Pape Two. THE SALEMITE May 17. 1946. To The Rising Seniors Dear Senioi-s; Here we arf* a'jain—‘niother sehool year finished, sayin? ’'ood-hye to another swell bunch of "iris. Only this year it’s a little different, because next September when we hit the roa1 ba^-k to Salem v.'e’ll be the senio-s and thin«is will l>e uo to ns. W>>at we mean is we’ve. rot to do a little irrowina up over the snmmer. Do "ou rem»mbpr when w* were freshmen and the seniors seemed so hiirh and niiirhty -n'd whatever they did w» felt instified in do^ic? Well, human nature bein" what it is w*^ doubt if the W new S.-iIem- ites who will arr'vp at Salem next fall ” i'l be different, so we’vp rot to set an example. Whether it will be » iro.i 1 or bad ex-^mi'le is u'> to ns. We can. 'f we wi'l, show the fr.^sbnnvi a!id eve)i the sophoniorps and iunio”s '">w f ir eoonevation, Tmsf>ltishnf*ss. a'vl honor fan ro.

Those of us who will return next year have an empty feeUnor when we think of Salem witho-’t the class of 1046. These Seniors with their capable lealers. invigoratiner per sonalities, fun lovers, and wood sports are a class of which Salem may lonur be T>roud. To encb Senior, we say “thank you’’ for the conti'ibntions that you have made to Salet'i. We v'i!) foUow each of you with in terest and anticipation. To all of you we wish the very best of luck.

Not even time to get nervous . . . she went ove," her repertoire on the train! The birffest atui funniest tnixup was in the mind of the laly who not there late and had to wait outside the door. The usher, to be courteors. opened tlie dooi- a .-rack to let the patron listen. She peeked, too. And suddenly said in a hushed horror: “Gee whi^ Horo witz is a woman!” Guess that’s all until next f-,ll-_don’t fortret the Piedmont Festival here in Winston the last of June ... it should be extra special thi.s year with “Mamafre of Fifjaro” and Rossini’s Stabat Mater” on the bill OwUdzHtcd (le4Aie4jue/i by Virtie Stroup Last week th-' riniocent Bystander dealt with the future, but this week I’d liko to take you back into this year . , . IrtW-Jii. This year has probably seemed like the mere turning of a calendar page to the .leniors, and it is they to whom I would like to dodieate this eoluiim. To you seniors, we your underclassnu'n look forward to your graduation with happiness and with .sorrow. Yi't it shall not be sad, for next y.ear will bring letters ('we hope), remeniliraiici's of your jobs well done, famous quote.- . . . your memory will not die, it will be like spring.

There are others. Others who have done different jobs. How could we forgot Dr. Auscombe’s ‘‘pleeze study;” Miss Marsh keeping the old new; Miss Kirkland pictorializing Salem; Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Began finding properties or making them for plays, dances, and lectures; and Mr. Evett’s little revolution in the Art Department with exhibits—state, national, and local. And especially should we remember those Sun Printing Company “suabeams” for without whom there would be no Salemite. Thus Salem draws up the strings of its 174th year of existence with the Innocent Bystander who opened the student’s eyes fo facts for future reference, and with Incidental Reviewer who leaves the pa.st on a printed page for record. rr\K. X. SfMurW Alumnae News The class of 1896 will hold their 50th reunion at the (iOth annual meeting of tlie Salem College Alumnae Association at 12 o’clock, June 1, in the Old Chapel. The class of 189) will sing its class song with a 194(i version which was written by Miss Cornelia Beinbach. Speaker for the class will be Mrs. Myra Skinner Ficklen of Green ville, N, C. The graduation gift of the class of ’9*’ was the steps leading to the May Dell . . . below is a quotation from a deseripti(m of the 18% commencement: Monday and Tuesday evenings were given to the Seuiors. On the.se occasions each member of the class reads a biief essay and in this way the class is introduced to the public. Miss Lehman had special charge of the occasions, and Mr, Clewell introduced the members of the class as their names appeared on the programme. The subjects chosen were treated by groups of girls, and the usual care ful training was observed in the material, as well as in the manner of reading the essays. Xo one faltered; no one failed, but with a steady confidence each oi>e stepped forward as her name was read and took her part, thus in a marked manner showing the personal and individual care of which the Academy boasts. Of course, the white cajw ajid gowns appeared to advantage, and nothing could have mado the girls appear more attractive than the beautiful and classic costumes. JaprnAmerican Student Writes Mother Strong I)urin«r the war with Japan ])ractically all Japanese-Aniei icans, young ami old, were held in internment camps by the United States Government, To many people, especially edu- '•ators. this is a dark blot upon the American escntrheon. Since tlie conclusion of the war, the ITattie M. Stron? Foundation of Washing ton, D. C., set up by our own Mothei- Stron", has bad forty Japanese-American sttidents as its umests. Tl\ey have been enrolled at the ex- iiense of +be Poimdation as students in thirty American ('ollecjes. The irood work which this action l\ns :'nd ^'.'ill do for the future is to be dis'.'oyered. in the followinsj letter. ^lay 4, 1946 Mrs. Hattie M. Strong '>02 National Savings & Trust Building 1-”)tb & New Yorl^ Avenue "’■•sbington, 1). C, Dear Mrs. Strong; Tt has been my earnest desire for quite sometime of knowing the person who has made possible my enrollment to the College of the Ozarl's. May I take this moment to thank you fir your generousity and for the interest you l1a^'e shown to the Nisei, I can say with firm conviction that the interest you have shown us will not lie in vain. As far as T am con- cei'ned, I am determined to do niy utmost to utilize most profitably, this opportunity grant ed to me to search foi- the universal knoAvledge, Hav’ng been out of school foi’ ouite some time. T found it a bit difficult at first to ad just nivself to a new environment. Howevei’, the frierdly atmosjihere of the college and the s'ncerity sbov.ii upon me by the faculty liave given m'e the courage to stick to it. T am rcalJy en.ioyinir my stay at tbe (’ollege of the Ozarks. It's really grand to enjoy the liber ties outside the “barbtwire fence” and to at tend s'diool again! But as I look back at the experiences I went through during my deten tion. 1 think tliat it was a rare but a very richful and a very meaningful one. 1 have in mind as my future work, to work in the field of social reconstruction which I became quite interestel after associating with foreign mis sionaries whom I have met and who hay^e guided me and encouraged me during the days of uncertainties at the relocation center. Again, thank you for your kindness. With ')e.st regards, 1 am Yours very siiu^erely, Minorus Kiyota (Mr.) Salemite Poblished Weekly By The Student Body Of Salem College Member Southern Inter-Collegiate Press Association 8UBSCEIPTI0N PRICE - $2.
