4 THE TWIG The widow of a farmer was being consoled by a neighboring farmer, who happened to be a widower, “Cheer up, woman,” he said. “Ye’re young yet and good-lookin’: an’ you could soon get another husbaud.” "Oh, no, no," she rallied; “who would take me?” “Why, if I had a better pair o' boots on. I’d run away wi’ ye mysel'!" said the widower, gallantly. The widow, lifting her face and wiping her eyes, said, earnestly, “I wonder would John’s fit you?” Mr. Newlywed—Here is a bill for a dress you seem to have bought some time ago. Mrs. Newlywed—Oh yes, that is for the one you liked so well, the blue voile, don’t you remember? Why, I wore it the night you proposed. Mr. Newlywed (talking to himself afterward)—H’m that’s going some, paying for the bait and hook you got caught on. Autolst (driving on country road) — If I had run over that chicken then, we could have taken it along and had it for dinner. Friend Wife—Oh, but I shouldn’t think a chicken would be good to eat in case of a sudden death like that. OIHLS ENJOY W. F. SOCIETY DAY (.Continued frovi page one) their brothers at Wake Forest cele brate Society Day. Two private cars with similar constituents followed soon in their wake. A wreck, a ball game in which our noble hosts were decidedly the vic> tors, a sumptonis banquet, four won derful orations—a grand reception, and hosts unpurpassable—what greater excitement could one wish in the course of one all to brief afternoon and evening. In spite of the delay caused by the wreck, our friends most graciously awaited us at the church and escorted us to the football played on Gore Field between Wake Forest and High Point. Wake Forest, needless to say, remained on top. Society Day Dinner at six-tliirLy in the Williams and Robinson dining rooms was an enjoyable occasion on account of the hospitable words of welcome, the* unique toast, and the speeches, as well as ilie sumptions re past. .\Ir. B. T. Henderson gave the wui'd.s (>r welcome. Dr. Brewer re sponded I'or Meredith and Mr. Gray for Liiuisburg. The following gave toasts: .Miss Madeline Elliot from Meredith In Die Williams Dining Hall and Miss Lillian Odum in the Robinson Dining Hall, Tlieii followed four impressive ora tions in the auditorium. Assuredly, if all tlio men and women on this con tinent possessed the spiritual and moral ideals so earnestly and fervently expressed by Messrs. H. C. Hopkins, M. li. Creo, R. Paul Candill. and E. F. Parham, no foreign critic would ever again accuse America of being a coun try without a soul. The orations was followed by an ad dress on "The Unpardonable Sin in Education" by Dr. F. P. Gaines. This address wus well in keeping with the spirit and thought of the orations, The original subject, "Angles of Ap proach,” as announced on the pro gram I'resident Gaines reported that several of our hosts had misread “The Approach of the Angels.” This he flatteringly, wittingly interpreted to mean the coming of the Meredith and FltKSIISrAN CLASS ELECTS OFFICEUS (Continxied Irom page one) first six weeks tlie Freshman class lins the privilege of electing perma- ntMit ofRcei's for the year. This is the privilege which they were exer cising. There wore very few chungcs in the officers, however. The class of ’31 has shown great wisdom in the choice of Sarah Briggs us a leader for the year. During her short stay here at Mere dith, she has endeared herself to her own classmates and also to the other classes. Right at the first of the year, she showed her ability in writing by winning out in a contest held by The Twig. Since then, she has been a hard-working mem ber of The Twig Staff. She has also had several articles and bits of poetry appearing in The Acoiu the literary publication of the col lege, from time to time. Again, on November 5 at the annual “Stunt Nite” celebration she played the at tractive role of a dutch boy in the Freshman stunt. Congratulatione and best wishes, Sai-ah! TKIO OF VISITORS IJf CHAPEL SATURDAY (Continued from page one) also. The chief import of his re marks was a public expression In be half of the B. S. U’s. of the entire state, of his appreciation for the hearty way in which the Meredith student body cooperated In making the recent Student Conference a success. Mere dith girls are always ready to give the words of Wake Forest boys earnest heed, and Mr. Caudill found a very in terested and delighted audience in the person of these admirers of Wake Forest. As a final treat oji that event ful morning, Mr. Blake, a representa tive of the Theordore Presser Music Co., sang for us On the Road 1o Manddlay. and Sleepy Hollow Tunc as an encore. Mr. Blake has visited us previously and Is one of our fav orite singers. The exceedingly hearty applause which greeted his singing was good evidence of the warm wel come