Something to Think About You’re building each moment, In architect’s role A character dwelling— A home for the soul. So while you are building Don’t potter and slack; Just build a fine mansion Not merely a shack. PARAGRAPHICS 1 this ii We ners: appearmg are inclined to believe that the castic “contributor” to the Duke Chronicle must have had a conflict with some feminine antagonist, with disastrous results to himself. The freshmen are evidently enjoy ing probation. From their actions one would judge that they are anx ious to continue this state of affairs as long as possible. your work conscientiously, do your very best for each day’s assign ments, so tliat when the final reck oning comes in January you will be able to say with a clear conscience: “I have done my best work.” Re member, a word, or a “slip” to the wise is sufficient. Thanksgiving- As Thanksgiving approaclies we hear tliat a great many of the girls are planning to leave Salem to spend the day elsewhere. Some, and this includes many of the freshmen, are going home to spend the day in the usual way. Others are going on mere pleasure trips, to attend games at other colleges or to visit friends. Thanksgiving Day is one of the biggest, most exciting days of the whole year at Salem. In the morn ing we attend a beautifully impres sive service at the Home Moravian Church. In the afternoon, the final basketball games are played to de termine the winning of the champ ionship. In the evening we have the banquet which everybody en joys, and at this time, the silver cup and other athletic trophies are presented. At this time, the one occasion which calls for the greatest display of college and of class spirit, every body in the entire school should be present. The teams need every bit of support we can give' them. Weak cheering is certainly not a strong- incentive to a team to put forth its greatest effort; a poor audience will damp the highest spirits. If we wish our team to win the cup, we must be there to help. How do you suppose a Yale stu dent is rated if he is abseht from the Yale-Harvard game, in order to attend the Cornell-Princeton game? How can you rate yourself if you fail to be present at the one big game of the year at Salem in order to see a football game at Chapel Hill ? Some of you may laugh at a parallel between a big inter-col- legiate game and a series of inter class games, but there is a parallel nevertheless. Are you so blessed with college, spirit that you can afford to throw' away some of it? Can you afford to let your team do without your support? The players need you and it is your duty and your privilege to show your Salem spirit by being present at the game and at the banquet. OPEN FORUM You have heard before that Thanksgiving is a big day at Salem; you will hear it again, because it is a big day. It ought to mean a lot to us, but does it? Do we give it the important place which is its due? Think how much better and bigger we could make the day if the whole student body were here to make it go. Some of us, of course, have legit imate excuses for leaving the cam pus on Thanksgiving, but do you not think that most of those who leave go because they think they can have a better time elsewhere? When you go away for that reason you not only display rather poor class and colleg-e spirit, bvt you cheat'yourself out of the good time you could have here. Think of it: Salem and a holiday! That is a novel experience to say the least. Those of you who go away every Thanksgiving, and those who are planning to go this year for the first time, think it over and see if you can afford to miss the fun and the chance to support your class team. Think it over, and after you have thought, stay with us; it will “do you good and help you too!” —Letitia Currie.

