From the time of your arrival, we want you to feel that you are a member of the Student Self-Govern- ment Association, with a very defi nite personal obligation which is re sponsible for upholding the high standards and ideals which Salem has always possessed. Essentially based on individual honor, our suc cess depends entirely upon the co operation of EVERY MEMBER of the student body. In welcoming you to Salem, therefore, we ask for your loyalty and support so that may make this year a better one than Salem has ever known. There will be many a proud heart back home thinking of those who will be standing at the portals for the first time ^omorroiw in their caps and gowns. Lenora Riggan has requested that she be allowed to wear a badge. It seems that Miss Riggan resents being taken for a freshman 3 many times in one day. It is pleasant after all, to get back and see the old familiar faces and places. Our hearts swell with pride whenever we think of the beautiful new buildings which now n our campus. Duke University has nothing on us! We wonder if the old night club spirit of Junior Hall (that y,as) will invade the walls of the Louisa Bittings Dormitory ... or wheth- he occupants will be so awed by their new surroundings that they wear an expression which might be mistaken for Senior Dignity. Before proceeding any farther, j wish to extend to the new Acad emy on the hill, our heartiest wishes a most happy and successful in their lovely home. We as- you that we are as proud of Salem Academy as you are, and watch with interest your undertak ings and accomplishments. ANNOUNCEMENTS Opening exercises of both Salem College end Salem Ajcademy will be held in Memorial Hall beginning ith the ringing of the old college bell Thursday morning at 11 o’clock. Conforming to time-honored tra dition the new Senior Class wearing their caps and gowns will entw singing “Standing at the Portal, of the opening year.” The exercises are brief, though impress-ive and enable the first class for the new school year to meet on time with the ring-ing of the 11 o’clock bell. The special Guest of Honor this year is Professor Clarence E. Cle- well, a member of the Faculty and Administrative Staff of the. Univer sity of Pennsylvania. Mr. Clewell is the oldest son of the late Presi dent and Mrs. John Clewell, for 25 years was the Head of Salem Academy and College, preceding the present Administration. Mr. Clewell is a graduate engineer and holds the honored position of Head of the Per sonnel and Placement Department of the University of Pennsylv I Do Not Choose to Run Being a freshman is an interest- g as well as a hazardous experi- ce. So much of what a person does and says the first year of her College life determines that person’s status for the remaining years of eollegd activity. Because of this iportant fact, everyone is par ticularly anxious that no member of the present freshmen class will make the pitful m'istakes made by former freshmen and that this class will be outstanding in its ability to fit in with college life. For these rea- 1, a few rules have been formu lated, by which freshmen should go order to be unusual. Do Not Be Timid. Timidity is a great handicap. Many college careers have been ruined in the beginning by freshmen timidity. Stalk around the Campus ‘ F you owned it! Demand At tention—And you’ll certainly get at tention (of what kind, I can not say). Don’t ask students, especial ly sophomores, in a meek tone, 'Please show me where the Post OtBce is.” Say instead, in a most commanding manner, “Show me im mediately, if not sooner, where tlie Post Office is.” In this manner, will soon realize the aspiration of “Freshmanhood,” namely the cre- tion of a name for yourselves. Faculty members are people of ■hom it is not wise to .stand in fear. If during Registration, or even later 'le year, the Registrar or some other faculty member tries to get you to take a course you do not wish take, Yiddish or Hydrophobia for instance, do not say, “Yes M’am, sure you’re rigilit.” In#ead ‘Madam, I do not choose to take that course and that course I will not take.” Always uphold your freshman dignity and authoKity before In structors and you’ll produce an im pression which wil, doubtlc be lastdng. II Don’t Give Over To Upper classmen and Sophomores: The observance of this ruk. is especially important. Always bear ' in mind that you, only last year, were possessors of all the privileges due high school upper-classmen. Let us take for instance. Sophomore week and one of you enter the Cam pus Living Room. There Is only one vacant chair and you start for it, at the same time, an older s dent, let us say a sophomore goes for the same chair. Quicken yoi steps and gain possession of the coveted seat. If told to give up your seat, act as if you hear no>thing or say “It shall be a ease of the survival of the fittest.” How long before you are unseated will depend on the strength of your opponent and the number of her Cohort- Classmen present. Upper-Classmen and Sophomores are more or less cowardly. If it is difficult to believe this statement, (Continued on Page Four) W elcome Girls!
