Scientific Society Makes Announcement Explains Membership Require ments; Gives List of Officers and Executive Committee The Societas Scientiarum Sale- mensis was organized in the fall of 1924, for the general purpose of furthering scientific knowl edge and interest among stu dents. The active membership is limited to twenty-four members. Before a student can become a member, she must have passed two courses in science and must pursue a scientific subject thru- out her college course. Appli cation blanks with references must be filled out and submitted to the vote of the society before a person can become a member. To retain membership a student must pass all academic require ments. The following officers have been elected for the year 1925- 1926: President, Alpha Shaner; Secretary-Treasurer, Laura Thomas; Executive Committee, Kathryn Emmart, Ruth Efird, Ruth Perkins. Crowd out that feeling of homesickness with good eats from your “Y” store, open every night from ten o’clock to ten- fifteen. As all things have their be ginning, so Salem must open again, and welcome the old and new girls to live in her ivy-clad buildings for another school year. With the opening of col lege there always comes the be ginning anew of the work in the various organizations, and the members of “The Pierrette Players,” the permanent dra matic club of Salem, wish to be gin the year 1925-26 by first ex tending to all of the students, old and new, a very hearty welcome to Salem and the Dra matic Club. “The Pierrette Players” is the one organization in which a girl with dramatic talent is given a chance to express herself. Not only is the acting of plays dwelt upon, but also the various phases of drama are studied carefully and interestingly, so that dur ing a year the members of the club may derive a great amount of material which will prove beneficial in their studies of English. The meetings of the club are held twice a month, and at each meeting at least one member of the' club is selected to read a play, while another member gives the story of the life of the author of the play which is be ing presented. Several times during the year special meetings are held which place emphasis on the social side of the club, and always prove very enjoyable. During the past year “The Pierrette Players” presented three one act plays, “The Maker of Dreams” by Oliphant Down, “Suppressed Desires” by Ellen Glasgow, “Enter the Hero” by George Crain Cook, ana one throe act play “The Mollusc” by H. IL Davies. Both of the per- i’oimances were well attended and very highly praised. This year the club hopes to give even better and more entertaining dramatic productions. It is the desire of the club to have a student feel that mem bership is a rare honor; there fore the committee on member ship will select girls for the try outs after consultation with the faculty in regard to their scho lastic standing and ability. '1 here are two try-outs during a col legiate year, the first one occur- ing the first week in November, and the second one the first week of February, so if a girl is not able to enter in the fall she may have another opportunity at the beginning of the second semster. The club is very fortunate in having as its director. Dr. V\ illoughby, head of the English Department, a very capable, sympathetic and entertaining leader. It was through her splendid direction and that of the officers for the past year that “The Pierrette Players” en joyed such a successful year in 1924-1925. “The Pierrette Players” want new members, and need new members to take the places of the girls who left the club last year. Please everyone who feels di'amatically inclined, keep her scholastic standing high, so that she may enter the fall try-out, and later the club itself. The club is an organization which fills a gap in the college curriculum which for a long time has not been filled, because it is striving, with the co-operation of its members, to make the study and presentation of plays a necessity for the better under standing and appreciation of this great type of literature. Athletic Association Plans Are Made Known President Urges all Students to .Go out for Sports; (Jives List of Officers. Basket-ball, swimming, tennis, volley ball! Everybody come out and show her class spirit! Activities will begin soon! To become a member of the Athletic Association, a student must engage in at least one sport. For instance, if a student goes out for swimming, she has automatically become a member of the association. The college records show that a much larger per cent of students participated in the various sports last year than did so the year before. The Athletic Association has a chart which shows the per cent of niembers of each class who are taking part in some form of sports, and there is much rivalry between the classes. All through the scholastic year, there are inter-class games of different sorts, with cups awarded to the winning team, letters, class numerals and sweaters to indi viduals. So far, Salem students have shown a gi’atifying enthusiasm in the field of athletics and it is to be hoped that this year all preceding records will be sur passed. The Athletic Associa tion urges every student, old and new, to give her heartiest sup- Open Forum There is probably not a single person on earth who some time or other does not suffer from homesickness. It attacks school girls, especially freshmen, in its worst forms. There is no misery comparable to that extreme longing for home which one feels can not possibly be satisfied for endless months. It makes the first few days at school almost unendurable. The newness and strangeness of college (ind the difi'.culty of adapting oneself to surroundings totally different from those to which one has been accustomed cause one in voluntarily to turn one’s thoughts tovvards home. It has probably never looked so sweet and invit ing as when viewed from this distance. Without doubt, the first few days of college life are extremely difRcult for incoming freshmen. The strain of getting settled, the lack of friends, the lessons which at first seem long and hard make one feel very small and miser able. The glamour of being a •‘college gii'l” seems to have dis appeared far into the distance and one thinks longingly of the happiness of the past summer and the absence of care' and v.’orry which one enjoyed at that time. The old girls at Salem do all that they can to make the new one’s feel more at home but one must remember that their time is largely taken up with their own duties. The lonely fresh man has a miserable feeling that everybody knows everybody else but her. Fortunately, homesickness is not an incurable malady. The best and speediest remedy is to cease thinking about oneself and to take an interest in outside activities and in making new friends. It is surprising how rapidly homesickness disappears and other interests take its place. One can not be busy and homesick too, and one is much happier busy. There is always so much to be done that one has little time to waste in tears and ill feeling miserable. Sometimes a girl thinks she cannot possibly endure the new life and the separation from home; she gives up and leaves before having had a real taste of the joys of college life. The girl that sticks it out and re solves to make the best of things has a feeling of tiiumph and ac complishment at the end that compensates fully for the un happiness which fihe may have felt at first. If one remembers that she is not the only home sick girl at school, that it is possible to have a good time as well as to work hard, and that Christmas holiday:; with all their joys are not very far in the future, she will find that home sickness will rapidly disappear to be succeed6d by a feeling of contentment and eager antici pation.
