SUGGESTION
BOX
OPEN FORUM
BOY’S TOWN
520 S. Main Street
Winston-Salem, N. C.
February 28, 1940.
PUBLIC NOTICE TO WHOM IT
MAY CONCEEN,
PAETICULABLy TO THE STATT
OF THE SALEM SAIiEMZTE
Each year, as mem'bers of the Student Government Asso
ciation of Salem we are given the privilege of suggsting im-
provments which, we think, would make our school a better one.
Our suggestions are welcomed by the Advisory Board; for, al
though every idea submitted cannot be followed through, the
college is undoubtdly benefited by the students views.
At only a few colleges are the students offered an op
portunity such as this. Salem’s “Suggestion Box is waiting:
let’s take advantage of the chance to express our opinions.
‘IF WINTEE
COMES . .
Be it known that the eight young
men, good and true, who live at 520
South Main Street, the place known
variously as “Boy’s Town,” “The
House of Eight Gables,” and “Bach
elor Brother’s House,” have been
grossly insulted in a most unseemly,
untimely and untoward manner.
Certain references to certain dwell
ers of the above-iiientioned house
have been made from time to time,
especially last week, by the Salemite,
a weekly and ungrammatical publi
cation edited by students of Salem
College.
An insinuation was made that the
young men who live in the house
may be termed “bums.” By no
figment of the imagination could
such a term be applied to the boys
at 520, and they deniand an apology,
retraction, restitution and the assur
ance that whatever is said in the
future about them in the columns of
the Salemite shall be favorable, con
gratulatory and in a spirit of praise.
It was said that Salem girls are
wont to giggle when they pass Boy’s
Town. It was mentioned by one of
us that he formerly went to the win-
down and threw up the sash to see
what the noise was about outside;
but our informant tells us that he
has now ceased to go to the window.
He is able to detect a Salem College
giggle from other varieties, and he
stated that it was not worth his
time to engage in further investiga
tion when he heard unusual noises
going on outside the house.
What is the world coming tot Do
we have to endure the wretched
taunts of adolescent female under
graduates? Just because they have
the power of the press, shall they
have the privilege of slinging ink
and besmirching the characters of
the finest group of young men as
ever double-crossed a fair maid?
ICease your journalistic poison ar
rows. Desist from your rankings
when they are desultory to Boy’s
Town. Don’t do it any more. Cut it
out.
Indignantly,
THE BOYS.
King Winter certainly has been our never-ending visitor
this year. Out of doors there has been, either the crumple of
snow or a downpour or drizzling of rain, intermingled with a
cutting and forceful wind — scarcely any sunshine at all.
Inside everything seems to go wrong nine-tenths of the
time. We would like to do anything except study, but to be
frank with ourselves we don’t know just what we want. Every
body appears to go against us, and if anyone speaks to us in a
way we don’t quite like, we almost knock her down with our
unkind, cutting remarks. To tell the truth, we have almost
decided we don’t like anyone in the world — not even our
selves.
When we feel dreary as a result of the gloomy weather,
there is always one sound consolation. In Shelley’s “Ode to
the West Wind” he isays, “If winter comes, can spring be far
behind!” At least we certaialy hope not! ;

Voioi I’StI; le soleil rit;
Le ciel n’est plus d’un vilain gris.
II vient de mettre sa parure d’or.
Le soleil brille; I’hiver est mort.
J’entends le chant du gai pinson.
L’^cureuil crie “Venez, dansons.”
II fait si beau dans lea grands bois,
AprSs I’hiver et ses longs mois.

TRIBUTE
I love you not only for what you
are, but for what I am when I am
with you.
I love you not only for what you
have made of yourself, but for
what you are making of me.
I love you for the part of me that
you bring out.
I love you for putting your hand in
my heaped up heart and passing
over all the foolish and frivolous
and weak things which you cannot
help dimly seing there, and for
drawing out into the light all the
beautiful, radiant belongings that
no one else had looned quite far
enough to see.
I love you for ignoring the possibil
ities of the fool and weakling in
me, and for laying firm hold on the
possibilities of good in me.
I love you for closing your eyes to
the discords in me, and for adding
to the music in me, by worshipful
listening.
I love you because you are helping
me to make of the lumber of my
life not a tavern but a temple, and
of the words of my every day not
a reproach, but a song.
I love you because you have done
more than any creed could have
done to make me good and more
than any fate could have done to
make me happy.' You have done it
just by being yourself.
