BI S V Now Princess Foiu ' teen was a very bright little girl, but her k Ki S K older sisters had always done everything for her; so now that K ' ' ' ' â– ' ' ' married she felt very helpless and liegan to cry. k ' There, there, don ' t cry, ' comforted her old nurse, H Student Government, ' for I will hel]) you manage the chil- M drcn and jivmish them when they behave badly. ' H ' . iid wi will lu ' Ip you train them to be u.seful, ' said H B the kindhearted little maids, Astrotekton, Philaretian and J ' I ' ' ' 11 teach them what is right, .so that they will B never wish to be naughty, ' chimed in Y. W. C. A. B ' Yo u are so very kind, ' saiil the Princess gratefully, H| B brushing away her tears. ' But what shall I do with the P V Oak Tree? My sisters charged me to tend it carefully, for it is still young, and unless it proves fruitful my father will have it cut down. He does not know how much we love the Oak Leaves which it bears every spring. Is there no one to help me with the (jak Tree? I am sure it will die! ' tlie Princess again burst out weeping. ' Then I came forward. ' Princess, ' I said, ' ILsten to the wi.sdom of your Black Cat. I will be your Pu.ss in Boots. Only give me a stout pair of shoes, for I have much walking to do, and leave this matter to me. . U will be well. The Tree shall not die and in the spring the Oak Leaves will be more beautiful than ever. ' The Princess did not put much faith in the words of her Black Cat, but 1 had heli)ed her out of so many tlifticulties that she no longer despaired. I bravely buttoned up my boots, took my traveling bag and walking stick, and, having called to- gether all the King ' s children, spoke thus to them before setting out: ' Children of the King, while I am away finding the things which will make the tree grow, you must tend it carefully. The things you jtut into it are the things that will show on its magic memory leaves. So water it with your brightest and mo.st original thoughts and lavish your attentions and labors upon it, and it will flourish. ' I then bade the Princess farewell and started on my journey. Before I had gone very far along the road I met an enormously fat man, riding in a fine coach drawn by four horses. The coach was loaded down with bags of money, so I knew at once that it was Lord Merchants ' Association. I stojipcd his coach and said ; ' Great Lord, my Mistress, the Princess Fourteen, solicits a contribution from you to be uscfl for the great Oak Tree, so that the magic Oak Leaves will bud in the spring. ' ' Yes, ' he replied, ' I have heard of the Oak Tree and its Leaves. But I gave to it last year and I am poor. I will give no more. ' Then I said, ' Very well, but the King ' s Household will no longer buy from you. ' With that Lord Merchants became very much frightened, so he took from his pile of money bags a very small one which he threw into my hands and drove rapitlly away. I stowed the money carefully away in my sack an l went on into the village. Here there lived th ree wise men named Photographer, Engraver, and Printer. To them I went and said, ' Come with me to the Palace of the Prin -ess, for we have heard that your wisdom is great. Yoiu ' services are desired for the great Oak Tree. You shall receive much money. ' So they followed me, and together we returned to the Princess. And then for long weeks and months we worked over the tree. We watered it with print- ers ' ink, fertilized it with zinc etchings and copper half tones, while photographs rained down on it from the sky. And the tree flourished and in the spring it brought forth the most won- derful big green Leaves ! And now, my dears, what do you think of the O. k Lea ' :es ' ?

Flossie ' 14 Funnies When Flossie came to Meredith College she was greatly bewildered and frightened, because she had never been away from home before. There were many dangers all aroimd her, but good fortune had sent a nice black cat to help her out of her troubles. One of the fh ' st things Flossie had to do was to organize her- self into a class, in order to be able to plan for the future. So with the help of the Juniors, who watched for the dreaded Sojjhoniores and their hated guardian, the dog Mike, Flossie and the cat were able to organ- ize without tiistvu ' bance, in the cemetery. After that Flossie was called Flossie ' 14 and the cat, Blackie. And the Soiiliomorcs were very, very cross. So on Hallowe ' en night they dressed like hon-id ghosts and came near frightening Flossie and Blackie to death. But they had their door securely locked, so nothing came of it, though they did tremble with terror as they watched the ghosts through the keyhole. But Flossie and Blackie ha d one hapjjy memory of this first year, for it was a very joyous time when they entertained their friends, the Juniors. The next year many maryelous things happened to Blackie and Flossie. It was exciting as could be to break up Freshman Class meetings by pouring salt in on them from the windows. And oh, it was just too fimny when on Hallowe ' en night Flossie, dtessed just like Blackie, made the weep-y little Newish dance ami sing. Blackie nearly laughed himself sick. The whole year only nice things seemed to happen. Blackie helped Flossie write the invitations and make the decorations for the Senior banquet, which was a very happy time. . nd my! but di ln ' t Flo.ssie fight hard to win the bas- ketball games that spring? And weren ' t Flossie and Blackie proud as peacocks, for they were the first under-class to ever win the Athletic Cup ! But the very nicest, and yet the saddest thing of the whole year was Commencement, when the Seniors marched through the daisy chain which Flossie and Hlackie proufUy held for them. Flossie and Blackie felt so very ha])py and dig- nified when, as Juniors, they proudly escorted the Seniors to a banquet at the Yarborough, that they could hardly eat anything. Though it was poiu-ing rain, they had a dandy time. It was during this year that Flo.ssie and Blackie searched all corners of the buildings anil groimds for the mysterious Crook. They lo-i-iie ' M - ' Ke6h7v ft loSS. t. ' 1 - ScpWo-rv,O C N were so persistent and bold that the Seniors became alarmed and spent most of their time jiuardinji it against those dreadful fom ' teens. One day Flossie and Hlaekie crept down into a dark hole and fownil a crook, but it was not the real, tall, beautiful crook, but only a fake one the Seniors had hid to fool Ihem. So at Commencement the Seniors said that. Blackie had gone back on Flossie, so they gave her a new black kitten. But he could never lake Hlackie ' s place in Flossie ' s heart, for Blackie had always aided Flossie in everything she did. The Senior year brought Flossie and Hlaekie many new and glorious privileges, of which the Juniors were quite envious. Flossie was hapjiy, most of all, in being allowed to entertain company all by herself in the parlors — at night ! Flossie and Blackie remembered the joy they had experienced when they hail been entertained in their Sii|)homorc year by the Seniors, so they delighted the Sophomore Bluebirds early in the fall with a delicious, homelike breakfast. But in spite of these nice things which were takitig place, poor Blackie was heart- broken and wept whole buckets of tears when Flossie and the Juniors decide l to give up I lie Crook. It was like jiarting with an old friend, and he took such pride in guarding it. One day Blackie was prowling around in an old garret when he foimd the most wonderful telescope in the world. Through it he and Flossie coidd see vis- ions of what would ha])pen to them the rest of their Senior year. First there were invitations to glorious Senior parties, then glimijses of basketball victories and the Athletic Cup. Examinations had to put in their horrid apjjearance, but these were the last ones Flossie and Blackie were ever to stand, so they didn ' t mind, much. Their hearts were gladdened at the end by the sight of the diploma, which was to be the climax of their adventures at Meredith. Blackie thought he caught sight of a Cupid, but Flossie says he didn ' t. Who knows? s Senior Class Poem The task is done which vc hail thought so hard, The distance, looking back, seems scarce a mile, An April day with clouds and sunshine barred, Since we began the work — a little while.

