SECRETARY VISITS SALEM During the week-end of November 20, 21, 22, Miss Lumpkin, the student Y. W. C. A. Secretary, was a visitor in the college. She met with the cabinet members and their committees, arousing much enthusiasm. She gave many good ideas and the girls feel they derived much benefit from her visit. On Sunday evening the Y. W. held a vesper service in Memorial Hall. Dean Shirley rendered special music on the organ and the choir sang a special selection. Miss Lumpkin made a short talk on the purpose of the Y. W. C. A. After vesper the girls and faculty were invited into the Y. W. room where they met and talked with Miss Lumpkin. Miss Lumpkin left Monday for Charlotte, where she will be a visitor in the college there. H. R., ’21. THE NEW Y. W. ROOM. Ever since the first day of this school year, when the Y. W. cabinet got back to Salem and found that their old room had been taken over for a class room, they have been scheming to devise some plan to have a new room. These plans have at last been realized—and the old student council room in the basement, after much cut ting of cretonne, pounding of nails and critical inspection by each mem ber of the cabinet, has been converted into a most cozy living room. This room is at the disposal of all college girls. The cabinet wants you to thoroughly enjoy it. Use it as you use your living room at home. Dear Everybody: I thank the Editor for giving me this opportunity of telling of my work. Since August 1918 I haVe been working under the Home Mission Board of the Presbyterian Church in the mountains of this state. I am now in charge of the work at this place, which is eight miles from the railroad. Probably you wonder what I do out here! I will tell you briefly. I teach from the fourth through the eighth grade, superintend, play the piano, lead the singing, and teach a class in Sunday School. I visit among the people. One month my co-worker, Earline Coxe of Red Springs, N. C., and I, made one hundred and ninety- six visits. I nurse, and “Doctor” quite a bit. I helped make a coffin for an old lady during the “flu” epidemic. I attended a wedding at which a moun tain preacher performed the ceremony, and was almosted speechless when he called on me to “dismiss”! Twice I have had to conduct funerals, as a mii^ter could not come out here. This will probably give you an idea of the variety of my duties. The people among whom I woric are the purest Anglo-Saxons to be found. There is not a person of foreign birth in the country, and I was here six months before I saw a negro. iTiese people in struggling for a living in this rough country seem to have lost the Good News. They have been de nied the advantages that others have enjoyed. They have long been neg lected, but they make good when given a chance. That is a most encouraging feature of our work. My class-mates will remember that I used to say that I would never teach. Well, I am teaching, and I love it. My over-all boys and calico girls are Very dear to me. I want Mr. Heath* to know that I have used all the “i’ed” that he imparted to me, and I believe , that I could advance some new theories along that line! ' Present students, do your besi; in gym. work. More than once when I have had to deal with unruly young sters I have been glad of the physical training I had at Salem!!! The roads in this community are the creek beds. Old and young ride horse back. It is nothing unusual to see a mother and three or four children on one horse. I enjoy horse back riding very much, but friends, there is little romance in riding a balking mule, such as I rode Election Day. I will Jong remember the day I cast my first vote! I got up before daylight, rode the above mentioned mule six miles in the pouring rain, voted, and got back in time for school, which opens at eight o’clock. You see politics does not in terfere with my work! Once I visited a sick lady and had need of my thermometer, which I had forgotten. One of the men in the home offered to get it. Upon reach ing our room he said: “I want to git Miss Ray's temperature”. So many funny things happen, but there is a very serious side of my work which I have not mentioned. It is a pathetic thing to have grown peo ple tell you, with tears in their eyes, “Oh, I wish I could read!" It is otill sadder to see so many without Christ. Mine is a joyous work, though, and I hope all who bgiong to my Alma Mater are as happy as I. With love to all who love Salem, RUBIE RAY (“Rube")'. Class of 1916.
