1772 Motto—“Sail on, Salem” Vol. Ill WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. DECEMBER 2, 1922. No. 28 SENIORS TAKE VICTORY In Champion Game Team of the Pur ple and White Runner-Up—Rulfs, Griffin, Shaffner and Chinnis for Seniors, and Barnes, for Freshmen, Star in Final Game. In the Thanksgiving series of games, which were marked for their pep and hard playing from the first to the last, the Seniors were proven to be the champions of the college. The first half of the game between the Seniors and Juniors was called promptly at two-thirty. For a while the ball was tossed back and forth, with no results, and interest in the sidelines ran high. Finally the Red and White scored a goal; a double foul was called soon after, and Griffin brought the score of the Black and Gold to one point. After this the Seniors rallied, and the ball for the most part, was played at their end of the court. The good work of ShafY- ner. Senior side-center, and Warren and Chinnis, guards, made it almost impossible for the ball to reach the Junior goal, while Rulfs and Griffin made score after score. The Red and White, with a free throw, raised their score one more point, and when time was called the score stood 13-3, favor of the Seniors. Sophomore-Freshman Battle The first half of the Sophomore- Freshman game was called imme diately. At the vei-y outset a free throw was won by Barnes, Freshman forward, followed by one score by Armfield, of the Sophomores. This was followed by another goal by Arm field, and although the Freshmen were conceded the strongest team, things looked promising for the Ited and Black. At this point the Purple and White recovered, and the score rose rapidly in their favor. The feat’iies of this half was the playing of Abel and Armfield for the Red and Black, and of Bames, Graeber, and Jones for the Purple and White. When time was call^ the score was 10-3, favor of the Freshmen. Second Half Senior-Junior At the conclusion of this half the second half or the Seniors and Juniors was called. The Juniors took the first tip off, but the Senior center recovered the ball, passed it up, and a goal was scored by Rulfs. Again, backed by the good work of the Senior centers and forwards, the ball was kept at the Senior goal, and the Senior score was rapidly raised by Rulfs and Griffin. At this point Shaffner, E., by a free throw gained a point for the Red and White. The ball was again tossed from Senior to Senior and four goals were made by Griffin and Rulfs respectively, raising the Senior score eight more points. One more free throw was made by Turlington, Red and White, and the score stood 27-5, favor of the Black and Gold. Second Half Sophomore-Freshman The Sophs made the first tip-off, but Bames scored for the Freshmen by a tree throw, followed by a goal. The Sophomores rallied at this point and attempted to batter down the of the Freshmen. TTirough the co-operation of the entire team and the feature work of Armfield, Abel and Womble, their score rose rapidly. For a while (Continued on page four) THANKSGIVING BANQUET A GALA OCCASION Thanksgiving evening at 6 o’clock a delightful banquet was held in the college dining hall. The decorations were carried out in yellow and white, Salem College colors. Long streams of yellow and white extended from the ceiling in the center of the room to all comers and sides of the room. The team tables were arranged in the middle of the room—one long table al most the entire length of the room for the four basket ball teams and two tables across and adjacent to the middle of the basket ball table on either side, for the two volley ball teams. The place cards for the mem bers of the teams were booklets re sembling basket and volley balls, which contained pictures of the teams. The place cards for the other guests were pumpkins, very suggestive of Thanks giving. The guests assembled in the dinmg hall at the ringing of the bell. At 6:15 the six teams made their triumphal entry. Before taking their seats they sang the team song, “Ball Days.” Miss Josephine Shaffner, mis- tres of ceremonies, called upon Mr. Heath to ask the blessing. A ten-piece orchestra, conducted by Laura Howell, rendered charming music during the banquet. After the first course, “When We Meet Together” was sung by every body, led by Eloise Chesson, college cheer-leader. Miss Josephine Shaffner, head of basket-ball introduced Dr. Rondthaler with the following w'ords: “I am just so glad that there were so many people interested in the games; and I would like to say that there was better spirit than ever be fore. I hope, however, that you weren’t so interested in the playing that you didn’t notice the time-keeper. He has been keeping time at Salem ever since 1 can remember and that has been a long time. I know he will tell you how much he enjoys blowing the whistle at the cnicial moment.” Dr. Rondthaler said that he was sure that Miss Shaffner had him mix ed up with the town clock. He present ed the cup which has been won for the fourth and last time. It is interesting to note that the cup was first won by the same team that won it last. The other two times it was won by the class of ’22. Members of the former winning teams were present at the banquet. The new Welfare cup was presented to Miss Mabel Chinnis, cap tain of the Senior team, who respond ed for her team. Next Dr. Rondthaler read the fol lowing interesting telegrams from alumnae and former faculty: “Best wishes to Salem g'“S. Con gratulations to the teams.” Helena Keys, Ex-Physical Dir. “Across the many miles that separ ate me from my beloved Alma Mater I send a heart full of love and good wishes for her continued success. Laud the winners. Cheer the losers, and special greetings for the Red and White.” Nancy Hankins, 20. “I join the host of Salemites who wish continued success and service of the best school and the finest folks I know. My heart is with you today and I’d adore being there in person. Happy Thanksgiving!” Marie Edgerton, ’21. “Why is Texas so far away from the good Old North State? But dis tance makes no difference. I am thinking of you. Wish I were there to get in on a little of that Thanksgiving pep so characteristic of Salem. Best luck to everj'body, especially our little sisters. Purple and White.” Nina Sue Gill, ’22. “The attractions on Broadway are not so alluring as to make me forget Salem and this eventful day. I am wishing her all the success in the world.” Marion Propst Harper, Ex-24. (N.B.