As the Easter season again approaches we are reminded of its peculiarly appropriate cele bration by the community of Salem and renew our appn tion of the distinctive value of the series of services leading up to Easter Sunday and culminat ing in the service in the grave yard. The Wednesday chapel services during Lent, the leaf lets of Easter songs no’ and the evening services during Passion Week are all part of the Easter tradition and as such have a deep significance for every Salem girl. If this is not true of any individual she has failed to a certain degree, to catch the full meaning of the atmosphere and traditions of Salem. Easter is the most vital part of the life of the munity and from its earliest days Salem College has been identified in this respect, with the life of the community. Salem students, t h e r should take pride in the Easter celebration and its preparatory services and should appreciate them as part of the histori heritage of the college. spring weather, the condition of the courts, field and turf, or to the attitude of the heads of spoi'ts, is not evident, but it evident that someone is to be congratulated on the unwonted and praiseworthy activity, hasten to do so, with the hope that the congratulations reach the right person, and that the interest in athletics will con tinue. Needless to say, there are a few students no doubt who need reminding that Salem College is judged by them, especially dur- holiday season. Salem students are Salem representa tives, and as such, they should live up to the standards and ideals of Salem. To some ir- ■esponsible students, there are 10 ideals or standards, and detri mental advertising is the out- Every student has a re sponsibility, in this line, and it her duty, and should be her piivilege, to fulfill it to the best of her ability. OSBTCBKl aacH SBZHEliSi We were glad to notice that the tennis courts have been ex tremely popular these past days. The tournament promises to be the best yet held, judging from the amount of practicing that 3 been going on. Engaging some form of athletics splendid preventative and the well-know'n “sp ever”—we offer this as a sug gestion, as we judge that all of us more or less are victims of it at one time or another. The song service last Friday evening proved that meeting can be a great success without a talk if everyone will lend her part and spirit to help the singing. That is the kind of Y. W. services to have—one in which every member does her part and gives her support. There will be at least one are song service, and every one cordially invited to come and feel some of that thrill which comes from such services. ' On the Friday following Easter the program committee hopes to have Mrs. W. L. Reid. Mrs. Reid gives beautiful read ings, and with some special musical numbers the meeting will certainly be somewhat in formal but very interesting. The Y. W. C. A. wishes to each and every one of its mem bers a very happy Easter—ful of good times, yes; but restfu as well in order to start back again with a new zeal into the •eeks of work. This vim should apply not only to academic work, but to college interests in general—not forget ting the Y. W. C. A. Fean Shirley Gives Second Lenten Recital Usual Thursday Music Houi' Is Delightful Organ Recital. On Thursday a f t e March 25, Dean H. A. Shirley gave his second Lenten organ recital in Memorial Hall. Dean Shirley’s Lenten recitals have al ways been a source of much pleasure in the community, and the one on Thursday was par ticularly delightful. The opening number on the program was “Soeur Monique” j The second picture was “Prep MacDowell Club Gives Three Amusing Comedies (Continued from Page One) amusement was exhausted they had further sensational ad ventures to complete the after noon. Finally, their pranks were effectively ended when the mothers claimed their babies and :ged the protesting at tendants home with them. Joe eventually managed to elude his pursuer and don garments more befitting his years and ex perience than the despised baby clothes. Within a week, Salem stu dents will be scattered through out the state. It will, in every case, no doubt, be a period of great enjoyment and pleasure— for holidays are always, not only a goal of leisure to which o may look forward, but also time of fun and hilarity. The Easter holidays, however, different, or should be; for the significance of the season should tinge every activity. In the midst of joy, there should not be lost sight the real meaning of Easter—the glorious con firmation of the Christian belief. In the midst of this spring vacation, one should pause, and for the immediate Easter period, realize what Easter really means, why it is celebrated, and what its influence should be on all activities. More people than- ever before seem to be engaged in athletics: the