Pase Two THE SALEM IT E April 8 little wtto this rudeness that has become so very ap parent on campus of late. It may be deemed a platitude and also childish to say “ijoliteness is to do and say the politest thing in the politest way,” but we seem to need it. This rudeness has swept the school. We noticed it at the Wake Forest Concert last Saturday—people whispering and laughing during the entire program, and to top it off, coming in the middle of an attempt on the choir’s part to sing, disturbing them and those who would have liked to enjoy the concert. Wonder what kind of impression of Salem the Wake Forest choir took back with them? No less rude is the. talking in classes. In one class in which there has been a guest lec turer, it has become impossible to even hear the person for the general hub-bub, not lasting a minute but the entire period. Some impres' sion we are making on our guest f These are only two examples. Some of us had. better take stock of ourselves and see if it is we who have been responsible for this bad taste. The older girls who are supposed to set an example are not setting a good one. We are all supposed to be w-ell-bred—let’s make it apparent. N. T. P. by Lee Rosenbloom Our first school pai)er was published monthly Sdlta^ Varied Plans Are the Craze; Salemites Pla7i For Holidays by Winkie Harris W e would like to know what is so repugnant about Vespers that causes people to leave the room as soon as the program begins! Y. W.C.A. Zdita^: “Please” seems to be a necessary word in the English language, but sometimes we won der if it is strong enough in meaning. Over a week ago “please” signs were put on cam pus in order to give the grass a chance to grow. The signs were supposed to be successfully ef fective enough to remind the student body and faculty that our campus would look much prettier with some grass on it. If these do not prove any more effective in the near fu ture, ugly old wire fences will probably take their place. ,We ask you which is better— attractive eye-catching signs or ugly but Equal ly as eyecatching wire fences. D. W. G. Ill tlje spi'iug a young lady’s fancy t n r n s. Naturally, who’s '.vouldii't ? It turns to tlioughts of Bill, or Joe, or maybe even Tlieo- (liro; it turns to the beaeh and house-parties and spring dances; it tu,rns to flowers and sunburn, and all the millions of other things that are included in thoughts for vaca tion. But most of all it turns to home. Subsequently, we go wherever our thoughts or fancies may lead us. With spring comes vacation, and with vacation, wo take*off. Pony Express. Sophie Hobson, Jane Watson and Emily Warden intend to soak up the sun in balmy Clearwater, Fla. Not to be left out of the rush, Lucy Harper is speeding to Miami. Nancy Florence has assured me that she wouldn’t go anywhere ex cept Yeeancille for all the Frenoh verl)s in the world. Ann Jenkins, however, is stopping off at Betty Griffin’s home in Durham on her wav to Tarboro. and jointly by Salem Academy and Colie The following are excerpts from The Hes perian’s of the early 1900’s. These are some of tlie suggestions offered for Christmas presents. First of all, the Fad dist suggests a cusliison made in the shape oi a football and using school colors. “Not onh are they acceptable to brothers or acquaint ances at different Male Colleges but to girls who either attend Women’s Colleges or whose affiliations or with certain State Universities.” “One of the most acceptable and satisfactorr gifts for a girl in her teens is a party bag, in which to carry her slippers and fan.” Local Items: “Miss Mamie Fulp spent last Saturday and Sunday at her home in Fulp, N. C.” “A great many industrious girls are making spring shirt waists.” Salemites enjoymd their spring “Ger man” in the gym. “Ten P. M. arrived only too soon, ’and the good, time’ ended in ‘Home Sweet Home’.” “Fan Little and Winnie Colson went to Salisbury to see the famous actress, Sarah Earnhardt.” Tln-ougli various cliannels (but mainly through that marvelous in vention called eavesdropping thro ugh a keyhole) I have found that Salem girls are following the an cient tradition. Sis Hines informed me confiden tially that to East IMongolia she is bound,' for the sole purpose of wit nessing the spring football game held there annually. She intimated that s;,e might go by way of Kinston, .]ust to kcej) Jane Hart company on the bus.

Then there are the ones to whom the name “New York’’ has proved irresistilile. Clinky Clinkscales, Jan Ballentine, Cacky Pearson, Betty Gv/en Beck, Keenan Casteen, Ann Spencer, and Carolyn Dunn have rented a s])ecial coach for the big party on the wmy up. They keep insisting that the whole objective of their trip is to ride tlie escalator in Penn Station, but Aetivitus told me that she iieard quite a different story. After all, who am I to niiestion Aetivitus? She always has Die inside dope. It is common kndwledge in Sister’s house that Betty Beal claims she is planning to visit relatives on the Gold Coast. Private opinion, tho ugh, is strong in the belief that slie just wants to keep her stay at Nags Head a secret. (Tsk, Tsk,~and such an innocent face, too.) Also among those who refuse to wander from the patli leading stra ight home are June Elder, headed for Marietta, Ga., Anne Blackwell for Fayetteville, Dottle Clemmer and Muggins Bowman for Hickory, Jane Parker for Goldsboro, Mar garet McCall for Salisbui-v and Shirley Baker for Burlington. The call of Virginia Beach and a houseparty has reached Charlotte Woods, Fay Stickney, Dolly Lough- ran and Julia Parker. They are to he joined by a .former Salemite, Joanne Johnson. The idea of a houseparty also appeals to Sara Clark, who is journeying to Wrights- Dr. Clewell and Miss Barber instructed a gym class two hours each week, “The exercises taken so far are those on the parallel and horizontal bars and the latters, besides dumb bell exercises and marching drills.” Her Power Although athletic girls are strong And run and jump and row A girl who never trained at all Can draw a six-foot beau. ville. Secret agent 13675 just reported to me tliat Martha Hershberger is to be the Salem representative to the tiddle-di-winks tournament in South Africa. Now I’m confused' “Plans for many improvements are bem: contemplated, which are to be put into execii tion this summer. Each alcove is to have i chiffonier and closets are to be built aloni the walls of every dormitory.” And from the “Ladies Fashion Column short, three-quarter and full-length touris coats”—they are the thing for this season. “Simplicity is the goddess we all worsliil nowadays. Certain plain pumps and pump ^ fects and modest strap patterns in shoes ongb to be easy to secure. The choice and quaht) of leather, the correct pattern, the proper cn and skillful workmanship must be combinet if the effect of smart modishness which fash ion demands is to be secured.” Editorial Assistants: Helen Creamer, Lila Fretwell, Lola Dawson, Polly Harrop, Nancy Duckwortb, Si.s Pooser, Clinky Clinkscales, Fay Stickney. Marcia Stahl, Ruth Fiunerty, Betsy Farmer, Patsy Miciiael, Liz Leland, George Melville. ' It was Acti wlio told me of an other group who plan to enliven the big city.

Life Facts The average human lives thirty-three The tall live longer than the short. The married last longer than the single- Births are more frequent by night than by day.
