UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE SENIORS OF SALEM COLLEGE AT WINSTON-SALEM NORTH CAROLINA tift To CHARLES HENRY HIGGINS Whose keen interest in every progressive college movement is the source of inspiration to all Salem Students, the Senior Class dedicates this volume of Sights and Insights In this volume of Sights and Insights we have attempted to condense life on the campus at Salem, so that as you leave you may carry with you cherished memories of familiar spots and congenial friends. If, in the distant future, the rays of this book of sunshine awaken in your hearts sunny recollections of your Alma Mater, we shall feel that our earnest efforts have not been in vain. HISTORICAL SKETCH OF SALEM In 1772, when the Moravians at Salem, North Carolina, established Salem Female Academy, there was no other school of its type in the South. It was established as a day school to meet the educational needs of the Moravian community; but by 1802 the demand for education in adjacent communities was so great that a boarding department was added. In its beginnings Salem Female Academy was an elementary school. Its curriculum developing with its students, it grew almost imperceptively first into a high school, and then into a college. In 1866 a charter was granted which provided for a collegiate department. So high were the standards of the Salem faculty and trustees, however, that, in spite of the authorization to grant degrees they were not granted until 1890, when the degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred upon seven young women. Since 1910 Salem Academy and Salem College have been maintained as separate institutions, although under the same administrative head and the same trustees. Salem College is now a member of the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Southern States, thus attaining classification as an A class college. This year, 1926-27, marks the one hundred and fifty-fifth year of unbroken progress for Salem College. Her many alumnae retain their loyalty and love for their Alma Mater, whose progress is assured and whose future, by the aid of their co- operation, is sure to be marked by the same steady and wholesome growth that has distinguished her history since colonial days.

Occasionally a class is blessed with having a girl who is capable and talented; original; willing to work; a born leader with definite executive ability. Our class is so blessed.

Put her on the basket- ball court and she is lightning itself (without the thunder. she ' s too quiet) ; seat her at the piano and she can perform the music of the masters; or give her an experiment in the chemistry lab., and shell usually get the cor- rect conclusion.

She is a true Senior when it comes to basketball — she plays like a profes- sional in any position — but she is evidently not very dependent on her own classmates for her friend ! Lucille Carroll WILSON, N. C. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Le Cercle Francais ' 23- ' 24 ; History Club ' 23- 24; Hikers ' 23- ' 24. Coming to us at the end of her Sophomore year, Lucille soon made friends of us all. She is quiet and unobtrusive, but she is con- scientious and a steady worker. Bessie Reine Clark LEAKSVILLE, N. C. Candidate for Bachelor of Music Senior Marshal ' 24- ' 25; Undergraduate Representative ' 25- ' 26; Treasurer of Class ' 25- ' 26; Secretary of Class ' 26- ' 27; Student Council ' 23- ' 27; Hikers ' 23- ' 24; I R.

Just exactly what Bessie would do without Margaret we can not imagine, for these Music-Senior room-mates are always to- gether. Bessie ' s place in statistics shows what we think of her looks, but let us just add that she would be a dandy model for a Pepsodent advertisement. Louise Elizabeth Culler KERXERSVILLE, X. C. Candidate for Bachelor of Science Treasurer of Home Economics Club 25- ' 26; Home Economics Club ' 23- 27; Hikers ' 25- ' 26; Senior Mar- shal ' 24- ' 2S; I K S.

How she manages to com- mute from Kernersville each day is more than most of us can fathom; but she does it — and the extra wear on her strength certainly has not been detrimental to her good disposition. From the numerous and varied courses here at Salem, Louise has chosen as her favorite the ' Budget System. She believes in part- nership! Flora Nesbit Eborn WASHINGTON, X. C. Candidate for Bachelor of Music Fire Department 25- 27 : Historv Club ' 23- ' 25; V. W. C. A. Cabinet ' 23- ' 27; Hikers ' 23- ' 24; Wearer of S. Quiet as a mouse, she entered the Fresh man year. Slowly she has worked her way through the courses, practising the difficult things, overcoming the difficult things, play- ing her own accompaniment. Yet with all this quietness she makes her impression. The only difference between Flora and a mouse is that a mouse moves quickly. _ Thelma Hastings Firey WIXSTON-SALEM, N. C.

Contrary as can be is Firey, and she ' ll take the opposite side of any question any day. And that walk! We don ' t know what it indicates, but we dare anyone to trv to keep pace with her when she ' s in a hurry. Mi non Anna ForJham WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.

The Senior Class votes unanimously that Mignon receive the honorary degree of S. W. (Salem Walker) from the Athletic Council.

Monday, Tues- day s Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Satur- day, and Sunday — Virginia eating and still hungrv! A quizz on Bacteriology: and a night ' s study and worrying for Virginia.

Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Salemite Staff T 25- ' 27; Le Cercle Francais ' 2?- ' 2fi; History Club 25-27; Mathematics Club ' 25-27. Since Lucile has not been right with us all the year, we don ' t know her as well as we ' d like to. Xevertheless, the class in Edu- cation 5-6 will certify that she is better pre- pared to graduate than the rest of us. Why? Simply because she already knows quite a a good deal about teaching High School Eng- lish. She may be another Miss Mary some dav; who knows? M Margaret Hartsell CONCORD, N. C.

Just look how much actual labor it lifts from her own shoulders! They say such ability is the test of a good executive, so Margaret is an able leader of a Y, W. C. A. She can always see the funny side to a question, and is the best kind of company. Elizabeth Hastings WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.

It ' s one thing to crab for your- self and another to crab for your College: Lib does the latter and we ' re glad for it. The poor girl has had many jobs thrust upon her, but she won ' t let anything be put over on Hepsy — she ' s proved this as the best Business Manager The Salemite has ever had.

She is always smiling, sewing, or sleeping — of course, she eats oc- casionally but she is usually dieting. Wher- ever there is excitement you will find Fats for, to quote her, she hates to ' miss a trick. The fact that she uses her facial muscles so much when she talks accounts for her good complexion; and her classmates are be- ginning to fear that the skin you love to touch will be wrinkled with over-exercise before many vears.

Well, that ' s no word for it! ' Frank ' studies and practices continually, and never has time for anything else. Still she worries for fear she will make a mistake at her piano lesson. Perhaps we can learn conscientiousness from Frank, but we ad- vise her not to take things quite so seriously. Elizabeth Courtney Lumpkin WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.

When walking she has the twist of authority, and when speaking she has no fear of expressing her own opinion. We guess she ' s a rather force- ful creature after all!

They say that one person can ' t be in two places at once; but if she ' s big enough, why not? There are mighty few things happening on Salem ' s campus about which Lardner does not know every detail — and at least the bare facts. Speaking of sunshine: well, she can bring it and she ' s dandy company. Just don ' t give her too much to do when she makes her debut on the basketball court — she ' s too perturbed to concentrate. Besides she must have time to rest; she is such a delicate little Salem girl, you know; the kind that must drink a quart of milk every day!

