1937.
GOAL SET IN LIBRARY FUND IS PASSED
MISS SIEWERS DESCRIBES
NEW UBRARY
Speaks At Y. P. M.
In expanded chapel Wednesday
morning we heard what we have
been waiting for, for a long time—
Miss Grace Siewers gave us the
plans and a detailed description of
the new library — a new library that
is one of the biggest things that has
ever happened to Salem, and coming
at a time like this it is more than
ever welcomed.
Miss Siewers pictured to us the
library in all its splendor and glory,
and when she finished, each girl was
able to see herself sitting in front of
the fire in a comfortable chair in the
reading room or lounging around in
that most delightful place, the brows
ing room.
The entrance to the building is di
rectly opposite Alice Clewell. It
opens into a vestibule, which faces
the delivery desk. Behind this desk
are shelves for reserve books, etc. On
the right is the west wing, which
faces the square. This is the read
ing room and is two stories high. It
will contain the current periodicals,
bound periodicals and reference
books. At the western end of the
room will be a large fireplace with
comfortable chairs and sofas group
ed around it. On the side of the
room is a French door leading onto
a terrace equipped with tables and
chairs for studying in warm weather.
On the left of the entrance is the
stock room, which will be open to
every one. Across the corrider from
it is the librarian’s office, the cata
logue room, and the work room. All
the typewriting, mending, etc will
go on here and not interfere with
the reading room.
On the second floor over the Cata-
logce room is a browsing room. This
will be furnished just like a per
sonal library in one’s own home —
a fireplace, sofas, soft chairs, floor
lamps, etc. No studying allowed, for
there will be only new books, lovely
old editions, etc. Across the cor
ridor is another stack room.
On the third floor is another stack
room, a treasure room, a room for
scrapbooks and all material relating
to Salem and rooms for student-
faculty discussions.
In the basement is a room for re
ceiving packages, a small kitchen
making it possible to have teas, and
a room underneath the reading room
with a fireplace for discussion groups
etc.

COMIC BALLET TO BE
HERE NEXT WEEK
ATHLETIC COUNCIL
PARTY BIG SUCEESS
Last Saturday Night at
Nine o’Clock
Mrs. Ball Is The Speaker
The Home Ec. Club met Tuesday
night in Main Hall. Mrs Mildred
Ball gave a very interesting illus
trated lecture on Handcraft. First
Mrs. Ball outlined the purposes of
handcraft, then she enumerated the
results, exhibiting pieces ox her own
work to illustrate these results.
She explained the”diflerent meth-
ods of decorating cloth, the interest
ing things which can be made from
wood and the use of plaster of paris
in making masks and in supplement
ing other art problems. Meta] and
silver work were illustrated by jew
elry, etc., made by Mrs. Ball. Pot
tery and clay-working were mention
ed and examples shown.
This type of work is emphasized
in the Industrial Arts class of the
Home Economics Department here.
One might observe a long line of
young men on their way to the gym,
and walking beside them our very
own Salemites, all decked out in
the latest gowns and coiffures. What
a grand party it was and how much
fun everyone had! The guests were
cordially greeted at the door by a
receiving line composed of faculty
and trustees, and soon afterwards
by the incomparable music of Freddy
Johnson and his Carolina orchestra.
The party lasted from nine to
twelve, with a half-hour respite in
which one mightdrink punch or wan
der up and down on the terrace out
side.
But the crowning glory of the
whole was the figure which the ath
letic council presented, led by Miss
Atkinson and Mr. McEwen, closely
followed by Sara Sherwood, presi
dent of the athletic association, and
her date. It was a wonder to be
hold — intriaey and perfection.
Every member of the council wore a
white dress, and every date a tuxedo,
and no one made a single mistake!
It was brought to a triumphant close
by the formation of the letter S.
Twelve o’clock came before any
one realized or wished for it, and as
the happy crowd climbed the steps to
upper campus, everyone agreed that
it was the nicest party Salem has
ever given.
Civic Music Concert
February 12
The Civic Music Association will
present on Wednesday night, Feb
ruary 17, in Reynolds Memorial Aud
itorium, one of the most unusual and
interesting performances ever given
in Winston-Salem. Trudi Schoop and
her comic ballet will present impish,
vigorous, and humorous pantomimes.
Trudi Schoop in ‘ ‘ Want Ads, ’ ’ the
first ballet on her program shows the
tragic-comedies which result in news
paper advertisements such as “For
sale — never worn wedding gown”
and “Honest woman in middle fif
ties seeks acquaintance — object,
matrimony. ’ ’
The second half of the program,
Fridolin on the Road” includes a
gay series of adventures about the
stupidities of physical culture ad
dicts, fanatical religious cults, moth
ers-in-law, and bowling tournaments.
The performance, showing the
dance, theatre, tragic-comedy, will
be given by a company of twenty-
two actor-dancers who have won
great success in America and in
Europe. Trudi Schoop is considered
an actress like Elizabeth Bergner,
a comedienne like Charlie Chaplin,
and a dancer like Anna Pavolova.”

Tea Room In Former
Winkler’s Bakery
Mrs. J. P. Campbell had ‘ ‘ open
house” for the faculty and students
of Salem College and Academy,
Thursday and Friday of this week
at her new tea room, the “Carter-
ette,” located in the old Winkler’s
bakery on Main Street.
The whole building has been re
modeled and redecorated and is now
a charming setting for a tea room.
Mrs. Campbell derived her color
scheme from the Carter coat-of-arms,
which contains red and blue. The
furniture is coronation blue and the
glass is dubonnet red. In the South
end of the lajgest room there is a
large open fireplace with an antique
mantel. On the mantel there are
Blue Willow plates and antique
glass. On one side of the fireplace
there is an old spinning wheel and
chintz chair. There are several old
engravings on the panelled walls.
The wine cellar is now the lounge.
The alcove where the wine vat used
to stand still remains.
Beginning to-day, the tea room
will be open to customers.
Students and faculty of the col
lege and academy met Dr. Rond
thaler’s challenge and in 22 hours
raised over the goal set at $1,500
towards the new library. At present
$1,638.25 has been pledged and it is
believed that the fund would reach
the $2,000 mark in a few daya.
The greater part of the needed
money has already been raised, but
about $15,000 remained to be sub
scribed, and the student challenge
was the first step towards this.
Now it is hoped that the students
will tell their families of the proj
ect and ask them to co-operate.
Mr. Agnew Bahnson is Chairman
of the Building committee. He has
worked untiringly, as have others
who were co-operating with him.
Regarding work already done, the
Building Committee has issued the
following statement:
In the fall of 1935, Northrup &
O’Brien, architects, started work on
preliminary sketches for Salem Col
lege Library. Plans and also a per
spective drawing of the building
were completed March 11, 1936, and
these were submitted for criticism to
leading authorities of the United
States, including Dr. Louis R. Wil
son of Chicago, president of the ■
American Library Association, and
Dr. C. C. Williamson, director of
the Columbia unit library and dean
of Columbia University School of
Library Science.
The committee wishes to empha
size two things. First, the building
of a library for Salem College is the
result of a need that has been rec
ognized for many years and actual
plans were made before activity for
a new public library started.
