Here’s to all future Junior-Senior Ban quets ! fl.MNTV SOCIAL A real, live member of the French aristocracy as our dinner guest! But a glimpse through the glamour and romance of the thought into the realitj’’ and humaneness of the presentation in concrete form, re calls to our idealistic mind that, after all, even aristocracy’ is com posed of “just folks.” The Coun tess de Caen has our most cordial invitation to repeat her visit to Meredith College. RAH! RAII! ItAlI! Members of all classes having enough class spirit to ho oven part •claimants to such, will he found during certain hours (to be stated) this A\'cek on the basketball field and tennis courts of the College to yell for their team. Support and encouragement, especially at a crit ical time, is just what your team needs most, and if j'-ou are not pres ent during the games, we hope you were not one of the persons who criticized slackers during the war. rillVILlJGJiS Campus attention and discussion at the present time seems to be centered chiefly around the compila tion of the new Handbook for 1923- 24, and the probable outcome of its contents. All classes have their ar guments drawn up in expectant and eager array, ready to advance each, in case such necessity, or chance, perhaps, is the more suitable word, should arise. As a member of the Southern Association of Accredited Colleges, the girls, as a whole, feel that the stricter regulations, some of which were made to suit condi tions long since passed into history, should he abolished altogether, and that a firm stand should be taken for more privileges and broader ones which moi'o bofit us, as colloao women, rnfhcr than merely as school girls. An example of this last .stalr- mont maj'- be noted in the case of under classmen permission to attend ball games only on Saturdii'^ or ]\Ionday afternoons. This ro,i{ul:i- tion was made when Monday was n holiday, and, of course, Saturday .'it'inrnnon, too, was easily acces sible, but now sitice no weekly holi day exists under this rule, a girl witli a season ticket for the pollpgiate series of games is .simply “out of luck,” except upon one or two occasions—Saturdays or !Mon- days—during the entire season. Tlio abolition of such a rule is to l)c congratulated, becnusc, after all, the faculty is working ultimately toward the same goal as wc our selves are, and such a reasonable concession from them to us only serves to bring this fact into notable prominence and bind the tics bo- twoon us even more closcly. Of couvsc, evciyone is on the tip-too of ox]ioctation to learn the ultimate outcome of our petitioned hopes, but in order to save ourselves from any possible sloughs of despair into ^\’hich wo might fall, should the^’ prove uselessly requested, let us re- membpr, as one measure of consola tion, that we already have approx imately as many privileges as any Southern College of our class—that, at least, we are quite able to take advantage of each one which we have, which is far more than some of our sisters in the cause of more liberal fame can boast, and, finally, that— “After all is said and done There is really only one— Meredith, Meredith, that’s you!” ^ College Calen&av | Saturday, May 5, Sophomores enter tain Saniors.

KAi’, IS GUliST I’JMiCllHLVCJ ADIUlIiSS IN CHAl'liL Monday evening the students of Meredith college were indeed honored to liave Countess Constance Hillyer dc Caen, a charming French woman, iind her hostess Mrs. John E. Ray, as daincr guests. InunetHately following dinner, Couiitess de Caen made an informal address to llio student )>ody In chapel. Slie told something ol’ her wonderful work during the World War among the soldiers who were wounded and ill in Ihf' hospitals, which work won for her tlie hearts of thousands of our own boys wlio were “over there,” and for herself the name of “The Little -Mother”; told also of the teniler and loving cnre that is being taken of the American graves in Prance. Since the war, her work has been to make tho American cemeteries such places as the mothers of the World War dead would have them, she touched slight ly on the Ruhr situation, saying that 15'rance was Justilied in invading the Uuhr, on acount of Germany’s action in 1S70. This Is her seventh visit to America, all of them having been made at her own expense. This time, she came to pay tribute to the Gold Star Mothers of America. , si;nioi{s, huar seniors The initial appearance of the Seniors recently in their undoubt- able emblems of dignity—namely, caps and gowns—caused many new emotions to bestir themselves in our breasts. Scores of resolutions ascended to in some future time, be a member of that august procession which so seriously and slowly marched to its respective chapel position. The service was emblem atic of all the more weighty affairs of Seniority—all the responsibilty, the trust, the dignity, and the dis tinction which is characteristic, seemed to be involved, and an in tent concentration and silence over the whole room, indicated this real ization. As Commcncenient time draws nearer, it is sad to think of the partings which must come, and of the loss of our Seniors, we must, Pollyanna-like, think not of our loss as such, but rather of what excellent teachers, et cetera (with emphasis on the latter) these same girls are going to make. Meredith has great expectations for the Class of ’23. I 5UPERBA I May 7, 8, 9: r>. W, Griffith’s “ONE EXCITING KNIGHT” ?
