THE SALEMITE
THREE
Corridors Become
■ Baseball Diamond
Once upon a time (and it wasn’t
so very, very long ago as this con
ventional beginnin might infer) the
minds of the great and the near-
great of Salem College were pour
ing over essentially non-essential
facts behind the historic doors of
Main Hall, utterly oblivious to tli?
phenomenon which was taking place
on the other side of the doors in the
forsaken corridors.
Had the students but peered
through the door, they would have
seen a ball flying dangerously
through the air, back and forth,
back and forth. No, gentle reader,
it was not a snow-ball—that would
have been more appropriate to the
weather—but a hard, sho- nuff base-,
ball. In its flight through the at
mospheric elements, tlie ball was
methodically halted in its course by
a bear-like glove (real, professional
baseball gloves, too), and sent back
wards again by that glove to another
Sounds like a fish-tale, doesn’t it?
But it’s not, for inside those gl
were hands, and these hands were
attached to the persons of Lillian
Tucker and Mary Elizabeth Pinks
ton, two eager freshmen who were
warming up for spring practice.
“If tt'inter comes, can spring be
far behind?’'
Organists Imitate
Noises In Terror
The Elephant’s Purr
Stroke, stroke,” cooed Eleanor
Fix to a pink boudoir pillow, as she
smoothed the satin ribbons which
made a neat bow, on one corner of
the pillow. “Wouldn’t this make a
choice cat,” she thought aloud.
This ribbon would make a darlin’
tail, and the pink flowers would do
lars,—but w'he're’d I get the
meow’.^”
Whoever heard of a pillow like
that being a cat!” scorned “Nonie”
an, as she skipped gracefully
the room. "You would call it
a pesky old cat. It’d make a much
more attractive elephant. That long
pink bow would make a gorgeous
trunk! Oh, by the by, ‘suster,’
Li’d never guess how I’m going to
est the two thousand that Uncle
Hezekiah left me!!”
“I think you ought to start a cat
farm,” was Eleanor’s brilliant sug
gestion.
'Oh, for goodness sake, Eleanor,
I’d just as soon start a home for
blind cockroaches! Anyway,—r
going to invest it in a real, live ele
phant—one substantial enough for
■‘Addie” and me to ride every day,
instead of one of these dumb-looking
horses from the farm.”
'Well, talk about foolish ideas!”
i Eleanor’s sneering reply, as she
blinked her sky-blue eyes in disdain,
‘‘and to tell you a thing or two,—
I’m going to buy two cats, with
what’s left of my book account, and
before long you’ll think you’re at
the ‘Katz University’ instead of
Salem College ... I hope you’ll
like it!”
Three freshmen left the rooi
disgust.
Search to Discover Origin of Weird
Tones Prove Futile
Young lady detectives around the
college are polishing up their spec
tacles, opera glasses, and hearing ap
paratuses, in order to find out if any
of the Salem music students really
(actually!) have had instruction in
pipe organ music from the terror
who maltreated the ivories so egreg-
iouslv in the Vitaphone picture,
“Tlie Terror.”
The ladies have no direct clue to
the present supposition, but work
ing with the hieriminating evidence
of numerous peals scattered hither
and yon at annoying times, (study
hours) they hav(; decided that the
extortions from the organ next to the
Day Students’ study room and the
tones used in “The Terror,”
identical.
Detectives, who are handicapped
by classes and miscellaneous dra
backs, are still hot on the path of
finding a “yes” or “no” to the
ter. The "fact is that many Sher-
locks are stationed around the tables
in the Day Students’ room. All this
on the pretext of studying, keep
text books open before them. No
sooner do they become absorbed in
conversation than the peace-destroy
ing tones monopolize the lime light,
and everything becomes a matter of
search again. (N. B.—For the
present time, no ears are being lent
to friends and relatives).
Among the noble attempts which
have been made to find out the source
of the evil, is the fact that a
table Joan D’Are journeyed down
to the basement to experiment with
the motor of the organ in hopes of
finding some serious trouble with
the motor. She was almost in the
act of inspecting it, when an
announced mouse made its exit across
her foot. As a result of this event
the experiment was a failure
as certain authorities have it, '
en detectives are not very alert
when vermin become involved
their dealings.

