Heads of Organizations Talk Attractively on Purposes of Extracurricular Activities. The first Youna; People’s Meet ing; of the School Year 1931-1932 was given over to the numerous ex- tra-eurricular organizations on the Salem College Campus. A represen tative from each group endeavored and succeeded in familiarizing the Freshmen and new students, and some of the old students whose minds needed to be refreshed after the summer months, witli her partic ular organization, its purpose, and its actual accomplishments. Miss Eleanor Idol, President of the Y. W. C. A., explained that is tlirough a growing knowledge of God that one can actuality realize full and creative life. Salem Y. W C. A. offers its members the privi lege of making this life possible for everyone. Through the Y. W. C. A. one can take part in vSocial Service, World Fellowship, Student Volun teer Work, and other enterprises. The Atlilctie Association, repre sented by its president. Miss Ann ^Vleister, endeavors to stimulate physical efficiency by fostering interest in physical activities, physical efficiency alone that pro motes mental efficiency. Tlie major sports this year are Basketball, Hockey and Baseball. If some weak lings find tliese exercises too strenu ous, they may resort to swimming, hiking, or volley ball. There is real ly no excuse at Salem for being physically idle. Sights and Insights, ilie Salem College yearbook, was represented by Miss Beulah Mae Zachary, Edi tor-in-Cliief. Tlie Sights,” she said, depended on the taste and skill of the Annual staff, but the “Insights were one’s own interpretation. The “Sights” effect on the individual makes the “Insights.” Tlie Salemite, our weekly paper, is called the voice of Salem College. In it student activities are given the front page. Not only are staff members’ contributions aeeept- . ed, but the Salemite invites inspira tion of members of the student body. Free passes to the Carolina Thea- awarded each week to the girl who writes the best article and to the girl who gets the most tisements.

