I REPRESENT SALEM.
Whether you will or whether you
won’t, you are bound to be a member
of the I. R. S. The responsibilities ex
pressed through this organization are
yours. They are imposed neither by
yourself, nor by the organization, but
by the very fact that you are a student
at Salem. Wherever you go you will
represent, to those with v/hom you are
associated, your Alma Mater, either to
her credit or to her shame, is an in
evitable and a natural responsibility,
and one to be taken seriously. The I.
R. S. came into being as a recognition
of this fact; it is a banding together of
those Salemites who wish to represent
their college fairly and loyally. Repre
sentatives from each class are chosen
to confer upon the subject from time
to time during the year.
Let I. R. S. be your watchword.

The London Saturday Review tells
us of a reported treaty between Soviet
Russia and the Angora govemment
which “looks to their i-.ommon control
of the Straits, v/'hich, it scarcely need
be said, would be an unfortunate thing
for the rest of Europe. A note has ap
peared to the Foreign Minister of Eng
land, France and Italy, protesting
against the allied blockadc of the
Black Sea. This note is a move of i
Soviet Russia in her aim “at partici
pation in the Conference that is to de
cide the status of Constantinople and
the Straits.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS OF VARIED
INTERESTS AT WEDNESDAY
MORNING CHAPEL SERVICE.
On Wednesday morning the chapel
service was a blendmg of old and new.
ihe Scripture lesson and the special
inusic were reminders of the old Y. P.
M. There was also the discussion of
school activities, which has become the
midweek chapel service.
Miss Minnie Smith aimounced that
a club was to be organized this week
for all speakers of French, whether
/nembeis of the student body or facul
ty. The purpose of the club is three
fold: facility in speaking French,
knowledge of the land of France, and
social entertainment.
Dr. Rondthaler told of Miss Nannie
Sheets, an alumna of Salem, who had
gone in search of health to the aband
oned mming camp, Valley View, Ariz.
Very recently this abandoned village
has been made into a sanatorium. Miss
Sheets has been made dietician of the
institution. Miss Sheets h^ sent to
Salem a remarkable collection of the
many cacti that are found in the arid
west. These are labeled and on exhi
bition here at Salem.
Dr. Rondthaler spoke of athletics in
school. Sixty-five per cent of all col
lege students are engaged in voluntary
athletics. The percentage of boarders
taking part in athletics is even nigher,
being seventy-five per cent. The girls
Oi: both college and academy were urg
ed to participate in sports.
Chapel was closed early in order
that all might enjoy the remainder of
the hour outdoors, for the day was as
good as the description given it, when
Dr. Rondthaler said it was “matchless
and supremely beautiful.”
WELCOMING DINNER PARTY,
A reunion vnth all the ordinary
thrills and many an extra for it was a
Salemite reunion! On Saturday even

outdoor chill, a dinner party was held

Boren and Mildred Parrish, ’22, and

Misses Elizabeth Gillespie, ’22 ani

Edith and Marjorie Hunt, ’24. A doQ-
eious dinner and delightful time were
enjoyed by all.

FAREWELL!
(Apologies to Bums)
l^arewell ye alcoves, small and tight!
The servants destiny
Those were our home through many a
night
And there most willingly.
Sae vantingly, sae wantonly
Sae dauntinly gaed me
We played a game and danced it
’round
And laughed the fun to see.
Oh! what is fun by revelry
In many a college cove?
I’ve dared the bells and stayed up late
And ’round the halls I’d rove.
We’d meet when gone were all the
lights
And bring to all some food;
There was no girl in all our sight
But for its pleasure sued.
I've lived a life in alcoves dear
In them I love to see
It bums my heart, they must depart
And not revenged be.
Now farewell, alcoves, srAi-,11 and tight.
Where fiiendships come a-bloom
May coward shame distaiii his rame
The wretch who wants a room!
THE BUSY SIGN.
(Apologies to Shakespeare)
Beyond the busy sign
Who pleasures must resign
And train her silly head
Unto dry facts and dead
Come hither, come hither, come hither.
Here shall she see
No enemy
But studies and rough weather
Wlio doth her friends make mad.
And has them call her bad,
Seeking to leave them out.
Unable them to rout,
Come hither, come hither, come hither,
Here shall she see
No enemy
But studies and rough weather.
