Salem is “going some” these days. Formerly we could hardly squeeze out an issue of our monthly publication twice a year. Now we have a news paper that comes out every two weeks and—what! Here’s an Extra! What to do with this Salemite— But a safety vault for it— BECAUSE 1. It is the only collection of Salem songs available for everyday use. 2. You will need it at the banquet Thanksgiving night. 3. You’ll be sorry if you’re found without it in chapel Friday morning. 4. It will have many uses in the future. 5. You’ll want to treasure it. You are advised to secure extra copies of The Salemite from Eliza beth Gillespie, ’22. It’s good as a ten- page letter home. WELCOME TO YOU, ALUMNAE! You are one of the chief blessings we have, and we are thankful for your presence today. Just forget that you’ve been out in the world, and be still a Salem girl, along with us. “The place is so changed” you say. We hope so. We’re trymg to make it better every day. But we cling to and love the good old Salem traits just as you do, and we think you’ll find that Salem is really just the same. SALEM COLLEGE SONGS ALMA MATER In the midst of rolling woodlands, 'Neath fair skies of blue. Stands our noble Alma Mater, Glorious to view. Chorus: Lift the chorus, speed it onward. Over vale and hill. Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail, all hail to thee! Let the chorus swell its anthem Far and loud and long, Salem College and her glory Ever be our song. Though from her our paths may sever, And we, distant roam. Still abides the memory ever Of our college home. BLEST ALMA MATER VTo Salem’s honored history We sing in songs of praise. As a true pledge of loyalty Our tuneful chorus raise. Chorus Blest Alma Mater, Gladly thy name we sing Hail! hail to Salem! Myriad echoes ring. Old Salem may thy future grow More glorious year by year. Thy simple faith of long ago Be ever nurtured here. SENIOR ROBING SONG (“Ancient of Days”) Knights of the king who lived so long ago. Won not their armor save by watch and prayer, And doughty deeds performed for truth and goodness; We have our armor proved by deeds as fair. We are not knights and our time is the present, But we are part of the world’s student throng, Who reach out loving, eager hands for service, Who still believe right triumphs over wrong. We are not knights but we have kept our vigil; Long have we worked and played in these loved halls. Our girlhood we have given our Alma Mater, For strong young 'womanhood the world now calls. Our Senior robes are symbols of the armor With which we gird ourselves for victory. Proudly we don them, humbly will we wear them. Conscious their meaning is—World Loyalty. MISS MARGARET HAGAN. SALEM MARCHING SONG Honored in song and story Fairest of queens, to thee, Higher, far higher glory. And nobler praise shall be. Thine be’ the cheerful chorus Which rises through the skies. Ringing, while still before us. Thy future glory lies. Hurrah! Chorus: Then be the honor ever To Salem dear alone; She reigns supreme, and never Shal leave her ancient throne. Clearer, as seasons vanish Glitters her spotless fame; Years pass and never waneth The glory of her name. And as of old we’ve crowned her With wreaths of woven bay. Cast we once more around her The laurels won today.
