Mgr Janet Stimpson The student body wishes to take this opportunity to express its sin cere gratitude to Dean Charles G. Vardell for his acceptance of the re sponsibility of acting president dur ing the absence of Dr. Howard Eond- thaler. We realize that Dean Var dell is going to have more than his part of the work during the next month or two. The cheerful manner in which he has taken his duties, and his willingness to do everything with in his power for Salem commands our appreciation and thanks. We can see that Dean Vardell is not trying to fill Dr. Rondthaler’s place. He is succeeding in filling his own place as Dean of Music and his place as acting President in a most capable manner. To Mrs. Vardell also we wish to extend our thanks. During the past few days many of us have learned to know and love her. Her sincerity and kindness have made all of us who have come in contact with her feel welcome at Salem. Salem is one place that doesn’t want you to have that lost, or shall I say, lonesome feeling, for we as sure you that we are delighted that you have chosen us as your college. The Student Government is trying to make you feel at home by intro ducing to you your student advisers. They will help you over the rough spots and will be willing and glad to help you at all times. Feel free to call on them whenever you want their company or council. To help you in getting acquainted the Stu dent Government is providing name tags for each member of the stu dent body. Everyone will wear these for several days—and don’t be afraid to introduce yourself to any one. We hope you feel that each one of us is welcoming you heartily to our midist. ATH. ASSO.

EDITORIAL Does’nt it seem lonesome at Salem without Dr. and Mrs. Rondthalerf Everywhere I turn I expect to see one of them in spite of the fact that I know they are thousands of miles away. Salem simply isn’t Salem without them and we are going to be glad to welcome them back as soon as Dr. Rondthaler is well again. Of course, wo would not have him hin der his progress towards recovery by returning before he is able, but we receive lieartily reports that he is steadily improving and that he may sail for America in October.

Pres, of Athletic Asso. {CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) in England a week or ten days after ho leaves the hospital, and it is at present expected that he may sail for America early in October. I gather that no blame for the ac cident attached to the driver of the car, a young Norwegian, who, with his mother has been extremely so licitous and kind during the hos pitalization. My father knew that London traffic drives on the left, approaches from the right; he has walked the streets of London many times On many occasions — walked them with a romantic affection often expressed to us his children, for their historic and literary associations, and also for their color and life. I am sure that he was deeply preoccu pied at the moment of the accident, and those who know him will no doubt be inclined to believe with me that the preoccupation was with Milton and the Masque of Comus that he had just witnessed. He was in the England of three hundred years ago; the England of 1935 sur prised him. A cablegram received September 19th, informs us that Dr. Eondthaler has been allowed to leave the hos pital and is recovering nicely. (Continued From Page One) Eondthalers, a cable from them brought the news that Dr. Rond thaler was leaving the hospital on Thursday. This encouraging news was gladly heard by Salem students, but the absence of our dearly beloved Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler was keenly felt by all of the old girls. The cable sent from the student body to the Eondthalers read as fol lows: CAN'T SEND PRESENTS, CAN’T LEND PRESENCE. THINKIN> OF YOU TODAY. STUDENTS. Mrs. Harry Grimsley, president of the Winston-Salem chapter of the Alumnae Association, gave a wel come to the new students, and Mrs. James Harkness came up from Ral eigh to make a short address to Salem girls on the opening day. Mrs. Harkness is president of the general Alumnae Association. Dean Vardell introduced Bishop J. Kenneth Pfohl, who gave a short talk. Bishop Pfohl, officially rep resenting the board of trustees, ex pressed a hope that this would be a successful year in Salem’s history. He said that the enrollment was lar ger than it has been in a good many years, and that there are certainly bright prospects for the new term. We can catch the spirit of enthus iasm of the youth of America as they return to school, and Salem is ready to enter in and do her share, in order that her young women may be well fitted for life. Qne hundred and sixty-nine years ago the Salem fore-fathers went forward with a great task of education and gave themselves to the task earnestly. First with them came religion and second, education. They planted the school beside the church, and they believed in the education of their daughters as well as their sons. Salem pioneered in the education of women, and it was not an easy thing to do, but many wonderful things have been accomplished because they persevered. Bishop Pfohl mentioned the bene faction which made possible the res toration of Main Hall, and the paint ing of the lovely murals of old