4 THE TWIG JCNIOB-SENIOB BANQUET A BBll- 1.IANT AFFAIR (Continued from luigc 1) fulfill your every wish in the twink ling of iin eye, or a magic ring which would grant your every whim, but then perhaps in a moment of forget fulness you would wish for something destructive and thus bring harm upon yourself. Therefore, we wish not for you an Aladdin’s lamp, but that a lit tle fairy named “Golden Opportunity,” may knock at your door each day, and find admittance, that like Cinde rella, each may find her Prince Charm ing, or if Prince Charming comes not, that you may live to a ripe old age in single blessedness: “May peace, prosperity and plenty, agree To attend always the Class of '23, And kind friends and joys galore Is the wish of the Class of ’24." The response was made by Miss Ruth Llvermon: “May this golden opportunity which you have so graciously sought for us return thrice blessed to you not only next year, but in each one of the years that follow. ■‘We wish you health, We wish you wealth. We wish you gold In store, We wish you heaven upon the earth— What could we wish thee more?” Even the Mascot was heralded by a toast. Miss Elizabeth Nash gave the following to the ferocious bulldog. To the Mascot of ’23: “Whoso courage strengthened you as Freshman, Whose ferocity made of you the Super-Soph, Whose tenacity of grip inspired you as Juniors and Seniors To cling to the seat of learning until all obstacles are overcome— You stand acknowledged victors— To you, Big Dog, We raise the glass! There was no response, only acqul- Bisence by silence. Miss Martha Powell toasted to our beloved college president, Dr. Brewei” “Health! Wealth. Happiness! The old, old toast—but no health fuller— no wealth greater — no happiness sweeter, than the Juniors’ heartfoU wish for you. Dr. Brewer!” Dr. Brewer acknoMiedged hia appre ciation of the above by a short talk. To our admired dean, Miss Alice Zabriskle, the following toast was made by Miss Mary Powell Josey: “Her presence is a brilliant star To guide our destinies afar; A beacon light to guide our ways Thro’ all our dear old Meredith days: To drink to her health, both girls and boys, That her life may be one of many joys. May good luck attend her wherever she goes— Our gracious Dean—our love over flows!” The list of Toasts would be incom plete without one to the Boys who added the indispensable spice to the occasion. Miss Frances Cherry, clev erly toasted with the following: “Tho’ you’uns and we’uns are together. Soon you’uns and Wuns must part, So we’ll drink a health to you'uns,- 'Cause you’uns has we’uns’ hearts! You'imsl” Mr. William P. L. McBride of Wake Forest responded in behalf of the Boys with the original sketch: "Each man here is tied to some young lady’s heart. And, if by chance, these hearts should part, Let us hope they will not fall, To keep these hearts tied thru the U. S. Mail.” As the culmination of tho Banquet, Miss Lillian Rouse toasted to Mere dith, after which everyone joined in singing the Alma iMater. Thus ended the Junior-Senior Banquet, the Joy ous event of 1923. To Meredith: “When we do the job, she thanks us; When we play it wild, she spanks us; When we wander off, she yanks us Back into the narrow way. But she shines in regal splendor. And may heaven’s best attend her. And we’re ready to defend her Everywhere and every day!"
