,000. was first occupied in 1907. It contains a hall of excellent acoustic properties, thirteen teachers studios, twenty-five sound-proof practice rooms, and an electric elevator was installed in 1916. The Fugle Memorial organ, costing $13,000. is a notable instrument. and. with the two manual organs presented by the Class of 1895, gives an exceptional equip- ment for work in this important field. The growth of the work makes it necessary this year to use •■ne studio for teaching and four practice pianos in other buildings. The music faculty represent, in their training, leading teachers of the United States. Canada, and Germany. A really personal interest is taken in the individual pupils, and the enrollment of about 350 students in this department proves the interest that is felt in music . this year at Salem. Organ, piano, voice, and violin each have many students, and the theoretical work is being attended by constantly increasing numbers. The elementary work in theory has proved to possess distinct value, and the college-grade subjects — sight singing, harmony, counterpoint, and advanced theory — are an important part of a musician ' s educa- tion. History of Music and Appreciation of Music are courses of cultural worth to the non-musician, as well as to the young woman with professional ambition. The get-togethe r meetings of the Music Department, this year, have been very happy occasions, and the recitals by pupils and faculty have been interesting, and have given real pleasure. The coming of the great soprano, Gadski. was the leading concert occasion of the vear. and added this eminent singer ' s name to the list of musical artists who have been heard at Salem. The Music Department is prosperous as regards number: there is unlimited enthusiasm in its faculty, ami it is doing all in its power to make the work of lasting worth. H. A. Shirley.

Upon being informed that this building is the abode of Fine and Applied Arts at Salem College, it immediately becomes invested with added interest, and one longs to look within — to see this place where future artists, illustrators, craftswomen, and appreciators of all that is good in art, labor so long and so earnestly. As the interested observer steps within the doorway she sees a long room in which girls are busy at work— Sophomores, evi- dently, from their serious aspects — who are interested in i ommercial Design, and are absorbed in Lettering and Posters. On the walls the fruits of the Department ' s efforts give a fascinating glimpse into previous work: satisfying and suggestive color problems, cast drawings which seem very lit companions for Venus standing lonesomely in the corner ; but more interesting still, sketches from life. Looking further she sees interesting pattern designs done by block printing, as well as compositions which she recognizes as illustrations of some of her favorite stories and poems. She is loath to leave this impromptu exhibition, but a noise from the rear attracts her attention, and she steps out upon a delightful porch where Freshmen are seeking inspiration for flower compositions from a charming open court. As the visitor reenters the main room her curiosity, like Fatima ' s, is stimulated by a closed door on the left, and, following her worthy precursor ' s example, she looks within ; but here the simile ends, for in place of Bluebeard ' s cast-off wives the room contains harmless lockers and materials! There is still room for further exploration, however, for im- mediately in front of this storeroom is another room, whence issue the names of Corregio, Raphael, and Titian. Here, it seems, a class in Art Appreciation is becoming acquainted with the great masters of old. She reluctantly leaves this interesting building with these names conjuring pictures in her brain, but in the Square her attention is attracted by perhaps great masters-to-be, for there Juniors and Seniors are seen making use of the charming sketching material Salem affords, she pauses for a brief chat with one i the smock- clad girls, who with busy brain and hand, is sketching the church. She soon u r ,.n again, greatly impressed with the course of study, the method pursuvd. the quality of work, and the spirit and attitude .if the workers. K- O.. ' 17. m S- Pi Bl met rtt Xti. 1 ' ?

