IVeio Staff In the last iasue of The Tavio, tie new staff read that it was to take over tlie publication “lock, stock, and taiTel,” and in the last two weekg we have foiiucl this statement to be more than true. Our respect for the old staff, already high, incrcpsccl hourly as we found out how much work goes into one issue of The Twio. We want to express our apprcciii- tiou to them for the generous help they have given us in getting out this Twig. Without their aaaistance our task would have been almost impossible. Every year, when a new staff takes over, the editor writes an editorial promising to put out a good paper. We also are going to strive to do this, and produce an interesting paper with all of the college news. How ever, we cannot do this kind of work without your co operation. We shall welcome any constructive criticism and we will try to give you the kind of paper you wajit. We promise to do our best. BospHality WeeU End Whole-souled cooperation made Hospitality Week End at Meredith a success. The large number who took part in May Day, the play, and the party all helped to make a delightful occasion. The Departments of Physical Education, Music, and Art combined their efforts in making possible a charm ing and colorful fiesta in celebration of May Day. The directors and participants all deserve ouv thanks. The Little Theater is to be congratulated on its impressive production of Our Town, given under the capable direction of Miss Frances Bailey. The play contributed gi*eatly to the enjoyment of the giiests. The viaitora mot faculty members and college offi cials, as well as maiy' of the student body at the party given by the Student Government Association in the. Hut. We hope that many of the acquaiutauees thus begun will next year ripen into friendships. Our guests made a good impression ou us and wc think they are promising college material. The con tacts with these high school seniors which were made last week end should be kept and freshened throughout the summer, so that our recent guests may look for ward with real enthusiasm to returning ne.xt full as new students. Kuppa iVu Sigma At a recent meeting, two girls were taken into tlie Kappa Nu Sigma. These girls—Annie Mary Matthews and Betty Miller—have attained this honor through hard work by which they have made a high scholastic record. This organization encourages scholarship on the campus, and for this reason every student at Mere dith should be interested in its activities. As college students, wo should be particularly glad to see schol arship emphasized. On every college campus, extra-curricular activities play an increasingly important part in the lives of the students. Xeadership and participation in outside ac tivities is and should be recognized in many ways, Important as they aro, they should not over-shadow our real purpose in coming to college—our academic work. Since Kappa JTu Sigma is the only organization ou the campus which ia based entirely on scholarship, it is import^t not only because it recognizes those who have reached high standards, but because it raises the ideals for every student. Annie Mary and Betty, as new members, have reached these standards, and they especially, as well as every member of Kappa Nu Sigma, are to be congi-atulated on their achieve ment. (paA&onaL Spring is certainly having its effect on the fancies of the young gals at Meredith. The angels here may not be using any wings, but they sho’ do get around. Easter was a big week-end. What would we have done without it? Cornell and David went to Charlotte', from all re ports Connie had a wonderful time, including gar denias. Speaking of corsages, Tink’s came here when she was home; tough luck, Tink! Betty Cuthroll had three orchids; ’tain’t fair I Etta had two, one from Raymond, one from Ruijcrt. Annie Mury had two corsages, and Ed ordered one from overseas which she will get this week-end; ho still loves you, A. M. Elsie and Mary Lib had a wonderful time at Chapel Hill, it seems. Glad that meteorology outfit wasn’t restricted to barracks i/ja/ Avcck-cnd to disap point them again. Dae Bullock and Virginia Melvin dated some super- cadets at Chapel Hill that same week-end (Easter). For really original entertainment they visited a colored carnival and rode on the hobby-horses. How about June Carter, breaking hearts and break ing dates? Harold might not like that, June! If it weren’t for Meredith gals, the telephone busi ness might be in the red. Peggy Haywood got a long distance from Clcmson not long ago. Lyt Tinglcy and Gloria Anderson keep the long-distancc lines busy; the telephone company will be begging for their men to be transferred to Raleigh. We hear from the switchboard that all three outside lines were tied up waiting for Joyce Williams the other day, and that it’s nothing \musual for that gal to be called time on three times in fifteen minutes. It pays to have a glamorous telephone voioe! Who’s the “Greek God” Hattie Ward is dating every time you turn around? Paging Appollo! Doris Hamrick must have got her lines crossed, Avith two_ men expecting her to date them the same day. Wliich one did you choose, Dot, or both ? Margaret Long doesn’t have any trouble choosing; she just dates one man dny find night. Being business manager on soldier’s night, was a profitable