If, in future years, this hook shall recall to you pleas- ant memories of school days at old Salem, and shall help to CHIS volume of SIGHTS AND INSIGHTS, published under the direction of the Senior Class of Salem College, at Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is a Spirit of Progress Book, and the staff has attempted to carry out this idea, as represented by Salem College and the community, in every possible detail. Each Senior has had the privilege of selecting a Salem alumna as a sponsor, whose picture appears on the same page with that of the Senior. Thus she has, in a way, ded- icated her book to one alumna, in particular, joining past and present Salem girls. There is much of the past in this book, old pictures, and old costumes, most of which in Salem Girls are family heirlooms, some of them dating back to the early nineteenth century ; and the art staff has used for its in- spiration the relics found in the Salem Museum. The Salem History contained in this volume is the first com- plete authentic history of the city, tracing the development of Salem College along with the growth of Salem and Winston. It is based on historical records, and involve extensive research. The present is represented by Salem Sights, and Salem to Winston-Salem, which shows the newest of the city buildings and the corresponding old ones. There is only one touch of the future, and that is the map of Salem Campus in the Future. The staff of SIGHTS AND INSIGHTS wishes to take this opportunity to express its appreciation to Miss Adelaide Fries, Miss Bessie Pfohl, Mr. Douglas Rights, and Mr. J. R. Boiling, all of Winston-Salem, N. C. ; and Mrs. E. T. Harmon and Miss Elva Blair, of High Point, N. C. ; and others, for their valued assistance in the preparation of the Spirit of Progress Book. i Bishop Edward Roxdthaler Professor of Biblical Literature B.D.. Moravian Theological Seminary: D.D..

Jane ' s mother was a Salem alumna of the Class of 1929, and she had been very anx- ious to send her daughter back to her Alma Mater. She had told her many stories of various club activities, of May Day celebrations, and of election stump speeches, w ' hile Jane looked forward to the time when she might have a part in the same activities. Well, since you ' re really going, Jane ' s mother said, I guess I ' d better stop telling you about feasts after light bell and turning in the fire alarm, and tell you about more worthwhile things. Mother, do you guess I ' ll feel very fresh and green when I get there? If you don ' t you won ' t be a real freshman. All of us in our class were bewildered at first, and believed anything that anybody told us, but we soon learned that the stories we heard were just part of a freshman ' s training, so we began to find out about things for ourselves. The old girls, especially our big sisters, were very friendly; they entertained us at several parties until we began t o feel at home. We tried to get the real Salem spirit and to show our interest in everything about the campus, but fresh- men can ' t be trusted with many responsibilities, so our activities our freshman year were limited chiefly to getting in and out of the buildings when the fire alarm sounded. ' You can ' t imagine how important we felt when we came back our sophomore year to greet each other as old girls and to see new girls in our old places. Our first real recognition came when we won the stunt contest during Freshman Week, and 49 each of us got a lick from the prize box of lollypops. Then came hat-burning, when we dressed up as pages and carried the seniors ' caps and gowns. The year rushed by in work and fun, and all too soon it was time to tell our big sisters good-bye, but at the same time we realized that we were juniors. Our junior year was so busy that we thought it ought to be spread over two years. The first time we marched to chapel, filling about three benches, and saw that flock of seniors, we grew weak thinking about entertaining them. We set to work and spent our time running the Junior Book Shop, giving dances, and selling sandwiches, cold drinks and tickets to picture shows — and counting our nickels. But when May twelfth came, and we had our lovely Japanese prom, we knew that nothing we had done was too much. Everything was beautiful — the lower campus lighted with Japanese lanterns, the ' silver moon, ' and the little Jap waitresses — yes, they were almost too lovely. We stopped our money-making that year long enough to rejoice when our little sisters won the basketball championship, for it was the first time that anyone in our family had been able to gain any recognition on Thanksgiving. When we came back our last year, and realized that we were at last seniors, we did not feel, as w ' e once thought we would, that ours were the wisest heads on the campus. It fell to us as seniors to carry out the traditions which had come down through the years, such at hat-burning, Christmas vespers, and ivy- and tree-planting. Each of us agreed that she had never been prouder than when Dr. Rondthaler put her cap on her head at hat-burning. This seemed the shortest year of all, and soon we were standing with our diplomas in our hands, our four years together ended. They had been happy years from the very first ' Standing at the Portal ' until the last time we sang the ' Alma Mater ' to- gether. Class Prophecy Dear Miss Stipe: Paris, France, June i, 1930. We ' re here — had a perfectly glorious time on the boat coming over. Paris is divine! We arrived two weeks ago Monday. Had a cablegram from Cam saying that she could make the trip finally, so went back to Cherbourg to meet her — but I ' m ahead of everything. I ' ll begin at the beginning. Remember how we used to talk about the class reunion which we would have in Paris in 1930, when we planned to come over to see the Passion Play? Of course, we never dreamed it would come true. We ' re thrilled to death that there are even sixteen of us here. Can ' t you just see us doing Paris? We left New York two weeks ago Friday, Ruth Marsden, Edna Lindsey, Rose Frasier, Rubie Scott, and I. Dot Ragan expected to go with us. She got as far as New York, fell in love and married — all within ten days. She called me to tell me about it and said that she expected to continue writing articles on friendship and sincerity for the Ladies ' Home Journal. But to come back to our departure. We were all tired out after rushing around the city all day, so crawled in our bunks that night without talking very much. Rubie and I had a stateroom together. In the morning we were awakened by a rap on the stateroom door. Ruth and Edna came in. Everyone talked at once, as you can imagine. What one of us hadn ' t heard, some one else had. Ruth told us that Lib Crouse and Lib Andrews are chorus girls with some New York company. Caroline Price, Julia Daniels, and Brownie Peacock have started a darling tea room in Winston-Salem. I ' m certainly glad you have at last a decent place to eat down there. Do you suppose that the competition they offer will hurt the Greek ' s much? Edna told us that Margaret Johnson is hostess on one of the Great Lake boats, and that Helen Johnson is the leader of Winston-Salem ' s town orchestra. Everyone was simply floored when I told them that you had written that Jessie Davis had joined the music faculty at Salem. Oh, by the way, did you know that as soon as Sallie Hunter Ball is through conducting her camp this summer she is going to apply for instructorship in horseback riding at Salem? The way these people change their minds! She told us in her letter that Lib Thomas has been conducting tours all summer, and likes it so well that she is going to take a party to South America next winter. Picture Lib in heathen South America! Of course you knew that Isabelle Dunn began teaching in summer school and is simply crazy about it. I think she expects to take graduate work at Columbia for her M.A. Rubie told us that Alice is an understudy for Ziegfeld ' s leading lady, and that Anne has taken up ballet dancing and is simply wild about it. She also said that Mabel Mehaffey is singing in one of Keith ' s acts, and is a howling success. We asked Rubie how she knew about so many people, and she finally admitted that she had been taking up a commercial art course and, since living in Greenwich Village, kept posted on the bohemian. And now, here ' s a secret Miss Stipe. I ' ve not told any of the girls— I know they ' d simply die- but I ' m going to stay over here and do figure skating at Lake Moritz when the winter season begins. Isn ' t that thrilling? Well, not having eaten since six o ' clock Friday night, we began to feel a bit hungry, so Rubie and I decided to dress. Once out on deck we took a turn around. Found Rose sitting in a deck chair all bundled up. You knew, di dn ' t you, that she had a nervous break-down from over- work at college? She is really well now, and the same old Rose. Says she thinks she ' ll stay abroad for a few months to get a broader view on life. Next we ate, and