TWO SALE MITE The Salemite EDITORIAL STAFF Miriam Brietz, ’26 Editor-in-Chief Dorothy Siewers, '27 Man’g. Editor Ruth Efird, ’26 Reporter ce, ’27- —Reporl raylor, BUSINESS STAFF May Hairston, ’26, Business Manager Elizabeth Hastings, ’27, Asst. Bus. Mgr. Isabel Miller, ’28, Circulation Manager This is the last issue of the Salemite before the beginning of the holidays. The air is full of Christmas-the Christmas party, with the inimitable Santa Claus, the dignified and beautiful senior vespei' service, and everywhere the atmosphere of excitement and happiness. The Sale'mite cannot say goody-bye for four weeks without adding its voice to the chorus of good will and fellowship. Let our last words until January, be “A very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.” While we are speaking of Christmas, it is the duty of the editor to moralize a bit and to remind you that while this should be and usually is the happiest season of the whole yeai', it should not be a time of self-indulgence and entirely thoughtless pleasures. One should keep in mind the reason for this great celebiation, and remember that not everyone has a Christmas tree and Santa Claus and turkey. There are various org;uiizations which dc a great deal to relieve suffering among the poor and it will hurt no one to stop buying presents for a day or two and to con tribute to these organizations. The sale of Red Cross stamps is for a cause than which there are few more worthy and we urge every Salem girl to buy as many stamps as she can. Salem is always noted for beautiful traditions, but at Christmas time, in this respect, she is unsurpassed. It is entirely possible for an individual so to withdraw from the life of the college that the carrying out of these traditions means nothing to her, but the girl w’ho makes herself really a part of Salem will receive inestimable benefit and pleasure from them. The Christmas party Saturday night, with its merry gathering of old and young is a cherished custom. Senior vespers, Sun day afternoon in the library, is one of the most beautiful and best loved traditions. The Senior serenade affords pleasure both to the Seniors and to those who are serenaded. All these are a part of Salem and a portion of the rich heritage which is the right of every Salem girl. Do you realize that any pro longed holiday is a trying time for Salem’s reputation? That students are apt in occupation with other things, to forget that they represent their college in the places to which they go? That people with whom one comes in contact ai'e judging Salem, the college, the atmos- Freshmen Elected To The Student Council The regulai- monthly meeting of the Student Self-Government Association w'as held Monday, December 7, at one-thirty, in the recreation room. The business before the association consisted of the election of three freshmen representatives to the Student Council. Nominations were made by members of the freshman class, the entire sociation voting for the repre sentatives. Those elected v Charlotte Easton, Mary Miller Faulkner and Penelope Tipton. Pupils’ Recital At Ihe Music Hour On Thursday afternoon, Dec ember 3, the Music Hour program consisted of a pupils’ •ecital which was varied and interesting in every respect. There were selections in piano, violin, and voice, and the pieces : unusually brilliant and beautiful. The program wa follows; Bach-MacDowell Minuet Mary Buckner Raff A Fable Elizabeth Hastings Dai-tlett Marionettes Laura Price and Daisy Litz Arthur Foote Tocata (fro Suite in C minor) Clemmon Brown Dennee Forest Sounds Susan Luckenbach Branscombe Melody Emily Sargent Schubert-Liszt Hark, Hark, the Lark Evelyn McGehee Donfiudy O Del Mio Amato Een Elsie Barnes MacDow ell From' the Depths Connie Fowler Reinecke. _ Tears Howard Bagwell MacDowell Witches Dance Fannie Person Rudge Christmas Meeting Of The Cercle Francais Students of French 3-4 Having High Grades are Invited to Become Members. The regular meeting of the Cercle Francais will be held in the Alice Clewell living room next Wednesday, December 16, at five o’clock. The program will be composed of Christmas numbers and promises to be a ■y interesting one. It is to be the open meeting of the year and the members will invite guests. The following young ladies from French 3-4 have made sufficiently high grades to enable them to become members of the Cei'cle Francais: Brownie Peacock, Ruth E. Maisden, Barbara Heath, Vir ginia Blakeney, Helen Johnson, Isabelle Dunn, Frances Hahn, Myrtle Valentine, Margaret Vaughn,Lillyan Newell, Carrie Mae Baldwin, Lucile Hart, Rubie Scott, Anna Pauline Shaffner, Marion Bloor, Caroline Price, Genevieve Marks, Frances Wilson, Margaret Stevenson, phere, the environment, the curriculum by oneself? Too often one overlooks responsi bility in this line. Out from the atmosphere and environment forgets the Salem that one represents. This could be pre vented if each student felt it her specific duty to be a true Salemite during the holidays. Pierrette Players Hold Final Meeting Of Year Miriam Brietz Reads G’Neill’s Emperor Jones. The regular meeting of the Pierrette Players was held Campus Living Room of Alict Clewell Building on Thursday evening, December 10. Due the Glee Club Concert, the me ing was called for 6 ;30. In the absence of the President, the Vice-President, Isabel Wenhold, presided, and called for the roh call and secretary’s report. Miss Willioughby announced the casts of the three plays to be presented in January in Collabo ration with the MacDowell Club, and called for a meeting of the members of each cast following the club meeting. The club voted to renew the subscription to the “Theatre Arts Monthly, feeling that a discussion of this monthly magazine in the meet ings adds much to the meeting the way of education and entertainment. The motion also made and seconded to ask the Freshman winning in •eading contest to be held January, to become a member of the Pierrette Players. Since there was no more business, the i-president asked Dorothy Siewers to give a report December number of the ‘Theatre Arts Monthly”. The nain articles discussed were “The Ramifications of Realism”, which it was pointed out that the present tendency in play ■iting is toward realism, or some branch of realism; and “Character Acting”. The latter showed how difficult it was for actor to lose himself in the character which he portrays. Some modern great actors are found to have their limitations. -they can only play one