Why do peoiiL insist on class histories being written anyway? Every- body always says the same old things. Pat Abernethy was freshman class presi- dent, Margaret Briggs sophomore class president, Rachel Biggs junior class presi- dent, and Annette Donavant senior class president. We sang the traditional Odd Spirit songs, yelled the Odd Spirit yells, gave and attended the required number of parties, were welcomed by our big sisters, and welcomed our little sisters in turn. Who is in- terested in hearing things like that? I ' d like to tell people a few things they don ' t usually hear about classes, about our class in particular. For instance, most people know that our mascot is the rooster, but how many know hy? Chaucer ' s Chauntecleer is a good old bird, but we chose our mascot before we had made th? acquaintance of that resplendent gentleman. It was like this. One night our freshman year the quiet which is always supposed to exist after light-bell was shattered b. ' queer calls, which sounded like the crowings of roosters. The dis- turbance came chieHy from that always silent freshman hall. For some obscure reason the nightly crowing incurred a great deal of displeasure. And so it was that we chose the rooster for our mascot. And I wonder how many students know what our campus is really like. No one appreciates its beauties until she crawls around under classroom buildings knocking her head against rafters and brushing cobwebs out of her eyes and mouth while searching for the crook, as we did when we were jolly juniors. More than anything else the Junior-Senior Banquet is usually associated with the junior year. Incidentally, we associate it with that year too. We couldn ' t forget that struggle over finances, those days of making menus and place-cards, those hours of draping vines over rafters and of propping up wobbly pines in the dining room if we tried a million years. And while I ' m speaking of preparations, I wonder how many people who see the sophomores carrying the daisy chain down into the grove ever think about the prac- ticing which goes on for weeks before that day. I ' ll never forget those cold spring mornings when we got up early and went marching around the buildings carrying ropes on our shoulders. I can hear the comments made by people in the dormitories and windows H)ing down as faculty and students were awakened by our melodious voices. And when we made the daisy chain itself! I have visions of girls and girls and girls picking daisies and daisies and more daisies in a meadow at sunrise. I also remember stained hands, black finger nails, and aching backs — mostly backs. Vhat price daisy chains ! And now that we ' re seniors. Sh — Ciently draw the curtain on our pri ate life as we want to keep the respect of the courteous door-holders, if possible. But to return to what I said before, why write histories of any kind? Isn ' t it the height of futility to write the history of a class which is just approaching commejice- ment ? Oak Leaves PAGE 62 HiB ¥HE JUllOR§ • Heredith College • Little Sisters For the new student the first days of college are full of the tumult of life readjust- ing itself. There are books to be obtained, schedules to be straightened out, parties to be attended. The freshman is caught in the whirl of new activities. Those first days scarcely leave one time to think, so full are they of new friends and new occupations. Yet, in all this confusion and bustle the new student becomes aware of an unseen spirit that is quietly but insistently revealing itself; gradually she comes to realize that there is something about the College that can not be interpreted as a mere obtaining of books and the attending of classes and parties. As Newman says, there is an intangible something that broods over every college and gives it its own life and atmosphere — something that is a product of all the generations of students who have been there. Here at Meredith there is a spirit which is such a part of our lives. And there are traditions here which are a part of this moving spirit, customs, which are more tangible and concrete than the spirit itself. Among these are traditions peculiar to the Junior Class alone. The hunt for the crook, the wearing of the junior coat, the Junior-Senior Banquet, the big sister custom — these are all traditions which are associated especially with the Junior Class. The most important of these is the big sister tradition. This, it seems, developed gradually and naturally along with the College itself. In the very earliest days the juniors adopted the freshmen, protecting them especially from the attacks of the much-feared .sophomores. Under the guardianship of. the juniors the freshmen organized and elected their officers. This relationship existed, at first, between the two classes, not between in- dividuals, but even then there was a strong feeling between the two classes. We find accounts of the big sisters helping their little sisters to organize, of the little sisters entertaining their big sisters, of the little sisters carrying a daisy chain when their big sisters graduated. After a while the members of the Junior Class adopted individual little sisters, thus creating a more personal band between the two classes. In this way the tradition has come to us today. The traditions of our College are very dear to us. They have come to us from the first Meredith girls and have been cherished by all those who followed them. We want to see them perpetuated. As big sisters we feel that it is especially our privilege to pre- serve them. We want to help our little sisters learn these traditions and the spirit back of them. This is the duty of big sisters — to transmit to the new classes all the old customs which have grown up in the life of Meredith girls, to teach them to love and cherish them. As they come to know and love the spirit of Meredith, they will cherish it even as we do, and in their turn hand it down to the little sisters of the future.

