MRS. CHASE GOING WOODHOUSE SPEAKS AT EXPANDED CHAPEL clippings of all types. Also in this field is the home economies depart ment which tests the products of ad vertisements. In the literary line is the position of the review editor, who sees that every book published by her house is got mto the hands of a capable critic who is able to review it correctly. She is the go-between for the authors and their publishers, this position is much easier to secure than a job on large papers or magazines. In concluding her speech.

A TRUSTEE BECOMES INSPIRED Here is just a little poem that a Salem girl or girls inspired in one of our worthy trustees. A reporter found it posted on a bulletin board—it is written in an eminent trustee’s hand writing, and we think it deserves to be in print: “Hop in your airplane all red and And come to see us every night.

After the program, delicious re freshments were served by the hos- Members who attended the meet ing were: Misses Virginia Langley, Sarah Graves, Dorothy Heidenreich, Margaret Johnson, Pauline Setzer, Mary Miller, and the hostesses, Miss es Phillips and Sims. FORMER SALEM Y. W. C. A. PRESIDENT SPEAKS AT VESPERS the first Junior College class was graduated with twelve members. Lees McRae is a member of the North Carolina Association of Junior Col leges and of the American Association The college is housed in three mod ern stone buildings—an administra tion building and two girls’ dormi tories. These building are named for the states which the college serves. North Carolina, Virginia, and Ten nessee. The boys occupy a temporary wooden building across the river. The purpose of Lees McRae is to build Christian character and to train for the art of living. This purpose is carried out in the life of the students and the courses offered. The students do all of the work at the school, and thus many are en abled to pay their expenses. The girls set the tables, wash the dishes, peel vegetables, cook, and do the housekeeping. They act as assistant nurses and as office girls. The boys work on the poultry farm, dairy farm, bird farm, and cabbage and potato farm. They grind grain at their mill, run a saw mill, and build roads and buildings. Last year a boy paid all of his expenses except four dollars by his In the summer the school is dressed up for a summer hotel, and is called Pinnacle Inn. Since girls and boys do all the work, they are thus cared for during the summer and earn some of their expenses for the school year. A staff of eighteen workers teach the boj's and girls and supervise their self-help activities. Class room work includes the regulation state curri culum, and extra-curricular activities are football, basketball, literary, so cieties, and debating and oratorical contests. Miss Turlington described the boys and girls who come to school at Lees McRae as normal, healthy, fun- loving boys and girls, such as you find in a high school and Junior College in any county. Some students come from the best homes in the South land, while others come from homes of utter ignorance. Some come froi homes with high standards, while others come from communities where in every house either some one has committed murder or some one ha; been murdered. All the students are striving to make the most of theii opportunities and to do something more than their parents have been able to accomplish. The results of the work prove that every sacrifice that has been made worth while. Of course, some st dents fail at Lees McRae as they do in all schools. But many others go out as useful Christians. It is ^ derful to see unpromising children come to school and blossom out be fore one’s very eyes. The religious activities of the school are carried on by a special worker. Young people’s meeting, which is held every Sunday night, is not compulsory, but about ninety-five per cent of the students attend. Many students come under Christian influence for the first time at Lees McRae. Miss Turlington stated that West ern North Carolina has not been hit by the financial depression as has oth er parts of the state. The school has plenty of apples, cabbages, and po tatoes. Often tuition is paid in pro duce. But a school has to have money to run. Lees McRae was formerly dependent on ten thousand dollars over and above the endowment and other regular gifts. Last year, al though the gifts were cut to five thousand six ihundred dollars, the school remained open and did not go in debt. It is the policy of Lees McRae never to go in debt. This year the gifts have been cut to two thousand six hundred dollars. Sala ries have been cut, and teachers have put money back into the work. Thus far the school has been able to run, but now fifty children are dependent on fifty dollar scholarships to put them through the year. Lees McRae believes that friends will be found who will give of their means so that these boys and girls may lose the opportunity of making of themselves Christian citizens. Lees McRae needs giving friends. It also needs praying friends—friends who will pray that means may be found to carry on the work, and that physical and spiritual strength may be given to the workers as they guide those lives which God has intrusted to their care. The Vesper service closed with the appropriate hymn, “O Master, Let Me Waly With Thee,” and the “Y” Watchword. Miss Turlington’s straightforward, icere, heartfelt talk deeply im pressed every one who heard her. One knew that she truly loved the work and that she has sacrificed to carry it forward. With Miss Turlington was Miss Margaret Tufts, daughter of the founder of the Association, and sister of the acting President and Business Manager of it. Miss Tufts graduated from Agnes Scott and is now teaching English at Lees McRae. SALEM CELEBRATES FOUNDER’S DAY Class. The large banquet table in the center of the dining hall was beautifully appointed with decorations in Salem colors and bowls of spring flowers. Around the table the sev enty-five guests found their places by :ards bearing the gold Salem seal. Miss Mary Mitchell Norman, President of the Senior Class, presided /er the dinner and introduced each ustee by a clever jingle. According I tradition, the trustees were wel comed by “The Trustee Song,” sung loudly and sincerely by all the stu- Miss Mary Virginia Pendergraph revealed the various ideas for im proving Salem which students had placed in the suggestion boxes. She in formed the trustees that there were ninety-five requests for a new gym nasium. Other requests varied from chocolate pie to a lecture course, in cluding suggestions for a new dining room, radios, a brick walk, and the redecoration of Alice Clewell Build ing. A three-course dinner was served, during which toasts were made to the trustees. Immediately afterwards cof fee was served in the recreation room of Louisa Bitting Building. This concluded the participation of the student body in the events of Salem Day, which in 1932 was a red letter day. ALUMNAE MEETING CONCLUDES SALEM DAY the great service which has been and should continue to be rendered by the Living Endowment Found. At the conclusion of Dr. Rondthaler’s re marks a delightful social hour was held during which refreshments were served by recent graduates of the col lege.
