need heads of organizations to carry
out the details of the work, but the
lexers need the student body to keep
alive that spirit which has meant so
much in the life of Salem in former
years.
A WORD TO THE WISE.
The poet sings of trees and things,
In looking over the things accom
plished by the Salemite during this
last year, we find that we owe much
to the outgoing staff for the many
stable improvements which have been
made. Miss Jordan, the editor, has
done a great deal to put the paper on
a firm b^asis, to extend its appeal and
to raise it to ever higher ideals. She
with her helpers, has worked day by
day over thankless tasks, and it is
only now that the result of that faith
ful work is fully seen.
One big step which has been made is
that of having the paper edited reg
ularly every week. This accomplish
ment alone has done a great deal to
put the paper on a firmer basis, and
to establish towards it a greater re
spect from the student body. Weekly
meetings of the editorial and of the
business staff have been established
in order to arrange the make-up of
the paper and to discuss questions
which pertain to it.
The paper has been better appre
ciated not only by the Salem readers
but also by the advertisers. The
Salemite has had no trouble whatso
ever in obtaining advertisements—a
fact which seems indicative of the at
titude which business men have to
ward our paper.
Many minor plans have been car
ried out. Two delegates were sent last
fall to the North Carolina Collegiate
Press Association, aud two were sent
this spring. In the college itself, the
Salemite has participated in more
social functions than ever before. On
all sides interest in the Salemite has
been stimulated and respect for it has
grovra.
Senior staff, you have laid a solid
foundation for the Salemite, and you
have raised her standards and ideals
to a high plane. May the new staff
succeed in carrying on the work and
in fulfilling all hopes and ambitions
for it!
' and writes of Spring for hours. I try
ito write all day and night about the
brooks and flowers. My verse won’t
go—the muse is slow—^not one bit
sympathetic. My words won’t rhyme
a single time—the meter’s apathetic.
I can’t complete in any feat—it really
is a pity. Content I rest to do my
best and sing a simple ditty.
It is not nice to give advice. I very
seldom try it, but read this rhyme if
you have time and try to profit by it.
I know it’s Spring, ’n everything, and
that is compensation for all the work
we’d like to shirk, requiring applica-
'tion. The end of school—of class and
rule—is very nearly ended, so please
beware and take good care to keep
your record splendid. I’ll tell you
how—don’t slack up now! but make
the same good showing till school is
done and fun begun, “Vacationward”,
you’re going. It’s hard, of course, to
w'ork perforce and takes a lot of
patience, but it pays, I know—I’ve
found it so on various occasions.
Here ends my chant because I can’t
make what I mean emphatic. If I
were wise, I could advise in manner
less erratic.

With May there comes a pause in
the hurry and rusji of the year—a
pause of only a few minutes, it is true,
and yet those few moments allow us
to view the things which have been
accomplished this year, before plung
ing into the whirlwind of duties and
ambitions for the next term. We have
seen plans made and carried out, we
have seen organizations grow and
prosper, but best of all we have seen
the true spirit of ■ Salem shining
through every work which has been
done. Old officers 'can look back upon
their work with satisfaction, knowing
that they have completed undertak
ings which have been well carried out;
new officers look back upon the work
of their predecessors and gather in
spiration and courage for the work
which lies ahead; but both old and new
officers look to the student body to in
spire and keep alive the spirit which
has been behind every undertaking.
That spirit is enthusiasm alone if it
is felt and shown only by the leaders
