LISTEN f
Even if the chapel program consisted of not more than
the beautiful music which we hear when we walk into chapel, it
would be well worth our while to go just to hear that. Why
should we spoil such music by loud and excessive talking, crack
ling of candy paper, scratching of pencils, and scraping of feet ?
Anybody can carry on a fairly good conversation but how many
of us can play such mu&ic as we have the privilege to hear
there ?
Let us leave our idle chatter outside on Memorial Hall
steps and walk into the building prepared to give that beauti
ful and inspiring music our individual attention.
—S. HL
BABY NEEDS A PAIR OF SOCKS
You all probably don’t realise what perfectly divine
knitters you are at heart, and how much fun it is to knit
Tiny Garment& without the responsibilities of Motherhood
(bless It). You’ll find out (no plug for the Kay Kayser
picture of the same name, the copycat), if you set your
little hearts on Good Deeds and lend your oh-so-efficient
co-operation to the Red Cross and knit some socks for the
poor little infants with chilblains in their toe&. Just think
now, how would you like chilblains, etc.? Not at all. I
knew you would have the right answer, Salem girls always
do (ha ha).
Just in case this is a little bit rambliug, a one-sen-
tenee precis would read: “Come to Room 2, Lehman,
wool, needles, and encouragingly simple directions’
knitting baby&’ socks -for the Red Cross.” It costs
free and you will earn bright halos in no time at all.

(Analysee par une etudiante de
premiere ann6e)
Mardi, le dix-neuf novembre, les
etudiantes du college ont vu La
Farce de Maitra Pierre Patbelln qui
a StS presentee par le Cerele fran-
§ais. Un resume de la piSce a ete
insgrg dans le Salemite de la se-
maine pas.see; done, je ne vous en
feral pas encore un compte-rendu
parce que vous I’avez dfija vu la
pifice.
Quand la piece a commence il y
avait trois personnes sur la sc6ne
et bien visibles a 1 'auditoire. A«|
milieu de la scene il y avait un
grand lit aux rideaux entre'ouverts.
Dans le lit nous pouvions voir une
personne qui portrait une chemise
de nuit rose, et bientSt nous avons
vu que c’Stait la personne la plus
importante de la pifice; c’est ^ dire,
M. Pathelin.
A gauche du lit il y avait un
drapier qui avait le dos tournfi It
1’auditoire; & droit, il y avait une
grande chaise dans laquelle il n’y
avait personne, mais c’etait reser-
v6e pour le juge.
Puis la pi6ce a commence. D’-
abord le Drapier, joue par Mile
Eugenia Baynes, a demande a la
femme de Pathelin lui devait. {Le
role de la femme a et4 joue par
Mile Elizabeth Bead, et le r61e de
Patl^elin par Mile Louise Bralower).
Pathelin ne voulait pas payer le
Drapier et a tache de le duper en
faisant le malade. Mile Bralower,
dans sa chemise de nuit rose, fai-
sait bien le vieux homme malade.
Mais, bientdt Pathelin a dii chan
ger de costume, et c'6tait ici que
les difficultes s’offraient. Enfln, 11
(elle) a diix porter deux costumes
& la fois: la chemise de nuit rose,
et en dessus celle-ca, sa robe d’avo-
cat. C’etait tr6s drSle, parce qu'on
pouvait voir la chemise rose des-
sous la robe noire. L’auditoire s'
est eclatfe de rire maintes fois &
ce corceau de drolerie, quand Mile
Ewing est sartie la porte. Elle
etait habillee comme un petit ber-
ger stupid, qui disait toujours
“B6e.”
Le juge etait bien jou6 par Mile
Stevens.
Je suit sur que tout le monde
c’est amusS k cette pi6ce et que
nous voulons felicite le cercle Fran-
?ais d’ avoir donn6 une si bonne
representation.
BARD’S BOX
TO NOVEMBEK OF 1940
* * ♦ *
November, you should linger o’er this world.
You are befitting to our time — You of ehill,
grey sharpness.
Tears for the dead
Freeze in your winds.
Steel for murder
Becomes an i;icle which
Pierces the heart —
Blood trickles little.
Quickly it turns to a frosted layer
Like that which you cast o’er the earth.
Yes, stay, November
So that Spring will not come
To bewilder us.
Spring of warm softness
And nagging mockery — not intended.
Man is supreme—
Nothing should come to tantalize
His mind
Filled with chilled thoughts.
Yes, stay o’er this world, November,
So that Spring
Cannot come and destroy
Such harmony.
—Mary Baldwin, “Campus Comments.”
THE “Y»s” WORK
It All Makes For Thanksgiving
Waking up luxuriously late —
stretching my toes over the end of
the great feather bed — touching
my finger tips against the satiny
spooled posters — sliding out be
tween silky sheets — snuggling into
a soft flannel robe — pattering
around on deep velvet carpets —
dialing a familiar number — hear
ing a beloved voice—pulling clothes
on leisurely — independently saying
good-bye —
Breathing in crisp country air —
hearing the autumn leaves rustle —
feeling the quiet speed of my car—
seeing friendly pink faces — surren
dering to the little church’s tran
quility — inhaling heavy incense
watching sun rays’ hazy patterns on
the scrubbed wood pows—exalting
in choral amens —
Smelling black coffee, spices, tur
key, spoon bread — gazing at the
color profusion of cranberry sauce,
olives, celery, sauterne, pumpkins’
grapes, nuts, and bitter-sweet — toy
ing with heavy silver — enjoying
lazy conversation — eating little —
Running my fingers over the ivory
keyboard — playing soft music —
closing my eyes—letting cool tears
roll down my feverish cheeks —
wishing for those less happy — It
all makes for Thanksgiving.
THE ALL-AMERICANS
WERE IMPRESSED BY
1. Their “luxurious quarters’*
while at Salem.
2. The Salem girls and their spirit
(BUT girls, they think we’re
making a great mistake by stay
ing up so late).
3. Miss Stockton’s excellent meals,
the best they’ve had at any
school.
4. Miss Atkinson and her coaching
(this explains why Salem was
their only stop in North Caro
lina).
5. Salem’s athletic equipment and
hockey field (they admitted,
however, that the gras was rath
er high and tough.)
6. Our considerate Deans — the
morning coffee and buns just hit
the spot.
7. The interest S'alem girls take in
sports, especially since we do not
give either a major or minor in
Phys. Ed. — and here again
credit goes to Miss “At,” her
coaching and her influence with
girls.
Every year the Y does some eo-m-
munity service as it is part of the
purpose of the Y to benefit others.
This year everyone will have a part
in Thanksgiving by sending baskets
to Mr. Burrage and Mr. Morgan.
These men are worthy citizens of our
community and deserve our con
sideration.

The opinion of the editor and
the staff of the Salemite is that
a day of Thanksgiving should be
a day of rest. Because of this
fact there will not be an issue
of the paper next week. The
next issue will be published on
Friday, December the sixth.
People that eat before the meal
begins.
IT’S IN THE STARS
Not one man in a hundred can
resist the “come hither” in your
eye for you use them in a most
devastating manner. You may not
always get your man, but you can
never be ignored.
You’re happiest when promot
ing some big enterprise. You’re
a far .better leader than driver,
and find it hard to take orders.
