Something to Think About “Be true to your own act and congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extravagant and broken the monotony of a de corous age.” —Emerson. OUR PRESIDENTS The recent elections of presidents and officers of the Y. W. C. A. and the Student-Self Government Asso ciation indicate that next year will me of the best and most prosper- that Salem has ever experienced. The new presidents are especially to be congratulated, for each is fully capable of undertaking the respon sibility that has been placed upon her. It is to be hoped that they will receive the co-oper£tion of the entire student body in all of their work and undertakings. It is a gratifying fact that the students this 3'ear have whole-heart edly responded to the various calls from their presidents. Some few students still feel, however, that the leaders of an association elected, they have done their duty and are free to set back and let the officers do the work. If any organi zation is to be a success, it must have the sincere interest and co-oper- ation of each member of the student body. Each student should feel that she is an active part of the organi zation, that the organization is de pendent on her for its success, and that she has a definite responsibility placed on her. Again for next we have chosen capable girls for leaders, and realizing that we not given our best support to the officers this year, let us pledge services and loyalty to the leaders for 1928-29! the Academy Field Day will be held, frllowed by a picnic supper on the campus. At 8:15 Sarah Kincaid will give her graduating recital. On Thursday evening at 6:30 the stallation ceremony of the Student Government officers will be held in Memorial Hall. On Friday evening at 8:16 Susan Luckenbach appears in her graduat ing recital. Saturday, May 5, is May-Day. At :35 in the morning, Chapel will be held on the campus; at 1:00, the May-Day Pageant and Crowning of the May Queen; at 5:30 a picnic supper will be served on the campus at 8:00 two plays will be presented in Memorial Hall by the Pierrette Players. OUR EDITORIAL VALEDICTORY The t with y feelings of genuine regret, lay down our editorial pen and knowledge that our year’s worl complete. We have experienced some failures; and perhaps, a few .successes. For our failures we ask your indulgence; and if our efforts have afforded to you, our readers, some hours of diversion, some of interest, we feel well repaid. During our year’s contact with the problems which meet a college journalist, we have come to realize mere and more clearly, that the field of collegiate journalisni has many opportunities for development and expansion. At the present time, is immature. It is still in the plas tic or experimental stage—though it should always retain a certain amount of plasticity—and each year brings radical changes and vital im provements. Each new editor re- Announcements which to begin his work, and he in variably modifies different parts of his method as he acquires experi ence of his own. Most of these modifications contribute to the prog ress of the i>,'iper. Progress is a necessity to prevent stagnation, and. in order to insure the maximum amount of progress for his paper, the college editor must keep in constant contact with other college editors and with significant movement'i in other institutions. There are bonds between the differ ent publication heads through the uicdia of exchange d-;parlments an.l cf State Press Association, which enable editors to come together, to give each other the benefits of their experinces and to consider means of c>mmon progress. These bonds help collegiate journalism to advance and to grow. A college paper must, of course, have a certain amount of faith and a definite set of ideals behind it. It must live as an integral part of col lege life; it must strive to render The Mathematics Club will hold its regular monthly meeting Friday night at 7:00 in the Alice Clewell Campus Living Room. The meeting will be addressed by Dr. Thomas Amick of Elon, who will speak on the contributions made by the science of mathematics to the development of civilization. Dr. Amick is an interesting as well as authoritative speaker and a large audience is anticipated. Dr. Day attended the meeting of the American Mathematical Associa tion which was held at Duke Uni versity on April 13th. While thert Dr. Day delivered an address on the Historical Development of Algebra, Dr. Rondthaler will speak at the Duke University Chapel exercises Monday morning, April .‘iO.

From there they will go to Asheville where Dr. Rondthal er will again make an address. The State Federation of Women’s Clubs will hold its convention in High Point from Tuesday, May 1, to Thursday, May 3. There will be a number of interesting women speakers. Mr. Roy Campbell, of the Bioli Department, was in Chapel Hill Friday, April 21, attending a meet ing of the North Carolina Aca(lem_\ of Science. Mr. Campbell gave a well-informed talk on Gas-Produc ing and Spore-Forming Aerobes in water.
