THE TWIG

Slumnae
It the inmates of Dlx Hill had been
listening outside of tiie “Y” room on
tiie niglit of Septfiml)er seventeenth,
tiiey would have started at tiie sounds
which resembled their own. Tiie occa
sion of the noiso was an animal con
test engaged in by members of the
tacuit.y who were giving a party for
-Mary Lynch. She left on September
nineteciilh for Cornell University,
where she began work on her Ph.D.
Imagine another Meredith alumna at
work for a doctor’s degree! No
wonder each person present anxiously
awaited her minute when the soon-
to-be doctor would talk with her in
tlie game of progressive conversation.
We let our tongues rest long enough
to write a telegram using the letters
in Mary Lynch'a name and tlien they
fell to wagging again as the handker
chiefs which Mrs. Pussy Cat showered
on the guests of honor were passed
around. The tongues continued to
wag while an ice course was served.
The handkerchief dolls, cats, and
flowers wish for her, who was one of
the most beloved members of our
faculty, the best of luck and they have
promised to look carefully to those
dancing, sparkling. I)lack eyes.
STUDENT OPINION
Of course I don’t know, i)ecause 1
have been in college long enough to
Icnow that I can’t be sure I know
anything. But it kind of seems to
me that everybody around Meredith
is busy. There don’t seem to be much
to criticise, everybody is too busy to
have any opinions or to say them if
they have them. But it’s my opinion
that the students are right busy. If
they are not there are plenty of meet
ings for them to be at least enter
tained. And I always thought the
I'uculty were a body of leisurely folks.
Imt right recently it .seems that they
arc kept busy keeping us at work.
Anyway the faculty and students seem
to be l)usy. Meredith College has cer
tainly started and got to going at a
i)usy rate.
Our ‘'finn'n’’ fiifiniKiru
AVIiile much Is being said about the
building and furnishing of rooms in
the new IWercditb College, it seems
as if the Infirmary has been laid upon
the shelf—the topmost shelf at that!
It has been tiie constant prayer and
1'ervent desire of “Son” that, before
she died she would serve in a now, mod
ern and convenient infirmary. She has
dreamed of a separate building, far
removed from the wearisome sounds
of practice halls, and where no stairs
are required to reach it: for twcnfy-
six years has the snow-white vision of
new beds, pretty floors, large airy
windows, perfect heating and every
convenience been her Incentive,
Slie has labored hard and long, liv
ing upon unfulfllled promises. She
has exercised every care with what
few supplies she has had. She has
used the same screens, blankets and
curtains for the past fifteen or more
years. Only the girls who have been
iinder her loving care can fully appre
ciate the service she has rendered to
Meredith College.
Is it right that her dreams be shat
tered all at once? Is It fair for her
to be put off still longer? “Well, I
hope the Lord will let me live until
I do got a decent place to care for my
girls; I don’t know when It will ever
be for they have been promising me
a better place for twenty-six years but

work almost every night at 10 o'clock
and come to see me. Sometimes they
«ome up to my room and watch me
vith my exercises, and soem to enjoy
them so much. They Just lovr to see
me slide down the banisters, .1 must
do it gracefully, I am learning to stay
iiwake and study until 10 o’clock
rather than going to bed at 9, ’cause
when the Sophs come to see me (and
they do come often) I feel as If I
must be up to receive them. Often
they Just come and sing for me—sere
nading I believe they call it—and they
have the jolllest, scariest songs; all
about ’"Blood," and “ ’Neath my
window they are waiting”; and they
usually keep on waiting because I'm
too sleepy to go down and see what
they want. Why. tiieir songs nearly
thrill me to death,
T couldn't possibly slay up here
without the Sophomores. They are
certainly important people, and I’m
sure they know me, because they give
me a green silk badge with a red "F"
on it—for fun, I think, and told me
to wear it so they could be sure to
learn me.
I think “light bell" is going to ring,
which means to turn your lights off
rather than on. as you would think.
So good night. As ever,
Your obedient niece,

FUTURE FASHION NOTE
Our guess is that some scientist
might make a fortune by Inventing a
vaccination scar that would look like
a dimple.
I haven't seen it yet. When they told
me we was going to get a new college
and I was to have a building with an
Infirmary on the first floor, well Honey
I was the proudest mortal on this
earth. But when I went out there to
the barbecue and saw myself placed
way on top of the whole thing with
little skimpy windows—well sonny
boy, I could have cried my eyeballs
out."
Let us all hope and pray that soon
some one will awaken to the needs of
our college and lend a helping dollar;
and let us also stand by “Son" and
see that she gets her share.
