Bishop Rondthaler was born on July 14, 1842, at Schceneck, Pennsylvania, the State in which both his grandfather and father had been pastors of Moravian churches. On his mother ' s side he is also descended from Moravian lineage. Therefore it is not surprising that he, who has inherited such remarkable intellectual traits and who had been endowed with unusual spiritual gifts, should become a great teacher and preacher. He entered Nazareth Hall in 1853, a short time be- fore his parents ' death. The five years here were followed by a four-years ' course in the Moravian Theological Seminary, and by a year in Germany at the University of Erlangen. In 1864 he became a teacher at Nazareth Hall. The follow- ing year he was ordained as deacon and accepted his first pas- torate at Brooklyn, New York. While pastor in Brooklyn, he married Mary E. Jacobson. After another twelve years, he went to the First Moravian Church in Philadelphia. Four years later he took charge of the Moravian Congregation at Salem, North Carolina. He became a member of the Provincial Elders ' Conference in 1860. During the same year the University of North Caro- lina conferred the degree. Doctor of Divinity, upon him. After the Civil War, Salem Female Academy was forced to struggle for its existence. It was at this time that Bishop Rond- thaler became principal of the school. By his tireless energy, and many journeys over the country, he revived interest among the old Salem girls, and the school was maintained. At this time, he also became President of the Board of Trustees, which position he occupies until today. On April 12, 1891, he became a bishop of Unitas Fratrum. At the present time he is the only bishop of the Southern Mora- vian Province. Bishop Rondthaler is loved by every Salem girl. He has the distinction of being the only teacher who is personally known by every girl, since all college students become his pupils in Biblical Literature during the first three college years.

IF THESE PAGES SERVE TO INSPIRE THE LOYAL FRIENDS OF SALEM, AND TO AWAKEN CHERISHED MEMORIES IN THE HEARTS OF STUDENTS AND ALUMNAE, OUR EFFORTS SHALL NOT HAVE BEEN IN VAIN  J flflrtftftAAAftrt LftA flAftAAA KW TOH B z AAAftA A AW, AA lAW.ftAAAAAftAAft B BtBtortral S ' krtrli of BnUrn iUT of the desire for making education a great sphere of Christian activity, the Moravians in Salem founded, in 1 772, the Salem Female Acad- emy, a day school for students of the Moravian community. Thirty years later the boarding department was added. So great was the development and growth of the insti- tution that by 1 866 a new charter, which provided for the new collegiate department, was obtained. For the last fourteen years Salem Academy and Salem College have been main- tained separately, although under the same administrative head and board of trustees. For one hundred and fifty-three years the ideal of Chris- tian education has been held uppermost in the minds of those connected with the institution. Through membership in the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Southern States, Salem College has become an A Class Col- lege. In recent years the Alice Clewell Memorial, a dormitory, and the Henry Bahnson Memorial Infirmary have been erect- ed. Plans for the early erection of a Central Dining Hall and Household Arts Building are being drawn up now. The same style of architecture which is characteristic of Salem pre- vails in the new buildings, lending to the whole place an atmos- phere that is quaint and unique. Judging from the eagerness with which the alumnae support their Alma Mater, and realizing the rapid advances made in the last few years, one may be sure in saying that the future holds events of glory for Salem.

The popular idea that preachers daughters are the vorst in the world surel cannot be applied to Connie. We often wonder how- she gets her lessons up sometimes a vhole week in advance.

If all big sisters sent us as accomplished little insters as Ruth did, then Salem would bubble with enthusiasm, energ , cheerfulness, and song, topped with the generosity of all of these. The poetic was not left out of her nature, for Rosa and Lois send out daily editions from the land of jingles. The muses of song and of poetry have a dual task in her make-up. These, and her golden curls. and winsome dimples, make her truly lovable. LOIS LEE CULLER KERNERSVILLE, V. C.

Should her scholastic and business abilities fail to secure for her a position in life, she might win a reputation as a jitney driver from future juniors preparing for prom.

No es verdad that her cakes, pies, and candies are good enough for any sweet shop? Even the Home EconniTiics Club has recognized this ac- complishment by electing her as its president.

