Our own ■fforts alone could not have been sufficient, we are sure, to produce a ■wspaper wortiiy of representing Salem. To you belongs a large part the credit—and we thank you. t + + + + + Thoughtlessness is responsible for many wounded feelings and the ru]iture of numerous friendships. Jiefore you act, be sure that what you plan is not the sort of thing which will cause offense to some one who is sensitive. + + t + + I Don’t let your newspaper reading slack up during this busy period. World affairs are going on the same as ever and it pays to keep in touch. t + + + + + We recommend most strongly that the heads of organizations j)ur- chase copies of Roberts' Rules of Order. There seems to be a distinct ignorance as to the difference between a majority and a plurality. + + t t + I In the testing days to come, l>e a good s])ort. Should you not come out as successfully as you think you have merited, don’t unjustly blame nmo nt't^ Thp fni'lt '-j very probnblj: your owii At times there seems to be no silver lining to a single cloud. If you are passing through a period of gray days for any reason whatsoever, try the Pollyanna stunt. They say that everything which happens could be worse. Whether that’s true or not, somehow the world seems nicer when we try the optimistic viewpoint. We stress Mr. Higgins’ remarks concerning the college catalogue. Get your copy at once, and read it carefully, noting especially all points which relate to vour own 'course of studv. I t Registration is now in full swing and we urge you not to forget tli'i! tines are imposed for eacli day’s delay in filing class cards and schedules. I’he last days of a term are always busy ones in tlu- Registrar’s office because of schedules, majors and minors, exams, and report cards. Co-operation on the part of students w’ill help to make the complicated machinery run more smoothly. Conunencement at Salem is so distinctive and so impressive that we are at a loss to understand why there is so much planning on the part of many to leave beforehand. 'I'hose who have never attended the services c.an have no idea of their dignity and beauty, and can by no means appre ciate the fact that the true spirit of the Alma .Mater is best evident dur ing those few days when students and alumnae are so close together in their love and loyalty to the institution whose ideals and j)urposes they seek to uphold. At no other time is Salem so truly Salem. We can but sliggest that you attend this year and find out for yourself that com mencement can mean a great deal in the life of a college student. t In these strenuous days of review, of re])orts, of hurrying to finish up books, of a little early cramming, perhaps, it is not well to concentiat-' too steadily on work to the ncglcct of recreation. There is nothing more refreshing, more restful, than to go out on the back campus and walk or merely sit and think. We neglect the beauties of our campus, and often, in the bustle of work, forget that it is there. But it ij waiting, ready to receive us at any time we may chance to call. Its hos])itality is unlimited; its furniture is luxurious; its entertainment is free and ainusinir. Go out for a while, sit on the rocks, watch the squirrels, whistle to the “Bob Whites. " The charm-s o^^ie back campus a.c endless and never old. The spirit of peace and give to i itigued brain new energy, new power and The campus ijl welcome you. and you w'ill come back, ready again to work with a :tter spirit and better ability.

