sions, but teaching seems to hold the pre-emi
nent place, Meredith has turned out many
a "school nvuuu." Approxinuilcly twenty*

Miss Campbell, as usual, conducted our
Priday chapel services. She coiitinued her
discussioji of the thirteenth clia]iter of Fir.st
Corinthians and added L'jisclfishness to her
list of the characterictics of Love. The pre
vious attributes which Miss Campbell had
pointed out to us arc Patience, Humility,
•'nd Courtesy. Unselfishness, says Miss
Campbell, is that which help us to get along
with our room-mates wlio are not altogether
congenial. And it is Unsclfislniess, more
than any other characteristic, that will helj:
us to make friends and to keep them.
After the religious e.\ercises, Kathei’iii'’
Brown put beliorc tlie student body the sug
gestion that The Twig be put hi the budgot.
After some discussion this suggestion wa-;
voted on and carried almost unanimously.
]5eth Carroll explained to ns about the
I'^air liolidays. It has been proposed thal
Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday
1:.' ;{• 'I:"' ’v
llie Christnuis holidays. Tiie aiiplausc.
when this ])lan was told, was sucli that m
t'oi-nuil vote was not even takeii.
Some mention was nuide of our ideals of
luH-oming "fo\ir sf|uare" girts but the ring
ing of the class bell cut slnirt this discussion.
Further ex|>hina(ioii was ]ios1poned nn1i!
later.

That lived u]> in a tree;
She was a 3-toed tree toad
But a 2-toed toad was he.
The 2-toed tree toad tried to win
The she toad’s friendly Jiod;
For the 2-toed tree toati loved tlie ground
'i’hat the :J-toed Iree load trod.
I^nt vainly the 2-toed tree toad tried,
He couldn’t please her wliim;
Tn her tree toad bower,
With her V-toed power.
The .she toad V-toed him.
