Nowhere on earth is life more glad Than in the mountains in the spring; Nowhere is sweeter music than Tlic birds ' wild carolling. Although adown those valleys deep Magnolias do not pour perfume, . Although beside those dear, green streaii No flaunting flowers bloom. Spring gives the mountains loveliness That cannot be upon the plains; Under the leaves arbutus hides Along the narrow lanes; And long-stemmed violets fling out Their carpets wide of deep, deep blue. Wild crocuses spread spotted leaves To catch the sun and dew. Leone W. rrick. ' A ' ' -. ' AU V ' vk V VV V VVvVVVV V ,VV ' v ' s .

The Meredith spirit was in evidence everywhere at the Station — the ' 23 arm bands, Y. W. C. A. Committee, and Bonis, to whom a Mer- edith audience needs no introduction. We all but met our Waterloo in the hideous nightmare of classification, and to this day we have marveled at how we lived through it all. When once the routine was begun, we were astonished that our professors did not seem to be impressed with our brilliance — had we but known the truth, they were overcome with depression — but we bore up bravely. However, we did feel a bit downhearted when our weekly, not to say weakly, themes were returned completely obliterated with red ink and a neat little rewrite at the end; neither could we fully appreciate the beauty of the theorem of Pythagoras, much to Mr. Canady ' s wonder and disgust. We were piloted through these trials by our faithful juniors. The sophomores, too, did their part, for they forced us to submit to many indignities, such as making us plait our hair (now you will realize how very long ago this was, my children) in two braids and tie it with green rib- bon, and wear our dresses backwards. Tlicy afterwards said — even admitted to us though this was after we had shared the Junior-Senior library together — that we were really good sjmrts. Though we were always ju-nnd nf licing an odd class, we did not come into a full appreciation of what it meant until the night our Big Sisters entertained us in the Society halls when Little Miss Muft ' et, Queen Elizabeth, and little gypsy girls learned that a common bond held them together. It was at this time that we became acquainted with Dese Bones Gona Rise Again, one of the proudest pos- sessions of the odd classes. At last Christmas came, and I know there was never a Christmas since time began which was so eagerly anticipated ! After a wonderful holiday, we returned to face an ordeal — second to none, not even classification and Soph Night Off — exams. These days that were as a thousand years came to an end, however, and the rest of our freshman year passed more smoothly. The corners had worn oif somewhat, and we were becoming Meredithized. Who would think that one year could make so much difference? We had under- gone a complete metamorphosis — we were old girls, we were the lords of creation, we were sophomores ! All of our ambitions were realized, and how superior we felt when newish with frightened eyes would whisper, Sh! She ' s a soph ' more! Of course, they were utterly beneath our notice, but we saw to it that life didn ' t get too monotonous for them, both for their own edification and — incidentally, yes certainly incidentally — for ours. They were serenaded with The Sophs, they rule l(llUU ' VV : V. ' ' VA. VVUWV VVVVV VVVV .VV VVVkVVVK VV vv k .k ii . j; 1 p 0a.k. Lea-v es j ■In the N ewish today and We ' re the Sophs of Twenty-five — in other words, the Soph spirit had descended npon us in full foree. We made them wear tiny spoons on green ribbons around their necks, and for one whole day, whether they were eating Hershey ' s or meat (our own particular variety), the spoon was the only Meam of Conlrol (Mr. Perry ' s Ed. 46). On another day they diverted us by carrying around suitcases to class, to chapel, to the dining-room — in fact, every- where; and sometimes, if a newish was unusually fresh, her bag, if left outside the classroom door, became strangely heavy — a thing which never could be ex- plained. All of this led up to the grand climax of Soph ¥ight Off. The black hand reigned supreme, and the class of ' 26 learned that its gi-ipping might was no vague dream but a reality. On that night at six o ' clock in our black and white costumes, we entered the dining-room led by our Mascot, the witch, and prepared the scared newish in song for what was to come later. After dinner, we went to Blue Moon Inn where we passed much time in revelry — then we came back to punish fresh newish. Another thrill came the night our ' 25 was painted by the State Sophomores, and though our numerial was erased a few days after, their satisfaction was short-lived, for the next morning