character—a truly great actor must be able to fit any character. Miriam Brietz, in a most im pressive manner, read “The Emperor Jones” by Eugene O’ Neill. This play with its pre dominance of illusions and visions, is strikingly unique, and Miss Brietz brought out in a clever manner the reactions of Emperor Jones to his illusions. There was no further business and the meeting adjourned. Home Ecunoraics Club The Theta Delta Pi’s Has Christmas Bazaar Gives Dinner At Tea Room Members Contribute Attractive Novelties; Candy also on Sale. The Home Economies Club held a Christmas bazaar in Main Hall, Friday afternoon, Dec ember the eleventh, from three to six o’clock. It was announced in chapel a very clever way, by a “sand wich man,” who continued to advertise all morning. Each member of the club was asked to contribute one article, and many charming and original things were given, hand painted vases, candlesticks, powder boxes, fancy work, lamp shades, and various other things m.ade up the collection. Japanese novelties had beei ordered from New York, and re very popular and sold quite well. Candy made in the Home Economics laboratory was best seller, also. ; booth, girls sold coffee and sandwiches. The proceeds from the bazaar are for the benefit of the club and practice house, and from the point of view of both the buyers and the sellers the bazaar wa; a decided success. Open Forum “There’s music in the air!”— and in the busy office, the home, school, or on the street, one stops to listen. One listens reverently, and though one’s heart may be sad dened, through it all is a note of glad triumph,—the triumph of soul gone Home, the knowledge of Christ’s victory over death. And then!—carelessly a voice bursts in: “The Death Horns!’ For a moment the gladness has gone, leaving only the black des pair of separation from a loved they play! and once again one knows that all is well. Those to whom the music of the trombones has grown deai- from childhood ai-e hurt at the grim misnomer, and feeling that no one would wiUingly hurt in such a case, this plea is made to aboUsh it once and for all.

I Plans Are Made For Europe Study Tours Membership in William and Mary Groups Restricted to College and University Students. Elaborate plans for the third immer school in Europe are being made by the management of the William and Mary Study TourS in Europe, as a result of the enthusiasm over the trip which was shown by the mem bers of last year’s party. Col lege students who have in the back of their heads any notion of spending the summer in Europe will find the summary of the plans well worth their atten- Membership in the Willianr and Mary groups is restricted to college and university students, thereby insuring a congenial atmosphere. Three groups are being planned, among which it expected that the most pop ular will be the Study-Travel group, one that has already met with great success for the past two summers. For those wl do not care to do anything e; cept travel the management w: organize for next summer group which will spend the ei tire summer traveling, tl Grand European Tour. Thirdly, for those who either do not feel able to afford one of the other two tours, or w-ho w'ant a loi time at home and a later staii; from New York, the Study Group will be organized. This last will appeal particularly to those who are interested only the six weeks’ summer school France, with about ten days Paris as they go to the schol and return therefrom. The unique feature of the William and Mary plan is the transplanting into Europe of weeks’ summer school, : which the usual courses of £ American college or university summer school will be offered, English, and by American col lege and university faculty members. The courses offered standard ones, such as On Wednesday evening, Dec ember 2, the Theta Delta Pi’s entertained at dinner at the Tea Room from 5:30 to 7:00. The decorations, including place cards and favors canied out the Christmas color scheme. Those present were Elizabeth Round tree, Margaret Farthing, Rose Fiazier, Cam Boren, Mary Johnson, Elizabeth Crouse, Ava Wellons, Martha Moye, Isabel Dunn, Elizabeth Hobgood, Anna Frances Redfern, Etta Dunn, Elsie Barnes, Ruth Piatt, Anna Southerland, Rachel Phillips, Fannie Person Rudge and Eva Flowers. to be taken at any six-weeks summer school in this country, English, History, Govern- it, French and other subjects. The school will be held at the seat of the University Toulouse summer school, Bagneres-de-Bigorre, in the Pyrennees mountains. In addi tion, any of the regular courses of the Toulouse summer school, French and by French pro- sors, are open to those mem bers of the party who may be interested. Credits for courses offered the group by its own instructors will be given at William and Mary College, and will be equal in value to the credits received for six-^veek courses taken in the William and Mary summer school at Williamsburg, Va. Sketches of the plans for each group are as follws: I. Study-Travel Group Sail from New York on June 26 and arrive at Liverpool July 3. The group will then visit the following places: Wai'wick, Leamington, Stratford, Oxford, London, Antwerp, Brussels, Cologne, the Rhine trip, Mainz, Heidelburg, Strassbourg, Lyons, v i g n o n, Toulouse, and agneres-de-Bigorre. The group will arrive at the last-named place, the location of the school, on July 18. At the end of the school period the group will visit Pau, Biarritz, San Sebastian, Tours, Chateaux of Touraine, Paris, Mont St. Michel, and thence to Cherbourg. The group will sail from Cher bourg and arrive at New York about September 4. The price on this tour, includ- g absolutely all expenses ex cept personal expenses, is $660. The management feels justified making the statement that an individual could not make the same trip, with the same ac commodations, for less than ,- This low price can be offered only because of special concessions, in the matter of •ailroad fares and other items, gianted by the French govern ment to educational projects. II. Grand European Tour. This group will leave on the same date as the one mentioned above, and will visit the same places until Strassbourg is reach ed. While the first group is at the summer school this group will travel as follows: Lucerne, Inter laken, Milan, Venice, Bologna, mce, Rome, Naples, Ve suvius, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Capri, Genoa, Monte Carlo, Nice, Grasse, Marseilles, Avignon, Carcassonne, and Toulouse.