Page forty-nine I SIGHTS IN SIGHTS A OIR CLASS PRESIDENTS Helen- Coble Elizabeth Leicht Ella Aston freshman sophomore junior Jean Abell SENIOR Chronicles ol the Class oi 25 Longest remembered and most pleasantly recalled are the years that bring to us our greatest happiness. The tour glorious years that the members of the Class of ' 25 have spent at Salem will be recalled in our most cherished memories. At the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Salem College, the one hundred and fiftieth Freshman Class was proud to begin its college career- There were ninety-eight of us, fresh but determined. The sophomores appeared cruel in three days of despotic and terrorizing rule, which ended in an elaborate feast, as a peace offering. The juniors were kind sisters, who welcomed us and delightfully entertained us in the g ' m. The seniors were persons on pedestals, to be gazed at wnth awe. In athletics we were enthusiastic. At Thanksgiving we joyously proved ourselves victorious over the dreaded sophomores. Then with determination we battled with the seniors, but with poor success. They were too old and experienced. As sophomores we felt it our dut to uphold the record of badness and boldness. In the initiation of the freshmen we were delighted with the idea of being the tor- mentcys. AVe were honored by our sisters, the .seniors, in being invited to take part in hat-burning. At i ' y-planting, we were decorated by them. The uncultivated minds of the year before were amassing knowledge at a surprisingly rapid rate. Every minute seized from English Lit. and Comp. were precious one.s. to be spent for pleasure ' s sake. In our junior year we felt important over the thoughts of our coming seniorhood and our dignity as upperclassmen. We worked hard in this year, ob.serving senior Pag£ fifty SIGHTS .lllllllllllllllllllllllllll Illllr ill _ INSIGHTS mannerisms and accumulating wealth for their entertainment. Our hobbies were teas, parties, fairs, dances, and food sales- As a reward for our efforts, the junior-senior prom, on the night of May 8, was a great success. Then came the morning of May 24, on which the seniors presented us with our caps and gowns. We felt a joyousness that the goal was so near, and yet there was a sense of responsibility and dignity in the donning of the cap and gown. But when we were standing at the portals of the opening of our senior year, on Thursday morning, September 11, each of the thirty-one hearts was thrilled with the thought of what was yet in store for us in these last days at Salem. We have been told that the present must become past before its happiness is fully realized, but we know that we are happy right now in the year of all years. We are loath to leave, but others are pushing us on in their eagerness. Our motto has been Generous, Sincere, Friendly. We have tried to do our best and to make our best at least a little better than that of those who have gone before. Though from her our hearts may sever, And ve distant roam, Still abides the memory ever Of our college home. Page fijiy-one I SIGHTS IN SIGHTS i PropKecy — The Journey of the Cloud USED the Prophet as she sat upon the steps commencement morn: Ah, it is here, the longed-for-day ! In two more hours the seniors — no longer seniors, but alumnr — will depart. Could I but know the destiny of each, where she will go and wha t she will accomplish! Parting would be less sad, could I but know! ij Could time but forward turn for sixteen years! Perhaps if I — I ' ll hie me to the home of Father Time and ma hap he can grant me my request. Forthwith the Prophet ran until she reached the castle of that venerable man, Father Time. He greeted her with gravity and asked : What mission brings you to me, daughter mine ? Then she replied with her request. It shall be granted. answered Father Time. Therefore, with many thanks, the happy Prophet hastened on her way. Another inspiration which surged within her made her seek the palace of the Wind. Oh. Wind! she cried. May I go with you on a journey? Let me fly to farthest lands and visit those who used to be my classmates. Replied the Wind: Oh, would you be a cloud and fly with me o ' er all the earth? A cloud? Ah, yes — a lo ' ely, fleecy cloud! So thus it was. Robed in a silvery fluffiness. dainty and light, she flew before the Wind o ' er hill and vale, o ' er mountain crest and ocean wave. Scene after scene did pass before them in pantomime. Ah, joyousness, so high up in the air! The first scene was Washington. A mighty gust of Wind and they stood high above the cir -. Oh, many times have 1 been here! whispered the Wind. Whom do you see? I see (can it be possible?) Katie Holshouser! It is none other. She has become the most efficient librarian in the Library of Congress. Is that not Frances Voung? ' Tis she — the famous congresswoman. Did you not hear her speech made to prohibit teach- ing method courses in colleges? ' Twas broadcast o ' er the world. Do you see no one else? Daisy Lee Glasgow! What is she doing here? She, Secretary of the Treasury, has revolutionized the handling of government finances. But, oh, I see another! (The cloud was lower now.) A vision of loveliness! Ah, Eliz- abeth Leight! Wife of a prominent politician, and leader of Washington society. Now, shall we not be going? Again the cloud moved on, fast driven by the Wind. Another stop. ' Tis Baltimore, the Wind announced. The Prophet stared for long. Is that not Lois Culler? It is, and she ' s a famous surgeon in Johns Hopkins Hospital. Another is there, too — Kate Hun pr, dietitian. I see, also, Jean Abell, our class president. Still is she a president, newly elected, of the National Federation of Women ' s Clubs — a happy bride, likewise. Abruptly then the ' ind began to blow, and they moved on — on to the metropolis. Immediately the cloud was thrilled with joy — joy in the heart of the Prophet. For far below were two musicians. E. P. and Ella Aston! Famous violinist and singer arc they, and have just closed a most successful concert tour Pa c fjfty-tivo SIGHTS AND IN SIGHTS throughout the States. Full many times I saw them in my travels. Their audiences were thrilled. Elizabeth Rauhut! Can she be here? Yes, and a quite successful interior decorator. I see two graceful figures — Wellons and Hannah Weaver! Margaret is an actress of much note, and Hannah teaches dancing to Fifth Avenue ' s choicest maids. Ah, that is all. Still farther north we go. ' Tis Boston, now. Even as he spoke, they found themselves there. But two are here, low spoke the Wind. One you will surely know. Yes, Flora Binder. Of course she ' s something great. The Atlantic Monthly does proudly claim her now as its efficient editor. And she has writ- ten much that will be read for years. Who is the ether one? ' Tis Mary Ogburn! What is she doing here? She ' s mistress of a dainty tea room — one which tempts the appetite of even me. Don ' t you smell spicy odors? And even the Cloud, though not supposed to smell, perceived she did. A longer journey is before us now, the Wind began, with a great gust. Come, we must go to Europe. London, first, to see a familiar face. And as he spoke, they hovered o ' er the city. Through all the fog they looked, till they beheld — • ' Agnes Carlton! shouted out the Cloud. Y ' es, it is she. The Wind spoke with a growl, and rain did fall. She ' s here collecting data for the book which she would write; ' A History of England. ' Already she has written one, much read, upon America. Unlike most histories, folks say, her books are full of humor and of human interest. But we must go. It seemed but a few moments to the Cloud till they were over Paris — Paris, the beautiful — Paris in the evening. Do I not see familiar faces — even over here? The Cloud was now in ecstasy. Ah, there is Alice Dunklee! Yes, traveling upon her bridal tour around the world. And Lois Crowell ? Great opera singer, making her debut in Europe. Surely that ' s Elizabeth Roop yonder in the gorgeous evening gown. ' Tis she— still buying pretty clothes, and wearing them, and loving them — the envy of even Paris dames and damsels. Mary McKelvie, also, I see. Ah, she ' s the charming wife of him who ' s minister to France from your country. She gave up a promising career as writer and as actress, all for love. Next stop, Berlin, the Wind announced as they moved on again. Here you will see two famous ones, and then a third. See Margaret Hanncr, there. Her Math books are well known around the globe. Her latest trigonometry contains some knowledge, so ' tis said, never known before. And Sophia Hall, a scientist of fame. She can out-Darwin Darwin. Her ' Law of Degeneration ' has been accepted everywhere— that is, not man from monkeys came, but monkeys came from man. 1 see another — Louise Woodard, there. Yes, she ' s a traveler, enjoying life in ease and luxury. And now, what should you say if we went back across into America and thence to Winston-Salem? Oh, good! the Cloud exclaimed. And they were off. First, let ' s stop here for a moment, the Wind suggested, as to Jamaica they came. They have had no rain for a week. The Cloud moved o ' er the island and gentle rain did fall. Clad in rain-coat, smiling brightly, down the steps of a building large came a lady, with a troop of laughing children at her heels. Constance Allen! cried the Prophet. Page fifty-three I SIGHTS NSIGHTS i ' Tis she, the Wind replied. A heroine indeed — the dearly beloved principal of the largest school on the isle. The Wind gave a growl just then as he pushed the Cloud along. Surely we must hurry — my journey too lengthy grows. And they found themselves in Carolina, above familiar scenes. But, why stop here? the Cloud inquired, as they came to Rural Hall. Open your eyes and look around, the Wind replied. In startled amazement the Prophet exclaimed: If that isn ' t Elgie Nance ! She ' s a candidate for governor, making speeches, you know — not to the larger cities, but to little towns, does she talk. And folks say she ' s going to win, too, by her personality. And now Ave ' re at Winston-Salem. This followed a violent push. Ah, there is Ellen Wilkinson. I wondered where she might be. ' The Prophet ' s e es stuck out of the Cloud as she looked at familiar scenes. And Kate Sheets, too, is below me. What is she doing now ? Ellen only last year became the principal of Central School. And Kate — why, she ' s the author of the famous comic page called ' Komic KHps ' — more popular even than Mutt and Jeff. The Sentinel ' s a wondrous paper now, since they alone do publish this great page. And now, do look at Salem College. Three classmates still are there. I see, I see! The Cloud grew boisterous now; the rain did pour. There ' s Mary Hill; she is the Dean of Women — efficient now, as always. Polly Hawkins is Director of Physical Education, and Ruth James head of the Department of Home Economics — loyal to Salem all. ' Tis time to go. He looked impatient. Murmured the Clud: But I have not seen all. Where ' s Eleanor Tipton? Oh, almost did I forget! But come with me, and higher fly. See, yonder ' s Jupiter. And Eleanor is there preaching to the heathen. Do you not see another? I do, and she does look much like myself. It is yourself — crowning your study of earthly languages with that of Jupiter. Of Jupiter! So I ' m a heathen, now! think it ' s time to go. know it is! And with a growl the Wind dissolved the Cloud, and then — Alone upon the steps the commencement morn, the Prophet sat and mused: Can it be true, all this that I have seen? Then, happy let us be to part to go our separate ways — happ , indeed, that we are called ' Daughters of ' 25 ' — illustrious some, happy more, and loyal all. f ' (if e fifty-four SIGHTS INSIGHTS .iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimii Last Will and Testament STATE: NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY: FORSYTH.

