OHAPEL TALK
Wednesday morning, October 18, at
the chapel hour the student body and
faculty were especially fortunate In
hearing Miss Louise Foreman, a rep
resentative of the Inter-board Commis
sion of the Southern Baptist Conven
tion, speak on “The Personality of
Jesus Christ.” In clear, forceful terms
the speaker drew a word portrait of
the Son of Man as he looked when
ho walked on earth. This description
left its impression of strength and
beauty on the hearts of all who heard
it. Perhaps never before had many of
these realized or pictured for them
selves the type oC man, stately, noble,
wise, powerful, yet gentle and under
standing. that Jesus would be If today
he walked among men. For the force,
strength and interest illuminated by
his love for humanity would make for
him today as it did while ho lived
on carlh the character who will live
through the ages to come.
STI NT NK.HT .NOV. .*>
The event at Meredith following
cluac iipon the Fair holiday and vying
wilh it in liokling the intoroat of the
student body is tbo annual stunt night.
On the lirst Saturday night in Novem
ber, under Ibe auspices of the Athletic
Assijclatinn, each class “pulls off an
original stiint with the time of preson-
Uition limited to lifteen minutes.
It is one of the few occasions iit i\lcrc-
dith where class spirit is in fail sway
blit at this lime every classman stick-
ctli closcr than a sister to her kind. In
the songs and yells thei’c is evidence
of Lbe Odd-Rven Class spirit but it’s
class spirit just the same.
This is a time which proves that
more than one girl can keep a secret—
and the other one doesn’t have lo bo
dead eitlier—for the entire collcge is
very much alive. Excitement begins
to run high and there is a certain
tenseness in the atmosphere the week
preceding tliat Saturday night and
lasting until the last stunt is over.
For, since the Senior stunt comes first;
Juniors next and so on down, there is
always the possibility of the Sopho
mores lindiiig out and giving the Fresh
man stunt, A condition of alTairs
which would truly prove to be an anti
climax, cither tragic or comic—de
pending on one’s point of view.
The rivalry between the classes
brings to the front the originality and
ability hidden in each as well as af
fording no end of tun. Secrecy clothes
every act important and otherwise and
every secluded spot is used as a stage
at the most unearthly hours. Truly
there is no surer sign oC the approach
of stunt night than fifteen or twenty
girls tip-toeing noisely down the hall
at risivg Veil.
IX'l'i;i{\ATM»AL KKLATIONS CLUIJ
HOLDS lUrSKNKSS ^rKHTING
The International Relations Club
licUl its regular meeting in the parlors
on Monday evening at six forty-five.
On account of the amount of business
to come before the clul), no regular
program was carried out. The question
of increasing the membership of the
clul) was discussed. Tt was finally de
cided to increase the membership if
tiie number of aiiplications warranted
such an action. Those who liad al
ready applied for meinl>arship could
not be voted upon as the president had
bnen unable to secure records from the
dean’s ofTice. A scheme of study was
planned for this year, aiming toward
gr'eater interest. A certain amount of
Lime at each meeting will bo given to
the discussion of some world problem
:md the remainder to current topics as
they appear in the daily newspapers.
In this way the niemliers of the club
will have an opportunity to keep up
wilh the study of international condi
tions and current topics of interest.
The president appointed as program
committee: Lois Kendrick, Beulah
Howland and Joselyn Cox. The un
finished business was deferred until
our next meeting on Monday evening,
October 30.
i:xniANfii:s
The exchange department lias been
neither backward nor slow this year,
for since the first few weeks of col
lcge, Tun Twi(i has been in receipt of a
number of collcge weekly newspapers.
These papers not only come from the
colleges in the State, but many of them
represent the colleges of the Southeast.
