A. on your successful stunt night! The stunts were original; the acting, inspiring; and the costumes, charming. Very special “honorable mention” to the students who contributed the clever ideas for the stunts. “Four bells to the rest who gave their time and energy to make this, our first stunt night, a success. Let’s have stunt night every year! —D. R. Salemites, did you know that the seal which you see on notebooks, pins, stationery, and countless other interesting objects found in the Book Store is not the official college seal! And because of this fact, the seal that you will find some day on your hard-earned sheepskin will not be the one which you are accustomed to seeing. The seal placed on di plomas and other oificial documents of the school is the official one re cognized by the goi'ernment. The seal on the college rings, stationery, and catalogues is the one accepted by tradition. Of course the history of the offi cial seal is obvious; it was given to the school by the government when the charter of incorporation was granted. Only this seal will be ac cepted by the State. The story that lies behind the; traditional seal is more interesting, and its orgin is hidden in mystery. It is believed that the seal w-as de signed by a Salem art student many years ago. Probably the Greek let- tersj “Gamma,” “Kappa,” and ‘ ‘ Delta ” are the initials of a three- worU motto. Once it was the custom for the Bishop to give a motto to each class; so the Greek letters prob ably stand for a proverb, but no one knows what the motto is that was orginally selected. Thus, through the years, the seal was used until its surface became so worn that one could hardly distin guish the Greek letters and the vari ous other parts of the seal. The seal on the rings, the catalogue and .stationary was unreadable. Then Mr. Higgins came on the scene. Having been placed in charge of the publication of the cat alogue, he decided that it was high time something was done about the pitiful condition of the seal. He be gan to search through records and to make inquiries concerning the origin of the seal, ‘ ‘ What is the meaning of the three Greek let tors?” “What is the wave-like line at the top of the shield?” To his first question there was no answer, but various persons obligingly fur nished conjectures about the second Some said that the figure at the top of the shield represented Pilot Moun tain, which can be seen from Salem. Others suggested that it was a pic ture of books of uneven heights placed side-by-side on a shelf. The worn condition of the shield would account for the lines between the books having di.sappeared, leaving a mark resembling a mountain range. Feeling that the “'^book-shelf the ory” was correct, Mr. Higgins de ciphered the letters, and made a clear drawing of the seal. And the cut from which all copies are made is in his office today. Mr. Higgins said that there was only one thing about the seal that MUSIC NOTES mm!- )*5, * I - -11 S '4t * ’’■fi' * ♦ - ' ‘ % ^ ' ' s.A| llpi K it - 4 ' m GRADUATING RECITALS With the arrival of spring at Salem come also the graduating re citals of students majoring in ap plied music.

' COIN FRANCAIS LE COIN FBANgAIS NOCTURNE Nuit d’6te — Sous le ciel de lapis-lazuli, Le pare enchants baigne en des tendbras molles. Les fleurs revent, I’amour se par- fume aux corolles.

Fliites et cordes, I’orchestre est con duit par Lull: Les madrigaux parmi les robes assaimSes Offrent, la le’vre en coeur, leurs fadeurs sublimSes; Et sur le lacis d’or des parquets transparents.

At first, the inscription around the edge read, “Salem Academy and College,” but Mr. Higgins removed the “Acad emy.” “I knew the college girls wouldn’t want the Academy name to appear on the College ring, so I took the liberty of divorcing the Acad emy and the College!” The Acad emy uses the same seal for its ring, but the name “Academy” is substi tuted for “College.” A mystery lies behind the story of our traditional seal. Perhaps it was your grandmother who designed the seal; or maybe your mother can remember the meaning of the three Greek letters.