And the name of the giants was Sophomore- And now the Freshmen were fallen upon days of sorrow and many trials, but iinally they were led safely out of the valley of Probation and rested upon the mountain which is called Freedom. On the volleyball court they battled mightily and triumphed, and there was great re- joicing. And they lifted up their voices and cried out, Call us not Freshmen, but Sophomores; for lo! we are wise, and yet we are foolish. And henceforth they were called Sophomores. And it came to pass that strange tribes came out and fought fiercely, but the Sophomores were strong in wisdom and understanding, and it was given them to be ictorious in many battles. And they rose up and went out into far places and returned and were called Juniors, for they were no longer foolish. And it came to pass that the queen ' s son was married to a daughter of a kinsman, and there was much rejoicing and many people were bid to the wedding fejst. And the members of the tribe of Junior were exalted and set up in high places, and nuich honor and glory was theirs.

The higher education of these students began immediately by the addition to their vocabulary of two strange words — probation and initiation. The former became an actual experience even before these poor, ignorant freshmen were fully aware of its meaning; but the latter, though dreadful in anticipa- tion, was in reality a most delightful occasion. Throughout the scholastic year various entertainments were given in honor of the freshmen, each of which brought to them a truer interpretation of that intangible something called Salem spirit. Notable among these social festivities were the reception given by Mrs. Rondthaler, the dance given by the Junior Class, and the party given by the Student Council at the end of probation. Soon after school began, the election of officers took place. Marion Neely was elected president; Frances Mason, first vice-president; Anna Pauline Shaffner, second vice-president; Helen Ford, secretary; Elizabeth Traiisou, treasurer, and Margaret Hartsell, historian. The Class of ' 27 has achieved distinction not only as a group, but also, in several cases, as individuals. Marian Neely, the Freshman Class president, was selected to represent Salem College at the great international student convention at Indianapolis in December, 1923. This year the class feels greatly honored in hearing two of its members, Jenny Wolfe and Sarah Bell, make announcements in chapel as heads of volley ball and swimming, respectively. Although greatly reduced in size, the Class of ' 27, now known as the Sophomore Class, is living up to its noble reputation of past achievement, and is anticipating an extremely happy and successful year under the enthusiastic leadership of the following group of officers: Ruth Piatt, president; Ruth Pfohl, vice-president; Elizabeth Transou, second vice-president; Margaret Hartsell, secretary; Anna P. Shaffner, treasurer; and Frances Jarratt, historian.

Oh, the Freshman Class — The Freshman Class — Is leading them all around! Page seventy-eit itl SIGHTS i History of the Freshman Class N September the tenth we freshmen, the greenest of the green, arrived at Salem to begin our four years ' work. We were not quite sure what it was all about, but were vaguely awai-e that something was going on around us. Alas, a direful calamity awaited us! We were put on probation for six weeks. This added terror to terror. It was not so long, though, before we freshmen found our places in this school of knowledge. Therefore, under our capable officers — namely, Althea Backenstoe, presidejit ; Elizabeth Dowling, vice-pres- ident; Isabel Hubbard, secretary; and Mary Enloe, treasurer — we made rapid progress. To help us along, our big sisters, the juniors, gave us a picnic over on the hill. Our hearts were opened to our sisters, and we felt an inexpressible gratitude towards them, especially for the hot dogs and rolls. Our life was one event after another. But, mixed in with the toils of the classroom, we had our fun in athletics. Much to our surprise, but to our great delight, and by much hard work on the part of the fresh- man team, we were able to defeat the upperclassmen in volleyball. Our joy knew no bounds. Then came Thanksgiving, a day of great rejoicing, for we had much for which to be thankful. We were off probation, and the Student Council gave us a most delightful party in honor of our good behavior. But we also were strongly hopeful of winning the cup in basketball. Alas! we found that we had aspired to heights too great. The sophomores, our enemies on the field, but at all other times our friends, brought much grief into our ranks by defeating us, in a hard-fought game, by one point. This did not put a damper on our ardor for long. We were up and fighting again, with the firm intention of being the con- querors in hockey. We freshmen — already much wiser than we were in the past, and fully realizing that we have much to learn in the future — intend to attain to such great heights in this world that Salem will never forget us, and will be proud to call us her own.

The Presidents ' Forum is organized for the purpose of discussing matters such as the Student Friendship Fund, the Red Cross Seal Campaign, etc., that are of vital interest to the college as a whole. There is a regular meeting scheduled in each month, but additional meetings may be called if the occasion arises- The Presidents ' Forum consists of the heads of the following organizations: President of Salem Academy and College as honorary member, President Student Government, President Y.

Paffi ehjlity-li ' ve The Student Self-Government Association Officers Mary Hill PresiJent Ruth James First Vice-President Sophia Hall Second Vice-President Eva Flowers Secretary Sarah Yost Treasurer HE Student Sclf-Government Association, as is implied by its name, is an organization whose membership is made up of every girl in college. For the first six or eight weeks of the college year freshmen are associate members of the organization, for they are not made full, active members until such time as the Student Council deems it wise to lift their period of probation. The executive powers of this organization are embodied in the Student Council. The officers and representatives are elected the previous spring. The president and the two vice-presidents, as well as four representatives, are elected from the Senior Class, the secretary and treasurer and three representatives are from the Junior Class. From both of the two remaining classes, three representatives are elected. The house pres- idents act as members of the council. The president of the Y. W. C- A. is an honorary member. She has the power of suggestion, but not the power of vote. The Student Self-Government Association of Salem College was organized in 1914. The purpose of this organization has always been to develop self-control and loyalty in the students, to instill in them the highest principles of honor and self-devel- opment, and to enforce such regulations as do not fall exclusively under the province of the administration. Because of the developing and widening effect that the Student Self-Government Association has upon character, one might say that it is the most important organization of college life.

To represent Salem implies various things, among which are lovaltv and fidelity to the ideals of one ' s Alma Mater; and it was to foster just such qualities that the movement was initiated four years ago. Each year since there has been elected a committee consisting of ofi-campus members from the four college classes to represent the student body in the matter of appearance, morals, and ideals, and to influence their companions to uphold the standards of the college. It took Miss Stipe, Dean of Women, to realize that an important phase of its activity ' should be a campaign along the line of brushing up socially, and to the institute, in 1924, Social Forum, which would be the channel for teaching such extra curricula subjects as social usages, social etiquette, and profitable use of leisure time. A part of this programme were the talks on Dancing, by Mrs. Frederick Hanes. of Winston-Salem, and on Etiquette in Traveling and in Hotels, by Mrs. James Hartness, of Statesville, and Dr. Rondthaler. In the earlv spring the scope was widened by the introduction of a series of talks on health and hygiene by Miss Stipe and Mrs. Rondthaler. Appearance, morals, ideals, social usages, and health have come to be the interests of the organization, in which, as in no club or society, is cNnnced the unmistakable char- acteristic of all true Salem daughters — Salem Spirit.

