spelled with an “II.” It ii
usual name, and she is an unusual
girl. She is the first person to grab
(pardon her manners) the morning
papers, and she keeps her room sup
plied with magazines. She is quite
generous, and will probably let you
borrow some. Ghilan has ambitions,
more or less secret, to play the stock
market.
You think this little girl is sweet
ooking? She would look even
.weeter if you would tell her so. Ad-
iress her politely, “Miss Horton,”
uid she will smilingly say, “Call me
■iarah.” Scientifically she cooks and
,ews, while as a side line she is busi
ness manager for the Salernite. By
her side is Susan Calder.
‘Susan and Sarah” together like
‘ham and eggs” or “W'heeler and
Woolsey.” As Juniors they are kind
and likeable big sisters, but last year
as Sophs they were as mean as whizz.
Susan is everybody’s right-hand man,
or left-hand if you need that. If
Susie wasn’t here, the bottom would
drop out.
Don’t you know' that girl? Gosh,
you’re ignorant. It is Nina Way
Crcdle, President of the Athletic As-
ociation. Note the square, determined
chin with its air of, “Complete the
plans for the athletic grounds, and
build a new gym, or tear dov-- "'■-
old church clock.” Though Nina
VV'ay is not inclined to be destructive,
she knows what she wants and goes
after it. She can speak French and
])lay basketball, tell jokes and laugh
t contagious laugh you ever
heard. Stop that making funny
;'CS at Miss Credle.
(Pause while the Freshman Class
gives fifteen Rabs for Huntington.)
That was pitched a little high, but
u will learn by the end of the
hockey season. I'see that you know
Miss Huntington, so she needs
introduction. She is the president of
those darling .Juniors who have treat
ed you like respectable college girls.
In 'athletics her long, lanky limbs
help her to flash across the field
and dash across the court until it is a

she has a lazy drawl that reminds a
Yankee of cotton fields and sorghum.
Besides that, she can beat a mean pan
of fudge.
Law, chile, that girl yondah cake-
walkin’ up the street is Miss Marga
ret MeClean, most generally called
son. The extra year means an extra
degree at the end of their names-
not failure slips, smarty. If y
have any talent that you would like
to display, tactfully tell Margaret
so she will put you on the Y. W. pro
grams. She is associate editor of
the Salernite and very dependable.
In her lovely pink room she frequent
ly entertains her neighbors with
boxes of fried ehicKen and beaten
in these parts by the name of Bu.shy.
Last year at May Day she and I.ib
Hatch adorned their faces with shoe
blacking and strutted the fanciest
dancing that this institution ever be
held. Seems like she can’t get over it.
When the Sophomores started their
dirty work, you heard from her
because she is the president of th,at
erful class of nip-and-tuckers.
I’d better bow and scrape !
'o inspire you to studious en
deavor and to make you realize that
hard work gets you some place (don’t
ask me where), I direct your atten

Louise Mickey would have been the
head of almost everything if she had
accepted any offices. She had
much to do that all she has time foi
is a few chairmanships and a place
on Sights and Insights staff. E'

above the college. If you don’t know

Mary Louise, call both of them

Children, I cannot stand here all

boyish damsel with the gorgeous
tan is Jo Walker, Vice-President of
the Athletic Association and assistant
at the pool. That other tall girl gives
finger waves like a professional and
ipeaks five languages, including
math. Her name is Dorothy Heid-
enreich, another big bug
Salernite staff and president of three
or four clubs.
Mary I.illian white la petite made
moiselle avec les cheveux hrunes, is
bolder of the French medal. The
two chief ad-getters are Mary Sample
of the Salernite and Ruth Crouse of
Sights and Insights. W^ateh them de

Honestly, I must be going, even
if the parade is still passing. Ask
Broadns Staley to strike up a pro
cessional, and attach yourselves to
the end of the line, singing, “Strong
are thy walls, O Salem.
“BELLS”
When we return to Salem, there
one thing we most surely come back
)-bells, bells, and bells. F'or many of
s the school bell has a familiar ring
w'hich welcomes us, and yet which
foretells routine hours ahead. To the
new'comers in our midst the bell has
a strange ring, which leaves them
vaguely perplexed.
Though the school bell may al
ways sound exactly the same to
strangers passing by, it has various
intonations and meanings for Salem
students. When we are on a twelve
o’clock class and are hungry as can
be, we feel that the bell never will
ring. W'hen we have just waked up,
however, and see our Big Ben points
to five minutes of seven, we lie still
nd bear W'ith unwilling ears the
minutes tick hurriedly by.
The big school bell is by no means
s only bell at Salem. Besides light
bells, house phones, telephones, and
alarm clocks, there is the old church
lock, whose silvery ring is heard
;very quarter of an hour, and has
been heard thus for many, many
cent magazines we have
noticed the advertisement of alarm
•locks which whisper first and then
shout. Unfortunately, all of the Big
Bens and I.ittlc Bens at Salem shout
shrilly from the very- beginning. Per
haps some of the F'reshmen w'ill intro-
Salem these delightful new
fangled clocks.
We almost forgot one notable time
piece on our campus—the Grand
father clock in the Senior building.
That, so far as W'c know', is the only
clock at .Salem with chimes.
From now' on every hour, and many
times during some hours, w'e will
Iiear bell.s—class bells, lunch bells,
and Academy bells; startling alarm
clocks, persistent house phones, and
welcome telephone rings; every con
ceivable kind of bell. W^e have left
the peace and quiet of home, and are
entering the land of bells.
