The school supplied a need of the time, and in i802 a board- ing department ii ' as added. Girls of other denominations from the entire South came to Salem Academy in after years because of its u ' holcsome Christian training. In lS66 a new charter tras granted uhich provided for a collee inte department. Durincj the past fifteen years Salem Academy and Salem College have been maintained as separate institu- tions, but both under the same administration. In recent years Salem College has been granted a rating as an A college and stands in scholarship among the higher colleges for women. The chief charm of Salem, hotvever, xvill ever be its unique atmosphere and its high ideals. The alumnae shoiv their appreciation of ii ' hat Salem meant to thetn by sending their daughters and granddaughters there. Any historical sketch of Salem College luould be incom- plete without recalling the period of Bishop Edicard Rondthaler ' s connection with it since the Civil IVar. Today he is the venerable and beloved teacher of Bible. His presence is a benediction, and his life an inspiration to the girls so fortunate as to inotv him. If ith one hundred and fifty-four years of splendid Christian education and thousands of loyal alumnae, it is safe to prophesy a future full of glory for Salem.

Also I conclude that her personality wins for her many friends, and her willingness to work makes her an excellent business manager and laboratory assistant. .4 Adelaide Sara Caroli DALGHIKR OF Mr. an ' d Mrs. W.

Page-fifty-six IM5ICHT5 Flora Spurgeos freshman OUR CLASS PRESIDENTS LuciLE Reid Rosa Caldwell SOPHOMORE JUNIOR Helen Griffin SENIOR History of tke Class of 1926 N ' DOL ' BTEDLY each nieniber of the Class of twenty-six will review her past four years according to her own feelings and point of view, re- calling vividly certain joyful occasions, and completely forgetting others. Still, there are some events in our life at Salem which all of us will recall. In the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty-two a group of very Ignorant freshmen entered Salem ' s portals. There were one hundred and ten of us; green but very determined. The first really enjoyable occasion that we as a class attended was the reception given by Mrs. Rondthaler in our honor. The bold, bad sophomores lived up to their reputation by inflicting upon us three days of despotic and terrorizing initiation, which were followed by an elaborate feast as a peace oftering. This was held over the hill, and needless to say the two classes enjoyed it immensely. Our sister class, the juniors, gave a delightful party for us. Ve, in turn, wanted to show our appreciation, and invited our big sisters to be our guests at a luncheon. This affair was planned in fear and trembling, as it was our first social attempt. The next event of importance during our freshman year was the ba,sketball game on Thanksgiving. At this game we caught the long-talked of Salem Spirit. Although as freshmen we had other and varied experiences, we settled down after the Christ- mas holidays to hard and earnest work. As sophomores we adopted an air of sophistication. Instead of forcing the fresh- men to undergo the terrors of initiation, we gave a circus with them as chief actors. Page fifly-ieven ( IM5I HT5 .■ ? T ?.fftf.Rff.i-i;. ,ta.fflMa,Y .a?i ' ?i.t(.v,i,fii. ,e: This took place on the afternoon of October the sixteenth, and was indeed a gala affair. In athletics we were very enthusiastic. At Thanksgiving we joyously proved ourselves victorious over the dreaded freshmen. Then, with determination, we battled with the juniors and were again victorious, thus winning the Welfare Athletic Cup. We were honored by our sisters, the seniors, who invited us to take part in Hat Burning and Ivy Planting. When we came back in the fail of nineteen hundred and twenty-four as juniors, we began to feel more like civilized human beings and less like green, homesick fresh- men. We felt very important over the thought of becoming seniors. As every junior knows, the main object of existence is always the junior-Senior Banquet. Much time was spent accumulating wealth for this occasion. Many parties and stunts were given for this purpose, and as a reward the banquet was a great success. The Thanksgiving games came again, but we were unsuccessful and resolved to make a harder fight than ever in our senior year. Then camj the last Friday afternoon, on which the seniors presented us with our caps and gowns. We accepted our obligations to our college with sincere resolutions. Thus as we filed down the aisle of Memorial Hall for the formal opening of Salem ' s one hundred and fifty-fourth session, we had a distinct feeling of awe. We were more digiufied and serious-minded than ever. As a class, we tried to realize some of the ideals that Salem upheld for us. The different duties and pleasures of that senior year brought us into closer touch with our Alma Mater and with each other. And now that the goal of graduation has been reached, we stand upon a new threshold. Reminiscing, we are happy; contemplating the future, we are happier. Whatever fame and fortune we acquire in later years we owe to our . ' lma Mater. Faffe fifly-ciijlit Class Propkecy HE FACE of the old clock in Main Hall seemed to smile down benevo- J lently on the girls as they passed in and out. And why should it jiot be happy, tor was not this the reimion of the Class of 1926? It had been g5 ] three or four years since the ancient timepiece had beheld many of those present. The clock was ticking busily away with apparently no other idea in its round old head t han to hurry the minutes along, but in reality it was very much interested in this gathering. Whatever became of Mary Lee l aylor? the old clock pondered. As if in answer to this loudly ticked question, two girls paused nearby, and the following conversation ensued : I wonder if Mary Lee will be here, ' ou know she ' s teaching in Johnson City now. No, 1 hadn ' t heard that, but 1 just learned that Rosa Caldwell has forsaken her post as editor of the Concord paper for a few days in order to be here. I ' m so glad, came the answer, for Lucile Reid is here, too. She has just re- turned from South America. You know she went in for science and that sort of thing very seriously. Lucile says she heard Christine Brooks sing in the opera in Buenos Aires. There were a few more words and the pair moved on, leaving the old teller-of-time almost bending forward in an effort to catch the remainder of the conversation. Such interest was very natural, for here was news of its old friends. The clock had settled back to its usual .steady ticking, when there was a chorus of delighted squeals as a group of girls excitedly embraced one another, asking and answering questions all the while. The pendulum seemed to swing faster in excitement as it heard these words: Why, Connie Fowler, you don ' t mean that you are teaching here? No, but I ' m Dean Shirley ' s assistant. Sara ' ' ost is here, too, teaching violin, and we have the best times. Speaking of teaching, Eva Flowers has charge of the Home Economics Depart- ment of the Mount Olive High School, and Anna Southerland is also teaching there. There was a lull in the conversation as several of the girls moved on. The old clock ticked away in delight at this news of old friends, but its curiosity was not yet satisfied. Therefore, with much interest it listened to this further conversation: Have you heard of (jrace Cox? It ' s quite a romance ; she is to be married in two weeks, after having known the man only a month. Yes, that ' s fine, and Kathcrine Emmart and Sadie Holleman are teaching in the High School. By this time there was quite a crowd gathered near the eavesdropping timepiece; the commotion almost drowning out its faithful tick-tock. Pafjf fifly-nine ■sn ? - 5I HT5- «!£k %Mt° iSMA M,% IM5I HT5 Rachel Davis! How in thi- world did you get away from Johns Hopkins? I ' m so glad to see you ! Babe Robbins and Elsie Barnes just came in. They ' ve been coaching athletics in Rocky Mount and V ' ilson, but I suppose they ' ll forget for awhile the rivalry between their basketball teams. I know Mary Anderson and Sue Carlton will arrive sometime today, for Alpha Shaner saw them in New ' ork while on her wedding trip. Mary is making quite a hit in musical comedy, and Sue is playing the organ in a large church there. Eloise Willis and May Hairston are both here. Eloise is the assistant in the Science Department and May is teaching in the Academy. I suppose Salem is a habit with May now. Yes, she wrote me about it, and also that Augusta Webb and Myrtle ' alentine are to be married the same month. The best news of all, though, is the success of the Chautauqua concerts given by Adelaide Wright and her brother. They seem to be charming their audiences all over the United States. That reminds me, Miriam Brietz is a foreign correspondent on the Neir Yorl- Times. We had a cable from her and Evelyn McGehee, who is studying piano m Paris, expressing their regrets at jiot being here. I ' m so sorry Janice Warner couldn ' t come either, but she wrote that her family could not spare her long enough to make the trip. So many of the girls couldn ' t come back, but I don ' t suppose we could expect them all. It ' s lucky that so many of the Winston girls are staying home this winter. Ruth Efird and Rovvena Cromer are doing splendidly in welfare work here. Margaret Nichols just told me that while chaperoning one of her Western tours she saw Evelyn Graham and Carrie Mae Baldwin at the ' Green Tree Tea Room ' in Los Angeles. Evelyn is hostess and Carrie Mae sings. It ' s still a question whether the main attraction to the university men is food or Evelyn and Carrie Mae. Have you been in Elizabeth Brooks ' exclusive style shop? They say she has quite put Montaldo ' s out of business. Lillian Bennet is a partner in the firm, too, I hear. Elizabeth Halin and Elizabeth Shaw are both at George Washington L ' niversity Hospital in Washington. Elizabeth Hahn is one of the dietitians, and Elizabeth Shau will become a graduate nurse this year. By twos and threes the girls moved down the hall, leaving the old clock in sus- pense as to the whereabouts of others of whom it wanted news. The silence was finally broken by these words: ou ' ll never in the world guess what I just saw in The Atlanta Journal in the library! It was an account of Irma Heaton ' s wedding, and also a picture of her and her husband. He is a Spanish nobleman whom she met in Madrid while touring Europe. The account says he was quite mad about her and followed her all over Europe. Page sixty Well, she has at last really become a Spanish senorita, but she is not the only one of our class who has attained her highest ambition. Clemmon Brown is making her debut on the concert stage in Berlin this winter. Elsie Harris was one of the attendants at Irnia ' s wedding. She came down from New ork, where she is starring in a new musical comedy. Ruth Clark Brown, or rather Dr. Brown, is going to give us a lecture this afternoon on parliamentary law. She is considered one of the foremost women lecturers in America, and it was only by a stroke of good luck that she could be here. Lucile Burke is teaching in Greensboro and is coming this morning. That makes one more to add to our diminished number. Somebody just told me Helen GrifHn is giving her kindergarten an extra holiday and will be here on the same train. Both Elizabeth Reynolds and Elizabeth Xewmaji are married and living in Baltimore. They ' re coming and bringing their husbands. And, by the way, Eliza- beth Reynolds ' husband is a Methodist minister. Ophelia Conrad is becoming quite wealthy by means of her bantam poultry farm, I hear. It is on the outskirts of Winston-Salem; so she will be here, I suppose. The ringing of the bell, announcing lunch, interrupted the conversation of the group. As the last girl filed out the door the ancient clock settled down with a satisfied sigh, as if to say, I always knew those girls would amount to somethiiig.

