If the rain continues someone can make a fortune renting row boats on Wednesday afternoons. At it again—but with bright pros pects for a successful year for every body—it’s just what you make it, you know. I£ first impressions are lasting ones— remember, a smlie will go a long, long way. The foot-ball games of the past week implicated the heart throbs of many of tile fair sex hereabout. Remember there’s two sides to every question and the season has only begun. Cheer up, both sad and gay! The presence of some of the Mere- (iitli alumnae last week may have served as an inspiration. Onward to graduation day, and then . Many students will be disappointed when the supply of preachers in Ral eigh runs out. Chapol has been made very interesting by the helpful talks recently. If every Saturday night was like the last one—MorediHi College parlors will have to be enlarged iit once. Where the She is there must the He be also—and especially following games involving all the collcgcH dear to the hearts of the maidens. A KreHlnniiii has a.skc-d. "How often do the c.hurchos give receptions?” That is just one of the niceties of the year’s beglnniuK—but don't be downcast— thero's guoil to come to all who wait— oven a Freshman. The large number of now faces seen around the campus is a source of great joy to the T\vi;, With such excellent now material lo solcct from, and such willing workers—Look out, Now York Times! A passerliy at Meredith, on a day not long passoil, would have declared it to bo II home for young babies by the numerous Freshie Jrs. on the halls. A veritable orphanage, and each in fant with a nurse. One hundred and thirty-five now girls. The serenade so pleasingly delivered by State College following tho foot ball victory was a delight to all—to Freshmen a new sensation, and to old girls an event once known always eagerly anticipated. The Campus has been adorned all the week with contractors awaiting the decision as to the acceptance of bids for New Meredith. Our dreams are hegUining to materialize. Now If the fairy god-mother will just drop by with a million dollars. Someone has said that the whole philosophy of failure may be contained In three words: “What’s the use?" These words do not belong among Meredith students. There is a use even though the world outside is wet and dreary each one should begin by mak ing use of every single minute and making every class count. It Is so easy to say “III begin work to-morrow, but what’s the use? My work is too hard I can’t do it. What's the use to try?” Wlien In despair remember It’s only about two months and a half ’till Christmas then—the slogan is ”No failures in 1D24-25.” ConrtCHi/ should be adopted as the keyword of students everywhere. It Is awfully easy to forget, but if you take a second oil now and then and do the courteous thing life will be more of happiness and less of despair. In the luirry-scurry of dally college life one is prone to become a bit selfish and to neglect the little courteous acts which count so much in the ihoukllng of character and in the creating of friendships. Let the keyword, then, be Courtesy always. The ingenuity of Miss Welch has helped to ligure out the real reason for the invention of ciothcs-pins and birthdays. The college year 1924-25 is just be ginning and in the beginning largely hangs the success at the end. The year Is brimming full of golden opportuni ties, but opportunities as rosebuds must bo plucked. Wliat each student is going to do during the year will depend to a great extent on the zeal expended in the beginning. Now is tho appointed Jme—not yesterday, not to-morrow, but to-day. Come, let us be up and doing and make the year 1924-25 a bright jewel in the crown of success. Monday afternoons are beginning to have a new signiflcance as well as the .Funlor-Senior library which has been transformed into a veritable story-book- land from the hours of five to six on Mondays, when various members of the ICngllsh faculty are endeavoring to croate a habit of reading for recrea tion. An hour thus spent is instructive iis well as entertaining, If the read ing list prepared by tho English de partment is well secured students may llud a world of entertaining opportu nities hidden away on the library shelves about which they have never known. Develop the reading habit and stimulate your mind daily with a bit of good reading. A prolltabie years work will be one spent in reading good biioks. Got interested and get tho luxbit. This is tiie initial issue of the Twji for the year 1924-25 under the manage ment ot: tho new staff. It is with high hopes and great ambitions that the new staff undertakes the work for this year but of course, the staff has certain imitations and certain Impossible tasks without the cooperation of the entire student body. The Twui is the oillcial organ of the student body and is not the single effort of the staff, therefore every student is urged to take a per sonal Interest in the paper and to con- rrihutc freely with material to be pub lished. The purpose of the staff is to put into printed matter material of interest to students, faculty and alum nae. The ambition of the staff for this year Is to hold the Twio up to the standard so well established by the preceding staffs and to press onward towards greater things for the college paper. The Twm staff hereby appeals to tile students for enthusiastic cooper ation, and promises the best elforts of every member of the staff for a more lively and interesting Twio.

