DREAMS DO COME
TRUE
As Doctor Rondthaler often says
sometimes a dream comes true and
as we watch the progress of the new
library we realize that it w'as once
a dream but it is now a briek and
lumber actuality. A year ago it was
only a vision in the hearts and minds
of many students and faculty mem
bers as they shivered and listened to
the boards squeek in our present li
brary.
The first step to bring the dream
into being was taken by the Trus
tees and interested friends of the
college when they began making
contributions for a new building. The
Library Fund was established and in
one chapel period enough money was
received from students, faculty, and
friends to begin work on the build
ing at once. Plans were drawn up
by Northup ;ind O’Brien, and then,
on March eighteenth, work was start
ed by the moving of the Christmas
tree which had stood on that lot
for a number of years. Workmen
came and before the novelty of the
thing wore off a crowd was always
around “superintending” the saw
ing, hammering and digging.
The second big event in the life
of our still very young building
took j>lace on a sunny June after
noon during commencement week —
the laying of the corner stone. The
class of 1937, who gave the door of
the building, were honor guests and
were represented on the platform by
Jo Whitehead. Doctor Rondthaler,
M-. Agnew Bahnson, Miss Grace
Siewers, and Bishop Pfohl, all took
part in the exercises. College pub
lications of last year, as well as a
list of all the men who had worked
on the building, were placed in the
stone.
Miss Siewers hopes that the build
ing w',11 be completed by the Christ-
ma.=i holidays and all tlie books may
be moved in while we are away.
For the benefit of the freshmen
let me say that this library is going
to have ‘ ‘ everything. ’ ’ There will
be a kitchenette and recreation room,
a browsing room, and outdoor read
ing terrace, a work shop, and the
main room will have a fire place, in
direct lights and elegant tables and
chair.s. Tt may look like just so many
boards and bricks today •—- but just
vou wait!
SO WHAT!
Vou know, this dishing the dirt
puts the disher in a spot sometimes.
If anyone does something that really
should be in this column, it isn’t
printable and the things that are
fit to print everyone all ready knows
about them. So what?
Well, anyway here goes. And first
of all, hats off to Mrs. Overton for
really giving us some valuable in
formation. Hope you noticed in
chapel that one and all Isitened and
were interested.
What’s all this talk about Wash
ington Pinkston? Hope you get there
and if only for one day, it will be
worth it, at least to you.
Mary Charlotte’s wide acquain
tances come in handy. Especially
when they are good looking patrol
men. Or haven’t you heard about
that?
Alice Horsefield, Betsy Fearing,
Mary Grier, Evelyn McCarty and
Mary Lee Salley had their own pri
vate discussion about the little facts
of every college gal’s life after Mrs.
Overton broke the ice the other
night. Some of their ideas are quite
good but some of them need to be
thought about a little longer.
Have you noticed the sudden in
terest in horses! Maybe it’s on ac
count of some drug store cowboys.
We know, do you? We suggest join
ing the North West Mounted Police,
complete with red coats if you want
to get your man.
It took a lot of nerve or an empty
skull to bring five of Winston-Sal
em’s young bachelors into supper
Sunday night. For such a sad meal
maybe an empty stomach was all that
was necessary. The grapes were good
though.
STUDENTS INSPIRED BY
FAMOUS VISITORS
If everyone would take to heart
some of the thoughts expressed in
“The Bride Wore Red,” maybe
We’d have less people telling such
tallstories about week-ends and who
they knew and what they did. We’re
gullible but even so, have a heart,
please.
Since famous men of letters have
visited Salem, various of our own
students have been inspired. Here
'.s the result: a sonnet—if you please
The authoress prefers to write under
the nom de plume of “Bismark. ”
We don’t think it is great literature.
I think that I shall never be in
love
Like bats and bees and all who fly
on high
Like pilots soaring freely far
above
Tjike vines that twine together till
they die
I think that I shall never be absurd
Like carefree youths who grasp at
every dance
Like sailors rash of whom you’ve
doubtless heard
Like gigolos who sway with each new
dance
But when I fall in love, twill be
like this
Like slender ships seen skimming
over waves
Like leaves that float to earth in
docile bliss
Like Junior’s slow sweet smile when
first he shaves
For true love is the out-growth of
of the soul
And make of tiny parts a lovely
whole.
Fred Johntz.
I don’t know whether it’s true or
not, but it’s gossip that Briggs is
dating Miriam Sams’ Chester Smith.
He’s supposed to be able to tell for
tunes, and you oughtta hear what
he told Briggs!
Have you heard about the latest
“Y” boy that has taken a fancy
to one of our Salem lassies? Well,
Garnet Saunders is his name, and
Lois Morgan is “the object of his
affections. ’ ’
By the way, how are your bids
coming in for Home-Coming? Hope
we all see all of you all there. Nuff
.said, to bed to dream of the same
thing you always hope to dream
about.
CHATTER AND
PATTER
Warning to a certain young man
at the Y. M. C. A.! Mi.ss Pratt raced
to Raleigh, Saturday supposedly to
see a football match, but we wonder
whether it wasn’t a New Bern flame.
Somebody said that Mary Lib was
hard?hearted. After all, isn’t her
heart made of Steels?
Mary Baldwin and Betty Bahnson
and Helen McArthur attended the
game at Davidson Saturday before
last. Tt seem.s that there were several
cute boys at the dance in Salisbury
that night. How about it Mary and
Betty? “Fiji land is sure the land
for me!”
No nows is supposed to be good
news, but not in the life of a “so
ciety” editor.
Mary Woodruff isn’t a bit sorry
for having gone down to the Duke-
Tennessee game, because Dick Gad
dy asked her to go to every game
and every dance from now on!
Jo Gribbin just can’t make up her
mind between Bill and that “sweet”
boy from Sewanee. You should have
seen her expression on reading the
“Sweet” one’s letter. I’ll try to
find out his name on the next go-
round.
When Meredith said skid had a
date with Fred last nite, I registered
surprise, but no, Virginia, it was
For More Than 30 Years
The Ideal Label
Has Been a Symbol of
Quality
It is your ticket of admission
to the smartest circles because
it is a label that signifies “A
good store.”

ARE YOU A PARASITE?
Well, are you* Maybe not in act
ual shape but how' about in some of
your actions. Oh, so you want me to
be specific do you? All right, I ■svill.
Have you paid your Budget? You
know the budget was supposed to
have been paid when you enrolled in
Salem. However many ignored that
fact. How do you expect your stu
dent activities in the different phases
of college life to be paid for if you
don’t shoulder your share of the
job? Whether you pay or not de
pends only on you, so why not truck
on down to Jo Hutchinson and do
your good turn for the day.
Since we all share alike in the
benefits derived from different organ
izations on our campus, don’t you
think it is only good sportsmanship
for us all to share alike in the finan
cial responsibility? I don’t think
very many of us could not pay our
budget if we really desired to pay
it. I am not speaking to the people
who can’t pay but to those who can
nnd yet ignore their responsibility.
So come on out and let’s show our
treasurer that we are willing to back
them with our pocket book as well
.19 with our big mouth.
I hope I haven’t been too frank and
straight forward with you. Me — I
like frankness in almost any form!
What about you?
:Mrs. Mussolini, Mrs. Wallis Simp
son, Mrs. Lindbergh and Mrs. Roose
velt were plajang cards. Each drew
.1 card to see who would deal.
Mrs. Mussolini drew a duce,
Mrs. Simpson drew a king,
Mrs. Ijindbergh drew an ace, and
Mrs. Roosevelt called for a new deal.
