The former method of rushing new girls was weightwl down by inconsistencies and enough unfortunate details in its proce.ss, to hinder its success as a very good plan. J[ard feelings, unkind remarks, and open dislikes were tlie all too ooinmon results of sueh an arrangement, unnecessary as they were because of the .similar basic purpose uf the two societies- The |)resent [dan is eondueive to harmony and gool feeling and is, we believe, a succes.s in it.s working, 'I'ho now girl.s should :inticipale Sat urday n'ght with a good deal of intere.st and eagerness because the two program.s, while entircdy ditl'er- (^nt. are aiway.! full of fun and originality.

HONOR SOCIETY AT MEREDITH AIMS AT HIGHER IDEALS OFFICKKS FOIl 192S-24 ELECTED AXJ) l'LA>iMiNG FOU HIGIIEH SCHOIiARSHIl* A higher type of scholarahip at Mere dith is the ideal which the Kappa Na Sigma Honor Society wishes to hold uy to every girl on the campus during the coming year. The Idea of scholarship for Its own sake seems to many girls to belong to an age that has past—to an age of monks and cloisters, or to that group of students, who are des tined to enter the walls of some great university. It is the hope of the Honor Society that such increasing emphasis nmy be placed on the importance oV scholastic work, and such encourage ment offered for It. that this attitude may be changed. It is entirely reason- ablo that the work which occupies by far the greater part of students’ tlmu and attention should prove worthy of thtiir best efforts, and greatest interest llecause its chief object is the pre- nioilon of a higher standard of work, the requirements for membership, in the Kappa Nu Sigma Honor Society is an average grade of B on all work for three years. This means that mem bers are selected from those students making the Honor Rol^ each semester. S.udents are elected at the end of the Junior year, or at the end of the firsi and second semesters of the Senior year. The olllcers for 1[I23-1924 are as fol lows; Joy Ueanuin, President; Gladys Leon ard, Vice-president; Susie Herring, Sec- retary-Treasuver. The charter members of the society include five faculty meml)ors, and threo members ot the class ol '23. The facul ty Jiiembers are Misses Helen Hull Law, Catherine Allen, Mary Loomis Snilth, .Mary Lynch Johnson, and Mr. E. M. Highsmilh; students of the class of '2'.i. Uuth Lineberry, Ruth Livermon, and Alice Lowe. The Alumnae members are those graduating since 1915, who have met the requiroments for membership They are: Margaret Higgs '15, Helen Harper (.Mrs. Cleveland Thayer) '17, Blanche Tabor '17, Katherine Jessup '17, Leila Higgs (Mrs. J. D. Humber) ’17, Katherine Matthews 'IS, Ellen nrewer '18. Carmen Rogers 'IS, Mary Claire Peterson ’19, Ella Pierce ’23, Lidie Penten* '21, Mary JIartin John son ’21. The members of the class of '24 elect ed last commencement, are Joy Bea man, Susie Herring, Gladys Leonard, Martha Powell and Elizabeth Kinezey. Although the society is small and has only been organized a few month? its members are looking forward eager- ly to the time w'hen a large number of girls will belong, and Meredith will have a Phi Beta Kappa chapter. ENGLISH CLUB PLANS FOR NEW MEMBERS WAVS ^riDIHIvKS JIAV JOIX Tjii'] ( Aiu/roN i:>'rjLisii cluu The l']nglisli Clni) is perhaps the youngest chib in the collegc, and there fore its purpose is not clearly under stood, “Who can be a member?” is ol'ten asked, Tiio purpose of tho English Club, as may be guessed from its name, is to supplement the work done in the ad vanced English classes, and to broaden its members along all literary lines, Tho meetings of the club occur on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, at 5 o’clock in the parlors. foetal Calenber October 20, 7:30 p. ra.: Representa tives from the College attend a social meeting of the Pilot Mill's Sunday School. * >■ ii October 21, 6:00 p. ni.: Regular meeting of Y. \V.

