THE SALEMITL
Friday, February 20, 1942,
OPEN FORUM
Last Monday at a joint meeting of the juniors and sen
iors, the two upper classes voted almost unamimously to hold
the annual junior-senior dance in the spring. A small minority
voiced the wish to give the money to the Red-Cross or some
other defense organization. A similar motion was approved by
the students at Carolina who voted to give up their $3,000 or
chestra for finals in favor of a $150 local orchestra. The re
mainder of the fund will be given for defense. Although the
motion before the juniors and seniors at Salem was defeated,
it is backed up by more serious thinkers on this campus and on
other campuses over the country. The following protest is an
expression of the feeling which is fast beeomifig a part of the
nation’s war consciousness. It still, however represents a mi
nority opinion at Salem.
—The Editors.
ATTENTION, JUNIORS!
Congratulations on your recent decision, about Junior-
Senior we mean you have decided to have a Junior-Senior dance,
and as we feel this is especially significant, we intend to probe
your reasons for doing it.
To begin with, we are all intensely patriotic around here,
follow the newspapers avidly for war news, spend great time
and thought on how we can be constructive citizens in build
ing a new world order, and in general are so absorbed in our
responsibilities that it could never be said that we just wanted
to have a good time. Oh, no! Because we immediately erase
that nasty suspicion from our minds, we commend you for
your decision.
We commend you because you are the living proof that,
a happy childish spirit .can remain happy and childish in the
face of direst disaster and turmoil. People are being killed by
the thousands every day, homes are being destroyed, new dan
ger and deprivation! thi-eatens 'the Suture, and the fact that
Jyou can retain your happy-go-lucky philosophy is admirable,
gallant. A dance is a symbol and as such never let it be said
that it is less important than a slight contribution to the Red
Cross. After all, the government has plenty more, and let the
other fellow take care of that. It isn’t our business. Juniors,
it shows a* real sense of values that you choose to dance, to
“keep the flags flying” as it were.
It is obvious that you are broken and aged because of
worry over the war. Therefore, your purpose of “bolstering
morale” is valid. '
Citizens of tomorrow, congratulations!

r’was the night of the dance; from
a window hard by.
Throe tender young maids sat dis-
pairing,
The sti-ains of the music called
forth filmy frocks,
Bu‘ a school top and skirt they
were wearing—
Why the frown, why no gown,
Why no beau or wimple?
Well . . one’s too fat. ..one’s too
Imin . . and one's . . too . . sim
ple.
The first gave a sigh, the second
a sob,
^ Si&glG was third’s answer tragic,
“Oh, why doesn’t somebody come
to our aid.
With calories, diet, or magicf
What’ve they got we have not.
Alike in sense and pimple?
But—I’m too fat (sigh, I’m too
lean (sigh). I’m . . . too . . .
simple . .”
Suddenly, puff!, with a quick flash
of light
A little bent lady stood grinning,
“You know Cinderella?” she
snapped at the three,
“In her corner t’was me at the
winning.
With my aid you are made—
A.“k me line or dimple,
You, Too-Fat, you Too-Leftn, and
you too, Simplel”
The first one shrieked, “My great
est wish,”
She said, “is to be skinny”
“And I the fat of all would own,
You can’t give pounds too many.”
Simple glowed, straight she showel
He^ wish; Pat’s brain and temple—
At last not fat! At last not lean!
At last . . not . . simple!
The fairy raised her wonder wand,
She whirled five times then faded;
They felt a change: one shrank, one
swelled,
And third and Fat brains traded.
They laughed with glee, they ran
to see,
All happy with their wimple—
But — still one’s fat — still one’s
lean—
And, brethern, one’s still simple!
