“This has been the best year that eU, Margaret Smith, Eva Flowers,
Salem has ever had”. You hear it Elizabeth Roop, Elizabett
everywhere, and it’s true. The faculty Eleanor Shaffner, Polly Wolff, and
says it—erxamine the scholastic stand- Amelia Galloway,
ing of the classes; the Athletic Asso
ciation says it—take a look at the chart
next the postoffice in Main Building;
the Student Self-Government Associa
tion says it—there has been less trou
ble than ever before. It’s been a good
year, and it’s a fact to be proud of.
It’s a good year nearly done.
Nearly done! There are still a few
weeks left, and this is no time to grow
careless or neglectful. Things could
happen that would spoil our record.
Some exciting things have happened
in Dean Stipe’s office recently—excit
ing at least for those who are return
ing. It’s as thrilling as having your
fortune told, or betting on the ball
game. You approach the office door
with high hopes. You enter. Your
name is called and you go over to the
table. It is with fear and trembling
that you reach out to draw a little
I white slip. Hope takes a back seat.
You pick it up and glance hastily at
the number thereon. You say, “Oh,
joy! it’s the very one I wanted”, or
“Oh, horrors! I did not want to get on
second”, as the case may be. How
ever the outcome, you have drawn
your room for the year 1923-24, and
your fate is sealed.
The girls who wish to are allowed i
to keep their old rooms, but if a j
change is desired, the drawing of the i
lots is necessary.

EXAM.
EXEMPTION FOR
SENIORS.
The plan of exam exemptions for
Seniors has not gained the approval of
the entire faculty as yet. What’s the
matter? We believe it’s a good thing,
and that it could be adopted and ap
plied w'ith success. The proposition is
given below with the answer of the
faculty.
Exam. Exempti(nn for Seniors.
We, the members of the President’s
Forum as representatives of all the
organizations of the college, present to
the faculty for their consideration and
approval the following proposition:
That any senior having as a semes
ter grade as much as ninety or over
on any subject for the second semester
shall be exempt from the final exam
ination, or its substitute on that sub
ject. No senior repeating a course be
cause of a previous failure may be
exempt from the examination in that
course.
The Answer of the Faculty.
To the President Students’ Forum,
In reply to your recent petition rela
tive to excuse from final examinations
on the part of Seniors under certain
conditions, I beg to state that the
faculty has given this whole matter
lengthy and very thorough investiga
tion. Up to the present time it has
been impossible for the faculty to ar
rive at anything like a unanimous
opinion on the subject. Since any
change in the present procedure
would need to involve the largest co
operation on the part of all members
of the faculty and would influence
every course offered by the faculty in
which Seniors participate, I am un
willing to have the change instituted
until there is practical unanimity with
reference to a new method.
We appreciate the student inquiry
and have not abandoned the matter
but are not up to the present able to
reach a satisfactory decision. The
matter, thCTefore, continues to remain
open.
Yours very truly,
Howard E. Rondthaler.
TWO SENIORS COME OF AGE
Inherit Vast Store of Good Wishes.
Lord Carnavon, in his most ecstatic
moments, ne’er unearthed from old
Tut’s tomb as rare treasures as did
the hoard of guests who invaded “Jo”
Shaffner’s room on Friday night. The
purpose of this jubilee was to cele
brate the advent of two seniors into
that sublime state known as “free,
w'hite, and twenty-one”. These new
members admitted to Uncle Sarn’s
polls are Josephine Shaffner and Alice
Lyerly.
Whereas those musty Egyptian |
treasures tend to satisfy our visual
sense only, the cake contributed by a
twentieth century “Tut” put the 3.400-
yoar-old king to shame by filling both
the visual and gustatory requirements.
Following this culinary gift of
“Tut”, whom all acquainted with th:
Shaffner household know with pleas
ure, we did not pronounce the conven
tional “Amen”, for other delectables
in the form of an additional cake, and
bon bons of all descriptions lay-
waiting.
Those guilty of massacre were: “Jo”
Shaffner, “Hickory” Lyerly, Dot Ses-
soms, Marion Cooper, Ella Aston,
“Lou” Woodard, Eleanor Shaffner,
“Jim” Pfohl. “E. P.” Parker, “Stroud”,
“Pud” Griffin, Hannah Weaver, and
E. Connor.

OLD CABINET ENTERTAINS
THE NEW.
On Sunday afternoon, March 25th,
from five to six, the old cabinet enter
tained the new, together with the ad
visory board, informaly in the living
room on the second floor of Alice
Clewell building. Chicken salad, ice
tea, crackers and sandwiches were
served and the hour passed in a very
delightful manner. The vesper ser
vice on Blue Ridge, to which all ad
journed, came as a peculiarly fitting
close for such an hour together.
“TIT-FOR-TAT”
Another test has been assigned!
That means a good night’s work.
The teachers seem to think that we
Are prone to loaf and shirk.
Not satisfied with monthly test
And grinding daily task,
I'hey heap it on right cheerfully—
Not thinking w'hat they ask.
An unexpected quiz or two, ^
A “self-examination”
I really think it all demands
A little explanation.
We protest and we storm in vain—
There’s nothing we can do,
But wait till we are teachers,
And we’ll heap the work on, too.
To: Mr. Heath.