brought a ' 25 much newer and brighter, and we had the particular satisfaction of seeing traces of our ' 25 even after we were Juniors! Stunt Night, an event which is always anticipated with keen interest, brought with it as our contribution, A Symphony in Black and White — needless to say, a take-off on the freshmen. The cup, presented for the first time, went to our beloved Seniors, the class of ' 23. Social events came ■i.th the spring. The Seniors entertained us at a Valentine party, which we will always remember as one of our most delightful parties, but it was tinged with sadness, for we realized that soon they would be leaving us. The traditional party for the State Sophomores was given in April, and soon after we entertained our Senioi ' s at an old fashioned May-day festival The Society halls wei-e transformed into a village green, and upon their arrival the Seniors were pre- sented with colonial bouquets by dainty little flower girls. The age-old games, particularlj- ye May pole dance, transported us to Merrie England. Perhaps the most attractive spot on the village green was the well, covered with ivy and moss, from whose cool dej ths we drew the sparkling ale. Commencement of 1923 arrived, and the day had at last come when we could really carry the daisy chain ! There is nothing which means to a sophomore what that does. She learns that Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought. The Class Day exercises took place out-of-doors. We marched slowly across the campus singing the odd-class daisy chain song, while the Seniors walked in single file between. We think it was the most beautiful daisy chain ever made, and our Senior sisters — whose opinion matters most — uphold us. As an accom- paniment to these interesting activities, we found time in our spare moments to perform the necessary classroom work — chiefly Sophomore English. Eighty-ono Our Junior year was quite different from our first two. Though it was rather quiet, considering it all in all, it was certainly one of the most satisfactory. Per- haps, we even began to acquire some of the dignity which should be the natural part of an upper-classnian. The freshmen, our freshmen because our chief joy and pride. We realized that they were worthy of carrying on and upholding the odd class traditions, and we tried to be as good to them as our juniors were to us when we were freshmen. Each junior invited her little sisters to Sunday night parties ; and in February we gave them a George Washington party. With the coming of spring our minds turned toward thoughts of the Junior- Senior banquet. The college dining hall became a flower garden and evening dresses, flowers, toasts and men made this a memorable occasion. At last we were Seniors — our goal finally within sight. We have worked for four long years, and we who were once a hundred and fifty-nine are now fifty-three, but we have the distinction of being one of the two largest classes which have gone out from our beloved Alma Mater. It ' s strange, but now that we have arrived, we do not feel one bit as we thought we would. There has passed away the glory wliicli surrounded it, and the halo is gone, but our Senior year is not without its triuni|)hs. Every Senior in Her Humor, which we presented Stunt Xiglit, gave us the lioiior of engraving the class numerial on the loving cup. AVc liave gone the rounds of parties and entertainments which wcie slidwcred upon us, and now as we leave our beloved Meredith we can say that here we have sighed deep, laughed free, starved, feasted, despaired — been happy; nor will our Alma Mater find more loyal daughters am vhere than among those of the class of ' 25.

' • Vlysees — Tennyson Then, the .steadfa.st goodly Odysseus, son of Laertes, and his companions were borne by a ruinous wind for many days over the teeming deep, and at last they came to an isle that lies far off in the sea. They set foot on the isle where they had been told that a band of women dwelt. So they stejtped ashore and drew water and straightway took their midday meal liy the swift .ships. Xow wlien they had tasted meat and drink, goodly Ody.