From all outward appearances we will have a covered swimming pool be- fore long, for Rachel is backing the enter- prise; and what Rachel backs is usually a success. Is she gloomy?

SEN IOR GROUP Page forty-eight Class Poem DEAR SALEM, our gratitude ever For service in years now long past ; To souls that were striving to live well Came goal high and purpose steadfast. Through windows of mind and of spirit, Through hallways of conscience and heart, Shone clearly the light of true living; Ideals which thou didst imparl. Rays bright of life ' s sunshine and gladness, Life ' s shadows of struggle and ill Have shown to the daughters of Salem The worth of high hope and strong will. They learned, they have grown and been strengthened For paths that on earth they have trod. Thus thou, Alma Mater, prepared them To dwell in the temple of God. Page forty-nine OUR CLASS PRESIDENTS Marion Neely Ruth Piatt Jennie Wolfe Freshman Sophomore Ju nior Ruth Pfohl Senior History of Class of ' 27 FLOOD of glorious sunshine streamed down on Salem College, making brighter the halls and class rooms of the buildings and the campus around, on that eleventh day of September, nineteen twenty-three. What ap- peared to be warm little sunbeams on closer inspection revealed themselves ■ to be the smiles on the happy faces of one hundred and eight freshmen, eager to take up their work in a new kind of world. As the weeks passed the sunnj smiles of some were veiled by cloudy frowns which bespoke their sinking feelings that were hidden deep down in their hearts, and occasionally there were showers. But how could all this last long when everyone did so much to bring back the sunshine into the smiles so that it might remain there always. Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler entertained at a reception. The Student Council gave a baby party ; and was it not natural that babies should smile? Then the Juniors did their part by giving a dance. Who could be solemn at a dance? And so, the one hundred and eight freshmen were started out right on the sunshiny path of happiness which led to knowledge. They studied hard, and entered into all the activities of the college enthusiastically. The next year when they returned from a vacation full of sunshine and good times they brought some back with them. They knew almost everything because they had studied so hard when they were freshmen. Your sophomore year is your hardest, was the warning they received from all sides. Again brows grew dark and ominous and noses were thrust into books (whenever anyone was around to mark the action). It also behooved the hold, bad sophomores to make the lives of the freshmen sunnier. This they accomplished, and went on their way. In May they entertained their sister class, the seniors, at a picnic, and brought the year to a successful close. As juniors they had so much to look forward to that they did not even have time to frown. They were fewer in number, but their smiles were none the less bright, and ! a„e fifty they W erc not to be outshone. They entertained the freshmen, now a sister class, at a dance in the Hut. Their life after this was a round of dances, sandwiches, and cold drinks, as they strove to make money for the Junior-Senior Banquet. When the seniors presented them with their caps and gowns they were indeed happy. And then the senior year! The sunshine in their hearts just would not be hidden, except when they marched down the aisle of Memorial Hall to sit on top of the world, as it were. Then they alone will ever know whether it was dignity or fear which kept them from smiling. It was a joy to them to have their caps and gowns formally presented at Hat- Burning, to plant ivy, to hold Senior Vespers, and to instil in the hearts of the incoming girls the happiness which they themselves had found at Salem, and the love which lay beneath this happiness. And now with hearts ever light, and faces smiling they looked eagerly toward the goal of the future. Page fifty-one Prophecy of Class of ' 27 The warmth of the fireside was a cheerful contrast to the dull and dreary out-of- doors. A slight drizzle beat against the window panes with the monotonous ceaselessness so characteristic of autumn days. The warmth of the fire and the sound of the rain formed a resistless combination, so that I soon found myself drowsing in my easy chair before the fire. Into my half-conscious mind there crept thoughts of school days spent at Salem, of classmates, and of events that occurred during our four years there together. The desire to be once again a school girl, strolling nonchalantly across the square to Welfare ' s, was strong, and as I dreamed in the firelight, I thought of my classmates and of what had become of them. W e always were an independent group, utterly self-sufficient, and eager to be individualistic and original. Therefore, the majority of my classmates became profes- sional women, while very few of them married. We always thought Lucile Hart would be a professional woman ; she was so capable about her school work. She was, however, one of the first of our class to marry, and is living in Chattanooga. Lucile is a diligent housekeeper, and I have heard that she and her husband are very happy. Lucile Carroll is another who has marrie d. Her husband is an electrical engineer, so they travel about the country most of the time. Soon after graduation, Ruth Pfohl joined the Westminster Choir and has sung with them in most of the leading cities of the world. Her reputation is well known in choir circles, and people flock to hear her sing. She also has an enviable reputation as an artist ' s model, having posed for several famous paintings of the Madonna. Bessie Clark and Margaret Hartsell have a fascinating apartment in Greenwich Village. It is the central meeting place for a group of young musicians who are fast becoming famous. Margaret specializes in concert work, while Bessie is a composer belonging to the modern school. Her work is entirely futuristic and minor and all that new sort of thing. Bessie and Margaret both say that they are practicing harder now than they ever did during their days at Salem. Speaking of apartments, Ruth Perkins has one in Paris. She has been over there studying art for the past three years. Her talent, that showed up so well in Sights and Insights, has developed a great deal, and Ruth is considered one of the most promising of the younger American artists. Many critics say that her oil paintings are worthy of being hung in the Luxemburg in Paris. Only three of our class have become teachers. Mildred Mocmaw is teaching home economics in a high school in Tennessee. She has recently published a book on the value of Home Economics to a High School Student. Man- Buckner is teaching physical education in a fashionable young ladies ' school in New England. Her spe- cialty is. of course, basketball, which she coaches during her spare time. Flora Eborn is supervising the teaching of Public School Music in the graded schools of Chicago. After leaving Salem she taught music for a few years, and finally accepted this respon- sible position in Chicago. It is hard to keep in touch with some members of the class. Their work is such that they are constantly traveling about to various parts of the earth. Elizabeth Lumpkin is president of a research society, and at present is in Tibet, studying the natives, of that country, their habits and customs. Mignon Fordham is a buyer for the American Tobacco Company. She has visited nearly all the countries where tobacco is grown, and has had many varied experiences. Her headquarters are in Constanti- nople. Laura Thomas, whose specialty at Salem was science, has become the head chemist at the laboratory maintained in New York by the Federal Narcotic Squad. Her work is concerned mainly with analysis, and she is known as an expert in this line. Dorothy Siewers, who is a journalist in New York, says that she likes to talk Page fifty-tvo to Laura about her work because she knows so many thrilling and interesting tales. Dot is writing short stories during her spare time. She already has had several pub- lished, and is planning to leave the journalistic field soon. Rachel Phillips and Elizaheth Hastings are the joint owners and directors of a summer camp for girls in the Adirondacks. They have made a great success of their camp and have enrolled each year many of the wealthiest children in the United States. The B. S. training received at Salem has helped several of my class to find their life work. Marion Neely is dietitian in a large hospital for children. Virginia Griffin is proprietress of a tea room with which is combined a gift shop. Louise Culler is an interior decorator and has a smart office in Washington. She specializes in antiques, and is an authority on the subject. Recently she furnished a house in Washington for a society leader who used to be Elizabeth Transou. Ever since her marriage Lib has taken a leading part in Washington society. Minnie Price is a financier. She became interested in stocks and bonds soon after graduating, and is now a financial magnate. A. P. Shaffner turned to politics after leaving school. She has already held several responsible government positions, and is in line for rapid advancement. Thelma Firey is traffic director of the city of Boston. She learned the rules of the game while driving her Buick around Winston-Salem and has already solved some of the greatest traffic problems. Isabel Wenhold is a dramatist. As a side line she writes poetry but drama is her choice. Frances Jarratt is a composer. Together, Isabel and Frank have composed a musical comedy which will soon be produced in New York. Rehearsals are under way now. Miss Ruth Piatt is to have the leading dancing role, and Miss Jane Elizabeth Hobgood, the comic one. Ruth has an international reputation as a dancer, and — I ask you if Fats isn ' t about the most comical girl you ever saw! She has several comic roles, and is well known as a good comedienne. Jennie Wolfe and Sara Bell are conducting tours through Europe. They per- sonally supervise every trip, and are most enthusiastic about their work. I seem to be the only member of the class who has amounted to nothing. Perhaps some day I shall ; but not until after I finish resting up from those four strenuous years spent at Salem.

