“MOTHER STRONG”
It is with a feeling of great
pleasure that Salem again wel
comes Mrs. Henry Alva Strong
to its campus. Hers is no longer
merely the name which everyone
recognizes as belonging to a
good and beloved friend of the
college; but it stands for one who
is known and loved as a friend
of the girls themselves and for
one who is no longer a stranger
in our midst.
We are proud to have Jlrs.
Strong with us here and we are
glad to hear that her stay will
last longer than the few short
days that her visits have neces
sarily been in the past. We
Salem girls are glad that she is
present with us; we all want to
know her better and to be given
an opportunity, sometime during
the days she is here, to talk with
her.
Welcome to Salem, Mrs. Storng!
May your visit be a pleasant one
and may we do all that is pos
sible to make it so!

Christians and Jews, speaking in
expanded chapel on Wtdnesday,
urged that all college students ac-
quaint themselv'es with the facts
concerning the religiou# differences
of the Protestants, Jews, and
Catholic before submitting to one
of the waves of emotionlism so fre
quently caused by prejudiced
rumors and misrepresentative facts.
He continued by saying that
agreement among these facts was
not a purpose, for “America is a
country in which you can agree to
disagree agreeably.” But he urged
that members of the various faiths
go to each other for explanation of
rumors instead of widely repeating
them. ,
“We are not trying to find a
common denominator of religious
feeling, for differences have their
place and must be respected.”
Dr. Gottschall closed by saying
that the Jews, and Catholics and

GOODBYE
In spite of vague rumors that
^Easter holidays are just a myth,
that glorious week of freedom
is almost here. As a matter of
fact, spring vacation officially
begins at 4:00 p.m., on Wednes-
3ay, April 9. Of course, if you’re
one of those legendary beings
who have no afternoon classes,
ye olde spring vacation begins
even sooner for you-—after your
last morning class, unless you
still have cuts- left and decide to
take ’em.
Sad, but true—even the mer
riest of festivities must end and
at 0:00 a.m., Thursday, April 9,
Easter holidays go the way of
all good holidays and become
fond memories. But don't let
that worry you, 'cause if Easter
Eomes, can June be far behind?
