SALEMITE THREE Historic Interest Of Salemite To Publish Work Main Building Of Englisii Classes Main Building has been the scholastic center for generations of Salem girls, and now, ii stately dignity, its richness of tradition and its historic sig nificance, it is representative of the spirit of Salem. From the basement to the attic, it is full of interest. There are th( trophy room, the pi'.blicatioi office of the Salemite and Sights and Insights, class rooms, and the dark, mysterious staircase leading to the roof. If one may be allowed the old and interesting speculation, “If the bricks of its walls could speak, what tales they would have to tell!” The corner stone, as may be noted by any observant person, was laid in 1854, since that time countless r bers of Salem girls have passed between the imposing white pillars and have entered the his toric portals.' Athletic Association Elects Officers Wednesday, September 16, the Athletic Association of Salem College held a meeting and elect ed the following officers: Secre tary, Mary Buckner; head of swimming, Dorothy Frazier, and Rachel Phillips, head of basket ball. Mary Alta Robbins, President of the Association, announced that athletics will not begin un til the courts are finished and the weather improves.

M., there will be a meeting of the College Faculty. The Committee on Member ship of the Pierrette Players making a list of students eligible to this organization. Try-outs will be held and eight vacancies filled within the next two weeks. The Salemite has made rangements with the English Department to publish, from time to time, the best compo sition work done by members of the Freshman and Sophomon classes. Such literary work i; usually in the realm of the col lege m.agazine, but since there no such publication at Salem, the newspaper has the privilege of making public some of the talent shown by the classes. A similar arrangement had last year, and some long themes were used. At present, tlie Sophomore class is working- on the light essay, and the ac companying article, “Lateness’ 5 a speciment of this type, by men^ber of the class. It is believed that such essays -id other kinds of writing done by the English classes will be of interest to all the students and faculty and that the Salemite ■" profit by this addition to its columns. LATENESS In this world most things are divided evenly between the masculine half of creation and the feminine half; yet the male )x has distinct rights over the female. His it is to command and hers to obey. It is his privi- go cut ar>d wrest a liv ing from an unkind world, while the duty of his better half to remain at home and have a comfortable fireside chair and a satisfying dinner ready for him when he returns at night, weary from his struggle with business affairs. Man may be superior in most •espects. He may be able to bend weaker woman to his sovereign will on almost every occasion, but in one prerogative of woman he has no ability to interfere. That ' inalienable ■ight of woman over which man las no control is her right to be late. From the beginning of time woman has kept her lord and master waiting.. From the first of the world she has been late for her appointments with him. Eve kept Adam waiting for a twilight stroll in the Garden of Eden while she stuck in another hair pin and asked the serpent ■f he liked her hair done in coro- let braids. Cleopatra kept Anthony waiting in the drawing while she powedered her and played with her pet asp. Juliet kept Romeo standing nunder the balcony while she tucked a rose in her hair and put >n a pearl necklace. Man has always been made to iwait woman. He may be im patient ; in fact, he often is, but it avails him naught. He must ralize that there is one thing in which he cannot command one respect in which his is not the higher power, one circumstance over which he has no control. Woman must make man know his place by keeping him waiting. LETITIA CURRIE. EXCHANGES All students at the University of Oregon who fail to pass an entrance examination in English are required to take a course in English usage, without credit, until excused by the instructor. It costs but seven dollars a month to go to school in China,- Academy News. Last Saturday evening the Academy girls decided not to be blue so they adjourned to the campus intent upon a general good time. The fun began by the singing of several songs which served the purpose of generating some pep; then different girls were called on for stunts while waiting for the cast of the play for the evening “The Tragedy of Ah” to appear. The cast was as follows: Hostess, Frances Millikan; Host, Elizabeth Drand; Tea Hound, Virginia Pinkinson Guests, Mary Stokley, Muriel Lombra, Catherine Gant. The only word in the vocabu lary of this cast was “Ah”, and the whole conversation was carried on by means of it. The girls then spent the evening dancing in the living room all agreeing that they had had very good time. Nannie Russel and Lizzie Lyon spent the week-end with their mothers. Mary Lovich Cavanaugh was visitor in Greensboro. Anne Cook spent the week end with her family in Salisbury. The Academy is glad to wel- me a late arrival, Elizabeth Deaver, Knoxville Tennessee. Y. W. C. A. SERVICE The first Y. W. C. A. Service for the year was held in the living room of South Hall at six ’clock Sunday evening with Elizabeth Marx presiding. Dr. Rondthaler gave an interesting talk on the three temptations of Christ and how He resisted Satan with a verse of scripture. He recommended this as a dandy practice for the daily tempta tions that must be met. As an example he gave his own verse, 'Thou God seeest me”. After this talk Elizabeth Rondthaler accompanied by Mrs. Rondthaler gave a delightful solo, “This is My Task”.