History of the Class of 27 i? 3® S the old clock on the church struck ten on the morning of September the twelfth, nineteen twenty-three, the chapel procession started from Main Hall and the illustrious Class of ' 27 began its career with one hundred and eight members, fresh, but determined to surmount all the obstacles which would come in their path. Eventually the terrible days of probation were passed, and the freshmen experienced the joy of freedom, and also took their first step into the social life at Salem ; for they were given a partx by the Student Council, a reception by Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler. and a dance by the Juniors. In athletics the freshmen took a very prominent part, and played with enthusiasm and pep. Much to their disappointment, they were unable to be the winners at the Thanksgiving basketball games; nevertheless, they were good losers and profited b} ' their experiences. Vhen the fall of nineteen twenty-four arrived, the Freshmen girls once more re- turned to Salem, as bold and bad sophomores. They realized that theirs was a respon- sible position, for the freshmen of that year had to be trained ; but soon this task was accomplished and the sophomores began to practice once again for the Thanksgiving games, and occasionally they would be seen studying. Much to their delight, they were victorious over the freshmen in the Thanksgiving game, but their noble sisters, the seniors, were the victors of the day. In the spring of that year the seniors were entertained at a picnic, and thus ended the activities of the sophomores. This year when they returned they found their number greatly diminished, but they took heart, because they were told that it was quality and not quantity that counts in life. TTiey felt the responsibility of being big sisters to the freshmen, and in order to let them know that they were truly their friends they gave them a party in the Hut. Now they are once again busy with basketball, but chiefly with raising money for the entertainment of the seniors, and they are certain that under the leadership of their capable officers the year nineteen twent5 ' -five and twenty-six is going to be a notable one for the Class of ' 27. - Pafft- sevt-nty ( Sophomore Class -I ' A Iv Colors: Red and White Fh=wvr: Red Carnatinn Mnllo: Friendly and true.