were much too busy to talk. We were just bound to run out of news, after a while, so we spent the rest of our time playing the horses, going out for deck games, bridge parties and dancing. Ruth says she ' s sick and tired of study and responsibility, and is throwing her cares to the winds, and is planning to run around Europe till it loses its novelty for her. In a way we regretted docking, after such a delightful trip. A day ' s journey, and a miserable one, from Cherbourg to Paris. At the hotel we found a cablegram from Cam saying that she would arrive the following Monday. We could hardly wait to see her. Saturday night we telephoned Marion Bloor, who is making Paris her home on her honey- moon. She said there were lots of girls from our class in Paris whom we would be surprised to see. We were invited to call on her the next Wednesday. You can be sure we went. Well, Monday we went back to Cherbourg to meet Cam. I have never been as surprised! Margaret Hauser, Margaret Stevenson, and Elva Lee Kenerly were with her. They had the floor, needless to say, all the way back to Paris. Cam decided at the last minute to leave her husband for a while — said he ' d appreciate her more when she returns. Elva Lee hasn ' t been doing anything much, but she fell completely for an English earl (aged forty-eight, as we later learned) on the boat, so I guess before long we ' ll hear something definite. She raved and raved about him, but Margaret Stevenson was acting funny, so we had to call time on Elva Lee. Poor Margaret was bubbling over with enthusiasm and was dying to tell us that she was to be a mannequin for Mme. Gramond. Evidently that has always been her secret ambition. But, Miss Stipe, this is the greatest blow — Margaret Hauser is a missionary, and is going into Russia to try to help improve conditions there, as soon as she has been to the Passion Play. She ' s certainly devoted to the idea. Poor Margaret! I wonder shall we ever see her again? Back in Paris! Edna left us at the station to attend to some business. We went on to the hotel and arranged for tickets for the Folies Bergeres as a celebration. Prepare for a shock, Miss Stipe: Frances Hancock was in the chorus, and Edna Lindsey was the premiere danseuse. She had made the contract before she left Salem, and never told us a word of it. On the way- back to the hotel Margaret Stevenson told us that Mary Miller is giving a series of lectures, trving to prove to this incredulous world that home economics is a science and does not deal solely with manual labor. Saw more of Paris all day Tuesday. Managed to live through Wednesday till tea hour, when we all set out for Marion ' s. She has a darling place. Of course we saw all the things she had with her and heard of her stay in Venice and Sorrento. Tea was served. Conversation began and never lagged an instant. We hadn ' t been there long when in came Mary Johnson. I was certainly surprised to see her, for the last I heard she was studying organ in New York. She explained that it interfered so with dinners, dances, polo games, and theater parties that she simply couldn ' t keep up with it. It surely seemed good to see her. She told us that she had heard that Emily Sargent is going to teach in a country school in Kansas, but will keep up her study in astronomy. Thelma Cagle was the next to arrive. She is an artist ' s model and is simply fascinated with her work, devoting all of her time to it. Margaret Vaughn was supposed to come with her, but couldn ' t leave her establishment. She is one of Paris ' most famed modistes. Marion was called to the phone about this time and came back so excited she could hardly talk. Lillyan Newell was in town and wanted to come out. Marion didn ' t tell her we were all there, so you can imagine her when she came in. Told us all about her Swiss husband, but I believe she ' s more thrilled over her new accomplishment. She yodels. Yes, she really does. Yodels her husband away in the morning and yodels him home at night. She was in the midst of a demonstration when Lib Roper came breezing in. Well, Miss Stipe, you just don ' t know! I had a letter from Lib when she was in Panama saying that she was crazy about it and wouldn ' t be any other place, and now, here she is in Paris, singing in Zelli ' s out at Mont- martre! Having an awfully good time, she says. Sees more people she knows, and lots from Salem. That afternoon was the best one we ' ve ever spent. We just talked and talked — Do you re- member this or that? — Oh, that reminds me! Marion almost had to put us out. Today we haven ' t done much, just went for a ride this afternoon. It was lovely. I wish I could tell you about it, but I simply must pack, ' cause we leave in the morning for Oberam- mergau. All of us send our very best. Remember us to everyone. Lots of Love, Doris. Last Will and Testament of the Class of ' 29 State: North Carolina. County: Forsyth City: Winston-Salem. Section i. We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine, of Salem College, being possessed of sound minds, do hereby publish, make known, and declare to all whom it may concern, that this is our Last Will and Testament. Section 2. To the Classes. To the Juniors we leave our privileges, our unprecedented dignity, and the honor of occupying our choir seats in chapel each morning. To the Sophomores, our unassuming sister class, we leave our sisterly advice to be persistent in their pursuit of wisdom, and to preserve always the good spirit of sports- manship which has been theirs these past two years. We request that they be ever mindful of the love and admiration which they have won in our hearts. To the Freshmen we leave the sincere hope that some day they will cast aside their childish ways and become true college women. To the Class of 1932 we leave our class colors, red and black, with the hope that they will prove themselves better fitted for the athletic field than we. At the same time, we beg that they always be conscious of the pride and reverence with which we have worn them these past four years. Section 3. To the Students. Mary Miller Falkener leaves her rare gift of oratory to Grace Brown, with the desire that in the future Miss Brown will be able to speak fluently and with ease. Emily Sargent wills her interest in modern poets and poetry to Mary Myers Faulkner. Mabel Mehaffey, Cam Boren, and Mary Johnson, being the only members of the class who are able to do so, leave their unexcelled popularity to Louise Swaim and Mildred Enochs. Anne Hairston, the class songster, wills her melodious voice to Kitty Moore. Elva Lee Kenerly leaves her quiet, demure manner to that boisterous Lucie Currie, with the desire that she will some day obtain the unobtrusiveness of Miss Kenerly. 53 To the Biology Class are left all the amoeba and paramoecium which they may be able to find without the aid of Edna Lindsey and Dorothy Ragan. To the Education 5-6 Class, the pleasure of standing on the street corners and hailing rides to the high school is left. Ruth Marsden leaves her love of and enthusiasm for sports to Ruth Carter. Dot Ragan and Anne Hairston will their Damon and Pythias friendship to Mary Brewer and Claudia Bradford. To Jane Harris, Thelma Cagle leaves her ability to get ads, with the hope that she may become the successful business woman that Miss Cagle has become. Margaret Hauser wills her artistic ability, which has been outstanding in Mrs. Meinung ' s art classes, to Leo Wilder. Helen Johnson leaves to Carrye Braxton her place on the college honor roll, with the hope that Miss Braxton will attain the scholastic heights which Miss Johnson has reached. Margaret Stevenson wills her energetic spirit to Lucile Hassel. To Estie Lee Clore, Rose Frasier leaves her thin, sylph-like figure, with the desire that Miss Clore will prove herself a talented aesthetic dancer. Edna Lindsey wills her bashful, retiring manner to Louise Thompson and Dion Armfield. Elizabeth Roper leaves her training and ability as a basketball player to Anita Dunlap, with the fond hope that Miss Dunlap will some day become a famous cross- country runner. Elizabeth Andrews wills her reputation as the athletic girl to Dorothy Thomp- son, who is fast proving herself worthy of this title. To Mr. Campbell, our class teacher, we will the next class, which may appre- ciate and love him as we have done. To Miss Stipe and Doctor and Mrs. Rondthaler we leave our sincere thanks and appreciation for all they have done for us. To our Alma Mater we leave our undying love and devotion and our sincere wishes that her future may be as glorious as her past has been. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this seventh day of November, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight. Dorothy Ragan, Testator. Signed, sealed, published, and declared by Dorothy Ragan, the testator for the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine, as their last will and testament in the presence of us, who, at her request, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses.

