MANY ENJOY PIANO RECITAL All- who heard the piano recital given by Miss Clarisse Brooks on Thursday afternoon, April 14, will agree that she is thrice blessed. She has mentality, temperament and technical ability. All this enables Miss Brooks to carry through a varied program with distinction. In the first number, prelude and fugue C minor by Bach, was displayed especially a brilliant certainty of technique. However, the skill of this student was best shown in the Rondo Op. 2, No. 2 by Beethoven. Program Prelude and Fugue C Minor Bach Prelude Palmgren Nocturne Eslpoff Largo, Op. 10, No. 3 Beetboven Hondo, Op. 2, No. 2 Beetboven Nocturne Field Impromptu, Op. 142 Shubert Andante and Rondo Capriccioso Mendelssohn The following were ushers: Kathleen Nolan, Joyce Edwards, Annie Clifford, Gladys Beam, Hattie Sawyer, and Marie Fleming. AND STILL SHE LIVES All of the following happened to a modem young girl in a single day, according to her: “It was a perfect torture to get up this morning. ’ ’ “This room is so hot; I’m cooked alive.” “The light here is so poor, I’m fairly blind.” •i-«. ‘*'I‘'ve~gdiXe'crazy o^Vti. fitting.’’ “Speak louder; I can’t hei.- thing.” “I was petrified.” “Her impudence makes me simply wild.” ‘ ‘ Do shut that window; I'm frozen itiff. ’ ’ “I’m so tired I can’t move.” “My clothes are worn to tatters,” “I was perfectly dumb.” “You make me sick.” “I’m completely exhausted.” “It was so funny, I was just splitting.” “I’m simply stuffed.” “That Bill Watkins drove me insane.” ‘ ‘ Tennis till I had dropped. ’ ’ “I nearly had a fit.” “My dear! I’m just DEAD. "The Aqonistio.” CO-OPERATION IS BEST What makes a college? Its student body you answer. What supports a college news paper? The student body. If they fall down on the job, what then? Failure. Surely, no new enterprise starts out on its career with failure and disappointment staring it in the face. And “The Twig” has success be fore it—written in large, glowing letters, But this success depends on you. Yes, you who have paid your subscription fee—Thank you. And equally does it depend on you who haven’t co-operated and given the small sum which we need. We’ll come through all right, but we want everybody to have a part in the success of our journalistic project. Come "on, lend a ' helping. hand. We knew you would. Thank youi EMINENT MAN OF LETTERS ADDRESSES CLUB The International Relations Club on Thurs day- evening, April 21 was fortunate in hear ing Dr. Lindsey Rogers, who spoke on “Labor and International Affairs.” Dr. Rogers, a man of superior education and brilliant in tellect, now professor of government at Har vard University, was formerly connected with the University of Virginia and is rapidly gaining recognition for his authority on labor questions. In the course of his address Dr. Rogers stated that all present troubles could be traced either to labor or to international relations. These factors are the cause of our disturbed internal and foreign conditions. Burke in 1773 took up the question of international relations both with the colonies and with France. He proved to be a sincere prophet in this respect. It was his distinction to see the storms which were gathering over Eng land at that time. Naturally in the present age conditions are far more complicated and serious. Burke considers only the legal as pect. Now the economic and social are de-; manding attention. All labor unions favored international peace and yet labor as a whole played no important part in stopping the war. They did their bit at the front, in the fac tories, on the sea, while peace was made by the higher powers. Dr. Rogers goes on to say that if the na tions as a whole continue to progress, in the next war, women will be eligible for the army as well as men and will carry muskets along with their bi^ithers if muskets will not have by that time bccome a thing of the past. At the same time the spirit of Liberalism or Democ racy has’ risen and now the proletariat is coming into its own. It is the duty and privi lege of labor to come to terms with the lead ers, thus all international troubles will come to a satisfactory conclusion. Dr, Rogers is an interesting speaker, one who presents his topic clearly and with fa cility. His discussion showed deep thought and precision. Yet withal it held a touch of quiet humor which was highly satisfactory to all. ■ FRESHMEN WIN FIRST OF TENNIS MATCHES The first game of the championship series between the Juniors and Freshmen was played at 4:30 o’clock Friday afternoon, April 22d.
