Salem Presents The Boyfriend y When the lights came on on the evening of November 7 for the first performance of The Boyfriend , the house was full. People were standing in the doorways and sitting in the aisles in order to view the performance. The Pierette cast and crew worked many long hours in order to achieve the degree of superior quality which was exemplified in their performances on November 7 and 8. Weeks of labor went into preparing the sets, devising the costumes, and learning lines, dance routines and musical numbers. Both performances drew a full house, and were enjoyed by all. The dance routines and musical numbers were verv well executed. (above right) The cast of The Boyfriend practice diligently before their performance.

Thanksgiving at Salem The Epicure staff prepared a wonderful dinner for Thanksgiving this year. Served buffet style, students and faculty feasted on a meal more than fit for a Pilgrim. Everyone was dressed in holiday finery to eat turkey, roast beef, stuffing, homemade rolls, pumpkin pie, and many other delica- cies. Thanksgiving dinner is a time to realize and appreciate all of the wonderful things in our life. More important than the material things in life, which we so often take for granted, we can be thankful for the special lifetime friendships that we culti- vate here at Salem. The dinner held here in honor of Thanksgiving this year gave us all a chance to reflect on the aspects of our life which we so often take for granted in our hurried world, and to relax and enjoy the company of good friends and good food. ■ ; (top right) Seniors enjoy their last Thanksgiving at Salem.

Christmas at Salem College Christmas at Salem is a time for festivi- ties, tradition, and closeness among friends. The festivities began this year with the delicious Christmas dinner and tree lighting on December 2. The epicure staff worked diligently to prepare a sumptuous dinner for us. On December 3, Dr. James Boeringer held a dramatic candlelight reading of A Christmas Carol. Keeping with tradition, the senior classed joined together to trim the red paper for the candles to be used at the Candlelight Service on December 5. The Candlelight Service is the height of the Christmas season at Salem. This year, Salem ' s music department put on a beautiful concert to accompany the service. Performers in the concert in- cluded members of the Chorale, the Salem Boy ' s Choir, and the Chamber Choir. Following the concert was the annual Candlelight service, which was extremely inspiring. The service encouraged us to come closer together as a community to celebrate this special time of the year. mm (upper left) Tricia Pounds, Martha Hart, Suzanne Smith, Annette McNeely show some Christmas spirit from Bitting Dorm.
