Stunt Night this year conies on
Saturday night, November 7. All the
classes are now working on their
stunts. It is useless to prophesy the
diversity and originality of the stunts,
for that is understood. The question
now is:
WHICH CLASS WILL WIN THE
CUP?

Meredith next fall came and gave a
brief sketch of the wonderful progress
that is being made in each of these
phases of Baptist work.
The third scene showed Dr. Maddry
in a more hopeful state of mind, and
as he remembered the great possibili
ties for advancement of Christ’s work
in our own State, he was made happy,
and he rejoiced over the bright field
which lay before the North Carolina
Baptists of today.

around daily, some very unnecessary
article or dress so our own mama's
wouldn't know us, much less our
teachers.”
These sentences of truth were
piteously walled by a freshman, who.
having been sent to her room by a
Sophomore to get a missing article—
her freshman badge—had returned,
and in a frenzy of haste, fearing she
would be lute for her class, had dashed
headlong into a class of Senior English
instead of her class of Freshman Eng
lish, which class, by the way, was not
even supposed to meet on this pai’-
ticular day. How little the freshman
knew that her troubles wore only be-
SinninK-
Friday night, September the eigh
teenth one could hear the cry of fresh
men on all halls begging for black
ribl)on and green dresses. Several
upperclassmen were heard to ask,
"Well, why in the world are the fresh
men looking for black ribbon and
Kreoa dresses?”
11 was not until Saturday morning
thiit all was fully understood when
the sleepy-eyed freshmen filed into the
dining-room, oach wearing a green
dress. ISaoli girl also had large pieces
of black ribbon tied around her neck
and wrists, signifying that she was in
juil and handcuffed.
We have never before realized what
a large crowd of freshmen we really
do have until they all trooped in
chapel that morning at chapel hour.
Gathered in a bunch they gave a
spring time effort to the rather cool
autumn day.
On Wednesday of the following
week, the usual congestion in the din
ing room was Increased. All freah-
nion were compelled to remain stand
ing until all Seniors and Sophomores,
especially, were seated. When the
freshmen were seated, they were al
lowed to use only the edge of their
chairs during the throe meals of the
day.
On Tuesday of last week passers-by,
no doubt, wondered at the multiplicity
of odd looking little caps worn by a
large number of the girls. The caps
were made of handkerchiefs tied at
each corner. They varied greatly in
color, no hue of the rainbow being in
the least slighted. Now had these pas
sers-by inquired as to what it was all
about—which they no doubt did—a
Soph could have easily informed them
—which she also doubtless did.
The next in order was the carrying
of sofa pillows. Each freshman was
made to carry one with her, wherever
she went, throughout the day.
Last but not least the Sophs are al
ways for strengthening the mind and
bringing freshmen up in the way they
should go. To strengthen their mental
ability, each freshman was compelled
to memorize six nursery rhymes and
say them for each Senior and Soph
that might ask for them. Some- truly
showed highly developed oratorical
ability, which we trust they will not
neglect even if they should not be
asked to learn nursery rhymes. As
far as bringing them up in the right
way. we felt we had a small part at
least, so for one whole day freshmen
were forbidden the use of cosmetics.
Some laws may fail to be observed,
but this one wasn’t, impossible as it
may seem.
Freshmen are learning—after so
long a time—how to get their rooms
readjusted after a band of Sophs have
struck them. They have had frequent
lessons along that line since the be
ginning of school, and we predict that
after a year of good training, they
will be efficient housekeepers. If they
should ever happen to find any super
fluous salt in their rooms, they may
use it for their own good.
Coming to the truth of the matter
w’e hand to our freshman class, not
grudgingly, the name of “good sports.”
Keep it up girls, that will take you a
long way.

was the Hall of History, My! the
variety and abundance of extremely
interesting relics there was astound-
ng. Every one left the hall with a
Ictermination to go back again. Our
eyes were opened even more when we
ound ourselves in the Supreme Court
^oom. The exquisite beauty and lux
urious appearance of the court room
iiade it almost unnecessary for Colonel
Dids to say that It ranks with the four
^nest public buildings in the United
States, Here again ofhcers were
’lected, the judges took their seats,
nd a mock term of court proceeded,
^fter this Colonel Olds suddenly dis-
ppeared. We waited patiently for a
moment, because we knew that he
aad “something up his sleeve." And
ure enougli he did, for soon he re-
urned bringing with him our Judge
jf Supreme Court and others of the
Rtate’s first men, whom he Introduced
.0 "Miss Meredith." After a short
ime we bade them goodbye and went
,0 the next point of interest, which
was the Odd Fellows Building.
From the top of the Odd Fellows
Building we got a bird’s eye view of
Raleigh and its surrounding country.
Last visited, but not of least in-
erest, was the Hotel Sir Walter, where
we saw the room occupied by Mrs.
George Vanderbilt during her presi
dency of the State Fair.
By this time we were getting a bit
ired, and besides it was raining. But
we returned home with a head full of
knowledge, a heart full of gratitude
to Colonel Olds, and a hope that he
will take us again soon.

Two business friends who lived In

evening.
At the appointed time the guest
set forth in the direction of his
friend’s house, and as the roads in
the village were somewhat dimly
lighted he took with him his old-
fashioned stable-man’s lantern.
The dinner was good, the wine ex

The next morning, however, lie re

host of the night before:
Dear Old Man: I am sending my

you will return same per bearer.
