Page Four. Sports Rambling Oh! what a situation 1 We’re caught like helpless animals be tween Christmas vacation, exams, basketball, and here comes a snow! After an exhilarating snowballing, the cruel facts of term papers and the semester’s closing horrors rise up en masse to tribulate a poor scholar’s mind, body, and soul—from which there seems no respite. But what has this to do in a sports column? It’s the “respite” that puts it here. Webster says respite is ‘ ‘ temporary intermission of labor”, and following the steps of reasoning, we find that exam study is a Salemite’s labor. Now to get the real poijit—a good .suggestion for the? break in study periods that everyone needs and usually makes is a game of ping- pong or badminton or even a brisk walk out-of-doors. This is, Salemites, to be preferred to ‘ ‘ slinging cards in the ‘smokehouse,” and even a person with ‘ ‘ kitty-brain” sense knows it! In order to help us through the gruelling two weeks ahead. Miss Anerill urges that we make good use of the gym for recreation, and she offers that anyone W'ho wants access to the gym after hours only needs to see her, and she will gladly ablige. If you don’t feel inclined towards ping-pong or badminton, practice basketball just for fun. Although basketball does not efficially begin until exams are over you may play in the afternoons.

Near the end of the course, the big excitement was the prospect of orders, which might keep one at Northampton as an instructor, might send one to Banana River, or might direct one’s path to a Wave’s dream—a Naval Air . Station, the eight of us who survived from room T-250 wore scattered from Florida to California, and all have very interesting duties. I am still in Massachusetts, for two months’ training in Communi cations at Mount Holyoke College. The school here is much smaller than the Midshipmen’s School at Northampton, and life is a bit more leisurely. There are SPARS and Marines here, too, and the comparison of the services and uniforms makes good conversation fodder. Florence (“Floss”) Harris was in class ahead of me at Hamp and I was the first to salute her after she was commissioned, thereby win ning the dollar that is awarded on such occasions. But Floss and I de cided that the dollar was to be long to Salem, to be passed on to other Salemites. Louise Bralower got the dollar from me, and I hope that she found another Salem ite to receive it. I eould say a great deal about THE SALEMITE CHRISTMAS THANKS FROM B. T. C. NO. 10 hardwood!

For the temi)orary intermission that refreshes the person from his labor ious and dulling studies, there could be nothing more beneficial than ex ercise to tone up Ihe listless body, to clear out the stoggy mind, and to soothe the troubled soul!

Several letters were received by the War Activities Council and the Home Economics Club from boys in Wards 6 and 14 at B. T. C. No. 10 in Greensboro thanking Salem Col lege for the gifts, favors, etc., sent them at Christmas. Among the items sent were books, magazines, jigsaw puzzles, favors, placecards, and a crate of citrus fruit. All these gifts seemed to have been greatly appreciated by the boys and the Red_ Cross staff at the hospital. Personal thanks were also extended by the Red Cross assistant field director stationed at the hosx>ital. To quote from one of the letters; ‘ ‘ It makes us hajipy to know that we were not forgotten during the Iioliday season. It contributed im mensely toward our happiness.” This letter was from three boys in the orthopedic ward, where patients spend from 6 weeks to 6 months. The War Activities Council takes this opportunity to thank the stud ent organizations who made it pos sible by their contributions to send these gifts. Two Films Shown to Psychology Students Two films, “The Nervous System” and “The Endocrinc Glands”, were shown Wednesday afternoon in the Old Chapel. The films, produced by the Erpi Classroom Films, Inc., were shown by Dr. McEwen. Member of his psychology classes and visitors attended. RAY W.
