Stee Gee Holds
Honor Chapel
Founders* Day
Is Observed
“lute is a Ihree-lane highway—
■ '.an, God, and love,” said Rev.
ftcorge G. Higgins in his F'ounders’
Day observance speech yesterday
in chapel.
Rev. Higgins pointed out that
divinely created man shbuld use
God’s love and follow the example
of His Son’s life if he is to find
the adundant goal for which he is
searching.
Salem, he added, offers much to
the searching mind, ft encourages
the inquiring student, and does not
wish to stiffle any intellectual
thoughts, however radical they may
be.
Rev. Higgins asked students not
to become prisoners of their age,
but to search religious, political,
social, and economic processes for
improvement of their own lives.
“As duty demands that we think
of tomorrow rather than yesterday,
we should use the heritages of the
past to seek better futures,” he
said, as he pointed to Salem oppor
tunities for freedom of thought and
decision.
Life’s first principle is not the
enjoyment of it, he added, but the
usefulness of it. Keeping in mind
that love in reference to God means
giving without expecting any re
turn. Rev. Higgins concluded with
this thought, “The first principle
of life is to lose it for the good
of all.”
Honor Chapel was held in As
sembly last Tuesday with Alice
McNeely, president of Student
Government, presiding.
Rev. Edwin A. Sawyer explained
the importance of the Honor Sys
tem at Salem and the effect it
will have on our lives after grad
uation.
Betsy Forrest was elected vice-
president of the Student Govern
ment and installed along with
Jeanne Eskridge and Meredith
Stringfield, freshmen representa
tives to the Student Council. Also
installed were Ann Miles, freshmen
class chairman, and Mrs. Phyllis
Carswell, day student representa
tive to Student Council.
Alice also gave the oath of office
to Alison Britt, editor of the Salem-
ite and the seven house presidents.
Following the installations, the
m.embers of the freshman class
signed the honor book indicating
their promise to uphold the Honor
System.