Salem. Bishop Pfohl also announced that ! the Board of Trustees had adopted the following resolution: “Resolved, that Dean Vardell be requested and authorized to take over the duties of tho President of the College with full authority from the Board of Trustees and to continue in such du ties until Dr. Eondthaler is able to re-assume them.” His concluding re mark was that there was only one thing to mar the day, and that was the absence of President and Mrs. Rondthaler. Dean Vardell announced the fol lowing new teachers for the College and Academy: In the Academy, Miss Frances Strathearn (history); Eev. Douglas Rights (Bible); Miss Ethel Demuth (English). In the College, Mrs. John Downs (English); Miss Marjorie Hastings (Mathemat- ie.s); Miss Katherine Davis (art); Miss Elizabeth Jerome (assistant li brarian); Miss Ruby Mainor (nurse). These telegrams were read, the first being, of course, from the over faithful “Babe.”: “Can still remember who are sen iors this year but it’s the last year. That doesn’t alter my wishes for all tlie hopefuls to be up and at ’em, and as always twenty-one guns to the faculty, loud organ chord please Dean Vardell. With admiration, ap preciation and affection from Ade laide. How’s that for Alliteration. Still I’ll sign Babe.” “If you all think we are bright and jolly you ought to see us today, no smiles can hide our melancholy but we wish you luck in a great big way. Margaret Ward and Mavis Bullock” “Will think of you tomorrow at chapel time and wish I could be with you. My thoughts often turn to the happy times I had at Salem. I am in Florida for some time but natural ly North Carolina is still first. My very best wishes and love to every one. Frances Hill Norris” “We’ve taken a vote and unani- 'A FRESHMAN SPEAKS TO A FRESHMAN CLASS OF ’39 Have you found your way over this Salem Campus yet. I haven’t and I don’t think I ever will be able to go with any degree of confi dence from Clewell to the Science Building. And honestly ( this is to bo kept under your bonnet), I would never find my room if it wasn’t for my trunk. Yesterday I spent fifteen minutes wandering up and down the hall on second trying to find my trunk. I was very embarass- ed when a Junior told me that I probably belonged on third (Which I did). Another good thing about trunks in the hall is that if you for get your room-mate’s name as often as I do you can go and read it off the tag on her trunk. Beware of trunks though, I fall all over myself constantly getting out of the way of mine. Yesterday my big sister took me down on lower campus. We sat on one of the little bridges and she told me about when she was a Freshman. She showed me the spring house where George Washington got a drink of water. If you can possibly dig up the tinie go down the brick walk back of Main Hall and take a look at Salem’s “White House.” Speaking of brick walks I am having a time getting around over Salem’s bricks . . . and they tell me that there is a tradi tion for every brick. A Soph tipped me off that many a Freshman writes a theme about brick walks. Have you ever seen so many peo ple so glad to see each other. I’ll be glad when I’m an upperclassman and can scream at everybody when I ar rive under a load of suitcases and what-not. Anyway I hope that by next week my typical Freshman green will be very light in color. SALEMITE TO INCLUDE THE COLLEGIATE DIGEST SECTION THIS YEAR A regular pictoral review of the news of the college world will be featured each week in The Colle giate Digest section of the Salemite, the first issue of which appears with this edition of the Salemite. Featuring exclusive lively features written especially for its wide col legiate audience in addition to the regular news of the week “in pic ture and paragraph,” Collegiate Di gest brings to the readers of the Salemite the most complete pictor ial review of college news available. A new and outstanding feature of the issues this year will be- the un usual Speed Graph photos taken with the “Magic Eye” camera and de picting tho continuous motions of athletes in action. Tlie remarkable photos have been made possible re cently by the invention of a camera which “stops” the various move ments of people in action. Then, too, Collegiate Digest will continue in The Spotlighter, its bright and lively stories of the great and near great who graduated from or attended college. The first issue features the biography of America’s greatest humorist, Will Rogers, pre senting many heretofore unpublished facts about his life. Students of Salem College are urged to send photos to the editor of Collegiate Digest at P. O. Box 472, Madison, Wis. Regular newspaper rates are paid for all photos accept ed for publication. Ardent Lover: Dearest, I adore you. Since the dawn of creation, since the birth of the human race, since the beginning of time, I have known you and loved you. Girl: Oh, Hubert, this is so sud den! mously agreed that it’s even better to be a green young freshman than a forelorn alumna. Will be thinking of you as you start the new year much success in all your undertak ings. Love to all. Mary B. and Jane Williams.” Dean Vardell closed with the ad monition that the classes begin from the first, or, as Dr. Rondthaler would say “When we begin we begin.”