Page seventy-nine History of Sopnomore Class IE arrived at Salem College in the fall of 1924, as one of the greenest freshnian classes ever known. Realizing that we knew nothing, we looked with awe and bewilderment upon all upper classm;n, and also upon our surroundings. With the able assistance of the Council girh and our sister class we passed through many wear - weeks of trials and tribulations, weeks that arc usually known as probation. Finally we were free from all such restraints. Our joy was short-lived, however, because exam week was due. Much electricity- was spent during this time. Fin ally, after a desperate struggle, exams were overcome and became a dim event of the past. Looking back over the year, considering hardships and pleasures, wc realized that it was an important milestone in our journey cf life. Once more we have returned to our Alma Mater. This time not as green fresh- men, but as all-wise sophomores. This year we have experienced great joy in realizing that there are some in our own environment who are supposed to know less than we. After selling all the radiators, floors, and other vendable articles to the numerous fresh- men, we settled down in order to conquer new fields. Every organization must have good leaders, therefore we chose Catherine Edgerton, president; Dot Schallert. vic;- president; Mary Ardrey Stough, secretary-; Virginia Welch. trea:urer. to have the honor of leading the noble Class of ' 28. The first notable event of the year was the holding of the first swimming mzet. Ve won the meet, but the valiant freshmen ran us a close second. In basketball, we repeated this success. In our studies we have become more diligent than ever, due to the fact that our instructors are afraid that in some way we might get the impression that we are taking a rest at some winter resort. Taking everything into consideration, we feel assured that our faculty will shed many tears when the present Sophomore Class is no more, on account of the genius and ability of its members.

The executive powers of the orgaiiization are embodied in the Student Council. The president, the two vice-presidents and four representatives are elected from the Senior Class, the secretary and the treasurer and three representatives are chosen from the Junior Class.

Ever - girl in college is at some time during the year given an opportunit to take part in these services and is thus given a chance to show her interests and to develop a deeper and richer side to her varied life.

Did you not enjoy those delicious eats from the Y Store? And lastly, did you not just swell with pride over the things that your As- sociation was doing and feel that it was a part of you and that when it grew you grew, and when you grew it grew?

To represent Salem implies various things, among which are loyalty and fidelity to 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 on- and off-campus members from the four college classes to represent the student body in the matter nf appearance, morals and ideals; and to influence others to uphold the standards of the college. Miss Stipe has given her time and suggestions toward making I. R. S. more active and more ben cial. It was she who suggested the teaching of extra curricular subjects such as social usages social etiquette, social initiative, co-operation and other desired qualities of good citizenship, through the organization of Social Forum. Appearance, morals and social usages have come to be the interests of the organization, in which, as in no other club or society, is evinced the unmistakable characteristic of all true Salem daughters — Salem spirit. I Page ninety-six 5I HT5- MlM IN5I 3HT5 , The Home Economics Club The Home Economics Club is one of the oldest and most active departmental clubs on the campus of Salem. The club was organized in nineteen hundred and nineteen for a two-fold purpose. The primary purpose is to have a social organization of all those interested in Home Economics and its study. The second purpose is to establish a practice house to take the place of the present apartment which is now used for housekeeping for a period of six weeks each year by the Home Economic Seniors in groups. Th)s year the club has a membership of one hundred and five from both the student body and faculty. This is the first requirement for membership in the State A.ssociation of Home Economic Clubs. The other qualifications we hope to acquire soon, in order to become full-fledged members of the Association. The programs of the year are varied. They consist of addresses by those who are authorities on questions concerning the household. These meetings occur twice each month and often a social hour takes the place of a lecture.

The purpose of the club is to bring its members in touch with world affairs, both past and present, and at the monthly meetings historical problems .ire presented by various speakers. Dead Doges and Living Fascisti, Indian Relics and Modern Politics, the Young Turk Movement and the Native Land of Sir Walter Scott — such is a list of subjects taken at random from the History Club program of the last two years. Speakers from in and out of town who are particularly well versed in their own subjects, visit the club and gi ve interesting and instructive lectures. The History Club, however, does not depend entirely on outside talent for its programs. From time to time during the year, students take part in the programs, and it is safe to say that these meetings arc not less interesting than others. The membership is open to any student or teacher, and the only requirement for a member is that she have an active interest in important world affairs, both past and present.

Business Manarjir Althea Backenstoe ' . . , Stage Manaijer Dr. Willouchby Director The dramatic society of Salem College, the Pierrette Players, was organized in the fall of 1924, and at once became a busy and effective college club. The membership is limited to twenty students and five faculty members. The students are chosen for their dramatic ability and are selected by the try-out method. The limited number of members makes the Society an efficient one, and enables it to uphold its high standards of performance and general accom- plishment. The initial performance of the Pierrette Players was a group of three one-act plays: Enter the Hero, Suppressed Desires and The Maker of Dreams. In these the Society made its bow to the public and was very kindly received. This performance was followed in the spring by a three-act play, The Mollusk. The play committee has already made many interesting plans for this year. The MacDowell Club has asked the Society to present a one-act play at each of its meetings. The plays thus given during the autumn were: The Minuet, The Flower of Yeddo, The Mouse-Trap and Where But in America? In January a three-act play was given, this being the Society ' s first real dramatic presentation. A number of one-act plays will be featured at the spring meet- ings of the MacDowell Club, and another long plav will be presented near the end of the school year. The meetings of the Society are instructive as well as entertaining. This term contemporary drama is being studied, and a contemporary play is read at each meeting. A new feature of the meetings, and one which promises to be very attractive, is the report given by some member on the most interesting articles in the Theater Arts Monthly, to which the Society subscribes.

