Expanding the Comfort Zone MAGAZINE 2012 EXPANDING THE COMFORT ZONE P2 Willing to Risk Failure | P4 Bragging Rights P14 Miss T @ 40 | P41 Honor Roll of Donors TAKING A STAND AGAINST BULLYING In October, which is designated as National Bullying Prevention Month, Salem Academy students united against the growing issue by creating t-shirts with slogans such as “The Cycle Ends Here” and “Spread Love, Not Hate.” The bright orange shirts, the color for the national awareness program, were seen throughout the campus as students wore them in solidarity with those who have been victimized by all sorts of bullying. “Bullying is an epidemic in all schools. Many people don’t realize the different forms of bullying and/or the long lasting effects it has on victims,” says Salem Academy counselor Jenny Orr, who spearheaded the project. “I did this project to educate the students about the different aspects of bullying, as well as empower them to stand up to bullies.” The girls’ project caught the attention of a local television news program and was broadcast on the morning show of the FOX affiliate, WGHP. –MICHELLE MELTON; PHOTOS BY MEGAN RATLEY ON THE COVER: At Salem Academy, a diverse group of girls from across the nation and around the world 13 live together in a community that is nurtured by faculty and staff. Among them is Mary Lorick “Miss T” Thompson, who for the last 40 years has guided generations of young girls through the challenging years of high school. As the assistant head of school and dean of students, Miss T has encouraged her students to expand their comfort zones, to try new experiences and be open to the unfamiliar, which has often led to discovering unknown gifts. On the campus, she has helped create an environment of respect, honor and kindness while reminding every student that Salem Academy is not just a school; it’s a home away from home.

  • A Loving Home's a Happy Home 19Th-Century Moravian Parlor Music by Lisetta and Amelia Van Vleck, Carl Van Vleck & F. F. Ha
    A Loving Home’s A Happy Home 19th-Century Moravian Parlor Music by Lisetta and Amelia Van Vleck, Carl Van Vleck & F. F. Hagen Rev. Dr. Nola Reed Knouse, Director, Moravian Music Foundation It is often stated that, for Moravians, music is an essential part of life, not something added later on when the essential things have been taken care of. We have long known of the great emphasis the Moravians placed on education of both boys and girls. Over the more than five hundred and fifty years since the founding of the Unitas Fratrum, these two emphases have been woven together into a rich and colorful history of music-teaching and music-making. The renewed Moravian Church in the eighteenth century, following Zinzendorf ’s recognition that men and women in various stages of life have different spiritual expressions, needs, and gifts, encouraged expressions of faith by women as well as by men. While we know of no Moravian women composers of sacred vocal music in the eighteenth century, there survive an immense number of hymn texts written by women—in fact, in an informal overview, the proportion of texts written by women seems to be greater in the 1778 Gesangbuch (German Moravian hymnal) than in the 1995 Moravian Book of Worship. Many of these are ones still known and loved today. Pauline Fox, notes that music manuscript books used from the mid-18th through mid-19th centuries among the Pennsylvania Moravians (like those originating among the Moravians in North Carolina) contain a wide variety of musical styles and genres—hymns, simple devotional songs, popular songs and piano works often appearing very soon after their publication.

Taylor August, 2014 Director of Thesis/Dissertation: Gerald A. Prokopowicz Major Department: History Old Salem Museums and Gardens is an open air museum in Winston-Salem, North Carolina that presents the history of the city’s original settlement. The museum contains one of the first official historic districts in the state, and is one of North Carolina’s first museums of its kind. Salem, North Carolina was a theocratic society that the Moravian Church founded and operated. One of Salem’s main features was its egalitarian nature.

    President OVERVIEW Salem Academy and College seeks an innovative, strategic, bold, and transformative leader who, in conjunction with the Board of Trustees, will lead Salem in our third century of educating girls and women to be global leaders. Salem College’s liberal arts tradition and its newly formed focus on health leadership, and the Academy’s personal approach to high-school education, as well as the array of adult learning opportunities, make this a very attractive leadership opportunity. Salem’s size means that teaching, learning, and leadership development can be individualized, innovative, and nimble. We seek a President who shares these qualities and is passionate about positioning Salem for strength and impact as a global leader in education for girls and women. For more detailed information on Salem’s new health leadership focus, please click here. INSTITUTION History: Salem Academy and College (Salem) began as a school for young girls in 1772 in the Moravian town of Salem, which had been established just six years earlier by Moravian missionaries. It is the oldest school for both girls and women in the United States. Although no longer a part of the Moravian Church, the school has been an integral part of the town of Salem and its history. Remarkably, the school’s doors have always remained open, even during the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Today the Academy and College share a 64-acre campus at its original location in the heart of Old Salem, part of the city of Winston-Salem. During its long history, the institution has developed into Salem Academy, a college preparatory school for girls in grades 9 through 12; Salem College, a liberal arts school for women; and the Fleer Center for Adult Education, as well as a graduate program, open to men and women.