- .seus wandered apart from his eompaiiions and gray-eyed Athene guided him to the palaee of the long- tressed Winnie Rickett. There Odysseus of many wiles, stood and gazed at all the splendid gifts of the gods. He passed quickly over the threshold within, where he found the captains and counselors feasting and potiring forth wine. On one side of the goodly table sat the noble captains, six in uumber — blue-eyed ( ' atherine Bobbitt, Emily Hilliard, Mary Thomas, Velma Patterson of the curly locks, Gladys Currin, and great-hearted Lucretia Dean. On the other side sat the wise couuselors, equal to the captains in number — leisure-loving Ruth Heatherly, Mary Bowers, Lillian Evans, silver-voiced Leila Owen, Sallie Wilkins, and Edith Maynard, all making merry with feasting and drinking. Now, the goodly Odysseus went through the hall and cast his hands about the knees of the long-tre.ssed Winnie and jirayed to her, saying: 1 (■(inie to tliy knees, oji ( leen, and to these guests to pray yim to speed my parting that 1 may come the more (piiekly to mine own country; for already loo long do I suffer affliction far from my friends. Therewith, Odysseus of many counsels, sat down by the hearth in the ashes, and wise Portia Alderman, excellent in speech and skilled in much wisdom, spake among them saying. ' -.VVVWVVVVAVA - vaA-V ' ' nV V ' - It is not fitting that the stranger should sit upon the ground in the ashes by the hearth. Nay, come, bid the stranger arise and set him on a chair inlaid with silver and command the henchmen to mix the wine. And let one go quickly and fetch for music-loving Annie Elkins the loud lyre which is lying somewhere in the halls. So spake wise Portia, and long-tressed Winnie commanded the henchmen to bear the hollow lyre from the palace. Then stood up nine chosen maidens in all — Roberta Crawford, Elizabeth Dan- iels, Bernice Foote, Rannie Cox, Alma Kendrick, Annie Harris, Margaret Over- ton, Virginia White, and Mary Covington. They leveled a place for the dance and made a ring fair and wide. And music-loving Annie got her into the midst and round her stood the girls skilled in the dance, and they smote the good floor with their feet. And goodly Odysseiis gazed at the twinklings of their feet and marveled in spirit. Now as the minstrel touched the lyre, dark-eyed Ruby Harville lifted up her voice in sweet song and sang of the days at Meredith College — how they were wont to stretch forth their hands to meat and drink after light-bell, and how they used to roast the flesh of swine year after year at the New Site, and how the sophomores were wont to fright the freshmen, and how with all these pleasures the lovely maidens used to take delight in the wisdom of the ancients. Then, she took up the tale and sang of the exploits of some of the fair maidens of the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-five. How Dorothy McBrayer, the wife of the mighty prince Telemachus, when he was smitten by a poisonous arrow in a grievous battle, with her ruby lips drew the deadly poison from the wound, and because of her bravery, her deed is sung by minstrels far and wide. She sang also of a land far beyond the wine-dark sea which is like unto this, for in it dwell women who call themselves the Amazons. She told how they had made a vow to scorn all men and how they made war against men and how all their captives were forced to till their fertile land. She sang of Burvelle McFarland, Raeford Hatcher, Vera Pearl Milton with tresses like unto the sun in brightness, Mary Tatum, Sallie Marshburn, and brown-eyed Beatrice Townsend, the most glorious of these women. She told how the wise lawmakers of this goodly land — Velma Poplin, Edna Earle Walton, Mary Blount Martin and Pearl Faulkner — are grieved because their queen Rachel Wilkinson, fairest of all women, has broken the vow and taken a king to help her in ruling the fertile land. vvvv vv vvv v ,vv v vv vvvv v vv vv -v . vvvvv uvvvvv Thus the ministrel sang. Then, long-tressed Winnie bade fair-eheeked Virgie Harville and short-tressed Sudie Creech dance alone, for none ever contended with them. So when they had taken in their hands the goodly ball of purple hue that cunning lona Daniels had wrought for them, the twain set to dance on the bounteous earth, tossing the ball from hand to hand, and the other maidens stood by. Then it was that wise Odysseus spake unto long-tressed Winnie saying: Fair Winnie, most noble of all queens, thou dost rightly boast thy dancers to be the best in the world. Come, I pray you, show how they maidens are skilled in boxing. Straightway, she bade sport-loving Nita Garrett and Edith Morgan to prove their skill in boxing. They betook themselves to the ring and the twain put up their hands. Edith struck at the right shoulder of Nita, but the other smote her on her neck beneath the ear. Thus they contended and the guests died outright for laughter. Then the laughter-loving Euth Shaw Britton spake unto Steadfast goodly Odys- seus, saying: Tell us I pray thee, oh wise Odysseus, didst thou see any of our godlike com- pany that finished in the class of twenty-five? Tell us, therefore, of their won- drous deeds. We will abide even till the rosyfingered dawn appears, if thou couldst endure to rehearse their