The young lady on the foregoing page does not look as if she were representing us, but she is supposed to be. Therefore, please take notice of the nutritious food she is about to serve, and the pots and pans appearing in the lower right-hand corner. Never mind the scissors and needles which the young maid displays so prominently, for she can cook, and she can cook well. She knows much more than you think. Why? Just let me tell you. She has been taking instruction under Miss Whittemore and Miss Noles. The good she has derived therefrom will be shown in the lives and health of future generations. That is true. Why? Because that girl is learning more than merely how to cook (which can usually be learned at home). She is learning which foods are best for different people, how to prepare them to get the most benefit for a healthy body. Along with this she learns how best to spend the money which is at her disposal. There are many other interesting and worth-while things to be gotten in this depart- ment. Wouldn ' t you like to know how to make a home really beautiful? Wouldn ' t you like to know how to run it scientifically yourself? Do you know that you have the opportunity of taking subjects in the Domestic Science Department as electives in your Remember that you can not afford to miss this chance if you have it. M. E. B„ ' 17. The Sewing Department Sewing has always been included in the work of Salem Academy and College. In the early days of the school the girls were taught plain sewing and repairing in the Room Companies. The ornamental work was under the direction of a special teacher. As the subject of Home Economics developed, and interest in this line of work increased. Domestic Art was organized into a separate department, with many branches of the subject being required as a part of the course, i. e. : Sewing, Dressmaking, Drafting, Millinery, Embroidery, Crocheting, Knitting, Study of Textiles, and Repairing and Care of Clothing, etc. Household Arts, of which Domestic Art is a part, has been well defined as A compre- hensive term which includes the scientific study of all matters and means which will con- tribute to the happiest, healthiest, and most efficient family life. The aim of the department is to help the girls to grow into well-rounded women, who will be equipped to meet home and social problems in an intelligent and practical manner. To develop in them a higher appreciation and enjoyment of beauty and harmony, and to offer practical work which shall aid them in attaining this harmony and beauty in their own lives. 147 Cooking Class Annie Burwell Elizabeth Butner Mary McPhail Da is Minnie Deans Ruth Eborn Mary Edwards Miss Erw in Mary Feimster Annie Fo yle Thelma Giles Carolyn Hackney M YRY Hanes MEMBERS Elizabeth Harris ' it I riCHSMITH M miv Hooker Violet Holt Alice Leak Louise Luckenbach Evelyn Mauler Annie Lou Mayo ELIZ m:ETH MEINUNC Nancy Moore Ahiiexa Morgan F nxie Moseley Thelma Xeal Nannie Lou Norwood Kith Parrish Dorothy Pfohl Nannie Rarer Mary Rarer Pearl Ray Ethel Rowe Ethel Smith Rosina Vance Mabel Wessel Pansy Wimbish Miss Whittemore US H |r|||ffi|rl7rr|rp1nrnrrfrppnrrfflCTIrninnrhrillpffiriiPi-|rinr|. | Home Nursing Class Minnie Deans Ruth Eborn Pearl Frazier Thelma Giles Elizabeth Harris Mabel Wessel Marjorie Hastings F ANNIE MoSELEY Nannie Lou Norwood Dorothy Pfohl Nannie Raper 149 4 U £ v c T|r r ' Sar T fcf .

This year we realized more fully than ever before that Student Self-Government had been a success. Our first year of self-government was a time in which there were many doubts and perplexities to be over- come. Most of that year was spent in establishing and proving that Student Self-Government would work in our college. The second year there were problems to be studied and certain conditions to be improved. The girls seemed to realize more fully the meaning of self-govern- ment and the responsibility placed upon them. A great forward step was taken when the Student Self-Government Association of our college joined the Southern Intercollegiate Association in December, 1916. In April, 1917, we sent two delegates to the convention of this association at Winthrop College, Rock Hill, South Carolina. At this convention, our delegates received many suggestions which we are sure have helped and will help our association. At the end of the second year of Student Self-Government in this college we feel that it has succeeded. The faculty and the girls have entered into the spirit of it and cooperated to make it a success. For two years now Student Self-Government has existed in our college and evidently has im- proved steadily. Therefore, we feel sure that in years to come Student Self- Government will always play an important part in the life of Salem. L. W.

Now our enrollment is larger than ever before, which is in itself an incentive to go forward and accomplish more for the Kingdom of God. Also our contributions for charitable pur- poses have been far larger than ever before. We are French orphans in addition to our usual home benevolences supporting five and Blue Ridge Fund. The Y. W. C. A. has endeavored to stand for the highest principles, and to help develop the religious life of the Salem girls. Having had the coopera- tion of so many of the students and faculty, the officers of 1916 and 1917 feel that it has been a year well spent, and we hope that the future holds still more for the organization.

Many new members have been takxn in, the enrollment is larger than it has ever been, which is in itself an encouragement, as is also the enthusiastic way in which they have entered into the work. One of the bright features of the first term was Euterpean-Hesperian Reception, in which both society halls were thrown open to greet members both old and new. In order to put new life and interest into the society it was reorganized into a Woman ' s Club: it has so far proved a great success, as this portion of our work has been a source of inspiration and information to us. By pursuing such a course it has been possible to enter into larger fields of survey, and we have already studied in detail music, civics, art. and many other interesting and improving topics. Ye feel that this year we are putting more into our work than ever before, and are consequently getting more out of it: for we have been taking hold of the things that will be not only beneficial to us during our college years, but also be advantageous when we go out into the world. A wonderful transformation has also been wrought in our society hall. Rows of straight-back chairs no longer meet our eyes, but it has been changed into a most delightful reading-room. A large open fire is an attractive new feature. The hall is no longer deserted, but has become quite a popular retreat for the girls in the afternoon and on Saturday nights. The officers have been greatly encouraged by the interest shown by the members of the society, and are looking forward to a still brighter fulfillment of the club movement. M. C.