A. girls and, otherwise, took care of ourselves. We thought we did very well. At any rate, we felt exceedingly cap- able by the end of probation, when the Student Government Council gave us a party and allowed us to remove our green ribbons and name plates. As Sophomores we almost outdid the Seniors in assuming authority. With Lucile Hassell, our president, presiding at our court, we pro- ceeded to put the Freshmen in their place. We tried to do so again at the Thanksgiving games, but evidently judicial ability and athletic prowess did not seem to mix. In November we assisted our Senior sis- ters at Hat Burning. During the latter part of the year we began to have social aspirations, and we did quite a bit of entertaining. When we reached the third lap of our journey, only thirty-four of our original hundred and fifty-one were left, but we were still hale and hearty. Having entered society as Sophomores, we were obliged to uphold our reputation. We began with the tea for our Freshman sis- ters, and have ended by entertaining the Seniors. All the year we have moved in figures or high finance, and have resorted to selling all kinds of tickets in order to keep our best foot forward. Loyalty and good fellowship being the chief attributes of the class, and Adelaide Mc- Anally being its president, the Junior Class had to succeed. 62 ni S ' • 111 . ■ 1 If Ti : i i w$%.? 3BU joplhiomaoire Os , $%$h Soph omore 2 A W CI ass Colors: Black and Gold Flower: Black-Eyed Susan Motto: True Knowledge Leads to Love and Service.

This morning, I began to feel almost lonesome, so I seated myself on a little cloud near the gate and began to watch the crowds coming in, hoping there might be someone I knew. For a long time I watched in vain, and then suddenly, I saw none other than Pat Holderness break through the crowds and dash up to Saint Peter. I. R. S. ! she shouted boldly, and started forward. Aye, said Saint Peter, restraining her. but to what class dost thou belong? Thirty-two. of course, replied Pat confidently, and again she attempted to enter. But Saint Peter stopped her with a gesture, and with another started her down- ward, looking more subdued than I ever imagined Pat could look. I was feeling almost scrry for her when my eyes were gladdened by the sight of Jane Harris being shown eagerly through the gate; upon mention of the magic nu- merals thirty-one. I flew to greet her and soon we were deep in talk of eld Salem. What happened this year, Jane? I asked. You remember I left just before college began. Oh, we have been having the most exciting time in the world, training the fresh- men, she said. We ' ve had a whole week of making them scramble like eggs, bunch like grapes, clean up our rooms, and do everything you can imagine. That reminds me of last year. Do you remember, Jane, how we stayed on probation till the middle of January, and how somebody was always getting restricted and keeping us on longer, till we got so used to be chaperoned we didn ' t know how to act by ourselves? ,r V es. and remember how, in spite of that, we won the championships in basket- ball, and then in volley ball, soccer, swimming, and track? And in baseball— er I can ' t seem to remember baseball. No, I can ' t either, I replied, but perhaps it will make a better impression this year. From the way they ' ve started, it looks to me like old thirty-one is going to roll up the honors again, especially with such grand officers as they have this year- Ruth Carter to take your place as president. Mary Gwyn Hickerson as secretary, and Eva Hackney as treasurer. By this time we had gotten so worked up over the good old times at Salem that we must have been looking a little homesick, for I saw Saint Peter regarding us reprov- ingly. With one accord we picked up our harps and began to play, Strong are thy walls, O Salem. in beautiful harmonv. 72 Freslhunmsiini Cfess Freshman Class I A K Colors: Red and White Flower: Red Rose Motto: Friendly and True.