Students Go Wild At Bowery Ball Council Honors Frosh With Dance Last Saturday Last Saturday night, September 12, 1931, the whole school, including ors. Juniors, Sophomores, I'rosh and faculty, turned out in a body to go to the Bowery Ball, given by the Student Council in honor of the Freshman Class. The Recreation Room of Alice Clewell Dormitory was bedecked streaming rainbow - colored crepe-paper hangings, adorned with risque bar-room, and filled with blaek-faced jazzy jazz orchestra and hilarious girls and boys from “East-side, west-side All around the town.” Dancing, drinking (sweet f you please!), singing, and “bour- reois-ing” in general—these things )ceupied the entire evening. Sweet nder and pretzel sticks added much mjoyment to the occasion. Anna I’reston and Lou Brinkley served excellent bar-maids. A Grand March was called and all the funny-looking people paraded before the estimable judges. Bessie Cheatham, who was already famous for winning the prize at the Kid Party given by the Athletic Associ ation, attained further glory by ob taining a keg of cider as prize for the most Bowerish costume of the evening. Some bold Sophomores cleverly inpersonated outstanding campus leaders as a part of the entertain ment. A heavy-jowled, stern-faeed policeman raided the bar-r arrested Sarah Graves whom they found with a flask in the hip-poek of her white “ducks.” The dance ended at 10:45 p. i with the four-piece orchestra playing “Home, Sweet Home” as a farewell to the frivolity and gayety of the evening and an inducement to home sickness for the Freshmen. The Bowery Ball was generally conceded to be the biggest and best dance ever staged in Clewell Recre ation Room. Honor System Works On Salem Campus Anna Preston, President, Cites Rulas and Regulations. Explaining System There have been three Student Government meetings sii opening of school. Miss Anna President of the Student Self-Government Association, ducted each of these. At the first which was on Wed nesday night, September freshmen and new girls, and also at the third which was on Saturday, September 12, for the day students, Miss Preston explained tlie honor and the rules of temporary Student Self-Government. At the second meeting, upper classmen, on Thursday night, September 10, Miss Preston nounced that a vote would be taken Wednesday, September 23, 5S meeting at lOi-tS between Student Self-Government, Council Government, and F'aculty Gov ment. Only upper classmen will be allowed to vote for a permanent form.of government, because as Miss Preston stated, it is they who made the problem, and it is up to them to solve it. Other points particularly stressed were: 1. Violation of the smoking rule is absolutely not being tolerated. 2. Each person is her own boss. Training classes which met every night for a week formed an import ant part of Freshman Week activi ties. The examination on the hand book was given on Thursday. Sev eral new features have added inter est to the program this year. The teachers of the classes were Anna Preston, Eleanor Idol, Katherine Brown, and Mary Katherine Thorpe. Order of Scorpions Stings New Members Three New Members Are Tak en Into Honorary Order ^ith j •tide In accordanc the Constitution of the Order of the Scorpion stating that members of the Senior Class shall be invited to join within the first ten days following the opening of school, the organiza tion issued invitations to three Sen iors chosen because of their leader ship, influence, personality, scholar ship, dependability, and school spirit. In the actual choosing of these gii' these qualities were considered r only in their literal and broad inter pretations, but they were made ec Crete and tangible by application Salem life and the way in which they serve its needs as well. After chapel Wednesday morning each girl thus chosen was ap proached by a member of the Order of the Scorpion who pinned on he forget-me-not, the flower of the ganization, and invited her to become a member in full standing. The members, Eleanor Idol, Katherine Brown and Martha Harrison Davis, were instructed concerning the prin ciples of the constitution on Wednes day night and initiated on Friday evening. The services of the Order of the (Continued on Page Three.) Courtroom Filled to Capacity As Miss Freshman Is Tried Personnel Department To Aid New Students Drs. Woodhouse and Gordon To Clear Problems For Individuals and Groups One of the interesting features of Salem life this year is the establish ment of a Personnel Office, growing out of an increasing interest and constantly growing number of tivities related to the personal prob lems, vocational and otherwise, of students during the past few years. One major need of women’s col leges in recent years has been in the field of guidance, and Salem’s solu tion of this problem is said to be ir line with the policies of leading col leges throughout the nation, though the development is distinctly young in southern women’s colleges. Miss Covington, Personnel Direc tor, has been making an intensii studv over a period of several yea leading up to the development of this service to Salem students. She spent the summer months in New York City jointly with other Personnel workers from throughout the nation in a study of the problems and meth ods of guidance for women. For students in Salem the Person nel office does not supplant any of the existing agencies for guidance, but serves as a clearing house or co ordinating agency in their relations with students. The full benefits of the service are open to all Salem College students, though it is anticipated that certain times during the year will be especially important to certain class groups, such as the beginning of the year for freshmen and the major se lecting period for sophomores. Vo cational information is to be made available in a much more extensive way than ever before, both Di Woodhouse and Dr. Gordon being employed each for a period of si: weeks to assist in the work. The policy announced by the Di rector is to invite the student t (Continued on Page Three.) Y. W. C. A. Hostess On Sunday, Sept. 13 Tea Vespers, and Candy Pull Program for Day Last Sunday the Y. W. C. A. tried hard to make the Freshmen forget their home towns by substituting a Salem Sunday here; and it was cessful, too, even though the date of the 13th does suggest a slight handi- The social committee, Edith Leake, Daisy Litz, Louise Brinkley, Dorothy Heidenreich, and Beatrice Hyde, had charge of a tea in afternoon which was held in recreation room of Louisa Bitting Building. Yellow and black, colors that the class of 1935 will soon its own, were used as the color scheme. Although the honorees ■ hardly recognizable in clothes of such a contrast to those of the night before, namely the Bowery Ball, the big sisters prevented any embarrass ing moments. The quiet of tlie evening was giv en to more serious thouglit at the Vesper service at 6:30 o’clock. A talk was made by Eleanor Idol, President of the Y. W. C. A., in which she extended a welcome to the I'reshmen and new girls in behalf of the Y. W. C. A. She challenged them all to a quest in the form of adventure for this year, a search for happiness. ‘This business of finding joy in she said, “is not a pastime to be indulged in leisure hours, but lething we can be seeking all the E, in work and play. If we can think that school is a help towards finding this joy we will realize that e more we get out of school, the Dre we get out of life.” The day was brought to a merry close at the candy pull in Alice Clewell Recreation Room. The candy was pulled in a frenzy, and in spite of allowing itself to be draped around the room as general decora- proved to be thoroughly eatable and stimulating for sweet dreams. WINNERS OF PASSES The management of The Carolina Tlieatre announces with pleasure the winners of this week’s complimentary passes: Miss Mildred Wolfe of the Editorial Staff of The Sa lemite and Miss Mary Cather ine Siewers, of the Advertising staff of The Salemite. The win ners are chosen weekly accord ing to their ability and work on The Salemite. Most Spectacular Trial of the Year Draws Huge Crowd to the Scene of Trial. At 6:30 o’clock September 18, 1931, the long waited-for trial of Miss Freshman Class from High School North America began, as Judge Calder in flowing robes swept into the crowded courtroom of Alice Clewell Building to the sonorous call of “Hear ye! Hear ye!” Jurors Cain, Greaves, Sample, Hadley, Stevenson, and Billingham filed to their seats, serious at facing their unwelcome duty of deciding the fate of such a cliarming defendant. Miss Class received the following statement on F'riday morning: WARRANT Issued this eighteenth day of September, 1931.

These rules are as follows: September 18, 1931.

The children came bouncing in with dolls and dogs to be divided groups to indulge in the simple sport of Going to Jerusalem. A fireman’ hat was awarded to Miss Bessie Cheatham for the greatest agility chewing strings for the candy prize at the end, and cutting out little paper pigs. Courtland Preston showed the greatest speed in putting on the varied array of garments found in a week-end bag, one which was given each contestant.

After Popsicles were served, the children were sent merrily home bed.
