SIT UP AND
TAKE NOTICE
Have you ever noticed how very impolite and unladylike
some girls sit in chapel? They sit slouched as far down in
their seats as they can possibly get so tliat their neck can rest
on the back of the seat. As well as being unbecoming to a
young lady, this position is extremely bad on one’s spinal col
umn. And, too, how would you like to be up on the stage
trying your best to entertain, only to look out into the audi
ence and see some members in it unattentively sprawled? Sit
up, girls, and pay attention to the speaker. Remember “Do
iinto others as you would have them do unto you.”
—B. S.
IT’S TIME
TO BEGIN!
Now that the basketball season has started in earnest,
it is up to everyone of us S'alemites to support our teams w'hole-
heartedly. Whether we take part in the games as player or
spectator, it is our duty (pleasant one, at that) to boost our
classmates at every opportunity.
Since Salem does not play intercollegiate games zeal
ous backing is particularly necessary. There is no reason why an
intramural game should not draw as much, or even more atten
tion, as one which has been widely publicized in the local and
state press. So let s get down to the gym and shout ourselves
hoarse or run ourselves vt^ary to make this season a real suc
cess.

COIN FRANCAIS
‘L’Aurore aux Tropiques: Impres
sion du soleit levant i £lo
de Janeiro”
Cette semaine-ci nous avons le
plaisir de presenter deux themes
par deux de nos petites soeurs de
I’Aeademie. Ou’il nous soit permis
de feliciter ces demoiselles sur I’ex-
cellenee de leurs compositions, et de
leur souhaiter la bienvenu de notre
Coin frangais.
La lumiSre de L’ aurore se m@le
avec la nuit noire, et les premiers
rayons du soleil brillent obscurSment
dans le cieL Pendant tout le temps
les ehatnes apr^s chaines des mon-
tagnes ressemblent & de grotesques
figures noires, contre le lustre du
soleil levant. Gris, vert, bleu, jaune,
orange, et rouge se remplacent
I’un aprSs I’autres et guand toutes
les petites lampes scintillantes dia-
paraissent de la terre — quand tout
est en silence, — attendant — le
soleil se I6ve en toute sa splendeur.
Plus haut et plus haut il se leve et
un autre jour commence.
he Bourgeois Oentillionune
“Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme” est
une comfidie Icrite par Jean-Bap-
tiste Poquelin, dit Moil^re. O’est
I’histoire d’un homme qui est de-
venu riche dans le commerce des
draps. Avec I’acquisition des biens
il a acquis aussi des idles de gentil
homme. II veut imiter les nobles en
tout. En consequence 11 prend des
maitres d'aimes, de philosopfaie, de
musique, et de danse. La scdne VI,
de I’acte II, est une des plus-droles
et plus risibles sc&nes de la eomedie.
Dans cette scfine M. Jourdain, “Le
Bourgeois Gentilhomme,” prend une
lecon de pKilosophie. En principe il
dit qu’il veut apprendre toutes les
sciences roais il termine par ap
prendre senlement les voyelles. C’est
dans cett'e sc6ne ridicule que M.
Jourdain fait la dficouverte qu’il
parle de la prose depuis Quarantes
annfies. “Par ma foi,” dit-il, “il y
a plus de quarante ans que je dis
de la prose sans que j’en susse rien.”
On voit des allusions k ce passage
dans bien des^ autres pieces lit6r-
aires. Par tout dans cette comldie
MoliSre se moque des nouveaux
riches. L’esprit de Moliere n’est
jamais vicieusement satirique, il est
toujours bienfaisant et anssi il est
toujour bien aime.
NOTICE
When the honor roll was print
ed in the Salemite two weeks
ago,, Christine Dunn’s name
should have appeared on the B
plus list. Please note the mis
take and correction.

GOSSIP
Gossip is
a small grey mouse
burrowing into
anyone’s house.
It is the darling
pet of her
who strokes its silver
electric fur:
and whispers slyly
“Run, oh run,
discover what
My friend has done!
You can tell sweet tales
if you but hurry!
Purr and pry, my pet,
and scurry!”
Gossip’s a mouse
with beady eyes
and sharp small teeth
and little cries.

“Y.” TEA
Between the hours of four and
five every Sunday afternoon comes
the “gathering of the Clan” in the
“Y.” room. Under supervised help,
refreshments are served to anyone
who would like to attend. The
teas are informal and come as a lift
for dull Sundays. The “Y” also
sponsors teas everyday during ex
am week, which helps to break the
monotony of a day’s study. Differ
ent girls help each time, and in
this way every one has a chance to
help the “Y.” and co-operate in
this work.
