'I'be last exhi bition was the enuse of o'lr looking forwarl with intc^rest to tlie next. "Wc Iiorcby udviso everyone who can carry a note, even in a suitcase, to join the Glee Club. The Mere dith Quartette, Quintet, or Sextette, as it luippons to be upon the respect ive oecasion, is about the most social organization on the campus, and Ihu.s you see to wluit heights you can aspire, once you reach even (he lowly state of eligiljility. Suc- ces.sfully .singing at various i)hices in and about Raleigh, the Quartette is one of the chief assets to tlic Col lege, and further justifies the al ready large amount of pride we have in our ilusic ]')opartnieiit. S! There seems to be more or less d‘ a misuuderstandiug among the general student body coneerniiig the publication of Tiik Tu'io. The char ter reads “a weekly newspaper, pub lished by the Student Body of ilere- dilh College,” and tliat reminder absolves the prohlem. itajuriiig in I'higlish i.sn’t a requisite, for a re- porler, as many seem to t:hiid, hut vv.Ilingn's.s almost precedt-s aldiity in tins instance. .It isn’t such an arduous task as it might .si'em—Just a matter of five note-paper pages or tio, anti you've filletl a column of your own paper, to say notliiiig of immensely relieving .some iiH'iiihcr of the stafl. \''oluntary ccjiiti-ibu- tions, signed hy tiie writer, are glad ly accepted—or, at least, we imagine they would be—but Avhen you are a.sked to cover some incident or to ex press your o[iinioii upon the things you discuss so long and loudly (in the Junior-Senior Library, for ex ample), renannber it i.s not a [ler- soual favor particularly, hut only a part of your coiipei'ation and loyalty to youi' Alina iLater, and a r(‘(piest eoncerning which there is seldoui any real I'ea.son for hesitation or refusal. « * * The ever pi-esenl. ap[iareii(ly (,'ter- nal, question of the familiar “Sun day -Vffei'noon (lieek" is again facing us, in spite of all warnings and eiili'(-a(ie.-' (o (be -(jiitfjiry.

It is just this question then—which do we waiit—the “check’' or criti cism? If you think wo can continue to have the “check” without tlie criticism, then the College Council will gladly consider your suggested remedy. MANY PLACES OF INTEREST VISITED BY MEREDITH STUDENTS I'lni* TO OLD SOI.IHJ^KS hy (mO>KL 0LI>,'5 111 rebponding lo the invitation lo visit the Old Soldiers' Home last Sun day afternoon, a luimljer of our girls were iileusaiUl.v .■iurtJrisert to tliul Colo nel Olds In the town girls' room ready to liead the lu'ocession. Before leav ing, he gave as a few 2>o5nts on the history of the Civil War, things to he rcaieaihcrod, he said; and we started out with lighl step. On tlie way, Colonel Ohiii narrated to us the history ot Raleigh, pointing oat .several features of historic inter est, among them a sacred tree trans- Dlanted in Raleigh and grown to beautiful proportions. He* also re lated a unique story about a church, the only one of its kind in the world, in which a family of people liveii all the year rouml; and he was going Li) let ii^s see inside It, but the faiuTly WHS not at home. Arriving at the Home, he greeted the veterans in true boyhood fashion, invited them into cliapel, and conducted a touching- and interesting service wbich terminated In a general inix-ap and mingling ol "the boys" and girls. We visited the lios- pital, too, sans for “the boys" in the wards, and endeavored to cheer them up as much as possible. Nor were we wholly un.succe.ssful. else we would not luive received such a warm invitation to come again. Colonel Olds was vei'y eager for \is to see the iN'ational Coinelery, so wc paid a short visit there, And it wa.s a beautiful spot, just like a cemetery oiifflit to he, as f^olonel Olds said. The great, smooth, rolling ciu'i)et of groen dotted everywhere with little white slahs, the tall gruceliil trees wiOi in terlacing liranches casting ttieir soft .shadows ovtiv Liie graves, (he lew wall lined with rich old ivy, and the calm sweet stillness of the atmosphere lent a touch of beamy am! of sacrednoss lo the place, Wiieii we had viewed and admired Ihis i»veiy spot snliiciently, our mas ter of ceremonies proposed a vTsit to the rock ciuarry. Indeed ho was so bent on showing ua this unusual fea ture of 'the town and spoke wilh such oniiinsiiism concerning Its history and beauty that though .some wore begin ning to feel the effects of the unusual walk, all of us gladly followed him Nor dl«l we regret the extra trouble. That culm limpid pool of beautiful green water inclosed by its granite wall of 'twisted and distorted strata, and enhanced In Its beauty by the marvelously clear rellectlon of its rugged Inclosure mirrored In every detail in the silent depths, was a pic ture not soon to be forgotten, It awes me to gaze long at such o, strlkif picture, and the writer experienced a alight thrill of fear on hearing the story of a diver who once dared to, sound the depths, On the way home Colonel Olds re lated some Interesting facts of town I Social Calentcr October 13, 6:45 p. m.: Announce ment to new girls of rospectivc Literary Societies; 8:30 p. ni.: Music teachers entertain entire faculty at Argo Cottage.