The program for the year, a study of the various phases of the Woman ' s Club, was suggested by Miss Adelaide Fries, former president of the North Carolina State Federation. This plan lias been carried out to some extent during the term, the literary side being emphasized rather than that of the civic and economic departments. The meetings have been entertaining and instructive. Program com- mittees should be especially commended for the interesting subjects selected, and members of the society, also, for their participation on the programs. When each individual member is exerting herself to make her society just what she would have it, the success of the organization is assured, and such is the case in the Euterpean Literary Society. L. G. M., ' 19. m r r |rr| nr fi|r rlfr p r Hrr The Ivy HIS year has been one of great success for The Ivy. The staff, composed of twelve members, is elected by the different classes. The Ivy is the college magazine published by the students, and this year the method of publication has been changed to a certain degree. The magazine contains the expression of student thought, and each issue is gotten out by one of the college classes, thus giving each class an equal representation. The exchange department is alive, and it is felt that its criticisms, suggestions, and well-organized work have done a great deal towards keeping us in close touch with the other colleges, whose student publications, always in some convenient place for reading, have done much in stimulating our own work. The Staff of 1916-17 believes that The h ' v has not yet lived up to its full possibilities as an organ of student thought and expression, but looks forward to the incoming staff for the continuance of its plans during the coming vear. 1115 The Ivy STAFF VIRGINIA ROSS. 17 Editor-in-Chief ADA SISKE.

President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, we also elected a bead of Tennis, Basket-Bail, and Track. The duty of the head of each sport is to consult with the physical director in reference to the call-outs, and to be responsible for their teams at official call-outs. Athletics for this year are to be divided into three sections: Basket-Bali, Tennis, and Track. The Basket-Bail games were played Thanksgiving, the Juniors winning the championship. The Tennis Tournament is to be played during April and May. The Track Meet is to be held in the spring. Each one of the four college classes will be represented by a team made up of five members and three substitutes. No student will be allowed to enter more than three events. The following events will be entered into: Running High Jump, Running Broad Jump, Standing High Jump, Standing Broad Jump, Hurdles, Potato Race, Fifty- Yard Dash, Throwing Basket-Bali, and Relay. A special Track Banner will lie awarded to the winning team. This is the first year we have had a Track Meet, and we are looking forward to it with much interest. We have two associations, the College Association and the Academy Association. These have worked together very successfully to promote interest in athletics in school, for more enthusiasm has been shown in both College and Academy Athletics. We have a varsity team this year, picked from the best material in each class. Qf this team, four of the girls came from the Sophomore Class, two from the Junior, and one from the Senior. Each new member was presented with a Salem monogram this year, those who have made the team two years in succession being presented with a star. The best spirit and most enthusiastic interest in athletics has been shown this year than ever before, and we feel much of it is due to our physical director, who has shown so much interest in our athletics, and has given so freely of her time to all phases of college sports.

