FACULTY PARTY THE TWIG “ALICE IN WONDERLAND” Vol. Ill Meredith College^ Raleigh, N. C.» March 14, 1924 No. 18 “ELIZA COMES TO STAY,” PLAY PRESENTED BY PHI SOCIETY ANNUAL PHI PLAY RECORDED AS ENTERTAINING ETENT OF THIS YEAR On Saturday evening March 8, the Phi Society presented to a large audi ence In the chapel one of the most at tractive plays ever given by college students, “Eliza Comes to Stay.” Everyone of the characters were well chosen and it seema now that none but these chosen few could have acted the prescribed parts. Dot McBrayer as heroine took the audience by storm. She was most ef fective both in her role as the poor little insignificant orphan girl and equally so when she had become the culturcd and refined Dorothy. Every emotion from the saddeet to the most ridiculous seemed to have been made for Dot. This play has thoroughly convinced many that Dot has talents along this line which are unusual, and she deserves and has received much praise from both students and out siders. Susie Herring, the hero or Sandy, made a moat excellent man. The ease and grace with which she played her part (which is most difficult for a girl) was astounding. Slie proved to be an ideal lover and a very clever actor. Of course the play could not have been a success without the other char acters who helped in making It such a hit. Berta Crawiord, as MouUgue Jordan, seemed to have been cut out for the part. Every action was car ried out just as naturally and as un consciously as one would have expected from a real man of that type. Berta is to be comiiiended on her part. Who could have been better for her part than Mary Alderman, as Lady Pennybrolce? Her appearance was (Continued on page h) GRADUATING RECITAL OF MISS LOIS LAWRENCE MISS LAWRENCE RENDERS LOVE LY SELECTIONS IN HER PIANO RECITAL The graduating recital of Miss Lois Lawrence on Friday afternoon.

It has been thought that the student body would endorse action along such lines. Now the dream is before the college. But dreams without realization are of little value, and effort is needed to realize dreams. There are many methods of pro cedure which might work well in the development of such a plan. First of all there must be consideration of the practice hours of those engaged In preparing plays. Look for a few moments at the handicaps under which the societies labor in getting ready for the annual plays. Dr. Horton lends his valuable time, experience, and training to the Meredith girls, and be cause of his ability and perserverance does present plays which are a credit to the college. But it is with a loss of time both for him and the girls be ing trained under him. There is little cooperation with them on the part of (Continued on page BlOtlTA CltAWFOHI) ROBERTA CRAWFORD IS ELECTED Y. W. C. A. PRESIDENT V. M’. C.

Just before the matter was taken up Pauline Patton, our present president, led us all In a short prayer, which impressed {is all with the seri ousness and importance of the office which we were about to elect. Then Pauline told us In a few words the qualifications required of the girl who Lakes this reaponalble position.

She has been a very faithful and successful worker as managing editor this year, and Indeed this year's experience will enable her to take over the ofllce with the ease that probably no one else could. It is useless to numerate the qualities necessary for one who holds this of fice which Is one most vital to Mere dith’s reputation, but surely no one will deny that Dot possesses them all. She has “sticktoltiveness,” originality, confidence, patience and all those things which go to make a college paper a success. The Twig is practically a new item at Meredith and in the course of the three years of Its exlstance It has Increased both in size and in circula tion. We congratulate our editor of this year who has been besponslble for most of this and we’re looking forward to other Improvements from the in coming editor. Here’s hoping that Dot will receive the hearty coflperatlon of the whole student body in her new responsibility. MR. HAM THE EVANGELIST CONDUCTS CHAPEL SERVICE INTERESTING PERSONAL TALK GIVEN TO MEREDITH .STUDENTS. On last Tuesday morning our chapel was made unusually Interesting and inspiring by having Mr. Ham to con duct our devotional services. He took as his passage of scripture the familiar (Oontinued on page 4) MEREDITH COMMUNITY PHOTOGRAPHED ON CAMPUS I’HE STUDENTS AND FACULTY OF MEREDITH ARE PHOTOGRAPH- ED “AS THEY ARE.” The disinterested observer would have immediately become intensely Interested had he beheld the amazing spectacle of over three hundred Mere dith girls pouring out of the entrance of Main Building last Wednesday morning during chapel hour. And yes —the faculty was with them. As a matter of fact, they must have led the rush, for when the picture was taken, they were In the front row. The secret's out! We were not foi’ming a posse, or chasing a thief. Mr. Frye, a photographer from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, had come to make a group pic ture of the college community, and each one wished a desirable place in the sun. We had no time to put on our best accoutrements, so the pic ture showed us as we really are. How ever, taking everything into considera tion, the picture was remarkably good, and a great many orders for dupli cates were given ', A ,1; r: Bituviii.r.R Mc'Fart-and UNDER-GRADUATE REP- RESENTATIVE ELECTED FOR YEAR 1924-25 BlIRVELLE McFARLAM) l.S ELECT- El) FOR IMPOR'l'AXT OFFErE FOR NEXT VEAK Tlie office which ranks os one of the highest and cprtnlnly ns one of most vital importance In the Y.

Four thermometers loomed up before one. Did they measure tem perature? Well, perhaps. Did they measure enthusiasm? Well, I guesa! Was that enthusiasm as quick as quick silver? One look at the spasmodic growth of the red line would assure one of that! And what was it all for? Everybody ready? All at once—go— NIiW MEREDITH, of coursel Yes, each member of every class had ton letters apiece to write, soliciting, with a “personal touch” the coflpera- tlon of the friends of the school. And it was done by classes. Daily—yea verily, hourly, excited groups watched "the mercury.’* For a while the Seniors seemed to be beating. Then the Juniors took a rise. On account of their large numbers, the Freshman niercui’y rose perhaps a little slowly. Then suddf-nly, “lo in a hole!’’ On night at 9:30 the tempera ture rose and kept rising around the Sophomore thermometer until with one rush it reached the 100 per cent mark. The Sophomores had won the prize of ten dollars. It isn’t the numbers they’ve got, Though, of course, it counts a lot, It’s the pep, and the rep— The way they keep step That gets it—whether or not! So here’s to the Class '26! And if you’re e’re in a “fix,” They will come on the run And think it such fun— Can they be beat? We’ll tel the world jVia:.' MISS RUTH GOLDSMITH GIVES PIANO RECITAL MISS GOLDSMITH’S RECITAL SEC OND NUMBER OF rilE FACULTY SERIES Last Wednesday evening at eight forty o’clock miss Ruth Goldsmith gave her iiiano recital in the college auditorium. This was the second of the faculty series for this year. Miss Goldsmith is a very popular member of our faculty, and her playing has boen heard before in chapel and at various other places, causing her re cital to have been long and eagerly anticipated. And the eagerness prov- ei! to be not in vain. The stage presented a beautiful pic ture with its many baskets of lovely flowers InterniinKlcd with green ferns.