I was bitterly chagrined to discover that it was formed from the Greek words sophos. meaning wise, and moros, meaning foolish. According to the opinion of several of my learned associates the meaning derived from these sources is only partially correct, the latter part being untrue as well as inappropriate. In our youth we were foolish perhaps, if a free, impetuous abandon which we have been told was quite charming, may be termed foolish; but from these, our embryo selves have emerged calm, efficient women. As we look back upon the naive, unawakened children who were enrolled here over a year ago, the realization of our great progress and advancement is brought home to us with a clear force. Perhaps the term could have applied to us then with all accuracy, but in our present state of enlightenment it is inappropriate, irrelevant. By our patient industry and deep penetration we have reiched the state of profound erudition to which we aspired long ago. It is from this standpoint we resent the untrue title foolish, and we say this with the utmost modesty and humility. Our wisdom is proverbial. No one denies that our mental faculties have been highly developed, and we could say quite truthfully that our present state is more nearly ideal than that of any other group upon the campus. This is not a bombastic statement uttered with an assumed magisterial air of a pompous opinionated individual, but is the opinion of scholars. The younger groups are aspiring to reach our state; the older have passed on and are Ipoking back. Theirs is the deplorable realization that the ideal mental and physical state is past, and in their endeavor to recapture the transitory existence which they have left behind, they become foolish. Their actions are by turns puerile and sophisticated. We feel no animosity towards them. We can witness their agony with lament, but have no means of affording consolation to the sufferers. They have met Fate, the inexorable and implacable, and the consequent alterations are unavoidable for them. The prolific soil of our minds was sowed and our poise and polished ease are but the issuing harvest. The germ of perfection which, according to Shelley, is in everyone ' s heart, has blossomed forth in beauteous flowers. We will not deny that this harvest has been unusually copious, for false modesty is a quality we have no pretentions of claim- ing, and it would be a mere dissipation of time to exert ourselves further in rehearsing to you the numerous points in which we differ from others. By the acclamations expressed by you, the public, I know that you are aware of them already. This gratuitous testi- mony of approbation and countenance, indicating the love and respect which is our reward for meritorious conduct is met with gracious acknowledgment of the same.

Pardon us if we seem to defy the long- established tradition of the College that a freshman ' s life is an unhappy one. The idea may seem revolutionary, but we mean what we say. We are not just being cheerful martyrs or anything of the sort, either. Last year in high school we had to be dignified; now we can relax, be ourselves and let other people uphold the reverend tradition, and do we like it? Well, I think so; what do you think? Let seniors be blase, juniors superior, and sophomores wise, to their hearts ' content. We are satisfied to be those little rays of sunshine commonly called freshmen. Who wants to be dignified, anyway? Why should you like people to think you know every- thing? They are bound to find out the truth some day, and then what does it profit you? We have no reputation to carry on, and we don ' t care a birdseed about being looked up to. As a freshman said the other day, People expect us to be dumb. Why disappoint them? We haven ' t learned I ' art de bien dire: we have no savoir faire: but we know plenty and the half about joie de vine. Believe you us. Of course, there are certain things that the upper classmen do expect us to do, such as to be polite and humble when they are around. But that doesn ' t bother us. As a matter of fact, we like to open doors and hold them open; it is such a pleasant feeling to have somebody grateful to us for once. On the other hand, just think of everything the upper classmen do for us; such, for instance, as giving us parties, teas, and picnics. What could be more fun than being rushed by a club or society. This joining a club is no bed of roses, though, as we jolly well found out. Those wily initiators annoyed us somewhat, but what is a little grease, hot water, dirt, and suffering among friends? It amounts to nothing at all, my dear, just nothing at all. (You ' d better take that last statement with a grain of salt, not at its face value.) Some cynical person has said that college is the place where you have to go to find out there is nothing in it. My dear sir, we beg to contradict. We had dreamed of coming to college for many years, and at last our dreams are being realized — we ' re here! It ' s even better than we thought, and there ' s a very good reason. We, as freshmen, have almost all the pleasure but very few of the responsibilities of college students. The fate of the world doesn ' t rest on our shoulders as yet. We have an excuse for being carefree and lazy. We ' re freshmen, and we know when we are well off. However, according to Elbert Hubbard, we are not so dumb, after all, for an ignoramus is one who flatters himself that he is educated. We know we are not educated, therefore we are not ignoramuses. P.S. If we didn ' t like being freshmen, we wouldn ' t tell anybody. Oak Leaves • ' ' 82 • Meredith College Annie Mae Tavior fRESHM lW Ci 1$$ OFFICERS Annie Mae Taylor President Susan E.

A., for the pnst ear, not only to foster a greater and more vigorous interest in athletics for the sake of class honor, but also to build up a more militant spiri ' t of sportsmanship and love of sport for sports ' sake. It has also been our aim to include more and more of the members of the student body in the activities of the association. In these purposes, we believe we have had some degree of success. There were over a hundred girls — one- third of the resident students — out for hockey and basketball, and an even greater number took part in tennis tournaments. A smaller but representative group engaged in the other sports. In the fight for the possession of the hockey and basketball cups, a splendid spirit has been displayed, and competition has been strong from start to finish. The winners of the other tournaments have been equally hard pressed. A great deal of athletic prowess has been displayed — from that of little Mildred Eaton, who won the stick presented to the best freshman hockey player, to that of the habitual winners of varsity positions. It is with great interest that we look forward to commencement and the announcement of the awarding of the Victory Trophy to Meredith ' s Rest All-Round Sport.

Thou hast come through tribulation, and thy robe is clean and white! Thou art fairer than the summer in its bloom. Thou art born unto a kingdom, and thy crown is all of light; Thou shalt smile away the shadow and the gloom. In thy paths the fields shall blossom, and the desert shall re- joice. In the wilderness a living fountain spring; For the blind shall see thy beauty, and the deaf shall hear thy voice, And the silent tongues their high hosannas sing.
