Welcome from Student
Government President
Discussion Concerning Purpose and
Make-Up of Student Council;
Regulations in Hand-Book.
The Student Self - Government
Association extends the warmest of
welcomes to the class of 1928 and
it is its desire to prove of some
service, especially during the first
few perplexing weeks of college
life.
Some one may ask, “What is
Student Government?” And for
the benefit of those who have never
been to college before, we shall ex
plain that that the Student Self-
Government Association is an organ
ization for the advancement and
betterment of each member—which
includes, of course, every student
in the college. The fact of being a
member of the Association broad
ens and develops one to the extent
that she realizes her own responsi
bility in upholding the standards
and traditions of Salem.
The voice of the Student Self-
Government Association is embodied
in the Student Council, composed
of eighteen members elected by
vote of the entire student body.
Three officers and four representa
tives are chosen from the Senior
class; two officers and three repre
sentatives from the Junior class;
and three representatives from each
of the two remaining classes. The
representatives from the three up
per classes were elected last Spring
while those from the Freshman
class will be chosen as soon as that
class has been accorded actual mem
bership in the Association.
The Handbook very properly may
be called the textbook of Student
Government, for it contains the
constitution, the by-laws, and the
regulations of the organization. At
the opening of school, each student
is presented with a Handbook for
her own personal use. Further ex
planation of any rule, not fully un
derstood, may be obtained fro. ny
member of the Council. It is or the
utmost importance that everything
in the Handbook be thoroughly
clear to every student that she may
be able to do her part in preserving
the true Salem spirit.
Again, the heartiest of welcomes
to the class of 1928. May this be
a happy and successful year for
each member.

