Page Four. 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! —N. R.

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! RONDTHALERS HONOR DR.
