THE TWIG Alumnae MISS HIGGS IS BRIDE OF WILLIAM EVERETT Greenville, April 6.—A wedding characterized by simple dignity and unusual beauty occurred at the Em manuel Baptist church on Wednes day morning at 11 o'clock, when Miss Marguerite Annie Higgs and William Robert Everett, of Scotland Neck, were married. The church was elaborately and effectively decorated and was aglow with the cheerful yel low and white of early spring flowers. The whole pulpit and choir loft were covered with white and were banked with palms, ferns and smilax, and against this lovely background myriads of Jonquils, daisies and lillles were arranged. In the center of the pulpit were three tall white wicker floor vases lllled with calla lillles and the pews reserved for the relatives and closest friends of the bride and bridegroom were also marked with floor vases filled with calla lillles and smilax and tied with yellow tulle. The whole made a most effective setting for the costumes of the bridal party which shaded from Chinese yellow to the rich golden brown of the bride's gown. Miss Bertolett, of the Greenville Teachers’ college, played the wedding music, and Miss Helen Higgs, who wore a frock of peach crepe, sang the ever-loved Schuberts “Serenade. Dr. R. T. Vann of Raleigh, who officiated at the wedding of the bride's parents and also at that of her sister, performed the ceremony assisted by Dr. T. H. Plemmons, the bride’s pastor. Mendelssoiin’s wedding march was used as a processional, and at its ■ first notes the ministers took tlieir places. They were followed by the ushers who entered by the three aisles at the same time. They were S. J. Everett of Greenville, and B. B Everett of Palmyra, brothers of the bridegroom and Shields Alexander of Scotland Neck. The bride’s at tendants were her threa sisters Misses Madeline and Elizabeth Higgs entered by opposite aisles. Both wore charming morning frocks, one of sun set silk crepe and the other of Chin ese yellow. They wore hats of sunset taffeta trimmed with flowers and brown velvet ribbon and their slip pers were bronze. They carried beautiful arm bouquets of yellow dal sies and sunset snap-dragon. The brkle walked with her sister and dame of honor, Mrs. John Humber, of San Francisco, and they were preceded by the little ring bearer. Jack Lynch, of Duke, who carried the ring in a calla lily. The bridegroom, accompanied by his best man, R. D. Everett, of IDurham, met his bride at the altar. The dame of honor wore a satin cre|)e gown antique gold and a hat like those of her sisters. She carried snapdrag ons and daisies. The bride’s gow was a lovely one of porfecto brow crepe roma trimmed with bronze beads. She wore bronze slippers and brown hat and gloves. Her bouquet was of Bride roses, showered with lillles of the valley. An Interesting feature of the cere mony was the use of the wedding ring of Miss Higgs’ grandmother, the late Mrs. Margaret Shields, of Scot land Neck. The bride Is the oldest granddaughter and was always favorite of Mrs. Shields, and It was beautifully appropriate that she should use her grandmother’s wed ding ring. The grand march from Tanhauser was used as a recessional. Mrs. Everett is the oldest daugh ter of Mr, and Mrs. E. B. Higgs. She is a graduate of Meredith College and of Simmons College in Boston. She has traveled extensively and by her charm and culture and genuine strength ofi character has won for herself the love and admiration of a host of friends wherever she has gone. She has been very active In the church and club life of her town and will be greatly missed. Mr. Everett was educated at the University of North Carolina and the North Carolina State College. He is prominent young planter of Martin County and his popularity and that of his bridge was proved by the num erous and handsome gifts which they received. At noon Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Higgs and Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Everett enter tained the wedding party and a num ber of guests at a breakfast at the country club, after which the bride and bridegroom motored to Rocky Mount, where they took the train for a trip to St. Augustine and St. Peters burg. Among the out-of-town guests here for the wedding were the following: Miss Mae Grimmer, Cape diaries Va.; Miss Mabel Bost, Kinston; Mr and Mrs. W. A. Moore, Kinston; Dr and Mrs. A. C.