One member of the audience — her face plainly showing excitement and ta interest — turned to her neighbor and said: Margaret, I ' ve never experienced such a thrill since I was made cheer leader at Salem, years ago! You know, that woman who is taking the part of the college dean is, I am perfectly sure, May Lib Meeks, a girl who used to take part in lots of the plays given at Salem. The voice is the very same, and she hasn ' t grown an inch. The other woman looks somewhat like Mary Virginia Pendergraph, another actress of the Class of ' 32, but I ' m not just sure, for I thought she was teaching math at some university. This play, I ' m sure, is much more interesting to you, Pat, than to me, Margaret replied, for you know I ' m hardly able to appreciate a play dealing with nothing but college life, never having been to college myself. Well. began Pat, I ' ll just give you a little idea of what it ' s like. It has been a pretty good while ago, but the year nineteen twenty-eight will never escape my poor memory. In the first place, at the very beginning, you can imagine what a fright we all got when we reached the College; I think everybody experienced practically the same feeling of utter helplessness, but you never saw or heard of such good times as the Juniors and all the others gave us during our first week. We followed our big sisters around like babies hanging to their mothers skirts at the county fair, and those Juniors and Seniors looked after us to perfection. But then came Sopho- more week, right on top of all the teas and parries we had been given, and it certainly sent a terrible feeling through every one of us. I ' ll never forget it. Some of the poor girls would take almost any kind of medicine to make themselves sick, so they could miss Sophomore Court — that dreaded 6:30 assembly of frowning, commanding, teasing, sneering Sophomores who made us do anything from ' bunching like grapes ' to ' rolling like thunder. They were all nice to us, however, after Sophomore Week was over, and we felt more like human beings. Then, let me see — oh, I ' ll never forget our stunt night! Every class had to prepare a stunt, and ours got the prize for being the best. You should have seen the prize, an immense box of chewing gum — all fifty-seven varieties — and everybody grabbed for it like starved Armenians. Another time we all went to hear Paul Whiteman and his orchestra, and looking around almost anywhere in the third gallery you could spot a freshman by seeing something round and dark, which was the freshman ' s mouth, and which did not close during the entire performance. Some of us even went back-stage, after the concert, to get Whiteman to autograph our pro- grams, which he did, thinking, I suppose, that we were babies and needed humoring. Then at mid-term quizzes, you ' d never see anybody at dinner, because of course everybody put off studying until the last minute, then next morning went rushing off like petrified people, to History under Dr. Anscomb or French under Miss Wilson. ' ' Of course, there ' s so much to tell you that I could talk on forever — through four or five plays like this — but I do want to tell you what a wonderful basketball team we had. You should have seen Marion Turner (six feet two) give the ball a knowing look, and it would obediently go right in the basket. I was so hoarse after leading the yells at the senior-freshman, junior-fre-hman, and sophomore-freshman games a of which we won, by the way, that I ate cough drops for a week afterward. We had a wonderful Freshman Fai r. too. All the ' birds beasts, upper classmen, and faculty ' were there, and we had everything except elephants and a ferris wheel ! I remember Becky Piatt made an ideal yeller for our different booths, and we had a square dance, orchestra, and everything. And — but, oh, I can ' t tell you about our basketball banquet, which was held the Saturday before Thanksgiving, because there go the lights. I ' ll tell you some other time. 84 B Esimiess Stodleimtts Business Students Marion ' Allen Dion Armfield Jamaica, B. W. I. Greensboro, N. C.

Since that year it has increased considerably in membership, and now includes all the college students, both off and on campus. This organization has as its purpose: To develop self control and loyalty in the students, to instill in them the highest principles of honor and self-development, and to create a oneness of spirit through the harmonious co-operation of the individuals. Each year the students are raising Salem ' s standards higher, assuming more personal responsibility for upholding these standards, and c o-operating in a more beautiful way. Each member of the organization at all times carries before her the watch word, ' ' Honor. In the last three years the association has seen fit to divide its executive council into two, the On-Campus and Off-Campus. Although the councils function separately on their particular problems, they meet together for discu.-sion upon matters which may concern the student body as a whole, or for consideration of serious problems which may confront either council. 88 STl ' DEXT COUNCIL STUDENT COUNCIL 90 mm I.

We began very soon in our work by greeting the new girls at the station. Along with our new purpose we have been fortunate in securing a new cabinet room, more conveniently located and better equipped than the old one, enabling us to make it a center of student life. The cabinet room was formally opened to the student body with a series of teas given during the week of the Membership Drive. The Social Service Committee represents the association off the campus, doing extensive field work as well as meeting the needs of the campus. The World Fellowship Committee endeavors to keep before the student body international events, thus familiarizing it with the thoughts and actions of different countries. The Evening Watch Committee plans devotional services during the week, which bring all the girls together informally to services of worship. The chairmen of the other committees are equally active, thus enabling the Y Cabinet to work constructively and have a share in promoting Christian fellowship on our campus. The service which interprets most clearly the significance of this student organization is our Christmas Vesper Service. During this service we share again with one another the light of Christian love and ' ' good will toward men. It is the sincere hope of the Y Cabinet that this light may never grow dim, but will grow brighter until its radiance will light the way to Chris- tian brotherhood. 92 Jo i£? .1 p - - M ,n r r r Sjf t ' ° nr| Iff r] Y.

The membership is limited to students who are majoring in French, under classmen who have a certain scholastic standing in French, professors in the Department of Modern Languages, and a few friends who are very much interested in the language. The programs of the meetings are instructive and always entertaining. Members respond to the roll call with a French proverb, quotation, the name of a French musician, author or artist. The programs are presented by the student members. They speak of French authors, of their lives, works and attainments, of the French people and of their customs, and of various cultural phases of French life. Once or twice a year a short dramatic scene or resume of some great French play is presented. This year a new plan for preparing these programs has been intro- duced. The members of the club have been grouped in three committees. Each committee arranges and presents one program in each semester. In this way we hope to get original and helpful ideas and, above all, the enthusiastic co-operation of all the members. 98 Fire Department Carolyn Brinklev, Fire Chief Captains Anne Hairston Adelaide Winston Doris Shirley Martha Delaney Mary M.

