THE SALEMITE
YE ORANGE CANDLE WAFFLE
SHOP
Should George Washington return
to Salem in 1921 for a second visit ne
would naturally expect to find things
greatly changed. No doubt he would
be amazed if he were invited to make
his headquarters in the same building
in which he stopped during his first
visit to Salem so long ago.
Of course the next place he would
visit in Salem would be the college.
And you can imagine the queer,
strange sensations that would surge
through him as he would walk up
Church street toward Main building.
Salem College is typically modem.
He would be a representative of the
good old colonial days.
Then suddenly, as if dropped from
the skies, he would notice this quaint
little sign, “Ye Orange Candle Waffle
Shop”, before a cottage typical of
revolutionary days. He would breathe
a sigh of relief. Salem hadn’t alto
gether changed.
The fii'st thing that would attract
Washington’s attention as he entered
through the little brown door would
be the cozy green covered box seats
on each side of the cheerful fire burn
ing on a tiny hearth. He would look
at the little orange candles in the blue
sticks on the mantle, the dainty orange
curtains and brown draperies at the
windows and note how artistically they
blended with the cool buff color of the
walls. He would look through a side
door into an adjoining room and see
three inviting brown tables covered
with blue table-cloths and each one set
for four people. The surroundings
might prove to be so tempting that
Washington might even have a seat at
one of these tables and be sei-ved a
sample of every delicacy on the reg
ular menu: delicious waffles, tea with
buttered toast, hot chocolate with pure
cream, and coffee.
Even though Washington would
take this little shop to be the oldest
landmark at Salem, in reality it is our
“most modern convenience.” It is
open every afternoon from four to six
o’clock, and all of Saturday afternoon
till ten o’clock at night. There are al
ways several “extras” on the Bill-of-
Fare, for “outsiders” are always wel
come.
Salem is proud of this addition to
he rcampus and we hope that it will
continue to be patronized in the future
as it has been these last two weeks.

I WHAT AN OLD SALEM GIRL
' IS DOING I
j The following is an article from the
I last “Musical Courier” which will be
' of interest to us all. “An audience
which taxed the capacity of Aeolian
Hall turned out to hear Dicie Howell
for her recital on Feb. 7, and gave her
a reception that was as sincere as it
was flattering. The perfect clarity
and purity of Miss Howell’s voice was
a genuine delight and the manifest
musicanship with which she interpret
ed her attractively arranged program
must have given pleasure to the most
fastidious listener. There was much
variety of tone color and a subtle light
ness of magnetism and one might say
good humor that was altogether
charming.”
ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS THE
A1 GOAL
The Juniors of Salem College have
accepted and adopted, with the vote of
the under-classmen, the present senior
ring as a standard ring for Salem
College.
If Salem is to be recognized as an
A1 college, then she should be repre
sented by an A1 ring. From now on
we hope the wearer of this handsome
ring will be known as one holding a
diploma or a degree from Salem
College.
Dear Alumnae, we are proud of you.
May you, too, be equally as porud of
the future alumnae who will wear as a
symbol the beloved coat-of-arms of
your cherished Alma Mater.

FOOD FOR SALE
Did you come to the last “Food
Sale” in junior room company? If
you didn’t, you missed a treat.
Watch for the notice of the next one
and come prepared to find anything
that comes under the name of “good
eats.” Fried chicken is always a
specialty at these sales.
“SENIOR DINNER A MERRY
AFFAIR”
(From Winston-Salem Journal)
On Saturday evening, Febmary 12,
Dr. H. E. Rondthaler and Mrs. Rond-
thaler entertained at an elaborate pro
gressive dinner in honor of the class
of ’21.
The guests were welcomed at the
main college entrance by the college
faculty, and the guests of honor.
Escorted by the seniors, the guests
then formed a gay procesion, passing
through the college halls and porches
which were ablaze with valentine
colors—red and black, which were the
class colors as well.
.An eight-course dinner was served
at eighteen small tables and each
guest was presented with a huge red
heart, noting the progressions betw^n
I each course. The favors were tiny
! dolls dressed in academic cap and
I gown. Throughout the dinner there
I was much merriment and at the close
! the seniors grouped themselves
‘ait)und the piano and sang their col
lege songs.
Miss Alice Smith, of Atlanta, Ga.,
and Miss Mildred Barnes, of Wilson,
N. C., both members of the freshman
I class, rendered very delightful musical
' selections during the dinner.
Besides the senior class, Misses
Paulina Taylor, Nancy Hankins and
Alimae Temple, graduates of the
music department were also guests of
honor.
MILK WEEK
The Domestic Science Department
of Salem College took an active part
in the milk campaign which was con
ducted in Win.ston-Salem under the
direction of the State and Federal S^y-
ernment. This campaign was of a
purely education nature; its chief aim
was to give the people of the com
munity an idea of the wonderful value
of milk in promoting health, thereby
improving economic and social condi
tions. Each afternoon during “Milk
Week” public demonstrations were
given at the S. P. U. Co. by pupils of
the Salem College Domestic Science
Department. The girls prepared
drinks and dishes in which milk could
be used and showed the food value de
rived from each. “All authorities are
agreed that more milk in the diet is
necessary, not only to insure proper
growth and development in children
but to maintain health in adults.” Use
more milk for health’s sake! It is
more nutritious than even meat.
Winston-Salem is to be complimented
for being the first city in North Caro
lina to put on a milk campaign and
Salem College is glad to lend a hand
in this noble and much needed under
taking.

Goldsboro. The auditorium wa.s pack
ed and the plays were well received oy
the audiences at both performances.
The first play presented was Ine
Miser”, a tragedy of domestic difficul
ties resulting from the conflict of
farm and mill. The second of the
series of plays was “The Vamp , a
comedy skit dealing with the heart