C- ■ ' imk THE POOR SENIORS ' ALMANAC For the year 1916-1917 Editors, All Seniors Published lif etiuiclv. All information gratefully received. Vol. I Opening Exercises The Class of 1917 always liked tn do things different from the way in which the other classes had done before it. So when on September 20. 1916, we marched in Senior processional for the first time we all wore caps and gowns, tints becoming the first class which had ever had these signs of dignity in their first chapel service. I am sure that we all felt very self-conscious during that service as we sat there facing that large body of old and new students and faculty, and it was a day which we will long remember. Immediately after chapel, classes began, and through these we came in contact with, and learned to like, our new teachers, though never forgetting those who did not return. Get-Together Night On Saturday evening of the first week of school the first Get-Together Meeting of the year was held in the college library. Representatives of each college organization spoke en- thusiastically for their depart- ments, giving the new students a touch of Salem spirit. The speeches were followed by a torch-light procession over the campus, and refreshments. Salem Day This year Salem Day, February 3d. was celebrated by an Alumnae Banquet given at the V. W. C. A The Seniors were invited. We thoroughly enjoyed it, this being our first attendance at any of the alumnae functions. The decora- tions were very appropriate for the occasion ; the centerpiece was a daisy chain, and the place cards golden 4 ' s. The many talks and toasts by alumna; and Seniors were very interesting. Y. W. C. A. Reception On October 3d the annual re- ception of the Y. W. C. A. was held in the library. Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler received with the officers of the association, and members of the association served refreshments. Literary Societies Reception October 8th a joint reception was given by the two literary so- cieties in Society Hall. Refresh- ments were served, and an orchestra furnished music for dancing. Special Chapel Exercises Chapel exercises of October 6th were fittingly appropriate, it being the anniversary date of the laying of the corner-stone for the first building. Miss Lehman gave an interesting account of the exercises at this event one hun- dred and thirteen years ago. At the chapel exercises, Octo- ber 7th, Superintendent R. H. Latham, of the City Schools, told of the student days at the Uni- versity of Virginia of Edgar Allen Poe, this being in com- memoration of the poet ' s death. Davidson College Glee Club The concert by the Davidson College Orchestra and Glee Club was given Saturday afternoon. October 11th. in Memorial Hall. It was well attended and greatly enjoyed. After the concert the Seniors took the members of the club on a tour of inspection over the campus, then returned to the college parlors, where a reception was given by the college to the Seniors and members of the Glee Club, Mrs. Rondthaler, Mr. Heath, Mr. Rights, and Mr. Rice receiving. Thanksgiving Day Games and Banquet This day has always been the big Athletic Day at Salem, and is always celebrated by the Inter- class Championship Basket-ball games. The games this year were the fairest, squarest, and most exciting games ever played on the Salem field. The Juniors took off the honors again this year, winning over the Sopho- mores by one point. The banquet was held at 6 :30 in the decorated dining-hall. A table in the center was reserved for the teams and officials. The ball which was used in the games made the centerpiece. An or- chestra rendered music during the banquet. The captains of each team were called upon, and each responded with an appropri- ate speech. The president of the Athletic Association presented to the Physical Director, in behalf of both academy and college associations, a beautiful leather- bound portfolio containing all athletic records of the past two years at Salem. The banner and cup were presented to the win- ning team, and the varsity letter S awarded the seven best players. Comfort bags, which had been made by the students for the soldiers abroad, were placed all around the dining-room. Close to two hundred dollars were raised by pledges and other means, which included the pro- ceeds from the self-denial break- fast that morning. After this enjoyable banquet the students adjourned to the col- lege gymnasium, where dancing was enjoyed quite a while. The gymnasium had been decorated for the occasion by Miss Allen, of the faculty. THE POOR SENIORS ' ALMANAC Get-Together Meetings of the Music Department Among the new features of the Music Department this year are the Get-Together Meetings the music faculty and students These meetings are held in the library, and have proved very en- joyable and instructive to all who have attended. The faculty gave instrumental and vocal selections, and read interesting papers on musicians and musical stil ijects. The meeting with Dean Shirle was especially interesting. He told us of the great musicians he had seen and the wonderful music which he had heard in Boston and Xew York this winter. Faculty Recitals Miss Xatalie Ashley, of the Department of Organ and Piano, gave her complimentary recital November 6th. She was assisted by Miss Baker, head of Vocal Department, and Mr. Robert L. Roy. of the Violin Department Miss Verrington, head of Piano Department, was accompanist. Miss Louise Woodberry, of the Vocal Department, appeared in her recital on December 4th in Memorial Hall. She was assisted by Mr. Karl Weigand, violinist. The accompanists were Misses McNair and Ashley. Mme. Johanna Gadski Salem was greatly pleased to have Madame Gadski. world- renowned operatic singer, give a concert in Memorial Hall Janu- ary 10th. The hall was crowded to the utmost: about fifty of the college girls occupied the plat- form with her. Only those who heard her marvelous voice know of its beauty and sweetness. Her personality was charming, and she seemed to be bubbling over with happiness. Her entire being was put into her voice for the time, and she rendered the songs of tenderness and the dramatic numbers with equal ease. As an encore she gave the Cry of the Valkyrie. ■ which was greeted with enthusiasm by the audience. Carolina Glee Club Concert A large audience enjoyed the concert in Memorial Hall, on November 10th. by the Carolina G ' ee Club. The stage was deco- rated with Carolina pennants. The Hawaiian selections by the Mandolin Club drew rounds of applarse. After the concert the members of the Glee Club were given a delightful reception by the Seniors and members of the faculty. The Country Store Our gym is a wonderful place. One week-end it is a beautifully decorated ballroom, while by the next week it is changed into a country store. On February 3d the usual crowd from the country around gathered at the store in full gala costume for their Satur- day evening frolic while waiting for the mail. Frank Speaight Recital It was with the greatest amount of pleasure that we re- ceived the news that Frank Soeaight was to return this year. This time he gave David Copper- field, and was as much enjoyed as before. The hall was crowded. for all who heard him last year wanted to hear him again, and those who did not were anxious to hear him for the first time. The following morning in chapel he gave several interesting selec- ti ons. o Camp Supper One beautiful autumn evening the faculty invited the students to a camp supper on the hill. When we arrived we were very much surprised to see the different members of the faculty dressed to represent college girls. When supper was over, and it began grow dark, two large bonfires were lighted on either side of a small stage. With the tires and a beautiful full moon for light we saw ourselves as the faculty sees us — in Mr. Rice ' s office, in class, and as crushes on the campus — nothing was lacking, not even the ■gum. Valentine Party A few days before February 14th all of the Seniors received very attractive heart-shaped invi- tations to a Valentine Party given by our classmate Clio Ogburn. This was our first class enter- tainment. The house was beautifully decorated with hearts and cupids We tried our skill at five differ- ent tables. First we tried to see who could make the greatest number of small words from the word matrimony. Second, to tie the greatest number of love knots out of small pieces of ribbon. At the third we were given a list of men ' s names to guess the names of their lovers. At the fourth table we showed our ignorance by not being able to give the authors for some very famous love quotations. Last we had the task of mending a broken heart, which all of us know is impossible- After delightful refreshments all of us gathered in the parlor and enjoyed piano, violin, and vocal music. Just before leaving we pulled down the cupids which were hanging by ribbons from the chandelier. On the ends of the ribbon we found a fortune which settled our future for us. Senior Hat-Burning Night Immediately upon the arrival of our caps and gowns we were ready to celebrate Hat-Burning Night Each one carrying a red torch, we marched ' from the lower campus to the basket-ball field, where Mr. Straw Hat was tried and condemned to die by fire. He was drawn to the gal- lows, followed by a train of hats. and set on fire, making a brilliant light. Several college songs were sung by us. and the remainder of the exercises took place on the steps of Senior Annex. Here we raised our class flag to the top of a tall flag pole, and with it the price went up also. Speeches were made by several members of the faculty, the exercises clos- ing with the singing of Alma Mater. and college yells, by all classes.