Vaye sixty-three easons o f Sunsl unsnme FIRST SEASON JUNE clear, sunny day in early September of the year 1924, Old Salem welcomed into her big, happy family, one hundred and forty-eight strang- ers, the future class of ' 28. We felt very small and ignorant, that first day, and perhaps even a little frightened, but our faces shone with happi- ness, and our hearts were swelled with pride ; for, were we not real college freshmen? Probation seemed a little hard at first, but the chaperones were so obliging and seemed so anxious to serve us that we could not feel sad for very long. Besides, there were all sorts of affairs arranged for our entertainment, parties, picnics, and many other pleasant things. Before Thanksgiving, because of our good behaviour, probation was lifted, the Council giving us a party to celebrate. Thanksgiving Day was a great occasion to which we looked forward for many weeks. We had high hopes of winning the Welfare cup at basketball, but the sophomores defeated us, and were in turn overcome by the seniors. The day culminated in its crowning event, the banquet which is a bright memory for all of us. Christmas vacation was the next ray of sunshine, and after that, we experienced a short period of terror and gloom — exam week. That ordeal over, we emerged into the sunlight again, and for the rest of the year, our days were filled with alternating periods of work and play. SECOND SEASON Sophomores ! Could it be true ? Yes, for we were being welcomed back to Salem as old girls, and behind us was one whole year of experience. We very soon learned to walk around with the casual air of upper-classmen, and looked down on the new girls with a feeling of infinite superiority. We felt a little self-conscious at first, es- pecially when in chapel we took the side benches instead of those in the centre. We soon settled down to the task of being sophomores in earnest, and to the responsibilities which that position involved. The brightest memory of this year centres around Thanksgiving Day basketball games ; for, this time we won the victory and the cup was ours. We had a share, this year, in the beautiful and impressive ceremony of senior hat-burning, which none of us can ever forget. THIRD SEASON Junior days, though sunny still, bring heavier responsibilities and a more serious attitude toward college life. We feel a new dignity and prestige, and our place in college activities assumes greater importance than ever before, for we must look for- ward to being the future leaders in those activities. Then too, this year brings the junior-senior banquet, and we are to be hostesses. With our thoughts and efforts concentrated on this great event, we are hard at work, for it must be a success. As the term draws to a close, another great occasion stands out. The senio rs are passing on, and as they go, they hand down to us their high position, their dignity, their in- fluence, and — which seems not the least important — their caps and gowns, junior days are by.sy days, but they are sunny, happy days as well. College life brings its light and its shadows, its sunshine, its tears. We like to forget the sadness which every season must bring, and let our memories dwell only on the brightest experiences. For our class the bright memories are very many, and, like the old sun-dial, we count only the hours that shine.

Back campus was a scene of great merriment, for Salem was having a picnic, and a Salem picnic, as we all know, is a delightful affair. The lights gleamed on the white dresses of a line of girls, who marched singing, and formed, one by one, the letters S-A-L-E-M. Who are the ones who march so well and sing so beautifully? asked the Tallest Poplar, which stands beside the path. Why, they are the Sophomores, said the Littlest Poplar, and I think that their stunt will win the prize. The Littlest Poplar spoke truly, for the Sophomores did win the prize, and received as reward an enormous box of lollypops. Oh, the Sophomores, said the Tallest Poplar. They won the Volley Ball tour- nament last year. They were not successful in the Thanksgiving Basketball game, but they put up a good fight — and that ' s something. The Tallest Poplar is fond of athletics and always has the latest sport news, probably received from the birds. What are you two talking about? rustled the Elm, which stands near the tennis-courts and can see almost everything that happens. The Sophomores, answered the Tallest Poplar. Do you know who they are? Of course I do, said the Elm. I know all about them. They were very good Freshmen, though green, and they are better Sophomores, though knowing. I know the Sophomores too, said a little Maple timidly. Do you see those girls coming up the path? One of them is Lillyan Newell, she was their class president last year. The one with her is Margaret Hauser, who is their president this year. Yes, I know them both, said the Tallest Poplar. Everyone knows the Sophomores. The picnic was over. The lights were turned out, and the trees on the campus were left to rustle unheard.

Leonora Wilder galveston, tex. r Page eighty-four History of the Freshman Class N SEPTEMBER 15, 1926, one hundred and fifty-one freshmen from various sections of the United States entered Salem College. With them came the usual spirit and pep of girls just out of preparatory or high schools. But the great questions were: What is college like? Is it very different from high school? Will we have to work hard? And it is cer- tain that the freshmen soon found out what they wished to know! Of course, the surroundings and people were all new to most of the girls, but Salem is such a wonderful place that it requires only a short time to become adapted to everything here. Within the course of a week or two the freshmen became a part of the Salem Family, and a great addition (in numbers) they were to that body. Freshman Week consisted of songs on the terrace every night ; parties given by the Freshman Week Committee, Y. W. C. A., and Sophomores; a picnic supper given by the Seniors, and an automobile ride around Winston-Salem. This week of festiv- ities kept the green, young freshies from becoming homesick at the beginning of their college career. The sophomores compelled each freshman to wear a green ribbon around her neck and to pin her name and where she hailed from on her dress. No front doors of the buildings could be used, for the upper-classmen were always on the lookout to punish those who disobeyed this law. All this was much fun, and the freshmen were good sports about it. At Salem, freshmen are on probation from the beginning of the session as long as the Council deems necessary. For the class of 1930, probation lasted until Novem- ber 22, at 10:00 P. M., at which time the Student Council gave a party to announce that the freshmen had all of their privileges. There was much rejoicing, especially among the Seniors and council members who had been so faithful about taking their charges to town and church. The freshmen boasted of having the second best basketball team. They even played in the finals, but not being able to defeat their sisters, the juniors, they lost very gracefully. Soon after Thanksgiving the following class officers were elected : President — Virginia Martin Vice-President — Margaret Sells Secretary — Athena Campourakis Treasurer — Grace Martin Historian — Carrie Hibbler Jones Class Teacher — Miss Pfohl The class of 1930 is ever loyal to Salem and to the Purple and White.