extended him by both faculty and students. Louisburg girls and other lady friends. We appreciate the compliment and feign would au.swer such a descrip tion. though realizing the impossibility of such an undertaking. The reception given in the gymnasi um at nine o'clock furnished a fitting climax to the “end (aside from the accident) of a perfect day.” The room was artistically decorated In the col lege and society colors. The music furnished by the Wake Forest band was wonderful. The punch and cakes were delicious. The sponsors of the two societies. Miss Angie Dancey sponsor of the Euzelian Literary Society and Miss Mildred Vogler sponsor of the Philoma- thesian Literary Society were both l)oautiftil and charming. Wake Forest brothers, we thank you for the comfortable conveyances, the thoughtful arrangements made for our comfort, convenience and the glorious good times you extended to us. May you see many more happy Society Days. To our President, deans and chaper ones we extend thanks for making our trip so delightful and splendid in every respect. TRIP TO DUKIIAM WEDNESDAY NIGHT (Continued irom page one) It remained for Madeline Elliott to give to that glorious, intent gather ing the message that will be theirs throughout the thick and thin of this great campaign. She, not only told of the Students part, but also that of our loved faculty. Beauti fully did she chose her every word. I w’ished that every Meredith girl could have heard her, but let us pledge anew our support (1) pray ing, through faith believing, (2) working, knowing that in due sea son the harvest will be ripe for reaping, (3) giving of ourselves— our substance—giving back to God that which is His. It is almost impossible for one to quote justly the talks of Dr. E. Y. Mullins and Dr.. Gaines of Wake Forest. They both spoke superbly on Christian Education and its widespread benefits. "We cannot but agree. That as the old prophet said “Education of Youth is the founda tion of the State,” so the education of Christian youth is the founda tion of both Church and State. It is our duty Meredith to give our selves unreservedly to this great for ward movement which well mean the salvation of a great majority of the youth of North Carolina—not only in this generation, but also for generations yet unborn! THANKSGIVING DAY OKSERVED AT MEREDITH (Continued from page one) wide awake and ready to jump up. 7:30—First Breakfast Bell. Most of the girls arrayed in Sxinday at tire and the grand prom to the post- ofRce begins. 7:4i')—Last Breakfast Boll. Everybody “ready and waiting.” 9 :00—Thanksgiving Service. 10:00-1:00— Mothers, Fathers, nrothers and sisters arrive; Go to Pictures; Go to ride. 1:30—A real Thanksgiving din ner which reflects credit on Miss Welclu 2:30-10:20—Go to game, out to supper and date with “best” beau wlio is down for the occasion. 10:21—Come strolling in drag ging one foot after the other, too tired to rush to the register, but still able to say “Oh, I had the (jrinulosl time ever.” As well as being Thanksgiving Day, this is our first holiday dur ing this semester and will be the only one until Christmas holidays begin. Thus we nrc wishing for everybody, facuUy, students, Mr. Grogan, the maids, dames—one and all the happiest Thanksgiving Day possible. ALDA GKAYSON UNION MINS «. Y. P. U. CUP (Continued from page two) der who will get It. Don't you hope we do?" you could almost hear some one say. At the close of the meeting, curiosity was satisfied upon the an nouncement that Alda Grayson had again won the cup. Come on, other unions, let's do better work. We viust win that cup next time! SOPH NIGHT OFF (Continued from page one) What fun it was singing all the way to the S. & W. Cafeteria, and there picking out just what one wantel to eat. There were great times and much excitement as the girls walked up and down Fayette ville street. Then the State theatre which was showing “Los Miser- ables” proved most interesting. Those who had read this thrilling novel by Victor Hugo, knew how fine it would be. Those who had not read it had heard Miss Allen or some of the girls speak of it, so no one was disappointed. But the climax for all Meredith girls, came just before tlie picture when the or* chcstra played' “Alma Mater.” After the picture, there w’as more promenading, then a drive back to Mcrclith, with a short stop to give a few yells for the State Sopho mores. Upon reaching the college, the entire class hurried for the quadrangle where more yells and songs Avere given. Then a mad run through the dormitories with a sleepy but hearty good night, and “Soph Night Off” was over. 1867 1927 GIRLS, WE WELCOME YOU BACK TO RALEIGH WE WANT YOU TO COME TO OUR STORE AND MAKE IT YOUR HEADQUARTERS WHEN DOWN-TOWN We have postage stamps for your convenience.
