SOUTH HIALL’S
ART GALtERY
The walls of the study room in South Hall looked pretty-
bare to the day students. To remedy this situation a group
of girls spent an hour rearranging the furniture ( which con
sists of two shelves, table&, and chairs) and hanging a series of
pictures on the wall to the left as- one enters the door. These
pictures, although not of artistic interest, are still evidences
of a genuine desire to make South Hall more attractive and
enjoyable.
Along with the “art gallery” is a. table upon which can
t)e found popular and educational magazines for leisure read
ing. The day students themselves contribute to this periodical
table.
There are other evidences also that the Day Students
as an organization are active. A new lamp and a new radio in
the social room, both of which the Day Students have bought,
add much to the improvement of South Kail.

OPPORTUNITY —
IGNORE OR NOT IGNORE?
During the school year Salem is fortunate in having many
features, in addition to the regular school routine from which
the student can derive much benefit. They are offered to us, but
we are often prone to lay them asride thoughtlessly, excusing
ourselves with the poor alibi of lack of time.
The lecture series is one of those features that should
be enthusiastically received by every Salemite. Madame Sigrid
TTndset, nobel prize winner, was the first lecturer.
Leland Stowe, famous newspaper correspondent, will be
the next speaker. Following him will be Thomas Graver, bril
liant art critic, and John Mason Brown, renowned drama critic,
will complete the series.
Certainly the selection of speakers could not be any bet
ter, and yet we often forfeit the opportunity to hear them.
Oan the game room be more attractive than a person who has
gained fame in his lifework? The game room is always open,
but it is only through great effjort and expense that these out
standing speakers are brought to us.
^t us have bigger turnouts for these reasons. An hour
spent in the presence of a famous personality is much more
valuable than an hour in the classroom.

ACADEMY NEWS
The Pi Delta Phi dramatic club
of Salem Academy presented the
play, “They Are None of the Per
fect” last Wednesday night in the
social room of the Mary Patterson
Building.
The plot of the play was about
a young girl about to get married
and her friends, who insisted on
presenting a very pessimistic view
of marriage to her. For novelty the
production had three conclusions
and the audience was given the
chance to choose the most suitable
ending.
Miss Helen Copenhaver, a facul
ty member of the Academy, direct
ed the play. In the cast were:
Yvonne Stewart of Charlotte; Mary
Margaret Pack, Beaumont, Texas;
Jackie Burns, Charlotte; Julia Con
stantine, Birmingham, Ala.; Peggy
Joise Mee, Cleveland, Tenn.; Lou
ise Landstreet, Huntington, W. Va.;
and Euth Watson, Rocky Mount.
The students on the property
committee were: Ann Cheney, Ma-
moroneck, N. Y., chairman; Mar
garet Parsons, Tampa, Fla.; and
Joy Gilbert, Hartsville, 8. C.
BARD’S BOX
LOVE’S FAREWELL
Since there’s no help, come let us kiss and part.
Nay, I have done, you get no more of me!
And I am glad, yea, glad with all my heart,
That thus so cleanly I myseK can free.
Shake hands for ever! Cancel all our vows!
And when we meet at any time again,
Be it not seen in either of our brows
That we one jot of former love retain.
Now at the last gasp of Love’s latest breath,
When, his pulse failing, Passion speechless lies,
When Faith is kneeling by his bed of death,
And Innocence is closing up his eyes —
Now, if thou would’st, when all have given him over,
From death to life thou might’st him yet recover!
—Michael Drayton.
SCIENCE NEWS
At the regular Thursday meeting
of the bacteriology class the pic
ture, “The Water We Drink,”
was shown. Students outside of the
class interested in this sort of
thing were invited.
This picture in technicolor show
ed the various methods of purify
ing drinking water now employed
in the various cities of the United
States. The motion picture was
shown through the courtesy of the
Winston-Salem water department.

The members of the Science De
partment have received question
naires from the National Resources
Planning Board of the government
requesting detailed information of
their training, experience, and sug
gestions as to where they could
best aid in the new defense pro
gram. Professor Higgins has also
received from the same board re
quest for a list of students major
ing in chemistry in order that they
may be listed in this defense work
for the work for which they are
best trained.
Salem faculty and students are
thus beginning to see definite evi
dence of the new defense program.
IT’S IN THE STARS
Are you a saint or a sinner?
You have the makings of both,
for your sign bestows great pow
ers on its children and some
times those powers are devoted
to noble causes and sometimes
they’re linked with forces of
evil.
More presidents of the United
States have been born under
this sign than any other of the
Zodiac. They had the will to rise
above their fellow men.
People whose birthdays are
during this period have more
forces for good and for evil than
the average person. They are
born under the most powerful
sign and the most energetic
one.

MUSIC NOTES
MUSIC HOUR
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! ’Tis
four by the old church clock and
all’s well. The square and its sur
rounding community lie in compar
ative quietness, and the only aud
ible sound comes from leaves as
they fall to the ground. Brusquely
the wind stirs up the leaves and
pushes them into little piles, and
the stillness is broken a little more
by a few people who are trudging
to Memorial Hall. Some are actual
ly hurrying—wonder what for?
Suddenly the stillness and quiet
ude is rent by magical sounds that
strangely enough sound like music,
and then we remember! It’s Thurs
day and this is Music Hour. Why
did we forgot to go? We thought
about it cause we had planned to(
hear Susie when she ventured out
on that big stage and made her
musical debut. (They say it’s a
good half-mile from the side door
to that grandfather piano!) The
first music hour had a wonderful
program—it was this:
Prelude and Fugue
in F major Bach
Mrs. J. E. Purcell
Courante in G Handel
Elizabeth Godbey
Non so piu, cosa son Mozart
Becky Nifong
Evening Whispers Palmgren
Margaret Leinbach
Phyllis has such charming
graces Young
Jennie Linn
Le petit' ane blanc Ibert
Johnsie Moore
Chorale in A Minor Franck
Margaret Vardell
Jeux d’Eau Ravel
Sarah Linn
A Pastoral Carey
Johnsie Bason
Concerto in G minor....Mendelssohn
(Fir.st two movements)
Tom Houts
Next Thursday when the clock in
the tower dings four, we’ll be on
our way to Memorial Hall. Just
you wait and see — on secon3
thought, wouldn’t you like to come
too?