whole campus is alive with girls engaged in archery, base ball, tennis, golf and track prac tice and everyone seems to be taking part with an unusual amount of vigor and enthusiasm. Whether this is due to the I Salem College. The Open Forum column was in use in the last issue of the Salemite, and we are sure iiiat everyone who read the article agreed with it heartily, strongly enforce the argument, and agree with the writer ■ything which she said c cerning the person guilty of abusing the library privileges. Such a flagrant violation of rules is inexcusable, and such selfishness is almost unbelievable of a college woman. It is to be hoped that every person who ever takSn a book out without permission read the article and profited by it. Incidentally, let us call atten- m to the fact that this was Open Forum article, that it pressed student opinion and that will gladly welcome any more such contributions. Miss Ruth Duncan Will Accompany Mr. Monroe Mr. W. C. Monroe, Distinguished Baritone, Sings in Greensboro. On Friday, March 26, Miss Ruth Duncan went to Greens boro to play the accompaniment for Mr. William Clegg Monroe, a . „ . . prominent baritone of Charlotte, i ° ^ Faculty Plays Against Academy Winning Team (Jame Fast and Interesting; Score Stands Twelve to Twelve. One of the most interesting athletic events of the season took place last Wednesday after noon, March the twenty-fourth, when the academy winning team, the seniors, played a basket ball game with members of the academy faculty. The teams wei'e evenly matched, and play- with enthusiasm and vigor, and the game ended with a score of twelve to twelve. ' The game had been well- advertised for sometime vance: clever announcements had been made in chapel, and tags were sold as tickets, so that ere going might them.

The latter is an invitation affair and is under the auspices of the Euterpe Club. While in Greensboro, Miss Duncan will be the guest of Mrs. Norman Wills, president of the North Carolina Federation of the Woman’s Club, and the aunt of Miss Margaret Albright, a Heard in Chemistry 2: Who former teacher of English at | made the first nitride ? larger than twelve.

Its composer Frenchman who lived before the time of Bach and who influenced the latter to some extent. The following selection, “Ave Maria’ by Arcadelt, a leader in thf Netherland School, was very lovely. The ringing of chimes during the opening measure gave the effect of tranquil solemnity which pervaded the entire composition. Dean Shirley’s interpretation of these two selections showed a keen ap preciation of the inner beauty of the music. The third number on the pro gram was Borowski’s Third Sonata. This beautiful composi tion, published within the last year and a half, offered a strik ing contrast to the preceding selections. The Sonata is written four movements—Allegro Spirito, Allegretto, Andante, and Allegro Brillante—and is a •thy example of recent ciea- e work. Dean Shirley played throughout with perfect mastery and artistic effect. The final numbers on the pro gram was a group of descrip tive pieces by R. Deane Shure— ‘Through Palestine”. The entire group was very lovely and picturesque and was particularly appropriate to the Lenten Season. The various pieces as follows: By the Pool of Bethesda (Miracle of Five Porches) The Sea of Galilee (Peace Be Still) Mt. Ilermon (The Transfiguration) Garden of Gethsemane (“Could Ye Not Watch With Me One Brief Hour?”) School,” a story of a boys’ prep school, and of a boy who earned his way through school by peei ng potatoes. He received :-ather rough treatment from his more fortunate school-mates, the end he gave them a shock which they were not ex pecting. At the close of this picture Miss Chase announced that the picture, “Lovers in Quarantine”, which the club had intended to present had not arrived and that therefore another comedy, “New Brooms,” would be given instead. “New Brooms” was the story a young man who tried to teach his father how to do busi ness. The father argued for some time without effect, and finally agreed to allow his son to try out the modern methods, by taking over the control of the business for one year. The year was full of many and varied ex periences. The young man tried out all of his new ideas, tried to treat his workmen in a brotherly manner, and meet every situa tion with a smile. At the end of the year his experiences had made of him a sadder and a man. He decided that his father was not so narrow and old-fashioned as he had con sidered him. There was an ad ditional interest in the love- story which formed a part of the plot. A happy and satisfactory ending concluded the picture. Accompanying music was pro vided by Dean Shirley at the organ. I have recently purchased a Rembrandt. Patriotic American: Well, American cars are good enough for me. “Ssh!