The purpose of the forum is to discuss all questions which are of vital importance to the college as a whole. The Presidents ' Forum consists of the heads of the following organizations: President of Salem College as honorary memher, President of Student Government, President of Y. W. C. A., President of Athletic Association, Under-graduate Repre- sentative, President of I. R. S., Editor of Sights and Insights, Editor of Salemite, President of History Club, President of Le Cercle Francais, President of Societas Scientiarum Salemensis, President of the Home Economics Club, President of the Pierrette Players, President of Senior Class, President of the Junior Class, President of Sophomore Class, President of Freshman Class, Fire Chief, Song Leader, President of Mathematics Club, and President of the MacDowell Club.

The purpose of the organization is to develop self-control in the students, and to instill in them the highest principles of honor and self-development. It is formed upon comradeship in its genuine form. loyalty in every phase of college life, and aspirations to a higher and greater goal. Having these upon which to build, the association is now attempting to achieve by a co-operative spirit, that which even institution sets forth as an ideal — a pure Honor System. A great step has been made this year at Salem by the off-campus students becoming members of the association, thus realizing more fully the goal of a co-operative spirit throughout the college. The executive powers of the organization are embodied in two Student Councils; one consisting of off-campus students and the other of on-campus students. These two Councils work separately in matters peculiar to each, but together they work in a joint Council to consider questions relating to student life as a whole, and to act upon serious problems referred to them by either of the Councils. The On-Campus Council is composed of the president, nvo vice-presidents, and four representatives from the Senior Class; the secretary, and treasurer, and three rep- resentatives from the Junior Class; and from the Sophomore and Freshman Classes there are three representatives each. The house-presidents serve as members of the Council, and the president of the Y. W. C. A. is an honorary member. The Off-Campus Council consists of a president, two vice-presidents, a secretary and treasurer; two representatives from the Senior Class, two from the Junior Class, nvo from the Sophomore, and two from the Freshman Class.

President Virginia Martin Freshman President I Represent Salem is a significant slogan for an organization initiated for the purpose of increasing loyalty and fidelity to the college. This movement was started five years ago at Salem, and includes the entire student body in its membership. To represent Salem means to do so in appearances, conduct, morals and social usage; thus showing respect for its highest ideals and standards. This organization is also known as Social Forum, and such it has truly grown to be through the earnest efforts of Miss Stipe. She has encouraged the presentation of attractive programs of social usages, and has offered valuable aid in carrying out the fundamental purpose and ideals of I. R. S. Each year girls from the four college classes have been elected to a committee which functions as an executive board of the organization. These girls strive to live up to the ideals of Social Forum, and to act as an influence to other members of the student body to be daughters of whom Salem may well be proud. Ptuje ninety-three Young, Women ' s Christian Association Officers Margaret Hartsell President Mildred Moohaw Vice-President Eliza Hill Grimes Vndergraduate Representative Elizabeth Roper Secretary Margaret H auser Treasurer All members of the Student Body and of the College Faculty are members of the oung Women ' s Christian Association. This organization reaches every person on the campus in various ways, and desires to help each one from the very beginning of the school term to the close of the collegiate rear. hen school opens in September, the Cabinet girls meet all trains and extend a welcome to both new and old girls. This year the Y girls wore blue dresses and triangle arm bands, and were affectionately known as the girls in blue. The Cabinet holds weekly meetings and the association ' s meetings are vesper services each Sunday afternoon at six o ' clock in the living room of the Alice Clewell Building. These services consist of hymns, readings or talks, devotionals, and special music, which is a major part of these inspiring meetings. At intervals, during the col- lege year, organ recitals are given under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. At this type of service, all lights, except the organ light, are extinguished, and the effect is very beautiful. Evening watch is held on each floor of the dormitories even night except Saturday and Sunday. Watch, which begins at the close of study hour, is devoted to singing and prayer, and is a fitting close for the day. The social service committee of the Y has been very active this year. Twice a month, representatives from the association go to the Salem Home and to the Or- phanage. At Christmas time boxes of toys and clothing are sent to mountain schools and to the orphanages of the city. The college association cooperates with the Y. W. C. A. of Winston-Salem, by taking part in its activities, such as teaching the industrial girls at the night schools. The looks after the social life at school by giving teas and parties throughout the year. I ea is served every afternoon during examination week. Last but not least there is the Y store where girls may come after a long study hour to get candies, cakes, and other good things to eat. This has proved to be a very popular place.

