COMPILER OF FAMILY ALBUM
MERITS PRAISE
For weeks before the alumnae week-end you probably saw
a girl hurrying and scurrying around, hunting up family trees,
old photographs, or Salem annuals of past years. Or you may
have seen her at a table in the library cutting holes in card
board or pasting pictures around. This girl was Libby Jerome,
assistant librarian; and it was makiiig the Salem Album that
kept her so busy. Libby ferreted out the daughters of Salem
Alumnae who are in school here now, and procured pictures of
both. This took plenty of time, but it was only the beginning!
After all the pictures of daughters, mothers, and even grand-or
gi'eat-grandmothers, were laid in a pile beside her, Libby had
to make an alburn to put them in. The one she made, which is
now in the library, is a skilful imitation of an old family album
decorated with the fine curliques that were typical of the era
it i-epresents. Each page contains about five pictures. This
album is a most attractive addition to our library.
The alumnae, many of whose daughters are now in Salem,
were especially interested in it, and greatly praised Miss Jer
ome’s work. We hope Libby Jerome is as proud of her work
as we are! *
Caroline Diehl, junior member
of the editorial staff, is editor of
the Saleinite this week. In fol
lowing weeks other juniors on
the staff will edit the paper.
DEAN VARDELL IS
TRUSTEE
In enumerating the new College
Trustees last week we unintention
ally omitted, the name of Dean
Charles G. Vardell, who has been
chosen by the Board. We are glad
to recognize Dean Vardell as a mem
ber of the Board of Trustees of the
College and Academy.
“Brook^lyn is the graveyard of the
ministry.” The Rev. Cornelius Green
way, pastor of All Souls Universalist
Church, Brooklyn, sends a tip to
tlipological students.
“Student radicals are manufac
tured by the hysterical regulations of
the institutions in w'hich they are
enrolled.” President Robert May
nard Hutchins of Chicago releases
the cold dope, f
“Hell Week? The only solution is
elimination.” Northwestern’s Pres.
Walter Dill Scott speaks his mind.
VALENTINES
Valentines big and Valentines
small — Valentines lacy and frilly,
Valentines of candy, Valentines with
short verses, Valentines with long
verses, — all of these were the order
of the day-at Salem College on Feb
ruary fourteenth. Then there were
telegrams with valentine greetings,
and someone put an advertisement
on the bulletin-board in Alice Clewell
building, stating: “Valentine tele
grams — special rate 25c.” Each
girl saw this as she read her tele
gram, and it made it quite interest-
ing.
There were more boxes of candy
at Salem over the weekend. Heart-
shaped boxes filled with delicious
candy gladdened the heart of many
a Salemite, as she read the card and
nibbled a piece of candy. But Salem
girls are not heartless wretches.
There were many “olis” and “ahs”
over packages, and Cupid ruled the
day. There were tender thoughts of
many a gallant young swain that day
even though many wouldn’t admit it.
Fifteen rahs for St. Valentine- He
certainly did a good job in perpetua
ting happiness — on at least one day
in the year.
WHO’S WHO AT SALEM
Stephanie Newman Gets
Into The Public Eye
Name; Stephanie Newman (called
“Step” since the age of two
months), was born August 30, 1914,
way down in Atlanta, Ga. War in
the Balkans and Sephanie in Georgia

Newman household.
At the age of three: Was proud
of her long curls — in love with a
hadsome fellow of thirty-flve — and
a constant bother to her elder broth
er, Pliilip, who played nursemaid.
During the awkward years: Curls
were whacked off and the terrible
process of schooling was begun —
hated school but loved her teachers
— made four new .starts at school,
moving from Atlanta to Franklinton,
N. C., Raleigh, Sanford, an^ even
tually Winston-Salem.
High School Hates: Hated math
and her new shiny spectacles that
slipped up and down on her nose.
At Salem: Freshmen and Sopho
more years she remained inconspic
uous in campus affairs; distinguished
her.self, however, for her witty say
ings and her determination to make
an A on math.
Her Junior year Stephanie become
one of the most active day studentsi
at Salem — helped in day student’s
lunch room — wrote May Day pub
licity articles — was elected vice-
president of student body — w
stung by the Scorpions.
Her Senior year — often seen
flitting here and there attending to
her numerous duties — usually walks
alone; no one can keep up with her.
Fak^orite Food: Strawberry short-
fake with piles of whipped cream.
Favorite Sport: Hiking (this may
account for her long, slender feet
shoes — AAAA.)
Suppressed Desires: To be a
trained nurse in a white uniform —
to travel in Switzerland and Scot
land — to live by the sea.
Vice: Dramatic monologues.
Virtue: Sparkling wit and easy
good nature.
Hobby: Cooking. (Lemon me
ringue custards is her specialty.)
Favorite Poem: The Rubaiyat of
Omar Kayyham.
Favorite Frock: One of those
triple sheer things in dark blue with
a touch ■of pink on it.
Favorite l^lovie Star: The last
one she has seen — is a “hero wor
shipper” — any handsome face
will do.
Family Life: Has three “eligible”
brothers, one an architect—the oth
er two are college boys — two sis
ters, both younger than she — moth
er and father proud of all six —
Fritzie , a German police dog, is the
family pet, and he completes the
picture of the “happy home.”
Best Girl Friend: The Salemite’s
editor.
Best Boy Friend: She won’t tell.