THE IDEAL TRADE AND WEST FOURTH IMPERIAL HAT SHOP Smart Millinery For All Occasions 432 Trade Street Announcements A series of Faculty meetings has been held recently to consider the question of the taking of extra hours of work by students. A permanent committee has been formed to deal with the questions and the follow ing points have been decided upon (1) No Freshman may carry extra work. This is open to inter pretation as it does essarily exclude non-credit (2) Second and third yeiar dents may carry extra work if they have passed all their work during the preceding ,se mester. (;3) Fourth year students may car ry extra work in either semest er but they may not at the same time hold office in any college organization unless they have made B. ■ CONTRIBUTORS OR DANCING PARTNERS?! .ipropos of “The Chronicle” Heed Your Warning! This past week has been a very strenuous one for most of us marked the time when dreaded, and somewhat fatal, reckonings taken of us by the faculty in the forms of ugly, monstrous examina tions. To some, who have been ex ceedingly faithful in the prepara tion of each day’s assignment, the examinations have meant only a few hours of general reviewing. To the majority of us, however, who have yielded to the spirit of procrastina tion, and who have gleefully frol icked our time away, these mid semester exams have been a source of much worry and anxiety. An old maxim says that he who dances must pay the piper. Much to 0 sorrow and worry, we are having pay for our good times and gaiety by long hours of intense and centrated reviewing, and in many cases, by being the recipient of de ficiency slips. The deficiency slips which we re ceive are warnings, urging us to put more time and study on our work. They are to let us know just how firm is the scholastic foundation which we stand. If the foundation is weak a deficiency slip should be sufficient signal for re-enforcing and strengthening. If the warning is ignored the outcome next January will surely prove fatal and disas trous. If the signal is heeded, and our best efforts put forth, the re sults will certainly be profitable. Now is the time to begin. Attack In this enlightened age and in such a modern university as Duke I'e find that there is still a man so rchaic as to have the old masculine conceit which makes him believe tliat men have more intelligence and better ideas than women. In last week’s Chronicle, a columnist re ferring to the meeting of the N. C. C. P. A. at Raleigh, said that he was looking for the exchange of disappointed. He concluded this comment by saying, “Of course there were ‘the pretty maids all in a row’ wlio contributed nothing, but made excellent dancing partners.” The writer may not have meant that all the girls were of this type, but from what he said we infer this. There were, of course, outside newspaper men who made talks to the convention; but aside from the jokes that the toastmasters told, thought that the girls contributed as much as the men who were mem bers of the association. It was in the discussion groups that the great est exchange of ideas took place, and we recall that in the newspaper discussion group the girls did most of the discussing. It may satisfy the writer of this comment to that when the girls were quiet, they were probably listening to the men and learning from them. We are sorry that we cannot say about the men what this columnist said about the girls—some of them did not even make “excellent danc ing partners.” t) Elxceptional cases shall be considered by a standing mittee to be composed of the Registrar, and two other per sons who shall be appointed by the President of the Col lege. The decrees of this committee shall be final.

W. C. A. Vesper service was held on Sunday evening, November 6, in the campus living room of Alice Clewell building. Mary Duncan McAnally conducted the devotional exercises. The speaker of the evening was the Rev. Robert E. Gribbin, rector of Saint Paul’s Episcopal church. He is remembered and loved by many of the upperclassmen both as teacher and friend. Mr. Gribbin enumerated the many opportunities of youth and urged tlie students to take advantage of them. He then spoke at length on procrastination as the most insidious enemy of youth. The habit of mak ing excuses is the result of the lack of will power on the part of the itudent. A weak will which causes jrocrastination and excuses ruins a ■oung person both morally and piritually. Mr. Gribbin deplored the fact that will power is no longer onsidered a separate faculty of the nind to be trained and cultivated. To be able to overcome a weak will ind to do what js right rather than plan what is most pleasant is a true test of character. He then read a poem of John Drinkwater’s called “The Prayer,’ in which the writer prays that his will may be strength- ■ Mr. Gribbin closed his instructive talk by stressing the necessity and importance of keeping promised; ACADEMY GAMES AND BANQUET GIVEN NOV. 7 The final soccer game cf the Academy was played on Monday afternoon, November 7, with the eighth and tenth grades winning by a score of 1-0. The ninth and elev enth grades together were opposing the combined team of the eighth and tenth grades. This game as a whole was very exciting, and each side put up a good fight. A sumptuous banquet was served in the Academ}' dining-room. The room was artistically decorated in autumn colors, while the tables were arranged in “U” shape. At the base of the “U” the teams were seated. Doris Kimel was toastmis- tress for the occasion. Toasts were given to the winning and losing teams. Tliere were announcements of the tennis and croquet champion ships, both of wliich were awarded to Virginia Harris, and of tlie per centage of girls out for sports be sides the members of the soccer var sity. At the conclusion of the pro gram, each class sang its song. Tlie honor guests were Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler, Mr. and Mrs. Long, Miss Atkinson, Mr. Harris, of Greenville, S. C., and Mrs. L. P. Wood, of Pennsylvania.
