Witli this issue The Tavio passes
into new hands and at this time
(it’s the only time it would he safe
to do so) the old staff wishes for
the new all the good things that
came our way anti some that didn’t
—Que-voulez-voiis plus encore?
Spring has come, and with it, the
young man’s fancy aJid the baae-
ball games. Here’s to the three of
them!
The reception given an innocent
stndeiit’s opinion, as appearing in
a recent numhev of The Twia, con
cerning the habitual Sunday after
noon behavior of some yonng men
of Ealcigh, shows that it was read
if not heeded—(We will ha 02>ti-
?nistic!)
Scope—nudeiiiahle—runs its ga
mut iu everything under the sun—
witness the Agrienltiiral Club recep
tion or the ’24-’26 party.
No startling news for The Twig
this ■week. Can the Myatt burglar
be absent-minded ns well?
To the Sonioi-g the cxilmination of
all good things pertinent to be
ing a Senior came with the Senior
table. Another incentive for fresh
men to remain exposed to education
for four years!
The most recent elassiiication on
tho campus divides the student body
info two groups—those who will re
main in Ealeigh iintil June 3, to
have their bargain picture made,
and “the suckers.”
In various expressions of progress
and initiative, our Alma Mater, ap
parently, daily becomes a more and
more ardent disciple of our friend,
Dr. Coue, the latest advancement
along this line being the organiza
tion of the Honor Society, This
marks the culmination of a long
formulated plan in the minds of
many of the more serious-minded
of the eollegc, and may prove the
means of results undreamed and un
aspired to in its abscuce. The char
ter membership of the Club is very
exelusivo, but an entry into tiie
sacrod precincts is not as difficult
as may be at first imagined, sincc
a three-year average of B ia the
principal requirement. Easily said,
but not as easily accomplished! Per
haps, but when a Freshman, or even
a Sophomore, is iu full possession
of the facts from the outset of her
college career, many apparent ob
stacles will be all the more deter
minedly overcome, with such an
honor as a goal for which to strive.
As an added incentive for member
ship, and, incidentally, scholarship,
it ia hoped that this Honor So
ciety, of such simple organization
but contrastingly groat aspirations,
will some day be remembered as but
the mother society of the Phi Beta
Kappa chapter, Meredith college.
Of course, we realize that this is
indeed a far-away look into an all
too dim future, but Wve “hitched
our wagon to a star,” we are “sit
ting still,” and we are “riding”
with as much Siiecd as possible on
our part, straight toward that goal.
That is another of our hopes and
expectations of the many feata to
be uccomplished by our much
heralded “New Meredith.” Of
course, the individual merits of such
a chapter itsclP could not attempt
to bo measured by tho results among
the students alone, great as they will
undoubtedly be, and requires but a
survey of the present chapters
among the colleges of North Caro
lina today—Trinity, Carolina, and
Davidson being the only claimants
of this honor—to realize Avhat this
would mean to the standard of the
College from an interstate or even
national viewpoint. With the con
firmed belief that tbe above is an
expression of the prevalent., opti
mism, tlie progress of the Honor So
ciety toward its expected goal shall
be eagerly ^^'atchod—Esperance!
Spring seem likely to be nbont the
business of satisfj’ing our longings.
Of coiu'se, the Seniors arc to be the
constellations toward which all eyes
will be turned hcnceforth, as Miss
Poteat’s highly clover and original
party of late occurrence proved,
though even a wider participatioti
lias accrued as a result of the re
cent reception at N. C. State, and
the Junior-Freshman party Satur
day night. As we realize this is
just the beginning of the usual
round of Spring festivities, we sigh
in anticipation, while those of us
who have not as yet reachecl the
state of Senior dignity and bliss,
remember that “every dog baa his
day,” that we are ever growing 2>nps
in the same category, and that
things are as they should be.