—Marion telegraphs from her honeymoon.) “There is never a wind that blows but brings me thoughts of Salem. My best love for everyone this Thanksgiv ing Day.” Maizie Vemon, Ex-’24. “Greetings for everybody at Salem. Hope the Red and White vnns the cup.” Elgie Nance, Ex-’24. Miss Shaffner next called on Mabel Chinnis, captain of the Senior team. Miss Chinnis said that she was proud of the spirit shown throughout the games. She said that three years ago when her team were Freshmen they won the cup. They became con ceited over this and lost it for the next two years. Now they are no longer conceited and are mighty glad to be the winners again. The Senior class sang to Dr. Rond thaler, the team and to their class. Miss Eleanor Shaffner, captain of the Junior team, was next introduced. She responded in appropriate words, after which her class sang to Miss Stipe, their team, and their sister class. Mary Womble, captain of the Sophomore team, was next intro duced. She spoke for her team, after which the Sophomore class sang to Bishop Rondthaler, to their sister class, their team and their class. Elsie Barnes, captain of the Fresh man, was next called upon. She re sponded. The Freshman sang their class song to Miss Stipe, their sister class, their team and to their class teacher. Miss Rodgers. Pud Griffin, president of the Athle tic Association, spoke. She said that she hoped the fine spirit and en thusiasm shown in volley ball and basket ball would be carried out later on in hockey, base ball and track. Alice Rulfs, head of volley ball, said that she was glad that so many more had come out for volley ball this year and that volley ball would hereafter be a permanent feature at Salem. Miss Shaffner introduced the next speaker in the following w’or^: “It is not beneath our dignity to hear from Mr. Heath.” Mr. Heath stated that he had sev eral telegrams which had escaped Dr. Rondthaler’s notice and which he would like to read. “As a widower must decline kind in vitation to commencement. If, how ever, Charlie Higgins holds out for three more years I will consider your proposal.” Cameron Morrison, Governor. To Misses Desha and Grace Keeney: (Continued on page three) THE VOLLEY BALL GAME Both Sides Fight Hard and Games Stand Two to One. The games played last Saturday af ternoon, November 25, between the Sister Class Volley Ball teams afforded much excitement to the on-lookers. A large number of rooters filled the side Inies, and cheer after cheer was given as the games progressed. It would have been hai'd to decide who was more enthusiastic and full of pep—the players or the spectators. The game was a very closely fought one, and filled the side linen with terror one moment and with joy the next. The first game went to the Senior- Sophomore team with a score of 21. The second was 21 in favor of the Junior-Freshman team thus giving one game to each team. The final and de cisive game was one of nerve-racking torture while each score mounted steadily. After hard playing by both sides, the score reached 21—in favor of the Junior-Freshman team, thus giving it the victory. The line up was as follows: Senior-Sophomore—Elizabetii Zach ary, Captain, Sallie Tomlinson, Rosa James, Rachel Jordan, Edith Hanes, Ruth Reeves, Julia Hairston, Katie Holshouser, Margaret Whitaker, Raye Dawson, sub. Junior-Freshmen — Ruth Brown, Captain, Lois Neal, Mary Alta Rob bins, Estelle Hooks, Amelia Galloway, Evelyn 'lucker, Elizabeth Shaw, Mar garet Davis, Kathryn Emmart, Marion Stafford, sub. MRS. VANNESS ADDRESSES THE HISTORY CLUB. Women in Politics Subject of Talk. Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock the History Club was addressed, on the occasion of its first meeting by Mrs. F. W. Vanness, a member of the New Jersey state legislature Delightful informality characterized the meeting. The members of the Club were seated in groups in the sit ting room of the Alice Clewell Build ing. The meeting was opened by Miss Alice Lyerly, president of the Club. Miss Lyerly called upon Mr. Heath to introduce the speaker. Mrs. Vanness very interestingly and clearly spoke on Woman’s Place in Politics. She said that when people ask her how she became the successful politician she invariably answers that she ha been married for twenty years and lias, therefore, had twenty years of training. This gave her executive administrative and legislative experi ence in her family, therefore she was prepared for these three requirements. Another excuse given by women for not entering politics is that they are not entering politics is that they are too much interested in their homes. Mrs. Vanness s^d that the reason she entered politics is because she is inter ested in her home. Everything con nected with the home is dominated by politics. Improper conditions which affect the home can be remedied only through politics, therefore women who are interested in their homes should also be interested in politics. Mrs. Vanness says ttiat women must work through party organization to get w'hat they want. They must choose their party and then work with it. The speaker gave opportunity for the girls to ask any questions which they wanted answered.
