Ivy Planting At Salem
Ivy Planted At Lizora
Hanes Practice House
Miss Alice Stough, President
of Seniors, Leads
Ceremony
Wednesday morning at eleven
clock, the senior class left its first
memorial in the ivy which it planted
by the side of Lizora Hanes Prac
tice House. Miss Alice Stough, pres
ident of the class, was in charge of
the ceremony.
After a short announcement of the
program in Memorial Hall, the
lors, led by Miss Cokey Preston, chief
marshal, and followed by other mar
shals, student body and faculty, ad
journed to the front of the Practice
House. Processional was played by
Mr. Broadus Staley. Preceding the
singing of “Fairest Lord Jesus”, Miss
Zina Vologodsky gave the invocation.
Miss Kathleen Adkins, class poet,
then read the Ivy Day poem:
IVY DAY POEM
Come, join with us today.
We give ivy to Salem.
May it grow, we pray.
And cling closer to Salem.
Come, join with us today.
We give love to Salem.
May it grow, we pray,
And cling closer to Salem.
Then the Ivy Day Oration was giv
en by the class president. T1
tion, in part, follows:
IVY DAY ORATION
When ivy is planted at the base of
a building, and as it grows, it clings
to the walls of that building by means
of aerial roots or claspers. The plant
receives its nourishment from the soil
where its main roots find the founda
tion, but the bulk of the vine finds
its support by clinging to the walls of
the building. If these walls are solid
and therefore strong, the ivy which
grows upward and spreads outward,
not only makes the building more
beautiful, but also protects the struct
ure from dryness and from the corros
ive force of the atmosphere. However,
if the walls are weak, and crumble and
fall, the ivy still clings, and falls with
the walls and spreads over the
Thus ivy, which we are planting
today and which is to grow on the
beautiful Lizora Fortune Hanes Prac
tice House, may symbolize our love
for, our dependence upon, and oi
reliance on Salem College in our spii
itual, social, and cultural lives. The
first season in the growth of the
young plant may represent our first
contact with Salem and our subse-

Coronation of May Queen
Glamorous Event on
Historic Sylvan
Campus
Winston-Salem, N. C.—Every tour
ist may look at a queen if he is in
the vicinity of Salem College on the
first Saturday in May. On that day
is held the annual May Day festival,
when the queen of the college, per
sonification of Southern beauty,
charm, brilliance, poise, and culture,
ascends her throne.
best to begin your visit to
Salem just where the school itself
began—in the Sister’s House, built
in' 1772. The mellow red brick walls
brocaded with ivy, the worn stone
steps with their iron railings, and
the wooden shutters remind us that
behind the recessed, small-paned
windows little girls 'were fa(shi6|n-
ing their quaint samplers and learn
ing how to be Southern gentlewomen
when Cornwallis’ soldiers were march
ing by.
Behind the long row of buildings
which form Salem’s face to the world
lies the campus. And what a cam
pus! The lofty, white-pillared class
icism of Main Hall. The old Academy.
The Sister’s House. The dormitories.
Fountains and courts and a lily pool.

We go straight down, down,
down to real woods and a live brook—
and across it. Then we look behind us
to the May Queen’s court—a perfect
out-of-doors stage with a carpet of
blue periwinkles and a backdrop of
ancient trees. Fairies, elves, gnomes,
Peter Pan and his pipes do not seem
like actors in such a setting.
i knows what the year’s May
Day theme will be until the great day
itself, but it is always one that char
acterizes the spirit of the school.
There is soft, out-of-the-trees and out
of-the-air music, beautiful costumes

1 her high throne, the queen.
After the ceremony, you are in
vited to visit the buildings—the new
Academy across the hill, the labora
tories, , the dining-ihall, jtjhe Jibrary
with its stained-glass windows and its
rare treasure of old books. This old
school, steeped in the traditions of
a century and a half, is worth a visit
at any time—but make it on May
Day if you can.
