Service
Appealing to the innate motherhood
of every girl and effecting an Impres-
.sion through her own exenipliflcd
womanhood, Mrs, Josephus Daniels ad-
ilressed the students of Meredith Col
lege in the chapel Wednesday morning
at 9:30.
Directing living into life by the de
velopment of 'TOnuinhood is a process
involving sacrince and an attempt that
demands of the Individual an unselfish
and willing adaptation of talent, cour
tesies and tlie service of others, Mrs,
Daniels said.
The wife of tiie former Secretary of
tlie Xavy Ilhislrated forcibly the essen
tial eciuipment I'or living a life by
relation of the experiences of Roobling
and his words inspired by reviewing
the completed work of his master-lmnd,
ithe great Brooklyn Bridge: “It la
just like the plan.”
“Draw up a blue-print of your lll’e,"
an»l construct your activity accord-
lugly. expresses the thought portrayed
by Mrs, Daniels.
II is true lhat somo characteristics
are born with the Individual, Mrs,
Daniels said, hut Just as true that
somo traits of character are the prod
ucts of suggestion, somo professions
tlio answer to prayer.
There is a distinction—but who can
say what characteristics are born and
what ■Insplratfonfi suggested?
We owe much to our parents, Mrs,
Diinicl.s declared, but they, in turn,
owe so much to their children. It la
a true parent who glories in the
achievement of a child and is proud
to claim him as his own.
Frciui her personal experience, Mrs,
Daniels pictured the great ship Levia
than, helplessly endeavoring of her
own power to leave the greivt chaujiol
carrying trooiw of the American army.
Around her bow and stern little tugs,
the sinalleat boat with power aboard,
(lushing and shoving at the massive
sides of the great ship, accomplishing
by their united strength what ao great
a power had failed to effect. Just ao
In life, Mrs. Danlfels pointed out. It
takca a great deal of pushing and
shoving but follow the bhie-prlnt, de
velop your womanhood through sacri
fice and live effectively the life God
helps you plan.
By far the most exciting basket
ball game of the season was played
Saturday morning between the Sophs
and Juniors. As early as 6 o’clock,
footsteps and whispers (?) could be
heard in the hall and in the direction
oC the kitchen, where coffee was served
the players.
When the watch hands pointed to
C:30, and the whistle had blown for
the game to begin, girls were lined
on both sides of the court, and yells
and shrieks were piercing the air by
the excited onlookers,
At first, it looked as if the game
was going to the Sophs, whose reputa
tion as athletes is established, in spite
of tho Juniors' efficiency, but as the
game progressed amid enthusiastic ex
citement, the score of the Juniors
.leaped upward, higher and higher, un
til when time was called. Junior colors
were flying high, and the score was
32-22 in their favor; for the third
time the class of has their num
ber engraved upon the loving cup.
The line-up for tho Junior team was
as follows:
Center
Dot Russell
Guards
F, Cherry M, Powell
Forwards
R. Sawyer N. Benthall
The team work of the Junior team
was especially commendable. Sawyer,
who had previously established her
reputation as a "star goal-thrower,”
droi)ped the ball Into the net almost
magically, while Uenthal. the other
forward, was also at her best. Cherry
and Powell, as guards, likewise played
Iheir part with admirable skill, Rus
sell, in spite of her knocks and bruises
showed marvelous ability as center.
The playing of the Sophomore team
was also noteworthy. Much previous
training and practice was evident in
their plays. The outstanding mem
bers of the team were Garrett, who
uAlilljiluii uiLUsual skiU In lUi'uwliig
goals, and RIckett, who did splendid
center work.
The game was a rough and tumble
one. as the frequent fouls indicated,
hut as the Sophs became discouraged,
the Juniors gained points, and thus
tho result of the story.
If the Juniors win again next year,
tlio loving cup iiclonga to '24, and as
110 one doubts, as to the evident plans
of Iheir team—I-Iore's to the best man!

In response to clever invitations

Here some of the girls with the as
sistance of Mr, Grogan had prepared a
camp fire. After the crackling fire
bad died down, and only a bright bed
of coals remained, bacon was cooked
and bread was toasted for sandwiches.
Then followed the enjoyment of deli
cious club juniors, lemonade, and cook
ies. When all these had been safely
bestowed, a box of marshmallows yet
remained to be toasted.

Inn
The engagement and approaching
marriage of Miss Eva Dean, and Mr,
Kobert C. Young, both of this city, was
announced at a lovely party given last
nigljt by Miss Loulie Reynolds at the
Blue Moon,
Tho table was decorated with pink
and white flowers. A silver bowl of
mountain laurel and pink and white
roses was used as a centerpiece and
pink candles were in crystal holders.
A salad and pink and white ice
course with mints and punch were
served.
Miss Alice Stitzel of Meredith Col-
icfcw, uy n,iail Lfoltl-
sniith, snug and Miss Goldsmith gavr
several numbers. Misses Nellie Mnc
Johnston, Alice Dow’d and Mrs. T. R,
Hart poured punch.
The announcement was found In
iiunint nosegiiys which were given the
Ruests as favors. The marriage will
take place June 5th, at the First Bap-
list Clnirch.
Miiis Dean is the charming daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas G. Dean, of
Wendell, and has been making her
homo in this city with her sister. Mrs.
John Dowd, for the past few years.
She was graduated from Meredith Col
lege iind look advanced French at
Cornell University.
She is at present and has been since

department of Meredith. As a mem
ber of the Claa,s of ’20, she will be

Tino Acokx In her senior >ear.

College and Is now superintendent of
Red Oak School. Ho aorved as cap
tain in Company K, 120th Infantry

out the State.
In Our Memory Hook was the sul)-
Jcct of the nniciue and helpful pro
gramme given by the Y. W. A. on Sun
day night. May 13.
After the Scripture, Acts 2G, by
Jeanette Mace, Fay Foster explained
that at the close of the college year,
we find our memory books with the
souvenirs of happy tin.os.
On our hearts, too, at) written in
cidents and experiences of the collcge
year, while the mind Is stamped witii
indelible pictures. A l)it of attention
to the mental and spiritual photo
graphy results in making those mem
ory books of the heart and thought far
more valuable.
The Importance of the focus in the
mental picture was discussed by Kliza-
beth Knight. For the Christian there
must be only one goal of seeing, only
one objective—tUw bringing of the
world to Jesus, and with this must the
individual goal coincide In order that
the mental picture may further this
end.
The lens, which must be a vision of
Christ, of the world, of its needs,
which will not crowd out the vision of
immediate opportunities for service,
was described by Mary Wray, If the
lens be other than clear, and evenly
ground, the focus and all the care
will not produce a clear picture.
Leia Cobb, told of the relation of
the film to the finished picture. Ju?t
•aa iuls umsi ijiopuriy soiisituu i.o
rays of light, the individual nature
must be sensitive to the activities of
the denomination and to the needs
for service in the home churches.
The steps In making the print were
recounted by Daisy Holmes. Our
print, which represents our influence,
we leave wherever we go; bfcause we
are college girls, our friends who have
been denied sucli an advantage look
to us for cxiimples In conduct, lan
guage and dress.
The fixing Imtii. Monta Clark ex
plained (0 be habit. The more beau
tiful deeds we do, the more we can
cultivate into hal)its and it becomes
all the easier to live nobly.
Burvelie McFarland and Ethel Hol-
lowell gave a beautiful duet, “We Are
Building Day by Day.”
On closing, Fay Foster appropri
ately exproKRcd tlio hope that each
would return next fall with beautiful
memory books.