Dangerous Dog Five-year-old Willie was out with his nurse and his pet poodle dog one after- noon. A policeman, walking by, attempted to frighten the child by picking up his little dog, when, to his surprise, the boy addressed him quite boldly: Say. Mr. Pleece-man, you ' d better look out, one end of that dog bites. A Woman ' s Mind I ' ve just been putting ice on the brow of my best friend. he explained. The effort of trying to fathom the workings of a woman ' s mind was too much for him. He was just about to blow his last red cent on a month of fresh air for his wife, when — well, this is what he babbled as I sat at his bedside : ' John, will you remember to water the flowers in the porch boxes every day? ' ' Yes, dear; I ' ll see that they are prop- erly moistened regularly. ' ' And the rubber plant in the dining- room. Von know, it will have to be sprayed. ' ' I ' ll remember it. ' ' I ' m afraid you ' ll forget the canary and let the poor little thing starve. ' ' Don ' t worry about the bird, dear; I ' ll take good care of him. ' ' But I feel sure you ' ll forget about keeping the curtains drawn so that things won ' t be all faded when I get back. ' ' Don ' t give yourself a moment ' s un- easiness about the curtains. ' John, I ' m not going. You have some reason for being anxious to get rid of me ' . Literal Obedience A young teacher who graduated from the Normal School last June was asked one day last week to substitute in a higher grade than her own. She was a little nervous over the temporary promotion. and was very anxious that everything should go off in the usual good order While instructing the class in composition she said: Now, children, don ' t attempt any flights of fancy. Don ' t try to imitate the things you have heard, but just be yourselves and write what is really in you. As a result of this advice one little boy turned in the following composition : I ain ' t goin ' to attempt no flite of fancy. I ' m just goin ' to write what ' s in me. and I got a heart, a liver, two lungs, and some other things like that; then I got a stummick, and it ' s got in it a pickle, a piece of pie. two sticks of peppermint candy, and my dinner. Everlastingly Percy; Lend me a live, old chap, arid I ' ll be everlastingly indebted to you. Reggie: That ' s just what I ' m afraid of, old fellow. Splinters Guest: Look here! How long am 1 going ti have to wait for that half portion of duck I ordered? Waiter: Till somebody orders the other half. We can ' t go out and kill half a duck. 223 r- ' ; ? ™ r mmwC An Old, Old Practice A little fellow who had just felt the hard side of the slipper turned to his mother fi ir consolation. Mother, he asked, did grandpa thrash father when he was a little hoy? Yes, answered his mother impres- sively. And did his father thrash him when he was little? Yes. And did his father thrash him? Yes. A pause. Well, who started this thing, anyway ' ' An Objection Brow x : I understand that Senator Green wanted you to act as his private secretary. Simmons: He did, hut I wouldn ' t ac- cept the position because I should have to sign everything Green, per Simmons. Now, Arthur, said his father, you ' ve been going to school long enough to write decently. Don ' t you know how to make a figure three? Sure, said the bi y, y u put y iur pencil on the paper, and then you shiver. A physician found one of his patients sitting in the hath and swallowing a dose of medicine. What are you doing there instead of being in bed? inquired the astonished practitioner. The patient quickly responded : Well, you told me to take the medicine in water, and that ' s what I am doing. In For It Either Way Minister: Now, Tommy, suppose you did something naughty and were asked if you did it. What would you say? Tommy: I dunno. Minister: You don ' t know? Why. what would happen if you told a lie? Tommy: The devil ' d git me. Minister: That ' s right. And what if you told the truth? Tommy: I ' d git the devil. What ' s the Use? Mother. said Bobby after a full week of obedience, have I been a good boy lately? Yes, dear. replied his mother, a very, very good boy. And do you trust me? he continued. Why, of course mother trusts her little boy ! she answered. Hut the chastened child was not pacified. T mean really, really trust me, you know, he explained. Yes, I really, really trust you. nodded his mother. Why do you ask? Jest because, said Bobby, diving his hands in bis pockets and looking her meaningly in the face, if you trust me like you say you do, why do you go on hiding the jam? Sounded Like It Now, said the teacher who had been giving an elementary talk upon archi- tecture, can any little boy tell me what a ' buttress ' is? I know. shouted Tommy Smart. A nanny goat. 22-1 When the Son Sets When the iceman came out of X ' . 37 he found a small boy sitting on one of Ins Mocks of ice. ' Ere! he roared. Git off of it! The small boy raised a tear-stained face. Was you ever a boy? he asked. Of course I was. fumed the iceman But And did you ever play truant? cut in the youngster. Of course I did, snarled the iceman. Now, then, you An ' when you got home did yer father take a stick an ' ? A lump rose in the iceman ' s throat. Sit where you are. my little man. he gulped, I understand. Our Funny Language A sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleeper is that in which a sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is that on which the sleeper runs while the sleeper sleeps. Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper the sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper under the sleeper until the sleeper which carries the sleeper jumps the sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by striking the sleeper under the sleeper on the sleeper, and there is no longer any sleep for the sleeper sleeping in the sleeper on the sleeper. Her Choice The man who can drive with one hand is the man for me, answered Edna gaily. You ' re easily satisfied, replied her friend Ruth. For my part, I prefer the man who asks me to drive. No Time to Lose They bad been married just two months, and they still loved each other devotedly. He was in the hack yard blacking bis shoes. Jack, she called at the top of her voice. Jack, come here quick ! lie knew at once that she was in immi- nent danger. He .grasped a stick and rushed up two flights of stairs. He entered the room breathlessly and found her look- ing out of the window. Look, she said, that ' s the kind of bonnet I want you to get me. Putting It Gently Look pleasant, please, said tographer to his fair sitter. Click! It ' s all over, ma ' am; resume your natural expression. the Feared the Penalty Papa: Come, come. Willie. Don ' t cry because you ' ve barked your shin a little. Act like a man ! Willie (blubbering): Yes, then you ' d whip me! You told me you would if you ever caught me swearin ' . He Needed It Do you love sister Clara. Mr, Simp- son? ' ' asked the little brother frankly of the caller. Why, Willie, what a funny question! replied the astounded Mr. Simpson. Why do you ask that? Because she said last night she ' d give a dollar to know, and I need the dollar. 225 Not Thorough A colored Baptist was exhorting: Now, breddern and sistern. come up to de altar and bab yo ' sins washed away.

