PIERRETTE CLUB ENTERTAINS MISS HELEN HOWE After the program Tuesday night, the Pierrette Players held open house at the Home Managemen Building for Miss Helen Howe, dramatic mono- loguist, who was a guest of the col lege. Miss Howe was gracious enough to answer all questions per taining to her work, and to offer en couragement and helpful advice to any student with “dramatic aspira tions.” When asked what she thought about Salem, she said, with all sincerity, ‘ ‘ I think it is the most charming and ^^ite the loveliest school I have ever been to. I hon estly do! ” Orange ice punch, cookies, anld dates were served to about 30 guests, including the members of the Eng lish and Home Economics Depart ments, College and Academy Drama tic Clubs, who came to call during the evening.

THANKSGIVING ONLY FOUR DAYS OFF Many Cutting Claiss'es to Spend Holiday Away In just four more days from this very night we’ll be celebrating once again that grand old holiday that was first started by our Pilgraim fathers in 1621. Even if we’re not leaving Salem to spend this day, we’ll still enjoy a brief rest from our life here that has had no official vacation in ten weeks. (Did yon realize that it will be exactly ten weeks to the day that we upper classmen have been here by the time that Wednesday rolls around, and that it will be ten weeks for the new students on Sunday?) Of course, most of us have been away some where for a week-end or maybe just a day; but then we had to make up all the work that we missed, and that wasn’t fun to look forward to after we’d come back from a short frolic. But now at last we have a day next week when, if we stay here, we can sleep as long as we like, read all of last week’s funnies and magazines, write the letters that we owe, .see all of the movies in town, keep our tummys full all day, or catch up on our past lessons (Oh Yeah! That’s what you may think!); or, if we go away, — well, we’ll tell you about that after we come back, if we can stay awake long enough to get everything said!) We’re planning all sorts of ways to get in a good time on Tranks- giving Day if we leave Salem. About half of us who are leaving are going home to see our families. (Or is there another reason too?); many are going to other colleges for foot ball games and dances; others will visit brothers or sisters who are not at home; and some will go to see aunts or uncles or cousins. A bunch of families are planning to come here to Winston to see their “college gals” who haven’t time to go home in one day. Only since 1864 has the Uiiited States had a definite day for Thanks giving, but ever since then we’ve had a mellow, comfortable feeling whenever this season of the year comes. It is the time for family get- togethers and fun of every kind -— dances, picnics, feasts, weiner roasts, movies, horseback jaunts, trips, air plane rides, in fact anything that’s exciting or unusual or interesting. We all have our special idea of a per fect Thanksgiving Day, and it’s high time we begin getting all those last- ininute details arranged for a swell holiday. T Notes The “Y. ” Vesper committee has beeii fortunate in securing as its guest speaker for Sunday, November 21, Reverend Gordon Spaugh, from the Home Moravian Church. A special Thanksgiving program has been planned, and the “Y” hopes you will all be there to enjoy it. Remember — Sunday night at 6:30 in the Campus Living Room. Believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner, and in order to get you ready for it, the Y. W. C. A. is sponsoring a Japanese Bazaar to be held here on the campus from No vember 29 through Oecember 2. The upper-classman already know what an attractive display the Bazaar of fers, but you new students really can not appreciate the lovely pa jamas, trick boxes, knick-knacks, slippers, and other interesting ar ticles until you have seen them your self, so save your pennies over Thanksgiving, and bring back a few extra over from home in order Ithat you can “shop early and avoid the rush. Announcements will be posted to tell you the rest of the details. This summer, we came across this negro dance advertisement — Dance begins at eight o’clock and ends when your baby says, “honey let’s go home.” Dwtributor of Golle6icii0Di6est CNICAQO • lOSTOII • Lot All«tLlt • SAN PRARCItCO WHAT DO YOtt i)6 AT 8:30? One Day-Student closes her books when the morning chapel bell rings and goes promptly to Memorial Hall. She at tends chapel every mornitig that she has a nine o’clock class. Another girl arrives at school early but chatters and laughs until she hears the gong. Then she thumbs through her notes and books only to find that she isn’t prepared for her classes. Away she trips tip the stairs to “beg off” to do work she should have ftniiihfed. Some sleepy-head drives up a minute before nine with the excuse, “I dver^lept.” She spends the rest of the day ask ing what the anttouiiocmeiits were, missing important meet ings, and hearing about the speech she failed to hear. The professitwal “skipper” dodges from room to room and peeps around corners until she feels safe td waste the half hour she has stolen. Day Student, which girl are you? —F. J. DO YOU WANT A NEW LIBRARY? “Will we be moved into the new Libfary when we get back after Christmas? Won’t it be grand?” We hear re marks such as these every day and make them ourselveS. But I wonder if, when we make them, we realize the Work, plan ning, and stretching of money which is back of our having a new library and by the tittie we get back from the Christmas holidays. With all the stretching they can do, however, Miss Siewers and the Library Committee have hit a snag in their plans and are now looking to us, the students, who are to have the greatest benefit out of the building to do something to help out. We do not have enough money for the steel shelves in the stack rooms. Almost all of the furnishings are taken care of. Alumnae and other friends are furnishing whole rooms, the reading room, the browsing, the lounge, and others. However Otily a few of the alumnae have thought of unassuming, though modern steel shelves. We naturally real ize their importance becalise we use the shelves so much and recognize the disadvantage in not having proper shelving. This is our responsibility. Though the alumnae have contribu ted some there still are not enough shelves for just the books We now have, without the ones we hope to have later. Where are they kept now ? Some on new shelves which will be used in the new building but most of them (and you probably have never seen those in the extension room) on rough, irre^lar sized, hand-made shelves which will not fit in the new building, much less look all right. So the student body through the class officers is being ask ed to do anything they feel they can to help out in the situation and to do it this month so that the committee may keep to its word of “after Christmas.” The separate shelves are priced very low and even one of them is quite welcome. Any individual who feels that she can sacrifice a little more than she did last year for the pleasure and benefit she will receive, is urged to do what she can. We can’t just sit back and expect the “alumnae and friends” to do all for us, so that we can study better. It’s our responsibility as well as theirs, if we want a new library. —H. T. GET OUT THE VACUUM-OLEANERS There is nothing more disturbing when you’re contem plating the beauties of nature on the campus than to see sud denly in the midst of your contemplating, something which is definitely not a beauty of nature — something as incongruous as a stray candy-wrapper mixed in with autumli leaves, for in stance. Somehow candy wrappers and trash have never mixed very well with a campus that iS trying to be presentable. But we try to force them to do so all the time! We go to the book store, stock up on candy, and then trail across the campus drip ping paper wrappers as fast as we can behind us. It’s hard on the eye; it’s hard on the campus; it’s hard on us when we want to impress our visitors with Salem. The back campus and the hockey field are also to be con sidered. Too often during hockey games we get so jubilant with class spirit that we forget our manners and scatter trash helter-skelter everywhere. The girl who is guilty of this carelessness has been label ed “Public Enemy No. 1.” Apparently her domestic instinct has not yet been, awakened, or she would care more about the appearance of her little campus world. If you know her, if you should see her anywhere, grab her, and put her to work cleaning up her handi-work. —H. M.
