The annual posture contest held in the Clewell basement. Mrs. Gloria Crouse, Aesthetic dancer, and two other ladies from “out-in-t( were the capable judges. After the • twelve entries had run the gauntlet of searching eyes for about ten utes, the judges finally decided that Carrie Braxton of Kinston, N. C., a member of the Junior Class, had the most correct posture. Anna Pi ton and “Frosh” Madeline Thomp son, ran the winner a close race. The trophy was a shiny new cup, the smallest and daintiest of the col lege athletic awards, which was be stowed by the Athletic Council.

Mi Presley Thomas, a prominent horse man, wlio has taken part in horse- meets all over the country, judged the contestants for their skill mounting and dismounting, for their posture while on the horses, and for their ability to make the horses walk, trot and canter. World Events Washington, D. C.: I.ast week President Hoover took Secretary Hurley, Assistant Secre tary Payne, Chief of Staff Mac- Artliur, Chief of Engineers Brown, Quartermaster General DeWitt, and Congressman Will Wood (Appro priations) to his mountain camp on the Rapidan for the purpose of cut ting army costs. Since the deficit rose last week above the $900,000,- 000 mark. Hoover felt that the U. S. must economize somehow. While he worked over the rough draft of his Memorial Day speech at Valley Forge, the men decided that cuts could be made. Hoover has not a nounced what the cuts would be. FORE HOLES! The plans of the Athletic Asso ciation are to have four practice holes of golf on the athletic field. "Already energetic people, under the direction of Prof. Charles Higgins, have began repairing the athletic field. Soon there will be “fore holes” sure enough. Lack of equip ment has hindered the popularity of golf on Salem campus, but with holes on our own field, many people should take up golf with “wim, wigor, and. little witality” next year. London, England: His Majesty George V was recent ly 21 years a king. At Windsor Castle he went to walk in the park with Queen Mary. He also knighted his doctor: Henry Linnington Mar- tyn, surgeon-apotheeary to the roy al household. Ireland-. Two weeks ago Ernest Blythe, the Irish Free State Finance Minister I 1923, announced his budget. In the second year of World Depi with formidable deficits facing the government of most countri Blythe was able to announce that the Irish budget for 1931-32 bal ances easily and that taxation yields have exceeded estimates. SUMMER GADABOUTS Summer time is play time! Where are you ])laying this summer? If you have not chosen a way to spend your time mabye from this list of gad abouts you may pick or choose a thing to do. Dr. Anscombe’s summer consists of a great big “if.” He may go to Haverford College in Pennsylvania, to a Social Workers Conference, he may go to the Virginia mountains for his vacation, or he may go to some law school, in order to prepare for a bar examination. We’d sugge.st that ht^ buy an airplane and go to all three places. Our assistant dean and !Miss Mary Duncan McAnally will add them selves to the population of New York City for a summer’s study umhia University. Tliere ar( of tlieir going to Canada Whc e iiad n e for n a, Preston will spend her t in her pet and favorite way—sw ming. F'or two months she will be Swimming Counselor at Can stone. All visitors arc weh Answering the call “go west, young lady, go west,” Elizabeth Ma spend ten delightful days at Blue Ridge. In the latter part of the mer she plans to visit “Out ir wide open spaces.” Believe it or not, Leo Wilder, tired of the usual “wrangle and jangle” of college life, will settle dov a quiet and peaceful summer at home. However, she expects to “cut up’ some Government Hospital during the winter. Nonie Riggan and Dot Thompst have threatened their acquaintances with promises of most unexpected “pop calls.” The visitors’ll get you, if you don’t watch out! Mary Norris is leaving us in a big way—she’s going abroad ! Stamp col- hictors, here’s your chance to get nine perfectly good and respectable stamps—free! Millieent Ward will be the song leader at the Blue Ridge Conference. Although her plans for the last part of the summer are vague, we have slight suspicions. Don’t you? Can you guess where the rest of the school will be? Tliere are num berless numbers of Salemites, who for a summer’s vacation will be scat tered around various college towns. If you happen to be in Greensboro, Durham, or Chapel Hill, why not observe the Golden Rule and call them up. How ’bout it? ATHLETIC COUNCIL HEADS GYMNASIUM CAMPAIGN (Continued From Page One) this opportunity and expressed them selves at length as unanimously ir favor of a renewed drive. The ma- of the discussion centered around the importance of securing a new building. A frequently expressed reason offered in viev/ of the fact that the present “hut” is a source of harassment to all concerned and in harmony with the standard set by the equipment of other departments of this college and by the Physical Education Departments of other schools. It was pointed out that many prospective students have gone else where and many present students have been forced to give up courses which they would otherwise have taken because no degree in Physical Education work is offered at Salem. Such a degree, it is believed, would be possible witli the construction of new facilities for teaching the needed courses. The present building was viewed as a menace to health on account of -•the distribution of heat, the small ness of space for players and spec tators, the condition of the floor, and the leaks in the roof. It was predicted that the installment of more extensive and beneficial equip ment for class work and extra-cur riculum activities would increase the general scholarship average, swell the number of those interested in athletics and aid greatly in the es tablishing of better and more united school spirit. A plea was also made that the Student Body continue the work started by former students who gave their interest and support the movement of athletic activities, realizing them to be of inestimable value to Salem. Russia: Until week before last discipli I Soviet ships was in the hands of committees elected by the crews. Week before last, however, by order of the Council of Labor and Defense, Russian captains became, in fact, masters of their vessels again. Salem College Is Treated In Story Miss Pierre Attractively Features Salem in Write-up “Salem College and Salem Acad- emj', founded before the birth of the republic, gave the South its first educational center,” states the head ing of an extended article on Win ston-Salem’s educational institution n the May issue of the Norfolk and iVestern Magazine. The story was written by Eleanor Pierre and is liberally illustrated with Salem scenes, including photo graphs and snapshots of the campus, buildings, and various activities about the college. The history of the College and Academy is traced from the very be ing, and leads up to present-day interests and developments.