Ah, yet sober, we recall it was October, And each paling moonbeam Wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly we wished the morrow — ' uiiily we had sought to liorrow C ' loaks to hide om- awful fear — Fear of the dreadful Sophs .so near, ' hom the Freshmen so ignore, Hated here forevermore ! At once the soft, my.sterious .steps Of the Sophs who once were preps, Thrilled us — filled us — with such terrors As we ' d never felt before. On they came — the door went .shaking And the Fre.shraen stood there quaking; But our fluttering hearts grew stronger — Hesitating then no longer — we opened wide the door, Darkness there — and nothing more ! Deep into the ghost-gkjom peering Long we stood there — wondering, fearing As no Freshman ever feared before. But the silence was unbroken — the stillness gave no token, Not a sigh or word was spoken. Back into our rooms we went — weary, worn and spent. Soon again we heard a tajjping — louder than before. Surely, .said we, that is .something at the window lock. It can ' t be just a common knock. Nothing there to hinder, we opened wide the window . nd in there flew a spirit, with a motion swift and lyric. Not the lea.st noise made it, nor could we stop nor stay it; In it flew with gliding motion And breathed on us a mystic potion. Gha.stly, grim and white-robed spirit. Wandering from the Futiu-e ' s shore, Tell us what thy secret name is. Tell us Spirit, we ask — implore ! It uttered, Next year ' s Sophomore ! Then we thought the air grew denser. Perfumed from an imseen censer, Prophet ! cried we, thing so near. Prophet still, white-robed and drear, Wandering in this Room of Fear; Whether Futm-e sent or whether Past years tossed thee here ashore. Desolate, yet all undaunted In this Freshman room so luiunted.

We have reaped the benefits of the reforms and general improvements of 1913 in an unusually quiet and peaceful term, and we believe the spirit of tlie association has Ijcen gradually permeating the entire student body more and more tlioroughly, and the girls are realizing much more fully than they once did the real object of student government. They take a genuine pride in its work and a vital interest in all its affairs, and they now feel that it is one of the most important organizations in school and that it Ijelongs entirely to them. 43 r, Y.

This year has been an unusually busy one in Y. W. C. A. work and has been equally as beneficial. All the regular committees have had a definite policy and have striven earnestly to live up to them and carry them out. Another important committee has been organized, the Social Service Committee. The very name of this suggests its piu ' pose. One of the most important things that this committee has done was to send a Christmas box, valued at about twenty-five dollars, to the Watson boys of the Thomasville Orphanage. The Social Committee has put forth unusual efforts to uplift the social atmosphere of the school, through the social gath- erings and teas at the Tea Room in South Cottage. The Association Xews Committee also deserves credit for its wide-awake and energeti c services. In order tliat more girls might have the privilege and opportunity of taking both a Bible Study and Mission Study Class the Bible classes were ofTered in the fall, and mission classes in the spring. The enrollment in both these has exceeded previous j ' ears. But perhaps the crowning success of the year ' s work was the presentation of the Associa- tion pageant, The Ministering of the Gift, when we had as our guests about forty delegates from the various institutions and colleges of the State assembled for the State Student Council. Every girl in school had a part in this pageant, which represented the fourfold purpose of the Association, physical, mental, social and spiritual development of young women. We feel that each girl was made to love her Association more and to realize more than ever her opportunity in serving it. And thus being knit together in love we have tried lo Make Christ the pith of every thought, The ring of every word. The spring of every action. From Christ to ever. -thing. To Christ with everything. Face to face with Christ in ever.vthing. 46 w T.orisK FuTRELL, President Mae Grimmer, Vice-President Anne McKaughan, Secretary Lois Johnson, Treasurer jH t1|« V Astrotekton Hail ' .f J Chairmen of Committees, 1913-1914 Program Committee • Louise Watkins Social Committee Mary Pruette Finance Committee Lois Johnson Press Committee Marguerite Higgs Members Adams, Elizabeth Adams, Helen Alderman, Ethel Alderman, Lucy Allred, Nettie Anderson, Elizabeth Ashoraft, Annie May Aydlett, Helen Byrd Barrett, Mary Bailey, Beulah Ballentine, Lillian Ballentine, Mabel Bennett, Louise Benton, Eitnice Best, Anna Lee Best, Aldine Bird, Roselle Biggers, Caroline Blanchard, Mildred Brewer, Ellen Bridger, Mamie Brooks, Helen Campbell, Bessie Carter, Amy Carter, May Cox, Blanche Covington, Nell CoNYERS, Sara Craig, Annie Deaton, Ruth Dew, Teressa DeLoatche, Mary Eddings, Vann Eddings, Nora Edwards, Clota Tales, Lottie Farrior, Minnie Ferrell, Mary Fowler, Nell Freeman, Janie Futrell, Louise GosNEY, Minnie Griffin, Lillie Grimes, Addie Leigh Grimmer, May Gulley, Margaret Hall, Maude Hardison, Ethel Harrell, Lillian Harrill, Nell Harris, Roxie Heinzerling, Amy Heinzerling, Myrtle Higgs, Lelia Higgs, Marguerite Holding, Louise HocuTT, Naomi HocuTT, Rosa Hoover, Shasta Howard, Johnny Johnson, Kate Johnson, Lois Johnson, Mary Lynch Johnson, Sallie May JoYNER, Nancy Knott, Sophia Knowles, Katherine Lane, Eva LowRY, Carrie LowRY, Annie LuNN, Sadie Marshbanks, Flossie- Memory, Mary Mills, Minnie Mitchell, Zeula McKaughan, Anne McKenzie, Lsabel McKenzie, Mary McIntosh, Othello McIntosh, Elma Neal, Joe Newton, Clara Norfleet, Cullen Norfleet, Hontas NoRRis, Elia Oliver, Lucy Wood, Passie Owen, Grace O ' Neal, Emma Phillips, Lucile Pope, Annie Lee Pope, Margaret Poteat, Helen Pridgen, Roberta Pruette, ]VL ry Rogers, Janie Pearl RoYALL, Elizabeth RoYSTER, Esther Smith, Ethel Smith, Grace Snow, Maisie Stone, Alma Spigener, Lucile Stewart, Vada Thompson, Irene Vann, Dorothy Vann, Elizabeth Wall, Claudia Wall, Ida Wall, Martha Watkins, Louise Webb, Elodie West, Evelyn Wells, Carrie White, ] Iary Whitaker, Aline Williams, Clyde 50 â– ..