There is a system of fire alarms in each building and a number of fire extinguish- ers in convenient places. There are, also, three fire hydrants stationed on different parts of the campus to be used by the city department. The officers of the department do not find it difficult to oversee fire drills, for the students are eager to co-operate with every rule. It is hoped to make this year the most successful one in the history of the depart- ment. 99 Jk 4n r r r I ■ fn fil n r| |lrf|r r JH ff f r I ,r| rtfn F if r r H r rf|r Hfr r r Hi P r Ho me Economics Club Officers Mary Miller Falkener President Carolyn Brinkley Vice-President Annie Koonce Sutton- Secretary Betsy Ross Treasurer The Home Economics Club, organized in 1921, has the distinction of being the oldest departmental club at Salem. Its membership is not confined to members of the department, but it includes all girls interested in home economics. One of the pur- poses of the club is to promote interest in home economics, and the programs which are arranged with this in view include outside speakers, student papers, and demon- strations. The club also works to improve the Practice House, and in order to make this possible, a Christmas bazaar is given each year. Meetings are held on the first Thursday evening of the month. The club has for some time been a member of the State Association and of the National Associa- tion of Home Economics. i i(44 U; 1 ' Hh 3 Mathematics Club Officers Selma Crews President Lucile Vest Vice-President Katharine Schlegel Secretary Margaret Smith Treasurer The Mathematics Club was organized in 1925 by a group of girls interested in the cultural and vocational aspects of mathematics. The membership is restricted to all upper classmen in- terested in mathematics, and to freshmen admitted on the scholarship basis. The programs at the monthly meetings are devoted to the study of those men who have made great contributions to mathematics, and to the study of the recent discoveries in this field. Each vear, as the club has developed, the entertainment has become more interesting and more diversified in subject. Although the Mathematics Club is a young organization, it has done some very interesting work, and, through the constant endeavor of each member, the standards of the club are being improved and developed. n r r i. r ° r .r rr Kr rr ' i-rrfrr ' lerrette PI avers Officers Mariox Bloor President Edith KiRkland Vice-President Millicent Ward Secretary Marjorie Siewers Treasurer Adelaide Winston Business Manager Lucy Clrrie Stage Manager The Pierrette Players, Salem ' s dramatic society, have had for their aim, these several years, the desire both to gain instruction in the art of drama and to give entertainment to the student body. Besides man) - minor public performances during the year, they present one major three-act play. At their meetings they direct and enact one-act plays and give readings concerning all phases of dramatic art. Students are admitted to this society on the basis of their ability, as shown in the semi-annual try-outs in October and February, and their scholastic standing. The fact that the membership is limited to twenty students, coupled with the excellence of the work the club has done in the past, makes it a distinct honor to be a ' Pierrette. s T? ■ Sigma O micron Alph pna Officers Grace Martin President Mary Brewer Vice-President Elva Lee Kenerlv Secretary and Treasurer Elizabeth Marx . . . Chairman of Program Committee Fritz Firev Literary Critic Isabelle Dunn Argumentative Critic Margaret Brennecke Parliamentarian Sigma Omicron Alpha is Salem ' s newest organization, a debating society, established in October, 1928. The purpose of this organization is to study the principles of debating, to further the presentation of formal argument, and to promote an interest in current problems — at the same time developing and improving the art of speaking. Being in its infancy, Sigma Omicron Alpha must needs be slow in its development, but it has already accomplished something of its purpose. During the presidential campaign it undertook its first public debate; the subject was: Resolved, That the Past Experience of Alfred E. Smith Makes Him Better Fitted for the Presidency Than Herbert Hoover. Since that time there have been various other public debates, and interesting programs have been presented at the club meetings. Sigma Omicron Alpha looks to greater plans and accomplishments in the future. 103 . — ' t :Pi.il r IS? mm 3(1 m JJhI i - V ■ ' • ' !

Since its beginning, the club has presented and sponsored programs of widely varied interest. Twice, once early in its history, and again in 1926, it presented Mrs. MacDowell to Salem audiences. On both occasions she gave delightful programs devoted to her husband ' s compositions. When the campaign for the college endowment was started, this club donated $500.00, and later contributed $100.00 to the living endowment fund. In 1922, the MacDowell Club bought a moving picture machine, and since that time the greater part of its series of entertainments has been movies, though programs consisting of plays or lectures are often presented. The club offers ten programs, which are distributed throughout the whole college year and are open to the entire college and academy groups, though membership is limited to the faculties, the college students, and the seniors in the academy. 104.

President Secretary Executive Committee Louisa Coi.eman, Chairman Rose Frasier Edna Linosey Since the organization of the Societas Scientiarum Salemensis, in 1924, it has been one of the most outstanding organizations on the campus. The main purpose of this society is to unite all girls at Salem who are interested in science and scientific research in some form of active scientific work. It is the custom of the club to arrange all program:, in such a manner that each member is given an opportunity to participate by giving demonstrations and talks. At various times during the year, lectures are given by outside speakers, and frequent trips are made to points of interest in Winston-Salem and in the eastern part of North Carolina. Members are accepted into this society on the basis of scholastic standing, character, and interest in the pursuit of scientific studies. The active membership consists of twenty-four members from the three upper classes, and honorary members include instructors in the science, the home economics, and the mathematics departments. 105 •jn ' ' i. nn P ' 1 Tfi ' plMlr History Club Officers Alice Eborn President Elizabeth Thomas Secretary and Treasurer Elva Lee Kenerly Chairman of Program Committee Although the History Club has been organized only six years, it has become one of the most active departmental clubs on the campus. It has for its purpose the study of history both past and present, and the presentation of phases of international, national, political, social, and economic life by the members of the club and by invited guests. The History Club is considered a part of the work of each student in this department, and therefore the membership of the club is limited to majors and minors and to those especially interested in the subject. The meetings of this organization are both informational and inter- esting, as the chairman of the program committee exercises much care in the formation of the various programs. The History Club chooses its speakers from the prominent men of the vicinity, the state, and often those of nation-wide reputation. The club does all in its power to create in its members an appreciation of the past and a vital interest in the civilization which they, as citizens, will help to make. 106 ■ Glee Club Officers Margaret Johnson President Dorothy Thompson Vice-President Millicent Ward Secretary Margaret Henderson Treasurer The Glee Club is made up of all students who are music majors, but any student who is interested may become a member. The aim of the club is to train girls in chorus singing and to prepare them to take part in programs arranged for special occasions throughout the year. In accordance with an old Salem custom, the club sing:, Christmas carols in the expanded chapel hours during Advent Season. The climax of the year ' s work comes with a concert performance which is given in the spring. The program is varied, ranging from en- semble selections to songs featuring individual, trio, and quartette work.

