“STICKABHITy”
At last the long-looked-for Thanksgiving holidays are
over. The exciting football games, the new friendships made,
the old friendships deepened, and the traditional Thanksgiving
dinners are all thingij of the past. Even the inevitable after
math of turkey hash is almost forgotten. The holidays gave
us a much-needed rest from studies and tiring routine. We
all have our pleasant memoriefii of those days, and no one can
take those memories from us.^
But are we letting the holidays take something away
from us; some of our detfii*mination, some of our ambition, some
of our desire to stud^^t 'Di(| our “stickability” pass with the
holidayst Let’s niake t^t vacation be a real ass^t to us;
ma^e the rest J^e » re^l incentiye to work durmg the next two
jvepks. Let's put ijqth feet, ip the road and work hard till the
cl^ss oij S^tur4fty, tjie 17th. Surely, our Christmas holidays
will be much happier if have the assurance pf work well

RULES
We haye been in school now for several months and
should be> familiar with all the rules. However in the last few
^eeks we haye become lax in obeying a number of minor but
important rules. Carelessne^ and not deliberate disobediience
Is the b^is for suc^ cpn(luet. If we would take time to thin^
at the exact moment wq would pot be so careless. For iiutance
after concerte and f^|:i|[re§ some of us have been going across
the street to the dnig store ^ithout permission, yet we kpow
that underc|^U9i^ cannot go fcross the street after sevei^ with
out permission. Many of us have been wearing socks tp dinner,
yet >ye know hose wiiwt be wpn> then. These along with such
House EoguUtion rules, as breaking busy signs, not obey
ing light and ra^ip pemissioifa, arp the rules we haye been
fleglwtipjf. |,egin today with ^ detenninajion to
}ipj)pl4 ^he GpYjjrnroent p|)9yjpg the minor role?.

Miss Mary Weaver from the Acad
emy will speak at Vespers Sunday
night at 6:30. Everybody is invited
to come to hear her. Special music
will be given by the choir.
Noxt week Salem girls will have
a chance to prove the old saying
that ’way down deep in every wom
an’s heart is the desire to cut, and
stitch, and make! And even the
most sophisticated and worldly mind
ed young ladies will have the oppor
tunity to slidw their feminine talents.
For Tuesday afternoon in the recrea
tion room of Bitting building the
“y” will have material and needles
and thread all ready to make hos
pital gowns to send to our Moravian
Missionary, Dr. Thaeler, in his hos
pital way down somewhere in South
America. Dr. Thaeler, has sent word
that these gowns are very greatly
needed in the work he is doing'; so
the “Y” will send twenty-five of
them as a Chfistma« gift from
Salem. The pattern |hat has been
chosen is very simple, and therQ^ore
we think tliat no ope have dif

THSOUGH
Why all the smiling faces these days, Salemitesf We are
confronted on all sides by broad grins ah^ sparkling eyes. Well,
we agree ^ith you that there are thin^ to mU hw*
py this special time of the year.
Perhaps many of you are remembering your past four
days vacation. Perhaps you still taste that luscious turkey or
maybe you are remembering that delightful fepling of sl'eWillg
until noon, with no lessons or cjaases ip worry apout. "
Perhaps others pf yoi; are tliioking of yonr three weeks
of pleasure ip the near future, that, delightful, most'anticipated
npliday of all the year, Christmas. Perhaps that indescribable
something which we call the “Christmas 8pirit" has already
seized you, and you are filled with that heart-warming senti
ment of good will and gladness thaj Christmas somehow always
gives. .
There may be others of you who are satisfied simply with
the present. You are the wise ones who are aware pf the fact
that It is J ppecis! privilege tp come’to Salem and who are mak
ing the of each d^y here.
^yway, Salemites, we love to se? you smile, and are
very glad yo|j are liappy, whateyw your reasons may be.

LIBRARY ACOUIRRS
HISTORY THESIS
Salemites will be interested in
knowing that through Mr. Holder’s
generosity the Library has acquired
“Community Life in Wachovia
1752-1780,” which is Mr. Holder’s
thesis for his Master of Arts degree.
The thesis interprets the life of the
first generation of Moravians in
North Carolina and will prove a val
uable reference source.