The purposes of this club are to have a social organization of all those interested in Home Economics, and to establish a practice house in place of the inadequate apartment now being used by the Home Economics Seniors each year; for a period of six weeks. This organization now has a membership of seventy-five from the student body and faculty, which is the first requirement for membership in the State -Association. The programs are interesting and instructive. The meetings which are held twice each month consist of addresses by those who are authorities on questions con- cerning the household. Sometimes a social hour takes the place of the customary meeting. Page ninety-eiijlit History Club Virginia Welch President Kathemne Taylor Secretary and Treasurer Elizabeth Lumpkin Chairman of Program Committee Who wants to know what the History Club is, and what it does? It is a club which was organized four years ago for the benefit of all those girls who would take a genuine interest in the meetings. In previous years it has been customary to secure out of town speakers who have given the club members vivid pictures of their travels in Egypt, Russia, India, and even in the jungles of Africa. This year in one-half of the meetings there will be prominent speakers and in the other meetings every student will take part. There will be contests which will greatly improve the historical and geographical knowledge of all those members and visitors who will attend. The mem- bership is open to all college students. Come and make the history of the History Club for this vear better than it has ever been before. Page ninety-nine Pierrette Plavers Elizabeth Hastings President Ruth Pfohl Vice-President Doris Walstox Secretary Anna Pauline Shaffner ... Treasurer Lardner McCartv Business Manager Susan Luckenbach Stage Manager The Pierrette Players was organized two years ago with a double purpose in view — to make the club entertaining as well as educational. Because of its two-fold aim. and because of its membership limitations, it is indeed an honor to be a Player. Meetings are held the first and third Thursdays of each month, at which time a program of varied interest is presented. Famous plays are read and discussed, and brief one-act plays are often acted by members of the club. During the school year, plays are presented to the public in Memorial Hall, and members are given the op- portunity to coach in their own play. Those students who are particularly interested in dramatics are given the chance to try-out. and those who display the best dramatic ability are asked to join the Pla Vers. Students interested in writing plays are also encouraged, and if their work proves satisfactory, are asked to join. Page one hundred Societas Scientiarum Salemensis Laura Thomas President Mildred Moomaw Secretary and Treasurer EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Margaret Hoi. brook, Chairman Sarah Dowling Elizabeth Dowling The Societas Scientiarum Salemensis, the society of the sciences at Salem, was or- ganized in September, 1924, by a group of students interested specifically in science. The constitution of the organization says that the general object of this society shall be to unite all students of science in concerted action for the advancement of scientific knovvledge. The active membership is limited to twenty-four members. Each person, to become a member, must have passed two courses in science, and must pursue a scientific subject throughout her college course. It is considered an honor to be able to obtain and retain membership in this organization. The meetings are held bi-monthly at which time the members present something of scientific interest in the way of demonstrations and lectures. During the year several trips are taken to places of interest in and around the city. Page one hundred one The MacDowell Club Miss Hall President Dorothy Fraizer Secretary Eliza Hill Grimes Treasurer Lardner McCarty Senior Representative Elizabeth Sifferd Junior Representative Mary Miller Falkener Sophomore Representative Elizabeth Dewey Freshman Representative Miss Willis Faculty Representative Miss Fowler Music Faculty Representative Mr. Higgins Faculty Adviser The MacDowell Club has as its purpose wholesome entertainment for the college community. Since its organization at Salem in 1919 the club has endeavored to pro- mote programs of a social and cultural nature which should not be unworthy of the man for whom the club was named — Edward MacDowell, the greatest of American composers. At one time Mrs. MacDowell presented an interesting program of her husband ' s compositions. Other types of entertainment, including scenes from famous novels, community singings, picnics and readings have been sponsored by the club. Since the purchase of a moving picture machine in 1922 most of the entertainments have been Movies. However the club has presented other programs of a more cul- tural value. Through co-operation with the Pierrette Players a number of interesting plays have been staged. Other programs of a varied nature have been successfully presented from time to time. Page one hundred two Fire Department Fire Chief, Lardner McCarty Although the Fire Department is one of the least used organizations at Salem, yet it is one of the most efficient. Only once during the past year did the department have an opportunity for doing active service during a real fire. One day last spring, the Science building caught on fire. Among the students there was an immediate rush to reach the scene of the conflagration. The result was that some girls got so close to the burning building that they endangered their lives as well as hindered the efforts of the City firemen who already had the fire under control. The members of the Salem fire department kept curious girls from coming too close to the building, pro- cured extra fire extinguishers from other buildings, and by forming a line, helped to save valuable pamphlets and bo oks. Co-operation is the keyword of this organization. It expects, and receives, the co- operation and enthusiastic support of every college student. Rules governing fire drills are strict and inviolable. A fine is imposed upon those students who carelessly or wilfully neglect to attend drills. The working force of the fire department is com- posed of one chief, thirteen captains, and thirteen first lieutenants. These girls are chosen from the student body and are held responsible for the conduct of students during fire drills. Page one hundred three Le Cercle Franeais Ruth Piatt President Letitia Cl ' RRIe Vice-President Rachel Phillips Secretary and Treasurer With the manifold purposes of developing fluency in speaking French, and pro- moting a greater familiarity with the literature of France, Le Cercle Franeais was organized several years ago. The students who are eligible for membership in this club are those who are majoring in the French language, underclassmen who are admitted according to their proficiency in the study, faculty members interested in French, and teachers in the modern language department. The club holds its regular meeting the second Wednesday of each month in the living room of Alice Clewell Building. The programs each year have become more interesting and more diversified in subject as the club has developed. The most important figures in French literature are discussed at each meeting. The members learn something of the life, the character, and the works of these men in the talks which are made in French by some of the students. Each student participates in the program at least once a year. Aside from the regular program, the members answer the roll with proverbs in French or with quotations from French literature, songs are sung and poems are recited. At some meetings dramatizations of well known plays lend variety and entertainment to the program. Through the constant endeavor of the members under the greatly appreciated guid- ance of the faculty members of the Foreign Language Department and through the hearty co-operation of each member, the standards of the club are being improved and developed.

Every effort is being made to make this a permanent organization, to increase those standards of the club which will produce an all-round development in the social and intellectual life of Salem. The well-attended monthly meetings, which include interesting outside speakers as well as practical demonstrations of applied mathematics, portray the loyal Salem spirit.

The personnel of the Club is made up of those taking some phase of the music course, but anyone who wishes may become a member. The Christmas Carol Concert, which is a free performance and one open to the public, is an established custom at Salem. This year the concert was made doubly effective by the wearing of white vestments. Soon after the beginning of the second semester work is begun on an operetta to be presented in the Spring. This year The Castaway, a comedy with its scene laid in the South Sea Isles, has been chosen.

The girls have always shown more interest in basketball than in any other of the many sports. This year enthusiasm has been unusually high which is an excellent indication that the games on Thanksgiving will be faster and peppier than ever before. Training was started at an early date and the plavers have shown an admirable spirit of co-operation by keeping all of the rules faithfully. We feel that we have been unusually fortunate in securing Mr. Harry Long for our head coach. His thorough understanding of the game enables him to develop many technical points which add greatly to the beauty of the playing. The wonderful spirit of the players combined with the splendid coaching of Mr. Long are making this season of basketball the most successful one that Salem has ever known.