The aim of the society is to unite all those students interested in science, and to stimulate ijiterest in the sciences, both in college and in high schools. The membership is limited ta twenty-four. To become a member of the society, a person musf submit an application, and be approved by the membership of the society. To retain membership it is necessary to keep a high scholastic standard in all studies. The program during the year 1 925- 1926 includes papers, demonstrations and trips to points of interest in the city, such as the American Bakery and the Forsyth Dairy. i ' age one hundred The MacDowell Club Ol-I-ICERS Miss Chase . .

Having as its purpose the advance- ment of the cultural and social life of the college, it was fitting that it should take its name from the greatest of American musicians, Edward MacDowell. From time to time the club held meet- ings of v.-iried interest. Sometimes there w ere concerts, sometimes lectures, sometimes more or less impromptu entertainments arranged b the members themselves. Earl - in the histor ' of the club. Mrs. MacDowell appeared under its auspices in a memorable e ening devoted to her hus- band ' s compositions. In lighter vein was a series of scenes from famous novels, done by class and faculty groups. There have been community sings, picnics, readings and other activities as varied as these. In if)22 the Club decided to purchase a motion picture machine. This vas done with enthusi- asm, and the present year leaves the club free from all debt incurred through the great expense of that undertaking. A first-class machine having been installed in Memorial Hall, naturally most of the entertainment became movies. However, the more cultural aspects of the club have not been allowed to drop out of sight. This year on three different occasions through the co-operation of the college dramatic club, the Mac Dowell Club has been able to present stage plays of interest and worth. Programs, other than dramatic, have also been planned. A students in the College, all ■ ' Kcademv seniors and all facultv members arc eligible to mem- bership. The small fee admits the member to the entire series of entertainments, which is spread oyer the whole college year. The governing board consists of the usual officers, plus a representa- tive from the faculty and from each class group including the off-campus students. The club is one of the liveliest and most enthusiastic organizations on the campus. Page one hundred one M5I HT5 .„. ' ;uA?.ffrf.Sff.%a.-?,ifl.a. ' ii.a,Yj.Ti. ' ?.

By means of a relatively simple, though effecti e and efficient organization, it is possible to have all the girls out of the dormitories in less than two minutes. Two hundred students, realizing the necessity of complete observ- ance of fire rules and regulations, co-operate with a force of twenty-six captains and first lieutenants, and make Salem College prepared in case of fire. The rules governing fire drill are posted conspicuously in every student ' s room, and a copy of them appears in the Handbook. The first drill of each year is announced, but unannounced drills come at frequent intervals.

The purpose of the club is two- fold: (i) To develop a greater fluency in speaking French by means of programs in which the members take part, and (2) to promote a fuller knowledge of the customs and characteristics of the French people, and a greater familiarity with the lit- erature of the countr . There are regular meetings on the second Thursday of each month, at which varied programs are presented. These meetings are conducted entirely in French, and the programs consist of short plays, talks, poems, French songs, and selections from famous books. Some programs are devoted to the study of the most representative French authors, for example; Victor Hugo, Moliere, and others. In response to the roil call the members (juote passages from the writer under discussion, or give the name of a well-known work. Sometimes French proverbs are quoted. Dramatization of well-known plays gives variety and interest to the program. On some occasions outside speakers address the club on subjects of general interest. After the regular program a social hour is sometimes held when French games are played and conversation in conducted in French. Le Cercle Francais is comparatively a new organization at Salem. Much effort is being expended to improve the standards of the club so that it may be of more value to the intellectual life of the college.

The monthly meetings include interesting outside speakers as well as practical demonstrations of applied mathematics.

Athletic Association Makv Aha Robb.vs • • ■ President Elsie Barnss • ■ ■ I ' cc-Praidcnt Marv Buckner Secretary Sara Turmnriox Treasurer The Athletic Association of Salem College has for its purpose the development and supervision of athletics. Every girl who takes part in at least one sport is considered a member of the Association. This organization and its work is equally as important as any other of the Salem organization. It develops the girls physically. There is some form of athletics for every type of girl given at Salem. The physical director and her assistant have charge of all forms of athletics; the mechanical part is transacted by a staff of officers. Each sport has a girl to take it m charge. She keeps a record of the practices and puts pep into her sport. The Association has a very complicated system of points. For the different sports, various points are received. These points are awarded to the varsity and class teams. A white college sweater with a yellow S is awarded to the girls who have made seven points for three years. The Association holds up a high standard, both in scholastic standing and in sportsmanship. No girl may enter any sport for credit who receives more than two D ' s. 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 losers as well as good winners — these few things are the outstanding thoughts as each girl enters the sport.

This year of 1925-26 promises to be one of the best seasons yet. Although it is early in the seasoii, an unusual amount of interest has already been shown, and more girls than usual have reported for practice. It is expected that the enthusiasm over the game will reach an even higher pitch as the season advances towards the memorable Thanksgiving Dav- it takes a girl who has the real Salem spirit to make a basketball player, because it involves a great deal of self- sacrifice and self-control to come to practice regularly and to keep the strict rules of training. Any girl who is able to do this conscientiously is sure to be a credit to Salem College.

Last year there were only two teams, the Freshmen against the t pper-class- men, but the games were very exciting. First the I ' pper-classmen won. They were sure of the victory. The Freshmen won the sec- ond game. Then came the real honest-to-g.iodness excitement and playing. This was a hard-fought game because it decided the championship. After hard fighting on both sides the Freshmen came out victorious. This year the Freshmen defeated th e L ' pper-classmen in the games in which all the teams showed plenty of pep and interest. All eyes were turned towards Thanksgiving, when the final games were played, and to that night when Salem celebrated her greatest event with a banquet. Last year the Seniors won, but this year in a hard-fought battle with the Juniors and then with the Freshmen, the Sophomores were victorious.

