I
THE SALEMITE
SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS IN
EVIDENCE'AT SALEM
The spirit of Christmas is already
in the air at Salem. The railroad
officials were here last Monday to
take the orders for tickets. With
breathless suspense, the long line
waited to give their orders, some
going to Florida, some to Georgia,
to South Carolina, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Virginia, and New York. On
next Monday, the men will be back
again with the tickets.
Saturdaj' night, there will be a
Christmas banquet in the dining
room and then a Christmas tree in
the living room with a real Santa
Claus. Sunday, there will be a
wonderful Christmas vesper service
in the library. Bishop Rondthaler
will preside and Christmas carols
will be sung. There will be a Christ
mas tree with small figures, repre
senting the shepherds, Mary and
the Christ-child.
Then when Wednesday comes—
all aboard for the best place on
earth, home.
WALKING CLUB GOES ON
REGULAR SATURDAY
HIKE
Last Saturday afternoon the
Walking Club, under the leadership
of Dean Shirley, took a delightful
hike out by Granville and through
the woods to Ardmore. When going
through a narrow woods road, the
leaders with Dean Shirley thought
they would play a trick on the
others by hiding behind some trees;
so when the hikers with Miss Jack
son came to this point, thinking they
were lost, and turning to see what
was the matter, they discovered the
others in hiding.
After this they walked steadily
and at 5:45 all twenty walkers were
pleased to hear the dinner bell on
Salem Campus.
MISS BARROW ENTERTAINS
BUSINESS STUDENTS
On Monday afternoon Miss Bar
row delightfully entertained all of
her business students, at the home
of her sister on South Main Street.
The guests were received in the
spacious living room, where they
spent the afternoon making Christ
mas presents. Chocolate and vanilla
brick ice cream and delicious cakes
were served. The afternoon was en
joyed to its fullest extent by all
who were so fortunate as to be in
cluded in the invitation.

The following is an extract from
the November issue of the “Inter-

:pecial interest to the students on
■^he eve of the great Indianapolis
Quadrennial Convention of the
Student Volunteer Movement, which
is to be held at the end of the
month:

coasts of the Northern American
continent but reach out in eager in
quiry to every part of the world.

vivid to appreciate another Nation’s
problems from the other Nation’s
point of view. Whose sympathies
are sufficiently wide to include every
son of man in need. Whose courage

and intolerance, and whose humility
is sufficiently deep to escape the
false pride consequent upon perse
cution.

and realists in their actions.

citizens of the world society in their

The Alumni News Fiction of the

November 8, is most original. On
)ne page, there is the Class Pro

;he other are the pictures of the
.nembers with their names and pre
sent occupations showing just how
they have, or have not, fulfilled the
prophecy.

'The “Davidsonian” records the
recent event which will be an en-
;icing bit for gossips:
LURID SCANDAL IN
CHEMISTRY LAB.
Al. K. Hall, and two goodlooking
young ladies were discovered in the
Chemistry Laboratory at an early
hour Monday morning by the watch
man on his round. They had evi
dently stayed there all night. The
affair is to be regretted and every
effort is being made to hush it up
as much as possible. It is thought
that the case will be tried before
the tennis court sometime this week.
It is with deepest regret and sym
pathy that we are compelled to
publish the names of the young
ladies—Misses Mollie Kule and
Jennie Raytor.

MACDOWELL CLUB PRE
SENTS A TALE OF
TWO CITIES
All people connected with Salem
College are glad when a moving
picture is announced to be shown
in the following Saturday. Salem
feels that it owes much to the Mac-
Dowell Club for bringing to Win-
iton-Salem “A Tale of Two Cities,’'
a picture taken from the famous
and widely read story of that name
by Charles Dickens. It was with
rreat anticipation that students of
both College and Academy, faculty,
md friends gathered in Memorial
ilall on Saturday night. Everyone
,vas expecting something fine, but
they were not anticipating a picture
which might be classed with “The
Birth of a Nation” and other
uper-productions. The Tale of Two
'ities is a picture of the French
Revolution, and depicts the people,
.‘ustoms, and terrible conditions
vhich existed during this period. It
s a Fox production with William
/’arnum portraying the leading
character.
In no other way can history be-
;ome so real to people as by seeing
he happenings and events. When
ne is not able to see the actual
appenings, there is perhaps no
>etter way of learning than through
,.ie medium of moving pictures. Per-
laps “A Tale of Two Cities” is not
he most entertaining picture that
he MacDowell Club has brought
o Salem. It is not the most amusing
jieture, but it is by far the most
nstructive. Everyone who saw it
reels that she has seen a picture
vhich is truly great.