The purpose of the club is to develop fluency in speaking French by means of programs in which the members take part, and during the three years of its existence it has accomplished much in this respect. The membership is composed of college students who have done advanced work with a certain proficiencv in the study of the French language and literature, teachers in the Modern Language Department, and faculty members interested in French. On the second Thursday of each month are held regular meetings at which varied and unique programs are presented. On some occasions outside speakers address the club on subjects of general interest, giving appreciative interpretations of the idiosyncracies and peculiar- ities of the French people. However, we do not rely exclusively on lecturers, but the members themselves prepare discussions on topics pertaining to French literature, history, and present-day conditions in France. Some programs are devoted to the study of the outstanding authors of France, such as Moliere, Victor Hugo. Balzac, and the famous women in French literature. In response to roll call the members quote passages from the writer under discussion or give the name of a well-known work. Certain speakers discuss the author ' s life and personality, while others review his works, literary characteristic s, and rank among the world ' s great men of letters. Carefully planned dramatizations, as well as games, add life and interest to some of the programs. The musical talent finds expression in the French songs which figure on a large number of the programs. Much effort is being expended to improve and develop the standards of the club so that it may be of more value to the intellectual life of the college. Pa r ninety-four NSIGHTS I Hor Economics Club Officers Mary Ogburn Presidenl Rachel Davis lice-Pn-siJent Evelyn- Graham Secretary and Treasurer Five years ago the Home Economics Club was organized by Miss Lettwich. The club was formed to create more interest in Home Economics in school and to work towards the creation ot a practice house. The membership is open to anyone interested in the subject of Home Economics. Parties and refi ' eshments keep the meetings from becoming dull and uninteresting. Bazaars and dinners were given to help make money for the practice house. The future for the club is interesting, because the practice house is only a dream, but the senior apartment this year marks one step nearer the long-looked-for practice house. Page ninely-fiTe History Club Officers Miss Eleanor Chase President Miriam Brietz Secretary and Treasurer Flora Binder Chairman of Program Committee The History Club of Salem College was organized three years ago for the purpose of bringing its members tn touch with world problems, both past and present. Monthly programs have been arranged which endeavor, by their variety, to touch the interests of all students. Speakers from outside Salem College have been most generous in the giving of their time, and have presented before the club historical problems or their personal experiences which will stimulate student thinking or broaden student under- standing. Among the many organizations which tend to center the attention of the undergraduate on purely college affairs, the History Club stands with open member- ship to remind the student of the larger world in which she must soon play an active part, and by bringing constantly before her matters of past and presciit importance, to keep her vision clear, her horizon far-flung.

It is the desire of the club to have a student feel that membership is a rare honor, therefore the committee on membership selected girls for the try-outs only after consultation with the faculty in regard to scholastic standing and general ability. The purpose of The Pierrette Players is to make the club one of the outstanding features of Salem College. The intention also is to make the club educational as well as entertaining. Drama is studied in its various phases, and the technique of the presentation of plays is dwelt upon with especial care. During the present collegiate year The Pierrette Players will present The Maker of Dreams. bv Oliphant Dawn; Suppressed Desires, by Ellen Glasgow and George Crain Cook; Enter the Hero, by Theresa Hepburn; and one long play not yet selected. The club will be a permanent organization at Salem. Dramatic talent, given a chance to express itself, is being unearthed all the while. If a member does not care for acting, but prefers writing, original plays will be accepted with especial interest and appreciation. Thus The Pierrette Pla ers fills a gap in the college curriculum which has long been left unfilled, and is striving, with cooperation of each enthusiastic member, to make the study of drama and the presentation of plays a necessity for the better understanding and appreciation of that most vital t pe of literature — the drama.

The constitution of this organization says that. ■The general object of this societv shall be to unite all students of science in concerted action for the advancement of scientific knowledge. The active membership is limited to twenty-four members. Each person, to become a member, must have passed two courses in science, and rnust pursue a scientific subject throughout her college course.

Kt each meeting of the societv. held every two weeks on Monday night, great interest is st imulated in scientific subjects through demonstrations, written presentations, and lectures. The programmes for the first vear of the society included an interesting discussion of public health, the explanation of magic tricks, a demonstration of the uses of carbon dioxide and oxygen, and the explanation of radio. At each meeting current events from the world of science were given an important place. , , - - l. u It is considered an honor to be able to obtain and retain membership in this society, because it demands of its members a high scholastic standard, and because its members cannot hold membership in more than two other academic societies.

Campbell Vice-President Miss Lardner McCarty Secretary Miss Eloise Willis Treasurer The MacDowell Club was organized in 1919. Having as its purpose the advancement of the cultural and social life of the college, it was titling that it should take its name from the greatest of American musicians. Edward MacDowell. From time to time the club held meetings of varied interest. Sometimes there were concerts, sometimes lectures, sometimes more nr less impromptu entertainments gotten up by the members themselves. Early in the history of the club Mrs. Mac- Dowell appeared under its auspices in a memorable evening devoted to her husband ' s compositions. In lighter vein was a series of scenes from famous novels, done by different class and faculty groups. There have been community sings, picnics, readings, and other activities as varied as these. In 1922 the : lub decided to purchase a motion picture machine. This was done with great enthusiasm. A first-class machine being installed in Memorial Hall, it was natural that most of the entertainments should be •■movies. However, the more cultural aspects of the club have not been lost sight of- This year at least two evenings of a different character have been planned. When the campaign for the college endowment was started, the club made a substantial pledge toward its support. This pledge. $500.00. has been paid in full. All students in the College, all Academy seniors, and all faculty members are eligible to mem- bership. The fee is almost nominal, and entitles the miimbers to attendance at the entire series of entertainments, which is spread over the whole college year. The governing board consists of the usual officers plus a representative from each class ami faculty group, including the off-campus students. The club is one of the liveliest and most enthusiastic organizations on the campus.

For a number of years similar conferences have been conducted under the auspices of the National Board of Young Women ' s Christian Associations. There were present at this conference representatives from every school for girls in the South. Salem College had fourteen delegates. The aim of the conference was to discover how to live unreservedly Jesus ' law of love in every relationship, and so to know God. The entire program was planned and carried out with this aim in view. For this purpose the program provided for group study and discussion and platform addresses. The manifest intention of those having the programme in charge was to excite the thought on the part of the students attending this conference rather than to hand out ready-made ideas. The discussions were very animated, and it was very apparent that the plan was successful. The topics discussed were problems of national and world-wide interest. There were a number of eminent speakers present who lectured. Foremost among these was Dr. A. Bruce Curry. Jr., of the Biblical Seminary of New York. He brought to the conference a new method of studying the Bible, which showed that the same solution to problems in Bible times may be applied to modern problems. I r. R. B. Eleazer ably discussed the industrial problems which are very prominent in the world at present. There were also lectures on the interracial situation, citizenship, and world peace. From the very first day of the conference the delegates were impressed by the fact that each one seemed to have a part in the conference. Every girl present was urged to contribute her viewpoint, and make the conference a success. Blue Ridge is the conference center in the South, and there could be no more wonderful place for such conferences than among the mountains of North Carolina. At this conference, girls from all over the South met and enjo ed the days together. To say that the conference was wonderful is putting it mildly. Ask one of the Salem delegates. She will tell you!

In this we were assisted by our kind friends, Misses Isabel Wenhold and Sara Yost, of the Violin Department; Miss Mary Cash, organ; Mr. Charles Vardell and Miss Ruth Duncan, accompa- nists; Miss Jessie Lupo, who, with Miss Desha, sang from the Messiah; and last, but not least, the faculty echo. Our work included an operetta, The College Girl and the Milkmaid, with The Spanish Gypsies, tableaux chantants interpolated.

Every girl who is regularly enrolled in the college is considered a member of the Association. This organization and its work is equally as important as any other of the many Salem organizations, tor it develops the girl physically as the V. W. C. A. develops her spiritually, etc. There is some form of athletics for every kind and temperament of girl given at Salem. The physical director is over all forms of athletics; the mechanical part is transacted by a staff of oHicers. Each sport has a head to stimulate interest, to keep up with practices, to lead and put pep into her sport. The Association has a very complicated system of points for each sport with the ultimate aim a white Salem College sweater, decorated with a yellow S, awarded for seven points in any sport each year for three years. The Association holds up a high standard. No girl may enter any sport for credit who receives more than one or two D ' s. To stimulate interest, an athletic chart has been kept for the past two years showing the per- centage of the school participating in athletics, and also the percentage from each class. This has worked up a great deal of class rivalry and motivated a great interest in athletics. The spirit in athletics at Salem has always been a source of great pride. Good sportsmanship, playing the game for the game ' s sake, being good winners as well as good losers, are a few of the rules followed.