There he built his camp fires, slew the deer, and sang his war songs. But then there were none to hear save others of his own kind. How exciting it would have been if some of your ancestors and mine could have peeped out of the back windows of Main Hall, if there had been a Main Hall then, and could have listened to their stories and learned their songs. But instead of this we have only a few relics which remind us that the first settlers here were Indians. But the red man ' s possession of this land was not to last long, for in 1765 the Moravians chose a definite site near the center of Wachovia for the building of a new town, and took immediate action toward its founding, which drove away the Indians and cleared the land for the white settlers. Not intimidate d by the winter weather, on the cold morning of January 6, 1766, a company of twelve men set out from Bethania and Bethabara, carrying with them only their tools and a tent for shelter. When they reached the new site, the pioneers fell to clearing the land and built a log cabin. While working they sang hymns of joy, conscious of a supreme happiness in their new task. This town, which in 1766 had its earliest beginning, was soon given the name Salem, meaning peace. And from this village as a center, the Moravians, with their mis- sionary zeal, set out to Christianize the Indians and to help the whites who were living scattered about them with almost no religious guidance. The plans for the development of Salem had already been definitely decided upon before the first tree was cut. According to a custom brought with them from Ger- many, the Moravians laid nut an open square about which all the congregation houses were to be placed, and at the northwest corner they located the church. Two years later it was decided to move the square one block further south to the site where it stands today. Living in the log cabin which they had first erected, these sturdy men built their homes for the settlers, who, attracted by its growth, were moving into the little community. The Moravians, who came to Salem for Christian service, never once lost their religious fervor. Every day had its solemn worship and praise and fellowship. And from the beginning every Easter Sunday had its early morning service. This was held indoors until the first graves were made in God ' s Acre, and then it was held in the graveyard. How differ- ent from the scene of today, with its thousands of visitors, must have been those early ones, when only a small number of men and women gathered around the few lonely graves in the early morning. Yet it is interesting that from the first these services 125 ir-swr ' attracted the attention of people who lived around the Moravian community and to whom this custom was new. The development of industry was always an important phase of the growth of Salem. The church, governing civil as well as religious affairs, controlled both indus- try, saying what trades should be started, and land, leasing it but never losing possession of it. The early settlers were hard- working, and they started industries to provide for their fami- lies and for the community as a whole. By the end of the first year, brick-making, weaving, saddle-making, and gun-smithing were started, and the work of the masons and carpenters con- tinued, steadily building the town. Along with religion and industry, the early Moravians emphasized education. On April 30, 1772, Salem College had its birth in the beginning of a girls ' day school, with one teacher and two pupils. In the same year a day school for boys was started. This early recognition of the need of education, so characteristic of the Moravians since the beginning of the Unitas Fratrum, showed that there was something in their lives besides the physical toil of building up a town. This day school for girls began to grow, and kept ahead of any educational advantages offered anywhere else. In all the school work there was a definite object — to train the heart as well as the mind, and to inculcate a true and pure religion. The builders of Salem, in looking for a supply of water for the town, found a spring on the spot which is now Salem ' s lower campus. About 1778 a system of waterworks was put in which was entirely new in this period. Logs of pine-heart were brought, and holes bored their full length, changing them to pipes. The ends of these were fitted together, and the water was pumped to the town by means of a pump set up at this spring. And so this slow, - steady progress continued in every phase of life in the small community, until interrupted by the Revolutionary War. The history of Salem during the Revolution is a story of increasing hardships, great dangers, and new difficulties. The Moravians remained neutral in the war, because of their conscientious scruples against bearing arms, and thus placed themselves under suspicion from both sides. Several times it was rumored that they were rendering secret aid to the Tories, but in- vestigation each time showed this was false. On the other hand, the Moravians were helping the Continentalists as best they could through supplies. Although no actual fighting occurred in Salem, yet the community was in the very theater of the war, and the citizens, only about two hundred in number, suf- fered a great deal at the hands of marauders and plunderers. There was a constant going «nd coming through Salem. Numbers and numbers of Continental troops came 126 through and had to he fed. Tories threatened to destroy the town, and the British foraged everywhere. In 1782 an army of seven thousand men, under the personal command of Lord Cornwallis, marched into Wachovia. The army, under strict orders, marched into Salem and up the main street to the square. The people of the little village were helpless and had to furnish the troops with supplies. Camping near Salem, the soldiers scattered through the whole country and committed much violence. When the British troops finally passed on, the citizens of the quiet little community felt a great relief that the town had escaped complete destruction. But the trouble was not yet at an end. The darkest and most dreadful day of the war was February 17, 1781. On that day seven hundred rough, wild men were in Salem. They plundered and destroyed without restraint, and the citizens lost all hope. After this violence, however, protection was given to Salem, and the crisis was passed. During the whole time of the war, wounded soldiers were brought from the battlefield to Salem, and there cared for and nursed in the hospital. In addition to this help, the Moravians supplied a remarkable amount of provisions to the American troops from the beginning of the war until the stragglers from the last battle had passed. After peace preliminaries were signed, on July 7, 1783, the people of Salem cele- brated a day of rejoicing, and it was with a feeling of gratitude that they prepared an elaborate program for the occasion. After several disastrous fires, in 1 781 two fire engines were ordered from Ger- many, a large one on wheels and a smaller one carried by hand. When tried, both were found to throw water above the highest building in the town. In 1791, President Washington visited Salem while on his Southern tour. Salem was then only a small village. A night watchman walked through the candle-lit streets and called out the hours of the night. It was just a usual little town, but Washington was very interested in its history and in the life of the citizens. -i. As he approached the town, the President was greeted with music. In his coach he rode up to the old Salem Tavern, and there f warmly greeted the citizens. From then until his departure, two days later, he was the guest of the community. He congratulated the people on their business success, and especially expressed his pleasure with the system of waterworks. His visit was quite an occasion for the little town, and the citizens were deeply impressed with their President. About 1800 the curriculum offered by the girls ' school in Salem was simple, yet it was ahead of that offered by any other girls ' school. Anxious that their daughters might share the same educational advantages as the Salem girls, many parents re- 127 Yr Hnrl |fr quested that a boarding school be started in connection with the day school. The deci- sion was reached in 1802 to establish the boarding division, and in 1804. the first out-of- town pupils arrived. The day school and boarding school were conducted separately until 1810, when the two were merged. The first newspaper published in Salem was The Weekly Gleaner, issued for the first time on January 6. 