PAGE FOUR THE SALEMITE Saturday, November 17, 1928. Laments and Ailments j Tlie casualty list at Salem is real ly getting to be appalling. We tiiink something ought to be done about it but we have no sugge.stion. (Dear reader, you never ean imag ine what a bulwark of protection that editorial “we” is. We like it.) Well, we wish to give honorable men tion to some of the worst ea.ses, feeling that this publicity will be so consoling to them in their illness that it will prove a veritable tonic. I,\ieic Martin Currie is confined to tlie Infirmary. We couldn’t find out why, but we went to te.'v with her to Miss Minnie Smith’s last week and we bet we could gue We do hopt^ it isn't a sault and battery but we did hear one senior threaten all sorts of dire punishments because Miss Cu had ventured out into certain li of photography. Dot Ragan seems to be trair a bull-frog choir in her throat this week; but what can one expect from a zoologist? Margaret Vick is out of school frantically searching for her Personally, we don’t think that she’ll find it by being in bed; b we to criticize.? Mary Neal Wilkins found her voice tfiis week. We didn’t find out wlio had it, but we’re sure it was given hard treatment because it’s all groggy yet—maybe she pick ed up a pair of adenoids with it this Athena Campourakis is incessant ly complaining of bunions. Buncy Martin’s trouble is due to hot-dogs and onions. (Honest, we just can’t get away from a poetic style.) But, to get back to Athena’s bunions— wc, think somebody ought to organize a posse to get out and find that car of hers. We can’t have the girl sprouting corn till spring. Frost would kill it. Mildred Fleming really isn’t try ing to start a yellow finger-nail fad; it’s just sulphuric acid. (We think that’s right. We don’t study chem istry.) There is a surprising lack of boils with their cute little gauze patch work. ’Member how adorable Lib Andrew.s looked with her throat dressed up. Even our editor one thus adorned her intellectual brow. Ruth Carter has almost lost the use of her left hand. This ought to prove that one ought not to take sighcollegey so seriously. Kuth punched and jabbed at her hand to find the “spots” until it suffered a sort of paralysis. Now, we know all about the subject—don’t consult our record, take our word for it— and we didn’t do all that punching. But then we don’t have polka-dotted hands. It’s an ill-wind that blow.s noth ing good. FiVerything smells so sanitary and disinfected at Gooch’s since Pat’s been carrying a pint of Apinol or Absorbine or que voulez- vous on his cut finger. 'Poo bad everybody doesn’t have as invulnerable health as the Junior Basketball team. We know that certain Junior of very minute st.atue (elegant phrase, ain’t it?) shivered on the scrub bench all the after noon hoping Lillie Taylor woiil' break a finger-nail and be put out. Aside from these society personals, sleeping-sickness of the class-room genus is the only other prevalent iiialady. But we understand that it’s like growing pains and wisdom teeth and must be patiently endured while in coUegis. Let us then be down and snoring, With a hand before your face, Kct-p on dreaming, class is boring, (let some sleep in any ease. FERTILE FIELD OPEN TO STUDENTS OF SOCIOLOGY (Continued I'rom Page One) Hosiery Mill and others. Banking has been presented to the dasses through visits to the city banking firms, the newspaper busi- igh study of the actual publication of the city papers, while different phases of banking, insur- Building & Loan, and other ■ il subjects have been pre sented through talks from time to by local citizens having expert niation and wide experience in these matters. As in the field of economics, so in sociology, students at Salem College have exceptional opportunities as Winston-Salem and For.syth County have both taken a very advanced po sition in public welfare work. Fa cilities here for study in these lines arc comparable to those offered i much larger centers. The advantage of tint situation may be realized from the fact that in some institu tions in the state, trips of consider able length must be made for field work on this type. Salem C^ollege students in sociol ogy are not only made acquainted with the work of the various social agencies, but, through the cordial and generous co-operation of the City Health Department, the County Health Department, the Associated Charities, and the County Welfare Department, are permitted to engage al work in the line of social , thus getting valuable first hand information and experience, iln addition to this interesting talks made to the