A perfect party of this type was the Weiner roast given by Miss Mary Lynch Jolinson's Sunday School Class on Saturday evening, October 6. The Class met at the First Baptist Church at four o’clock, where cars were waiting to give the girls a delightful spin out to Lassiter’s Mill. The party then made haste to scamper np the hill to get some snap shots before the sun could set. As the thoughts of supper and the girls’ increasing appe tites made them unusually active, the next few minutes were devoted to gathering wood, starting the lire, getting sticks for roasting weiners, and preparation in general. After Slipper, which was thoroughly i“n.loyed by everyone, they sat around the lire and listened to some interest ing experiences which Miss Johnson had in Europe. Those from Meredith at the parly were: Misses Mary Lynch Johnson, Mary Martin Johnson, Margaret Wyatt, Dorothy Yates, Lillian Ronse, Joyner neninan, Mabel West. PULLEN MEMORIAL HOSTESS TO GROUP OF MEREDITH GIKLS The Curie Chemistry Club met Octo ber 2 for the first meeting of tlie 1923 fall semester. This was an impor- lant meeting as several ofHcers were elected, the work for the year was outlined and committees were ap pointed. Bealrice Martin wa.s clected presi dent of the club in the spring. Ro berta Crawford has the oHice of vice- president, A’elnia Patterson, secretary and Alma Kendrick, treasurer. The first and third Mondays of each month were decided on as the best and most convenient time of meeting. The first meeting of the month is to be a public meeting, that is, an out- .side speaker will talk to the club on things of interest in the science world and a social feature will be an attrac tion of this meeting. 'Ilie second meet ing of each month will bo more in formal and at these meetings tnire will be discussions of the bus!nes.s ot; (Continued oti page 3) SI*i;IAi, SKJtVICK OK Y. U. C. A. IM{OVi;s IU:>FFICIAL TO ALl; (Continued from page 1) At four o’clock p. in. Monday, Ocrtoher 1, an automobile drove up in front of Main Building at Meredith College and blow the horn wilh three short blows. From Faircloth, Adams, -\lyatt and Main the girls came toward the t^ar. After crowding and packing all tin the car that cimld possitily stay on, the car drove down Hillsboro Street and stopped at Pullen Memorial Church. There wore several girls of the Pullen Church ready to make the girls welcome. The Meredith girls were ushered Into the Sunday School room where other girls mot them and showed them over the church, After getting «c- cinalnted with the building the girls returned to the Sunday School room where the social committee rendered a delightful program. After the program refreshments wero served. history, among them the story of a man who was hanged, and incidentally pointed out the place where he was hanged. We thoroughly enjoyed the outing and would like to thank Colonel Olds again for his thoughtful attention and consideration of us, old girls arrive on the scene to give them a hearty welcome. Now the over guessing Curious Onlookers won der if the Spirit can bo other than that of Democracy. In Episode V a group of factory girLs are iseen at lunch. The endless mo notony of their work leads them to long for wholesome fun. Two secre taries come in and soon plans are on foot for a lunch room and cafeteria. More puzzled than over the Curious Onlookers decide the Spirit is Fair ness. In Episode VI a group of eager, ciiiestioning immigrant girls appear to be looking for something. Soon .secretaries with various materials and implements, are showing and (each- iuK them tlie things they wish “to know. At last the true identity of the Spirit is revealed to the Curious On lookers and she is addressed as the "Spirit of Joy, and Pity too; Of highest womanhood and true De mocracy, Of Service wilh the bond of Luve tliat holds The girls of all (he worl.t do.se bound logcllier.” The cast of cliaraclcrs was‘as fol lows: I'he Spirit Mabel Oldham Two Cnri.>ns ‘'"■■'lell L Martha Livormon Myrtle Herring Country CJlrls Margaret Eagles Bernice Foote TLerisa Newton Alberta Butler Indian Girl.s J Portia Alderman Catherine Bobbit Older Girl Sadie Ilotibs A White Girl Elizabeth D.miels [Margaret Overton College Girls Mary Covington [ Helen Plybon (Ivy G.
