My voice sounded loud, clear and often. I was convinced that never had there been, never would there be anything worse. Then one day when the bell rang, I surprised a “so soon?” expression on the face of a fellow hockey-hater. When I had recovered frota this discovery and was rushing (with what wind I had left) up the stairs, I realized that the period had seemed short. Gosh! It was fun! We wei'e forced to give hockey a chance. If only we would do that with everything! RULES By Louis Bromfield Night in Bombay is an entertain ing, sometimes sordid novel con cerning a heterogeneous group of sophistocates gathered at the garish Tai Mahal Hotel in Bombay. In this novel, Louis Bromfield shows us how love can change a hard- drinking, pleasure-seeking young so- phistocate into a loving unselfish woman . . . the love-does-anything motiff. Carol Halma is the metamorpho- sized bar-fly. Marriage is a possible way out of her dilemna. But whom to marry? It is a difficult problem, but Mr. Bromfield solves it neatly. One will have to hand it to Louis Bromfield for the skillful manner in which he picks up the many threads of his intricate plot and weaves them at last into a story . . . fast- moving tale that doesn’t let you down once . . . until you’ve finish ed. Then you come back to the realties of life, feeling as though you had awakened from a pleasant if somewhat fantastic dream. If Night in Bombay entertains you for the moment, Louis Brom- fleld has accomplished his purpose in writing it. The book was written purely for enjoyment and relax ation. There is no pretense at pro found or special significance, no attempt to force you to think. If you do not demand much intellec tuality in your reading Night in Bombay will make a good choice. (A. B.) I BARD’S BOX GOTHE SAID Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute, I What you can do, or think you can, BEGIN IT g Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it, g Only engage and then the mind grows heated « BEGIN and then the work’s completed. Rules are made by the idea of giving the greatest good to the largest number. One may, as an individual, think more of his personal freedom than he does of others. An illustration: Mr. Smith owns a car. He is proud of that car. He likes to take it out on the highway and show his friends how he can get ninety out of it. One day he encounters a highway patrolman. In spite of his protest he is given a summons. He knows a public official whom he calls upon. The ticket is fixed. Mr. Smith may be perfectly normal in every other capac ity, but he has debased his citizenship. This seems to be the attitude of some students who make rule-dodging a vocation. Rules — and Salem has few a school. Are you a rule-dodger? contribute character to GET TO GIVE AND VICE VERSA An excellent way to determine the true nature of an individual is his or her ability to live in social groups with his fellowman. Through fellowship that which is vital in student life and after school life is shared in a way that is beneficial to any progressive community life. The stimulations found in working and conversing with oth ers of like interest invariably produces ideas that just one person might have spent a life time in conceiving. We all should wish to get all that there is to be obtained from these things that make up our lives. Join the group which interests you most, then give and get all there is to be had.

Students will be informed of any deficien cies in their work in order that improvement may be made in a definite direction in the future. IT’S IN THE STARS November 2 - November 7 Mars rules this house from be ginning to end, and his strength is not always peaceful, but it is forceful. A defeat today may plunge you into despondency, but you are back on your feet tomorrow, optimism completely restored. There’s no keeping you down. When you’re up, you’re up; when you’re down, you’re down —but you’re never down for long. You have courage, power, and aggressiveness, but take care that these qualities do not make you become intolerant and con ceited.

Just a little over a year ago, .lean Holloway, an attractive 20- year-old junior at the San Jose State Teachers College in Cali fornia, packed up her books and clothes, and left for New York to become an actress. Jean had done some writing, mostly for local Cali fornia radio stations, but she thought she liked acting better. But New York acting jobs are few, and between futile trips to producers’ offices, Jean found time to turn out another radio script and submit it to an advertising agency. There Ted Collins, Kate Smith’s manager and master of ceremonies on her CBS program, saw it. Collins liked the script, bought it, and pro duced it on the Kate Smith pro gram, with Helen Menken starring. He asked Jean for more scripts, all of which were equally good. This year, Jean Holloway is un der contract' to write all the orig inal dramas and adaptions to be used on the “Kate Smith Hour.” It is one of radio's most important writing assignments, and Jean is naturally very happy about it—but she still-wants to be an actress. There was once a lady who named her triplets Surely, G-oodness and Mercy; so they would be hers all the days of her life. Say it v\rith will that may be called good And do a job well as another could Let’s all pull together Elach one for the other Make for happiness, achievement, if not—why bother? MUSIC NOTES MUSIC HOUR Thursday afternoon at the reg ular Music Hour, Dr. Vardell gave a most interesting talk on “Music and Words.” He showed the rela tion of the spoken word to music and used as illustrations the music of the Greeks, the Gregorian Chant and the Troubadours. Next Thursday, November 7, the second students recital of the year will be given. RADIO PROGRAMS Saturday, Nov. 2, 1940. 10:00 P. M.

Although he looks about six, he really is about ten. But for all his smallness he is loved by everyone, including the staff, even th,ough he continually gets into mischief. Peter is truly a worthy receiver of the interest of the Y. W. C. A. at Salem. This is the comment of one who knows Peter, the little orphan that the “Y” helps to support. Soon we will be sending him his Christmas present. The support of Peter comes under the work of the “Y” Com mittee on World Fellowship. This is just one of the many things how ever, that this committee does. EARNEST EPIC Miss Bryddie, I holpen thilke epic you will rede And haf pitaunce and thes-on pai hede.