Louise Bennett was chosen president; Sallie Bullard, vice-president; Nell Covington, secretary, and Laviece Chambliss, treasurer. It is the purpose of these officers to make the Athletic Association a living factor in the college. Heretofore it ha.s been, for the most part, just a name. While the girls have always been interested in athletics, the class bas- ketball teams individually have been the ones most interested. Now, we are glad to see that they are taking more interest in tennis. Here they are almost rivaled by the facultj ! We hope to see Faculty v. Student, as well as inter- class, tennis games this spring. The baseball season for the boys ' colleges has now opened. That means serenades for us. In preparation for this ] Iiss Mary Pruette has been elected chief rooter. We intend to have this year well-learned songs and yells, so that when we .stand in the glare of the torches we can make a noise we are not ashamed of ! But that is not the only thing. The Athletic Association is doing differ- ent this year. It is also going to confer monograms. That sounds a little curious for a girls ' school and perhaps seems impracticable for ju.st girls, doesn ' t it? But it also seems reasonable that girls should deserve some recognition of their ability to play a clean, straight game of basketball or tennis. The best form of this recognition that we could possibly have would be initials of our col- lege. The ' SI. C. will lie conferred on those girls from each class who are judged to be worthy of this honor. No other girls in school will have the right to wear these monograms, and it is hoped that the wearers of the monograms will feel that it is an honor greatly to be appreciated and even coveted, because of the significant meaning that a monogram has. s ' ' « i.

C, Feb. 14, 1914.— Tlip final meeting, under tlie present nrranse- ment, of the Mereditli Rook Club was heUl last evening with Miss Carrie Sue Vernon as hostess. The members have entertained fortnightly in alphabetical order as to their names, until the last name has lieen retiehed. However these meetings liave ))rt)ved so successful so- cially and intellectually that arrangements will be made to continue them. The meet- ing yesterday, while it was presumably the last, was by . no means the least in either attendance or interest; on the contrary it was exceptional in both instances. The Proctors, House President and Student Gov- ernment President all tried to add amusement and interest to the occasion. After a short business meeting the tables were brought out and all engaged in playing Rook. The first jirize, a beautiful little book bound in white leather and entitled Mere- dith College Hand Book of Regulations, was won by Miss Nell Paschal. Miss Lelia Iliggs took the booby, which was an Honor- roll sli]), i)resented later in the evening. The regular members. Misses Sophia Knott, Mil- dred and Edna Bradshcr, Irene Thompson, Lelia Higgs, Nell Paschal and Carrie Sue Wrnon, were present. Very dainty refresh- ments were served at light bell, consisting of (R) Oyster stew and cold glances.

' ' Tis night The thoughts came swiftly: why the snow That brings such gladness some hearts know To make the street waifs suffer so? And on the paper there no rhyme Of accent sweet or thought sublime — So is it ever, time on time.

