THE SALEMITK
A VISITOR TO SALEM
CAMPUS REMARKED:
“I think one of the things which
impressed me most at Salem was the
willow tree just outside of your win
dow. It is one of the most beautiful
I have ever seen. Can you tell me
anything more about it?”
The story goes that the part of
the campus where Louisa Bitting
building and the back of Clewell now
stand used to be the Sister’s Garden
and there stood an old willow tree.
In fact, it was so old it had to be
cut down in 1925 and in that same
year the senior class planted a new
willow on the same spot.
It grew remarkably fast and was
a beautiful tree when, in 1933, a
terrible storm swept over this part
of the country. Overloaded by the
■weight of the ice which froze on its
limbs, the tree broke and when the
storm was over it had been reduced
to about a third of its previous
height. Everyone thought that it
■would die or remain stunted but with
the return of warm weather it bloss
omed out and began to grow again
much to everyone delight.
But the willow hasn’t spent all
its time in growing. It has give to
us all many hours of pleasure. "What
can be more delightful than to rest
in its cool shade after a tiring tennis
Watch on a hot spring day? How
restful it is to watch it from your
■window' swaying in the breeze, to
bear it gently swishing in the rain
or see it standing silently with every
leaf in place in the mid-day sun.
When “Adieu, Kind Friends” was
the “hit of the week” the class of
1935 made a big red heart and fas
tened it on the willow’s trunk. All
day long you could hear merry voices
bidding each other adieu as girls
Went beak and forth along the path.
And so our willow, like most things
on Salem’s campus, has quite a his
tory. Nevt time you go by stop and
look up and see if you don’t agree
■with me in saying it is one of the
most beautiful trees you have ever
seen.

Janie killed two birds with one
stone last week-end when she took
in Raleigh and Billy.
Jo Gibson went to the game last
Saturday with Bichard, I think (I
hope), that’s his name. Anyway,
it’s straight stuff, because when she
told me, she begged me not to put
it in. I’m sUch a big bully.

HANDSOME
Your hair is blond.
Your eyes are blue,
Your figure’s great,
Your heart is true.
Your voice is soft.
Your cheeks are tan,
There’s just one trouble —
You’re a man.
DITTIE OF THE ■WEAK
Hark to the cries
Of pain so shrill;
here’s a sit-down strike
In the old tack mill.
Beneath the moon he told his love.
The color left her cheeks;
But on the shoulder of his coat.
It showed quite plain for weeks.
Our blond Peggy was turning all
Colors of the rainbow Sunday night
and rightly so. She was stood up by j
her Joe — no more, no less, ■What’s i
the matter Peggy? Losing your pow

W’as so thrilled and happy when she
Rot back from Greensboro last Sun- j

entertaining! j
Did you see that “purty” red
car parked out in front of Senior
all Sunday afternoon? I suppose
Tweak’s forgotten all about Johnny
of the Big Apple by this time.
