“Eva Belle” hasn’t said much.
“Bushy” Scott was all smils last
week-e'nd when “Wes” showed up—
its’ a return trip this weekend. More
powder to the gal! “Connie” Scoggins
really hit the jackpot last weekend
when her brother called from over-
so'as and a cute Marine from C.hapol
Hill paid Eeedsville a visit.
Speaking of painting the town,
Margaret West and Henrietta Wal
ton really did Morganton up right
last weekend. You should hear the
tall tales they are relaying. Ask
them to te'll you full details.
Ann Sauls is gong to Atlanta
for ‘ ‘ zo beeg time” to meet Lamar
Gudger. How about her? Nell Den
ning is having D. E. Ward to Jr.Sr.
What would “Henie” say. Lillian
D a t o n will also make an ap
pearance in .\tlanta for the holi
days. HMMMMMM!
“Gudger” is worried because an
old' beau has come on the scene
and is in calling distance for Jr.-Sr.
and she’s already invited somebody
else. Just imagine. Sounds perfect
ly pre-war. Mary Ellen Byrd has
finished another Radio Play—con
grats to her.
What’s this we hear about a ghost
on second floor Clewell who can’t
play anything liut “Pomp and Cir
cumstance ” — change the Strain
please! Peggy Bollin is seeing a
lot of Joe . . . why Pescud . . ,
where’s your power?
Aileen and V. V. are still up on
the seniors as far as mail is con
cerned?! Overseas service seems to
be pretty good . . . from all ap
pearances. .
We might say that tho' Frances
Elder is a Southern girl and a
l')aughter of the' Confederacy, she
wears Union Suits judging from
that nifty one she wore in Stunt
Night. Elaine Loving took off to
Carolina last weekend and reports
a wonderful time with Charles.
Emma Mitchell and Anne Love went
to Ealeigh, fun, huh? All of Leh
man is going home with Dodie for
Spring Holidays—what a house full!
Emily Harris and Lib Barhardt are
going to riorida for the holidays
to see certain chums of theirs.
Sullivan went to Charlotte last
weekend—marooned in Statesville—
three hours away from Johnny—oh
woe! Booty took Janie, Coit, and
Bunny to Eeidsville and “Keimy”
and' Margaret Riddle went home
with Connie. The joint was jumping.
Margaret Huckab.ee and Rosemary
Cleveland went to Black Mountain.
Salem now owns a twothirds in
terest in all the bus lines—and why
shouldn’t we?
Now we come to the close but
w"o remiml you poor dears who are
struggling with rainy weather and
term papers of this comforting little
verse from Tilton.
‘ ‘ Once in Persia reigned a king
Who upon his signet ring
Graved a maxim true and wise . . .
Solemn words are these are they:
Even this shall pass away.”

A council made up of the leading

J. Cronin, whicli has been at tho
top of the list for four years, Song
of Bernadette by Franz W ;rfel,

Sisters' House Celebrates
159th Anniversary
The Sister’s House celebrated the
159th anniversary of its founding
today. In recognition of the occasion
Dr. Rondthaler held a short program
in front of the building at 1:30.
He gave a short account of the his
tory of the building whose propo
sal was brought up in the orgiginal
Moravian colony. The purpose of the
building was to provide a home for
the ‘single sisters” of the colony.
Since that time the Sister’s House
has become a part of the Salem Col
lege campus. It has, however, serv
ed also as the home for w'omen of
the church as well as 'a part of the
campus.

KATHERINE BORING
RONDTHALER
■Pew people can be on the Salem
College campus for more than
twenty-four hours without seeing
the cheerful, smiling face of Kather
ine Boring Rondthaler. Mrs. Rond
thaler does not have a “job” here
at Salem, but she is one of the
busiest persons on the campus. Her
official title is that of ‘ ‘ President’s
Wife.”
Korn in tho Quaker atmosphere
t)f Philadelphia, she attended th'?
Frienils School,' then continued with
studies in vocal and instrumental
music, later studying ^at the Phil
adelphia School of Pharmacy.
Mrs. Kondthaler has never been
South before she married and came
to Salem thirty-five years ago, (on
July 8th, 1909). Dr. Rondthaler, son
of Bishop Eondthaler, followed Dr.
Clewell as' president of Salem.
Many changes can be noted since
Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler first came
to Salem. First and foremost, al
though called Salem Academy and
College the school lacked accredited
recognition at that time. Also there
was a .Junior School connected
with it. The students’ ages ranged
from five to twenty-one years.
Many of the old teachers were here
at that time, including the Misses
Lou and Sally Shaffner and Miss
Lehman, after whom Lehman Hall
was named.
What Mrs. Roml'thaler likes es
pecially about Salcftn is its lovely
landscape. The planting has .been
a special interest of hers. Her hob
bies and interests are varied and
diversified. She is well-known as'
a church worker, serving as Superin-
tendant of the Printary Depart
nient of the Home Church Sunday
School. She is also a noted club wo
man in the community, having been
the first president of the Winston-
Salem Woman’s Club. She belongs
to numerous other clubs, but Mrs.
Rondthaler’s main interest is the
girls here at the college and
academy. She has a wonderful
memory for faces ami names, but
insists that to her the girls are not
just names but a gre'at variety of
interesting j>ersonalities.
' Among other things, Mrs. Kond-
thaler is the general supervisor of
the numerous Salem traditions, keep
ing the yearly calender for the
Academy and College. Having a x>er-
sonal interest in the domestic sit
uation, she meets once a week with
the houskee'per, dietians, laundry
manager and superintendent of
grounds.
Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler have four
children, who seem to keep as busy
as their parents. Theolore is the
Superintendent of Schools at Clem-
men,s, Ed'ward is in the advertis
ing business in Neiv York, Elizabeth
Rondthaler Pfohl is assistant per
sonnel director of Atlantic Mutual
in Wall Street, and Jane is Program
Director of the U. S. ().. ait iSTorfolk.
The Rondthalers have
children.

Mrs. Rondthaler, as First Lady
of Salem, has won the hearts of all
her girls, lu Red Cross Surgical Dres
sings Room, or at her stately Senior
Class Dinner, her hospitable, graci
ous and charming personality is un-
boumd>ed.