It was begun just last year, but it is by no means rlic infant of the athletic activities. Archery now has its place among the Field Day events. On this great day representatives from each class try to place as many arrows as possible in the bull ' s eye. Last year the Freshmen were the winners, but this year as Sophomores they will have a hard fight to keep the prestige won with much diffi- culty. The competition is always keen on the part of the Freshmen as well as on the part of all other classes. t ' ntil four ears ago track was in the background at Salein. Since then it has been steadil) advancing until now it is on the front row, so to speak. This ear e mean to have it ver much in the fore- ground. Where else would one expect to find a sport with such ardent participation ? Last year Lib Ramsaur jumped four feet and two inches. Ruth Summey hurled a basketball sixty-seven feet and a baseball one hun- dred and twenty-four feet. Gladys English was our Phideppides and the Freshman class won the relay race. This year with so many new girls and so much pep and enthusiasm, Salein bids fair to have a track team of renown. Piu f one liutulrcd sixteen i. oeke y With the final games on Thaiiksgiving Day, the basketball season at Salem closes. This, however, does not mean a vacancy in the athletic calendar, for hockey immediately and efficiently fills this place. For six years this sport has proved a success, and as seven is the perfect nmiiber, surely 1923-26 will be a perfect and enthusi- astic year on the hockey field. As this game requires a large number of players, it is often necessary to combine two classes into one team. This, however, only aids to further rather than retard good sportsmanship and co- operation. Hockey practices are held three afternoons of the week. During the fall and winter months the winds are sharp and any hockey player will admit that under the circumstances it is hard to refrain from alert and ener- getic play. Evidence of this is shown at every practice where each team does its best to develop proficient team- work and accurate play among its members. The hockey season is closed by a banquet given after the final games. At this occasion the loving cup which was presented to the Athletic Association by the faculty in nineteen hundred and twenty-four, is presented to the winning team, emblems and numerals are awarded ; and the hockey .season ends in an appropriate aTul happy man- iier. IlocKi: SuUAD Paijc one liunJrcd sevenlcen TNrMS ArOi There was a time in Salem ' s history when rolling hoojis and playing croquet were considered the most exciting pastimes, but those days have gone forever. A far more thrilling and invigorating game has taken their places, and this game is tennis. This year a large number of girls have entered the class tournaments, and the win- ners of these will compete for the college championship. Two tournaments, a fall and spring one, will be played. Toward the end excitement runs high, for, of course, ev- eryone wishes to win and to ha ' c her name engraxed on the tennis cup. rhSNis Squad Pai e one hundred eighteen Although the pool is in the open, swimming is considered by many of the Salem girls to be an indoor sport as well as an outdoor one. Durijig svvimniijig hours, girls may be seen draped in and out ot the windows in order to get a better view of the swimmers below. This year is going to be the greatest ever for those interested in swimming. For the first time, a swimming meet was held. There were races using the breaststroke, backstroke and sidestroke. Then, too, there was the plunge for those who are short of statue but long of wind. Last, but not least, there was plain and fancy diving. Who knows but that some of these amateurs may become national champions. Whether for pleasure or for duty, let us take part in this sport and we never can tell but that all of us may some day become second Annette Kellermans. JJ ' Ba5 [ aII Baseball is America ' s national sport, and one of the most popular and promising at Salem. In the year 1924.-25 many Freshmen along with iipper- ciassmen added to the growth and development of baseball by their splendid co-operation. Practices were entered into with pep and enthusiasm, and as a result, a thrilling and most interesting game was played between the Freshmen and upperclassmen in the spring of 1925. The final score was 1+ to 18 in favor of the valiant Freshmen. The program for 1925-26 varies from that of the previous year in that there are to be four complete teams instead of only two as was the case last year. Each class will be represented and the race for the coveted first place will no doubt he the keenest contest yet witnessed. With an abundance of material on hand and an unusual amount of interest prospects for baseball in the year 1925-26 are indeed bright. Page one hundred nineteen At Salem hiking is the Alpha and Omega in athletics, for it is the first sport to begin and the last to end. It i-. one of the oldest and most loyally supported sports in the college. And no voiuler! There is nothing more thoroughly satisfying than s vinging do vn the open road at the end of which burns a picnic fire where steaming coffee and crisp brown bacon make the mnuth water. Frequent picnics are a feature of the walking club, for its ideal is not only to get girls out in the open, but to foster a spirit of fun and good fellowship. Each year the enthusiastic walkers increase, for vhat is more exhilar- ating than hiking through the woods on an Autumn day when the brightly colored leaves are falling? Or what can equal a brisk walk on a winter afternoon when the air is just cold enough tn make the hands and faces tingle ? Fifteen hikes is the goal all strive to reach, for it is an honor to be presented with a yellow S. Moreover, a persistent walker may in the course of three }ears earn her twenty-one points in athletics and recei e a Salem sweater, the coveted reward for her perseverance. But more cherished even than the hard-earned numerals and sweater are the memories of hikes where the spirit of comradeship warmed each heart and bound a little closer new girls and old.

Senior Christmas Vespers In harmony with the other manifestations of Christmas is the vesper service con- ducted bv the Seniors in the library. This service is held on the last Sunday before the holidays begin, and it is certainly most beautiful and impressive. Everyone assem- bles around the Christmas tree with its putz showing the stable at Bethlehem, and there by candle light the service is led by Dr. Rondthaler. At the close the Seniors as they sing, give a lighted candle to everyone present as a symbol ot the Light ot the W orld which came with the little Jesus. The Senior Dinner This is a stately and stern affair. But it ' s full. too. of laughter and fun. For the last time the Seniors are together When the studies at Salem are done. Those iiho are to be married Around the table must run. So the first nrt brings sadness and sorrow, Bui the last part — laughter and fun.

