EAST
PRUSStAi;
Map shows the latest partition of Poland, with areas g:aing to beth
Germany and Russia. The Keich got the smaller and richer part but
Russia got more land to provide a 50-50 break. Observers also noticed
that industrialized Germany got more industrial property, which she does
not need, and that Russia received agricultural land of which she already
has too much. The San and Vistula rivers form a major portion of the all
“water” boundary, which cuts through the suburbs of Warsaw, ancient
Polish capital, and gives Russia such important cities as Lwow, Brcst-
Litovsk and Wiino, historic Lithuanian city which Poland captured shortly
after the World war.

WEEK-END SHELF
"Enoch Arden”
Presented In Chapel
On Wednesday morning we had an
unusual and very enjoyable chai>el
program. Mrs. Will Reid, accompan
ied at the piano by Mrs. T. Holt
Haywood, gave a musical reading of
Tennyson’s famrms narrative poem,
•‘Enoch Arden.” Richard Strauss
wrote the very fitting and beautiful
music, set to the poem
Mrs. Reid, the former Rilla Gar
rison, was, some years ago, a teaeh-
er of elocution at Salem. It was
she who introduced to Salem the
use of the May Court. She plan
ned to stage Midsummer Night’s
Dream in the May Doll, but unfor
tunately the production was halted
by rain. It was indeed a pleasure
to have Mrs. Reid with us again.
Mrs. Hayivood, also a former
Salemite, is well-known for her mus
ical talent, and Salem was glod to
welcome her back to our stage.
Curtain Comes
Down on Freshman
Initiation
King Sophomore ruled supreme all
day Wednesday here at Salem—when
Freshman felt green (or if they
didn’t, they knew better than to let
anybody know'!); S'ophomores felt
mighty and superior; .Juniors and
Seniors felt n sense of left-out-ed-
ness and watched from the side
lines.
Freshmen were given their sum
mons Tuesday night when ghost like,
sheet-begowned Sophomores raided
third floor of Clewell. In fact, the
Freshmen were feeling so terribly
low that night that they found the
dark place under their beds most
inviting. However, after a few
minor mishaps, the Sophomores had
found good hands for all their sum
mons, and filed down from third to
the tune of “Allah! Allah!’’ and
“Praise the Sophomores.”
All day Wednesday sfrangi' sights
were seen all over Salem campus.
New stud(:nts hurried to the post
office in “reverse order,’’ and
many of them even went to classe.s
with their faces where the back of
their heads usually were! By five
o’l lock activities were in full swing,
and all Freshnu*n aud Sophomores
gathered on the hockey field. Aud
what a sight it was! Tracing the
s Illation from feet up; white ten
uis shoes, topped with black i-otton
stockings held in proj'er position by
8-inch green ribbon, .|U old cotton
dress (no required variety), latest
stylo waist — a la laundry hag, one
side of the face after the manner of
Klizabeth Arden, the other a true
example of that “lily white” skin,
hair devoid of even a “a crimp’’ ;ind
sun glasses to take aw;iy even (he
last ho])e of individual identity!
After parading around, those bean-
leons ones were properly escorted to
the dining room, where they served,
in the main, as an entertainment
i-omniittee (extemporaneously jh'v-
forming!
Then :it seven o’clock the fun
really began! (Began?) The Old
('hajK'l was filled with Salem stu
dents and faculty — the Kreshnieu
holding the place of honor — on the
floor In front of the stage. On the
stage sat tln‘ executive, legislati\c,
and judicial departments ready to
begin without further ado.
To start tilings out in the proper
spirit Louise ‘Hitler” Miller gave a
lecture on the virtues of Germanv
and, for the benefit of all those in
doubt, stateil that England and
France will soon be wiped out.
■Next in order came an announce
ment to the effect that all Frcshmeu
whose names came between A and
M would write a theme entitled
“Why Do I?” The others to Z
were to write on “Can You?”, to be
used for further reference.
During the course of the evening's
entertainment .Judge Jo Ann Brill
gave out verdicts and sentences to
a hundred or more offenders.
As time passed the audienee saw
Dean Vardell aud Mr. McEwen be
ing adorned with paper dresses,
Freshmen “being atti’active,” Fresh
men “hanging in mid-air,” a bru
nette I’rosh tell “why Gentlemen
Prefer Blonds,” Romeo and Juliet
performed in modern slang, the fam
ous “Can Can” follies, a hog-calling
contest, the Three Bears in baby
talk, Hedy Lamarr’s death scene —
and so on ’til the very last girl was
strict ly accounted for and the court
adjourned.
Sophomore Court is over — and
Pre.shmen no longer shrink at the
sight of the “high and mighty,”
and the “high and mighty” no long
er have occasion to feel that way!