' (jf?r onr hundred ten Basketball All through the year 1924-25 an excellent spirit was shown in baskethall. There were practice games between the clajvses in which the interest rose high, and urged everyone on to greater effort. Several da ' s before Thanksgiving, pep meetings were held, and inspiring songs and yells were practiced. There was more interest this year in the pep meetings than ever before. Each team was full of pep, and each class was backing her team. Finally the great day arrived! The weather was clear, and cold enough to lend zest to the players. Red, white, yellow, black and purple vere there in great profusion. In the running-up games the seniors defeated the juniors, and the sophomores won over the freshmen. The sister classes contended for the cup, and after much suspense, the game was won by the seniors. There were great re- joicing and real thanksgiving, for not onl - the seniors themselves, but everyone else in the school, Avas delighted that the seniors should so appropriately celebrate their last Thanksgiving at Salem.

Although as a sport it does not yet hold as high a jilaie in athletics as basketball, nevertheless plenty of enthusiasm and co-operation was shown by all. Since there were not enough upperclassmen to make the regular teams of junior-freshmen against senior-soph- omores, as has formerly been the case, and as there were twice as many freshmen as upperclassmen. it was decided to choose one team of freshmen and one consisting of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Several interesting practice games were played by these teams before the final games on Monday, No- vember 14. These games were closely contested, the upperclassmen winning the first game, and the fresh- men, the second. The score in both games stood one to one, and excitement prevailed in both teams, for only one game was needed to decide the winner of the contest. The fre.shmen finally won this game with the score of 15 to 14. Although the side-lines were lacking in quantity, they made up for this deficiency in the quality of their cheering, and lots of pep and enthusiasm was displayed throughout the games, especially during the final one. Both teams showed good sportsmanship, and the upperclassmen were as good losers as were the fresh- men good winners. The volley ball varsity was com- posed of six upperclassmen and five freshmen. With sui-h a good beginning from the freshmen this year, volleyball next year should be better than ever before.

Dui-ing that ytar two new features were introduced. These were the running broad jump and standing broad jump. The fresh- men of that year, who are now seniors, enthusi- astically partieipated. The year 1924 resulted in a successful year for track. At the annual track meet in May, the class relay races were added to the former features, running high jump, running broad jump, and standing broad jump. The relay teams were composed of four members from each of the four classes. The freshman team was successful in winning the race. Since the relay race has been added to our track events, it is certain that it will occupy- as important a place as the other features which have been instituted. The freshmen were also successful in winning the various jumps. Mary Wilder won the high jump with a record of 3 feet. 11 inches, while Ella Raper won the running broad jump with 13 feet. 2 inches, breaking Salem ' s previous record of 12 feet, 9 ' ; inches. There are bright prospects for the year 1925. and it is ctrtain that it will be another suc- cessful year for track. The records made here- to ' ore cbmpare favorably with the national rec- ords for women ' s colleges. We are proud of these records, and expect to bring them up to ;i higher mark. I I )occer And yet another sport appears on the athletic horizon o ' Salem College — soccer! Soci-er has been a major sport in the Academy for many years, but has not broken through the line of athletics in the college until the year 1925. However, the college has adopted soccer wi¥h great enthusiasm and entered into the game with much vim and pep. undoubtedly finding in it all the thrill and action so much admired in football. Stu- dents are watching the growth and the development of soccer in the college with great interest, expecting it to surpass the minor sports, and, within a few years, take its rightful place as the favorite sport of college, ranking next to basketball. Page ortf hintired sixteen NSIGHTS i Hock ey Hockey! Hockey! Hockey! That is the game which is old in history, but comparatively new at Salem. This is just tlie sixth year that this wonderful old game has heen played on this rampus. and eaeh year it gains in prog- ress and popularity. It is the game on campus which calls for the greatest number of players, and thus creates between the classes a whole- some spirit of rivalry that is so important in the success of any sport. Each fall the old girls faithfully climb to the top of the hill for practice, and they are eagerly joined by a number of freshmen who early grow enthusiastic in field hockey. This season bids fair to exceed those of other years. Jjast year the game was won by the freshmen after a hard-fought battle with the upper- classmen. This year we expect to have four spirited teams, one from each class, which will en- thusiastically compete for the beautiful loving cup which the faculty presented to the Athleti Association in nineteen hundred and twenty- four to be presented each successive year to the winning team. Interest and enthusiasm are running high, and this season ' s victory will be won only hy a long, hard flght. In the future, we are expecting hockey to take a first place in athletics at Salem. HOCKEY SQUAD Page one hundred seventeen I SIGHTS i iiiiM iiiiiki iiin SIGHTS I Tennis Te nnis, which is one of the oldest sports at Salem, has aroused more interest this year among the students than ever before. At the opening of school a large number of girls signed up to play in the tennis tournament. This year two tourna- ments will be played, instead of the regular inter- class tournaments of past years. The singles began enthusiastically, with about fifty participants. A few of this number, however, have been eliminated. Those whose names remain on the list are striving to win. The winner in the singles tournament is entitled to have her name engraved on the tennis cup. All the college girls are eagerly awaiting the time when the winner will be announced. TENNIS SQUAD Page one hundred eighteen S vimming Swimming;, one of the olrii st anr] host known sports in ail the world, has at last c-onie into Its own at Salem. We have a beautiful new pool, given by Miss Etta Shaffner, and now swimming ' is one of the most popular sports on the campus. Every afternoon when the weather permits it, the pool is crowded. Heretofore the participation in this sport has been largely prevented because a pool was not conveniently accessible. We deeply appreciate the kindness of the Y. W. C. A. in allowing us the privilege of using its pool during previous years, and thus making swimming a pos- sible snort for Salem. Every little point won in athletics helps to win the coveted S and, later, the sweater. An easy way to make some is to pass certain simple requirements in diving and swimming. Before this year points were not given in swimming, but now everyone has a chance to make Eome in it. Bas- ketball, hockey, and volleyball are games that many cannot take part in, but every girl can learn to swim if she trie.s. Life-saving tests will be given which gives a Red Cross eml ' lem to all who pass them. Besides gaining points, one gains in health, for what sport Is more healthful than swimming? Our pool is as yet out of doors, hut already step.s are being taken by the students to raise enough money to cover it. When this is accomplished, swimming will be an all-year sport at Salem. Plenty of pep and co-operation have been shown in all that has been undertaken this year in regard to swimming plans. Let us keep up tliiw spirit, and swimming will become the best sport on the campus. Baseball Baseball for the year nineteen twenty-four, twenty-five is going to stand out as one of the most prominent athletic events. This will be due to the four pre%ious years of hard work on the part of baseball enthusiasts. In May, 1924, the senior-sophomore and the junior-freshman teams met on the hill and there was fought one of the hardest battles ever witnessed on Salem soil. Amid the cheering of many loyal classmates, the junior-freshman team I roved itself worthy of the sought-fOr title. They managed to get absolute control of their opponents at the beginning of the game, and stayed far ahead until the end of the game. In the final inning the score was sixteen to four. We are quite sure that should these great champions challenge Washington, the noble Senators would be put to shame. Page one hundred nineteen Hiking A Throughout each year at Salem there is one sport and means of diversion which continues from one Saturday to another until the whole year has slipped away. Hiking, which is proper!}- called walking, is comparatively an old sport at Salem, and year in and year out it is greeted and supported by a loyal, enthusiastic group of girls. Each season presents new and attractive scenes to lovers of nature, and often girls are brought to a new and deeper realization of the every-day beauty which surrounds them. The fall brings crisp, cool da s, ideal for walking and enhanced by the vivid coloring of autumn leaves. The clear, cold days of winter give something to overcome and usually cause the hikers to hurry back home, hilarious and rosy-cheeked and happy. Springtime, of course, brings the most perfect days, with new leaves, and flowers, and birds. And, no matter which season, there is ahvays newness and beauty. As a reward for fifteen hikes, one of which is a test hike, the coveted yellow S is given at the end of the ear. Occasionally the hikers indulge in wiener roasts or picnics, thus adding to the fun and strengthening the spirit of comradeship. Each girl counts one or more new friends as she returns from a walk. There is a certain feeling of fellowship created which lasts even after the memory of the hike has faded. The freedom and fun and wholesomeness of a group of hikers appeals, eventuallv. to everv girl who takes part. For years the walking club has been enthusiastically supported. This vear it has been a decided success — in fact, the best ever. and there is no hesitancy in saying the same thing about next year, for we have the whole-hearted co-operation of a group of loyal Salem girls.