The game is played in the fall when it is too cold to play baseball or hockey, and when the air is just invigorating enough to have a game full of pep and action. During the last two years there have been only two teams, the Freshmen against the Upper-Classmen, but both years the games were very exciting. Last year the Freshmen won the first of the three final games which were to be played. The Upper- Classmen won the second. Then came a most exciting game in which both teams showed the results of skillful training and hard practice. Unfortunately, however, for the Upper-Classmen, the Freshmen were victorious. Although volley ball is a young sport compared with the other sports at Salem, it is growing by leaps and bounds. Here ' s to a bigger and better volley ball season this year! Page fine hundred eighteen Tennis is one of the most popular of American sports, and is certainly prominent at Salem. It is a game that every girl may enter and enjoy, for though it is exciting enough to make us forget our cares and worries, it is not too strenuous. This year many of the girls are taking advantage of the tennis classes which are held twice a week, and are improving their technique and form. Although there is no fall tournament there is a great deal of enthusiasm for the opening of the one to he held in the spring. A large number of girls have entered the class tournaments and the winners of these will compete for the college championship. There is always a great deal of excite- ment toward the end, to see who will be the winner — and with the many girls who practice every day, there will be sufficient competition for any champion. 1 1 1 ■ J- |jM • - - -J - WM k wT iM i -. ' f m. HM B Eg fcr - ' — Page one hundred nineteen H EK Although archery is not considered a major sport at Salem, it is one in which much interest is manifested. The rivalry between the four classes is always keen, and the final struggle for the archen supremacy is one of the big events at Field Dav. Last year Rachel Phillips won the championship, but this year she will have to defend her title better than Jack Dempsey defended his if she wishes to be hailed again as our chief Diana! zrm Track and baseball are the sister sports of the springtime, and they are as invigorat- ing as a tonic. Track has become such a popular sport that it is hardly thought of as a minor one. Each year finds it playing a greater part in the athletic activities of the school. Last spring was the fifth great year of track at Salem. Ev erybody was enthus- iastic about practices and full of pep. for all eyes were set on Field Day when the Salem Nurmi was to make herself known. Field Day came on May the third, and every girl was out on the field determined to be the high point scorer of the day. Then too. was not this the time of all times to win those few points that were lacking for an S or for a Salem sweater? Lib Ramsaur was the star of the meet, but her runner-ups were only a little behind her. Ramsaur will have to hustle to hold her place for there is a real spirit of competition this year with the new girls, the new apparatus, and the new athletic directors. On your mark! Get set! Let ' s go! for the best year ever of track at Salem! Page one hundred tvsent} Swimming is one of the sports at Salem College which everyone enjoys. We regret that the pool is not enclosed so swimming cannot be an all year-round sport. Late into the fall, and in the very early spring, however, the girls take advantage of the lovely pool. This year has started out with much enthusiasm and great interest in the swim- ming activities, and we hope to make it the best year in the history of swimming. A contest for distance swimming is held in the fall, and an enthusiastic meet is held in the spring, with fancy diving, plunge for distance, and the fifty and hundred yard dashes. We are in hope that some of Salem College amateurs might derive inspiration from the swimming here, and enter the very collegiate contest of swimming the English Channel. mm BZOJ In the spring the young girl ' s fancy seriously turns to baseball. Every afternoon from four until five the baseball diamond is full of girls, all vieing for the honor of becoming a second Babe Ruth or a second Walter Johnson. Every girl is busy and who wouldn ' t be busy when Mr. Harry Long is busily coaching them in the ethics of the game. Last year there were only two teams but this year there are certainly going to be four teams and each class will be represented. Baseball is a fine sport, a good way of working off surplus energy and surplus avoirdupois. Everybody come out, get up a good appetite for the picnic supper that follows the game and who knows but that some girl may startle the world with her ability as a baseball player, even more so than Babe Ruth? Page one hundred twenty-one WKM l £ T J . With the change in the point system this year, hockey has been made one of the three major sports. The season begins as soon as the basketball season closes, at Thanks- giving. It is the winter sport which requires lots of pep and energy to keep warm. Hockey requires more players than any other sport. On account of this, more girls are given the chance to make the team and thereby get points. We feel sure that there will be many out from each class because even- girl wants to win enough points to get a blanket. Last season a banquet was given, at the close of the season, for the plavers. At that time, a loving cup was given to the Athletic Association by the Faculty of 1924. This season will be the eighth one for hockey at Salem. We feel sure that with the co-operation of every class, this year will be our most enthusiastic and successful one. Page one hundred ti enty-tvro um Everyone should hike. It is an ideal sport. It requires no skill or practice, for if you are able to put one foot before the other in rapid succession you are a natural- born hiker, and the thing for you to do is to join the Salem Hiking Club. No other sport is quite as adaptable as hiking. If you want to reduce — hike; if you want to gain — hike. Hiking helps you to keep that schoolgirl complexion ; hiking corrects pigeon-toes and knock-knees. If you wish to take advantage of any of the opportunities mentioned above — hike. If you don ' t, there is something wrong with you and you should hike anyway in order to restore yourself to normalcy. Page fine hundred tiicnty-l irt ' r i(Ti This is the first year that we have had horseshoe pitching among the sports at Salem. We feel that it is a sport in which even girl can participate. It is not strenuous ; therefore, the girl who has a weak heart or any other physical disability may enjoy it. It is sufficiently intricate to appeal to the most scholarly student, and yet. with a certain amount of application, even the most shallow minded of us mav learn it. Besides all this, it is a new sport. This fact alone should appeal to every girl. The lustre has not as yet been worn oft. This means that now is the time for even girl to come out and learn the game before somebody else gets a start on her. sno £EE Even though soccer is the youngest sport at Salem, having been installed in l c 2b. it has-made quite a hit. Soccer certainly has a kick in it. as any one of the players can show you by her bruised knees and scraped shins, which are not soon forgotten. Soccer is one of the youngest and one of the most enjoyable sports at Salem. Now that it has started the girls are very enthusiastic over it. since it gives a perfectly legiti- mate excuse for kicking — the ball. At Salem soccer stands for vigor, enthusiasm and pep.

Page one hundred twenty-seven The New Alma Mater Various attempts have been made in the course of the years to establish a new Alma Mater at Salem ; one that would be distinctive to the college in both words and music, and one that all students and alumnae would learn and enjoy singing. This year a contest, approved by the student body, has been conducted by the Order of the Scorpion for the writing of an original college song. The contest has not been closed as yet, and everyone hopes that it will bring a lasting Alma Mater of which Salem may be proud in any college gathering. The Salemite This weekly paper published by a staff selected from the student body serves as a diary for even 1 girl. Its columns contain events, jokes, current topics, open forum articles, and sometimes a little gossip. Its editorial sections are well worth reading, and its exchange column is always interesting. The Daisy Chain This feature of commencement adds greatly to the beauty and significance of the exercises. When the Seniors drop the daisy chain from their shoulders the act sym- bolizes the severing of college ties. It is fitting that the daisy should be used, since it is the college flower. The Orchestra Under Miss Read ' s direction the college orchestra stays in preparedness and good form. It app ears on various occasions during the year at evening recitals, and often furnishes music for college banquets and parties. Cheer Up, Juniors! If you find a Junior ' s blue I can tell you what to do: Just lend a little smile, and then some cheer, For from early in September She works hard until December, And then she keeps it up straight through the year. Besides her usual studies She, with all her class-room buddies, Has to usher, ring the bell, and alwavs labor. Though love-sick, there is no time For her to sit alone and pine. Besides, they say, vjork gives to life its savor. The Alumnae Record The Alumnae Record is sent periodically to all subscribing alumnae in order to keep them in touch with college activities and to serve as a means of exchange of important and interesting notes. Page one hundred ticenly-eigltl il-frj -- wr 1 jk I pb.wbhpb ■ 1 ' ■■ ■ ri fe P Miss Mary Elizabeth Meinung, How many loyal Salem girls remember with pleasure the dear lady whose honored name stands at the head of this paragraph! They will be glad to read, not her memoir for she is still bright and living, but to hear a little more about her. Miss Mary, as everybody calls her, was born in Salem, November 15, 1845. Herself a pupil of the Academy, she began her long career as a teacher in planters ' homes, as the custom used to be. Then she came back to the Academy where she taught for ten years. Then she entered with patient and loving service in the growing Library of the college, where for thirty years she continued. If a painter wanted to present a picture of the virtue which we call Faithfulness he would only need to get a photograph of the dear lady of whom we are writing and name his portrait Faithfulness, and underneath simply insert in golden letters: Miss Mary, and everybody would recognize the truth of the picture. Vatje one hundred twenty-nine y 1=1 J J Will the Dean Ever Come Home? The Dean, he ' s gone and he ' s left us All over this wide world to roam; He ' j gone and he ' s left a good college. He ' s gone and he ' s left a good home. Last month we wrote him a letter And asked him to come home again; But the Doctor just got back an answer. And this is what he said to him: When Charlie stops courting Miss Willis, And Roy stays home once a week: When you and Vardell stop your joking And making of chapel a freak ; When Salem has grown to one thousand. And the Seniors can sing on the key ; When you forget ' co-operation, Then. Howard, 111 come back to thee. ' ' The Halls Main Hall is our place for all classe-. South Hall for Academy lassies.

