THE SALEMITE
WITH THE OTHER COLLEGES
BASEBALL AT WAKE FOREST
Wake Forest, April 10.—The past
week has been one of continued base
ball interest for Wake Forest. On
Monday, a twelve inning game was
played with State College in Raleigh
with a tie score of 3-3. Tuesday saw
the defeat of State by a 1-0 score at
Wake Forest. Wofford fell an easy
victim on Wednesday by a score of 6-4.
On Thursday, she again went down be
fore the Old Gold and Black warriors
to the tune of 12 to 3. Much interest
is being taken in the games and hope
of the State championship is high.

mass meeting, the editor-in-chief and
business manager of the Carolinian

Y. W. C. A. Council Meets at
N. C. C. W.
The Cabinet Training Council of
Winthrop and N. C. C. W. met at N. C.
College April 6-9. At the same time a
similar council with representatives
from Trinity, Salem, and Meredith
was held at Greensboro College. The
two councils joined together in their
most important sessions, part of which
were held at Greensboro College and
part at N. C. College. Several lead
ers in the National Y. W. C. A. were
at this council. Of these the students
at N. C. College had the privilege of
hearing Miss Burner at chapel, Wed
nesday, and Miss Ruffin, of the col
ored Y. W. C. A., on Friday.
The presentation of “Twelfth Night”
by the North Carolina College Drama
tic Club on April 2 was very success
ful. Aside from the unusually skill
ful acting the superb costuming added
much to this play. Much of the credit
for the success of the play is due to
Mr. R. H. Thornton, of the English
department in his work as coach.

Agricultural Club to Hold Faculty
Debate
Raleigh, N. C.
On April 12th, the Agricultural
Club will hold its annual faculty de
bate. The query is, resolved: That it
is worse for a giraffe to have a sore
throat than for a milliped to have
corns on it’s feet. For the affirma

Taylor, while Professors Wolfe, Wells
and Newman will uphold the negative.
This affair is looked forward to by all
of the members of the Club.

Skelton Williams to be the commence
ment speaker this year. Mr. Williams
has not indicated whether or not he
can accept.
Athletic News
April showers were disastrous to
the track meet to have been held here
Friday, April 8th, with Davidson.
“Runt” Faucette, our first baseman,
and captain of next year’s football
team, had the misfortune to break his
ankle while sliding to third in the
game with Elon the 7th. He was
taken to the Burlington hospital, and
his leg placed in a cast. We will miss
“Kunt” on the team as he is one of
oar best players.
The faculty defeated the freshmen
by a score of 8-2. The game was con
spicuous for its errors. The batteries
tor the freshmen were Harkey and
King, for faculty Leddy and Hill.

A Salem Prophecy
As from old Salem’s gates they turn.
With one accord, the freshmen spurn
The thought that they will e’er return
Within those portals. “Ne’er hereafter
Will we come back! (Unless we
hafter.”
They all orate in voice bombastic.
Yet in the fall with mien scholastic.
They’ll toddle back with step elastic.
Their attitudes are quite soph’moric
They all hold forth in terms caloric!
We, wretched freshmen, view the
campus,
Unknowing, as the soph’mores lamp
us.
If they intend to kill or vamp us.
Through tears we view the scenes be
fore us.
The while our faithless friends ignore
us.
Ah! Cruel fate that from home tore
us!
Envoi
’Twas ever thus. Today’s soph’more
Is on the scene. Those troops galore
Of erst-while Freshmen are no more.

JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM. PLANNED
Gala Event of the Spring at Hand.
In the spring, a Junior’s fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of proms.
And this spring has been no exception
to any other, though I do believe this
is only the second prom, for Salem.
Never you mind, once a good habit is
formed at Salem on it marches. And
the Junior-Senior prom is to come off
soon, very soon, indeed; it is to be
Saturday, May 7, just three short
weeks. At eight o’clock that night,
Salem campus will be thronged with
handsome men and lovely girls in eve
ning dress. There are to be soft
lights, wonderful music, flowers, and
last but never least, Salem back cam
pus and a full moon. Why aren’t we
all juniors and seniors? Well, we most
are; for all we hear concerns men, re
freshments, wonderful music, and
spring.
EXCHANGES
Maroon and Gold: Next year Elon
will have a course in “Practical Teach
ing and Observation Work” for
seniors. Any student taking such a
course will be granted credits toward
the degree for which she is studying.
Old Gold and Black: Your base ball
schedule is unquestionably interesting
and we’ll be watching for results.
Here’s wishing you luck in all the
games!
Tar Heel: Your Easter dances were
evidently a great success. At least,
from all reports, they seem to have
been well attended and old Carolina’s
hall must seem rather empty since the
departure of the numerous fair.
The Mirror: We especially notice the
splendid progress of your Y. W. C. A.
and the inspirational series of meet
ings held during Lent. This phase of
college life is one too often neglected
and we think the fine work you are
doing is much to your credit.
I’ll sing you a song, entitled, “He
said he craved a biscuit,”; and the cur
tain came down with a roll.