The Junior-S enior tTom The Junior-Senior entertainment at Salem ha? s ' H raiiy been in the form of a prom. A great deal of time and thought is spent on preparation for this big event, and great pains are taken in decorating. The upper campus lends itself well to the occasion, and is usuallv agIo«- with bright lanterns. Freshmen, sisters of the Juniors, furnish a special program during the supper. This is indeed one of the greatest events of the year, and certainly the one in which the Juniors and Seniors are most interested. Chapel A half an hour is set aside each morning for worship. Every student is required to attend, and should she not avail herself of this opportunity she has lost a very important and helpful part of her college day. Hat Burning This occasion, typified by a large bon-fire on the upper campus, is symbolic of the discarding of frivolity by the Seniors, and their assumption of dignity. A simple pla} is given which clearly sets forth the meaning; and after the paper caps and capes have been burned, the president of the college awards each Senior with her own black cap and gown which she wears for the remaining months of her college life. Page one hundred t rnty-tzvo i IN5I HT5 , MiM ia-MUi. 1 V -J- Soop fee Tlie Orchestra I ' p until this year the instrumental department ot the music school has presented two orchestra concerts each year; one given by the advanced students, and one by the Junior Orchestra. Since the Junior Orchestra has been discontinued, onl the College Orchestra will present its program in connection with the Commencement Concert. Class Day Senior Class Day on the eve of Commencement is always a joy and pleasure to those who witness it. Immediately following the Alumnae Luncheon, these exercises are held on the back campus. Sometimes there are fairies and elves; at other times, kings and queens, lords and ladies, or even small children. Whatever be the means of presentation, however, the motive always carries with it the idea of the literal meaning of the word Commencement and all that it signifies. The daintiness, artistic colors and costumes and the originality displayed on this occasion serve to magnify its attractiveness and to make its tone more real and earnest. Ivy and Tree Planting Ivy and tree pjanting each year presents some new phase of ceremony, and yet clings to the usual form. These exercises conducted by the Senior Class usually take place in the fall or winter months. On the day set for the occasion the Seniors, Sophomores and marshals wear the miniature Senior class pen- nants, bearing the motto and numerals with an ivy leaf pinned to them. After a few songs and a brief talk at ivy planting, each Senior adds a shovel of dirt around the tree, and these two ever-growing and ever spread- ing plants remain as living memorials to the Senior Class. The Salemite This is the college paper which records alt events at Salem. At the same time, through its editorial columns, it gives sound advice, and through its fun section, gives entertain- ment each week to every member of the stu- dent bod ' . Memorial Hall A hall of music and speeching, A hall of concert and song, A hall of practice and teaching, A busy hall all the day long. Miss Mary Meinung Our Mistress Mary is never contrary, al- though she often pretends to be. But with girls misplacing the library books, and in general upsetting that solemn sanctuary, in- deed Miss Mary has just cause for a little complaint. Does she fuss? No. Who could call those whisperings fussing? As a side issue — and yet a very important one — she has charge of ringing the bell for classes. Page one hundred tivenly-t iree m The ChristTTias Party Santa Claus visits Salem each year at the Christmas party given by the girls to the facultv and the Senior class. On the Saturday evening preceding the holidays everybody gathers around the Christmas tree, and characteristic gifts vith appropriate verses are given to each member of the faculty while the Seniors receive a large basket of fruit. Everyone makes an entire evening of it. too, since there are songs and toasts in the dining room beforehand. Victuals The ' say that our food i; not st iish, But health . substantial and good ; It ' s the kind that all colleges offer; At least — the kind that all should. It furnishes calories and vitamines. It strengthens the body and mind. Variety? — No. only seldom A new thing in store do we find. But with one thing out of all others, On Saturday night we are fed ; A ' hatever may come, or whatever may go We are sure to have sugar bread. The D aisv Chj The daisy, the college flower, is never more in evidence than on commencement morning. Of these bright wild flowers, a large chain is made, which the Seniors carry on their shoulders as they go to their final graduating exercises. After the processional they drop the chain, and thus sever their college ties. The Alumnae Record This publication is sent each month to every subscribing alumna. It is the means for exchange of notes of interest as well as for informing alumnae of the events at Salem. Bishop at Advent Christmas wouldn ' t be Christmas at Salem if IJishop Rondthaler did not give his lovely interpratation of the Christmas stories at the Voung People ' s Meeting hours during the Advent Season. For three consecutive Wednesdays the girls enjoy this rare treat, and after these talks the Christmas season has a new significance and a new glow for every Salem girl.

Blue Ridge Delegation Salem sends from ten to fifteen representatives to the Student Conference at Blue Ridge, North Carolina, each June. As delegates are chosen from the various organizations and classes the effect of the conference is widely felt on the College Campus the following year. Discussion groups, athletics, instructive and interesting lectures give to the girl who goes to Blue Ridge that for vhich i-he ent and that hich makes her time there worth while. Bishop at Easter As during the Christmas season, sd during the Lenten season, Bishop Rondthaler is the speaker at the Voung People ' s Meeting hours on Wednesday mornings. This season of the year so dear to the heart of every Christian, is made even dearer to the listeners who have the oppor- tunity of hearing the Bishop tell the beautiful events of our Lord ' s life during his last days on earth, and then, most vividly, the glorious account of His resurrection on that glad Easter morn. = D lT Pac e one hundred liventy-fi ' ve mm lAM lh5I HT5 jA uiyMikMi MMki Transfer of Caps and Gowns On the Saturday preceding commencement, the Junior and Senior Classes conduct exercises, at which time each Senior lends to a Junior her cap and gown for use during the dav. Great is the rejoicing of the incoming Seniors a- they assume for a short time the symbols of their future dignity; and it is certain that they do not fail to display their borrowed feathers, or in any way fal! short of the dignity thus placed upon them. Senior Christmas Carols On the evening before the Christmas holidays begin, the Seniors, by rain or by moonlight, go around the campus singing Christmas carols. Each Senior carries a candle, and as their singing is heard through the dormitories and in the houses of friends and neighbors of Salem, the Christmas spirit really glows in that small community. Evening Watcli A few minutes each evening are set aside by the girl on every hall for prayer and song. Often the strains of Day Is Dying in the West direct a girl going through the corridor into the room where Watch is being conducted, and there she finds a happy gathering and a service which proves most helpful and appropriate after a day of classes and study. Transfer of Colors and Flowers The out-going Senior Class of the Academy receives from the president of the Senior Class of the College their class colors and flower at the end of the school year. They are presented at the Academy Commencement Exercises, so that their value and significance mi ght be fully appre- ciated by the in-coming Freshmen who are to uphold their name and honor.