LIVmGSTON JOHNSON CONDUCTS CHAPEL IM’EKKSTlJfG CIIAl'EL SKRVICE IlY J:iUTOIt OF BIBLICAL JlECOJJDEIl Dr, Johnson read from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6:25-34. In his preliminaries, he related an instance which occurred during his trip to Europe last summer. He, with others, was on a Scotch vessel where there were several hundred young Scotchmen coming ove rto this country. The devotional exercise one morning was conducted by an old Presbyterian minister who took his text from Obadiah, verse seventeen: “But upon Mount Zion shall be deliver ance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions," The old minister’s mes sage to the young men was, “if you possess anything in the new country, it depends upon your attitude.” Dr. Johnson's point was that we might possess a thing legally and yet not possess It. He went on to aay that we might possess opportunities, and yet in a real sense not possess them simply because we fail lo use them. We do not get the real benefit from our possession unless we use it, "Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?’' If we belong to Christ, all Christ has belongs to us. 1 Cor, 3:22, “Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all are yours;” the things that the world counts unfortunate, may be for our highest good. We can’t always see it, but sorrow, afflictions, and disap pointments always work out for our good. “All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his pur pose,” Rom, 8:25, Let UB all, whatever may be our con dition In life, use our posessions for Him the giver of all good and perfect things for godliness and contentment are great gain. INTEKE.STIiVO SKKVICI': IN CIIAl*EL WEDNESDAY {Continued from page one) at commencement next spring, Tho it is not compulsory, yet. it is done to encourage the students to do more read ing, and to become better acquainted with the library at Meredith. Besides the library here at the college, the students may use the books from the two public libraries in the city. The number of books required for gaining Freshmen honors are ten; for Sopho more twelve; for Juniors, fourteen; and for Seniors, eighteen. Besides making the list of books out .for the students, one member of the English faculty will read some selection each Monday from five to six, In the Junior- Sonior library, to those who wish to come. Any member of this department will be glad to give further information to Jiose who are Interested. Social Caleniiar | October 4. 6:45—Societies choose members from new girls.

JOINT rUOOUAJf OF SOCIETIES MUCH Ei\.TOYED «Y STUDENTS (Continued from page one) Soon all thoughts of ancient Rome were vanished and no longer was there a sigh for the bloody fields of Phillipi. All had gone—for the Philoretian So ciety had begun their Veith's Kaude- vllle,” The animated voices from the chorus had recalled every one to the lively amosphere of our modern times. After the song, “You Take Me Away from Dixie,” a comical reading, “A Few Minutes with Willie Green” was given. Hardly had the laughter died down after this before a "Special Interpretative Dance” had commenced, the two girls taking part being dressed in ridiculous costume. Then followed a recitation, “Almost Beyond Endur ance,” which was delivered by Win nie Ricket; after which the chorus again favored us with a selection from motlern classics, “On the River Nile," Just here, in order to give the appro priate calling and a fitting dinner, a little Afrieana was bought upon the stage. VIETIIS KAUDIVILLE PROGRAM Chorus—“You Can Take Me Away From Dixie." “A Pew Minutes With Willie Green” —Morothy DcBrayer. Fscudo-Pantomlne—“Captain Ullins Daughter.” A Special Interpretative Dance, Drys- tal Cavis and Murvelle Back Farland. “Almost Beyond Endurance,” Rinnle Wickett. Chorus—“On the River Nils.” Now the opinion of the new girls Is divided as to which Society they would wish to join; for both groups had re vealed Interesting talent and original ity. But the question is still waiting, and it is to be hoped that the new mem bers will maintain this enthusiasm throughout the year Inspiring others and in return receiving much to ben- ellt themselves. 1 DON’T FORGET! i : TIME : : : PLACE LEVY’S BOOTERY Specializing in French Footwear CALIFORNIA FRUIT STORE OUR SODA FOUNTAIN HAS BEEN POPULAR SINCE 1900 High Grade Candies Fancy Selected Fruits Piire Ice Cream VISIT OUR ICE CREAM PARLOR PROMPT.
