The old and the traditional comes into prominence in Salem chapel programs this week. Dr. Rondthaler’s annual reading of the Christmas story took place as it has for many years past in the expanded chapel before vacation. Thursday another Salem conventionalism was upheld in the vote for the May Queen. Next Tuesday we shall enjoy as we have for many years a program of Christmas carols given by the German Club. All these combined with the beautiful stirring organ music and the Christmas hymns go to make these chapel presentations colorful, inspiring and memorable. A FEW MORE DAYS It has been impressed on us to remember the rules of the school during these last few days before Christmas holidays and to be careful about the smallest regulation. We should be particularly cautious as it is very easy to forget during the holiday excitement. If we do observe the requirements, then we can go home and have a wonderful Christmas and forget there are such things as rules and regulations. —M. P. OHEISTMAS 1940 A. D. “Peace On Earth, Goodwill Toward Men.” Again at this Christmas season we are reminded of this ever-popular quota tion. Again we take stock of the world conditions of today. Again wa take stock of ourselves. Certainly this Christmas we look for that peace with hopeless hearts. That peace has fled from a world embedded in the chaos of war and destruction. Though chaos reigns around us we can keep the fire of peace burning within our souls. The hysteria of war cannot traverse the impregnable soul. There we can keep the feeling of peace. By this precaution and self-fortification we can help remedy this world tragedy. Only calm thinking, sane action, and righteous way of living can divert the approaching monster. I/et us keep this in mind. Let us remember that America is the only remaining stronghold of peace. Let us keep it that way and reverently pray that soon we will have, “Peace On Earth, Goodwill Toward Men.” —H. H. LE COIN F Peut-etre que beaucoup d’entre voua ont entendu la radio diffusion do la pi6ce qu’on a presentee 1’- aprSsmidi du dimanche pass6. Cette pi6ce etait Le Cid ecrite par Pierre Corneille. Puisque Le Old est une des pidcc.s les plus importantes et interessantes de la litterature fran- §aise, discutons-en les eirconatances II no s’agit pas ici d’une confer ence sur la litterature mais plut6t des choses que toutes les jeunes filles savent d6j&. Avant d’ecrire Le Cid Corneille n’avait pas eu de succ6s avec son. type de tragedie, qui etait essen- tialeement classique. II a empruntS I’histoire du Cid ^ I’Espagne (Cid vcut dire heros en espagnol); et dans la pifece 11 vait la question de 1 'amour et du devoir qui fait pas ser toute I’action-et il y a beau coup d’action dans la pifece. Le Cid a . ete iiiimediatement ao- cepte par la publique mais pas par les critiques litteraires; et il en a recoulte la fameuse querelle du CID. Mais eiifin la beaute de la pifece a donnfi naisaance a une ex pression flatteuse: “Cela est beau comme Le Cid.” irS IN THE STARS You have a taste for gambling. Nothing in the world has more zest for you than placing bets on your own hunches — and you generally win! You are as in tuitive as a eat. No one need tell you when there’s a mouse in the corner. For this reason you are a life-saver in emergen cies. You adore discussing peo ple, but you’re not a gossip. You have a philosophical bent of your mind which relishes character analysis. However you are not I>erfect, and your greatest fault is being too frank.

New tape to mend his broken pipes for Pan, A rainy night, and benches in the park, And rows of dreams put up in jars Like jellies are . . . and one lamp for the dark. And bright new words for all the rhymes I write, A few old songs I’d like to hear again. Some cups for tea, an amber shade or red, A frosted cake for dinner now and then. If I had stars the things I’d buy are many . . . I can’t do much ... I’m shopping on a penny! —^Helen Welshimer, “Singing Drums” RADIO PROGRAMS Saturday, December 14, 1940. Tho- Masked Ball by Verdi.

M. program Symphony in D minor Frank Ballade, Polnaise Viextemps Nocturne, “Colombe” Franchetti Second Rhapsody Enesco CHANCE FOR EDITOR? Judging from the conversation to follow, maybe our editor does stand a chance: ‘ ‘ What have you done, ’ ’ Saint Peter asked, ‘ ‘ That I should admit you here?” “I ran a paper,” the editor said, “At my school for one long year.” Saint Peter pityingly shook his head. And gravely rang the bell, “Come in, you poor thing, select a harp, “You’ve had your share.” THE “Y’s” WORK As in other years, the Social Service Committee of the “Y” is giving Christmas baskets to the Burge family and also to the laun dresses of the college. The balloons used to decorate the gym for dance Saturday night were taken to the small children at The Children’s Home. In the “Y” room there is a Christmas tree, under which gifts, both old and new, are put which will be distributed to families by the “Y.” Patronize our advertisers you’ve gotta shop somewhere! NOTE This week’s Salemite was edited by Carrie Donnell, asso ciate editor for 1940. COULD IT BE CHRISTMAS? (The poet requests that his identity be kept silent, however, he couldn’t object to our saying that — Prom being at classes several times He gets his information A tall and dark professor, he With legal inclination. —^Ed’s Note). The attendance on class appears to be normal And the teachers’ lectures are prodigiously formal. But the minds of the “students” are miles apart Dreaming of loved ones who are close to their heart. / The library’s chairs are little used And the books therein are scarcely persued — Except, of course, when a paper long due Must be hastily finished with a reference or two. Out on the campus there is a continual clatter Of exuberant laughter and holiday chatter. Suggestions galore for the girls, and kids’ toys. But what on earth can we get for Dad and the boys ? Back in the room studies remain forgot As into the session come Margie and Dot; Around home, the boys, and sports, and dancing The conversation revolves, amazingly entrancing! Letters from home bring keen anticipation Of parties and dances and other recreation. And calendars are posted, marked with care, Showing the days intervening between us and “there.” Thus, Time drags on, as though pulling uphill With a heavy load and a lagging will; ’Til suddenly the crest, THE day, is at hand. When — whish I One and all, they miraculously disband. Now Time tumbles swiftly, headlong downhill Rushing heedlessly, carelessly — just won’t stand still. The old year passes; the new year comes. And good-byes are kissed in hundreds of homes. Could it be — could it have been Christmas!
