Page Two. THE SALEMITE IP 0 IE T IR y "Poetry is the presentiment, in musical form, to the imagination, of noble grounds for the noble emotions.” —Ruskin. UNREASONABLE If sullen winter were your mood, How easy it would be To make an ulster of my pride And put off organdie. But 80 inconsistent is your mood That sometimes thrice a day, T’m muffled for December gales Who should be smocked for May. —Margaret Emerson Bailey. FALLING SNOW Hushed trees of powdered ebony, Salt-crusted roofs thereunder. Snow butterflies that swirl and drift In a world of quiet wonder. Marie Barton. From Choir Practice. LET IT BE FORGOTTEN Let it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten, Forgotten as a lire that once was singing gold, Let it be forgotten forever and ever, Time is a kind friend, he will make us old. If any ono usks, s:iy it was for gotten Long and long ago, •■Vs a flower, as a fire, as a hush ed football In a long forgotten snow. —Sara Teasdale. MACHINES Now you who once were servant hav’e become The master, with your cracking lash and whips You drive mankind before you, stricken dumb To serve you with no answer on their lips. Your wheels and belts, your cogs and tramping feet Your spindles and your pistols have the power To send men jobless out upon the street. Or break them in a single ruth less hour. Which shall be victor: steel and driving bands, Or mind and sinew ,nerves and blood and bone? Inanimate creations of men’s hands. Or they who godlike, walk the earth alone?. —Grace Noll Crowell. THE CYNIC He is afraid, like some [>oor, timorous boy. Of being hurt; and so he shuts his eyes To beauty; laughs at tenderness; and sneers At virtue. Pity him! Whose heal ing tears Will never .surge and flow; who freedom buys From pain, at such a sacrifice of joy! —Verna Hills.

Mgr Mary Ruth Elliot To go home for a week-end means to be the center of attraction for three days, to be made much of by !i circle of admiring brothers, sisters and fond pa^ents, and to get to know again a family which has been grow- irig up in your absence. College girls appreciate thoroughly this “home-going” definition. Alumnae, here is your chance to experience it once more. You have been away for a long time. Your mother, who still feels about you exactly as she always felt, your sisters who have grown up since you went away, and whom you may not recognize at first glance, and your little new brothers’ who have beeiv added to the family per haps in your absence, are all very glad you have came home for the week-end, and we are prei>ared to make over you with all of the fatted calves at our disjjosal. And since members of families should always pass on to each other the good things which have been .said about one or the other, here is* a rather wonderful tribute which we hoard paid to you the other day, and which we should like to pass on to you. Imagine that an adoring little sister has tiptoed into your room to help you dress for a party and to listen with awe to your many adven tures. Imagine that she has heard some particularly nice remark about her older sister and that she tells it to you in order to let you know what she and others think of you. After all, we are your young sisters, you know. “Sister, I heard a fine man say once that among his favorite of all Greek statues were the Catyarids, those noble feminine figures which suj>port the roof of the Erecthium. They are tall women, beautiful and strong, and without them the institu tion could not stand. Dr. Kondthaler said (for it is he I am quoting), that these symbolic statues always remind him of our Salem College Alumnae.” “And Alumnae, if you are kind and appreciative big sisters, you will turn toward the younger members of your family and dncourage them after this fashion: “Now little Salemites, don’t you cry— You’ll be Catyarids bye-and-bye.” It takes a wise man to discover a wise man. SOPHS AND JUNIORS SHUFFLE OFF AFTER EXAMS The boys’ town of Davidson was know she lives there, how would you know she lives there, haw would you like to be in her shoes! Answer un necessary. Nancy McNeely said that she was going to Goldsboro via Chapel Hill, “Whatcha mean” via Chapel Hill, Nancy? Gert Schwalbe went home with Mary High Point. Jean Robinson, “V. Q.” Thomp son, and Margaret Sears went home and as I hear, other places. Exams were not so good to Mari anna Hooks, Etta Bert Warren, Mc- Arn Best, Frankie Medons, and Kea Council. These quintuplets stayed here over the week-end and had a time of fun in spite of the rest go ing a>ray. Tick Fraley went