glorious deeds. Even so she spake, and goodly Odysseus answered her saying: Kind friend, if thou art eager to listen, I will not for my part grudge to tell thee of the deeds of thy companions. Having left my home in Ithaca for the second time, we were borne for nine days over the teeming deep and on the tenth day, two of our curved ships were destroyed by a terrible tempest and we lost twenty of our dear companions. Thence, we sailed onward, stricken at heart, till we came to the land of the Libyans, a froward and lawless folk. These have neither gatherings for council nor oracles of law, but dwell in hollow huts. There we disembarked and set out to find what manner of folk dwelt there. Soon we came to a hut and found two maidens who told us that they were ISTaomi Hocutt and Ruby Barker, members of the class of twenty-five, and that they had come to this luckless land to do missionary work among the lawless folk. After the maid- ens had brought wheaten bread and set it by us and laid iipon the board dainties, giving freely of such things as they had by, then I asked them where their com- panions were, and the mellow-voiced Naomi answered me, saying: ?i mm n ' ■ ' ' ' ' . ' ' A.v vvv vvvvvv vv .VxV.vv . ' v- .ss v :■ - ' vw .v va vV vvv vvvvvvivv vvvvw i mm :. ' It grieves us, oh noble Odysseus, sou of Laertes, because we are not able to tell you about all our companions. We fear that some of them have met with grievous death. But we rejoice at heart to tell you that Elizabeth Higgs, lover of books, and Gladys Leonard, skilled in learning and wisdom, have erected a fam- ous school on the isle of Helios. It is a building wonderful to behold, for Monta Clark and Novella Kendriek, lovers of beauty, have wrought many paintings on the walls within, and by their skill they have turned it almost into a palace. In this glorious place, Margaret Durham writes verses fnr the swcct-tDncd lyre wliicli Isabelle deVlaming, skilled in much music, teaches to tlir yi)utlis and maidens of the fair-lying isle. ' Thus, steadfast goodly Odysseus s])ake, and his word was well pleasing to them all. Now when they had poured a libation to the immortal gods, they parted to lie down, each to his own home. And when the guests had departed, the queen bade the steadfa.st goodly Odysseus, son of Laertes, to lie down on tlie jointed bedstead, beneath the echoing gallery. fH, ' } y. VVVVVVV.

' They were too short, those days — we spent together traveling Life ' s road which runs so fast. East to West, yet great in worth, For the road we went through the morning brought awakening To the glory of old songs. Life ' s deep meaning, birth. Of friendships lasting. Lasting, yes perhaps forever. In memory these days will be, whether the new path leads One up to the great deeds we dreamed together, Or to sad shipwreck in the Singer ' s Friendless Seas. Joyously, then, days we love, we bid you farewell, Glad to have journeyed companions part of the way; We go to meet Life ' s Great Adventures, knowing well Your memory lingering will lead us up always. v wvvv- .i itnwuinnnniiiir ' i ir rm ,.:4SJ ' i « , ■■,•;«?: .

She, beeoniing disgusted with the trials of college life, resolves to run away and join the Follies. At this point, in her mind ' s eye, there appears a chorus of Follies girls with all the cheap glitter characteristic of such a chorus; but their song, though in the latest jazz tune, spoke of the attitude one had towaril life. This causes The Senior to suddenly realize such a life would not satisfy, so she dives into Dante ' s Inferno in the hope of losing her peevishness ift its terrifying mysteries. Suddenly the stage is filled with Red Devils, seemingly from the Inferno. These Imps are the hated subjects: Math, History, Harmony, Latin, Chemistry etc., wliich Tlie Senior had been poring over. They taunt and tease her both in rhyme and dunce, because of her lack of ability at mastering them. Scene II shows The Senior at commencement in cap and gown with the highly prized diploma held tightly in her hand. Lovely wiiite fairies are Hitting and dancing around her. She recognizes thmi as the subjects which had .so lately ippea d as TU ' d Devils to h: • her Good fairies, eady to help ;n,ged vgb th .she wh One Hundred Seventy-four v SSE SS SSSSSSSSKISI SSSSlSS S nsiffi ' ' Short or Long? (■(■nfrrcil :ir(iuiMl a jircseiit igfable age, namely, which On the Annual Stunt Night, November V . 