THEY’RE READY
FOR USE —
Have you played any tennis since the courts were lined
and the nets put up ? Have you played any golf since the golf
course was mowed? Miss “At” has gone to a great deal of
trouble to see that the tennis courts were fixed and the golf
course mowed. Since these warm spring days call us outside,
let’s make good use of this opportunity to enjoy ourselves.
Let’s show Miss “At” how much we appreciate her efforts,
by using the tennis courts and golf -course.

MORE ABOUT OUR
SEAL
ON
BORROWING
“Do you have a pair o,f scissors?”
“Yeah, they’re in the closet.”
Three weeks later — “Now, who walked out of here
with my scissors?” After yelling at the top of our voice to
any one who happens to be on the hall, and after nosing into
several rooms, we finally locate a pair of scissors that bear
some resemblance to ours. But then ours weren’t bent, and
they didn’t have dried soup all over the blades. They were
fairly respectable scissors, and we were particularly fond of
then. We mumble a while and then decide that these will
be better than none. We take them and walk out.
Salemites, we aren’t preaching, but if we start swapping
and returning and clearing out now, maybe we can begin to
have a pretty good idea where some of the things we brought
here in September are. After all, we will be here only six more
w'eeks, and unless we do something now, we will have quite a
bit of confusion locating lost and dropped articles before we
leave.
By the way, I wonder whose ink this is that I’m using ?

SHOW THE HIGH-SCHOOL-ER’S
YOUR SALEM SPIRIT
As we learned Monday night in house-meeting, this week
end the college is to entertain high school seniors who are pros
pective Salem students. Naturally our cordiality will be all-im
portant at this time. The campus is doing its part by growing
more lovely every day; so let’s be as enthusiastic and make
these prls want to know and love Salem as we do.

Attention, Salemites! The mystery
surrounding the traditional seal has
been solved! The article in last
week’s “Salcmito” regarding the
Salem seal caught the attention of
Mrs. Rondthaler, and she sent in
some additional information con
cerning the seal, the gist of which
I will pass on to you.
Mrs. Rondthaler tells us that the
Salem seal which is not the official
seal of the college was drawn by
Dorothy Doe, a member of the class
of 1907, and that the design was
made expressly as a decorative seal
for the 1907 Sights and Insights.
Dorothy drew it as the class pre
scribed, “the Pilot Mountain at the
top standing for strength, the
Scroll for Knowledge, and the
Wreath for Peace.”
Throughout the years, the Pilot
Mountain has dissolved into a row
of books. Mrs. Rondthaler said that
she has recently had some corres
pondence with a member of the class
of 1907 about the seal, and although
the class “deplores the loss of the
mountain, still they admit that a
row of books is very appropriate to
Salem College.”
Dorothy Doe, the designer of the
seal, is now Mrs. Ryman of New
York City, and is a native of Ashe
ville. She was not only a Salem
girl, but a teacher at Salem for
several years.
We appreciate Mrs. Rondthaler's
information about the seal, for this
additional knowledge makes the seal
even more interesting to us.
There seems still to be some my
stery as to the meaning of the three
Greek letters, Gamma,Kappa, and
Delta; and if any of you know what
they stand for, we would appreciate
your letting us know about it.

LA. CIOA££TTE
Oui, ce monde est bien plat: quant &
I’autre, sornettes.
Moi, je vais rfisigne sans espoir ^
mon sort,
Et pour tuer le temps, en attendant
la mort,
Je fume au nez des dieux de fines
cigarettes.
Allez, vivants, luttez, pauvres futurs
squelettes.
Moi, le mSandre bleu qui vers le
ciel se tord
Me plonge en une extase infinie et
m’endort
Comme un parfum mourant de mille
cassolettes.
Bt j’entre au paradis, fleuri de rgves
clairs
Ou I’on voit se meler en valses
fantastiques
Des 616phants en rut S, des choeurs
de moustiques.
Et puis quand je m’gveille en son-
geant k mes vers,
Je contemple, le coeur plein d’une
douce joie,
Mon cher pouce roti comme une
cuisse d’oie.
—Jules LaForgue.