All music students are required to attend, and all those inter- ested in musical subjects are always invited. Advent Seivices by Kisliup No number of Christmas trees, no Christmas carols or bells, can furnish to Salem girls the great spirit of Christmas that is gained from the talks by Bishop Rondthaler during the Advent season. He follows various lines of discourse, he always leaves with his hearers the thought that the true spirit of Christmas is giving oneself — the sa me spirit of Christ. Lenten Setvioes by Bishop Purip! Lent the expnnded Chanel services are given over to Hishop Rondthaler to picture graphically the life, death, and glorious resurrection of Christ. After hearing one series of these talks it is an easy thing for a new student to realize why Salem people are called The Easter People. Jiuiiof-Senior Prom No, indeed, this is not a dance. When Salem College sponsors a dance, all its customs and traditions will be destroyed. But the prom is truly a promenade which the juniors give in honor of the seniors. This is the one occasion on which boys are invited to Salem. The back campus is decorated not only with Japanese lanterns, flowers, and those taking part in the prom, but also by the sophomores and freshmen, who are peeping from behind trees and hedges with envious eyes at the upperclassmen — and the men! The recreation room is made into a bower of roses (the same having been made by the tireless hands of the Juniors), where the banquet takes place. And there ' s alwa s an orchestra, too!

We tremble to think what the library would he without her. If she is not helping girls find material for their subjects, or hustling about straightening up the magazine table, she is standing, watch in hand, ready to ring the bell for classes on time. Senior Ck ristmas arols h It has long been the custom for the seniors, on the night before the Christmas ho ' idavs begin, to sing Christmas carols. Each senior carries a lighted candle. They sing around the dormitories, and then to many of the old friends of Satem who are beloved by all the girls. Senior Vespers The most impressive and beautiful of all the services connected with the Christmas season is the senior vesper service. In the library, which is the scene of a miniature town of Bethlehem, a vesper service is held on the last Sunday before the Christmas holidays. The seniors enter, singing carols and carrying candles. Each senior lights a number of candles, passing them down the rows until everybody in the room has a lighted candle. )enior Ch ristmas ' artv On the Saturday before everybody leaves for the Christmas vacation the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen give a party for the seniors. After dinner everybody gathers in the living room, which is decorated for Ch ristmas. There is always a huge Christmas tree laden with gifts for the seniors and faculty. A little verse is attached to each present, and Santa Claus reads them as he presents the gifts. After everything has been distributed, ambrosia and fruit cake are served. This annual Christmas party is perhaps the most successful of the series of entertainments of the year, for everybody is filled with something even better than the Salem spirit — and this is the Christmas spirit. Monday After noons Off A custom that is a joy to every Salem girl is that there are no classes on Monday afternoon. No matter what the weather is, the girls, dressed in their best, start for ' t3wn on Monday after- noon. One sees them in groups of twos and threes, and maybe, if it is at the beginning of school, when the freshmen have to have chaperons, the groups are as large as the much-fabled army of Coxey.

It marks the last formal meeting of the seniors before they become alumna. All meetings and exercises of the day are in charge of the Senior Class. The friends of the class are invited to the service in which the history and prophecy of the class are presented. Transfer of Caps and Gowns Just before the members of the graduating class depart finally from seniorhood. they must hand over to the incoming seniors their caps and gowns. During the few short hours the juniors have a taste of what it means to he a stately senior. In their anxietv to make known the advance- ment in learning, these new seniors ride through the city, visiting the points of interest.

And the most interesting part of all comes when the girls who are going to get married within a year run around the table. Sometimes one is greatly surprised when certain girls who have never been suspected of matrimonial intentions run around the table, and oftentimes one is surprised within the year when some of the girls who did run around are still running around, single!

All those interested in the service gather around the spot where the seniors have decided to plant ivy. A beautiful and impressive cere- mony takes place, and the ivy and trees are living memorials to the outgoing Senior Class. Daisy Chain This is one of the prettiest, oldest, and most unique customs of Salem. There is no more impressive sight than the seniors carrying the daisy chain over their shoulders, as they march down the aisle on the day of their final grad- uating exercises. Coffee Pot The Coffee Pot is not a Tea Room, as its name implies. Neither is it the place where walking limits end, as it is usually known to Salem girls. It is the place that is known as the dividing line between Salem and A ' in- ston. The Coffee Pot is a unique marking, which is in keeping with the rest of Salem. Office Building . ' very important building from which come the necessary notices from the president ' s office, the necessary bills from the treasurer ' s office, and the necessary books from the book store.

But before we get too poetic we will just say the Class of ' 25 is proud to claim her, and we often wonder vh there are not more girls like her. Edith Fagce Artistic and musical ability are combined in Edith. In addition, she has innate refinement and a sweet disposition. She is never angrv. She is a spirit still and bright, with something nf an angel light. Page one hundred fifty-tuo SIGHTS SIGHTS i Senior Class Genevieve Jackson We feel quite sure that we have a genius in our midst when we read some of the wonderful things Genevieve writes. They say all great things come from those who talk little but think a great deal, so we are expecting great things from Genevieve. Elizabeth Harringtom Lizzie is almost a landmark at Salem, and the Class of ' 25 is proud to own her. Although she is careful in choosing her friends, she is popular with many. She is a conscientious stu- dent, with lots of class spirit. Ray! Rah! Liz- zie ! Helen Johnson Helen is a paradox — a studious athlete. She has made both varsities, soccer and volleyball, and yet has a report card that looks like a Palmer drill of the letter A . In addition, she is quite an accomplished musician. The Class of ' 25 wishes success to one of its most talented mem- bers. Mary Elizabeth Johnson What wouldn ' t we give for Mary ' s hair aiM eyes! She is our chief exhibit in the line of beauty, and the old saying, Pretty is as pretty does, runs true in this case, for Mary ' s person- ality is as charming as her appearance. When- ever we see her with her specs on, we know she is either pondering over the Annual or Spanish — one seems as hard as the other, though we know she ' ll succeed in both.