home with Martha Nolen, Belmont a place out from Charlotte in case it isn’t on all maps. Margaret Calder, better known as “Senorita,” decided she preferred for Facen to come from Davidson to see her instead of going to Char lotte to see him. Not many of us would give up a chance to go home like this, but then too, not many of us know young Davidson ians like this one of Margaret’s. Mary Lil) Reeves’ uncle, Mr. George W. Tilson, stopped on his way from Raleigh to have dinner with her on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Helen Jones, Ethel Highsmith and Lou Freeman spent the week-end in Fayetteville. I hear Helen was very sad because Pat had to work and she only had one date with him, poor Helen. Then Ethel J. missed her Bob this week-end and spent most of her time writing to him while Lou, who was visiting Ethel J. spent the time making a certain young man very angry! Virginia Gough went down to visit a friend of her a Converse. Exams were finished Tuesday for Jinnie and she got quite a stay in South Caro lina. Virginia Gaddy spent part of the week-end in town and the other part, naif of Sunday, at home. Golly, but Ginny loves Winston-Salem and— Sasa Thompson went to Moores- ville with friend Lib Rankin to spend ■ Saturday and Sunday. Names, places, and faces could go n and on here, but I fear I must ill a halt before I get caught at ■^his rambling and seram^b^ing of anipus talk! SENIOR WEEK-END STORY This little piggie went to Statesville, jAnd this little piggie .stayed here. This little piggie had company And this had no one to cheer And this little piggie slept all week-end. So runs the tale of the Senior Class over the week-end, but we might en lighten you a little further as to their visits here and yon. Fanny Hill packed the little bug gy and away she dashed to Raleigh, taking Jane and Rachel who follow ed the gleam—Herbert, Ed or Joe’s —you g^ess—to Wilmington. Sara Johnston went to Davidson and Josie chased off to Roanoke Rapids (the phone is busy again since she’s back!) Of course. Dot went to Thomasville (Did you know slie stayed up here the week-end during exams — actually — one week-end at Salem. You’re slipping. Dot). And Ansonville called Julia Lee. Pat, Anne, Martha Neal, and Bab bie roadstered up for a gay week- OFF-CAMMPUS GIRLS TO ENTERTAIN AT HOUSE-WARMING (CONTINUED FROIVl PAGE ONE) to welcome the guests to see their newly decorated rooms. The pajwr of tlie study room has a cream background with a diamond figure in it; the paper of the recreation room is cream with a small buff de sign. The little dining room is very attractive with its paper of pale green. Everyone is very well pleased with the selections of paper and the pdans for redecoration which were submitted by a committee com posed of the following: Mi.ss Re becca Hines, head of the off-campus student organization, Mrs. Rond- thaler, Mrs. Meinung, Mr. Oerter, the four vice-presidents of the classes: Misses Mary Elizabeth Shore, Mil dred Krites, Arnice Topp, Anna Wray Fogle, and Miss Katherine Riggan, Dean of the off-campus stu dents. The money for the project is being raised by the off-campus stu dents by serving lunches in the little dining-room. end in ‘ ‘ them thar hills ’ ’—and evi dently they had it! Ma,ry Penn dashed up to Virginia —Hollins College, I understand. Was Nancy really the only attraction up that way? What about that station to station phone call last week and V. P. L? Ann Vann started to Raleigh and Ahoskie was her final destination. Jay was to bo in Raleigh. Ann regis tered late. What do you make of it? Florence McCanless went home to South Boston, and Betty Tuttle to Leaks ville. Incidentally those two — Martha Binder and Grace Carpenter are Sen iors please! They both enioyed very T>leasant week-ends at their homes and are now back on historical ground. Frances Adams, Margaret Wall, Bushie McLean, Cokey Preston, Em- •na Wargo, Isabella Richardson, and Margaret Ward are the six little piggies who stayed home. A gay I WOULDNT IT BE A SOBBIN’ SHAME? li We had: Sticks and no Stone Wrongs and no Rights Straiglit and no Curlee Ups and no Downs Flowers and no Blum Hates and no Likes Rats and no Piper Line and no Hooks Ceiling and no Wall Beds and no Ward Pond and no Lily Bricks and no Plaster Watermelons and no Coons Black and no White Wells and no Pitts Sunny and no Rainey Guarantee and no Sample Scorches and no Scars Cleaner and no Taylor Mountain and no Hill Large and no Little Iceman and no Coleman Less and no Moores Ink and no Penn Eves and no Adams Proposal and