We are glad you are here, and we hope you will let us be of service to you in any and every way possible. That’s what a newspaper is for—to serve people, and we think that per haps there are many tihngs we can do for you. This first issue is for you, new comers, but we don’t want you to feel that the acquaintance ends there. That is only the beginning. We always have room for anything you want printed. If you lose a book, as Fresh men often do—for there are so many of them, we are glad to print a notice for you; if you want to announce a class meeting, just let us know; and when you like something a great deal, or when you dislike it heartily, we have a special column in which you may express your own opinions. Our Open Forum column is for just such things as that. Every member of the Salemite staff is eager for you to call upon her, in relation not only to the newspaper, but to any of the little every-day prob lems that confront you. We know that things are strange at first, and we want to make every day full of pleasure for you. The name of every member of the staff is printed just above this greeting. Come and get ac quainted for, as we said before, we are glad to see you at Salem. MASONIC LOAN FUND. Announcement is made of the re ceipt by Salem College of an initial gift of $1000.00 from the Masonic Order applicable to the Masonic Loan Fund. This important gift has been bestowed by the educational commit tees jointly of the Grand Lodge, A. F. and A. M., Grand Chapter R. A. M. and Grand Commandery K. T. of North Carolina. Students are permitted to borrow from this fund under certain require ments fo rthe completion of their college course at Salem. These loans are to draw' 6% interest and are made at the discretion of the college to deserving students, in par ticular those who expect to become self-supporting upon the conclusion of their college course. WHAT’S WHAT! The Student Self-Government Asso ciation has been for many years an honored institution in Salem College. It has, with the co-operation of the Y. W. C. A., probably done more than any other organization to influence Salem girls to live up to the standards which their Alma Mater sets for them. Each year members of the Council are chosen from a general assembly of the student body, at which meeting the President and various representa tives from the respective classes are chosen. Regular meeting of the Asso ciation are held every month, at which meeting every member is re quired to be present. Each Friday night between dinner and study hour the Y. W. C. A. pre sents some interesting' program; and on various Sundays throughout the year impressive Vesper services are held. This organization admits to its membership every girl in Salem Col lege. Its Cabinet is composed of the President, elected by the student body, and the committee chairmen chosen by those of the preceding year. Regular cabinet meetings are held every Wednesday night. The Athletic Association, by reason of its wide appeal, is one of the most popular organizations on the campus. The President and a head for each sport are elected by the student body. Various forms of athletics are in prog ress during the entire year; thus each girl has the opportunity of choosing the type of athletics which she prefers. Once every month the students of Salem College have the privilege ot hearing prominent men and women speak on topics which are of especial interest to students of History. The meetings of the History Club are held in the evening of one day each month. The officers are chosen by the mem bers of the club; any student who is interested in current topics is eligible for membership. Every French student is eligible to membership in “La Circle Fran caise.” The club meets twice a month and al ways presents an interesting and in structive program. But the greatest fun comes after the program when the members get together for a jolly half hour spent in playing all the old games in a new way. Every once in a while a big play is given, the enjoy ment of which is in no way lessened by the fact that it is all in French. STANDING AT THE PORTAL Standing at the portal Of the opening year, Words of comfort meet us. Hushing every fear; Spoken through the silence By our Father’s voice. Tender, strong, and faithful Making us rejoice. “I, the Lord, am with thee. Be thou not afraid! I will help and strengthen, Be thou not dismayed! ' Yes, I will uphold thee. With my own right hand; Thou art called and chosen, In my sight to stand.” He will never fail us, He will not forsake. His eternal covenant He will never break; Resting on his promise. What have we to fear? God is all-sufficient For the coming year! DID YOU KNOW? That Salem Academy was founded in 1772? That Salem Academy was chartered a college in 1865? That Salem College was admitted to membership in the Southern Associa tion of A-Class Colleges in 1922 ? That the campus contains twenty- six acres? That the oldest building on the campus is the one popularly known as the Sisters House, properly known as the Culver House, and that it was built in 1785? That the silvery tone of the Mora vian Church bell is due to the fact that it contains seventy silver dollars, which were contributed by members of the community? That the church steeple is 99.9 feet high? That Salem Square is not a part of the College campus but belongs to the city ? FRESHMEN Sophmores, Juniors and Seniors !
