Exams are but five days away. Unless you are endowed with an extraordinary power of concentration you will consider the library little better adapted to study than is the green room. Of couree, this is exaggeration. But if we do not have to study then let’s not go to the library. Light in the reading room is excellent. There is certain ly no more convenient or appropriate place on the campus in which to work. Let’s be quiet foi' once in our lives. When we go into the library door let’s remember for what we are supposed to be there -— at least dni-ing exams! —K. K. THIS YEAR AND NEXT Again another year in Salem’s long history is fast draw ing to a close. The high spots of the year are presented in this issue, and each of you can see the accomplishments and ad vancements in every phase of activity at Salem — curricular, cultural, religious, social, and athletic. Your own evaluation of the past year at Salem will dis close many assets and evidences of progress. But you will probably find in addition some liabilities and signs of retrogres sion. Perhaps you will see lack of student interest in one case, lack of idealism in another, emphasis wrongly placed in still another. Aaid because you love Salem and everything for which it stands you are interested in correcting anything which might hinder Salem from reaching its fullest attainment. Realizing that a college paper serves its institution best when it stimulates constructive thinking by reflecting the opin ions of the student body, the editors of the Salemite hope that the paper w’ill be an effective organ of opinion on the campus. Through numerous open forum articles and monthly gallup polls, each one of you will be able next year to express your ideas for building an even greater Salem. While you are resting and playing this summer, think con structively about Salem. Compare your school wdth other in stitutions, your “Salemite” with other school papers, your “Sights and Insights” with other annuals, your student gov ernment, Y. W. C. A., Athletic Association, Pierrette Players, and other organization with similar groups on other campuses. You will find that Salem is superior to other schools in many ways, but you will also discover many new ideas for improve ments that will make Salem an even better place. So when you return to Salem in the fall bring with you — in addition to a grand-looking sun tan and a new fall wardrobe — a trunk-full of constructive ideas for advancement. Then present your sug- COIN FRANCAIS SONNET AU LECTEUE Jusqu’i present, lectuer, suiv'ant 1’antique usage, •le te disais bonjour i la premie re page. Mou livre, cette fois, se ferme moins gaienient; En verite, ce siScle est un niauvais moment.

After an exciting and closely match ed tournament, the Juniors and Sophomores tied for possession of the cup. The Touring Team represented Salem at two hockey conferences. The first was held at Williamsburg, Virginia, where the Salemites de feated their opponents, thus showing up well against the more experienc ed Virginia teams. At the North Carolina Hockey Tournament held at W. C. U. N. C. in Greensboro, the Salem girls won three games and lost one. Three of the players won positions on the All-State Hockey Varsity—Jane Kirk, Sallie Emerson, and Betty Barbour^and two won places on the All-State Second Team —Geraldine Baynes and Lillian Lan- ning. The winner of the fall archery tournament w-as Jane Kirk. The golfers continued their activities throughout the entire fall, until cold weather finally forced them to take time out until spring. In spite of numerous injuries among the basketball veterans, the Salem cagers showed interest from the first, and the floor was crowded at all the practiccs. The A Tourna ment cau.sed great interest and ex- cite^ment among the entire student body because the teams were evenly matched and earh player was deter mined to win for her team—the gal lery was packed for each game. The Sophomores won the coveted cham pionship, while the Junior team came through to win first place in the B Tournament. Following exciting team games, the individual sports again came into predominance. Anne Long defeated “Toenie” McGehee for the Badmin ton singles, and Ruth Schnedl and Sallie Emerson cooped the doubles title, winning over Ann Ewing and Agatha Walker. Late snows and frequent rains de layed the inauguration of the spring sports. But a few brave souls ven tured out in April, and after May Day had done away with any fur ther cause for rain, the outdoor fans took over in earnest. Now Salem looks like a country club—with sun- bathers watching the more energetic archers, golfers, swimmers, and ten nis players. At present, the spring tennis tournament is well under way, and the finish promises to be an in teresting one. Now that the golf professional is giving lessons every evening after gestions and ideas through “The Salemite.” Your ideas may start someone else thinking — and with a thinking, active, wide-awake student body, we cannot stand still! —(The Editors). MUSIC NOTES Original compositions by students of the School of Music were present ed Thursday afternoon at 4 o’clock in Memorial Hall at the weekly mu sic hour.

Ten compositions for voice and piano were presented from Dr. Var- dell’s class in composition. The com plete program follows: Prelude in the Phrygian Mode Poco Scherzaudo Elegiac Prelude Minuet and Trio C:^,rolyii Creson Margaret Leinbach Two Dreams Tom Houts Minuetto grazioso Capriccio Scherzo Christine Dunn Helen Savage The Faery Forest Carolyn Creson Rhapsody Tom Houts Gloria in excelsis Deo (Part 1) Helen Savage Re.sponse Betty Jane Nalley Gloria in excelsis Deo (Part II) Johnsie Moore Alarian Johnson, Conductor PIERRETTE OFFICERS President: Wyatt Wilkinson.

Nolf, President of the Belgian Red Cross, in which he acknowledges receipt of our ini tial grant of $100,000, and states that “these funds come at a most opportune time and will be used where the need is great.” As pointed out by President Roose- \ elt in his message to Congress yesterday May If!, 1940, we now be gin to realize what a swift and hor rible thing modern war can be. With the use of mechanized motor units, parachute troops dropping behind lines, heavy aerial bombardments, and incendiary bombs, whole coun tries can be overrun in a few days’ time. In this war, the firing is no longer confined to tha front lines. Bombs rain death upon whole civil ian populations with terrifying reg ularity. Innocent men, women and children, including the aged and sick, find themselves bewildered and overwhelmed. It is to the rescue of these persons that the Red Cross is rushing all the assistance it can muster. It is for this humane cause that the American people are asked to contribute $10,000,000. The Win ston-Salem Chapter’s share of the goal is $17,000. Some contributions have already been made. A great many more are needed immediately. We are all asked to do our part, however large or small it may hap pen to be. Contributions may be made direct to the Red Cross Office in the basement of the City Hall, or they may be put in the box in the Dean’s office. dinner, we should have more and better golfers next year, with more Salemites winning tournaments, as did Betsy Moffitt in Lexington this spring. The riding class has been larger than usual this year, and interest has riin high, especially since the girls now go to Sedgefield once a week to ride. Our thanks should go to Gerry Baynes who has headed a very effi cient council which has made this athletic year at Salem one of the best.