If he had an official title it would probably be Head Carpenter; but every girl who stays at Salem long enough to become a Senior learns to know Mr. Burrage and to value him as the general utility man.

' Pa§e  nr hundred thirty Mrs. Rondthaler If there is any one person on this campus who brings sunshine to others, and is a real sunbeam, that person is Mrs. Rondthaler. For several years she has been called the Senior Friend, but we like it more general than that, for she is everybody ' s friend. All troubles are carried to her, and she patiently listens to many and varied stories. However complex they may be she is always sympathetic, encouraging, and ready with a solution. She is truly a Sunbeam for us. Hints to Next Year ' s Editor It takes more than ability to edit a book That contains all the matters at college; There are all kinds of things that the boss needs to know Which aren ' t given in plain oV book knowledge. Don ' t waste any time while you ' re planning your book, Choose your staff, and then get right to work, (The preceding March is the time to begin) But don ' t dare let a one of them shirk. You can never perform all the tasks by yourself So for heaven ' s sake, don ' t even try it ! But remember it ' s best to be able to type For you might sometime have to apply it. Plan to call the P. O. your official abode, Make friends with our Diogenes, For to him you must go when long hours are done And say, Open the door for me, please. If the book ' s a success you must bear this in mind That the college gets lots of the credit. And the girls will all boast of its beauty and charm Though half of them never once read it. You ' ll do most of the work, I can tell you right now, And if mention is made of your name, I warn you, ' tis sad, but ' tis horribly true; They won ' t praise you — you ' ll get all the blame!

