Another _vear almost gone ! good one? Is the last impression to be a “Y” WEEK OBSERVED BY SALEM COLLEGE STUDENTS Every spring in practically every college—even the most enthusiastic of them — there comes a general “lag” in college activities. In order to counteract this tendencj' on the part of the student body, the Y. W. C. A., under the capable leadership of its President, Marjorie Hunt, has launched a new movement known as “Y Week.” At the regular Y. W. meeting last week, Margaret Smith, who is at the head of the Publicity Department, introduced the new campaign, and its new purpose—namely, to arouse student interest. She explained how every member of the student body could co-operate in the movement by paying the pledges; for it is the desire of the executive lioard that the budget money be collected. Eva Flowers was in charge of the posters for the week; and these pos ters appeared at various places throughout the building. The chairman of the World Fel lowship Department made a very urgent announcement in chapel on Tuesday morning in which she ex pressed the desire—on the part of the Y. W.—for used clothing to be sent to needy students abroad. Last year, she reminded the student body, the response to a similar appeal was generous; and this year Salem Col lege does not want to fall short of her past reputation. riic expanded chapel service on \\ ednesday was made particularly imj)ressive by a selection which the ’i. . choir sang—“Praise God in the Sanctuary.’ Laura Howell is at the head of this music depart ment. I'riday proved an eventful day at 1 Salem. In the afternoon, Elizabeth! Roop and her committee, which, makes up the Social Department, ■ gave a lovely birthday party for the; girls whose birthdays occur in Feb ruary and in March. At dinner that night, each student found at her place a tiny “Y. W.” place card bearing the invitation— Let s go to Y. W.” Elizabeth I’arker announced that on everj' Thursday evening the Social Serv ice Department visits the city Y. W. C. A., and that those who desired to attend the services would sign up at her room. And then, at the meeting on P'ri- day night, the organization enjoyed a real treat when Aliss F>liza Gaston Moore,—who W'as a graduate of the class of 1923, and the president of the \. W. C. A. last year—was in troduced as speaker of the evening. Her talk, full of the enthusiasm so characteristic of her, was greatly v.'clcomed by those who were pres ent. The entire student body was glad to have Aliss Moore here—new girls w'ho had just met her, and her friends of long-standing—and it seemed quite appropriate that “Y Week” should be concluded bv her talk. LIBERTY BELL ALWAYS ON VIEW rile Liberty bell, treasured American relic, will be made visible to the public, daj^ and night, sum mer and winter, under plans form ulated by Wilfred Jordan, curator of Independence hall, where the bell rests. Heretofore thousands of visitors have failed to see the famous old bell because the building is closed to the public during certain hours. Under the new plan it is j)roposed to place at the rear portals of Independence hall a Georgian grill of wrought iron W'ork, so open in character that the bell may be clearly seen at all times. At night it will be illuminated with flood lights. CALENDAR Monday, March 21— 8:15 P.M. Graduating Piano Recital of Lois Straley. Tuesday, March 25— 3:00 P.M. Tennis and Golf. 1:30 P.M.

JUNIOR CLASS HAS TRIAL OF FACULTY On 'I’uesday night the Junior Class gave a most entertaining per formance, called “The Trial of the Faculty.” The trial was held iii the recreation room of Alice Clewell building, and the session was opened bv the council song, which was as follows: “The council meets tonight, To do its work so right, In holding power. Girls must do this and that. Teachers do thus and so, VV'hate’er the council sa_ys. Has to be done.” The council members were imper- ;onated by members of the Junior Class. Polly Hawkins, representing Morgaret Russell, presided. The following faculty members were broughtt up for trial: Mr. Campbell Mary Hill Mr. Heath Elizabeth Leight Dean Shirley Constance Allen The Dean’s penalty was that he allowed to play nothing except Jazz music in chapel, blisses Rogers, Taylor, Osborne and Hall were re stricted to three telephone calls and seven evening engagements each week. Mr. Heath and Mr. Campbell had imposed on them sentences ap- proproiate to their crimes. 'J'he council then discussed the direful question of the Junior-Senior Prom. One of the members sug gested that that several of the coun-’ cil girls be stationed in the campus to watch the dates on this eventful night. The motion was made and .'arried, and the president ajjpointed several Pirls as guards. The meeting was a profitable one, for other matters of importance were discussed and duly settled. One member stated that the funds were in a deplorable condition and that the administration planned to econ- onn'ze by permitting the students to be absent from breakfast. One of the girls indignantly spoke of the fact that girls could not have a good time in the librarj' and that they could not take out and keep books wlienever they wished. The coun cil decided that the library should be used as a place of social gather ing and that books might be taken out at any time. The council repeated their motto, “Resolved always to keep up our official duty of snooping,” and then adjourned to attend Keith’s. Professor—“I’ll give you just one day to hand in that paper.” Stude—“All right. How about the Fourth of July?” STUDENT CONFERENCE ■ DELEGATES AT Y. W. C. A. The Salem delegates to the Stu dent Volunteer Conference held at Queen’s College, Charlotte, N. C., ?ave a most interesting report at the regular Y. W. C. A. meeting Friday evening. Tliose who attended the conference were Margaret Smith. Mary Howard Turlington, Marjorif Hunt, “Peggy” Holbrook, Marion Neely, Margaret Hurt, and Sarah Herndon. Mary Howard Turlington con ducted the meeting. A Scriptural passage emphasized at the confer ence was reail by Margaret Hurt, after which Marjorie Hunt led in a prayer for the continued blessing upon the recent conference and the work outlined for the coming