Though it may seem hard at the time to do the right thing, we are sure, in the end, to be glad for our choice. If You Want to Get Thin, Try This! N ow that spring is coming, we are beginning to feel somewhat inclined to get out and enjoy the pleasant and invigorating spring air. Front campus has already become a popu lar place for afternoon strolls. It is just in such weather as this that soccer is best played. Instead of loitering out on the front half an hour or so, why not come down to the athletic field and join in an en joyable and exciting game of soc cer.^ The exercise will do you good —and will give you plenty of pep. If those girls who half starve them selves to death in their efforts to reduce W'ould only indulge in a bit of exercise, such as soccer, they would suddenly discover that they have quite a slim figure, as well as a hearty appetite. Some of the girls who have the habit of applying beauty cream for the benefit of their complexions will find that se\ speedy games of soccer will do i good than all the beautifying cream in Winston-Salem. In fact, there’ nothing like a game of soccer for an hour full of pep and fun. Do be cheated out of your fun—c out, join the crowd, and let’s play soccer together! tlirough the forest he saw Jim walk ing calmly toward him. “■lolm!” He clasped the hand of his friend. .John almost cried w'ith delight for the .strange light had gone from his eyes, and the queer tone from his voice.

Service to Our College We see, very frequently, beautiful examples of service to Salem on the part of loyal alumnae. Two that have come to our attention recently are Mrs. Holt Haywood’s gift of trees and shrubbgry for the lower campus, and the alumnae movement for the Living Endowment Fund. We appreciate these deeds of service, for we, as students, receive the bene fit of them. We realize at the same time that we have a responsibility in another field of service, for while the alumnae are doing what they can in a material way to improve Salem, it is our duty to keep her spirit up to what it has always been and to do all that we can to live up to her ideals. By doing this, we prove our gratitude for what those who have gone before us have done and for what the alumnae are doing now. Probably we often do not realize what we can do to be of service. There are little things that come up every day that are no one’s partic ular responsibility and in the doing of which one receives little or no recognition, but which do present op portunities for service. Frequently there comes a necessity for choice when we must decide for ourselves whether to follow a course which will benefit us personally, or our college. It may be a choice of time, whether we shall use our time for pleasure or for helping in some way to carry forward a worthy plan. We may have to choose between activi ties and make a decision between the one which would bring the most per THE FALL ROCK John Stuart was thinking about his friend, Jim. He had thought about him much during the past year for Jim had received a terrible shock which had effected his mind. Since that time, John had taken care of him, and had taken him away from the tumult of the city a secluded cabin on the edge of a shadowy forest. During the tir which they had stayed there, J: had seen no man other than John, for his friend thought that he might perhaps recover more quickly away from men. At times Jim would s and stare vacantly at John, wondei ing who he might be. Today, Jim had been unusually quiet. He had not kept up his in cessant babble about nothing which often distressed John. He had seemed listless but not thoughtful for his poor brain lacked the power of thought. As John sat smoking the silence, Jim came from the i side of the cabin. He looked toward the gloom of the forest and a strange look appeared in his eyes. “I should like to go to the Fall Rock,” he said slowly, as though the idea troubled him. He started in the direction of the forest. Jim joined him silently. Soon they they arrived at the Fall Rock, a place of shadowy beauty. Through a silvery waterfall could be seen the entrance of a cave, a cj of shadowy green lighted b}’ da of gold and opening its mouth to receive the spray from the falls. Jim stood gazing at this picture of graceful beauty as he had often done before. The place had always had a strange effect on Jim, and it seem ed to hold some secret which he could not fathom. “If I should enter that cav would return as I should be,” said clearly and a light, hopeful and yet unfathomable, appeared in his eyes. Before John could speak, Ji had plunged into the falls. I threw back his head and a wi laugh rang out as the cool wat poured over him, then on he we into the cave. “Jim!” Jim!” There came : answer. The sound of the falls mocked. John went in after hi; friend, into the mystic silveryness of the cave. He traversed the entire length and his calls echoed througli- out the stillness, yet he found sign, no trace of Jim. He arrived in the little hamlet nearby, breathless, and returned with a group of men. Again the cave was searched and again there was no Jim. The falls seemed to laugh as though they knew all. After a sleepless night, John early, haunted by a thousand fears and unable to find an explanation of Jim’s disappearance.

This occasion had been anticipated for several ■ks and it fulfilled all expecta tions in every way. A very unique program had been arranged, featur ing comedians, crystal gazing, GEORGEOUS EASTER APPAREL In a Myriad of Lovely New Styles, Colors and Fabrics.

ENGLISH ACTOR GIVES PLEASING PROGRAM Teachers’ Appointment Bureau at Salem Bureau for .lid to Seniors in Secur- ing Positions Is K.'itahlished A Teacher's Appointment Bureau is to be established at Salem, which will have charge of the applications which seniors may send for positions. Tliis bureau will get statements from the heads of the departments in which a student is majoring- and mi- noring, and these will act somewhat as recommendations when the stud ent is applying for a position. Greensboro, N. C., March 12— (C. P.)—The contribution of V. L. Granville, English actor of note, to the lecture program of N. CJ. college, a delightful and instructive en- linment involving the picturiza- tion of manv famous characters from fauious plays. Mr. Granville’s presentation bore tlie name “Dramatic Interludes.” His first group consisted of charac ters from Greek, Roman, and Eliza bethan drama. His second group centered upon re]>resentations from more modern drama—French, Ger man, Russian, and English. T.ightning changes from one make up to another, attractive and repre- pretation of characterization kept the audience attentive and had much to do with making the performance successful. FRESHMEN AT N. C. C. W. FURNISH READING ROOM The freshman class at N. C. C. W. has as its aim for the year trans forming the reading room of the li brary into an attractive place where students may read at leisure books and magazines placed there at their disposal. The class would also un dertake to place easy chairs, a rug, a lamp, pictures and hooks in a room to be used by the patrons of the college. To this end, the freshmen spon sored a fair on Saturday afternoon, which was a round of 'fun for all who participated. It offered an ar ray of booths furnishing interesting entertainment and many side attrac tions. Current reports have it that the freshman fair added greatly to the fund for the improvement of the reading room. Nightmare. The ]>rofessor had for some time been profoundly occupied with ])robIems on higher mathematics. He had therefore richly deserved the noontime nap he had taken. But shortly after falling asleep, heartrending cries were heard from his bedroom. His wife rushed in and found him in a half-awake and bewildered condition. “But w'hat's the matter with you?” she inquired solicitously. “Ah w’hew!—I’ve had such a dreadful nightmare. I dreamed our little Samuel w'as a negative frac tion under a cube-root sign and I couldn’t get him out from under!” A. & P.
