I NEW CAMPUS BUILDINGS TO A U Awaxr BE ERECTED SOON ^ DredK /\way (Continued From Page One.) i Bitting Building. Brick for the new Salem Academy plant are expected to be let on the opening day of school, 1929, after which construction will be immedi ately begun, and the new building will be ready for occupancy by Sep tember, 1930. Three new buildings, memorials to respected Salem alumnae, Mary F'ries Patterson, Carrie Fries Shalf- ■ ner, and Emma Fries Bahnson, and . gifts of the children of these sisters, will be erected on the east side of Salem campus, upon “the hill” be yond the Pleasure Grounds. After spending some time studying the architectural style of old Salem, Mr. Hobart Upjohn, well known architect of churches, and schools, designed the buildings, which in ev- ■ ery detail carry out the artistic col onial styles which prevail about Sa lem Campus. •• Two of the three buildings will be ! used as dormitories, the first housing ■ fifty-six students and the second \ fifty-eight. Besides having comfort- able bedrooms equipped with hot and ' cold water, the first building will enclose a small kitchenette and din ing room for class parties, a parlor and locker room for day students, a laundryette and, in the wing, the heating plant and incinerator. The second dormitory will have the din ing room, with a seating capacity of one hundred and fifty, and the kitch en, with every convenience, including refrigeration and pantry on tht first , floor. The middle building of the group, known as Mary Patterson Building, '■ will be devoted to administrative and i' l teaching purposes. In the building M on the first floor will be a chapel and ■ assembly hall with seating capacity ^^>f three hundred and fifty people ‘I^Pand stage capacity of an additional ij sixty. The stage will be equipped ^ for all concerts and plays which meet Academy needs. In the rear of the Assembly Hall will be cosy nooks with open fireplaces and large colonial settees. The large sun parlor for prome nade, with its wide portico, is in the center of the grouped buildings. The driveway and public entrances to the building will approach from South east Boulevard. At the termination of the winding drive are three en trances, known respectively as “Car- Shaffner, Mary Patterson, and ma Bahnson” entrances. From the hallways two large colonial par lors, furnished in fitting style, open. It is planned to have beautiful flowers gardens and shrubbery sur rounding the buildings and com pleting their artistic effect. A sort of spontaneous glee club ^mtd to liave formed in Room 17 !. Friday morning. A gr‘)up of •y dignified young ladies ■ (don t they look it on the stage.?) had as sembled and were waiting, musically, for their professor to arrive. “Am 1 Blue,” they carolled, and the tragic notes seemed to suggest that they were fairly purple. They sang feelingly of “I.ouise,” probably a summer friend, and of “Pete,” an appealing, sweet kid who plays the piccolo. Wide-eyed freshmen stared through the door in amazement, and catching something about “Lonely Nights,” applied little white squares to their eyes reminiscently and fled To think that those girls who sang standing (or wabbling) at the port al on Thursday should be reduced on Friday to the frivolous, non sensical rhymes about piccolo tweet- ings and birds’ twitterings! It’s their oppressive dignity nubbing them down. Anyway that’s “their sin. ’ Tliey were prophesying glo rious futures that had more to do with Spanish, practical bungalows than with round, ribboned parch ment which ought to be the end of their dreams. Unless they get a little more serious, it won’t be long before the strains of “I’ve Gotta Feeling I’m Failing,” will be floating around the corriders and the Fresh men, no longer wide-eyed, will look up pertly and answer, “Maybe, Who Knows ?” HOBART UPJOHN SPEAKER AT FIRST CHAPET> (Continued F'rom Page One.) classrooms and offices. The assem- V J room will be in the basement, ■Jthe dormitories will be in the end Doings, and the dining room in tht Bsbasement of one wing. IjH Immediately after chapel regular ^Bclasswork began with a smoothness *whieh would seem to be impossible. r-vEffieient plans for enrollment and its preliminaries had been worked out during the summer and the regular schedule was begun without delay. Papa: “Don’t you want to be the kind of girl that people look up to?” Daughter; No; I want to be the kind of a girl that people look around at.” —Exchange. HEAR YE ! 'Why do so many women rest their chins on their hands when thinking,” propounded the studious Buck. “That’s easy,” replied his friend. “It’s to keep their mouths shut so they won’t disturb themselves.” —Exchange. The father touring Europe on his leave of absence, did not forget the ones he left behind. His son re ceived a card from Sparta saying: “This is the cliff from which the Spartans used to throw their defect ive children. Wish you were here. Dad.” -Exchange. Telegrams From Alumnae No one but a Salem alumna ca know how I long to be “standing £ the portal” with you this morning. To the seniors, congratulations; to the juniors, and little sisters, much love; to the sophomores—well, you are so important you don’t need thing but I send greetings; to freshmen, best wishes for four hap py, happy years;—and to Salem, my deepest devotion.
