THE SALEMITE
Saturday, October 31, 1931.
SIP€ICTILIieiliir
ON TO HARRISONBURG
About six o’clock Friday morning
October 29, there was a clanging of
bells and hurrying hoofbeats of
steeds for the early morning ride
of the gay equestriennes, as
Salem College hockey troop left
town for battlements at Harrison
burg.
Tliese steeds owned and tri
by Miss Minnie Atkinson wer
thoroughbreds and the “cream of the
croj).” They answer the nami
"Shorty” Biles, Hazel Bradford,
Anne Meister, Virginia Langley
Emily Mickey, “Jo” Walker, “Nu-
by” Aitchinson, Alice Stough and
Susan Calder.
Transportation was furnished by
Miss Atkinson, Maude Hutchinson
and Anne Meister.
The two hundred and forty mile
drive in itself was worth the four
week’s practice. The route taken
was tlirougli the Shennadoah Valley
by way of North Carolina, Virginia,
and Washington. The towns passed
through were Martinsville, Va., Ro
anoke, Va., Staunton, Va., and
Natural ]5ridge.
The troop arrived around
o’clock Friday afternoon; were land
ed and lodged. The battles (as all
good battles are) were uncertain as
to the date and thus the exact infor
mation has not yet been received.
This meeting was an all sports oc
casion, attended by representatives
from William and Mary, Sweet
Briar, Mary Baldwin, Virginia
State Teachers’ College, Fredericks
burg, Randolph - Macon, George
Washington University, West Hamp
ton and Hollins.
FINDING OURSELVES IS
VESPER TOPIC
one can see that all people are fun
damentally alike and one can find
man’s whole experience related i
books. For that reason books ar
vital—they show life itself.
Another way of finding oneself i
through knowing Personalities. Thi
personality may be that of a teacher
or of another student. “Personality
influence helps us to find others who
respond to us and in some sense
In order to find oneself it
necessary to develop a Poi
of Perception, so that one may
see through things, even to finding
significance in trivialities. Often
sees only a mass of faces in a crowd
but a sense of perception may help
one to see a real depth of feeling in
a face. One may find hopelessness,
or futility, or happiness where one
least expects it, if a sense of per
ception is developed.
Closely allied to Perception is the
Power of Enjoying Things. The life
of everyone was meant to bring hap
piness. There are many ways of
enjoying things. One way is through
the sense of sight or hearing by means
of which one may enjoy certain
odors and sounds or see beautiful
colors. A sunset would lose all
significance if one could not see the
flame and gold of what the earth
is doing to herself.
Everyone in the world is meant to
do something. It is through abilities,
whether one leads or helps in servii
that one may find joy and find or
self. A leader, as well as a helpf
must do what is right. Although all
cannot lead, everyone can i
In finding oneself one m
a Purpose in I.ife, find something
that is bigger than oneself. Every
one must find some reason for living,
and something on which to lean. The
biggest thing to hitch on to is to
God.
William B. Yeats has written a
poem which when interpreted as
Miss Lilly has, gives this thought:
“The years like great oxen tread
the world, and much is broken by
tlieir passing feet. Yet something
remains, and that something can be
nothing but oneself wliich has been
developed by something bigger than
oneself —God.”

SALEM OF YEAR 1781 IS
DEPICTED
their way from Virginia to South
Carolina. The season was a quiet
one after the soldiers had left, dis
turbed only by the political quarrels
between, the Whigs and the Tories.
Much excitement was furnished
in October by the stealing of a cab
bage head stolen by a boy of sixteen.
He was called up before the Church
Board, which pointed out gravely
what he had done. As a punishment,
he was not allowed to attend the
communion services for a month be
cause he had attended them without
truly repenting. 'Hie man that
responsible for the boy’s deed
forced to eat and live alone for a
month in real exile, for one of the
unpardonable sins was “to put s
body else up to doing wrong.”
In this month too, plans had to
be made for feeding and lodging the
General Assembly that was to be
held in November. On October 30,
they heard of tlie victory at York-
town, hut they did not realize that
the war was really over. The month
closed with tlie death of the' beloved
Doctor. This left the community
without any doctor whatsoever

and Bishop Graf, who knew little
about medicine.
“We praise these sturdy ancestors
of ours, and boast of their fortitude
and industry,” Miss Fries sai
closing, “but I believe we had rather
live in 1931, instead of 1781!”