' Sam ' : The Value of a Smile The thing that goes the farthest toward making life worth while That costs the least, and does the most, is just a pleasant smile. The smile that bubbles from the heart, that loves its fellowmen Will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the sun again. It ' s full of worth, and goodness, too, with human kindness blent, It ' s worth a million dollars — and it doesn ' t cost a cent. There is no room for sadness where we see a cherry smile; It always has the same good look — it ' s never out of style; It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue; The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you. li pays a higher interest, for it is merely lent It ' v worth a million dollars — and it doesn ' t cost a cent. A smile comes easily enough, a twinkle in the e e Is natural — and does more good than any long-drawn sigh! It touches on the heartstrings till they quiver blithe and long, And always leaves an echo that is very like a song. So — smile away! Folks understand what by a smile is meant; It ' v worth a million dollars — and it doesn ' t cost a cent. — Wilbur D. Nesbit. Page one hundred tftirty-tw 5UllPlflL Founder ' s Day On February the third, of each year, Salem celebrates her birthday anniversary, and this year, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, tolled the one hundred and fifty- fifth birthday of our Alma Mater. During Chapel Services, Students, and visiting Alumnae were told something of the history of our college; during the afternoon hours Salem ' s Museum was opened to the public; and the day was closed with a banquet attended by the Students, members of the Faculty, the Trustees, Friends, and the Alumnae of Salem, followed by a meeting of the Alumnae Association in the beautiful campus living room of Alice Clewell Building. Senior Christmas Carols Hark! the sound of Christmas music Cuts the clear December air, See! the light of many candles Pierce the darkness, here and there. ' Tis the Seniors carolling To tell the Christmas message o ' er In the good old English fashion Singing songs from door to door. Faculty Play This year tense excitement ran riot, for fully two weeks, over the advent of the Faculty Play. Various and sundry were the weird mystic noises issued from the domain of the English Department. What was happening to our faculty? The night of presentation finally arrived, and the auditorium was thronged with the eager excited faces of the students. Needless to say, the lamentable tragedy of Julius Caesar, rewritten, revised, authorized, and supervized by the Faculty, was a production of stupendous and un- paralleled success. Class Day Not the least beautiful and impressive of the Commencement exercises, is Senior Class Day, which takes place after the alumnae luncheon on the day before Com- mencement. Class Day at Salem has always been a ceremony of great beauty and charm, for it has a perfect setting in the lower campus, which in June is at its loveliest. The Class Day masque or pageant usually has some motive in keeping with the thought of Commencement and of graduation. Around this central theme, the presentation is built, made colorful and attractive with the addition of songs, dances and bright costumes. For the Seniors, therefore, the natural sadness which the thought of Com- mencement brings, is tempered with pleasure in the presentation of their charming and beautiful Class Day exercises. Page one hundred thirty-three M May Day The May Queen Bessie Reine Clark Maid of H ' jnr,r Louise Elizabeth Culler THE MAY COURT Cam Boren Frances Coleman Julia Daniels Pearl Fishel Elizabeth Hastings Mary Johnson- Sarah Kincaid Frances Millikan Frances McCormick Elizabeth Sifterd Louise Thompson La Verne Ware Jennie Wolfe Doris Wooten For many years there has been no celebration of May Day at Salem. This day at other colleges is a great event, and an occasion for presenting an elaborate masque over which reigns the chosen May Queen. This year. May Day is one of the important events on the Salem Calendar. Much interest has been shown in the choosing of the Queen and in the preparations for the May Day celebration. It is to be hoped that this beautiful ceremony will become traditional at Salem, and as charming an occasion as Senior Hat-Burning, or Class Day. junior-oemor rrom One of the biggest social events of the whole year is the Junior-Senior Prom or Banquet. The Juniors, as hostesses, begin long before to work and plan for the affair. The Seniors, who are the guests, look forward to being entertained in some original, wholly, and delightful way. The plans are developed on a most elaborate scale; all ingenuity and inventiveness is called into play, and no thought or energy is spared ; for the prom must be a success. It always is a success, a beautiful and artistic en- tertainment which brings to Juniors and Seniors a sense of delight and satisfaction, and to Sophomores and Freshmen, bright anticipations for the future. The Senior Dinner The Senior Dinner is a very exclusive affair to which only members of the class are invited. This is the last time that the Seniors are together for fun and frolic, so that the occasion has a sad as well as a happy significance. After the dinner, it is the custom for those girls who are soon to be married, to run around the table. This amusTng ceremony affords opportunity for the showering of good wishes on the happy brides-to-be, and brings the evening to a pleasant close. Pit(jc fine hundred thirty-four THE MAY QUEEN Bessie Reine Clark I ' nge nnc hundred thirty-five Freshman Week This year Freshman Week was inaugurated at Salem, and the first days of the collegiate vear were devoted entirely to green young Freshmen. First of all these lower classmen were made to feel that they were a part of Salem and that their Alma Mater was expecting them to uphold the standard of her proud spirit. Rides, picnics, parties and dances were given for them and the first week of school did. indeed, involve both old and new students with the spirit of eagerness, determination, and enthusiasm to give to Salem the very best of themselves. Hat Burning, One of the most beautiful events of the college year is the occasion of Hat Burning. The exercises take place on the spacious terraces of upper campus where a huge bonfire is lit. The Seniors dance around the fire into which they slowly discard their paper hats. This occasion is symbolic of the loss of frivolity and the assumption of Senior dignity. Each Sophomore sister then decks her Senior sister with cap and gown which the stately Senior wears throughout the remaining months of happy college life. Young, People ' s Meetings Young People ' s Meeting, or more familiarly known to the college student as Y. P. M. , is an expanded chapel hour which comes each Wednesday morning from eleven until twelve o ' clock. During this period every factor concerning student life and activity here at Salem is discussed. Often, however, the members of the student body are privileged to hear someone from out of town, who, being an authority in his particular field, presents a topic of universal interest to each college girl. Ivy and Tree Planting Each Senior Class, before leaving Salem, plants as a memorial of its four college years, a spray of ivy and a tree. The planting is accompanied by an impressive ceremony in which the tree and the ivy are dedicated, and a wish is expressed that they may grow and flourish, to add to the beauty of the campus, and to keep green the memory of the Senior Class. The Christmas Party The annual Christmas party held a few nights before the holidays begin is per- haps the most successful entertainment of the year. Alter dinner everybody gathers in the gaily decorated living room, around the huge Christmas tree heavily ladened with gifts to each of which is attached a little verse that Santa reads aloud as he presents the gift. Then ambrosia and fruit cake are served, and everybody, filled with the Christmas spirit combined with Salem spirit, declares this party the best of them all. Viujf lute hundred thirty-six Senior Christmas Vespers One of the most beautiful of the old customs observed at Salem, is the Christmas vesper service, held in the library, on the Sunday afternoon before college closes for the holidays. The service is always led by Dr. Rondthaler, and is most impressive. The beautiful old Christmas carols are sung, and, at the close of the service, the Seniors give to each person present, a lighted candle, as a symbol of the light which came into the world with the birth of Christ. Evening, Watch Just before light bell rings at night, the girls on the different halls assemble at an appointed place for Evening Watch. The purpose of this Watch is to give a spiritual benediction to the day and to the events of the day. The leader of Watch reads several selected verses from the Bible and the girls sing hymns. After this, they are dismissed, and they go to their respective rooms. With them goes a feeling of peace and reverence, which guides and inspires them in future life and work. Thanksgiving, Games Thanksgiving is one of the red letter days at Salem, for on this day comes the anticipated annual clash between the basketball teams of the four Classes. Class spirit probably runs highest at this time than at any other time of the year, for basketball is Salem ' s major sport, and wild and furious are the cheers spurring each team on to victory. This year the Juniors and Sophomores were the first classes to play, followed by the Seniors and the Freshmen. The runners-up were the red-jerseyed Juniors and the wily young Freshmen. All of the games created true spirit and sportsmanship on the part of both the spectators and of the players. The Juniors, however, again proved their basketball prowess by winning the final game. The Blue Richie Conference In June of every year Salem sends her representatives to the Student Conference at Blue Ridge, North Carolina. These representatives, selected from the various or- ganizations and classes of the college, attend discussion groups, and interesting and instructive lectures at Blue Ridge. The influence of these students ' attendance of the conference is widely felt on the campus the following year. Bishop at Easter Again at Easter the Chapel hours are devoted to Bishop Rondthaler who makes the beautiful Lenten Season even more dear to our hearts by his glowing, vivid word pictures of the life, the death, and the glorious resurrection of our Lord on that glorious Easter Morn. Page one hundred thirty-seven Transfer of Caps and Gowns In the few short hours remaining before commencement the Seniors realize that all the symbols of their stately dignity must be conferred upon the incoming Senior Class. A brief exercise is held, at which time the Seniors hand to the Juniors their caps and gowns, and the future Seniors who have longed the entire year for this par- ticular taste of dignity waste no time in displaying their borrowed finery, and ride throughout the city heralding their near achievement of Seniorhood. Chapel Preceding all daily tasks at Salem, one half hour is donated each morning to songs and worship in the college chapel in Memorial Hall. Each member of the student body is required to attend. Every girl carries away with her from this devotional service some spiritual and inspirational benefit which she must confront during her daily tasks. Barn Dance This year the Athletic Association dispensed with its usual formal dress affair, and entertained the students with a charmingly informal Barn Dance. Mr. Harry Long, Head of the Department of Physical Education, with his habitual pep and enthusiasm, soon had each guest bubbling over with fun and gaiety. This unique dance was one of the most enjoyable parties at Salem. Bishop at Advent For three consecutive Wednesdays before the Christmas holiday season begins, Salem enjoys the rare treat of hearing Bishop Edward Rondthaler in his Advent ad- dresses interpret the beautiful Christmas stories at the Young People ' s Meetings, and from these talks it always leaves to each Salem girl the thought of the real signifi- cance of the Christmas Spirit. Transfer of Colors and Flowers In order that the four sets of class colors and flowers might be maintained from year to year, the Senior Class of the College, at commencement each year, bestows upon the Senior Class of the Academy, their class colors and flowers with an invocation that the incoming Freshmen uphold the honor and significance of their class. unior Circ cus This year the Junior Class introduced an event into the college year which was appalling in its stupendous uniqueness, namely, the Junior Circus! The parade during chapel, with its lengthy procession of clowns, and wild animals from Salem ' s Zoo, was a most successful advertisement preceding the jolly times in the big tent on lower campus. The present Juniors hope that their successors will continue to make this happy occasion one of the most outstanding events of the year.