Her greatest virtue, in our eyes, is her sense of humor, which has enlivened many a class. She is one of our special exhibits in the line of brilliance, and we arc sure the Einstein theory and the Fourth Dimension don ' t puzzle her a bit. AxxE Hairstox To be awake is to be alive applies to Anne, for she is alive in every sense of the word. She leads a well-rounded life, for she is not onlv studious, but also athletic. Everyone loves .Anne, for she is true blue. We all wonder how the . cademy will get along without her. MoxTE Blalock A clever person is Monte — always ready with repartee. It did not take us long to realize that she was not only a good sport, but also a splen- did student. If she puts her faculties to as good use as she seems capable of doing, we are sure that she will have a brilliant future. Wilma Kirbv Our class baby, and just sophisticated enough is Wilma. She possesses a charming personalitv, friendly manner, and in addition to being a very good student, she has that rare quality which the French call chic. Suffice it to say that Wilma is always well jack-ed up. Page one hundred fifty-four enior CI ass Pearl Fish el Pearl is a basketball star of first magnitude; neither our athletics nor other school activities will be successful without her cooperation. If we did not know there was something behind them we might be led to believe that those eyes could take her through life. She is loved by everyone, and just because she is Pearl. ROZELIND LaNDQUIST We sometimes envy Rozelind and all her W. S. H. S ' s, but then we reali e that we can ' t all be popular, so we are glad she is. Besides, she has won a name for herself in the Domestic Science Lab. making good things to eat. We all think this will turn out to be a most inter- esting combination. Ruth Marsdex Ruth ' s report card certainly has no variable- ness — at least we have no record of it; thus far it has beeen A, A, A, and we have sufficient proof that it will continue to be. Besides, we know Ruth as an organist, pianist, music teacher, a Sunday school teacher, and she is known to be efficient in all of these. Kathleen ' Parrish Kat is as good-natured and jolly as the day is long; just when lessons seem most impossible she says something to make life pure sunshine again. The Class of ' 25 would be incomplete without Kat, for she has been with us for four long years. If she thinks as much of us as we do of her, we certainly do feel flattered.

But if she vere, we could almost forgive her, as she certainly has ample cause; for, aside from her scholastic abil- ity, she is quite a pianist. It is said, Music hath charms to sooth the savage breast, and while we haven ' t reached that stage yet, we cer- tainly do like to hear her play. Elizabeth Rondthaler It is almost impossible to find a suitable word hich will sum up all of Lib ' s splendid char- acteristics. She has a cheery disposition, a sense of humor, a friendly word for all, and a fine character. We feel sure that in time she will become a perfect woman, nobly planned, to warn, to comfort, and command. Lixda Smith We are all fond of vacation, but Linda takes it when she pleases. We missed her while she was away, but she has been with us long enough to show her stuff ; she is a good typist, and a much better friend. Dallas Sixk We have evidence of the fact that Dallas does not sink, for she has conquered all the obstacles on the way to the Senior Class, and now that she is here, we wish her luck. Dallas is cheerful, friendly, and seems to accept everything with a smile. Pa e one hundred fifty-six Senior Cls Grace Sheets Still waters run deep. Grace, coming to us in the last year, with her serene qualities, has proven herself a true friend of the class. Her quietness and conscientiousness have won for her many friends. Marion Wall Marion is always happy and smiling. You can hear her cheery voice in the bluest of hours. Thus it is needless to say what an addition to our class we consider her. Although she has been with us for a very short time, we are all agreed that the more we know her, the better we like her. Rachel Wolff There are two things we like about Rachel, especially — her smiles, that we never fail to see, and the fried chicken that she brings from home. She is always willing to share both with every- body. Sharply at ten she snaps off our lights, for she is none other than our dignified monitor, who puts us to bed and gets us up. Everybody likes to be with her, because she is a sure cure for the blues. LuLA Wynne Lula is the possessor of a not unusual talent — the gift of gab. But it is not always of trivial matters that she speaks, and whenever her bright head and cheerful words appear upon the scene they drive the blues before them. Lula is one of our most attractive and lively girls.

The links in this cable are cheerful words, Unkind things left untold; And the more of these, the stronger the chain. And the firmer the anchor will bold.

