As we look back ward over its course we see that many notable and important things have been accomplished. The Salemite be gun its career in the fall; the Thanks giving games weer very successful; a method was introduced by the faculty of eliminating undesirable students, thus raising the scholastic standing; spring holidays were given for the first time; an interesting and success ful hockey tournament was held; the system of majors and minors was in stituted, and many other things too numerous to be recounted, took place. What a year to be proud of! Much has been accomplished toward the at tainment of the A1 goal for which we are working. The splendid co-opera tion between the faculty and student body has made this remarkable prog ress possible. Success of this kind is encouraging. Sail on, Salem!

Class in the Foreground Although many of the people about us have not realized the good and ef ficient work that the Home Economics Department has done heretofore, this department has been brought more and more this year before people who have never before been interested in it. The Sophomore Cookery class ha.« accomplished a great deal this year. Three distinct kinds of work have been done in the second semester. The Monday period has been given over to demonstration. Of these there have been two kinds. The first were the big two-hour demonstrations given jointly by two girls each Monday. When everyone had taken part in a long demonstration, each gave a short single demonstration which lasted only twenty minutes or half an hour. The demonstrations improved as more and more were given, and the prac tice obtained has already been of value to the girls in a material way. When the Government put on the “Drink More Milk” campaign in town the Salem girls were called upon to demonstrate milk products. They were greatly complimented upon the way in which they carried out these demonstrations. Another time, when the “Use Home Products” campaign was put on by the local merchants and manufacturers of food products, they were again called upon and did credit to the excellent training which they had had. Each Friday the different kinds o ftable service have been taken up fully and some form of entertain ment has been given. The work has all been done by the girls themselves. This involved the planning of the de tails, the actual work of preparation, the sei-ving, and even the duty of each girl of acting as hostess to the guests at one time or another. All of this has required a great deal of work and often work overtime, but the girls feel that their efforts have been compen sated for by the results. Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler, most of the members of the faculty, the seniors, the members of the sophomore class in other de partments, have all been invited to some form of entertainment given by this class. The last event of the season given by the Home Economics Department was the Fashion Show on the after noon of May 20th in Main Hall, given by the members of the Domestic Art Department, assisted by the Soph omore Cookery class. This was quite a success throughout and the visitors were very much pleased with the beautiful waists and gowns displayed and worn by the ones who worked so faithfully in making the gingham, or gandy and taffeta dresses, and the ex quisite handwork of the hemstitched shirtwaists. Next year great things are planned for this department and many needed additions are hoped for. The most noteworthy of the new additions is the practice house which is to be used by the senior class in dietetics. Each girl in this class is to live in the practice house for a certain length of time and put into practice the things which they have learned in the four years of work along this line. This is the thing which each undergraduate Home Economics girl looks forward to most.
