^ POPS AND CRACKLES ^ Mjuy Little: (readmg in Euskin) “Faith, Hope, and Charity, and the gi'eatcst of these is Charity. My goodness! I have heard that before, but I didn’t know Ruskin said it. Louise Wilson: “I believe IFSO x HCL and all those other things, are plain abbrevi ated cussing.” E. Thompson: “Isn’t that fool moon tan talizing Grace ^Jfoorc; ‘‘We can’t grow water-mel- oiis up liomo bocansc the land is so rieli and tlio vinos grow so fast that they wear the lit tle watermelons out dragging them over the ground. Jliss Johnson: “Itiss Beaman, what struck you most forcibly in Hilton’s descrip tion of Hell?” J. Beaman: “There were folks living down there.” Rachel Wilkinson: “I haven’t a cent to my name, do you rcckon I conld go to the re- ec’]>tion at Wake Forest 0. O. D. ?” C=== 'j 'J'JiG Art of Livhuj With. Others was the topic for discussion at Vesper Service on Sunday oveiiiug, and the subject was treated in a most interesting and helpful manner. Following the opening song and a prayer by J'^difli Young, Pauline Patton sang I Heard (he Voice of ■Jenm Say. Kuth Coueli tlien niiidc a few introductory remarks on the nec: cssiry for each of us to acquire the art of liv- ijig with others. After the scvi])ture reading by Bernice Hanibrick and Susie Beacii, two very inspir ing talks w(“)'e given. In the first of these •hnmifa .Vvnette told us of The Little Fo-.vc.s Which prstroij Our FrieiKhhijin. By coni- ])aring‘the life of cach of us to a garden field with tiie vines of Fricndsliip and surrounded l)v ii wall of Self-content, the sjieakers ex plained how the little foxes of Selfishness, (^uick-tcmpor, Grumbling, etc., destroy the riinfs of the vines, and told us liow the wall of sclf-cniitriil should be nnule so strong that the foxes could not get inside it. Fay Foster then spoke on Jewels in the 2f(dunrj, telling ns how the beauty of a jewel do])ends on the way it is cut and polished, and how our lives to be beautiful must be properly shaped and moulded. 1'lie last number on the program was a poem which gave Lowell’s idea of n young girl’s charaefor. This was read in a very fitting manner by irnbel Campbell. ^^^^^PINIOJN ^ Should Sophomore night be abolished? !N’o, decidedly, no. And why i Because it is a harmonious outlet for the insuppressible feel ing of the Sophomore class—feeling which without an opportunity for exercise in this way would possibly and very probably result in occasioiu\l liaxing throughout the year. Fufherniorc it is, without a doubt, a mo mentous incentive, leading to better work. It is a night in the life of a college girl to be looked forward to for almost two years, and then to be held in niemory as a imique occa sion, a privilege peculiar to tlie Sophomore class, and an experience separate and apart from ordinary events. Tho fact that every girl will work for that which will give her the privilege of making the most possible of the occasion is proved over again every yeai\ “Every lady envies us when they see us have such fun”, and every normal Freshman re solves anew, on Sophomore night, to have those privileges the following year. Then too, Sophomore night is one of tlie few traditions of iMeredith College, and since it atfords great sport, untold fun, and since, although it may send over the inexperienced nuMubers of the college a creepy, weird, iudes- cribable sensation at the time, it does no one any harm,—any permauont injury, and since it is an experience which no four-square col lege girl, Sophomore or Freshman, wants to Citss, we feel that wc cannot altord to lose it. MAKING GREAT LENSES—A NEW AMERICAN INDUSTRY Recent perfection of electrically heated furnaces has made it possible for the United States to manufacture o])ticnl glass of a qual ity equal, if not superior to, tlial which this country formerly depended upoo Germany tu su pply. Xow we look no longer to the vaunted city of .Tciia for this material. A new American industry with electricity’s aid sees to it that we don’t. Forty-inch telescopic lenses are be ing turned out by a aSTew York State lens company. Cooling the molten glass at just the i)roper rate is the scientific sccret of good optical glass manufacture. Formerly most of the glass annealing fur naces of this country were fuel fired. Then came electricity. The even lioat of the electric furnace throughout its interior due to electricity’s pe culiar quality of uniform radiation and the furnace’s perfect insulation, its exact control, and its freedom from all gases that might c^'ii- taminate the furnace charge are proving to be factors enabling America to meet Germany on an even competitive basis. jr.
