With such fresh memories this senile sage passed on her bitter tale of neglect. Today employers judge their applicants by their participa tion in extra-curricular activities. They realize that school lead ers become the most efficient employees. We must also realize that we are a part of Salem. Every Salem interest should be ours. This interest should be an active one. Participation in outside activities will develop many abilities that the textbook cannot even touch. Salemites — you juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, this is addressed to you for the seniors cannot be helped now. There is still time for you undergraduates to take stock of yourself and to do something about it. MIND YOUR MANNERS There are a few rules of etiquette which should be put on our “must” list, and among these are reverence during a table blessing. In the dining hall most of us are so busy talking to those around us that we hardly stop long enough to allow Miss Lawrence or Miss Turlington to say the blessing. If we were quiet during these few moments and thought about what was being said instead of what we were planning to say next no doubt we would be more thankful for our good food than we are at present. If the prayer, “ Come Lord Jesus our guest to be and bless these gifts bestowed by Thee,” is being used, the last word, “Thee,” becomes drowned by the noise of chairs being pulled out. If we think others are rude to interrupt us while we talk, how much more rude is it for us to interrupt a few words of thanks to God! SING OUT YOUR CLASS SPIRIT “Not long ago the classes here at Salem had an amazing amount of spirit and loyalty. Each «lass had ts own song and the girls sang lustily at every meeting. Oh, yes, the classes did have meetings for other reasons than to plan ways to make money — they would have get together just for the fun of it.” What has happened to all of this vitality and spirit in the classes? It seems that it has completely disappeared — not that there is not interest at the basketball games, but this loyalty does not go much farther than the gym ... we might try to regain this class spirit by having some individual class songs. How about you budding musicians waxing poetic and producing some lively songs for your class to sing? LECOIN FRANCAiS Lundi soir, k sept heures et dernie ost arrive le temps “de parlor de plusiers choses—chassures et vais- seaux et cire 3, cacheter et choux et rois. “Plus exactement, des carrots et des professuers de fran^ais (non, pas le notre. Parce que le professeur dent il s’agit est jeune et beau et non- marifi!) et de beaucoup' d’autres choses. Tout le monde 6tait un tim- ide au eommencement mais quand on devient absolument pr6oecup4 de son sujet, on s’oublie soimene, et on par- le frangaise. Peutetre de temps-en- temps les grimaces d’agonie de Dr. Downs ontelles desavoue ca, mais—I Les anecdotes de monsieur le docteur etaient, comme toujours, trls drSles. Nous nous sommes amusees — si bien que nous attendons impatiemment le lundi prochain. Et vous autresf This week’s SALEMITE was edited by Marion Norris and Carrie Donnell.

ON THE AtR On Thursday, ‘ ‘ Salem on the Air” continued with a talk by Mr. 0. H. Higgins. His subject was “The Chemist Speaks^’ in which Mr. Higgins spoke on how the chemist aids in warfare. Each Thursday night at 8 0 ’clock, these Salem broadcasts take place. Under the supervision of Dr. John Downs there have been many interesting and entertaining programs. Several students, mem bers of the faulty, and student organizations have participated in these broadcasts.

Or rest in Heaven’s golden ways. Then all the states on earth shall cease; United States shall be no more; No congressmen shall fill their seats; No president shall speak on war. But there’s a question which rears up As I reflect upon that end — For with no governments in reach What will a certain teacher teach? Will Room 21 be closed to him? —^Arthur Sewane. THIS BUSINESS OF “BUSYS”: In a certain community a representative tried to have a blue law repealed — a law that forbade people to purchase goods on Sunday. The preacher fought hard against it, and the representative was unsuccessful. “All right,” he said, “if we are to keep this law we will see that it’s enforced.” As a result, many of those same preachers who had fought so hard against its repeal were caught breaking it. The Salem College Handbook has a rule which forbids students to enter someone else’s room when a “Busy” sign is attached to the door. When a girl puts a “Busy” on her door, she does it because she does not want to be disturbed in her studies. In deliberately breaking a “busy.” a student is not only disregarding a rule, but she is being very inconsiderate of her friend. It would be better to take the rule out of the handbook than to disregard it entirely or to neglect the enforcement of 'it It is necessary to the integrity of the Student government that students who make these infractions report themselves to the Student Council, or that someone else sees that she does report herself. If the rule is not to be enforced, it will be ab solutely meaningless to hang a “Busy” on one’s door. Why have such a sign if it means absolutely nothing to the members of tlie student body? PARLEZ-VOUS FRANCAIS? Many words of one sort or another have been said on such subjects as enthusiasm, revival of interest, use of time, etc. One of the results — and a very delightful result is the French Conversation hour every Monday night. The people who have appeared so far have been a mixture of devotees to the language and delightful beginners who find that they can understand practically everything that Dr. Downs says . . . most of the things that their friends say . . . and a few things that they manage to spell out themselves. There are different things afoot — sometimes poetry . . . sometimes games but it’s always fun. And incidentally its a good way to improve the value that you get from your regular French classes.