What ' s the news, Ann, from Newport? Did you hear from Mary to-day? Yes! I heard. Come in to dinner. I hear father calling us. No, thank you, I have had dinner down at the mill. I run up to see if there was any message from Mary. Ran, George Lee, ran, she corrected. But wait here until I tell papa what ' s keeping me. George sank down on a back porch chair and played with the inuu]: handle until Ann reappeared. George, I believe luck will be with you, this time. Mary got her diploma yesterday, and she ' s coming to Murphy to-morrow. Ann spoke hurriedly and confidentially; for she was the best friend in the world to this big, strapping mountain boy, all in the rough in regard to speech and manners; but full of enterprise, and possessing a heart of gold. Let me tell you, George, if you really want to win Mary, you ' ve got to look your best and speak correctly. You know she has been out with people who — Yes, I know, and I don ' t care a snap what they think. But I reckon I will have to mind out — are you sure Mary isn ' t crazy about any of those boys she ' s been writing you about? anxiously asked the boy, as ho pushed back his hair with his big, rough, and work-stained liand. Perfectly sure, returned Ann, and besides, George, she wrote me she had just heard Nordica, and that she didn ' t believe she ever could try to sing again. You see she is coming down some. She has found out that she isn ' t a ' diamond in the rough ' as she used to try to impress us. Bless her heart; she is the dearest girl in the world, and I wouldn ' t allow any one to speak of her in that way, except you, Ann. r Now you ' d better go slow, saucily answered Ann. I don ' t know that she would in the least appreciate your sympathy. Come, Ann, what did you say about luck with me? 0, yes. It ' s this. Mary was awfully disappointed because none of us was at the graduation. Mother got sick and couldn ' t go, and even kept father from going. And I, well, I just did not want to go, and didn ' t. More than this, she has had a terriljle longing and disappointed feeling ever since she heard that sure-enough swell singer. I believe her ambition will all melt this time. You know a lot about her, Ann. But do you know how determined she is, once she sets her head? I never will forget how I trieil to get her to j romise to write to me. She was afraid she would think too much aliout us, and not do all she might with her work. You might have said me instead of us, if you ' d wanted to. But tlic lurk part? O, yes. You can go and meet Mary, at Murphy, because father cannot go away and leave mother. Now you dress up your best, and put on your party manners. There goes your whistle. Yes, but I ' m the boss. I ' ll see you to-morrow evening. Thanks so very much for your part. It ' s nothing. Good luck to you, and she waved her hand, as she darted back into the kitchen. The boy turneil and ran all the way back to his mill. He was happy now, supremely happy. He was soon to have the opportunity of seeing the girl of his choice, and he was fully confident of himself and of his success. He had always been successful, why should he fail with a little, weak girl, even if she had been away to college and he had not? But he saw only one side, the bright side. The next day, about two o ' clock, the little train pulled up at Murphy, and Mary got off with all her belongings. The whistle blew, and the last car pulled around the curve as she turned and faced the station master, the only isil)le human being. Howdy, Miss Mary, we ' re powerfully glad to see you liack. That young feller of yourn wus here jest a minute ago. I reckon he has went up to the store for somethin ' . A wave of rebellious color pa.ssed over the girl ' s delicate features. Air you tired, little girl? You don ' t look so powerful peart. . X, No, Uncle Sam, I ' m all right. I have been sitting u]5 and losing sleo]); and I am tired from my journey. There ' s the boy. I guess the last part of your journey ' 11 be heaps pleas- anter. The old man ' s face wrinkled into a smile, and his kindly old eyes twin- kled with joy. Hello, Mary, glad to see you, said the Iroy as he shook her fragile little hand in a vigorous, whole-hearted way. And you ' ve come to meet me, she said with no pretense whatever of courtesy. The carriage is just back of the station. If you ' ll sit down Uncle Sam and — I — will soon have everything ready to start. She turned her head and stared at the back of the broad-shouldered boy, as he went out the door. The correct use of the first pronoun completely mysti- fied her. She was secretly so pleased to have George unexpectedly come to meet her that she was scared to death she would let it be known. All ' s ready, he called out in his cheeriest and most inviting tone, as he snatched up her suitcase in one hand and helped her along with the other. Uncle Sam was standing beside the conveyance to see that Miss Mary was comfortal ly stowed away, and to give George advice about the best road to take. His last word had reluctantly rolled out as George cracked his whip over the bays ' heads and away they sailed. They had not gone very far, just out to the old woods road, before George pulled in the horses to a slower gait. Well, Mary, what have you planned to do, now that you are through school ? He spoke in a tone encouraging confidence, and Mary was in the right mood to pour out her thoughts to some one. George, I don ' t know yet just what I shall do. You don ' t know — I have never talked to any one before like this; but I feel as if I am not so gifted as I once thought I was. I feel that I must, however, go on with my voice train- ing. I don ' t see how I covdd ever give it up. Why, I fairly live for it ! George looked at her with the most sympathetic expression. It ' s so hard to make any one realize that you want to do something worth while, she went on. The girls in school are all so low in their ideals. One of my classmates actually told me yesterday that she would rather get married to the boy she loved than to be Nordica, or any other person of prominence. Any- body can get married; but only a very few can be workl-famous! 0, I woiUd be so happy, if I could go about to different countries, and have everybody talk- ing about me! She stopped and took a deep breath as if she already had a foretaste of what such a life would be. But, Mary, have j-ou ever thought of what it takes to be ' world-famous, ' as you say? There are already crowds of people trying their hands at the sing- ing business, and failing. Do you know whether or not you have the capital for making a first rate singer? The question had never presented itself to her in ciuite that way before. She was staggered as by a ])low; she had not a word to reply, for ] Iiss Thomp- son, her teacher, had told her that her voice was only ordinarily good, although it was capable of being trained. Cicorge saw how far the thrust had gone, and tried to turn her thoughts in other directions. Ann told nie all about the beaux you were having. When are they com- ing over to see you? She looked at him closely to see if he were teasing to find out something, or if he were merely indifferent and wanted something to talk about. The sus- picion that he was liking Ann now, because she herself had always disregarded him so, crossed her troul)led brain. George, I have never seen a boy at college except when they were invited to a banquet or some social function. I have met quite a numlier and written to some of them; but I have not met any I really care for. They are nice, jolly fellows; but I am interested more in my — . Now, Mary, I want to know why you have never given me any chance then, if there ' s no one else? His voice was firm, but showed great earnestness. You know I have loved you for a long time. I have tried to show you, and you have alisolutely ignored me. Won ' t you tell me why it is? You needn ' t feel that I am going to hv hurt over what you sa.y. I would enough sight rather you ' d say something than to treat me as you do, and give no earthly reason for it. She tried to speak, but her voice gave way in a choke. Pritle and ambition held sway over her. George, you ' re not educated. She got it out, but every word seemed to burn her tongue as she uttered it. JM ' M So that ' s the reason. You don ' t think I am as good as you are because you have taken some of your father ' s money and gone off to school, and ' piddled ' away your time getting culture. His voice was low and musical, but full of suppressed emotion. The long ride, the sleepless nights, the disappointed feeling, and the fully justified rebuke were too much for Mary ' s sensitive feelings. She fell over on the back of the seat and wept. Thus far luck had indeed been with the lad, but would it go on? Mary, dear, I beg your pardon for speaking so plainly. I was so hurt that my feelings ran away with my judgment. Please do forgive me, and stop crying. I wouldn ' t say anything to hurt you for the world. He spoke so tenderly and pleadingly that she broke out weeping only the more. But she reached out her hand as a flag of truce until she got enough con- trol of herself to speak. The horses had been barely moving all during the conversation, and now came to a full stand-still. George, have you lost all respect for me, because I said what I did? she tremulously inquired. Not a bit in the world. You are the one woman for me, and I adore you so much that I can never cease to love you no matter what you say and do. The r ing of sincerity and truth in his voice swept away all further resistance, and she uncovered her tear-stained eyes, and put that hand beside the other one in his. You are such a noble fellow! The angels stooping down to earth could not have spoken words sweeter to his ear. He reverently gathered her hantls and tenderly kissed them. Elizabeth Anderson, ' 14. % s 1 «fc.

