EDITORIAL COMMENTS.
The spirit displayed by the teams
and by the side lines at the games on
Thursday afternoon was typical of the
spirit of Salem College, and of
'inanksgiving Day. It v/as truthfully
said that never lias there been better
sportsmanship displayed at Salem, ana
perhaps the fact that throughout the
day that essential feeling of praise
and thankfulness was not forgotten is
responsible for tne success of Xhanks-
givmg day.
The only work some people seem to
do around Salem College is on air-
looms.
When we iirst came off to school
our homefolks told us to be sure and
make the best of our opportunities,
and to catch Father Time by the fore
lock. By the way things look, the
poor old gentleman must be bald-
neaded, as so many of us have been
unable to go at his pace.
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
V.'hen Christmas presents you want
to buy.
Come to Main Hall on Monday and
try,
For tne Home Economics Club will sell
More pretty things than one can tell.
Various posters placed around the
school announce the coming sale by
the Home Ji^conomics Club on Monday
afternoon, between the hours of 1:30
and 6. This asle promises to be quite
a large and interesting one, and every
girl will do well to invest her money
in the attractive gifts which will be
displayed.
On Monday, Dec. 4th, at 1:30, there
will be a very important meeting of
the Student Self-Ciovernment Associa
tion in the recreation room of the of
the Alice Clewell building. At this
meetmg the two Freshmen represen
tatives for the council will be chosen,
and other matters of important busi
ness are to be discussed. Every col
lege girl is required to attend.
Dr. Eva G. Biake of the Department
of Social Education and Health of the
National W. C. A. is to be at Salem
from Dec. 4 to 10. This announce
ment is of great interest to the girls
wno remember Dr. Allison’s visit oi
last year, as Dr. Blake's work is of
like character. Arrangements are be
ing made to have Dr. Blake meet the
various classes, and any one desiring
individual conferences on health prob
lems should make immediate arrange
ments with Miss Charlotte Jackson or
Miss Foreman.
At the regular Friday night meet
ings of the Y. W. C. A. many inter
esting programs have been given, but
one of the most interesting of the
year, the Christmas service, will be
held on Friday night, December 8th.
Miss Mildred deBarritt will read one
of the beautiful Christmas stories, and
as many of the girls will remember
^r rendition, in former. Y. W. Christ
mas services of vanous Yuletide
stories, it is certain that the meeting
will be one of the most successful of
the year.
The Senior class, according to a
Salem custom of many
hold Christmas vespers in the library
on Sunday evening, Dec. 10th, at 6
o’clock. This service is always dear to
the hearts of every Salem girl, and, as
it announces, in a way, the approalch-
ing holidays, it holds added beauty and
attraction for everyone.
Representatives of the railway ser
vice will be at the college on Monday,
December 4th, to secure orders for the
tickets. These tickets will be paid for
on the following Monday, and any girl
intending to go home for the Christ
mas holidays on the train should make
arrangements next week.
CLEWELL BUILDING OPEN
Housewarming a Delightful Occasion
Hundreds Inspect New Building.
The new Alice Clewell building was
the scene of an informal housewarm
ing on the evening of November 28,
when friends and alumnae were the
guests of the board of trustees,
faculty and students. A large crowd
of people passed through the building
between the hours of 7:30 and 10:30
and inspected the most modem college
dormitory in the State.
Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler and the
board of trustees formed the receiv
ing line, and members of the faculty
were in various parts of the building
to greet the guests and make them
feel at home on their tour of inspec
tion. The rooms were most pleasing
in every way and were well kept by-
those that claimed them as their own.
The furnishings are modem and very
convenient. The house warming was
held in order that the alumnae and
friends of the college, who were re
sponsible for the erection of the new
dormitory might inspect their splen
did achievement.
The Alice Clewell Memorial build
ing is the first of three new buildings
that are to be erected through the en
dowment fund. The other two build
ings are to be constructed some time
in the near future and when complete
will do much toward relieving the
crowded conditions that have hitherto
existed at the college.
During the evening hundreds of
visitors inspected the new building,
and numerous favorable comments on
its appearance were made. After the
visitors completed their inspection of
the building they were served with re
freshments, consisting of punch and
cakes, by the Seniors.
