Circulation Mgr Grace Brown THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY We communicate happiness to others not often by great acts of devotion and self-sac rifice, but by the absence of fault-finding and censure, by being ready to sympathize with their notions and feelings, instead of forcing them to sym pathize with ours. —James Freeman Clarke. Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and the angels know of us. —Thomas Paine. What makes life dreary is w'ant of motive. —George Eliot. CUCKOO! Everything this past week has seemed to be carried through under the handicap of a general “hang over” from the Christmas vacation. Even the Salemite has felt its evil influence and has shrunken to half its usual size as the result. Y little as we are, there should be few golden drops floating around somewhere in these half-pint pages. You know the old saying about the early Bird catching the worm? Of course, you all do, but perhaps you did not know that by the use of an ancient Cuban mathematical theorem the conclusion has been reached that Early Bird who suffers from a hangover can see the worm—there’s :ally no use in being early in that ise. The point to this, believe it : not, sticks in the fact that the sooner the over-lapping influence of the past few weeks are gotten rid of, much the better. Worms and ex- is are about equally easy to di gest and even the Early Bird wishes he had been a little earlier about e things. It’s the same old idea 'Do your Christmas Shopping Early,” and getting the proper amount of sleep and fresh air— (That’s a misplaced ending—those last thoughts belong in an article about an efficiency cup, but we think they make a swell period.) There are only a few people who 1 not dread examinations. These happy ones have learned the secret arly preparation and its grati fying result. There are many who come back with the reply that ever-impending problems of daily preparations makes a review at this stage, impossible. These would be amazed to discover how much ground could be covered from on by means of a fifteen or twenty minute review before begin ning a new lesson. When one really faces the situation squarely, the ab surdity of going through this brain- twisting process known as “cram ming,” is evident, and methods of improvement for a better adjustment of time and eifort are not obscure. At any rate there shouldn’t be any unemployment question floating around the campus the next weeks for there is no ether in air—“ether” we study or flunk! Now is the time to reach out and grab opportunity while it fumbles with the knocker. Get rid of these Christ- mas and New Year hangovers and be one of those birds who have the sleepy worms to crawl right up, en twine themselves around the bill— in this case personality is not used— it’s hard work! SIMPLY THOUGHTS Hope everybody is “welcoming each rebuff, that turns earth’s smoothness rough”—for there are lots to be made welcome right now. . . . Salem is like a face without a Rose with both Miss Stipe and Miss Smith among those missing—here’s ■wishing them a speedy recovery . . . Christmas hangovers are much in evidence—and it’s fun to look for Christmas presents proudly blazing forth on every hand (No, no, Rollo, I don’t necessarily refer to engage ment rings) ... It saddens me to hear of Squat Caldwell’s having tak en up bootlegging during the holi days—she used to be such a fine, up right character ... I don’t know f anything that can look as purely chaste as snow on the first day—or 'ilely foul as snow on the twenty- firset . . . Miss Katherine J. Rig an—a Southren Pines girl who has lade good in our fair city . . . How many of you burnt your Mo- in candles on Christmas Eve?— I did . . . Did you ever watch people’s expressions when they are in the library studying—or in the dining room eating? It’s great sport . . . But my favorite sport on classes is swinging on electric light cords—in fancy understand. It’s fun back and forth across the room— but round and round is best of all .'I know a woman who doesn’t smile—she bares her teeth ... If Woodrow Wilson had had to sit in the back of a class and gaze for an hour at people’s would-be coiffures, he’d have changed his favorite poem to “It’s th epeople behind that I jar.” ... I learned a snappy come-back during the holidays—“If the Lord loved a liar, you’d have a front seat in Heaven”—O yes, I iaj- prove my mind even during vaca tions . . . Overheard from a group headed up town—-“Is my face on straight?” Ah, me, what’s become of nature’s roses tliat used to bloou on damsel’s cheeks? . . If Jinks comes, can Gooch be far behind? . I wish Miss Fuller wouldn’t weg her dress with buttons on the sleevei to class—just when I get her for tune almost told, she mov-es and I {Continued on Page Four) The Reynolds’ Grill For the very best in food SALEM GIRLS Let me repair your shoes Z.
