EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The athletic season is at hand,
bringing with it hard work, friendly
rivalry, enthusiastic class spirit, and
the rewards of a game well played.
The Seniors began wearing their class
colors on Wednesday and the other
classes have followed. Teams, it is
quite evident that your respective
classes are backing you with all their
loyalty and enthusiastic interest. They
want a peppy game, a quick game, an
interesting game, and above all, a
clean game. Foul play on the part of
the winners will take the joy and the
glory from the most spectacular vic
tory, and, on the part of the losers,
will plunge them into a shame and a
defeat that is real.
Every student on the campus will be
gathered around the court on Thurs
day to witness the inter-class games,
and excitement will run high. Class
spirit will reign supreme, and that
friendly and wholesome rivalry that is
the making of an event of this kind
will be evidenced on all sides. It is
possible that, in all this crowd, an un
friendly and antagonistic spirit will be
aroused, that it may even be made
manifest, and spread; this is possible,
but not probable. It is wrong, un
reasonable, entirely destructive, and
undesirable. The right attitude and
good sportsmanship are needed not
only on the field of battle, but in
those who watch and cheer.
members of the University of North
Carolina Music Club. The occasion
was a reception in the living room of
Alice Clewell Building.
The guests were greeted at the door
by Miss Josephine Shaffner, Mrs. H.
E. Rondthaler, Miss Lula May Stipe,
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Heath, and Mr.
C. H. Higgins. During the evening a
delicious salad course with punch was
served by Misses Eleanor Shaffner,
Mary Pfohl, Marion Cooper, Lois
Crowell, Alice Dunklee, Jean Abell,
Lillian Moseley, Evelyn Tucker and
Louise Latta.
The Christmas holidays are drawing
near, and with them a respite from the
cares and duties of college life, but not
until they actually arrive, should there
be a laxness on the part of us who are
students. The results of the defi
ciency reports ,have been of great in
terest, and the percentage of failures
and near failures are, in some cases,
quite alarming. Don’t wait till ex
aminations make of your deficiency a
permanent record, but now, while
there is yet time, improve your stand
ing.
The student body as a whole, are
much interested in the scholastic prog
ress of Salem in this critical period of
her long history, and greatly desire
that she be recognized by the National
Association.

Before the beginning of the present
term, Alice Clewell Memorial Building
was not formally thrown open for
visiting, and, consequently, only a
small percentage of interested persons
has been given the opportunity of in
specting the new dormitory. On
Tuesday evening, Nov. 28, from 7:30
to 10:30, the students, faculty, and
Board of Trustees of Salem College
will act as hosts and hostesses at a
general housewarming, to which every'
student and resident of Winston-
Salem is invited. At that time, the
visitors will be given the opport.inity
of seeing the living arrangements of
the most modem college dormitory in
the South.
