TO THE NEW STUDENTS
WITH A NOTE TO THE OLD
You who have just entered Salem must realize the re
sponsibilities that are now yours. It is up to you to uphold
the honoi* and traditions of the school by shouldering the duties
that are placed on you now as well as upper-classmen.
Chief among these duties is good sportsmanship. It is
apparent from the small crowd that turned out for hockey prac
tice that few think of this.
Perhaps you have never played hockey before, but there
is no better way to learn than to watch or take part in a prac
tice. And class teams will soon be chosen. Your class needs
your support.
Also, not to be forgotten, is fair play on the field. You
have your code of honor and must not break it.
*
Don’t forget that your school and classmates are de
pending on you.
SPABE TIME
INCREASES -
A new tradition is being formed this year for Salem by
the Chapel Committee, which has turned over the hour of the
first Wednesday chapel of each month to campus organizations.
This hour once a month will be much appreciated by the organi
zations. The Chapel Committee realized the difficulty clubs
have in finding a meeting time when most of the members can
be present and when their particular meeting will not conflict
with others.. It is also an ideal time for day students to meet
as they must all be on the campus during the chapel hour. The
May Day Committee will be able to use this time next spring
to rehearse the May Day pageant. Those who are conducting
the meetings will enjoy being able to have meetings without
feeling that they must rush so that everyone can leave when the
bell rings.
The aeientist ridicules the idea
that kissing shortens life. It just
raiikes the time pass more quickly.
—High Hat.
A girl can always expect a fel
low to be a gentleman first and last
but not always.

LE COIN
FRANCAIS
Pourquoi est-ceque la grande
France est tombSef C’est une ques
tion des plus significatives pour
nous en Amerique. L»' arm^e fran-
5aise etait une des meilleures d'
Europe, une des plus grandes et des
meilleures disciplinees. On a dit
que sa defense etait presque im
pregnable. Mais, quand meme, la
France est tombfie!
La chute etait dfte en partie aux
chefs frangais, mais peut 6tre plus
aux Frangais eux-m6me on s’est
moque de. La possibilitfi d’une
guerre. Personne n’a cru qu'une
guerre fflt possible. Et quand la
guerre a commence, les Frangais
sont restes apathiques. II n’y avait
en Prance, ni enthousiasme ni d6-
sir de se battre pour les croyances
et les ideals du pays. An contraire,
les Franijais ont vu la guerre
comme une nficessite importune, et
I’a sont entrfis comme si c'etait un
travail dfisagreable et trfts ennuy-
ant. C’^tait une erreur enorme. Par-
sequ’on ne peut pas remforter une
victoire sans imagination, audace,
et surtout une croyance constante
et infibranlable en 1’ideal pour la-
quelle on se bat.
On peut attributer la ruine de
la France & 1 ’ absece totale d ’ideals
plutot qvi h 1’absence des armes
n^cessaires. Nous autres Amfiricains
nous flevrious faire attention k ce
qui s’est passe en France, parcequ
’il y a parmi nous le mgme manque
d'ane croyance en une id6al qui
s’est manifests eu France.
IT’S IN THE STARS
You have a tendency to live
too much within yourself. People
brand you as secretive. In nine
case out of ten silence is not
furtiveness; it is merely pride
and often modesty. “Why should
I assume that the world is in
terested in my affairs!” is the
attitude back of your silence.
Few people will understand
you, but most of them will like
you.

BARD’S BOX
LIBRARIES IN AMERICA
• * # *
If you go down to your town’s center and search for its
real wealth.
You’ll pass by the City Hall ... the stores .... the
biggest bank.
And step aside from traffic into a quiet place . . .
The library of your town.
Within its peaceful walls it holds
The best of all that men have thought and dreamed
Since words were first recorded.
It holds the riches of the world.
Here are books that hold the earth, the sea, the sky . . .
Revealed after centuries of men’s labor,
Row upon row they stand, countless generations,
Still living in the songs they sang, the tales they told
While the people of their dreams walk the earth with
every reader.
Alive on printed page is the story of our race
And its slow but upward climb. Here you can read
Of storms that blasted nations, swept the surface of the
earth , . .
And know that they were weathered by men and women
like ourselves.
Here in our town’s library is all that world and life itself.
Thousands strong . . . our libraries stand,
Guardians of the freedom of our thought.
Here a nation’s mind is free to meet
The mind of all the world from its.beginning.
Where else if found such wealth of knowledge and of
pleasure
Given freely to so many human lives?
Where else but here ?

I'm well educated;
’Tis easy to see,

For I have my A.B.

Then, of course, Ph.D.
But I’d chuck it all

THERE SHALL BE
NO NIGHT
By Robert ’ Sherwood
There Shall Be No Night is a
little thing Robert Sherwood dash
ed off last January and February
while the Russians were trying to
blow Finland off the face of Eu
rope. Although the play concerns
the Russo-Finnish War^ it gives ex
pression to Sherwood’s sentiments
concerning all war and its effect
upon the future of mankind.
Thene Shall Be No Night is a re
action ... a rebellion against the
cynical, despairing spirit of Idiot’s
Deligbt. It is a demonstration of
the new spirit . . . the pessimistic
mistrust concerning the power of
mechanical defenses against our
enemies, or more specifically.
Totalitarianism, and an optimistic
faith in the power of man’s uncon-

querable spirit, in his invincible
“aspiration »to dignity, freedom,
and purity in the sight of God.”
Man can find the means of redemp
tion in his, new-found consciousness.
This is the “message” that Sher
wood embodys in There Shall
No Night. Just in case there might
arise any doubt about what he is
trying to say in the play, he has
prefaced it with a detailed ex
planation of his meaning which
could be understood by any ten
year old.
