Is it the Latin Club, the Math Club, the French Club, the Pierettes, or any other organization? If you are not a member of any of these, remember that you are a member of the Y. W. C. A. All of these groups need your talents, so if you have been indiff erent or inactive, wake up and think of some way of arousing interest or of keeping interest in your club. The “Y” Cabinet, without you working with them, is like a head without a body, and any executive group of a club is in a similar predicament without your wholehearted support. So if your club is the best on the campus, work to keep it in the lead; if your club is falling behind, see what you can do to make it better. Re member that these organizations are a vital part of any college. —L. J. MUSIC NOTES Week-End Radio Programs Arturo Toscanini directs the N. B. C.

Do come and enjoy a good musical pro gram next Sunday in Old Chapel at 6:30 P.M. HOW’S ABOUT A LITTLE CONSIDERATION The time is eight o’clock Sunday morning. The place is room number 1 , Alice ■ Clewell Building, Salem College. The action starts when we pull ourself from under our blankets, fish for our bedroom slippers, and tip across the room to pull down the shade. We then shut the transom, being careful not to let it bang, put up an,Asleep sign, and slip quietly back in bed without waking our room mate. The story begins when “everybody’s pal” gallops around the comer of the hall whistling “My Prayer.” We don’t care what her prayer is; but if she only knew about OUR prayer, she would be a little less noisy. When she gets right outside of our door she informs her rommate, who is evidently waiting at the end of the hall, that she would like shredded-wheat. We pull the cover up around our ears, wiggle our toes, and hope she will enjoy her cereal, for we know that we would enjoy our nap. But complications to the plot develop. Our dear neighbor and her roommate are met in the campus living room by the German army. From the noise that comes from the meeting, we are led to blieve that they are trying to agree on some plan of attack. No, on second thought we decide that the whole army must want shredded-wheat. We can stand the suspense no longer. We get out of bed in a hurry, for our bedroom slippers are in place now. We stick our head out of the door The “Y” committees, under the various chairmen, are being formed. These groups are open to both old and new students. If any of you— old girls or new girls — wish to join a committee, see any member of the “Y” Cabinet; and she will tell you exactly what to do. Now’s the time; you’ll have a lot of fun all year .. Warning!! You had better keep your eye on the “ Y ” bulletin board, or you will miss something important The bulletin board is down by the desk and on it will be posted all “Y” notices and the calendar giving the dates for the various “Y” ac tivities. The following books, given by Friends of the Library, have just been catalogued: “The Georgies of Vergil,” This book will be of interest for its unusual format and the beauty of its illustrations. The Georgies (agri cultural poems) are here translated by Blackmore. Book is the gift of Miss Minnie J. Sfmith. “Each To The Other,” by Christo pher La Farge. A novel in verse — a semi-auto- •biographical and semi-invented tale of youth, love, and marriage — equally interesting to those who read fiction and like verse. Book given by Mrs. Arthur Port. “Huntsman, What Quarry?” by Ed na St. Vincent MOlay. A collection of lyrics and sonnets. The author has always fought, and is still fighting, injustice. One sec tion of the book reflects the poet’s feelings for Czechoslovakia, China, and Japan. Another group of poems is in memory of her friend, Elinor Wylie. Book given by Mrs. Chas. N. Siewers. “A Little Night Music,” by Gerald W. Johnson. Humorous esaayy on the art of making amateur music, addressed to all those who make or enjoy music. The final chapter. “A Piano with Dirty Keys” is particularly charm ing. Gift from Mr. Edward A, Old ham. I “Collector's Luck,” by Alice Van Leer Carrick. This book %vill interest the “an- tique-hunter, ” for it contains a wealth of information on “collect ing” and is profusely illustrated. Gift of Mrs. R. H. Moore. “The Man of the Renaissance,” By Ralph Roeder. Through the lives of four men — Savonarola, Machiavelli, Castiglione, Aretiro — the author illustrates the four phases of the moral life of the Renaissance. Book is the gift of Mrs. T. Holt Haywood. “A Guide to the Study of Medieval History,” By Poston. A standard bibliography of all phases of medieval life and|culture. Gift of Mrs. Bess Gray Plumly. “Matthew Arnold,” By Lionel Trilling. Of this book Clifton Fadimon says, “Arnold emerges from this careful and beautifully written study no,t only as one of the great literary men of his ceiitury, but as an extremely human being whose dilemmas and intellectual crises strike to the Heart of our own unease.” Gift from Mrs. Justus Randolph. and are immediately disillusioned, for we find that the noise which we attributed to the Germany army is being caused by a group of girls from Second Floor who are planning to go to Sunday School. By now they have waked up our roommate who is always in a terrible humor early in the morning. The story ends when How about that now, Salemite? Please let us sleep on Sunday. —P. B. MRS. REYNOLDS’ BIRTHDAY The Seniors think Louisa Bitting Building is a wonderful place in which to live, and it truly is. Everyday we come and go, we walk through the halls, we live in our rooms; and every once in a while we stop and think about how nice it is, and how worthy of three years’ waiting for it. But I dare say we never stop to think about the person who gave us this building. It was in, memory of Louise Bitting that Mrs. Kate Bitting Reynolds built and dedicated our Senior Building. In 1930 when the cornerstone was laid, Mrs. Reynolds cemented into reality the memory of a charming mother, and at the same time gave us a beautiful building in which to spend our last Salem year. The point of these comments is that last Saturday, Oc tober 14, was Mrs. Reynolds’ birthday; and, although very few of us knew about it, when we did find out we were sorry we hadn’t know earlier. So now, Mrs. Reynolds, even though it is late, we, on behalf of Salem, and especially the Seniors, hope that you had a wonderful birthday, and that you will have many, many more just like the last. —M.