no Neal Candy and no Norris Road and no Way Painter and no Carpenter Rider and no Walker Lea and no Lee Chair and no Couch Prisoner and no Freeman Peacego and no Wargo Soup and no Campbell Blossomy and no Buddy Yarn and no Weaver Throat Trouble and no Schwalbe Books and no Read Products and no Mills Silence and no Clapp Window and no House Esso and No Knox week-end was had by all, we under stand. Cokey must have felt like a bride-elect, with all this dining with the groom’s family and others of note. She was in on the domestic scene, too, when she, Margaret Ward j and Bushie tried to get even with j Mr. Downs by cooking hi.i dinner I one night. Ho’s still here, though. Friday, February 1, 1935. THREE RELIGIOUS SECTS DISCUSS VIEWS IN Y. P. M. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE >1'NE) affairs in Maryland. He was also chaplain of the army during the World War and is now a Major in the Officers Reserve Corps. Rabbi Lazaron organized the first federa tion of Christian and Jewish youth in Baltimore. Rev. Everett R. Clinchy, a Presbyterian minister, was located at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut as the min ister of the College Church. He was the director of the National Con ference of Jews and Christians. The three men .spoke simultaneous ly, that is, they conversed with each other before the audience. Rev. Clinchy began the discussion by em phasizing that although there are differences in religious sects which tend to separate us, that we should each maintain our differences but re spect each other. This would tend to a civic and communal unity. Rabbi Lazaron brought to mind the fact that the new generation can not live on the same theories the generation before has used for these are uncertain and are under fire. The new generation is therefore confront ed with the enormous task of right ing the wrongs of the old generation. To do tliis everyone must realize that in spite of the chaos of the world now there are certain funda mental bases which always hold, the main one being the kin.ship of all people. There must be a sense of brotherhood to surmount the differ ences. Father Riggs enjoined everyone to cultivate the right attitudes. Ho stated that it was particularly im portant for girls to be able to over look differences for it would bo their opinions which would influence the next generations in their homes. The national conference has met to discu.ss the best inter-group rela tions by conducting seminars, tours, discussion groups, meetings, and by making personal contacts. Rev. Clnchy reminded the audience that no one was born with prejudices, that attitudes such as mistrust and even repulsion were picked up Several questions were asked, the answers to which were: Catholics do not wish to gain political con trol. Often an entire group votes in common, but groujis vote against groups. It is true that th6 Catholic church has a unique way of salvation but they do not believe that mem bers of other churches are lost. They believe that souls are lost who sin against what they think is right and remain impenitent. Jesus to the Jews long meant oppression by other people. They believe that He was the last of a prophetic line of Jew ish leaders and since He is the Jew.s’ creation they are able to understand Him. The Jew has two leit motifs, one the individual whose main ideal is the si)iritualization of life, and the other society whose main ideal is the building of the kingdom of God on earth through right. Quoting Browning’s “Ab Vogler,” Rabbi Lazaron said: “Let the Catholic, Protestant and Jew be represented by three notes which if struik simul taneously, will form not a fourth note but a star.” All creeds contribute to the move ment now going on in the United States. Everyone should become con scious of the differences, and al though these will iontinue, the in dividual must learn to live with peo ple for the common good. It is help- fu to become well acquainted with personalities of other sects. Society will then be like a symphony orches tra. In its ensemble will be found great beauty of valuable music. It will be harmonious instead of dis cordant as it is now. In the city an organization has been formed, and it would be of value to all to join in the helpful dis cussions this group will conduct. Gertrude Steinism: She was the one whom ofie might like better the more one saw her less. The souls of emperors and cobb- ’ers are cast n the some mould. The lame reason that makes us wrangle vth a ijeghbor causes a war betwixt princes. Montaigne
