THANKSGIVING DAY
BRINGS MANY TREATS
THANKSGIVING IHNNEII A 'I'lU-
UJini OF CULINAKY AUT
We thank Thee, 0 God
For the son of Thy Love,
For Jesus, for blessings
And joys from above.
One is always thankful, whether con
sciously or subconsciously, for life's
abundances;' however, the setting
apart of a day for a universal render
ing of thanks to God is. necessary in
this hurry-scurry life of ours that we
may be brought face to face with the
knowledge of our gratitude to the
great Giver of every good and perfect
gift.
Meredltli College does not propose
ever to bring up the rear In a forward
march; to the contrary, she marches
at the front. At 8:30, immediately
after breakfast, a Thanksgiving serv
ice was conducted in the chapel l)y Dr.
JIaddrey, the knowledge of which fact
alone is sufficient for one to know that
the service was an inspirational one.
Tho morning was consumed in va
rious pleasant ways until
•‘Rah! Rah!
Rah! Rah! Rah!” rang fifteen
rahs for "Miss Welch. Miss Welch,
Miss Welch!” Who, except her, would
have had at each of our places the
menu that we found as at 12:30 we
filed into Ihe dining hall? She gave
us cause to be thankful for our mortal
blessings. The menu runs thusly:
A Fruit Cocktail
Eve was a Pcaeli and Adam was
Pluvi crazy about her. They were a
Pvar. One Cherry Dale he took her
for a stroll in the orchard. They met
a serpent who told them, “Yes we
have no Jiaiia->iuii. but do try an Apple
from the Tree of Knowledge.” After
eating they decided to Lraf. Eve let
the lirst. Driven from the
garden of Eden she asked Adam, “Paw
Puuy, lhat snake, the big Prune, handed
us a Lemon. Now where will we
Orange to go?” The next trouble in
the Adam family was when thoir son,
Abel, lost his life in the Cane Brake.

TIIK CYNIC
When I was sweet sixteen I thought
That every man I met
Was either good or interesting.
I wish I thought so yet!
Wlien I was sweet sixteen the thrills
Chased up and down my spine
If e'er a man looked in my eyes,
Ye gods, the world was mine!
But nowadays there are no thrills;
All youthful Joys are gone,
I’ve drained life’s cup to bitter dregs.
For I am twenty-one!
Although I’m tired of love and life
And wish I'd not been kissed.
What if I’d stayed a prude till now;
Oh, what would I have missed!
DR. MADDRY SPEAKS ON
COUNTING THE COST
!)K. MA1HUIY’,S SERMON .SUNOAY
NlClir ON COUN'I'IXG COS'I' OF
FOLLOWING JESUS
Last Sunday evening. Dr. Maddry
again had charge of the Y. W. C. A.
service, and again he brought us an
other great message, that of “Counting
the Cost of Following Jesus.”
He took as his text the twenty-
eighth verse of the fourteenth chapter
of Luke's gospel, "For which of you,
intending to build a tower, sitteth not
down, first, and conntcth the cost
whether he have sufficient to finish it?”
The fact that it does cost something
to believe in Jesus Christ and to live
Cor Him was greatly emphasized but
we were asked to consider what it
would cost us not to be a Cliristian.
First, it would cost the highest joy
under heaven, that of serving Jesus.

TO KE 0I{ NO'I’ TO HE
Did you put me down as a little prude
As we stood on the porch last night?
Or did you just thinli me a little too
“good”
To think certain actions were right?
Did you think me too Puritanically
staid
For a porch without any light
And moments that seemed Providen
tially made
For an ideally blissful goodnight?
Do you think that because I refused
you that kiss
Resisted that moment's temptation
That I am forever doomed to lie “Miss”
Ah me! This demands explanation.
When a girl breaks this old fashioned
man-made rule
With a kiss for any one in the
throng
She is usually thought just a plain
little fool
Tliough some like to have her along.
It's hard to decide Just which path to
choose.
Is It best to be distantly cool—
Or cut convention's chains all loose
And find the gay road with the fool?
Yet the road of the flirt is a bright
one they say
Till the toll in the end comes due
So in my dilemma I'm asking you.
pray—
What is a poor girl going to do?

STUDENT MEMBERS AT
PULLEN ENTERTAINED
1‘ROF. AND MKS. 3rAYEI{ ENTER-
TAfN STUDENT MEJfUERS OF
PULLEN MEMORIAL
CHURCH
Saturday evening was tho occasion
of great fun for the Meredith girls and
State men who have recently moved
their membership to Pullen Memorial
Church. Professor and Mrs. Mayer,
members of Pullen Church, could not
have been beaten as host and hostess.
One reason for this is, possibly, that
their meeting, and the beginning of
their romance was at a church social,
and as Mrs. Mayer said, she never had
been able to get rid of him since.
The girls were curried into a room
to leave their wraps. After we had ail
put on our little yellow Halloween
style caps, the door was opened, and
much to our surprise, we found men
seated on the floor on the npposite
side. They looked as if they were
meant for us since they had caps of
the same style on. After the girls
went down the receiving line, we were
ordered to find our places somewhere
between two of those odd creatures.
Much timidity was shown since the
girls had to choose their partners, but
then it seems they all found one. Two
groups were formed to play games,
and one was sent Into the adjoining
room. Such games as Jacob and
Rachel. Mevlitii/ the President and
[li.i Wife, were played. We were sur
prised to find that Mrs. Coolidge is not
as pleasant as Mr, Coolidge? It seems
that very few who were present can
walk straight, though we were aston
ished to find this the situation. All
WHS tried out and only about two suc
ceeded, after carrying out the direc
tions. Peanuts were served in bags.
TURKEY DAY OCCASION
FOR MUCH MERRIMENT
MEItFOITH IIONOKI-I) IIV MANY
VISITORS AT THANKSGIVIN(J
DINNER
(Continued on Page four)
"N'ine turkeys in the coop of state.
One was murdered—then there were
eight.”
And so on till there were none and
all the weak and innocent turkeys
had become martyrs to our appetites.
But we did not worry or fear the fu
ture for we knew that we should soon
meet the martyrs again in that hall
“of endless delight.” Nor were we
disappointed, for on our lablos at the
Thanksgiving dinner reappeared in a
more appetizing and culinary form our
familiar turkeys. As one newspaper
aptly put it the turitey for one whole
day supplanted our screaming eagle.
The admirable trait of astuteness
was %videly displayed by many of the
girls at dinner, for if it is true that the
nearest way to a man’s heart is
through his stomach, many a girl coni-
pieteiy won over the man of her choice
by inviting him to dinner. There
were an unusual number of men at the
turkey feast, and- judging by the
beatidc look on their faces at the con
clusion of the fourth course and of
course due to the presence of each
particular hostess—each man was well
satisfied with the world in general and
himself in particular. Miss Welch
certainly has a satisfying way of tick
ling one’s gastronomical regions espe
cially on state occasions when she lias
a way with her that is particularly
irresistible to men.
It has even been rumored that a few
of the superlatively acute and thor
ough-going girls took their men out
to the tennis courts and there put them
through such strenuous setting-up ex
ercise—including' a few special acro
batic features—that adjournment to
Miss Welch’s far-famed hall of re
viving concoctions was necessary and
forthwith ensued. The results wero
beneficial and entirely gratifying.
One of the many things for which
we were deeply thankful was the fact
that so many girls had gone homo—so
we could have visitors to whom wo
might demonstrate and whom wo
might aid materially in our Meredith
Brand of turkey etiquette. Of course,
we had all the accessories tiiat accom
pany turkey, but they were merely on
the sideline and to them we paid only
