HERE’S AN UNEXPECTED
PLEASURE
On Tuesday evening, February the
fifteenth, the Davidson College Glee
C-ub will give a concert in Memorial
Hall.
There is nothing Salem girls enjoy
more than visits from other college
glee clubs; so you’ll be delighted at
this announcement.
This is the first time we have been
honored with a visit from the David
son Glee Club in a long time. On
Tuesday night let’s show them we are
delighted to have them and “can hard
ly wait” for them to come back again,
by having a hundred per cent Salem
College representation in Memorial
Hall.
Why not adopt as your watchword
for the remainder of this school year,
“Give to the world the best you have
and the best will come back to you.”

Journal.)
Yesterday marked the third meeting
of the Alumnae Association of Salem
College in connection with Salem Day.
The session was held in the library of
I the college, and was marked by every
manifestation of enthusiasm and gen
erous interest. Mrs. Bess Gray Plum-
ly, president of the association, pre
sided.
After the singing of the Alma
Mater, Mrs. Rondthaler made a brief
talk of welcome to the alumnae, in
Which she made references to the girls
now in charge. Her remarks were fol-
I lowed by a piano solo by Miss Amy
'Van Vleck.
Greetings were read from Miss Leh
man, who was unable to be present
and sent to Miss Lou Shaffner, who
was also absent.
j^'ollowing a solo by Miss Margaret
Mae Thompson, the following officers
were elected for the coming year; Mrs.
Everett Lockett, president; Mrs. Bess
Gray I’lumley, vice-president; Mrs. J.
I. Singletary, secretary; Mrs. S.
Douglas Craig, treasurer.
Before the program closed the
“beautiful ghosts” of a Principal of
Salem in the long ago and of Salem
girls tnrough the generations passed
before and later mingled v.ith the
i company. Rhymes for each appear-
j ance, written by Miss Ida Hinshaw’,
j were read by Miss Katherine Graham.
I Mr. Emile deSchweinitz, first prin-
I cipal of the school in the days when it
I existed for “females”, was first to ap
pear. All were surprised to leam that
the personage was Miss Elizabeth
Rondthaler.
In succession came girls of 1840,
’50, '61, ’70, and so on until Miss Doro
thy Gregory triumphed as the healthy,
w^ell rounded, poised girl of 1921, clad
in attractive sport costume. Back of
these girls of yesterday loomed the
great fhadow of the college. As it has
stood, it now stands, and there are
many reasons why it must continue to
stand.
Impersonations were made by
Misses Elizabeth Griffin, Emily Moye,
Hettie Bethea, Helen Brown, Mary
Darden, Fay Roberts, Dorothy Ses-
soms, Alice Smith, Maggie May Rob
bins, Virginia Arthur, Mary Clark,
Frances Leach, Dorothy Gregory,
Louise Cooke, Gertrude Coble, Maude
Bissinger, Marion Cooper, and Evelyn
Thom.
Mrs. Walter Hege sang songs as be
fitted the year represented by the.cos
tumes.
At the close of the program a de
lightful salad course was served, and
a charming social hour spent.
