Co44t ^fiancaii HAS IT BEEN WORTHWHILE? We have only four inoi'e weeks of school. Yes, the long awaited time is not far away. Some are leaving for the summer, but others are leaving for the last time. All of us have heard that our happiest years are spent in college. At times we have found that hard to believe. How could our happiest years be spent getting up for eight-thirty classes, cram ming for examinations, and worrying about the many little things that we thought important? Yet, these years have been gloriously happy. We have been among friends with whom we have played and studied. We have had more than our share of fun. We may never again find life as easy or as pleasant as we have found it at Salem. After four yeafs ^ studying mathematics, languages, history, and art we will soon receive an A. B. degree. Have these years been worth while? Are we better fitted to face the world than we were four years ago? The answer is decidedly yes. We have tried to acquire an open mind, by realizing that there is more than one side to every question, that each individual has a right to his own opinion. If we have not yet developed a personal philosophy, we are at least thinking about it. From both the social and intellectual point of view we are better fitted for life. What will the future bring? What lies ahead? Non£ of us can answer. We look to the future with eagerness, but with anxiety. In a world torn with strife and disaster, it may be hard for us to find our places. We do not think that we have learned how to live, but we certainly know more about living now than we did four years ago. Who knows? A suc cessful life may depend upon what we have learned in college. W ' —M. C. Les pauvres etudiautes de fraticais! II faut que nous etudiions beaucoup pour lea examens. Notre pro- fesseur nous a dit, 11 y a quelques semaines, que nous devrons souf- frir I’examen de frangais le vingt-deux de mai. Alors, nous etions mal- contentes d’entendre dire qu’il allait s’en aller. Mais, puis, qu’il n’en avait rien S. faire, nous nous sommes dit, Eh bien, le jour ne viendra pas tot. Maintenant c’est presque I’heure de son depart, et nous sommes tres malheureuses, non entieremeut S, cause de I’examen, mais aussi parceque notre professeur va irpus quitter. Mais, pensez au pauvre professeur, il faut que lui aussi suffre beau coup d’examens. Au moins, nous sommes en practique de las prendre. Le professeur n’est qu’en practique de les donner! Nous toutes lui souhaitons beaucoup de bonne chancel ENLISTED WAVES AND SPARS TRAIN AT LEADING COLLEGES i c V- 1 £ p, S O h O n s g After being accepted as enlisted WAVES or SPARS, hundreds of young women from 20 to 36 years of age are now being trained at leading colleges throughout the country. College facilities are leased by the Navy and used as the basis of naval training schools.

One day while we were “bulling” in the smoke house, it suddenly occurred to us that we knew nothing about the requirements to make one eligible for Council membership. Furthermore, in our midst, was a girl who is now manager of a sport. When asked how she acquired this position, she replied, “I have no idea. The A. A. President just walked up to me and told me I was to be manager.” And the girl that was selected has done an ex cellent job, but the situation still baffles us. We’d really like to know just how this girl acquired her job. And we feel sure that other Salemites are as vitally interested in the way this aspect of our school works as we are. In fact, we don’t think that this is a minor factor in contributing to the utter indifference which has prevailed in every athletic effort made on the campus during this and preceding years. Now, before we launch into next fall’s sports’ activities, this question should be settled. Won’t some person, who has all the information, enlighten us? —AN INTERESTED STUDENT. IT SEEMS TO ME That it was only a few montlis instead of ■ four years ago that Dr. Rondthaler was say ing to the freshman class, “Let’s see now, you’re the class of ’43—there are many words that rhyme With ‘three,’ and before you know it, 1943 will be here.” And so another one of his prophecies is about to be fulfilled. The time has passed quickly. Why it seems only yesterday that the present senior class occu pied the last section of the 1939-40 Sights aad Insights. Many of the class are engaged; two are married. Several of the “Ex-’43’ers” are married, and there have been a few blessed events. And now to the girls who occupy the long table in the dining room the last three, weeks of their college days we give our heart iest congratulations and wish you the best of luck always! That the rising senior class have assumed the proper dignified sophisticated air in their new jobs in the dining room. Each junior hostess has her roommate facing her at the other end of the table for support. That orchids should go to iliss Stockton, dietitian, and her staff for the splendid food and service of this year. For, in spite of ra tioning and points, there has been nothing left undone, and there were some of the much- looked-forward-to added specialties. Thank you for making Corrin Refectory one of the most enjoyable and attractive places on the campus. That Miss Anna Butner should receive a bouquet also for her contribution to everyone’s morale the many colorful and fragrant flow ers on the campus—Despite the shortage of growing space, because of victory vegetable and herb gardens, by some means she has continued to provide the “spreaders of sunshine.” By the way, have you noticed the flowering mag nolia trees? They’re beautiful! That Miss Essie Shouse and Roy Ellis and their assistants should receive many thanks, too, for their untiring and never-ending clean ing and repairing efforts. Even though it is a temptation to relax during exams it is much easier to concentrate in clean and orderely sur roundings. That the time has come to 'say “thirty,” and to add that we’ll be looking forward to seeing you. next fall. Prospects for the year 1943-44 look very encouraging, and even though there will be changes, as there ever are, we’ll be as glad to see you as you will to be back at Salem.
