Participate, Urges Salemite Editorial, Sept. 12, 1925

There has been no request for an editorial on the following subject, but on behalf of the various organizations in school, we wish to make this request of the new student: Do not withdraw into an impenetrable shell of exclusiveness. Participate in student activities; join student organizations; be a part of the student body.

Forget the vast importance of yourself as an individual and realize the importance of yourself as part of an organization. As soon as a girl enters school, she automatically becomes a member of the Student Self Government Association, of classes, perhaps of departmental clubs. Do not ignore these responsibilities. Respond to contacts. Become an active member, not only of these organizations which you join involuntarily, but of others which you join of your own will. Be a necessary part of the student body!