1828. This little paper, printed and pub- lished every Tuesday morning, contained something of everything in its four pages. The style of writing was entirely according to an- cient newspaper rules. There was a tendency to moralize on nearly every subject, and to put editorial opinion into the stories. The little paper, a weak attempt at journalism, was printed on the old Corn- wallis Press, and was done at the expense of great time and labor. Communication with the outside world had always been a prob- lem in Salem. First horseback was the only means of travel, and then came the days of the private coach. Finally, about the middle of the nineteenth century, a stage coach, named the Hattie Clemmons. was run between Salem and High Point. The coach had no horn, but announced its arrival with a loud trumpet. Running every day between the two towns, it made possible quicker and easier connection with the neighboring communities. The citizens were very interested in the new line of travel, and it continued until about 1872 or ' 73, when railroad con- nection was completed from Greensboro. The girls who came to Salem Female Academy also had a great deal of trouble in trying to reach Salem. Many came on horseback, some in large family coaches, and some on the Hattie Clemmons Coach. When Salem was reached, the girls ' horses were sold, and their saddles stored away for the return journey in the spring. At commencement, the yards of the college were filled with coaches, the stables with horses, and excitement took possession of the usually quiet town. The Academv, during all this period, was constantly raising its educational standards, which kept far beyond those of any similar institu- tion. In 1 86 1, when the Civil War broke out, the Moravians had lost all scruples against fighting, and the young men in Salem joined ranks with the Confederate army. During the months of preparation, the white tents of the encampment gave a martial appearance to the town. When three com- panies marched out from Salem, they were presented with Confederate flags made for them by five young ladies of the community. The men who stayed behind worked faithfully to keep up the industries, while the women sewed and knitted for those who had gone to the front. Life in the com- munity was no longer quiet and natural. Rumors of the Yankees and their cruelty 5Tlfl 3!£ reached the ears of the people, and there was a feeling of desperation as the line of battle moved slowly nearer. The Yankees are coming! This alarm was sounded, and the people began to prepare for the invasion. They put on all the clothes they could, and buried their valuable possessions. Horses were taken to unfrequented places and kept until the army had passed. Two fine black horses which belonged to the school were placed in the basement of Main Hall and thus saved. As the enemy approached the town, an offi- cial delegation went out to meet General Pal- mer, before he entered Salem, surrendered the town, and asked for protection for the school. This was accorded, and on the afternoon of April 6, 1865, the brigade marched into the town. Expecting to meet a Confederate troop, the soldiers set up breastworks across Salem Hill, leaving only one road open. Then when night came, the camp fires, built along the barriers and stretching all the way across the hill, reminded the Salem people that the town was in the hands of the enemy. Contrary to the numerous reports about the Yankees, they did little harm while in Salem, and the t own suffered almost none. On Marshall Street there was a com- missary in which supplies for the Confederate troops were kept. This the Yankees forced the people to empty, and bolts and bolts of material were carried from it into the homes and stacked up. A tablet today marks the spot where this building stood, they did little harm while in Salem, and the town suffered almost none. On Marshall Street there was a commissary in which supplies for the Confederate troops were kept. This the Yankees forced the people to empty, and bolts and bolts of material were car- ried from it into the homes and stacked up. A tablet today marks the spot where this building stood. Except for the sound of the troops marching down Main Street, one would hardly have realized that about three thousand soldiers were passing through. Citizens, peeping from their windows, watched them as they marched by. The story is told that one young lady, when a soldier threw a kiss at her as she stood in the window, washed her face at once, feeling that she had been insulted. The troops marched straight on through and left the town. And so, during their short stay, they proved to these loyal Confederates that there were gentlemen among the Yankees as well as among the Southern troops. Salem Female Academy, during the war, was crowded with girls who were sent there for protection, and it is not hard to imagine the thrills and excitement among these girls, something over two hundred in number, while the €0£ v£HQ% enemy ' s troops were in town. Yet with guards protecting the school, classes went on as usual. Salem ' s suffering did not end with the close of the Civil War, for the days of Reconstruction were to follow. It was a time of hardship, due to the shattered eco- nomic conditions, and the citizens of Salem struggled hard to bring the town back to the growing community it had been before the war. Business was dull, money was scarce, and everything was slow. The schools suffered, too, and conditions were grave in the Academy, although the students were never in actual want, because of Governor Vance ' s help in getting supplies. It was hard to get enough money to pay the faculty, and at one time they were paid in shoes. Many of the girls ' parents paid their tuition in cattle, because of the scarcity of money. Yet through it all Salem never once stopped work, but kept its doors open during the darkest days of the struggle. It was practically the only school for girls in the South at this time, and the opportunities offered by it were found nowhere else. Finally the crisis was past, and from the suffering and anxiety of the Civil War and the hardships of the Reconstruction, Salem emerged a stronger town with wider business relations and renewed interest in public affairs. The community awoke to a day of faster growth and a period of prosperity lay ahead. Several years before the Civil War. Salem witnessed the beginning of a new town nearby, which was to grow up along with the Moravian community until the two should be united as one city. In 1849. the Moravians sold a tract of land just north of Salem to the new Forsythe County for the erection of a county seat. In the center of the new site a square was laid off on which the first courthouse was built. Thus, centrally located, the old building saw the gradual development of the new industrial town, which was given the name of Winston, in honor of Major Winston, a promi- nent leader in the Revolutionary War. The story of Winston has been mainly a story of rapid industrial growth. This development began with the founding of the Richard J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, in 1875, when Mr. Reynolds, with only a small capital, began to manufacture plug tobacco. That industry has grown from the first little red factory, with a capital of 525,000, to an industry today with a capital of about $100,000,000. Realizing that to attract settlers to the new town there must be a diversity of industries, other lines of business were started : the manufacture of furniture, knit under- wear, blankets, hosiery, and others. The builders of Win- ston caught the spirit of Salem people, who counted lazi- ness a disgrace, and by local initiative and effort built up a city which was later to become one of the leading industrial cities in the United States. - 130 About 1875, both Winston and Salem faced a new era in their development. With the completion of the Winston-Greensboro Railway line a new impetus was given to business enterprises. The tobacco industry, along with other smaller ones, attracted many to the town, and the population increased rapidly. In Salem the pre-war system of business, in which each man carried on his own trade in his own workshop, was replaced by organized industries. Among the first of these were the Salem Iron Works, and the Fries cotton and woolen mills. Early in the ' 90s, Winston put electric street cars in operation. It is thought that this was the second electric street railway system in the world, and it is known that New York City did not have one until several years later. The first appearance of these new vehicles gave the Win- ston people quite a thrill, and they crowded the cars for pleasure rides. When a fire alarm was turned in, every car on the system went immediately to the square, got the people who wanted to see the fire, and raced off after the engine. But as the town grew, the service was gradually altered to meet the changing standards. Winston and Salem offered something to the leisure class as well as to the working class. In 1898, the first golf club was started, and in spite of the cows that were so constantly getting in the way of the players it was a great sport even in the earliest days. As both Winston and Salem extended their territory and gradually grew closer together, a movement was put on foot to unite the two as one city. At first there was a great deal of opposition to this, especially among some of the Moravians, who wanted to keep Salem distinctly a Moravian community. But finally, in 191 3, the two were consolidated by the vote of the people, although for some years prior Winston and Salem had been known as the Twin City. Thus the two communities, so different in purpose and spirit at their founding, were united. Salem, emphasizing religion, education, and culture; Winston, emphasizing industrial development — each caught the spirit of the other, and both contributed their part toward making the Twin City what it is today. Winston-Salem, along with its interesting and unusual past, today has an equally interesting and unusual present, and in the midst of its progress has maintained the same ideals and tendencies which existed at the beginning of the two towns. Winston-Salem ' s rapid growth has given it a place along with the leading cities of the United States, and today it stands thirty-eighth among the great industrial cities of this country. Winston-Salem is the world ' s to- bacco metropolis, more manufactured tobacco b eing made here than in any other city in the world. The Richard J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, started in 