nized scholastic and service organi

The dismantling of German steel
and synthetic oil and rubber plants
will be slowed down, it was an

cellor Konrad Adenauer announced
this decision to the Parliament of
the West German Republic, as a
result of last week’s big three meet
ing of Foreign Ministers from
France, England and the U. S., who
met in Paris. Another concession
resulting from the Paris meeting
is the decision to allow Western
Germany to build bigger and swifter
merchant ships to establish trade
with other countries.
Adenauer added that those Ger
man plants which were devoted ex

materials during the war would
continue to be dismantled at the
same pace. The plants that have
been spared wholesale dismantling
under the new agreement cover the
steel and synthetic oil and rubber

Two Petitions Are Passed;
One To Be Investigated
Seniors Plant
Annual Tree
During the regular Chapel period
yesterday, the Class of 1950 planted
a white dog-wood tree on the
square and a sprig of ivy on the
front of the library.
In Memorial Hall, Lynn Marshall,
Senior Class President, explained
the tradition of tree planting. Each
class leaves a memorial to itself at
Salem, and this memorial is always
a tree and a growth of ivy.
The Head Marshal led by Dr.
Gramley, ;Lynn, Susan Johnson, class
officers, the Seniors, the Juniors,
the Sophomores, the Freshmen, the
faculty, and the guests respectively,
to the square, where Lyn presented
the tree to Dr. Gramley. The first
spade of dirt was throw around
the new tree by Dr. Gramley, fol
lowed by the Senior Class officers
throwing in their spadefuls. Then
each senior class member tossed a
penny to the tree.
In front of the Library, the ivy
was presented by Lynn to Dr.
Gramley, who threw in a spade of
dirt. 'The entire school then sung
the Alma Mater, and the benedic
tion was said by Dr. Gramley.
Two committees were formed at
the Legislative Board meeting Mon
day night. One Committee was
appointed to study the constitution
of Student Government and to de
cide which matters should be ad
ministrative and which should be
legislative. Those to serve on this
committee are Dr. Gramley, Dr.

Lee Rosenbloom, Louise Stacy,
Sally Ann Borthwick, W i n k i e

Class, was elected secretary.
Marilyn Moore Heads Frosh;
Will Play For Horace Heidt
Marilyn Moore was elected pre
sident of the Freshman class on
Wednesday, November 15, at a spe
cial meeting of all the freshmen.
Marilyn has proved herself to be
worthy of this honor as she served
temporary chairman of the class
for the first six weeks. Her effi
ciency has impressed everyone who
is associated with her. Not only
holding the most important honor
in the Freshman class, Marilyn is
to be on the Horace Heidt Show
Wednesday, November 23, in Wins
ton-Salem. This honor is something
that is not bestowed upon every
one, and Salem is very proud of
the new president.
Rose Ellen Bowen, Day-Student,
was elected Vice-President. Al
though Rose Ellen resides off cam
pus, she is very popular and active
in school work.
Marilyn Samuel was chosen for
the office of Secretary. No one
needs an introduction to this girl.
She maintains very high grades in
academic work and participates on
the Freshman Hockey Team.
Jane Schoolfield, hailing from
Marilyn Moore
Danville, Virginia, was elected
Treasurer. This job demands quite
a lot of work, and the class feels
that Jane is the girl to do this job.