Y.W.C. A.Greets Old
And New Students
Meetings Held on Friday Evenings
In Living Room or Recreation
Room of Clewell Building.
Welcome, Freshmen! The Y. W.
C. A. is glad that you are here, and
although everyone else is probably
saying that very same thing, it
would be difficult to say just how
much greeting and enthusiasm the
words contain. The Young Wom
an’s Christian Association is here
for service, especially during the
first few trying days of school and
wishes to impress on the mind of
every girl that she is a part of the
organization and has a definite part
in all of its work. It is the
Christian organization at Salem to
which every girl in school belongs
The meetings are held weekly ii
the Recreation Room or the Living
Room of Alice Clewell Building
Friday evenings at 6:30 o’clock.
Everyone is cordially invited to be
gin coming to the very first of these
meetings.
In a very short time the Fresh
man class will be well organized
and will choose two of its members
to be representatives on the Y. W.
C. A. cabinet and at the same time
to act as chairmen of the Publicity
Department of the Association.
This not only gives the new students
a splendid chance of helping with
that boundless enthusiasm which is
always a marked characteristic of
theirs, but also makes for a larger
success in the Y. W. C. A.
Then, too, there is the “Y” store,
concerning which more information
will soon be furnished by way of
posters and announcements. After
several hours of hard study, one is
sure to want at ten o’clock a good
chocolate bar or some of the other
goodies that are kept there. Watch
the posters for directions.
Again, the warmest of welcomes
and the best of good wishes for the
class of 1928. Every Salemite is
glad to extend such a welcome and
knows that in a short time the new
girls will be as loyal daughters of
Salem as the old girls.
Elizabeth Leight,
President Y. W. C. A.
Historical Sketch
Of Salem College
Having its foundation in Salem
Female Academy established in
1772, the institution which is now
Salem College was for a number
of years a day school for students
of the community until in 1802 a
boarding department was added. In
1886, a charter was granted Salem
Academy and College which intro
duced a strictly collegiate branch.
Since 1910, the Academy and Col
lege have been maintained as sep
arate institutions under the same
administrative head and trustees,
and several years ago Salem Col
lege was classified as an A Class
College through membership in the
Association of Colleges and Prepar
atory Schools in the Southern States.
September 10, 1924, marks the be
ginning of the one hundred and
fifty-fourth year.
BUILDING CAMPAIGN DURING
THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS
Building Includes President’s House, College Dor
mitory, Domestic Science Department, New
Bahnson Memorial Infirmary.
During the past several months
there has been important progress
the buildings and renovations
and development of the campus. A
number of these are as follows:
The president’s new residence,
which has been rebuilt by the trans
formation of what was formerly
known as Senior Annex on the up
per campus, will be ready for occu
pancy about the first of October.
This building has been used, since
ipletion of the Alice Clewell
Building two years ago as a resi
dence for faculty members.
Society Hall, moved to the north-
n part of the upper campus, has
been completely rebuilt into a mod-
college dormitory with eight
double rooms, hot and cold running
water in each room, baths, etc.,
complete. It is now ready for oc
cupancy by sixteen college students.
Six additional college rooms have
been completed in Main Hall and
hot and cold running water has
been introduced into thirty-nine
;ollege rooms not so equipped.
The entire third floor of Main
Hall has been rebuilt into a modern
and complete domestic science de
partment with lecture rooms, diet
kitchen, home nursing department,
dressmaking and millinery, interior
decorating, practice dining room,
etc.
Two additional lecture rooms
have been added in Main Hall for
general college purposes.
The outdoor gymnasium, tennis
courts, and new basketball court
with extensive grading, sodding, and
walks for the upper campus
have been completed ready for use.
The new swimming pool, gift of
Miss Etta Shaffner, Salem Alumna,
ipleted by September 1. The
pool is seventy by twenty feet and
has shower baths, etc., accompany
ing. It is located directly behind
the vVlice Clewell Building.
The College Extension Building
has been remodeled to conform with
the prevailing colonial type of arch
itecture.
The old gymnasium which has
been moved to the southeast corner
of the upper campus has been re
modeled into a student “hut” and
will be delivered on September to
the Winston-Salem Alumn* branch
who will undertake its furnishing
and further equiument.
South Hall, the Academy build
ing, has been repainted, repapered
large part, and recarpeted. It
ready for use with the opening
of the term.
The Bahnson Memorial Infirmary
is making rapid progress and its
completion is expected about the
first of November.
The former Central School, known
also as the Boys’ School, corner of
Church and Bank streets, has been
requested leased for the growing
needs of the Academy department
and will be furnished and equipped
by the opening date, September 10.
A number of the proposed
changes were announced at the clos
ing of the 1923-24 term. There
was no intimation, however, that
the renovations and additions were
to be so numerous; and it is indeed
surprising to note to what extent the
aspect of the campus has been im
proved. These buildings and reno
vations will make for increased effi
ciency and increased service on the
part of the college. It is interesting
to note that with all changes, the
colonial type of architecture is pre
served and with it the historical
dignity that Salem has so long
prided itself on.
Full Program of Sports
Planned for 1924-25
Pauline Hawkins President Athletic
Association; Heads of Sport:
Chosen During First of Session
The Athletic Association is
glad to have newcomers at Salem
that it automatically makes them
members at once, in order that
le may miss any of the fun that
embership in the organization
makes possible and that active
terest may be aroused without any
preliminary delay. The best way
to show such an interest is to come
out for sports as soon as the first
practice is announced.
The purpose of the organization
the development and supervision
of athletics; the aim is to have every
girl in college interested in athlet-
Points are awarded for par
ticipation in each sport and a white
sweater for winning seven points

ing the fall, there are inter-class
tournaments in basketball and vol
ley ball, and tennis is a feature;
the winter and early spring there
is field hockey; and in the spring,
baseball, tennis, and track.
Should none of the sports mi

delightful new swimming pool surely
will. It is the gift of Miss Etta
Shaffner, a Salem Alumna, and
built during the summer months di
rectly beliind the Alice Clewell
building. After several hours of
good hard study, there is nothing