WHITE’S REPRESENTA TIVE HERE TO MAKE ANNUAL PICTURES -MICJI K>'IHLS1AS3I AFLOAT AS TO -MAKING (iOOIl I’K’TUKE.S Emotions! Impulses! Reactions! St.mul.l Is there no relief from them? Can we lind no place where we may •et our fcEl.ugs remain at a comfort able level! My kingdom lor peace! But yes, we have no solution; we have no solution as yet. But, we have meet ings, and greetings and all kinds of .I'o.vjiings too. But, say we have— The camera man for oullel. Poor .nan! May he survive. Think of it. To him we lake all of our hopes, fears —and money. For we shall have pic- aires. wh.ch slatement calls to mind a rather forcible dennition of the dilTer- cnce between conceit and vanity. For A-hat does the girl ask from the pho tographer? A good likeness? Thu man has that for his request. And the girl wants a good picture. Ah mo! What a world of difference. If your Ijicliirc has not been taken as yet, fe! low student of mine, take hood. You have, indeed a pleasant time bel'oro you, but be sure to state just exactly what you desire from the indefatigable worker from White’s, “Hopes, fears," did I say? But yos. we shall soon see how clearly the camera understands each individual type of beauty. Each of us has some redeeming loveliness; is it not so? Upon that wo place our hopes. Our fears might best be let’i undefined. SufHce it to say, that it af fords one an inner sense of plea.'sure to have- hei—vanity pleaaeil. Therefore, in all seriousness, we ex tend thanks to tho studio representa- tlve for his patient shooting of oiir charms. May he enjoy it even as yon and I. The membership of the club is made up of two classes, the active and asso ciate. All students majoring in Eng lish and all students electing as much as two hours of English, are invited to become active members. The associat.%3 members are those received by vot>3 bccause they have applied for admis sion and because they have manifested interest in literary matters. If you are interested, see any charter mem ber of the club and your application will be considered. One mooting each month is given over to a lecture by an "outsider," that is to say an invited speaker, Tho other program Is given by the members thema&lves and affords practice in speaking as well as in composition. NOVEL JOY RIDE TAKEN BY SEVERAL GIRLS IIELIC OF AXClEiM’ DAYS TKOVES CIIAKIOT OF CHEAT TllANSl’Olir I have seen hacks and have been nacked. but never have I witnessed a more “hacking” experience than that of Ida Lowe, Frances Howard, Georgie Bunn, Mildred Rucker and Margaret Fleming one afternoon recently when they dodged the traffic while proudly driving a 1492 model surry down the streets of Raleigh. One would have thought that the quadruped was pull ing a house and lot from the rapidity of his speed, but nothing could discour age them or take away the joy of the r.de. The flre in their eyes and the determination on each face as they played "Go in and out the window” _nd “Hide and Seek" with the street cars, and Highway trucks respectively, would make one think that a troop of Ben “Hers” had wended their way back into our modern civilization. It is time the street cars and all other vehicles of transportation were forced to stop now and then to avoid running Into King Tut’s chariot, but the oc cupants all returned safely after hav- ng ridden about an hour, covering one mile of territory. IM) YOU KKCOGMZi; THKSF? "Well now If I do it for you I’ll have to do it for others.” "It gives me peculiar pleasure to introduce Mr. So and So." "The dog's Toe, Son.” "Pure honey, pui'e!" “To 1)0 sure.” Jot down a few notes in outline form before coming to class.” If you study two hours I guarantee you can pass my course. .MFIiFDITil (JHASSJIOPl'FH ATTK.XD.S FA('l’J>TY I'AKTY (Conti7iucd from page 1) Miss Ellen Brewer gave an "inter esting if true'’ demonstration of her new sponge cake mi.xture, "Jig Timis Sponge Cake; Add Water and Bake.” She was assisted by Miss Rhodes and they did nuinage to convince everyone that the cares of the bouse-wife are a tiling of the past. Mr. Cannady proved to be a mind reader of unusual ability, and an understudy of Duke Yellman’s, played the "Rosary,” with variations. There were so nuuiy stunts that i simply can't tell yon about all of 'em. There were foot races and guessing contests and a musiral duet by Miss Brewer and Miss White, and nuuiy ither interesting things. Well, any way. the entertaining ladies served de licious refreshments; at least, the -‘imiles of satisfaction I saw woubi make it appear that they were deli cious, I'm sure that each guest went home- with a youthful, lightliearted feeling. I intended fo write more about other nteresting things, but the Faculty par ly has taken all my time. rif write again next week it I’m noi too rushed. Being a Grass Hopper nt Meredith is very strenuous. Always love, rioirrKN,^-;, Mary Bowers, while inquiring the price of eggs in Rosenthal’s one day, was told that they were sixty centa por dozen. "But,” said the clerk, "cracked ones are thirty cents.” Mary hesitated a moment and re plied: “Well, please crack me a dozen.”
