The Editor’s Exit The departins? editor usually has a few last words in which she givps credit wVipvp credit is due and sums up the attempts of a year’s w-orV. When we accepted the job of editing w'eekly a newspaper “of, by and for” the students of Salem College, w'e realized that even under normal conditions the task %vas a great one, but that with the added strain that war brings —when responsibility becomes lax and other interests of seemingly more importance in terfere—the work w'ould be more tedious— and challenging. Yet knowing all this, w'e took the chance. At times the going did seem tough, t)ut we have tried to maintain the Salemite’s tradi tions, keeping the good name and reputa tion of the college alw'ays at heart. We admit that being a wartime editor has not been all fun, but there have been com pensations and some interesting experiences. To those “faithful few” of the staff who have stood loyally by us and to our advisor we would give our first thanks. To our com petent business staff who have kept ads “up to our ears” (literally) anfl to friends who have encouraged and inspired through their criticism we are indebted. Last, but not least to the printers—in spite of the anxiety they caused us by moving their shop right in the midst of the year—we are grateful* for their never-failing sense of humor that sustained us those crucial moments before the deadline. Then to our successor, and her staff we wish the best of luck for the coming year. And finally w'e bid you a fond farewell. Mary Louise Rhodes, editor Early Morning Worship is A Source Of Strength Somehow, during these days of 1944 w'hich are at once so glowingly beautiful, and at the same time so filled with hatred, destruc tion, and insecurity, there is an instinctive urge in us all to turn to One who is wise, merci ful, and all-powerful. The early morning ser vices w-hich take place in the Home Church provide a means by which we may silently pay tribute to our God, and ask Him for guidance. Only those w^ho have been to these services can know the quiet strength which they lend to one. The singing of a hymn, the scripture reading by Dr. Rondthaler, Dr. Anscombe or Mr. Weinland, the music provided by Jane Frazier, Norma Rhodes, J^lla Lou Taylor, and Juanita Miller, and the playing of the organ by Margery Craig or Jo McLauchlin make the meeting both simple and impressive. We wish to thank these participants for making the service possible; and to those who feel they need a source of beauty and of in ner strength, to those w'ho wish to pay tri bute to God, we suggest that you attend these morning services. SONNET Betw'een the day and night there is a pause When w'aiting dai'k starts slowly to descend, And golden light reluctantly withdraws; Tbeii' glories merge and into shadows blend. Then changing liquid color fills the sky Each fragile cloud to burn and then caress As though the misty sliape to purify,' And then adorn in new and glowing dress, la this soft houi-, this transitory time. My thoughts leave reason, w'andering to those themes Suggested by a shadow pantomime: Jly earthboiind thoughts l)ecome sw^eet drift ing dreams. l!i vain 1 seize this moment, hold it fast! It fades! my time of reverie is past. June Reid Don’t ^ote Me.... But— If it rnins tomorrow so help us we will die . . . just pass right out. Ah, Love . . . all year we have waited for this ... all you wlio were overlooked this year—spruce up^ who knows—mavbe another time. What a life ... wo mis quoted Shakespeare! Yes mam—^remember them ‘■‘ravHed sleeves of care” well, it ’pears they ain’t ‘‘sleeves” at all . . . tlicy are “sleav'es” (and we know it’s singular. Dr. Willoughby, but it just sounds better like that) Speaking of mistakes the Journal ha'I a bee-utiful “hisself” yesterday morning. Remember the, Gingham Tavern? It rated about two inches in the ‘National Magazine of Home Economic Student Clubs.” Not bad, :iot bad at all. It came under “College Program Tips” and was by far the most original congrats to those who deserve the credit. About the little freshman who goes around with her “old planta tion talk” . . . she was in a play over at the high school and five women rushed back stage to hire her before they realized she belonged with the College—in the S-G. Speaking of Stee Gee—well, Lucy, you’ve been a swell president— need we say more ... ' Oh, say, we hear the Juniors really had fun with their “little sisters” last Friday—’cept they felt them extra years . . . oh, the creaky bones . . . Freshmen waited on their “big sisters” like no little sister ever did before. Some fun . . . the Sophomores just plain flatly re fused, after having been begged upon bended knee, to return the courtesy . . . By the way, what did you think of Jan Peerce? We, jwrsonally, take Edward Weeks . . . Our sympathies again to Miss Stockton . . . she has the mumps . . ■ May we also remind all of you of Mom’s Day which is only a week from this Sunday—May 14, to be exact. Be dutiful daughter’s and don’t dare forget. ... ^ Y'ou haven’t lived until you have been in one of Mrs. Marks’ art classes . . . golly ... we go into everything froni who started R. J. Reynolds to butter rationing ... it so happened that butter was rationed over here so that we could send a bunch of ships loaded with it to some African tribes. Them