little thoughts for
TODAY
Inflict not an enemy every in
jury in your power, for he may
afterwards become your friend.
—Saadi.
If we could read the secret
history of our enemies, we
sliould find in each man’s life
,orrow and suffering enough to
disarm all hostility.
—Longfellow.
From envy, hatred, and mal
ice, and all’ uncharitableness,
good Lord deliver us.
—Booh of Common Prayer,
—The Litany.
COLLEGE LIFE
The subject which occurs to us
t this time of the year is the neces-
ity of a well-rounded college life,
.et us consider participation in ath
letics, and in all campus activities,
equally as important as mere schol
astic energy. Many girls do not
realize, until after they have finished
school, that the way to make the
most of every opportunity for devel
opment which college life affords.
Then it is too late to make amends.
Salem oifers you a diversified
field. Avail yourself of the privilege
to enjoy acting with the Pierrette
Players, if you have dramatic ability,
or to enjoy seeing their plays, even
though you are not sufficiently tal
ented to participate. Go out for
soccer, basket-ball, volley ball,
hockey, tennis, swimming, or base
ball. You don’t have to be an
lete in order to derive benefit and
pleasure from sports. Everybody
likes to play; and these games are
simply a healthful form of recrea
tion. Physical fitness is essential to
mental alertness, as you all know;
though you may have a tendency to
ignore the truth of this statement.
Then, too, you will be enriched spir
itually by a loyal interest in \
work of 'the Y. W. C. A. It is
cowardly and an ignorant idea
think participation in devotional
services implies prudishness and a
false sort of religiosity. The spirit
of the Y. W. is something entirely
different from the perverted concep
tion which you may have. You will
appreciate the value of this organi
zation if you attend its services.
Of course the main object of at
tending college is to secure an edu
cation, and we usually think of edu
cation in terms of books. We must
be careful not to make the mistake
of contenting ourselves with just
skimming by, and making of
minds a replica of an empty egg
shell. Possibly the most important
phase of all is association with other
girls. It is very unwise to limit one’s
self to a few friends; think of the
interesting new people we might be
saying these things
merely to fill up space, or to make
a good impression, or to incur (
cism for seeming to preach (or to be
typocritical). Having “been here,’'
we realize the importance of having-
varied interests and of being c;
ful not to overlook interest phi
of college life.
PARAGRAPHICS
The Senior Class seems to have
phenomenal money-making proclivi
ties this year. We think that they
should be congratulated for having
acquired one hundred dollars during
the past three weeks.
This has certainly been a strenu
ous week for practically everybody
on the campus—what with all the
electing, pledging, installing, and
campaigning. Let’s relax today.
By way of relaxation, try “Col
lege Love.” (Make this a pun if
you’d rather.)
We had “one-of-those-feelings-
that - you - have - when - you - know
this-has-happen-before,” upon seeing
Cam and Ikey in Miss Stipe’s office
Wednesday night.
Pictures for Sights and Insights
are being taken very early in the
term—much earlier than usual. Such
a good beginning surely hints of
pleasing final results.
According to our opinion, the last
Y. P. M. (and its sequels) was par
ticularly entertaining. The phrase
ology of the various speakers was, in
general, delightful—as were the an
tics of those who served as living il
lustrations.
You: “Say, Tough Break, I hear
you failed your English re-exam’.
Is that true?”
No So Dumb: “Yea, Dr. Wil
loughby asked us to write an essay
on the ‘Result of Laziness,’ and I
sent up a blank sheet of paper.”
REASSURANCE
Why should one year bring me
More than one perfect thing?
Did ever winter herald
More than one spring?
How shall I fear the future
When I have this ?
Whatever autumn threatens
Summer gave—your kiss !
—J. Johnson.
THE SALEMITE
Self-Government Group
Welcomes the Freshmen
The freshman class of Salem Col
lege was installed into full member
ship in the Student-Self-Govern-
ment Association Thursday evening.
An impressive service was held in
Memorial Hall.
The auditorium was in darkness,
except for a light on the platform,
where an imitation fire was burning
when the freshmen entered, all
dressed in white, carrying the colors
of their respective high school.
Virginia Martin, president of the
association, told the freshmen that
during the period of probation an
effort had been made to teach them
the rules of the association and to
assist them in getting adjusted to
college life. She said that she hoped
the spirit in which the instruction
was given would be reflected in their
lives.
Symbolic of the fact that all the
love and devotion which the fresh
men had felt for their high schools
when they came to Salem was now
blended to form allegiance to their
class and to the college, they passed
in front of the fire, tossing their
high school colors into the imitation
Pledge cards then read in unison
by the freshmen were:
“LTpon signing this card, I pledge
myself to become an honorable mem
ber of the Student Self-Government
Association of Salem College; to
obey its rules and to uphold its high
est principles and to the best of my
ability to influence others to do so.”
Dr. Rondthaler spoke briefly upon
the responsibility which the fresh
men owe their high schools. He said
that they are more responsible now
than when they were still attending
high school; that they are carefully
watched by the institutions from
which they have been graduated, be
cause they interpreted those institu
tions an drepresented them.
The installation service closed
with the singing of the Alma Mater.
She was only a cigar-maker’s
daughter, but she certainly knew her
