“In spring a young man’s fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of—,”
hold it! this isn’t going to have
that trite word—not at all. His
thoughts (does he have any?)
turn to baseball, swimming, golf
and getting home for spring va

girl’s thoughts turn to. Hum—

volume of love poetry, the earli

like . . . yes, it is . . . the young
girl’s thoughts (she really has
’em, too!) are influenced by a
strange disease—spring fever.
What is this peculiar ailment?
Let’s see—have a dreamy, far
away expression; the mind is
blank (more so than usual); the
walk is slightly unsteady (she
has not been playing with Four
Roses! She likes gardenias!).
Her voice is husky and seems to
have a lilt usually noticed in the
song of a canary; her sense of
hearing is impaired too. This dis
ease has several stages. The first
usually occurs on or about
March 21 (the first day of
spring!). It usually is more no
ticeable by the experts (old
maid school-teachers!) in the or
gans—the ear and the eye. The
second stage is marked by an
unsteady walk and usually fol
lows the first symptoms within
a few days. This progresses to
the final stage which is charac
terized by heart burn, lack of
appetite, and often loss of sleep.
Just what can be done for this
dread plague? Let’s see . . . sev

youth) the remedy was sulphur

On Saturday, March 15, Mere

playday with Peace and St.
Mary’s. Meredith had two
teams: the first, composed of
Freshmen and Sophomores; the
second of Juniors and Seniors.
The visiting schools had one
teach each. Meredith won all her
games and Peace defeated St.
Mary’s. After the games were
finished, the teams had a de
lightful get-together in the Hut.

Last Monday night was held
the first of a series of classes
for members of the publications
staffs. Mrs. Margarette Smeth-
urst of the Raleigh News and

ciety editor of the News and
Observer and is well qualified to
conduct the classes. These are
held for the benefit of the new
staffs of the Twig, the Acorn,

aspects of journalism are being
presented in order that the staff
members be better prepared to
carry on their work and to pub

other classes will be held on suc
ceeding Monday evenings.

Editor’s Note:
Last week we received the
following clipping from Mr.
Claude Gaddy, Executive Sec
retary of the (Council on Chris
tian Education for the Baptist
State Convention. The article
came from a copy of the very
first issue of the Presbyterian
Christian Observer, in Febru
ary, 1827. Perhaps the Twig
readers will be interested to see
how an early school like their
own was run.
“Female School”
“The Subscriber, having re
moved to his plantation in the
country of Cumberland, about
two miles from Farmville, has
opened his School for education
of Young Ladies, in this retired
and healthy situation.
“A few Young Ladies can be
accommodated in the Subscrib
er’s family, on the following
terms: — Board, washing, fire
wood, candles, and room furni
ture, bed excepted, $100. Tui
tion $30, for the term of ten
months: Payable in advance.
“Observation and experience,
in the business of teaching have
confirmed the opinion, in which
it is believed the most judicious
parents and teachers concur,
that not more, than about six
hours a day, can be advan
tageously employed, by young
persons, in confinement, with
their Teacher; and the Subscrib
er, hereby, gives notice, that this
is the portion of time allotted to
the appropriate duties of his
School-room.
“During the time out of
School, it is required of Young
Ladies to study and prepare for
recitations and receiving in
struction in School. Those who
board with the Subscriber gen
erally have access to their teach
er, under whose superintendence
and government, (designed to
be parental,) they are, at all
times, to be considered.
“The School is furnished with
Maps and Globes.
“If desired, students will be
furnished ivith Books at the-
Richmond Prices.”
