Freshmen To Have Auction Sale Soon One of the outstanding events of the year will take place Saturday, May 12, at 12:45 on the lawn in front of Bitting. The freshman class is sponsoring an auction sale. Pro ceeds will go towards completion of plans for the Date Room in Clewell basement.

Many bargains will be offered in the form of Sheaffer fountain pens, kid gloves, scarfs, jewelry, chests of drawers, etc. As an extra-added abstraction, the auction will feature the first public appearance of the Six Silly Salemites, who will model.

GOODRICH PHOTOGRAPHER 317 W. 4th St. — Dial 7994 ★ This IS not a defense of the pro posed I. K. S. Etiquette Program for next year; rather, it is fin ex- ])lanation of the tentative plans of '.he organization. The student body meeting Tues day was necess^^ry to give the I. R. S. the authority to form a {)lan for raising the social standards at Salem—a plan that would meet the approval of ' the student body. A majority of tho girls )>resent at assembly voted to invest this author ity in the Council. Now the presi dent of the organization and her committees can proceed to work out this plan of suggestions for a better Salem. Success, however, will depend entirely upon the interest and cooi)eratiou of every meiiber of I. R. S., which means every girl in the school. Anybody that is at all observant is aware that there is room for improvement on the campus. The 1. R. S. is not planning to set up a police force to aggressively en force social rules and regulations. The purposed system of giving a “knock” for social negligence will merely provide all erring Salemites with a gentle reniindef. These knocks are in no way equivalent to Stu dent Government call-downs. An accumulation of knocks will auto matically place the student on a light restriction—not the usual Student Government restriction. Obviously the system planned will not be a hardship on the student body. The punishment will be light; the rules, easy , to follow; the im provement (we hope) immediate. The duty of the new I. R. S. Council will be to determine (1) what will be considered offenses, and (2) what the penalties will be. A box has been placed in Main Hall for the purpose of getting student opinion on the above questions. If everv student will contribute her ideas, pro and eon, on the proposed system, the council will be much more capable of effecting a program that will be satisfactory and at the same time morale-building to the student body. Though the suggestion box and through contract with your class representative to L R. S. you can make a vital contribution by offering your ideas and criticisms on the Etiquette Program. children, watch those table manners. Watch that “smoke room etiquette”. It’s time to reform! (After all we are young ladies.) Of course, it is agreed that we often forget our maniiers—intention ally or unintentionally. But, surely there’s another way to remind us besides “knocks.” Isn’t there such a thing as social ajiproval in human l)eings? Or the power of suggestion or example? It seems that out of the vagueness of our minds comes a re membrance of the desire for social :ipproval and the part it plays in human relationships. (Incidentally, instead of “knocks,” why don’t we just revert to the high school level of deportment grades?) Girls, are we so adolescent that we ourselves cannot see when and where we are wrong? Do we have to have “restriction” held over our heads to make us want to do right? Do__you really think this system will work? Let’s show them that we don’t n«ed “M. P.’s” to control our social behavior! Sarah Ilege Dean Vardell has suggested a public address system as a needed addition to Memorial Hall. The acoustics are asking for aid—here’s a worthy project for some organiza tion planning to leave a gift to Salem. “Davy .Jones’ Locker” will be opened Saturday night. The formal opening and housewarming will not he held until work on the room has progressed further, but any mermaid who wishes to bring her mer-man down to the bottom of the sea may do so before or immediately after the dance. HITLEE’ S ETTG (WITH APOLIOIES TO RUGS) Neurosis, psychosis, paranoia— Gee, gosh, what the heck am I? Treatment, therapy or any cure— Xone’ll help me I am quite sure!! For T am Hitler and thus quite smug— In a world crisis I chew the rug!! Oh dear. My! N’ow what shall I do? The allies are aHvancing, and my rug is gone too!!! The tension’s so great' I can stand it no more— Tnless Satan has rugs—It’ll be quite a bore! To us he’s Mr. “Snoodlebug,” or Mr. “Willie Lump-Lump,” or Mr. “Jones,” or Mr. “Snails,” but to clarify things, he’s Mr. E. B. Snavely, who has been running in and