Club, Monday night, Gladys Blackwood, Marvel Campbell, Lib Nelson and Barbara Norman were appointed to head the (Slfferent groups for making the May Day costumes. After the, meeting, Mrs. Meinung, head of the Home Ec. department showed pictures and gave a very interesting lecture about her trip to Canada and Los Angeles with the American Dietetics i^ociation. She started out from New Vork and Chicago, and from there went to Banff National Park in Canada. There is an alpine view from every window of the hotel of the park which contains regions of alpine grandeur which are probably unsur passed. The park also embraces a veritable “sea of mountains” and many glaciers. The Columbian Ice field which is 150 square miles in extent and is a remnant of the Ice Age is probably the greatest of these glaciers. Included in the park is Lake Louise which was named for Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria and wife of Duke of Cav- nagh, former governor of Canada. At the time,that Mrs. Meinung was at Banff, Princes Louise was living, but she has since died at the age of 93. The park contains the town of Banff, Lake Minnewanka, Mor aine Lake, Bow Lake, an dthe Mt. Assinboine region. The beautiful colors of the flowers are indescrib able, and the waters of the lakes were an unusual shade of green due to the copper sulphate present. The Great Divide, the point at which the Atlantic and Pacific ocellns meet, was another very interesting spot which Mrs. Meinung visited. This Divide separates Alberta from Brit ish Columbia, and the waters of the tw^o great oceans meet on top of the mountain. Flowing east is the Bow Kiver, South, Saskatchewan River, Assiniboine River, and the Hudson Bay to the Atlantic Ocean — West — Wapla River, Kicking Horse Riv er, and Columbia River to the Pa cific Ocean. From Banff Park, the group went to Vancouver, Victoria, and Seattle where the s a w Mount Rainer and the Mount Rainer Nation al Park. The region of this park is 3770 square miles and was set aside in 1899 by President McKinley. While there, they saw the famous Douglas fir trees, some of which were 8 feet thick, 5(K) feet high, and 700 years old. (Continued on Page Four) NEWS The much anticipated Spring is almost here, and so is the equally anticipated Dr. Harnell Hart of Duke. He will arrive on Salem campus shortly after five o’clock Monday afternoon to be with us un til Friday. The “ Y ” feels quite elated over the fact that it is pos sible to engage him for this Relig ious Emphasis Week. Don’t let the Spring fever get in your brain because Dr. Hart wants to hear your problems and questions. You may make appointments thro ugh members of the ‘ ‘ Y” cabinet. Beginning this week you will have to help nominate and elect your student officers. Never let it be said that you were so foolhardy as to give your vote to a girl just because you like her. In a college it sliould be true more so than in any other place that elections are controlled by the intellect rather than the emotion. Remember that the girl you vote for is going to serve you, and then you will vote for a girl according to her ability rather than her popularity. ' We all represent Salem, but our officers are pointed out by others as the girls picked by the Salem Student-Body to hold positions of leadership. —M. M. H. AMERICA IS A VERY DULL PLACE SMUiE “Smile and the vrorld smiles with you.” Periiaps many of us have heard this old saying, but how many of us put it into practice ? If you happen to have spring fever, and you are overtaken by laziness, remember that it takes twice as much energy to frown than to smile. Now that spring is coming let us have spring cleaning and clean the gloomy expressions from our faces. -S. H. SUGGESTION BOXES Each year, as members of the Student Government Asso ciation of Salem we are given the privilege of suggesting im provements which, we think, would make our school a better one. Our suggestions are welcomed by the Advisory Board; for, although 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 oppor tunity such as this. Salem’s “Suggestion Box” is waiting: let’s take advantage of the chance to express our opinions. (Continued From Page One) elegantly or as cheaply as he wish es — eating expensive delicacies, or corn-beef and cabbage. The company started out at the Metropolitan this season and will end up March 17th at the Metropoli tan again. Then there will be week’s vacation after which an another tour will beg^n. As time goes on more and more Americans are being added to the group. Now the percentage is about 50-50, “Americans are very good dancers and they have caught the spirit al ways present, in a group such as this. The Russian .ballet has be come a tradition, end dancing in it means a new thrill at every per formance — every performance is like a festival.” “I hope I’ve answered all your questions. Good-bye. ” That wa the last of the Baron and there sat — stranded again. A boy whose grease-paint made him look quite fragile was perched on the opposite end of the clothes basket on which I was sitting. He was Yugoslavian but spoke very good English. Al though he had traveled with th Ballet Russe for, four years he had few very close friends in it and re plied that he didn’t particularly want to have. “There are people from cultured, wealthy families here — and' there are nobodies — it’s pretty good cross-section — we havi everybody.” He said that he hoped he danced ’til he was an old man, when his joints got too stiff to move. Then he walked away and soon the fifteen year old sat down. He was a whitfe Russian. I blaljbed on at o terrific rate at his rather blank face ’til a china-doll leaned down and told me to speak very slowly and distinctly, since the boy was just learning the language. He listened well, spoke his few words with a twinkle in his eye, and said, when MJonday evening, about one hun dred girls from the Industrial De partment of the City Y. W. C. A. came out to the college to partici pate in the Inter-racial Relations program. During the evening, maps were passed out and colored accord ing to the negro population of each state. Short reports were given about important Negroes by Salem Students and Industrial girls. This was the last of the “ Y ” programs with the Industrial girls of the city for this year. he had to go on stage. “Please ex cuse me. I must go. Good-bye.” He left me, strange to say, feeling a bit melancholy, even in the midst of all the color of the set and of the costumes. All of a sudden I looked up and the “King of hearts,” with long red curls was standing be side me. He was Boritch —* another Russian, but a twenty-two year old who could call Paris, England, and New Y'ork his home. “No I def initely don’t want to dance all tho rest of my days. But I have to do something. I have a mother and younger brothers in London to sup port.’ ’ Someday he’d like to do nothing, but have money (his own money) with which to live a life of leisure. ‘ ‘ Some day a star will fall from heaven and bring me all that I hav'e wanted.” Zaritch has traveled in all thfe countries of the world, and, as climax, he finds America very dull. Americans don’t know how to live. They get up, go to work, eat, come home, go to a mov'ie. And they don’t seem to know whatf they’re missing. There is so terribly much more in life than most Americans seem to see. New York is the only jjlace in your country that seems exciting and thrilling and stimula ting. Life is too short to sit around like you people in the south do.’-’ When it was time for him to go on stage I felt as if a person very essential for Americans to know was walking away from me. ‘ * someda.i' when my star falls from heaven. I’ll write to you and tell you. Then maybe you’ll believe me.” Back in the audience again, I look ed at the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. But it was not not with the same eyes as before. They were the most real people I’d ever met. YOUR HOROSCOPE TELLS — BIRTHDAYS March 9-15 March 11 — Margaret McGehee March 13 — Mary Alice King Liz,zie Sartin.