Meredith has been criti cised and praised times without num ber, and what does It all amount to? The sum total amounts to this; Our school is narrow and limited in its equipment, sometimes the girls get careless and infringe upon their neighbor’s rights; and yet we love every inch of our dear old school, and, in spite of our personal grouches, there Is an undefinable spirit, as we are so often told, which binds us all together and makes up a college worth knowing. These things are all very well in themselves, but don’t we feel some thing lacking In our column called Student Opinion? What’s the matter? we need original ideas! The same girls write opinions every week until their poor brains are simply tortured trying to think up something to fuss about or praise about the dear old school. It is time someone else should play fair and introduce some fresh Ideas. It is rather queer about our s[)oken and written opinions anyway. When we are asked to write an opinion for Tub Twig, you would think the ma jority of students were babies with not a thought In the world to furrow Its way through their smooth, placid little brains; but you should hear us on the campus and in our rooms. We are so versatile! Come on girls; expend some of your marvelous criti cal ability in behalf of our weekly paper. If you have been given this wonderful talent of being a critic, it Is wrong for you not to do your ut most to develop along this line. Spring has come now with all its revivifying power. Let’s wake up and all work together to make these last few weeks one glorious success. KIKltKIMTII SLMitrr Does the student body have M«>re- dith spirit? Each day we see individ ual loyalty manifested among the girls, also there Is the loyalty to the class, the loyalty to the society all of which banded together give us that reater and higher loyalty, Meredith spirit. This Is the spirit which draws new girls each year to our college and it is the spirit which In the end will put the bond campaign over the top. For without the cooperation of those for whom the greater Meredith is being erected there will not be co operation of the state as a denomina tion. The ten letters written by each girl have wrought wonderful results but, girls, lets don’t stop here! let's get our folks at home at work and who knows when and where our In fluence as the student body of Mere dith may end! “Peggy” Hinton spent the week end in Raleigh. Mabel Oldham visited friends and parents in Wendell the past week end. Elaine Goode spent the week-end in Tarboro. Ruth Buffaloe is spending a few days in Garner. Jennie Mae Hartslleld and Betty Hewlett spent Saturday and Sunday in Wake Forest. L(»ST AM* FOUXH Robersonville. -Greenville Daily News. WEDNESDAY CHAPEL GIVEN TO MUSICAL PROGRAM (UKLS HKOUGHr CLOSKlt TO- UKTllElt UV MUSICAL NUMHEKS BY SUiMOUS Most of our time in chapel last Wednesday morning was devoted to music. It was given by some of our Seniors, concerning which class we feel sadness while thinking of the parting so near at hand. Yet while they are with us, we enjoy their gladness and their music. First wc’ had a piano solo played by Geraldine Gower. We always love to her Geraldine play becausc of the smoothness and clearness and because of the careful Interpretation that gives forth a style all her own. Then came .some "music by the twins." Thelma Fleetwood sang while Elma played the violin obligato, with Mrs, Mon- crlef at the piano. It was enjoyed much by all. Next Miss Zabrlski read a Psalm, after which we closed with a prayer, which Mrs. Moncrlef sang. Ellen Marshall and Myrtle Tyson visited friends at the Yarborough last week-end. Irene Averett visited friends in Gar ner last week. Have you glanced at the Lost and Found case lately? What did you see? Rings, pins, silver pencils handkerchiefs, gold fountain pens stamps, gloves, shoes, anti almost everything else that can be imagined To whom do these things belong? The little case with Its glass doors has certainly been a faithful home to certain articles, who went astray, for weeks and even months. These things were found at Meredith. They must belong to some of our Meredith folks. They are valuable, too. I won der why they can’t be rescued and put in the possession of the rightful owner? Have you lost anything from ; straight pin up to a hundred dollars If so, look in our Lost and Found Case, and there you will find the lost article safely abiding.

M. Broughton and Mr. Lee Mc Bride White lired them with enthus iasm for the bond project. They told us how much our Interest and our cooperation would mean in arousing Interest and enthusiasm In the people of ihe Slate for Meredith bonds. They called on us to make a few sacrifices in order that we might “.-itart the ball rolling” towards our greater Meredith—this Is the crucial moment, and the success or failure of the plan will in a large nioasure depend on how we “carry on.” After Mr. White and Mr. Hroughton showed us how much depended on us Dr. Brewer called for speeches from the faculty and from the student body. Several members of the I'aoulty subscribed to thousand dollar bonds each, while the Hludenls were not far behind when a member of the Senior class led the student body by pledging a lifty dollar bond then and there. Up to the present time the faculty and students have pledged over nine thousand dollars and the present In dications promise that this flguro will be raised In next few days.