Page one hundred fifty-nine INSIGHTS i Class History =p VOLL TIOX has been defined as the act or process of evolving- hanging. Moreover, the word means development, or groH-th, whether U ' tiS§ ' ' ' along physical or mental lines, or, in the case of a schoolgirl, along ' both. One of the most interesting instances of evolution is this very same bit of humanity — the happy, care-free, attractive schoolgirl. There came to Salem Academy in the fall of 1921 a girl — just an ordinary, every- day girl, but a little more excited than the ordinary girl, and even a bit more bewil- dered by her strange surroundings. At home she was the idol of anv adoring family, but at Salem she was just one among many as bewildered and excited as she. After the first strangeness had worn off and the routine of classes had begun, she was quite proud to belong to the Freshman Class and to claim friendship with the members. She thrilled inwardly and outwardly over everything, and most of all when one of the older girls showed her the slightest bit of attention. She had never known responsibility, and it was quite a shock to find that no one picked up her books, made her bed, or even waited dinner for her. Why worry about such things when she could be playing basketball or going to the drug store? Bas- ketball was such fun, and while it was a disappointment not to make the team, she could che er with the loudest and feel sure that her cheers had helped to win the game- Class elections brought suspense and new thrills. She had secretly aspired to an office and had already planned the letter she would write home. The fact that she bore her disappointment bravely and cooperated cheerfully with the winners of those enviable positions proved that she was no longer the self-centered girl who came to Salem. Needless to say, she was a little homesick at Thanksgiving, but by counting the days, hours, and minutes until Christmas, she became light-hearted again. The spring term brought with its hard work many social festivities, the most enjoyable of which were the picnic at Old Town and the party for the juniors at Lybrook Farm, The joys of the summer caused her to forget the hard examinations, and when she returned in the fall she took advantage of the fact that she was an old girl and a sophomore, and lorded it ' over the freshmen, forgetting how bewildered she had been. She was thrilled when she made her class volleyball team, and thrilled again when her team won. Vith fear and trembling Christmas she boarded the train for home, for she had bobbed her hair. What would her family say? Basketball practice began soon after her return, and every spare moment was spent on tne basketball court. But when spring came even sports lost their fascination. The sophomores entertained the seniors, and to be hostesses to such celebrities required much dignity. She played her part well, because she still had that enthusiasm that never fails. That was a glorious ride to Dunlap Springs in the trucks, and quite a supper had been prepared for them. They showed the seniors that the sophomore class knew how to do things just right. As a climax to the year. Miss Taylor, who had been elected class teacher, gave a beautiful party on the back campus. Pa t ' one hundred sixty SIGHTS INSIGHTS I Summer came once more and our Salem girl went home and told her family glee- fully that the next year would find her a junior. How important that sounded! All kinds of changes were to be noted in her, for she was growing up. Although she was just as happy and had just as much fun, she entered upon a year of hard work with a seriousness of purpose that was new to her. All year they were busy making money for the crowning event of their social life, the dinner for the seniors at the Robert E. Lee, and it was quite worth all their efforts. Even the events of their senior year could not eclipse the grandeur of that banquet. And so at last this class of which our Salem girl was a member attained the dignity of seniorhood. It had taken hard work, but it had been fun, nevertheless, and all the memories which remained were happy ones. They say that men are just boys grown up, and with equal truth one may say that seniors are just freshmen grown up a little. Of course, on public occasions, she, as a senior, carried herself with all the stateliness which her position demanded, but if those freshmen could have seen her when she was with others of her class, they would have seen that she still had a large share of light- headedness which might be repressed but would never be destroyed. In athletics these seniors were fortunate enough to taste both the sweetness of victory and the bitterness of defeat, for they won the volleyball game but were van- quished on the soccer field. The Thanksgiving banquet was quite as enjoyable as u sual — perhaps even a little more so — and the Christmas holidays were beyond de- scription. During mid-term examinations and the long spring term they stayed and played and were both sad and gay. Gay that vacation days were coming; sad that so many of them would have to say a real good-bye to Salem and to Miss Taylor, who for three years had been their class teacher and sincere friend. The juniors en- tertained for them and made that day a memorable one for our senior and her sisters. At last commencement came, and the Academy Class of 1925 received their diplomas. Although there were few of those white-gowned girls who realized the fact, each of them had changed, for they had attained, in a measure, the maturity and dignity of womanhood. G. J., ' 25. Pa e one hundred sixty-one Class Prophecy June , 1935. A S -FAR RUTH: Well, at last my dream is to be realized, and the long-coveted trip ; , ' ' - abroad is to be mine. Only t vo short days, and I will sail, bound for points all jj 1 ' round the world. I arrived here in New York last night, and having decided -; j ' : ' •? 3!! the oM Salem girls that I could on this trip, I went today to see Kath- ■- = — . ■ ■ leen Parrish and Rozelind Lanquist at their studio in Greenwich ' illage. Kat is quite a famous artist now. and Rozelind is much in demand as an artist ' s model. When I left them 1 called a taxi, and who should be at the wheel but Lucy Cox! She is succeeding wonderfully well in a financial way, and says that the unusual life of chauffeuretle pleases her much better than a more commonplace profession. I climbed onto the seat with her and she drove me out to one of the suburbs of the cit , where lartha Bowden and Anne Hairston are living. They have a lovely apartment, and Martha is still trying to decide which of two men to marry, while Anne works laboriously over a book she is writing, called The Care and Feeding of Babies. Anne says she is a confirmed old maid, but I have my doubts. Wednesday. — Whom do you think I met on the street today? Lula Wynne! She is spend- ing her honeymoon here, and of course 1 had to be introduced to her husband and told all about the wedding. I didn ' t even know she had been married — fancy that! Anyway, they are going to spend a few weeks here and then settle down out in California. It seems that they are to be near Mar Johnson. She ' s quite a famous movie star now and is extremely popular in Hollywood, as well as being even more beautiful than ever. Lula and I had a delightful chat about our old classmates. She told me that Rachel Wolff had at last developed a sylph- like figure and that she was conducting a splendid reducing class in some Southern city. Helen Johnson, she informed me, has a six months ' engagement with Keith ' s as a tight-rope walker. I can ' t exactly imagine Helen in such a role, but I know she would make a success at anything she undertook. We had both heard of Cam Boren ' s engagement and what a round of parties and gaieties were being given in her honor, and also of Linda Smith ' s success in her business career. Perhaps you kne v that Helen Bailey is the society editor of one of the big Chicago papers and is very much interested in her work. And Barbara Heath still has the faculty of standing in with her instructors at the university- where she is studying law. I am so glad that some of our old classmates are still at Salem. Brownie Peacock teaches music there and bids fair to make a second Dean Shirly, while Ruth Marsgen has entire charge of the Latin Jcpartment. Lula and 1 were loath to part, but as it was growing late, we bade each other good-bye. I simply cannot realize that I am on my way to Europe. The only flaw in my trip is that you are not here to enjoy it with me, but of course you would not leave your work. 1 should have known, even back in the days of good old Salem, that you would teach domestic science — and in Florida, too! And now, I ' ve another surprise, for whom do you think are right here on the boat with me? Eliza] th Harrington and Marion Wall ! Lizzie, as you know, was married soon after she left the Academy, and you can ' t imagine how happy I was when I met her on the ship. We simply fell into each other ' s arms. She introduced me to her two little sons, whom she is taking with her to Europe on a pleasure trip. I am so glad that we can be together once again. Marion, I learned tonight, bids fair to be the belle o ' the boat, as she is quite a social butterfly and has traveled widely. She speaks casually of running over to France and ' spending the winter abroad, and I feel that ray hard-earned voyage is quite trivial when I hear this PaffC one hundred sixty-tii-o SIGHTS i sophisticated woman of the world. Nevertheless, she is just as cordial as ever, and we had a long talk together. She said that she saw Zaidee Dorough the last time she was on the Med- iterranean. Dash married a missionary to Africa and she and her husband were taking a vacation. She savs that Dash is intensely interested in their work, and that the natives are very fond of her, but, somehow or other, I can ' t connect Dash and missionaries — can you? London, Julv io. — We arrived in Liverpool two weeks ago and you can imagine just how- honored I felt when I saw that the American Ambassador to England and his wife were down at the dock to meet me, or rather, us. It was Elizabeth Rondthaler, and let me tell you, her high position has not changed her one bit, for she is just as charming as ever. She entertained us delightfullv while we were in England, and it was with much regret that we left her. She told me that Pearl Fishel is happily married and is living on a ranch in Texas. She said also that Mabel An gel had made quite a fortune from some kind of mechanical device which she invented, and that Dallas Sink was making a lecture tour of the States for the Woman ' s Chris- tian Temperance Union. I don ' t see how in the world she manages to keep in touch with so many of the old girls. Paris, July 12. — Paris at last! And with it, some more of our old chums. Edith Fagge is studying art here and when I went out to her studio in the Latin quarter, I found not only Edith, but also Genevieve Jackson. It seems that Genevieve is still pursuing her musical career in Berlin, and had come down to spend her vacation with her old friend. Edith told me that Genevieve was an accomplished violinist now, but was not yet satisfied with her work. Mar- garet Wooten is truly a second Pavlowa. She is making a dancing tour of Europe, and tonight I went to see her performance. After it was over I went around and spoke to her, and I found the same old carefree Margaret. We had a delightful dinner together and discussed many of our classmates and school days at Salem. I saw Wilma Kirby before I left, and she is married to a devoted husband and is li ing in North Carolina. I got a lovely letter today from Elizabeth Crouse. You remember how much patience she used to have? Well, she is conducting a kindergarten in Winston now, and they sa ' the children are very fond of her. Ruth Alspaugh is teaching in a school in Arizona, and she tries extremely hard to teach the little Mexicans how to be the good American, as well as their A B C ' s. Alice Carmichael, I learned from Margaret, is doing splendid settlement work in the slums of San Francisco. It seems that she married a wealthy broker there, and is now using her money to help others. Ruth, do forgive me for making this letter so long, but I knew that you would be just as interested in our old classmates as I am. Write me often and always tell me any chance piece of news which you can glean about the dear old Salem girls. I do so want to keep in touch with them. Love always, Monte.

Last ear the teams were matched very evenly, the final same tieing with a score of nothing to nothing. This year we hope the teams to be even better prepared, since we will not have to vaste our energy in climbing the hill to practice. Our new soccer field has just been completed; and, although some players will probably miss the persimninn tree nn the old one, they may be able to find some other means of re- freshing themselves.

Byron had not met the Gloom Chasers, but we are tempted to think he had them in mind. We began our career as an antidote for the blues with a reception to the faculty, at which Dr. Rondthaler distinguished himself as a marksman with the popgun. Our emblem is the optimistic sunflower, and our purpose is to cheer up Salem. Judging from the membership, which consists of the entire student body of the Academy, our success is more than assured. From seven until nine-thirty South Hall rings with merriment. Do you doubt that the Gloom Chasers will last through many Saturday nights?

This store, as you can easily imagine, has a large patronage, and the proceeds are used to send two delegates to Montreal every summer to the ■oung People ' s Conference. The purpose of the ' ' . W.