CAROLINA OUTLINES
ATHLETIC POUCY
MODEST MISS BROWN
ALSO GETS INTER.
VIEWED
Agnes (she won’t tell her middle
name), Brown: Has black hair lively
brown eyes and a cherubic dimple.
Was born at Davidson, N. C. Until
the age of six masqueraded as a
pretty little boy ’ ’ who wore cun
ning suits (which her brother had
outgrown). Cried when she found
out she was a little girl and would
have to wear dresses — finally de
cided being a girl wasn’t so bad —
if she could act like’ a boy.
High school days w'ere like high
school days are in a small town —
long and tiresome, with nothing to
do but stuBy.
Off to college: Freshman year at
Converse left Aggie unimpressed
with the glories of social life — de
cided to come to Salem College her
Sophomore year — she did, and loved
it — it is apparent that Salem also
loved her.
Sophomore Distinctions: Stung by
Scorpions — member of business
staff of The Salemite — played bas
ketball — roomed with Jane Crow.
Her .Tunior year Aggie belonged to
practically every organization on
the campus — was business manager
of the Salemite — member of Ath
letic Council and Student Council —
belonged to “Y. ” Cabinet—treasur-
'Chapel Hill, N. C. (NSFA) — The
following resolution was passed by
the University of North Carolina
Athletic Council and outlines the
policy concerning scholarship stu
dents participating on varsity teams.
“Whereas, we, the Athletic Council
0/ the University of North Carolina,
after 10 yeras of intensive study and
strenuous effort, have developed at
the University of North Carolina a
system of inter-mural and inter-col
legiate athletics that is entirely sat
isfactory and in keeping with the
best traditions of the University of
North Carolina and of athletics in
the South; and whereas, a large per
centage of the students at the Uni
versity of North Carolina are self
help students, and dependent on help
from the Univer.sity itself, their
friends and alumni; therefore, be it
resolved, that we see no reason for
eligibility regulations to be tamper
ed with or made more rigid; that we
heartily disapprove of the recom
mendations which the National As
sociation or State Universities has
adopted and that we feel that our
eligibility regulations should be con
trolled entirely by scholarship, char
acter, previous participation in ath
letics elsewhere, one year residence
at the University of North Carolina
before participating in varsity ath
letics and the entire athletic career
be covered in a period of five years.
Be it resolved, further, that all stu
dents, whether they bo athletes or
otherwise, should be on the same
basis and that we see no reason why
a boy’s eligibility should be influ
enced by his financial affairs except
that he .should not receive remuner
ation for athletic services, per se. ”
THIS COLLEGIATE
WORLD
(By Associated Collegiate Press)
At the University of Wisconsin
(where they discovered the annual
crop of lipstick on the campus would
paint a barn), student reporters dis
covered that the ordinary bottle of
ink w'ill enable one to write 191,600
words — if you don’t spill any.
The Princetonian interview demon
strated that slavedriving conditions
still exist in the southern chain gang.
All a fellow' had to do was even
look cock-eyed at a guard and he’d
get the lash,” said the interviewee.
If you’ve ever had a lash with
pieces of iron on the end come down
on your back you’ll know how it
feels.”
Shackles, he said, were clamped on
liis legs and the rivets smashed With
an iron hamnfer.
er of May Day — (also managed to
make varsity hockey on the side.)
Senior Year: Does this year almost
everything she did last year plus
practice teaching. When she isn’t
conferencing or councilling she is
out on field trips for sociology.
Peculiarities: Doesn’t like to go
to the movies — prefers to write
with a fountain pen on unlined pa
per — writes very few letters, but
receives piles of them-— gets up at
7:00 a. ^n. and enjoys a big break
fast.
Likes: Sociology, spinach, sweaters
and skirts, conferences, and people.
Dislikes: Chewing gum, sleeping in
the daytime, eating at night, and vile
shades of nail polish.
Prized Possessions: Her electric
iron, typewriter, and new “specs.”
Towards the opposite sex: Cool
and indifferent (but why do you get
so many letter, Aggie?
Ambition: To be a social service
worker.
Comments: On practice teaching
■ “I find it a very difficult task to
guide the minds of the young.”
When asked what she wanted to be
like twenty years from how: — “I
want to have a husband and at least
six children on whom I can practice
child psychology.” (Is that fair,
Aggie?
Family Life: Lives with her
uncle at Davidson. Has a brother
named Walter but known around
Salem as Pete — for further infor
mation, see Evelyn Henderson.

It often shows a fine command

of the Middle Ages. The professor

TUESDAY CHAPEL
In Tuesday’s Chapel, Dr. Rond-
thaler spoke with the 1-2 verses of
the 1st Chapter of Matthew for his
text, “Judge not, that ye be not
judged. For with what judgement
ye judge, ye shall be judged: and
with what measure ye mete, it shall
be measured to you again.” Dr.
Rondthaler said that by this Jesns
did not forbid all severity of judg
ment because Jesus Himself often
judged severely. There is la recoil
upon him who expres.ses judgment. A
judgment expressed is an interpreta
tion of the person who expresses it.
If we find life evil and suspicious,
these things are in us and not iu
life. A synic finds the world hope
lessly cynical, a snob declares snob-
ish judgments far and near, thereby
showing himself to be a snob. Tak»
stock concerning your own judg
ments.