classes by do nurses, and other experts in welfare work. Visits are also made Children’s Home, the .luvenile Re lief Home, day nurseries, both white and colored, the ("ounty Home, and Dther similar institutions. The enlarging field of opportunity for women in business at the present time makes particularly desirable and profitable the knowledge gained through a study of economics and the application of its principles to the problems of everyday life. The work done in sociology tends to provide fitting preparation for effective com munity service on the part of the student after her college career ended—a very necessary preparal of the const.antly increasing s being placed upon service work as a vital fac ■ommunity life. He goeth out for athletics and ap- preciateth the w’arm welcome of the old men. Yea, the perfect freshman strolleth the long stairs and is thank ful that he is at H. T. C. and is a freshman. But who shall find such a freshman; 'or verily he is scarcer than Sopho- nore good deeds and the wings hereon. Yea, even tho’ thou takest the light of non-criticism and se diligently, or seizest the broom of strong hopes and sweep energeti cally, or lighteth the dark corners, d calleth in your neighbor to help, t—evenso—is thy task almost hopeless. Who shall find the paragon, for s price is above that of a senior. He riseth while yet it is dark to study his geometry theorems. His face strcameth with the sweat of effort. His work receiveth the ap proval of the lynx-eyed professor. Seek for him without ceasing, for in the heart of this school shall safely trust, saying: “Many children have I had, but thou are the most unusual, and in thee do I find the ; joy.” And his schoolmal shall rise up and call him blessed. ---Kxchanijc. (;F,OR(iIA TECH f.EADS CONFERENCE RACE (Continued From P;ige One) L'cntly lost a close nessee, bettered ing Kentucky into camp. V. P. I. is in line with three vic tories over Maryland, North Caro lina, and Virginia and stands a good chance of annexing the State Big Four title even if the Conference championship is too much for the (iobblers. V. M. I. was given a jolt by Clemson at I.ynchburg while Washington and Lee played Princc- m in an out-of-Conference game hich the Tigers had little trouble I winning. Further South, I.ouisiana State kc|)t its slate untarnished with a 19 i success at Mississippi’s expense, ranee, Mississippi A. & M., Mary- J, North Carolina State, and Au- n are still minus a Conference ;ory although the Old I,incrs dis played their wares by conquering a powerful Yale team 6 to 0 at New Haven. le Southern Conference stand to date, follow W T Doctor; “My dear, you have a nice new brother.” little Girl: “I’m glad it’s a boy ’cause Daddy was getting sort of sissified with just mother and me around.” I.ittle Jimmie, while standing in a trolley car, kept sniffling and rub bing his nose. A lady standing near asked him: “Have you got a handkerchief, boy ?” “Yes,” was the answer, “but I ain’t goBna lend it to no stranger.” The Perfect Freshman Blessed is the freshman who .-eck- eth not the foremost place in all or ganizations, who demandeth not a seat on the front row in every class, and who contenteth himself with a position slightly less honorable than that of a senior. Truly, he is a mar vel among the hordes of freshmen that infest the earth. Such a freshman is the perfection of etiquette in the halls of the diners. He jjutteth not his elbows on the ta ble nor his fingers in the soup. He plaeeth not his feet upon those of the suffering one at the opposite sid( of the table. Yea, so 'wondorously courteous is he that lie even seateth the lady at his left before he seateth himse'lf. In the crowded rooms of those be- ighted souls who seek wisdom at the feet of the learned, the perfect fresh- demandeth not the front seat, answereth questions never in tended to be answered, nor plagueth the professor with irrelevant and un- ’mportant interrogations, until—lo, the professor beomes ill with dis gust and mute with anguish. He taketh not volumes of notes and spendeth not hours later in copying them. So mee^k is he that at rare times he even admitteth that the pro fessor knows more than he on that phase of the subject. On the c.ampus his light is not hid. He rusheth not unseemly through the door while ladies and seniors wait for a passage. He giv- eth up the tennis courts to their rightful owners when it is time with out complaint. He beginneth every sentence with—“I know- in my high school—” He findeth some good in every professor—even tho’ it be but infinitesmal—and gen erously admitteth the finding.
