Laundry
(Continued from page three)
“Soap ? We use about 3,250 lbs.
of soap flakes and powder plus
three cases of bar soap to rub out
stains and clean extra dirty socks.”
As if you hadn’t been shaken up
enough, you are tossed into a large
drying tumbler. Before you go in,
you learn that tonight sheets will
be hung on long wires stretching
across the laundry to dry. Others
of your friends will be dried in a
large drying closet. You take a
deep breath and begin to whirl
around. At last you stop whirling
and you’re dry again!
You’re put into a little cart. You
cross your shoulder straps and
hope you won’t be ironed on one
of those big rolling ironers.
You’re not! You’re ironed by
hand as are gym suits, pajamas,
dresses and blouses. Everyone is
ironed by hand, you notice, except
sheets and linens. It takes the
seven women at their own ironing
boards quite some time to iron all
of your friends.
You meet your brothers and sis
ters next, are tied in a bundle and
left in your proper place to wait
for your owner to call for you.
Had you been a petticoat in the
early 1900’s, you would have been
washed and ironed in the basement
of the old gym, which was situated
approximately between the present
dining room and the science build
ing. Sheets and linens would have
been cleaned out in town, but your
sisters dresses and blouses would
have been done here on campus
with you.
Earlier than this in the latter
1800 s, you would have been washed
and ironed out in town. Local
women would call for you and all
the other “dirty ones” that came
from your “room company” which
consisted of 20 to 25 girls and two
teachers. These women would
divide among them the extra sheets
and the extra linens that did not
belong to a room company. Once
a week they would call for you,
and when you were returned to
your owner the next week you
would be clean and ironed. “It
wouldn’t have been bad at all,” you
think, “to have been a Salem slip
in the 1800’s. In fact, it isn’t bad
being a modern Salem slip.”

While the nativity scene changes
little from year to year, the min
iature reproduction of old Salem
acquires new objects each season.
This year, members of the Putz
committee are preparing replicas of
the Brother’s House, the old John
son House, Salem Tavern and the
Salem Mill.

Messiah To Be
Sung Sunday
The “Messiah”, Handel’s tri
umphal oratorio, will be presented
Sunday at 4:00 p.m. at the Ce"^
tenary Methodist Church T
A. Potter, for his third time
will direct the chorus of 25f1 ,
in the musical event.
Oratorio, by definition a dramatic
text set to music, without actinl
scenery or costume, is to Mr p ,
ter “the very highest form of arC
It balances great masses of musk
against each other - building
sound an edifice of architectural
proportions. The “Messiah” is the
only truly important oratorio be
cause of its significance as a’
of Christmas.
Handel, in a state of depression
wrote the work which has made
him immortal, the “Messiah”, based
on a poem by his friend Charles
Jenaens. None of the text was
changed.
On April 12, 1742, the first hear
ing of the “Messiah” was given in
Dublin, Ireland. It was a remark
able success and to date has con
tinued as such.