business for Margaret Hollis. Some people have all the luck; nobody else could get anywhere with that strict marching formation. You had a lot of good-looking ones to choose from, Margaret. Some of the Meredith gals have a pretty strong at- traction_ for men, even at long ranges. Ann Ray just had a visitor from Tc.xas, and Mary Lib Davis’s Phil came all the way from California! Nice goin’, girls. Archie is Sinking deep in love with Gi'aeie, nnd a lovely diamond on the right finger of her left hand proves it. Best wishes, Gracie. Max sent Betty Rose a honoj of a picture. Step around and see it, girls. Line forms to the right. ANTIDOTES FOR SPARE TIME (If your man is gone.) 1. Road a good book. Tiy A Suhtr&asury of AmericMi Ilimor, by the Whites. There are over 800 pages, but all are worth your perusal. 2. Get a job. Don’t mope around this summer; step out and do your bit. 3. Create something. Wherever your interest lies—in music, art, literature, etc.—try your hand at making a little of your own. i. Try some self-improvement. If fat, lose a' few pounds. Clear up your complexion. Improve your posture. Learn to apply your make-up perfectly; try new ways to do your hair. Any good.magazine has plenty of helpful hints, and there are some books in • the library to. help. Have a big surprise waiting for his returning eyes to see. 5. Master some^sport, and as a. side-line get a little sun-tan. It will boost ;^our ego, if you can learu to excel in something, be it tiddly-winks or tennis. 6. Write plenty of letters, and to other people besides Am. Don’t let your friendships wither for lack of nourishment. (Jiiriuun vy juiuauetii arya Collegiate Creams By Evelvx Ray For the remainder of this year and next year, we want to keep you posted on whafs doing, not just iit Meredith, but at some of the other colleges as well. That shall be the specific purpose of this column. At Wake Forest the question of “What will athletics be like next yeart” started a great . deal of thought along this line with the con clusion that athletics, will definitely be different next year. Most of the atliletes are enlisted in some reserve, and reserves are being called any day now, especially by July 3. This will cut deeply into the Wake Forest football line for next year, leaving only about two players. It may not bo quite as bad iis this, though, since there will bo tlie regular number of ministerial students and about six hundred j^rc-iued students. Army Finance School men will also bo eligible for football next year. With these students and soldiers playing, there seems to be no reason why Wake Forest should not have foot ball and basketball teams next year. Old Qold and Blach. For the duration of the war, Duke and Wake Forest law schools will be operated jointly beginning with the summer semester. The faculty of the two schools will be combined, and joint classes will be held in the law school building at Duke. The reasons for this action are: First, the number of law stu dents cxpected next year is too small for satisfactoiy instruction in sepa rate units; second, the faculty of the law schools has been cut by calls to govpnment service so that a combi nation will make possible a more adequate staff. More information about these plans will bo anuouneed later. Old Gold and Blach. At W.C.U.N.C. girls had the privilege of smgiilg with the Cleve land Symphony Orchestra when an unoxpectod blackout came during a performance. The orchestra swung out with “My Mama Done Told Me,” “Anchors Aweigh,” “For Mo and My Gal,” and ‘‘There Are Such Things” while the audience joined in singing. The Cardlhvian, The girls at Wake Forest have broken tradition again by election of two girls to publication ofKces. It is the first time that women have hold publications oiHces in the history of the college. Old Gold and Black. Evolution of the automobile: 1940—no running boards 1941—no gear shift. 1942—no tires 1943—no car —Exc7iange. If you’re inclined to chatter ’Bout war plans heard or read, liemember; “Three keep a secret, When two of them arc dead.” —Pointer. “What brought me here?” asked the rosebud. “The stalk,” ansivered the rose. —Exchange. The captain told the lieutenant To polish up the floor; The lieutenant told the sergeant, And gee! but lie got sore. The Sergeant told the corporal Who got mad as he could be, I’ve just talked to the corporal, So I guess it’s up to me. —Stindial. The human brain is certainly a wonderful organ. It starts function ing the minute you get up and never stops working until you get to an exam. All of which sounds sensible, seenis sensible, but in reality is darn serious. —Banter. CRA?iDDAVGHTERS BEAR CHALK TALK On April 23, the Granddaughters’ Club met in Misa Grimmer’s office. After a brief business meeting, Louise Sawyer, the president of the club, introduced Mr. Clayton Charles who gave a chalk talk. Mr. Charles gave some of the principles of draw ing and illustrated them. Popcorn Avas sciTod. ITew officers of this club ai’e as follows: Madeline Latta, president; Durema Fitzgerald, secretary; Eliza beth Sawyer, treasurer; Lovie Ruth White, publicity chairman. As yet, no vice president has been elected. Historiaii Is Speaker In chapel, on April 28, Dr. 0. 0.' Crittenden, of tlie Uorth Carolina Historical Commission, spoke on the nine world wars.
