Fall Fest Activities Announced
by Amanda Mays
Fall Fest, the annual
playday at Salem College,
will be Monday. The schedule
for the day is as follows; a
rousing wake-up by seniors,
getting dressed in class
costumes, eating Ron’s
sugarcake and bacon,
discovering class secrets and
anticipating the remainder of
the day.
Juniors, sophomores, and
freshmen go to breakfast at
8; 45, shortly before the
seniors enter at nine. Dr.
Morrill, Salem College
President, and Serena
Sapuppo, Chairman of Fall
Fest, will address students
before everyone parts for
entrance.
A short break will precede
lunch in Salem Square.
During lunch Archways,
Dansalems and Spirit, Salem
Academy’s singers offer
entertainment.
After lunch games will be
held on the soccer field.
Events will include tug-of-
war, water-baUoon toss, toilet
paper roll, and other com
petitions between the four
classes.
The field competition will
be followed by dinner at 5; 30.
After a short break everyone
regroups before putting on
their class skit in Hanes
Auditorium at 7 p.m. Class
skits are centered around the

You have probably run into
her on campus, either going
to Fall Fest practice, at
tending SGA or running to
class. She’s already a
Sailemite and her command of
the English language would
never lead one to believe that
Swedish is her native tongue.
Agneta Perman, 19, is a
member of Salem’s senior
class this year and is from
Stockholm, Sweden. She is
the daughter of Dr. Einar
Perman, who specializes in
internal medicine, of
Stockholm and Mrs. Gunvor
Kellberg of Oslo. She has a
brother, Jonas, who is 16 and
lives in Stockholm. Agneta
also has a sister, Yvonne, who
is 14 and lives in Oslo.
When asked if her brother
and sister had ever visited the
United States, Agneta
teasingly replied, “No and
they’re really jealous.’’
Agneta’s first trip to the
United States was when she
was two years old and came
to Boston with her family on
business. Other more recent
trips include a trip she and
her father made touring Los
Angeles, New York City,
Philadelphia and “believe it
or not, Des Moines, Iowa!” in
the spring or 1977.
During the summer of 1978,
Agneta attended the
Marlborough School in Los
Angeles. The Marlborough
School is a private girl’s high
school.
However, during the
summer Agneta attended.
Proposition 13 caused a few
changes in the school’s all girl
attendance. Because many
public summer schools closed
down due to Proposition 13,
males and females attended

Phase I, Phase II.. .
New Complex Under Construction
(New)

Imagine a junior olympic-
size swimming pool and a
large new gymnasium
available for student use and
just a few steps from the
dormitories. Construction on
Phase I of The Salem
Academy and College Student
Life and Fitness Center is on
schedule, and all signs in
dicate that it will be com-,
pleted on the target date of
July 15, 1982.
The center, which will be
used by students of both the
Academy and the Collge, will
not merely be another gym.
Rather, it will be a very
appealling complex which
will fit comfortably into the
Moravian brick style of Old
Salem while incorporating
such modern architectural
features as plaza walkways,
an atrium, and vaulted
ceilings. In Phase I, an indoor
junior Olympic size swim
ming pool (25 meters long)
with a single one meter diving
board will be constructed.
Numerous sliding glass doors
along the wall of the building
will allow the pool area to be
opened up in fair weather.
The new gymnasium will
contain two comts for class
and intramural play and an
additional large court for
intercollegiate competition.
All the courts will be ap
propriately marked for
badminton, basketball, and
volleyball. Two locker rooms,
each designated for use by
Academy and College
students and several offices
will be included in Phase I.
The science building will
afford a picturesque view of
the pool through the sliding
glass doors.
In Phase II, the present
Student Activity Center will
be entirely renovated. The
dance studio will remain on
the third floor, but a snack
bar, a lounge, and student