Well, he declared. I think I can lay just claims to being both. I admit you are brave. she responded, for you saved my life when our boat up- set the other day ; but that wasn ' t brainy, was it? It certainly was. he retorted. I up- set the boat on purpose. A Knowing Parrot What a fine parrot you have! said Harold to the young woman on whom he was calling- How is he on imitating? ' Great! said the hostess. He can imi- tate almost anything. Over at Smith ' s. continued Harold, they have a bird that can imitate a kiss to perfection. Can your bird do that? No, indeed, answered Mabel indig- nantly. Pam-ts can only imitate, and it is not likely that our bird would repeat a sound it is not accustomed to hear. Then Polly spoke. Don ' t, Will; don ' t, dear, it said. Wait until I take this wretched bird out of the When the Waiter Came Were you ringing the bell, sir? asked the waiter of the customer who had been busy with the bell for fifteen minutes.

Getting Back at Her The teacher, a lady of uncertain age, was having a hard time teaching Johnny the names of the Presidents. Why, when I was your age, she said disgustedly. I could recite the names of the Presidents backwards and forwards. Yes ' m. said Johnny. But when you were my age dey wasn ' t so many Presi- dents. Their Names Aunt Lindy had brought her three little grandchildren around for her mistress to see. What are their names. Lindy? asked the lady. Dey ' s all named after flowers, ma ' am.

Perfectly Natural Five-year-old Leila was given a teddy- bear with eyes sewed on so crookedly that the bear looked cross-eyed. The next Sunday, on coming home from Sunday- school, she was heard to call the bear Gladly. Why, what a queer name! said her mother. Where did you get it? This morning at Sunday-school, Leila replied, we sang ' Gladly My Cross I ' d Bear ' . A farmer and his wife once came to town.

