OUTSTANDING SALEM
GIRLS PREDICT FOR

To Success
On being requested to honor the
public with their views on the de
pression and the prospects of pros
perity or bank failure in 1932, many
outstanding girls on the campus re
vealed their innermost secrets when
they gave views and opinions, many
of which were entirely unexpected
and uncalled for. (That sentence

Miss Arlee Curlee believes that

said, “He must have a job. I can
stand this school racket no longer.”

that 1932 will mark the highest rec

circulation department. Don’t wor-

newspaper carriers.

remind her grandchildren of the
exigencies of 1931, but here’s her

1932 Prosperity
1 equals straight
9 equals round
3 equals corner
2 equals to
prosperity equals prosperity (Things
equal to each other are equal to each
other).
Figure it out—it’ll do you good.
Every college girl will be greatly
benefited by the financial condition
of Miss Gracie Lawrence. The money
which the college has been supplying
her to run the dormitories has been
on a constant decrease. She sadly
announced that no more paper on

and that no lights were to be burned