Sue Bunting dropped the broom, snatched her history from the table, looked around in vain for her fountain pen, and rushed down stairs to Chapel, every minute expecting the bell to stop ringing. Only every other button on her shoes was fastened, and they needed a shine. Her skirt didn ' t hang evenly and her middy blouse was far from having a spick and span appearance; the red tie had seen better days. Sue ' s hair was not artistically arranged, being higher over one ear than the other, and her face was innocent of powder. This was everyday-Sue. Susie Clarvoe Bunting heard with a thrill the last eight-thirty bell ring. She carefully picked her way among loureaus, tables, screen, washstand, chairs and four single beds, and calmly and slowly made her way downstairs, where Henry was waiting somewhere among the palms and music. Her slippers were French- heeled and small. Her dress fitted perfectly and was new. The pink of the flowers matched the pink of her cheeks, and slightly darkened eye-brows emphasized the blue of her eyes. Sue ' s hair was truly a work of art, being arranged in just the right angle over each ear and low over the forehead. This was part ' -Susie Clarvoe. A. B. ' 15.

SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1914 Price, Laughter MEREDITH SOPHOMORES ENTERTAIN SENIORS (Special from the Raleigh News and Observer.) On Monday evening, March 9, the seniors of Meredith College were given a most delightfully unusual dinner by the sophomore class. Promptly at 7:30 the seniors, with Miss Paschal as guest of honor, ap- peared at the main building parlors and were welcomed by Miss Mary Pruett, president of the sophomore class, who then proceeded to lead them through the five stages of a girl ' s life and incidentally through the five courses of the dinner. Soup was served in the back par- lor by a group of the sophomores dressed as little girls, with their short dresses and long curls. Across the hall coUege gu ' ls in typical costume served a salad course, and so on from building to building — each age becoming more and more attractive to the enthusiastic guests. A bride and her attendants in full wedding array received the party in East build- ing and helped them cut the wed- ding cake. The bride ' s bouquet was distributed to them when the time came to go. Dehghtful punch was the contribution of middle-aged so- ciety women in evening gowns, and the last stop was with the quaint old white-haired grandmothers in South Cottage, where they treated the com- pany to coffee, mints, and salted nuts before a cheerful open fire. Such a pleasant event as this one has seldom been enjoyed by the se- niors, and to Miss Pruette and her class was accorded much praise for their originahty and hospitality. SOPHOMORES THREATENED WITH DIRE CALAMITY AVERTED BY QUICK ACTION Raleigh, N. C. — On the morning of February the ninth, Irene Thomp.son, a prominent member of the Sopho- more class alarmed, everybody at the breakfast table by her strange actions. The meal was proceeding as usual when Irene, suddenly becoming as pale as death threw up her hands as if in extreme peril and not waiting to be excused rushed from the table, turning her chair in her haste. By the time she had reached the door in her flight everybody in the diiling room was silent. She could be heard making her way up to the third floor two or thi-ee steps at a time. In about three minutes she returned with a calm, happy face, looking as it she had narrowly escaped some dread- ful event. j When everybody inquired about the j cause of all the disturbance, Irene re- phed with a happy smile, I suddenly remembered that I had carelessly for- gotten to bring down Miss Colton ' s water bottle. Thank Heaven, I re- membered it in time ! Did yovi know that there are two girls in Meredith College named Hein- zerUng? You wouldn ' t if they didn ' t have a good-looking brother! ! THE NIGHT OF THE SOPHS. On Hallowe ' en night at the first sound of visiting beU the long sup- pressed excitement of the Sophomores seemed to burst forth. Their hour had at last arrived. Tlirough corri- dors, up and do vn stairs, from every direction, rushed the mystic Sopho- mores, eager to be among the first at the appointed place of meeting, the business hall on the fourth floor of Faircloth Hall. The room, dimly lighted by jack-o ' -lanterns, had a wierd and ghostly appearance. The sight of the sumptuous feast spread on the floor in picnic style brought forth many war-whoops of dehght. Soon the energy that had been expended in war-whooping was turned into even more enjoyable chjinnels — for the feast hafl begun. The scene presented was very pic- turesque, thirty girls in various col- ored kimonos seated on sofa pillows around the tempting feast. Fried ; chicken rapidly disappeared— all but the bones which were buried among j the autumn leaves on the floor. Just before the ice-cream was served, and while the excitement was at its height, there was a hush; a gentle tap on the door arrested everybody ' s at- tention. Being prepared for almost anything, someone ventured a faint Come. In walked — not a spook — but Miss Paschal. The pressure was so tense that no one was able to take in her message, and she departed as silently as she had come. When they had recovered from . this shock the merriment was renewed by ice-cream, war dances, and college songs appro- [ priate to the occasion. Until the wee I small hours all care was forgotten. When they came down to earth again , the Sophomores found everything dark and silent. Midnight — and all is well with the Newish.

EDITORIAL For ages past it has been the undis- puted right and pleasure of the Sopho- mores to take charge of the Freshmen and make it plain to them the ex- alted (?) place they are to hold during the first year of their college Ufa. Many of the Xewish come to college fresh from being High School Seniors and their heads are filled with nothing but their own praises; of course each one expects to be distinguished from the rest. Nothing could be more proper than that the Sophomores who have traveled along the same road should give the Newish the benefit of their experience. It is best for the new girl to learn as soon as possible that she is really nothing but a little Newish — very unimportant and inconspicuous. There is danger of her becoming fresh unless she is made to realize a few things at first. The Soph- omores are the ones that are fitted for this position. Now making the Freshmen realize a few things does not mean hazing them or even near-hazing them. It can be accomplished by simple meth- ods known only to Sophomores. When this estalilished riglit of the Sophomores in regard to the Newish was taken away, what was the result? The Newish began to think they had as much influence in school as the Sophomores. They boldly posted class meeting notices on the official bulletin -board; they soon learned the one weak spot in the Sophomores ' armor and immediately began to brag, you can ' t do nothing. IVfiss Paschal told us so. And the Sophs had to grin and bear it when they afi inwardly raged. Now that the end of the year is near- ing they are becoming a httle more reconciled; it must be that the Junior spirit is not so very far away. And next year when we are Juniors we ' ll watch with delight the way in which the incoming Sophs will bravely bear up under the hold-down. BOOK SHELF pro t;rbs and phrases (Special to Newish.)