SENIORS ENTERTAINED
AT DELIGHTFUL DINNER

guests.

outcast. It happened that the baby
had tuberculosis of the spine and
would have been crippled anyway,
but the mother blamed the whole
event on her small daughter, who
thereafter always carried with her
a sense of guilt. Charity organiza
tions need people who have studied
human nature to solve such case
problems. Dr. de Schweinitz added
several other interesting examples,
the understanding of which required
insight and careful observation.
The speaker closed his address by
explaining that the field for social
service work is now open to college
graduates. To become a w'orker a
person must have a college education
and two years of training. Although
the salary is moderate at first, there
is a chance for promotion to the
eeutive positions, which are open
pecially for women. Social sen
work is hard but intensely interest
ing.
At the conclusion of the lecture
Dr. Rondtlialer urged everyone ii
tcrested in social service work I
talk to Dr. de Schwcinitz for infor
mation and advice.
Hallie: So, you’re taking
home ee course?
Rose Frazier: Yes; I want to be
able to pick out the right things
when I go into the delicatessen store.

The Associated Charities of the
city finds people who are in dire
;d, people who have no work, and
promises of work i nthe future.
These are sent to the Institute where
they learn to patch clothes, re-varn-
or paint furniture, make over
garments and do any number of
little useful things. People in town
donate the articles and the workers
spend the first three days of the
in fixing them over, then the
last three in selling them to any who
wish to buy. They receive for their
labors one dollar a day.
They are people with absolutely
) opportunities to learn or appre
ciate the things which are essential

They know nothing of the proper
or clothing. The Good Will
Organization, in trying to help them
to understand the fundamentals of a
clean life, asked the members of the
Y. W. C. A. of Salem College to
i out and give a series of lec
tures. Our organization has given
four such talks. The first was “Hy
giene of the Body,” by Doris Shir
ley, the second, “Proper Diet and
Different Ways of Preparing Food,”
by Miss Leftwich, and the last two,
“The Necessitv of Happiness in
Work and How it ]\Iay Be Ob
tained,” by Elizabeth Roper )and
by Miss I.eft-
wich. At one of these times, the
Y. W. served a meal for the work
ers, a cheap but well balanced, and
nourishing meal.
The workers have bound them
selves into a club, “The Good Will
Club,” with Evelyn Boggs as
president.
These people are anxious to learn,
eager to k(noW how to take tlie
proper care of themselves. They
are grateful for every thing done
for them, regardless of how .small
a thing it may be. They appreci
ate all the attempts the towns
people are making to help them to
be happy. They are trying their best
to be happy and to do well in their
work. 'I'hey are determined, the
most of them, to make the best of
their chance; for all they know it
may be their last.

A new clerk, dictating a few days

sleepily:
“No, I sleep with mama.”

Fight for “Women’s Rights”
As early as 18i8 agitation for
women’s rights was commenced
Seneca Falls, N. Y., by Lucretia
Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
Prior to this, under some Colonial
governors, women voted, and at the
time of the American Revolution de
manded to be included in the gov
ernment. Susan B. Anthony became
a leader in 1818, but it was not
until 1872 that she made the test
by voting at the polls. She was
rested and fined, but was not jailed
for refusing to pay her fine, which
she did. In 1875 the first woman
suffrage amendment was drafted and
introduced in 1878 by Senator Sar
gent of Colorado. Several other
measures were introduced later, and
an amendment to the Constitution
was passed by the house January 10,
1918, and by the senate, 1919, and
was ratified by the necessary r
ber of states in 1920.
