Here we are . . .
back in the midst
of many traditions
and ivy-covered
walls
Leaving behind
the enchantment of
soft summer nights
and misty moons,
we begin traveling the
rocky, winding paths
searching for wisdom
to guide our . . .
future footsteps. . . .
But not sadly, . . ■
for in the strength . . .
of Salem’s walls . . .
there is peace
and as we resume
our tasks ....
our hearts whisper
“We are glad to . . .
be back home!”
Bureau Sitters
Where has that old gang gone.^
Gone are all the old familiar faces
that went through school with us
yet never sat on class or anything
for that matter, but preferred the
bureau or an occasional window-sill.
The Senior “High Particulars”
graduated from Salem in the spring
quite as triumphantly as they grad
uated several years ago from Caro
lina, Duke, State or Davidson, and
the few who flunked out at being
Salemites once have dropped back
on their luck again with new seniors
or Juniors or sophs as sponsors.
(There is one Freshman here who
was a Senior last year, and I be
lieve he looks more content than
ever. Fiel Fie! Broad hint—He’s
using the bureau with a perky
blonde in A. C. B.)
Practically all of last year’s Soph
boys are back. Vacation seems to
have agreed v/ith tliem or maybe that
docile, self-elfacing look is due to
the new frames which are in most
cases decidedly becoming. (But
consider Hampton! He is the lead
er of the lost who are few but
cherished. Grieve, ye frosh, that
you shall never see the dear chap
save in Jthe flesh. Pictures and
snaps are so much more lovable than
their subjects that male vices seem
actually attractive when they are
flattened out behind the glass of a
frame. Who will supply the crying
need for a new Hampton.?)
Some of the incoming Jr. boys
have become accustomed, after two
years, to bureau-sitting, but a hand
some and alluring few are being
initiated this year. (Reference:
Society Hall) But take warning,
men and boys of Salem Female
Academy and College the Juniors
are fickle women and the chief pest
of the bureau sitter is a fiekle wom
an. She makes his life miserable by
forced and frequent trips from the
top of the dresser to the bottom of
the drawer and back again; and to
make matters worse tlie unfortunate
boy’s room-mate is usually an earn
est soul who sits calmly on the same
bureau all four years and smiles
his “look at the little monkey”
smiles at his less blessed brother.
There are always a few desirable
men who are versatile enough in
various rooms at one and the same
time, but they are never alone in
their vigil for their type requires
male compannionship on bureaus as
invariably as it requires female com
pany in autos, in movies, and in
general.
Don’t be ashamed, Freshmen, to
enter your favorite in this endurance
contest. He may win out, you I
know it all depends on your |
patience and clever handling. These
boys need attention and gentle
management, but they are worth the
framing cost. Display your best and
newest. Someone may even want a
copy, and, consequently will relieve
you of writing that letter you have
owed him so long.
If you haven’t a little bureau-
sitter in your home, sign on some
ddtted line somewhere, and send
off for yours today.
I gottamine fixed already.
From an Alumna
Tho’ from thee our paths mtiy sever
And we distant roam.
Still abides the memory ever,
Of our college home.
Mere words seem hopelessly in
effective in expressing the feelings
tliat lie nearest the heart’s of all
Alumnae as we think of the opening
days at Salem. As young freshmen
we, too, smiled dubiously when up
perclassmen boasted the place which
we looked upon then, as a prison
which kept )us from unre.':^rieted
freedom of action and loved ones at
It takes only a short time for one
at Salem to be conscious tihat a
change is taking place in one’s heart
as well as one’s mind. One cannot
•emain at Salem for any length of
time, no matter how short, without
falling a victim of her spell wrought
with time honored customs and treas
ured traditions. Whatever has been
said, has all been said before by
persons who have graduated, for
it is with the realization that one’s
days at Salem are over that the
true depths of such statements are
understood.
It seems hardly possible to make
anyone save Alumnae realize what a
tremendous ache one has in one’s
heart at this time of the year. Four
years association with friends that
one has learned to love and respect,
borken off to a ‘degree by separa
tion causes heart ache enough; and,
along with this, the realization that
the college can keep running with
out the recent Senior Class and can,
in time, almost forget it, furnishes
further cause for the sensations that
come to every Alumna in September.
The advice tendered by “old”
alumnae to Freshmen and Upper
classmen is ever the same, “Make
good of your four years.” This
comes from sincere hearts, which
know what not going back to Salem
really means. No happier years can
be had than the four each Alumna
has experienced there. May' the
year 1930-31 be most successful in
presenting many more loyal Siale-
mites to the already, large circle.
