BASKETBALL BAN
QUET IS HELD
Alumnae Attend
Saturday night was the climax to
one of the most enthusiastic basket
ball seasons in the past several
years. The banquet before the final
game not only crowned the basket
ball activities but Alumnae Day, as
well. Dr. Rondthaler, Miss Minnie
Atkinson, Athletic director, Miss
Sarah Sherwood, president of the
Athletic Association, and the two
winning teams. Sophomores and Jun
iors, were seated at the center table
of the dining room.
Miss Sherwood made the address
of welcome to the alumnae, to which
Mrs. Johnston responded. Miss At
kinson introduced the alumnae, and
some of these guests greeted the stu
dents. Miss Louise Frazier intro
duced the captain of the junior team.
Miss Janie MacLean, and the captain
of the sophomore team, Miss Telieia
Martin, Miss Frazier, also, as a repre
sentative of the students, expressed
appreciation to Miss Atkinson. Miss
“Sunny” Kirby, a former Salem

According to an Easter custom, the
last expanded chapel before the holi
days was given over to a certain
scene of the last seven days of
Christ’s life. Dr. Eondthaler discuss
ed the events on Palm Sunday as
pictured in the Gospel of St. John.
If Christ’s entire life were recorded
as fully as were the last days before
the Death and Resurrection, the com
plete story would fill 125 volumes
the size of the Bible.
The enthusiasm of the crowd on
Palm Sunday was .short-lived, and
the people’s hearts were filled with
anger instead of love. The clamor
subsided though and was not raised
again until Friday, when the crowd
went to Pilate’s court crying “Cru
cify Him! ”
When several Greeks, anxious to
worship at the feast, came to see
Jesus, Phillip and Andrew told Him
tlie news. Jesus answered them that
“The hour is come, that the Son of
man should be glorified. He that
loveth his life shall lose it; and he
that hateth his life in this world
shall keep it into life eternal. ’ ’ He
could not contain Himself any long
er and cried out, “Now is my soul
troubled; and what shall I say? Fa
ther, save Me from this hour; but for
tliis cause I came unto this world.”
When God spoke to Jesus, the peo
ple heard it; some thought it thun
dered, others believed it to be an
angel’s voice. Jesus then told the
people, “This voice came not be
cause of one, but for your sakes. If
I be lifted up, I will draw all men
to me. ’ ’ He was thinking here of
the Greeks, his disciples, all of the
hostile people, and of everybody to
come.
Before leaving, Jesus told them to
forget a little while the light that
was with them. “While you have
light, believe in the light, that ye
may be the children of light.”
Is the words of Dr. Eondthaler —
To almire Him is to love Him, to
love Him is to trust and follow Him.

Based On Scholastic
Average
By unanimous vote in the faculty
meeting, Thursday, March 11, the
cut system was changed to the fol
lowing new regulations:
1. Every student, except freshmen,
in the first semester, is granted
one cut per semester in all
courses in which she has a pas
sing grade (C — or above.)
2. Every student is granted two
cuts per semester in all 3-hour
courses in which she has a
straight B or above.
3. Every student is granted three
cuts per semester, and two cuts
in 2-hour courses, in which she
has a straight A.
i. Every freshman will be allowed
three cuts during the first semes
ter, provided not more than one
is taken in a course, and provided
are are taken in courses in which
she is doing passing work.
5. The attendance committee will
handle as individual cases the
following requests:
a. To represent the college upon
request of the administration.
b. To attend college conferences,
etc.
c. To do substitute teaching.
d. For departmental trips.
e. For emergencies or illness in
the family.
f. For personal illness.
These absences will not be deduct
ed from the number of cuts, unless,
due to prolonged or recurring illness,
further absences from class attend
ance are likely to reduce greatly the
standing of the student.
0. A student may not be absent
without excuse from registration,
laboratory work, and announced
tests, 01- a class in which sho has
a special report assigned.
7. Any special cases not coming un
der the above regulations will be
handled by the attendance com
mittee.
The system now in operation dif
fers from the one just adopted in
that the present system rewards
high grades only to a very limited
degree. The faculty feel that a high
grade is the best evidence of a stu
dent’s ability to miss a class and
make up her work satisfactorily. It
adopted, therefore, a system in which
the number of cuts are granted on a
basis of academic standing.
If a student takes up a course in
which she has not done previous
work, she is considered passing until
she has done failing work. There
fore, she may, if she wishes, go
ahead and take her one cut. If she
feels she is entitled to more cuts, she
jy^may consult with her instructor. If
a student has had work in the same
course before, the number of cuts al
lowed her is based on her grade for
the previous semester.
This adopted plan gives the stu
dents cuts on the basis of the quality
of her work. The students must
earn the cuts they receive.