1024. the Junior Class ]ircsented a musical comedy entitled Short or Longf Tlic p day problem that confronts every young man of ma will make the best wife — a hobbed-haired lassie, or one who has never shorn her locks? Bob, the bachelor, who has arrived at the age of discretion, and tliinks he will take him a wife, is confronted with this particular prcililc m and is frying to sdlve if for himself, when his bachelor friends suddenly infcrvcne wifli niixi d bits of advice which leave him in a puzzled state of mind. First, he falls for the boyish attractiveness of Nan, the bobbed-haired girl, but the instant long-haired Margaret appears, he is equally taken with her dainty charm. Rob is su))- porfed by a chorus of l.arlirb.rs. while Xan and Margaret ,.arli have a -linrns of bobbed and long-haired girls, respcrlivcly, t.dlowiiig in their waki ' . Tiie final outcome is that Bob sees the good points of each, throws up his hands in despair, and proclaims in a bewildered solo that he can ' t decide. nun Hundred Seventy-five inifim n iii inrnmr Splutterin ' Sparky Cast of Ciiakacters RunY, the Ostrich iin personating the Senior Barney Google, inipersonating the Junior Sambo, impersonating the Sophimiorc Spakk Plug, imjiersdnating tlie Freshman Chorus of Sanihos leorfjia Xcirman . . . .Mar Speor (Iriirra l!nilhall Ei-i The opening chorus explains t Rudy, who are always getting the Sparky begins to weep; Barney if the tears and an umbrella to shi( how Spark Plug fears Saniho and . At the end of the song and dance ons. Sambo procures a tub to catch Kndv from the wet. The tears are finally stoi)ped by the simple expedient of Sambo twisting Sparky ' s great protestations from Barney. At this point Sambo and Rudy sing iiig song, telling how fine they are and how Sjiarky fears them. Epis U The ]ioor hor.se develops a chill and l?arni ' y tries in vaui to warm the poor shivering creature with blank(4s, which signify his Freshman lessons — French. Latin, History, etc. Sandio and Rudy meanwhile are very sarcastically solicitous over a miniature Sparky. Finally, when Sambo sees that none of the blankets will stay on, Sjjarky having shaken them all off, he brings a green one marked Fresh and, according to Rudy ' s suggestion to put on things that fit and tlicy ' ll stay, dresses S])arky in it and the chill is finally stopped. El-ISOOE III S])arky still being sickly, Barney decides that a dose of medicine is what he requires, the medicine being a stunt. This doesn ' t exactly agree witli liini and he splutters forth the name of the stunt that ' s troubling him. With the remark, You ' re nothing but a piece of cheese, Rudy knocks off Sparky ' s hea l and a piece of cheese rolls out. In comes the Sambo chorus backward singing a song to the effect that Sparky is a piece of cheese, and bids all a respectful good-night. Curtain One Hundred Seventy-six iininiinnmunitnin A We Couldn ' t -You Can I The Freshman Stunt opened with a tirade by Miss 1924, portrayed by Evelyn White, against the existing rules and restrictions of the college, saying that she was sure her predecessors had enjoyed more liberty than she. At this juncture Miss 1899, represented by Eloise Greenwood, entered to the tune of A Bird in a Gilded Cage, and recited the grievances her class had held against the then nar- rower restrictions of Meredith. Her dress was of the period she pDrtraycd. ladcline Moore, representing Miss 1904, told her story tn the accuniiiiuiiiiicnt of . ftcr the Ball. After her exit Madelim- Kllioft came in, dressed as Miss 190.S, and repeated her lack of privileges to tlic tiim- of Red Wing. Mabel Severance as Miss 1912, dressed in the vogue of that Time, spoke to the accompaniment of Trail of the Lonesome Pine, Miss 1916, sho ™ by Mildred Allen, recalled the stirring days of the war. As she talked Over There was played. Love Xest was ig Miss 1920, told of th. ti-ikiiig of all, dressed in )anied her seemed Tieculi; flap ])layed as Mary Sue Cannon, rcnrescntin;;- Miss 1920. told of the flu Mi.ss 1924, Evelyn Wl ish creation, and the i being Sweet Little You. It is safe to say that never before in the history of the college has the freshman class acquitted itself so well on Stunt Night. They have proved their true worth and may now be considered true Meredithans. Stunt Night, a new experience for the fre.shmen, proved to be a test which they met with all the alertness of an old hand at the game. Three cheers for ' 28.

The girls quietly working in one of the aleoves caught their breath and listened eagerly, for it was a tradition in the studio that the casts sometimes discussed among themselves the would be artistes, and to overhear them was a gift of the gods themselves. And I ' ve been wondering what those round things are that Novella Kendrick has been cutting for these many weeks. Is she studying my disk? asked the Discobulus. Why no, those are pretty girls for the annual for I ' ve been peeping at them, said Donatella ' s Laughing Boy.
