Every friendship we make helps to round out our own personalities in some little, usually unrecognizable way. Friendships bring in our life, particularly these college friendships backed by days of con stant association and work together. Let us cling to these friendships, through the intervening months, perhaps years, and continue them in spite of any divid ing distance. Do not let them lapse like something which may be renewed at any spare moment or for some necessity. But for “Auld Lang Syne’ ” sake, let’s keep our friends. Who knows when they may need us, or we them? OUR BREAD AND BUTTER NOTE Each of us would like to leave a thank-you note to Salem College for the many things that it has done for us during the year. We appreciate the physical comfort that we have re ceived. All the college helpers, we know, have contributed toward preparing our delicious food and keeping our rooms warm and clean. We have enjoyed the recreational and social functions carefully planned by Miss stockton, our officers, and committees. Next, we have profitted intellectually by the in struction of our teachers. We thank them for their patience and care in the developing of our minds. Lastly, we have been up lifted by the religious atmosphere of Salem. Thank you, Salem, for a happy, worthwhile, and ipspiring school year. Cambridge, Mass.—(ACP)—^Har vard students who sent a fake bomb to Gov. Curley of Massachusetts, and pinned a red flag, complete with hammer and sickle, on the flagpole of the Supreme Court building in Washington may be severely discip lined by the college. Although it was thought likely that Leonard Farmer, freshman who sent a bomb made of candy, excelsior and an alarm clock to Massachusetts, chief executive, would get off lightly, student editors of the Lampoon, hum or magazine, were in line for rough treatment by the dean’s office for the part they allegedly played in the red flag incident. Severity of the disciplinary meas ures taken against them, it was said, would depend upon the protests of Federal authroities in Washington. Every Northwestern University chemistry graduate of the last three years has been promptly employed. Evanston, 111. — (ACP) — Child prodigies grow duller as they grow older. That is the conclusion of Prof. Paul A. Witty of the Northwestern University department of psychology Who has just completed a study of the personal histories of fifty child geniuses of ten years ago. In most cases prodigies grew up into a conventional pattern with no qualification or desire for leadership. Prof. Witty reported. Each of the fifty subjects of the survey rated intelligence quotients of 140 plus in 1924-25. Since then their life his tories have been carefully observed. Points in their favor: their edu cational attainments continued high er than of their fellows. Thei phys ical growth and vigor was superior. They rated a little higher in char acter tests. Despite these facts. Prof. Witty told a convention of psychologists, “there appears to be little evidence that creative intelligence is being developed or displayed in extraord inary degree.” Homes and schools that are too standardized are at fault, he said. QUOTABLE QUOTES (By Associated Collegiate Press) “There is common sense and wholesome good in some of the ‘love lorn’ newspaper columns.” Dr. Garry C. Myers, head of the depart ment of parent education at Cleve land College, Western Reseve Uni versity, has a pat on the back for the Dorothy Dix school, while be moaning the low taste of much other newspaper material. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt speak ing: “The answer of the old school of economics isn’t the one. There must be something else, so you’ve got to go on searching. It is you young people who must find the answer. ’ ’ “Unwilling to take any realistic step to avert war, we talk peace and steadily develop a policy of ’mateht politik’ which can only end in our participation in the next world war, regardless of the greatest united ef fort of the peace societies.” Felix Morly, editor of the Washington Post, tells the American Academy of Political and Social Science just how things stand. YE COLLEGE CRIER Uncle Sam was exceedingly gen erous to one of our rising juniors last week. The carats (not of the vege table variety), that he brought her were unanticipated. The recipient refuses to give out any information concerning the meaning of such a beautiful diamond. We can only surmise, but we do wonder if there will be a student election at the be ginning of next year. What will the less popular girls do next year after the seniors are gone. They have given us so much pleas ure vicariously. We look back on those Green Room talks with a great deal of sadness. How will we ever find what Johnny, John, Fred and Bill said last night t Life is a very dreary prospect, but may I add a fervent prayer that our next year’s seniors will be a bit less boisterous about their social activitiesT Whose radio announcer’s action deserves comment because of his association with one of a dual alU- ance of sisters at Sdlemt It is al leged that it was announced that his voice was absent from the mi crophone because of a honeymoon. His fiancee was here that week-end. What a sultan in this day and agef Isn’t it nice to be young, in love, and do foolish things. I understand that the peroxide business