poor Africans went about getting their vitamins the hard way—by rubbing it on their heads and using it it as cold cream—ain’t life absolutely wonderful! Do quote me: we’re making the bandages you like now—four by fours—in the Surgical Dressings Room. Our quota for May is six thousand. Afuvniei Sr6fus44Joleii El Dia de Mayo Manana laa senoritas de Salem celebrdran el dia de Mayo. A las ochas y diez de la manana un grupo congregara debajo de los arboles del campus interior para un servicio devoto. El seiior doctor Kondthaler presidira. Por la tarde, a las cinco y m^dia, se presentara un espectft culo llamado “La Novia Baratada,” escrito por elcheco Smetana. Se escogi6 el tema checoeslovaco porque los checos empezaron la celebraeifin original del dia de Mayo. Se dice que a unos checos que estan en los Estados Unidos los han invitado a asistir a la celebracifin manano a Salem. La culminaci6n de las alegrias sera un baile en honor de la reina, Leila Sullivan, y su corte. Muchas familias y muchos amigos de las estudiantes de Salem vendr4n a asistir a la fiesta. Todo el mundo estd muy animado y rezan que nr llue>'a. Ifec'ic Last-Minute Rehearsals Feature May Pay Preparations “But w'hat if it I'ains?” ■‘Rains? RAIN! It can’t rain!” “Oh” ... Tomorrow is May Day. Tomori'ow the Queen will he awakened by the singing of the May Day Carol . . . and every other senior will, lie listening with great pretentions. Tomorrow the day will drag and classes will seem longer. Yet somehow^ the time will finally reach 5:30 and then things will begin to happen. The dale will he overflowing with people and aim less chatter. Kids will be sitting cross-legged hi the lilies and stating wide-eyed at the Queen —for all they' know' she is a real queen and will live hai)pily ever after. And the Queen? Well, her heart will be beating a little faster and she will be happy and very proul. Every girl on the court will be happy and proud. “Heh, Stonie, the vic’s stuck!” ■ “Again!” “Uh huh” “Ooooooh . . . ’’ Tomori-ow will be May Day. Stonie will be rushing about the campus in frantic rages, gathering up the last bits of the costumes and props. She will be excited . . . nervous—every thing must go off right. The mikes will be all right . . . Mr. Lee will see to that. If only the dancers keep the circles T'ound—but they will! Tliey must! Of course they will, Stonie. The whole May Day will be perfect . . . forty- five minutes of the best May Day' ever. Yes, in forty-five minutes a wiiole year’s w'ork will be over. Scripts will be thi'own to the four winds. Costumes will l)e yanked off and tucked aw'ay on fifth floor Main until next May. All the pi’actices at 5:00 sharp will be forgotte?)—and the dancers will no longer worry about round circles. A whole year’s work over in forty-five minutes—a great re lief .. . and yet i)ei haps just a tinge of sadness. If you glance over your shoulder some minutes after six you will see the dale frightfully em pty . . . grass all mashed dow'n—paths tram pled—hut in a few' days it will take it’s hands from before its face and settle back into the silent life of nature . . . peaceful . . . until next Mav. Filth Column Reporting; Things are really buzzing these days, with May Day around the corner but we can’t tell you too much as we have to leave some thing for next wreck’s roving reporter to scoop! Prom the sound of things, we can expect a record crow'd, with everybodies’ Joes, Mam mas, Pappas, and Aunt Tillies floating around. Now W’e will have a one minute silent prayer dedicated to the weather man. But alas, girls, don’t worry, for remember Salem’s slogan: It just DOESN’T rain on May Day! Last week-end, if you were one of the un fortunate mortals who had to stay here, you could hardly recognize the dear old Alma Mater. Oarj^lina, Duke, Davidson lattrateted a large number of girls, and those that did stay here, had loads of company, and we must comment, the guests were really a cute bunch. ” e looked more like pre-w'ar Salem for a change! Those that didn’t go prom-trotting went or elsewhere Marie and Crowell went to Marion to welcome home a veteran of the Pacific; Gudge went to Sweetbriar, Sans lug gage (by mistake of course) Pink went to Salis bury, Jenny went home, and so did some others. The rest of us went to sleep! Our athletic abilities were further exceller- ated at the horse show Sat. afternoon, and congratulations go to Mary Alderson, Martha Lou and the others who rated prizes. You all of course saw the Table of Honor m the dming room the other night: Mother Strong, Julia Boaze, and Mariorie plus three handsome males. Seeing men under fifty in the dining room» really did raise our morale, and made the stew taste ever so much better. Flash . . . three ex-Salemites have arrived from the North, Avis, Veda, and Alyce. Wel come back, girls. The sick list is constantly changing these days. It s good to see Peggy 'Nimocks back sans measles . . . and Doris Swann without mumps (these “childhood” illnesses! . but we were sorry to hear that Treva Miller has to miss May Day (and quite a bit of scliool- work, incidently) because of a misbehaving appendix. Well, we’ll have to leave the rest of the nei\'s for next week. Watch out for the poison ivey, and have a grand time at May Day, and remember. IT DOESN’T RAIN ON MAY DAY AT SALEM!