Pat was found dead hanging to the head of his bed by his suspenders.

I want you to clean up the pigsty, the stable, the henhouse, and all other houses of the stock. For two days the new hand worked vigorously; then he appeared before his employer with both eyes nearly closed, his mouth swollen, and red lumps over face, neck, and hands. Gimme my money. he demanded. I ' m goin to quit. What ' s the matter? asked the farmer. I don ' t know what ' s the matter. replied the victim, but it happened when I started to clean the beehive. Employer: How much do you charge? Pat: I ' ll work for a dollar and a quarter a day and eat myself.

It contains nothing of interest to them, because it is simply a collection of our college jokes and pranks, and we feel that where ignorance is bliss ' tis folly for faculty and parents to be wise. Stolen Fruit All Salem girls like to eat and they enjoy eating on the dom. at night more than any other time. One evening Mr. Rice left the store-room door open and a bunch of bananas hanging directly in front of the door. Naturally we each took a banana and carried it to the room company where we put them all into a shoe box to keep until bedtime. Just before Bible reading each girl got her own banana and concealed it under her middy or in her coat pocket. Imagine our consternation and suppressed laughter when the teacher all un- knowingly came in and read. Search me, O Lord, etc. Caught in the Act It is a Senior privilege to entertain the members of a Glee Club after a concert. Of course the other college girls want to see as much of the fun as possible; consequently, one night after one of these concerts we hastily prepared for bed and were ready for the lights to be turned off early. Tust as si Kin as they were out we all jumped up and sat in the windows from which we had a good view of the office building and could see the bovs and girls going in and out. Everything went well until the reception was over, and just before leaving the boys got together and sang, Glory, glory to old Salem. Thoughtlessly we applauded and then it was all over for us, for scramble as we might to get into or under our beds the teacher was too quick for us and turned on the lights right in the middle of the confusion. When One Doesn ' t Mind Being Kicked One night twi of crackers. The brine her crackers girls had some mustard pickles and a third girl had a box pickle girls invited the cracker girl to visit them and They were having a merry feast, before the lights went out, when lo ! they heard the teacher coming. The visitor scrambled under the bed and the others closed the trunk so that the teacher would not be able to detect the odor of food. They thought the teacher had passed on by 230 and the cracker girl had rolled out from under the bed and was sitting on the floor talking about her narrow escape when one of the pickle girls, who was standing between her and the entrance to the alcove, gave her such a terrific kick that she rolled back under the bed. From the place, which a schoolgirl always seeks as a place of safety, she saw the teacher ' s feet not six inches from the side of the narrow bed, and heard her telling the other girls they were making a lot of noise for two. Band Practice One year we had a room-company teacher who snored beautifully. I say beautifully because no amount of noise could wake her once she got started, and we often waited for her to get started before we began any prank which we had planned. Band practice was our chief amusement. We used combs and paper for instruments, and, under the direction of our efficient leader, whose name I dare not mention, we learned so rapidly that we almost excelled the Salem Band itself. Tearing the Curtain Being late she thought the quickest way into the room was through the window, so in she came, but caught her foot in the curtain and tore a long slit in it. Miss Anna was raging mad when she saw it. The teacher said she supposed it must have gotten torn by somebody dropping a coat and catching a button in the curtain. Of course she was merely guessing, but this soothed Miss Anna and saved the girl, and they all lived happy ever after. The Feast A teacher waked one night just in time to see the last girl slip off the dom., so she immediately jumped up and followed her to the room-company side room. There she found all her girls just ready for the biggest feast of the year. They had everything good to eat that you can imagine, but had not tasted one bite. Now, girls, said the teacher, put every bit of this into this box and I ' ll send it down to the Sister ' s house to-morrow. Meekly they obeyed and then marched sorrowfully back to bed. But there is more to this ta le : The next night the teachers had a big feast and one of them was unable 231 to go to her classes next day. Of course we are not saving where the tilings for their feast came from, hut we have some likely suspicions. Misery She had gone under the bed when she heard the teacher coming, and, of course, she was perfectly safe there so long as she kept perfectly quiet. Such misery as she had to endure the five minutes the teacher staved m the alcove talking to the other girls could be surpassed only by a Spartan. One of the girls sat on the edge of the bed, and when the teacher wasn ' t looking either tickled the girl under the bed or gently jumped up and down on the bed so that the springs hit her head and shoulders, and she dared not move or speak. When the Cat ' s Away the Mice Will Play Our teacher, knowing that she was going to he out late that night, turned down her covers and laid out her nightdress on the foot of the bed so she could find it in the dark and would not have to wake us. The curtain happened