When we had learned to pronounce her name, we found her a remarkably fine and clever girl, whose only apparent fault is a propensit) for chewing gum. Elizabeth Christlan winston ' -salem, n . c. A note of affluence is added to the Senior Class by the fact that Elizabeth Christian has a chauffeur at her disposal. In spite of her fashionable clothes and a perfect marcel she joins the hoi poilli with her incessant chatter. AxxE Elizabeth Cooke SALISBURY, N. C. Anne is our professional consoler and there- are few of us whose tears she has not wiped away. Lest you think that her only occu- pation, we call attention to the cool way she goes home each week-end. But that ma be due to the fact that Third Dormitory isn ' t the same place vithout her.

Pai r our littiulrrJ forty-eii il History of tKe Class of ' 26 HAD been writing in my good times book and 1 was now sitting at my desk thinking of those happy memories and day-dreaming a little of what was still to happen, when suddenly, I felt someone pull my hair and I heard a queer little laugh behind me. I turned to see a curious little man with the figure eight on his coat prancing around and inquired who he was. Indeed, have you forgotten your good times in that first year in Salem Acad- emy? he asked, and at that my thoughts flew to that first happy year at Salem. Im- mediately I hastened to write of those joyful days and to tell of our first class elec- tions when three other tiny men appeared, each bearing a number, one-nine, one-ten, one-eleven. In shrill little voices they cried out together: Don ' t forget us! and before I could answer all four sat down in a row and looked up at me with expectant faces. Well, thought I, Now I am in a quandary, but they easily solved my problem by telling me exactly what to write. Therefore if this which the class has asked me to read to you, sounds a bit curious and not exactly like a history you will understand. I am sure that it is not my fault, but that of those funny little men. We chose Miss Stuart as our class teacher for that year, but as she did not return the next fall, we elected Miss Efird. She was such a fine leader and we were all so fond of her that at the end of our Sophomore year we detennined to have her again, if possible. When we returned as Juniors we were greatly relieved to know that she too was returning and that we might again call her ours. All through our Junior year we came to realize more and more what she meant to us and so, as Seniors, we chose her again. Now as we are about to leave her we want her to know that we shall always consider her the most necessary member of the class of ' 26. Having a great deal of pep and wishing to make the purple and white float for- ever, we sent out each year a team for every sport. In these sports, volley ball, soccer, basketball and baseball, we are proud to say that a few members of each team made varsity every year. Sometimes we lost, sometimes we won, but always we did our best, winners or losers, and came back with a smile. Besides having the teams there was always an enthusiastic crowd of spectators who represented the cla.ss and we usually selected a cheer leader to lead them in songs and yells for our side. I am sure the teams will never forget the wonderful banquets which followed the final games in these sports, and none of us will fail to remember how thrilled we were to be allowed sometimes to sit at the winning-team table. It is hard to collect money from girls at boarding school, but the girls of our class have always been willing to co-operate with us and so each year we faithfully did our part in raising money for various causes. Each year we had a different way to make this money. As Freshmen, we tirelessly sold candy ; as Sophomores, we gave wonderful fried chicken suppers; while as Juniors we had both suppers and dances. Our class at all times believed in entertaining. As Freshmen we entertained our sister class, to which we looked vip with the greatest awe, and I know if they enjoyed Paf f one hundred forly-nine the picnic halt as much as we did they had a very good time. Later in the spring we had a masquerade party in the g m, at which we had lots of fun. When we became Sophomores we considered the idea of entertaining ourselves as well as others so we gave each other a picnic at Shaffner ' s farm. Again we decided to have our sister class as guests and this time we gave them what we considered a wonderful party, followed by a dance in Alice Clewell ISuilding. As Juniors we realized that this was the year tor a real entertainment because we were to give the Junior-Senior Banquet. We worked terribly hard getting ready for this, only stopping long enough to have our picnic similar to the one of the year before — this was to encourage us in our work. In the spring our sister class, the Freshmen, gave us a beautiful Japanese party, which we appreciated greatly. At last it was time for our banquet and after the completion of our many preparations, we invited the Seniors to be our guests at the Country Club. Here we had the banquet which for three years we had been looking forward to with so much interest. During our first three years we waited patiently to be Seniors, having heard that they were privileged beings and because of this we looked forward to this year as one in which we would have no work and all play. Needless to say, we have been sadly disappointed in this respect, for we certainly have worked, but yet, who can deny that the numerous parties and entertainments which have been given for us have not afforded us the best times we have ever known. Now, having spent four long happy years together, we come to the close of our last — when we must part and I — At this point I heard a noise and looking up I saw the little man number nine quietly snoring, while eight, ten and eleven were already sound asleep. My, I said, if this is enough to put them to sleep I certainly must stop. F. R. W., ' 26. Page one hundred fifty IN5IC5HT5 , Propnecy COLD winter evening, an open fire, a dozen rosy apples, a six-tube radio set, a good friend who did not continuall scold me for being a radio fan — what could be more enjoyable? Station KDKA, Pittsburgh. The first thing on our program tonight is a piano snio by that noted pianist, Elizabeth Marx. The piece was played vith mar elous technique, but because I am not a lover of classical music, I turned the dials away from it. Station WEAF. New York. next met our ears. Reverend Willian Mims, pastor of the St. John ' s Evangelical Church in this city will talk on The Modern CJirl versus The Ciirl of 1926. I happen to be looking in the Radio Journal at the beginning of this speech and did not listen until a familiar name caught my ear. Reverend Mims was saying: Adelaide Hane , one of my former schoolmates, has vritten a book in Latin, dedicated to Marguerite Da is Bro vn, which the critics sa is far superior to an of Virgil ' s or Horace ' s works. Now this is an example. — sqeek baum — and the station faded. I turned the dials to ' EEI, Boston, and landed in the middle of a speech by Eleanor Wili- ingham on How to Dance the Winston-Salem, a dance which she invented and which is similar to the Charleston of ten years ago. She was saying; When I was in London I saw- Jennie Heiss, that talented dancer, executing the difficult steps of this dance with admirable skill and — Oh, this is boring. Get something else, said m ' friend. I turned the dials once more. Station WOO, Philadelphia. Vou have listened to Mary Stokely, the famous elocutionist, recite the poem, if I Vre Queen, by the poet, Margaret Smith, and before the next number, which vill be a solo entitled, School na s, ' by Frances Mil liken, from the Musical Comedy, ' Salem, ' written and produced by Doris Thomason. I wish to announce that Mary Virginia Dunn has succeeded in swimming the English Channel. Not being particularly interested, I turned to WCiN, Chicago, in time to hear Virginia Pfohl, who has recently returned from her hike around the world, tell of some of her experiences: When I was last in the interior of Africa, Frances Coleman, the best belo ' ed missionary on the Dark Continent, was rescued from the jungle. From Africa I vent to China, where I met Carrie May Stockton, the Cnited States ambassador, who has adopted nine little Chinese orphans. The people in China — Brimm. There is ton much static, said my friend, (.Jet something else and by the way, before you begin, have ou heard that Catherine Miller has been appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court? I ' ll wager she ' ll send a lot of criminals to prison, and Nannie has been elected District Attorney for Guilford Count . How interesting, I said, Do he still. I have something. Station W ' J, Detroit. Selma Cre vs, the famous harpist, will no v pla , The Death of the Flo vers. After an enthrallingly lovely ten minutes, a man began to talk. I turned to Station WLW, Cincinnati, and heard: Mildred Schneider, the noted discoverer, vill tell of some of her experiences. After ten minutes filled with dinosours, ancient Egyption kings, etc, I caught a familiar name. She was saying: I vent over on the ship of vhich Virginia ShafTner is captain and met on board a former schoolmate of mine, Elizabeth Christian, wife of the governor of Wyom- ing, with her six children. She told me an amusing et interesting anecdote vhich helps to prove — Becoming bored, I turned hack to KI KA, Pittsburgh, in time to hear the Hopkins-Lombra orchestra play the Thirteenth Hungarian Rhapsody, composed by Anne Cooke, whom many hail as the second Lizt. However, Hungarian Rhapsodies do not interest me and I turned to Station WG ' , Schenectady, in time to hear Louise Watson, who wrote the New Book of Eti- quette, give a lecture on it. Dear unseen audience, I am going to begin m talk vith an amusing story which helps to prove how necessary good manners are. The other day Rosalie Steele, sheriff of Forsyth County, met Mildred Owens, who owns the largest Coca Cola plant in the country and said to her — OOOOoooOOORRRK bam. The radio is a wonderful invention, said my friend, but let ' s stop for a while and take turns reading aloud this article in the Literary Digest on How It Feels to Be a Modern Old Maid. It should be good; it was written by Rachel Brunson. And for once I assented. A. C, ' 26.