THE HALLOWE ' EN BREAKFAST. SENIORS ENTERTAIN SOPHS. On the day bpfove Hallowe ' en the Sophomores were surprised when they came from class and found waiting for them an invitation sealed with a black cat seal. We were bidden to: Come softly and stealthily to an early gathering of the Black Cats. Place, Main Building Dining-room. Time, Friday, seventy-thirty a. m. A minute after the first breakfast bell rang there was an excited crowd standing at the dining-room door. When it was finally opened, we saw a table long enough for about fifty people, everything suggestive of Hal- lowe ' en. Two little black cats were in the center — one looking towards the Senior President, the other looking towards the Sophomore President. Just over these was a jack-o ' -lantern from which ribbon bands of yellow extended to the table, forming a circle. Scattered around on the table were pumpkins, and black cats grin- ning at us. The place-cards were decorated with black cats and jack- o ' -lantern pins. When we took our seats Hallowe ' en faces carved on oranges looked up at us. The breakfast was such that it de- lighted our very souls. The first course, grapes and oranges, made us think of Hallowe ' en, and the fried chicken and hot rolls made us think of home — or something else just about as inspiring. From seven-thirty until eight-thirty seemed only a Uttle while, we so thoroughly enjoyed every min- ute of the breakfast. When Chapel bell rang we pinned the black cats on our backs and the pumpkins and place- cards on our ties and came down to earth again. After this we are more than ever in love with our Seniors ; in fact, we know that there never was such a Senior Class. Miss Snyder has a statement to make: When I first came to Meredith, all the Bows I had I wore on my head. SPONSOR RECEPTION (In honor of the W. F. C. Freshmen) Special from Raleigh News and Ob- server. — On Saturday evening, March 21st, a reception, one of the most de- lightful of the season, was given to the ' ake Forest Freshmen by their chosen Sponsor, Nell Covington. The guests received cordial greetings at the front door by Miss Louise Watkins, whereupon Miss Teressa Dew, after showing them to the cloak room, in- troduced them to the receiving line, composed of Miss Paschal, Dr. Poteat (President of Wake Forest College), Misses Nell Covington, Lucye Oliver, Helen Poteat and Louise Holding, who awaited the guests in the West Parlor. At the foot of the receiving line Misses Laviece Chambliss and Isabel McKenzie distributed Tete-a- tete Program cards in the form of dance cards. The monotony of the usual formal reception was hereupon re- lieved and the guests after being served to punch in the East Parlor began the delightful task of filling out their cards and in the same time be- coming acquainted with the numer- ous friends of their hostess. Strains of music coming from an orchestra half secluded by palms added to the enjoyment of the evening. Misses Hontas Norfleet and .Josephine Neal served punch at the end of the Main Corridor in an attractive looking re- treat. After the refreshments, con- sisting of cream and cake, were served all gathered around the Sponsor as she in a very attractive manner quoted poetry, written for the oc- casion, and pinned the class colors on the president and declared the class to be Our heroes of the years to come. Applause after applause went up and the president in a very enter- taining manner made a ' ' farewell ad- dress, declaring, in behalf of the W. F. C. Freshman Class, Miss Coving- ton to be an ideal Sponsor. What do you think? Mildred Mc- Intyre shed tears more copiously than WE SHOULD WORRY !