out of our Book Store for thirteen years. He was boni in Harrisburg, Virginia, l)ut he doesn’t claim to be “one of thoso proud Virginian state.smen.” He came to Winston-Salem fifteen years ago from Lynchburg, and he really doesn’t know why lie came— /he just did! • Mr. “Snoodlebug” has been con nected with books and bookstores ever since he was twelve years old. He got his first experience help ing his father one Christmas. He I>roudly said, “I carried over 30,600 packages that Christmas!” Then he told his father that he was too tired to carry another thing, but his father urged him to work only one more day. “That day has lasted forty years,” he laughed, smiling with those black eyes of his. His main interest is reading books —a most natural thing! Whpn he was younger, he read so many books that^he almost put his eyes out. On account of his eyes, his wife won’t let him read much now; she reads to him. Next to reading he likes fishing best—“I mean the kind of fishing that relaxes you!” He has a genuine interest in young people and seems to enjoy handing out those few packs of cigarettes everyday. We have all laughed over Mr. ‘ Snoodlebug’s” humorous habit of nicknaming everyone. He says his three Children have more nicknames that he can remember. He explains his habit in this way; “When I make up my mind what a girl’s name is, her name will always be that to me! It is rather confusing some times, ’cause I have to learn two sets of names.” ’Tis a wonder he doesn’t slip up on the name-on sta tionery and put “Greta Garbo” and such! In between forgetting real names and manufacturing nicknames, Mr. Snavely finds time to take some tip-top shots of the celebrities that visit our campus. He has received numerous thank-you letters in re- to them. He has drawers Xull of sponse to the pictures he has sent celebrity. May Day, and graduation pictures as far back as 1934, but he has yet to paste them in a scrap book! With a keen appreciation of wit, he related the funniest question ever asked him in the Book Store: “What is going to happen in America when all the sugar mines run out?” In his jovial manner he reminded the questioner that sugar is made from sugar cane. Yes, that’s Mr. Snavely, a jovial man and everyone’s friend on cam pus! Freshmen Win In Softball A hard-hitting freshman team, led to victory by team manager and pitcher Mary Holt Hill, triumphed over the sophomores 5-4 on Thursday evening to capture the Salem College softball crown. Beginning in field, the freshmen held the sophomores down to no hits and soon ended that half-inning with three up, three down. In the second half they eked out three hits but made no runs. ' Green made first for the sophs in the second inning, but no runs came across. Two outs were made on fouls caught by Carter, frosh catcher. In the second half of this inning tho game broke. Carter reach ed first on a hard grounder, advanc ed to second on a short hit by Griffin, and reached home plate for the first run of the game on a hit by Leeper. Clark sent Griffin home and a hit by Cox- loaded the bases. With a fly ball Hill sent Leeper across the plate for the third score and Clark brought the game up to 4-0 where it stood at the end of the second. Soph luck rose in the third inning when Quinerly walked on four balls and Stroup reached first. Both run ners reached home on a hit by John son. A free base to Joslin on four balls and a one-bagger by Bullock loaded the bases. Johnson and Jos lin tied the score, 4-4. The freshmen came back in the second half to advance the score .')-4 when a hit by Leeper brought Carter across the plate, runs were scored. The Sophomores struggled to even up the score in their last chance at bat, but their three hits failed to pay, and the game ended in favor of the freshmen, 5-4. The freshmen previously defeated the seniors, 5-4, and the juniors, 13- 5. The sophomores advanced to the finals in a 6-0 win over the Juniors and a 13-9 advantage over the seniors. The game between the losing juniors and seniors will be played this even ing at^seven o’clock. Peggy Davis -Luanne Davis SONNET XVIII Bhall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou ai’t more lovely aud more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines. And often is his gold complexion dimm’d; Aud every fair from fair sometime declines. By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st, Nor shall Death brag thou wand’rest in his shade When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st. So long as men can breathe or eyes can see. So long lives this, and.this gives life to thee. William Shakespeare. lat^LjrY M5KCfiAms£ keasonaslymcEoa Our Qreetings to.
