Paragraphics
No doubt, both Freshmen and
upper-classmen are glad and relieved
that the time will soon come when
chaperones will no longer be nec
essary.
Tlie Sophomores are wondering if
they could possibly have been as
green as this year’s Freshmen. Now
we ask you—wliat do you think?
We hear a lot about dignified Sen
iors—but where are they around
It’s a queer thing how some people
manage to develop ability, person
ality, and become influential in just
ten days.
To Freshmen
You stand on the threshold of a
college education. You stand in the
door of the greatest opportunity of
your life. Men and women in the
very prime of life envy you. Your
college life is before you, your fu
ture career looms over the horizon.
Remember, your attitude during
your college life will mean more
towards your success or failure than
anything you possess. It will pay
to be fair to your studies, to college
activities, athletics, religious, and
social. Launch out into the open
field of usefulness. You are needed
at the top. Do not overlook the
fact that you are competing with
your fellow classmates—not the
teacher or the graduate—in truth,
you are even competing with your
self.
Work!
Now that vacation is over,
settle down to‘work. Let us forget
and leave the good times of this
past summer and set about the busi
ness of acquiring a little knowledge.
This life has many desirable things
to offer, but honest efforts and in
dustry are needed to acquire them.
When school closes in the spring,
we all are seized with the same de
sire—there is a hankering just to
bask in the good old summer sun
shine. The brain becomes idle
scholastic interests are discarded—
many duties are neglected—for ev
eryone wishes to play.
Ere many weeks, the now green
leaves on our campus will be taking-
on brilliant hues, an(3|' forming a
carpet of incomparable designs of
beauty for our industrious feet.
Jack Frost is just around the corner.
Christmas holidays are looming in
the offing—inviting the student to
use a few extra ounces of' energy in
securing that trifling gaiety she will
enjoy.
It is now time to become adjusted
to campus life and to settle down to
work, so that when the hurricane of
finals descends upon us we will not
have to sweat blood in striving tc
convince the professor that we real
ly know something. There are al
most innumerable things that this
modern college life has to offer for
all-the-year-around comfort and sat
isfaction. How may we acquire
these things? Work!
A Freshman’s First
Impression of Salem
Who could feel worse than
freshman on the opening day of
school? When I first arrived
lem I had a most peculiar sensation
of homesickness mingled with
esity and wonder at the strange
procedure through which I knew I
was to go. What would the classes
teachers and most of all, the girls
be like? I was not left alone long
with my puzzling because
had I arrived than a girl in a blue
dress rushed up to me asking my
and where I lived. Here at
least was some friendly person!
When she had led me through the
Jines of registration and had taken
me to my room I sat down to think.
Could I have done wrong in no
bringing any blue dresses to Salem
Every girl I had seen except those
just arriving had on blue dresses.
Could Salem be a school where the
girls wore uniforms? I was wor-
■ied with that thought until a girl
who said she was my big sister and
I know she was not because I have
only brothers^ told me we could
ear any kind of dress we iiked. The
rl who claims to be my big sister
has been nice to me and has caused
to like Salem, but why she per-
s in saying she is my sister I
not know. As long as she wants
to claim me as a sister I will let
her but it is certainly strange.
beginning to feel at home
here now. This morning I met a
looking girl in the hall. She
looked rather despondent and sad.
So I walked up to her and began
conversation by asking her name
id where she lived. She smiled at
e and talked nicely so I believe I
did her some good. Isn’t that the
Salem spirit—to be friendly
By the w'ay, I might mention that
she smiled and said her name -v
Elizabeth Lilly. I do not know
what class she is but she is a ni
sweet girl. Here at Salem even (
President, whom I thought would
awe me, speaks to me. Why,

to me,—a freshman. I liked that.
I’ll tell you something that is strange
I have the same classes

than anything to visit the girls that
have been thoughtful of me. Salem

MOON MADNESS
Your smile a bit of sunshine
Cauglit from the sunset’s glow.
Your eyes were pools where stars
danced,
Wlien the harvest moon hung low.
Your voice was just a whisper
Brought by a summer’s breeze.
From some fragrant, shadowed gar-
Where it kissed the blossomed trees.
Your lips were soft like rose petals
That flake a dewey lawn—
I only kissed them once that night,
After that—you were gone.
Somehow you are always in my
memory.
In my dreams I see your image fair.
Was it a moon—made phantom by
the fountain.
Or were you really there?
—A Sophomore.
