Gives Invitation to Everyone to
Attend Meetings and Take
Part in Work.
The Young Women’s Chris
tian Association is glad to
•elcome new students to Salem
and hopes that they will readily
and easily become adapted and
will quickly learn to love Salem
and all for which she stands
well as do those who have been
;re for a long time.
Rich is the heritage which
Salem girls receive and many are
the people who have worked and
sacrificed to made possible the
Salem of today. The Y. W. C.
A. hopes that every Freshman
will quickly catch the notable
spii’it of our Alma Mater and|
thus be able truly to enter into
all worth while campijs activi
ties.
On the campus are to be found
many organizations which have
a part in student life. The Y.
W. C. A. has heretofore played
a large part in the daily life of
the students and now welcomes
every new student to help it take
an even larger part. The As
sociation welcomes everyone to
its weekly meetings and cabinet
meetings and extends
tation to students and faculty to
make use of the Association or
any of its branches.
NEW INFIRMARY—Concluded
For the first time we will be
living on the campus when you
arrive. The beautiful new Presi
dent’s House is yours as well
we want you to know
that you are always welcome
there. We want to know you
each one, and you may often
long for a little bit of home
atmosphere when dormitory life
becomes overw'helming.
Our latch-string is always out
for you.
Most Sincerely Yours,
Katharine B. Rondthaler.
fudgey chafing-dishes. Even
Society Hall has a little private
kitchenette corner all its own;
and room 201 in Main Hall has
deftly transformed itself into
another kitchenette.
Infirmary is all ready
to receive you. and our only fear
is that you will get sick on pur
pose just because it is so pretty
and atti'active with its sunny
yellow curtains, and cozy white
bods, its charming diet kitchen
shining white porcelain and
the bright little sun-porch and
sitting room. In spite of the
fact that it is so alluring, I am
devoutly hoping that Dr. Pfohl
ill have scant business this
year.
You wil be glad to know that
Miss Heath will be in charge ol'
the Infirmary. She has already
endeared herself to many of the
Miss Daisy Bacot of
South Carolina will be her as
sistant.
Tally has successfully
placed (and only he could do it)
lovely old fountain in the In-
■mary grounds. This will make
particularly pleasant outlook
for the girls who rooi.i on the
south of College Extension and
1 the west of Society Hall.
We have flowers in the cam
pus this summer,—a now thing.
Hampton and Mrs. Orrell,
ire both born gardeners and
love flowers, have scattered seeds
here and there and made many
bright spots in the habitual cam
pus green. Some of the flowers
■e still blooming for you.
Mr. Tally has made a new path.
dcAvn into the Pleasure Grounds,
which as you all know is the
campus,—I just love to use
the old name. It is a gently
graded path with two easy rest
ing places,—two cozy seats for
chatting. I feel sure that this
will lure you down
oftener into the companionship
of the tall old trees and the
myrtle covered slopes and the
glinting little stream.
The Swimming Pool has teen
open all summer for the Salem
girls in town, the Alumnae and
their children and other invited
guests. We have had lots of
fun in it and it has teen most
refreshing all thru the hot days.
Mrs. King has capably managed
it and is still in charge. You
will all like her so much. Dot
Frazier, Pearl Fishel and Bar
bara Heath have been the swim
ming .supei-visors for the sum
mer. I know that you are all
eager for your first dip.
One of the delightful features
of this year w'ill be that we will
have all the women faculty liv-
the campus. The second
floor of Main Hall has been given
to faculty rooms. This will
bring them more than ever into
college family, and I know
that you will welcome their pres-
heartily.