Freshmen (incoming Sophomores) W'edncsdiiy and Thursday. May 11-15. Any time after I''riday, the regis tration cards may be obtained from the registrar’s office. M iss I'orman also stated that be ginning with Tuesday, May (5, Miss Kelly will give swimming lessons at Granville School to those who have signed up for them, .-md to those who want to take them. The Annual Staff of li)2,'f-2 t was ably represented by its editor, .Jane Noble. .M iss Noble ex])lained that the purpose of this year’s annual has been to rcflcct the atmosphere >)f Salem College. A])art from en joying the finished ))roduct of long hours of work, it is necessary to un derstand the inner workings of the staff. .Vlready the staff of ’2.) has been elected, and several contracts have been signed so that work may begin in earnest. In undertaking the jiublication of a book of this kind, there is always an uncertainty as to how the finances will work out. This year, under the supervision of Mr. Higgins, Miss Shattiu'r was able to work out a business basis by which a safe mar gin was insured. As a result, thv expenses of previous years have been reduced to a great ])ercentage. This fact is also due to the discoui.ts lor early payments of bills, and f sr nia- terial sent in on time to the en graver. The sim])licity of the book .also reduced the cost. On the Annual .Staff this year, there were five off-campus girls, and this fact goes to prove that better relations .are beginning to exist be tween the two groups of students. .Miss Ruth Duncan next summed up the activities for the MacDowell Club. In |)assing, she g;ne a brief history of the organiz;»tion. Six years ago. Dean Shirley, once a stu dent of .MacDowell, organized the club, and became its first president —he held office for two years, Miss Yerrington for two. and .Miss Dun can for two years. It was then the plan that every month, the club would hold a monthly meeting, at wiiieh time a lecture, a pi'uic or some other attraction would he en joyed. In other words, the motiw was two-fold: “get-together” anti edification. ^liss Yerrington cotu’eived of the idea of a uu)ving i)icture machine and as a result of her hope!:, l.ist year the machine was installed. Eight ])ictures were sliown on the average of every two weeks. This year, nine pictures havt' been shown, and a greater s])aee of time has in tervened. 'I'he club has paid its pledge for the endowment for last year and this, has finished ]>aying for tlie machine ;ind, in .addtion, has sent some money to the .MacDowell .Me morial Association. 'I’he eo-opera- tion on the ])art of students .and fac ulty has been r('inarkable. The officers for the year 1921-25 will he elected at a meeting which will soon be called. The last of the talks was given by Mr. Higgins concerning the College catalogue. He brought out the stu dent’s relation to her catalogjie, which should breathe the s|)irit of the college where it is ))uhlished. -Mr. Higgins requested that each student read the catalogue and note any cause of per|)lexity or of un pleasantness. It is the collection of rules, regulations, announcements, and summaries of a college year. The inform.'ition enclosed within this new. wellorganii^ed catalogue should not remain with the OM’ner; but should he passed on to others who may be interested in going some where to a collca'e. JUNIOR ORCHESTRA GAVE DELKiHTFUL PROCJRAM Moiulay night at 8:15 in Alemo- rial Hall, under the direction of Mrs. I’’red ,J. Andrews, the Salem C’ollege .Junior Orchestra gave its second annual concert. This or chestra has done s])lendid work this year under its capable director and the ])rogram given .Monday night brougiit out some of the most excel lent features of the work of this group of students that for two years has held the ])lacc of little sister to the college orchestra which has, for six years, ])laved an important part in college life. One of the most interesting facts about this grou)) is the variety of ages re))resented by 'ts members. From little nine-year- old Esther .Miller to teen-age boys ■md girls, college Freshmen, and the college Senior who so enthusiasti callv beat the drum, all the oieluvs- tra seeuu'il intent on its task atid a])|)eared to thoroughly enjoy the pleasure it was giving to its aiuli- ?nce. The selections ])layed by the orchestra were well chosen and well presented. Indeed, the group, be sides being uuisical. has been trained in team ])lay. that very important element in orchestra work. One of the most interesting numbers w.as the Shepherd’s- Morning Sont) by Zamecnik with a quartet of saxa- \>hone aiul cornet by Lardner Mc Carty. Belmont Helsaheek. .James Pfohl, and Hugh Land. Tlu‘ soloists added much to the program. .Margaret Harris’ twu songs w^ere received with tlu’ ai)- plause which they deserved. Espe cially in the I’alleij of I.(nighter by Sanderson, her sweet .-,0|jran0 I'amt out as clear and lilting as a bird’^- song. Margaret Herndon with her harp selections. Dream of the Fair ies, brougiit out many of the sweet tones wiiich are only ])ossible on the harp. Elbert .Stauber showed quite; a ii'reat deal of talent and teciinical skill in his two violin solos. The star of tiu' evening was F.sther Miller, aged nine, who, beside play ing in all the orchestra selections, gave two \iolin nimibcrs as sulos 'I'o see a child so young handle a violin with as much ease and as nat urally as she did was both interest ing and novel. \ lovely haskc't ol flowers brought forth an encore from this young uuisician after which she ski|)])C,d back to her place in tlv orchestra as unconsciously as any child to her play. Blanks for permission to take Sununer School work must be .ap proved by the Faculty ol Depart ments in which the student wishes to receive credit. Permi.siiioa- ^0 take nu'r Scho'ol work must be filed by the Registrar on blanks provided at the office.
