It is to be regretted that tiicrc
was more or less misuuderstandiiig
on our i)urt coni’yrniiig tho time set
for tbo rcnoption glvoii by tho First
Haptisit CIiur(;L Saturday night.
Since the llei'edith roprcsontative on
the iSoeial Committee was quite
niuiwurc of the pUins, tho whole
afl'air wus brought to our attention
(luile unoxpoetedly by a casual chapel
aniiouncoliient only Saturday morn
ing. We want tho Church aa a
wliolc to know thaj our absence ivas
not duo to any indifforcnec or lack
of appreciation, but to the fact that
most plans for Saturday night had
already been made by tho morning
of that same day. llowcvor, we ex
press our regrets again, and assure
(ho Church f.Iiat her next hospital
ity will be welcomed with tho ehar-
uctoristic Meredith spirit and en-
liiusiasm.

The performance of the Carolina
Phiymakors in Raleigh recently has
made us realize even more acutely
that when it eoines to our dramatic
interest as a eollege, we rate about
as high as tho present value of Ger
man eurrenej’. No attempts have
Ik'cii made in ibis direction recently,
liut it not only iiehooves us to stiU't
soniefhing, hut to slai't somelhing
I'finitcly and quickly. Many girls

Tirii JIEKEPITII Sl’iniT AS SKFN
KY A I’KESHMAN
At the bCBinniiig o£ the school term
o£ lf)23-'24 when tlie niembors of tlie
Freslniian Class landed at Meredith
tho whole air seoined to be filled with
“Woleonio to Meredith.” It made our
reelings of insignificance banish when
wo rcullaed that Meredith weis glnd
to take us iu her out-strp.tched arms,
luul show that she was glad to acccpt
tlie Class of '27. This made us more
ilofermined to make onr ehisg one that
.^larwlith would always be proud to
own.
The college ofTu'ials have shown that
they were Interested in onr welfare,
lhat they were working for onr ia-
toroHt and as a result they have won
liic reapoct and highest csleeni of all
tho Jiort- girls. Nothing lielps a
.'iludont quite so much as knowing Unit
her (eaeher is Interesteil in her, la
willing to help her on to lilgher
(liings and make the burden lighter.
Wo Jiave the assurance lhat all the
leacliers of Meredith stand ready al
any time to helj) IUo,se wlio want to
IK' helped. And wllh this loeling, lhat
tho loiicherjj have n personal interest
in us anil are willing lo do their part,
(he Class of ’27 has begun woi'Ic with
anich ziist and eulhiisiasm.
In no phase of collcgc life is the
.Meredith spiril felt more Iteenly than
in the sisterly love of the stndenla.
This was Jirst noticed when we Avcre
Krceted at tho station by girls repre-
seniiny the Y, W, C. A. who assisted
as in every way possible in getting np
to the college. Anti the members of
the Jiniior Class i'rcm that lime on
have been real sisters, they helped the
.Fr(^shiuen get their work arranged.
They have given little parlies quite
■ji'teii to put the "pop” into our own
school Jlt’o, they have entertained us
highly since wo Jir.'at put cur foot ou
Meredith soil bci.nuso "what they have
is sociability." And the Idndneeses
that have been shown by the ofllcials,
teachers and stnclGnts will never bo
forKotloti Ijy the Freshman Class of
'27, If the prevailing spirit of More-
'iilh remains aa it is now, Meredith
will eoncimie to grow, win fame and
he tlassed as one of tho loading col-
IcgoH of the South, and those who go
out from Meredith will alng her
praisQs far and near.