year. Margaret Smith then sang “Ilave Thine Own AV^ay.” Peggy Holbrook in a charming, enthusiastic manner told of the social side of the confer ence. From the moment of arrival until the school-work train pulled out from the Charlotte station one felt the sj)irit of comradeship and the friendly hand of the conference group. Queen’s girls were perfect hostesses and gave such a warm and hearty reception that many were prone to stay. Even the policemen in the street seem to put forth an extra effort to make the visitors’ sta}' in their city a pleasant one. Tht: climax of the social features was the reception extended to the delegates by Queen’s College. ]\Iarion Neely spoke of Dr. Rob ert P. General Secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement, whose presence at this conference was of double interest as he has the distinction of being the originator of this wonderful moverpent. He used a most striking illustration in his description of Christians, com paring them to a bed, a bushel bas ket, and a candle. She first illus trates the lazy Christian, the second the Christian who tries to accumU' late everything for himself, and the third the Christian who lets his ligb^ shine out in the world of darkness for Christ. Sarah Herndon spoke interesting ly on the purpose of theconference, the devotional exercises, the progress of evangelical Christianity and sonic of the most striking things brought out by Dr. Vaugh and Dr. Robert P. Wilder. The conference was both for those who have volunteered an‘1 those who had not. The motto was' “Evangelization of the world in this generation.” Dr. Wilder gave six reasons for having foreign mission aries : First, we are descendants oi foreign missionaries and it is our responsibility to carry on the work begun by them; secondly, the world is shrinking, for modern methods transportation have brought the countries closer together;'^and ont force will eventually overpower the other, so that the standard will bs either lowered or raised; thirdly, the position of our own country with it^ wealth and geographical position a strategic one; fourthly, people need us, for our religion is in manV ways better than theirs; fifthly, the past work in foreign fields has been so bountifully blessed; and, sixthly^ the command of Christ was “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, bap' tizing thehi in the name of the F'ather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” Alinays A Tf'ay Roomniate (angrih*)—Am I ever to have my wqy about anything? Mate (very calmly)—Oh ycS> when you agree with me. How many of the things you do and say would you like your asso ciates to remember as characteristic of you?' + + t + + + Mid-semester test.s warn us that now might be an opportune time to begin preparations for the final examinations in ^lav. Such remind ers as these take the traditional joy out of our happy school-days. ill I he silver loving cup presented by the Faculty to the team winning in hockey came as a welcome surprise to the student body. For the last few years basketball has shared honors with hockey, and many prefer the latter sport, but to the former have belonged the tele grams and the loving cup. 'I’liis year, liowev'er, hockey has v'isibly ad vanced another step. It, too, can claim a trophy towards which the teams may strive and towards which they may look with anticipation. We, however, so greatly appreciate this gift not only because of its beauty and because of the glory which comes to those who win it, but becau.se our Faculty have shown in this very definite way their heartv interest in our athletic as well as our scholastic life. We are glad that the cup was given us, but we are even more de lighted because the F'aculty have presented it; and we take this occasion to thank these publicly. t I t “Y” week, which has just been concluded, calls to our attention the relatively small numbers who attend the Regular Friday night meetings. Our Y. W. C. A. is an organization which has as' one of its chief objects service to every college girl. If we but think of that first day of college, we shall remember how joyfully we welcomed the “Ask Me” girls, and ho\y we tearfully followed them everywhere. Is it they who must follow us now? When we have an opportunity to return a .small amount of the kindness which they extended to us, should we not respond by making the influence of this week a lasting one? Members of the Cabinet have suggested several ways in which the entire student body may help, and attendance at the Friday night services is by no means the least important. Naturally, we cannot be interested in any organization unless we know something of the work which it is carrying on; but how can we know unless we attend the meetings? Even those who willingly absent themselves can contribute'’towards the pleasure and success of the Friday night services by refraining from making noises and from carrying on loud conversation during the Y. W. C. A. hour. Noises from the living room and the hallways frequently annoy both speaker and audience. You can help in any number of ways. Wji] you make this “Y” week a notable one? t t J Baseball and track, after patiently waiting for the expiration of liockey, have at last come into their own, and even now “fans” have begun practicing. The ground hog’s prophecy has been fulfilled and is now a thing of the past, so there need be little fear of further interference from snow' and icy rains. Spectators at the finals yearly wish that they had “gone out” for one or both of these sports, and firmly resolve to do next year. Now is the time to remember that spring resolution, to show real class spirit, and incidentally, to gain all the fun anybody could wish. ' Unless we have been deceived by reports, the athletics in which we engage, and the friends we make while we are in college, will form a large part of the things we, in years to come, will remember about col lege; and the athletic field is one of the best places on earth to mak- triends and to know people for what they are worth. As to the good time everybody has, not just in the final game, but in every practice— .just come out this week and see for vourself.