to blow open later just as two of the girls were passing In and they imme- diately began to dare each other to disarrange the alcove. Finally one of them threw the nightdress under the bed to the back side, and the other girl pulled the covers up from the foot. Very late that night the teacher came back, and she scrambled around and scrambled around, but it was some time before she got settled. Electricians Four girls climbed on dressers, etc.. and unscrewed all the lights on the dom. That night they went to bed by candlelight, and the next day an electrician worked two hours before lie discovered the trouble. A String, a Tin Cup, axd a Spoon Have you ever tied a tin cup and a spoon loosely together and let them rattle? We did. We tied them together and put them behind a trunk in the middle of the dom. Then we tied two long strings to these and carried them back of trunks to the alcoves at the two ends of the dom. After the lights were out one girl pulled her string and made them rattle, then the girl at the other end pulled it her way and rattled it again. Stop that noise at once and go to sleep, warned the teacher. We waited a few minutes and repeated the 232 performance. ' STOP THAT, repeated the teacher. Just then the cup and spoon rattled furiously. The girls on the two ends each thought the oth er was slightly crazy to keep on like that just after the teacher had spoken. On came the lights in a flash, the girls broke the strings as far out of their alcoves as possible. SO all that the teacher could find was a small piece of string tied to a cup and spoon, but leading to no alcove. After a thorough investigation the two end girls confessed; but a girl in the middle, who thought the others were not making enough fuss and who reached out and rattled them to her own satisfaction, slept soundly through the investigation. Results of a Max Being at Salem There was great excitement on the dom. Some one thought they had seen a MAN there just before we came up. Two alcove mates were up on the head of a lied discussing the affair with their next-door neighbor and incidentally helping consume a box of candy. Again they heard the footsteps of the teacher as she started that way. The two girls jumped down oft of the bed making enough noise to attract the teacher ' s attention if she had not heard the disturbance before. Instinctively they both grabbed their brushes from the dresser and pretended to be brushing their hair. Thinking the danger past, as she did not hear the teacher any longer, one of the girls thought. Gee. how I would brush my hair if she were to come in here! Suiting the action to her thoughts she began vigorously to brush her hair from her forehead back and with her left band smoothed down her hair after each electrifying stroke of the brush. She noticed that her roommate seemed to lie more amused than usual, and looking into the mirror she saw the teacher standing directly behind her — .-I men! New Use for Coal Buckets One night one id the girls came upstairs after the lights were out. She walked very slowly until she got to her alcove and then she pulled back the curtain and hurriedly started in. Bing! She fell over a chair and knocked i iver a coal bucket which was in the chair. ! was what she said, as she moved the chair and coal bucket out of the way and went to the light to see if she had broken her foot. Returning a few minutes later — Bang!! she ran into the coal bucket which was again in the entrance to her alcove. ! !!!!! was what she said that time. (Giggles from all parts of the dormitory. ) A Dream In the midst of my slumbers I dreamed a dream. I knew not where I was, but the surroundings were those of a girls ' college. I stood somewhere bewildered. Suddenly an untidy, slovenly maiden slou ched up to inc. and began to talk as if it were the must natural thing in the world to meet me thus. Limp! I can ' t help limping with one shoe on and one bedroom slipper. 1 couldn ' t find my own so I grabbed this red one of lean ' s. Yes, it is loud enough to talk. Oh, heck! that dangling boot string caught and tripped me. Heavens, I didn ' t have time to lace my boots before the bell rang! My hair? I know, kid, it ' s a mess, but I ' ll comb it after breakfast. I haven ' t touched it this morning yet. Don ' t, don ' t suggest my taking off this coat at the table, because I haven ' t any waist on. I haven ' t worn a waist to breakfast for a week. Mother ' d have a fit if she saw me. but then here it doesn ' t matter. It ' s different at home. Oh, say, remind me to get my chewing-gum from under the table where I stuck it last night. This? Oh, this is a new piece — this is my best piece. The other I ' ll use for ' second best. ' What do you think. Miss Blank made me throw away my gum on class yesterday. She makes me tired always fussing about gum — wish she ' d get a new subject to harp on! My face does look a sight, doesn ' t it? Oh, I know it, lint I ' ll ' brighten it up ' a bit later and put on some powder. At this point she emitted an ear-piercing yell to attract the attention of a friend of hers standing nearby and dashed away. Once having joined her friend the two threw themselves into each other ' s arms, and stood for an instant utterly wrapped up in each other. Then they disappeared in what presumed to be the direction of the dining-room. I gasped, frowned, was puzzled. Lo! to my blessed relief I awoke and realized it had been but a dream — a horrible nightmare. What joy to find myself really here in Salem College, a place of true culture, refinement, anil courtesy, a place which stands for education in its highest sense! 234 Important Information Received From Examination Papers Becky Sharp — one of the makers of the U.