1875, produces approximately one hundred and fifty million cigarettes daily. A new twenty-two story office building, together with the completion of two large factory buildings, means a further growth of the tobacco industry in this city and a continued leadership of the Twin City. But Winston-Salem ' s industrial growth has not been dependent entirely upon her tobacco industry. It is the heme of the largest heavy-knit underwear mill in the United States. In the manufacture of furniture it ranks high, and in the production of hosiery and blankets it takes its place among the leading centers of these particular industries. Sixty-five diversified commodities are produced by the fac- tories of Winston-Salem, and in the entire factory output this city is preceded in the South only by Baltimore. All this evidence of activity reminds one of the early days of both Winston and Salem, which each man had his own trade and everybody worked. To meet the industrial expansion of Winston-Salem a great deal of money has been spent in connecting the city with outside points, and the result has been that the city has become a retail and distributing center. And today it is the greatest inland port in the nation. Three railways make transportation in and out of Winston-Salem both quick and easy. Miles and miles of hard-surface roads and bus connections make the city the natural center of the surrounding territory. These connections, railroad, bus, and highway, almost any town has to a certain extent. Where Winston-Salem has gone ahead is in the erection of an airport. With her usual quickness in responding to progressive measures, she was one of the first cities to recognize the importance of an airport. And today her port, fully equipped, is one of the best in the South. One here can see the progress in transportation facilities that has taken place since the early days of old Salem, when the Hattie Clemmons Coach was the only means of connection with the outside world. Winston-Salem, with its large population, manifold industries, and adequate trans- portation facilities, has all the appearance of a modern city. Her present building pro- gram surpasses all records. A new City Hall, a five-story de- partment store, a union station, Reynolds ' office building, a three-thousand-seat theater have just been built, to say nothing of the many buildings of smaller size just completed and in the process of erection. Keeping pace with the city ' s grow- ing population, modern apartment houses are finding their place in the building program. The new residential sections, Buena Vista, and Country Club Estate, meet the demands of this ever-growing community. The beautiful estates, the cozy bungalows, the well-kept park areas, more and more make Winston-Salem a city of homes as well as a great industrial city. With the old Salem Square, surrounded by the buildings of the College, repre- 132 ifpf llnH |l senting the beauty and charm of old Salem, Winston has built handsome commercial and public buildings, thus bringing together, in striking and beautiful contrast, the past and present. Winston-Salem is known extensively for its educational advantages. Its public school system, with a total of thirteen white schools, is the best in the state. The high school, a school of great beauty, includes a well-equipped plant, a gymnasium, a seven hundred and fifty thousand dollar auditorium, a large athletic field, and ample space for additional buildings. Two hundred and fifty acres of playgrounds surround the schools of the city, and they are used twelve months in the year. Salem College, a great cultural force in community life, is an A-grade college, and has the distinction of being the oldest girls ' school in the South. This interest in education goes back to the days in 1772, when Salem Female Academy was started as soon as there were any girls to teach. Winston-Salem is a church city, in which there is a church for every factory. The rapid growth of the city has resulted in the erection of beautiful church buildings on the part of many congregations. One can see here a survival of the interest of the early Moravians in their church, which they built as soon as their community was settled. The Moravian Easter celebration, one of the most impressive of the Moravian Church services, each year brings thousands of pil- grims to Winston-Salem to join in the celebration. The old ivy-covered church, the echoing of the bands, the graveyard, so beautiful in the lights of the rising sun — all of these fill the pilgrim with a feeling of awe and reverence, and enable him to catch the spirit of the Moravians. If then, Winston-Salem might be called a religious city, it is a survival of the reality and importance of religion to the early settlers of Salem, a com- munity founded by a religious people for a religious purpose. One thing by which a city is judged, and which gives it a right to exist, is whether or not it offers something to its citizens which helps them to live a fuller life and to have some interest besides their work. Winston- Salem has always been a city of culture. Since 1772, Salem Col- lege has been the center of this culture, and through its work with girls of the College, as well as through its contributions to the com- munity, it still stands as the most i nfluential force for culture in the city. In addition to the College, today there is the Fine Arts Foundation, started primarily to interest high school students in the more cultural things of life, which brings to the city speakers and lecturers of national prominence. The Civic Music Commis- sion sponsors operas and other worthwhile entertainments. It also conducts a Civic Summer School of Music, which each summer draws musicians from nearly every state in the Union. This interest in the cultural side of life, and a love of 133 music arc inherent and remind one of the pioneer settlers of Salem, who, in spite of the necessary toil of building up the town, maintained for themselves other interests and activities which kept all drudgery and narrowness from lives. To us the center of all this activity and progress is Salem College. As we look out of the windows of Main Hall, for there is a Main Hall now, it is not the Indian and his wigwam that we see, but in their place a College, rich in beautiful traditions and happy in a past of long and useful service; a College which trains the heart and soul as well as the mind, thus carrying on into the future the work and ideals of its founders and pioneer leaders. ' 34 £?¥$ . ' $ Hat Burning Senior Hat-Buring has long been a tra- dition at Salem, representative of the achievement of womanhood and of dis- carding of frivolous girlhood. This year the beautiful and impressive cere- mony was enacted as usual on upper campus, and was preceded by a pag- eant symbolizing the Seniors ' attain- ment of womanly virtues. The de- lightful little play formed a preamble to the Senior procession with the Sopho- more pages carrying caps and gowns. After the Seniors had cast into the fire the emblems of each class year, they re- ceived their caps and gowns from Dr. Rond thaler, who spoke to them in a few words. The ceremony was closed with the singing nf the Alma Mater. 135 i 3 6 §56 ' I ■SB i r r r r- Sophomore Week Sophomore Week ahvays affords entertainment on the campus. This year, as usual, the new girls were good sports, regardless of the many ridiculous stunts they were forced to perform. These snapshots allow everybody to enjoy some of the scenes taken during Freshman initi- ation. Sophomore Week allowed us the chance to see the Freshmen without their fine feathers, and such birds as some were! The free en- tertainment afforded by the Fresh- men every night at Sophomore Court portrayed to the student body rare talent on the part of the new girls, in music, dancing, athletics, oratory, and — well — whatever it oc- curred to the upperclassmen to re- quire of them. May these snapshops remind you, Class of ' 32, of your once humble state. 138 139 14° Sftlfo To the Student Body CHE 1928-29 Sights and Insights marks the close of another collegiate year. We wake at the thought, but we seem not to comprehend that another day has dawned. We merely sit and marvel at the progress that has been made, while we wonder at the future and what it will bring. Neither can this edition of Sights and Insights fully portray the real glory of our Alma Mater nor can it transmit a perfect account of the work that has been done, but it can reveal in part the lives of those persons who constitute Salem. Carry- ing into the future the spirit that has made the Salem of today, we can visualize what this college will be when larger funds and better equip- ment have been provided. By the aid of our vivid imaginations, coupled with our prophetic abilities, we have conceived of Salem ' s future campus. We see it enlarged and provided with a new gymnasium, an eighteen- hole golf course, many beautiful bridle paths, a little theater, and — well, for those who are not visual-minded enough to imagine the rest, the sketch has been provided.

In in- dustry it has multiplied our man-power and tre- mendously increased the efficiency and output of our mills, factories, and shops. The use of electrical appliances makes possible the same revolution in the home. The energy of the housewife can be conserved and house- work done much more efficiently as well as more easily through the use of these appliances. Every housewife owes it to herself to investi- gate these appliances and make her home mod- ern and comfortable by installing these essen- tials to good housekeeping as rapidly as pos- sible.