is boom ing and all because of the influence of a U. N. C. boy on one of o*r gullable freshmen. ¥. W. Y.W.C A Y NEWS Last Sunday Bev. Mr. Douglas Bights spoke at Vespers on Morav ian traditions in education. In the course of his talk he told of Mr. John Amos Comenius who is a Mo ravian teacher and leader in mod ern thought. He brought out other good points, too, which served to em phasize his idea of the importance of tradition in an institution. Next Sunday evening Dr. An- scombe will speak at Vespers. Evening Watch this week will be led by Jane Crow. The Y. W. C. A. has chosen Mary Fancis Hayworth and Mary Hart to represent Salem College at the Southern Conference at Blue Ridge this summer. The Conference, which begins June 11 and lasts for nine days, is held for young people of southern colleges and universities that they might have the opportunity of seek ing together for inspiration, knowl edge and solutions to the social prob lems of the day. The Conference this summer will strive especially to discover and define the essential na ture of religion. The two delegates were chosen chiefly because of their interest in the work, and their capacities for giving and receiving profit from the experience. The Y. W. C. A., however, will en courage any other students who wish to go to Blue Bidge this sum mer and are able to do so. A. A. U. W. ENTERTAIN SENIORS AT TEA The American Association of Uni versity Women honored the Salem seniors at a delightful tea on Tues day afternoon at the home of Mrs. Santford Martin, on Roslyn Road. Lovely garden flowers were used in decoration throughout the home. Miss Diana Dyer welcomed the guests at the door. Those entertaining and serving in the dining room were: Mrs. Santford Martin, Mrs. Joe Johnson, Mrs. Melville Prongay, and Miss Mary Martin. WHO’S WHO AT SALEM LOUISE BLUM Every Northwestern chemistry graduate of the last three years has been promptly employed. Monkeys are not socialists, but rugged individualists, says a Univer sity of Missouri psychologist. We are not quite sure what this proves. Senior Day Student She is smallish, dark-haired, and twenty. Her size may be contracted with her goodly store of enthusiasm, friendliness, and genuine ability. During her four years at Salem she has majored in Spanish, minored in psychology, played the organ, and engaged in numerous extra-curricular activities; in doing all these she has not lost her capacity for engaging jolly, wholesome fun. She may be off to Oak Bidge or watching her famous brother, George, play base ball; she may be reading a Spanish novel or practicing her music — all of these activities are interests to be enjoyed and appreciated. Be cause she is so interested in so many things, Louise has made friends easily. Her four years at Salem she shall never forget, and who of us shall forget Blum, with her clever ness and bright intelligence. History: Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Blum, Liberty Street, Winston-Salem, N. C. — bears the thoroughly daughter-like name of Louise Adelaide. Admires Most: Dr. Rondthaler. Ambition; To be “somebody’s” secretary. Sounds intriguing, espec ially since discovering that Louise is taking both her course in short hand and in cooking seriously.) Accomplishments: Plays jazz by ear and Bach by book. Also acts and debates. Has had several automo bile wrecks, but her friends call her an excellent driver. Favorite Pastime: Arguing with Mr. McEwen. Likes: Scalloped potatoes — danc ing — Robert Taylor — “Jack” — driving up and down Doune St. Amazing Tolerance: Listens to Sissel’s jokes and good naturedly submits to her nick-name, “Simp.” Prize Possession: Her new wrist watch, a birthday present from her father. Best friend: “Dot” Lashmit. Steadiest Friend: He drives a Ford V-8 coupe. Comments: Tries to look impres sive when she wears her “specs” and succeeds by looking very attrac tive — her popularity with both girls and boys proves she is a swell sport — and a grand girl. Ellen Moore, Dot Wyatt, Mary Louise McClung, Anna Leak Scott, and Frances Alexander are going on the Georgia Caravan. Please allow me to extend a mes sage to the wise. If anyone sees a personal thrust in this column si lence is much less obvious than in quiries about the author. One con clusion is that he who taketh a para graph unto himself is guilty! COMMENT OF A CAP AND GOWN What an eventful year for mel In all my years of service at Salem Col lege,! can truly say that this has been the most pleasant. Naturally I have been in close con tact with seniors. The senior who has owned me this year has been most considerate of my welfare. Of course I will admit I have been sub jected to slight rain and snow storms at times, but on the whole I have been treated very respectfully. Ah —I could never count the times I have been photographed. After having adorned the head and form of this senior for numer ous chapel exercises, receptions etc., I am just at the eve of commence ment, the end of my year’s work. I look forward to this event with pride, for this senior will be the third honor student I have accompanied down the aisle to a diploma. I am going to look my best that day. I will be hanging in most impressive black folds, and my cap tassel will be swaying slowly, proudly proclaiming to all the educated brain I will be shielding fo the last time.