' 4l Cloud Castles I lay on my back at harvest-time And minded the corn-field gate, While over my head the billow-j ' clouds Were Ijuilding my gorgeous fate. I watched enraptured — a child of seven — Those moving pictures on the heaven. A castle I saw and ' twas wondrous fine With burnished dome and towers, While beautiful around the door Clung a vine with creamy flowers. I fancied the inside with gold did shine, And idly dreamed that it all was mine. O, I was a king, and a queen there was — We sat on a golden tlirone. Or rode a white steed with his trappings gay That glittered and gleamed and shone. Loud cried a voice that I dared not scorn, Crashing my castle — Cows in the corn! Propinquity Said Clara, If I could just get him off to myself I believe he would make love beautifully. I am a firm believer in propinquity. Said Bol). I haven ' t been with her alone at all, but in a crowd she ' s a peach! The crowd was a merry one. The big porch was filled, and the young people s]5illed over on the lawn, all velvety green with the new grass. The night was ideal, the moon and stars giving just exactly the right amount of light for a party in May. Clara maneuvered so that Bob, the unsuspecting, should ask her to stroll with him. They sauntered carelessly down toward the big gate. On the left was an enormous oak, under which Bob proposed they sit down. As this was what Clara had been saying under her breath ever since they had left the porch — trying mental telepathy on Bob — she obeyed with alacrity. All was going nicely. Bob even had one of Clara ' s little hands imprisoned between his big brown ones. He was certainly going to warrant her belief in him and propinquity ' in a mighty short time when she inadvertently lowered her head too quickly — and her false curls dropped off. Bob considerately arose and strode away. Propinquity didn ' t pro-pinciue. L. B. ' 14. Toast — The Senior I toast her not as she is today, For who can tell what she is, I pray? When into her deep eyes I go prying, I can ' t see what back of them there is lying. I toast her not as she yet may be; The picture unpainted I cannot see: Will her hair be absent or white or what. Will her teeth be many or few or not? I toast her as one of the used-to he ' s ' ith prim white pinafore up to her knees, â– ith little girl sashes, smart and smack. And pig-tails hanging adown her back. if ' .M TuE College Choir vis The West Wind ' s Tale The day was fearfully warm for even the last of May. I was doing all I could in the way of making a breeze. I had all those old trees on the Carson lawn bending and swaying like darkies at a dance. I had tried to chase that little cloud hanging over Mt. Kimball down into the valley, but the stubborn little thing just clung all the tighter to the mountain ' s hoary head. I did get its left wing tilted a little, but Big Brother East Wind angrily shoved it back. Sister South Wind wliispered drowsily, Now, Sister West Wind, just you go on back down there and do the best you can. Let Rain Cloud alone if he doesn ' t want to go. I wish Brother North Wind would help me a little, I sighed. But I guess he is busy elsewhere. He ' s very seldom in North Carohna this late in the spring. Then I took Sister South Wind ' s advice, and blew myself softly dowTi in the valley. And, as I said, I was really making quite a commotion for one so gentle as I. The big oak by the gate, the one that shadowed the right side of the tennis court, muttered impatiently: Oh, let me alone, can ' t you? I was just congratulating myself on having one whole afternoon of undisturbed peace. I slowed down considerately. The oak had always been my friend because lie furnished the shade Garah and Betty loved to play tennis in. But for that matter, Betty would play tennis regardless of sun or shadow, and Garah, — well, anything that Betty was a part of suited Garah. Consequently, I was not sur- prised when I saw them leave the porch and stroll toward the court. I confess I had been a little worried earlier, because I knew this was Garah ' s last chance — Commencement was over the next day. Still, as I said, I was really not surprised. Big Garah Winters wore white flannels and carried his racket and two porch pillows. Betty wore the trimmest of little white dresses and carried her own racket. She always did — carry her own racket, I mean — and, yes, she nearly always wore white. This afternoon she had wavered a little between white and a fresh little green thing she had just made. (I pushed her curtain aside and f ' ' -f i k peeped.) Now, I knew that Garah loved her best in white — Hked her best, per- haps I should say, because he undoubtedly loved her in any color — for hadn ' t I heard him say, not quite a week ago, as he watched her coming do ai to his buggy, You Beautiful ! White is your color ! (He just breathed this to me. What he said to her was: Betty, you look as fresh as a sweet pea ! Hop in by yourself, won ' t you ? Dandy ' s restless to-day. ) So when she was dressing, I had contemptuously tossed the green dress aside, blowing it just hard enough to make it slip off the chair. Betty must have understood me, because she put on the white one. Garah threw the pillows under the oak and took the sunny side of the court. In another minute his hearty Ready? rang out. Betty ' s Serve! flashed back quite as swiftly. Not until then tlid I realize what a terrible mistake I had made. Sister South Wind has told me time ami again that I was a mediller, that I concerned myself entirely too much with other people ' s business. Here it was Garah ' s last day and they were inlaying tennis, when all the time he wanted her to him- self under the oak! Whj ' hadn ' t I kept still? I guess even Betty ' s temerity would have quailed before tennis without my occasional breeziness. Of course Garah was too good a sport ever to suggest resting before Betty did, but once he murmured quite distinctly (to me), as he stooped for a ball, Darn! Well, I would try to undo the mistake I had so thoughtlessly committed. Then I began to blow so hard you could almost believe Big Brother East Wind was present. I shall blow their balls away! I panted fiercely. The strain began to tell on me fearfully. Rest! Rest! I wheezed painfully in Betty ' s ear. I caught the few strands of her hair that she occasionally let escape and whipped them around until I had that whole glorious red mop of hers looking tumbled and heavenly. Garah, we simply can ' t play in this wind. Come on, let ' s rest awhile under the oak. Maybe it will die down presently. But I had -no intention of dying down for some time to come. If I was going to help Garah I was going to do it thoroughly, and I couldn ' t trust Betty to stay ofT the court yet. Betty sat down and leaned back against the oak. Garah dropped down on her right, clasped his hands and drew his knees up, resting his chin on them. , s J M His face was not so very far From tlie top of Betty ' s head, so I tried a little experi- ment of my own. While slie was industriously shoving in hair iiins and trying to subdue riotous locks, I took a particularly long strand ami whipped it across ' his cheeks. The blood poured into his face, and as quickly left, leaving him pale, for all of his sunburn, and his eyes were as black as blue eyes can be. He threw back his head. Betty! He said it rather queerly. Um-m-m? There were three hair pins in Betty ' s mouth, and her head was bent over so her arms would reach the back of her neck, where she kept most of her hair. Garah did not speak for a moment. When she had pushed in the last hair pin, Betty looked up. Yes? she smiled, conversationally inclined. Do you know I am going to leave to-morrow? I ' m sorry. Betty spoke very simply and looked steadily into his eyes. Really sorry, Betty? So sorry you want me to come back again? Garah, leaning forward, read a question in the eyes raised so frankly to his. You know I love you, don ' t you, Betty? You know I haven ' t spoken before because I wasn ' t sure about that position until this morning; and when I told you that, I wanted it to mean to you what it does to me. Garah ' s face was still rather pale and his fine young eyes looked a little troubled. I thought I could rest now — there was no fear of Betty thinking tennis for some time. Then, too, I wanted to listen. (I guess I shall have to own up to being what Sister South Wind calls me.) You see, there were Jim and Bob, Garah went on. I knew you liked them pretty well, and of course they worshiped you. I wonder if you ever reahzed how it hurt me that night you went with Jim to Crowder ' s Pond. You went with Edith — and appeared consoled. Betty poked her fingers through her racket one at a time. She didn ' t look up. Betty! Garah tried to look in her eyes turned so wilfully downward. If — if you don ' t take your head away, I ' ll run my fingers through your hair! Betty spoke Ijreathlessly. And I ' ve heard boys don ' t like that. But it ' s t-tempted me so long! And well it might. It was a particular delight of mine — rumpling up that black hair of his. It wasn ' t exactly curly, but it undeniably ' had wavy propensities. g|r? ' ,- : iJ ' f flHf ' ? 7 ? - •4 ' , You darling! Garah reached down and took Ixjth lier hands in one of his. Look at me, he commanded. Instead she looked at her hands, or rather at his, for hers were not visible — Garah jilayed baseliall. He could resist no longer. The appeal of that little chin was maddening, so he cupped his other hand and raised her head. Dearness, do you think you could care? he asked unsteadily. Betty ' s face was flushed, but her eyes did not waver as she looked at him. Say it, won ' t you? wistfully. I love you, said Betty. God bless the West Wind! Garah said softlv before he kissed her. .v . -a ' - I always like to be appreciated liy my friends.