Hit-Pin Baseball The sport itself is a combination ot baseball and nine pins, and tberetoie needs a double amount of energy. The girls came out unusually well, bringing with them this very necessary vim.

It cer- tainly has a kick in it as any one of the players can show ' ou by the bruises of which she was conscious for many weeks. The games this year were played very enthusias- tically. A fine spirit was shown by those who rooted on the sidelines. The varsity received as emblems of their good playing small gold S ' s which as our coach said, stand for Sacrificing Sportsmen who Played Soc- cer with Salem Spirit — the sacrificing is explained by the fact that all of the varsity team kept strict training for two u-ecks before the games. The other words are self-explanatory, and it is hardly necessary to say that we regret that all of us couldn ' t make varsity.

Let it sting you into more enthusiasm for the game, whether you play or whether you stand on the side- lines and yell. Basketball at Salem is the sport of the year, the one in which the majority of the students take an interest and which gets the most hearty- support and co-operation. We hope to have a successful season this year, for the coaches have more material to work with than ever before at Salem, and some of it is very promi- ing. Also we have two ver interested and ardent workers in our coaches Miss eaver and Miss Zachary. We expect hard work from those who go out for basket- ball this season, as well as strict regard for the principles of sportsmanship, and courtesy for our coaches, whom we all love. Basketball T.

There was great curiosity in the Academy on the day that the final tennis game was to be played. Interest had been increasing as the contestants decreased. But, of course, it rained on that very day and the game had to be postponed. When at last the results were announced the whole dining room broke into applause and heartily congratulated the winner. This shows how enthusiastic the contestants and non-contestants were in connection with this all-season sport.

We also hold with Emerson that, ' Tis the good reader that makes the good book, and at the risk of being thought a little too self-satis- fied we beg to state that all of our books have proved excellent. A scholarship standard of B assures our being exclusive, and a leader like Miss Pfohl assures our accomplish- ing something. Page one Jiundred seventy-six CHAPTER 31 5T qTI5TK5 I IN5I 3HT5 , Statistics Is there any word in the vocabulary of ichool life more fraught with excitement and suspense than this word statistics ? For days the dorm- itory and hall will shelter many whispering groups; then the fateful hour of voting comes. The walls of old South Hall re-echo with vigor- ous applause as one by one those girls are chosen, who best represent the qualities which time hon- ored custom dictates for a well-rounded life in Salem Academy or any other school. The Dutch caps which these favored girls donned serve to remind us that each one has the essential qualities of integrity and dependable- ness, which are characteristic of the people in addition to that quality signified by the title vhich she bears. Statistics were particularl ' hard to choose this year, because there are so man ' fine and talented girls in our midst. The honor thus bestowed becomes greater and its responsibilities heavier.

The biggest difference between the really modern home and the home of other days is found in electric service. Electricity, applied through the numerous appliances that have been perfected during recent years, not only ban- ishes drudgery from house work, but it brightens the home, conserves the strength of the housewife, keeps her fresh, gives her more time for recreation and reading and adds pleasant years to her life. Electrical appliances are likewise bringing refinements in the art of living. Electric curling irons, smoothing irons and heating pads are indispensables. Tea kettles, toasters, grills, electric fans, hair dryers, vibrators and other appli- ances are desirable and add much to the comfort and pleas- ure of those who have them. Electricity is the modern Aladdin at the service of everyone. The only difference is you push a button in- stead of rub a lamp.

There is no other from which the golfer can see a vast landscape spread out to the horizon 2.500 feet below. Twelve hundred acres of pla- teau, thrust forth like an outpost from the Blue Ridge Rampart, furnish here the setting for a unique hotel, a cottage colony and a complete program of summer sports — at the point where the Blue Ridge makes its nearest approach to the larger cities of North Carolina.