And tender words, and tones so honey sweet Accomp ' ning them that e ' en would blush the candy At being thus excelled in its own sphere; Or whether, when the youths, my comrades, friends. Shall gaily journey down the wcll-knonm way. Nor stop, nor pause till foremost in the ranks That form so swiftly, jiromptly, in the streets — Shall I with sorrow watch them thus depart; To the Parade Ground hurr ' ing take myself. And drill and drill and drill on Saturday — Because I went to Meredith on Monday? TO THE MEMORY OF THE CROOK ABOLISHED NOVEMBER 11, 1913 BY JOINT ACTION OF THE SENIOR AND JITNIOR CLASSES 110 Why the Crook Was Abolished 1. The search for the crook made it a matter of class loyalty for the girls to be up late at night looking for it. This was not only highly injurious to their health, but it was also dangerous and unwise for girls to go in small groups or alone about the campus, or from building to building, in the dead of night. In addi- tion, as commencement approached, the nerve tension became fearful, and this strain fell on the girls most in need of rest. 2. The search for the crook made invalid all the laws governing personal conduct. It not only gave a girl license to break the rules of Student Govern- ment, but also gave her the right to go through another person ' s property with- out restriction. This was not right. 3. The search for the crook, when it created any spirit at all, created one of antagonism and hatred between the classes. There have been years when the crook created no spirit at all. But there have been times when it has caused unbelievable bitterness, not only between classes, but individual girls. Friend- ships have been broken up, and shameful things have been said and done in the cause of the crook which can probably never be undone. 4. The search for the crook was not one which could be limited. A choice was necessary. And while for many reasons it was hard for the Junior and Senior classes to give it up, we feel that we have chosen the better part; and are we not fully justified in this belief by the wonderful new spirit of friendliness now exist- ing between us?

The usual boning business was transacted, each Senator handing in her list of the girls who were flunking in her courses. The resulting heated debate between the members of the Senate as to the relation of the different methods of teaching employed to the number of girls who failed was brought to a close by the speaker, Senator Paschal from Principalia, who wished the Senators to give their undivided atten- tion to the reading of a recjuest from the Soniori, a small but powerful political faction in the collegium. Speaker (reading): To the most august body, the Senate of Meredith Collegium: We the undersigned do most humbly petition that, in view of the following reasons, we may be allowed to use the one night on which we are permitted by your good graces to be absent from the collegium, to attend, with proper chaperons, the Almo Motion Picture Theatre. I. This theatre shows only standard pictures, and is patronized by thor- oughly respectable people, among them members of your own body! Senator Smith: Can it be possible — the audacity! One of our body! I ' m sure I ' ve never been seen in the place. But it shows the trend of the times — people will Senator Colt on: Miss Speaker. Speaker: The Senator from Literaturia. Senator Colton: I think the request should be entirely read, and then discussed on its merits. All Senators together: It has no merits ! We have been slandered ! We will not hear it read ! The nerve, etc. Speaker (rapping on desk) Order! (Absolute silence.) It appears that there are no valid reasons given here for our granting this request. I have not read them all, Init judging from the merits of this first one, it seems unnecessary to do so. But before any general discussion takes place, I wish to state my own opinion. The Seniori now have entirely too many privileges. If they are allowed to acquire any further power, we will soon not be able to hold them in check. As it is, they are becoming lawless with their sense of freedom. One m of this body has been guilty of detaining her caller three seconds after first room bell for two consecutive Saturday nights, and another one actually remained away from church last Sunday because she had the privilege of doing so. Knowing these things as I do, I think it would be the height of folly to increase their powers in any way. But the question is now open for discussion. Senator Colton: If what you say is true, the matter of increasing their privileges is indeed one for consideration. However, I still contend that this question should be decided on its own merits. I at least am open to conviction. Senator Freeman: It seems to me that the question has a moral side. What effect would constant attendance at the movi ng picture show have on the character of the young ladies? Senator Smith: Pernicious! It would take their minds entirely offen their serious work and strengthen the habit of passive attention, which they ought to inhil)it. Then think of the inmioral effect of those vile pic Senator Day: For my part, I don ' t think the movies so bad — I go to them often to Other Senators (horrified) : You! Senator Day: Yes, and I ' m not the only one, either! They rest my mind. Nice people go to them, and I don ' t see why the girls shouldn ' t be allowed to. Senator Boomhour: The young ladies would behave properly, would they? Senator Vann: Is it true, as I understood, that the privilege was with- drawn because it was abused? Senator Young: It seems to me that the moving picture show is a place entirely improper for a ny one of refined taste, and especially for young girls. Speaker: Order! Are you ready for the vote? (Silence.) Speaker: All in favor of refusing the petition of the Scniori for anj ' reason whatever will make it known by saying ' aye ' . Several: Aye. Speaker: All opposed for any reason, ' no ' . (Silence.) Senator Smith: Miss Speaker. Speaker: The Senator from Progressia. Senator Smith: I notice that Senators Day and Colton have not voted. This lack of unanimity is dej lorable. But however we may be divided among n9 Â¥! Z ' ' - ourselves behind closed doors, we must present a solid front to the opposition. Now what shall we give to the Seniori as our reason for refusal? (Silence) Senator Young: Might we not say that a privilege should mean some- thing they have attained to, and that this seems unworthy of being put in that class? Speaker: That is indeed a very worthy sentiment, Senator Young. Sec- retary Loomis, you will please prepare a report to this effect and submit it to the Seniori. After the Senators had drawn straws as to who should get to breakfast on time each week for the ensuing month, the assembly adjourned to get the mail. R. C. Paschal, Senator from Principalia, (Speaker. B. L. Loomis, Senator from La Tinia, Secretary. •% 1 116 %i ' ' Rondeau My lady ' s eyes are blue as skies of May When tlanfing sunbeams in their far depths play; And all the earth and heaven can hold for me Of bliss or Ijane, or joy or misery I find within their glances, grave or gay.
