THE TWIG
Jobes;
Rose’s red, violet's blue,
So am I—my bills are due.
The door to u man’s heart is often
a stage door.
Many a supposedly good Christian
cusses when his radio gives him a ser
mon instead of jazz music.
Heard at a symphony concert:
Brainy: "Don’t you just adore Mo
zarts’ works’/”
Brainless: "Oh. yes, I like him all
right—but why hasn't he written any
thing lately?”
(Curtain.)
The flapper's watchword: “Stop,
Hook and Kissem.”
ODE TO FAT GIRL
Your face is fair; your lips, your hair
Are all a man could choose;
But if you long for loves sweet song,
My dear, you must reduce.
Farmer: "I don't know which is
worse, worms or sparrows."
Notkins: "I don’t know either, I
have never had the sparrows.”
John Schnell says he carried his girl
down by the old mill stream, but when
he asked her, she replied in the nega
tive, declaring that she would not kiss
him by a dam site.
Why i-an't a Jew play golf?
Because he can’t say 4, he has to
say 3.DS.
What comes from two Greeks meet
ing and shaking hands?
Why immediately up springs a
“cafe."

PUOVES A\ INVOOATIOS'
(C'oufinitcd from Fagc one)
And come they had. Two long, long
Hues, one of girls wearing black bod
ices trimmed with orange ruffles and
orange skirt, the other of boys wearing
oranfje Ijhmses and black trousers,
tiled in. Both wore the black glove,
the mask and blade caps with jaunty
orangp IViitliprs. Aften circling all
the tables the girls came to their places
in llui hollow square of the tables
dt'coratod with owls, and orange and
black cn-pe paper. A large owl from
whose wings streamers descended to
all ibo Suplis' tables and whose breast
was i;nuod fiy an oran.ne “27" presided
ovi.T the gathering. The boys took
tlioir places behind Seniors to help
ihem to their chairs. Finally all were
seated after yells and songs—the re
spite was not long, however, be cause
sijon thoro were niiiro yells and songs.
Finally the Seniors formed a double
line from their tables all the way to
the front door and the singing Soplu-
tnurchcd out between them. On the
camini.s ilieri; wa.s more merriment.
According to Odd class tradition the
Seniors formed a ring and the Soph?
formed one also around the Senior.®
and more songs and gleeful danclnp
around ensued. Finally all the SopliF
plied Into hugh trucks and drove olT
shouting and yelling "Where dn you
suppose we’re going,” thought every
Sophomore as the trucks swung into
the Wake Forest road. Great cnnjec
turlng went on until the trucks stop
ped in front of a large home set on n
hill back from the road. An oranne
and black “27” was silhouetted on the
doorway and the porch light was dec
orated with orange and black stream
ers. Then a hilarious horde swooped
down on the house which was all dock
ed In orange and black. After coats
wore doffod many interesting and
mirth producing games were played.
Then at nine GRUB. Sandwiches,
cakes, cookies, candles, cocoa and fruit
were bountifully distributed. Then
good-nights were aald to our kind
patroness Mrs. Wallace and the trucks
were reloaded and the pleasant jour
ney home began.
Arrived, all the Freshmen were
routed out and made to form In line
In front of the main building. The
ofliccrs of the class pushed the efflgy
of Fresh-Junior” in a wheel barrow—
then
“Fresh wail—Soph Sail
The owl Is hooting tonight.”
Amid the howls of the Freshmen
poor Fresh-Junior was conducted to
tlio middle tennis court where a
bonfire was lighted and the baby, sym
bolizing the enmity between the Fresh
and Sophs, was cremated to the tune
of a funeral oration by Miss Lonie Gor
don, Freshman president.
After apologies solicited by the
Sophs from the Freshest of the Fresh;
the newish did a snake dance around
the bonfire and with songs and yells
to the Good Sport Freshmen, the Sen
iors and the Sophs, the crowd dis
persed Just as it began to rain. The
Sophs went to the "Y" room where
a perfect day was completed by a
marshmallow roast “and,” as Fepys
the famous English diarist said, "so to
bed.”

EJITEKTAIX WAKE FOKEST
(Continued from par/c one.)
Those attending the social numbered
around four hundred, over half of
which were Wake Forest boys. Great
credit is due Miss Edith Maynard who
is local president; of the Meredith
B. Y. P. U’s., and to the various com
mittees who planned the program.
Mr. L. B. Mosely, head president of
B. Y. P. U's. of Wake Forest was the
spokesman for Wake Forest, but the
many yells of the entire crowd as
sured the Meredith girls that each
one had a delightful time.
We are proud of the tact that the
B. Y. P. U. social of Meredith is fast
becoming one of the outstanding social
events of the College. We are looking-
forward to another.

FRESHMAN SAVES NINE

VltOVES TUUE IlEKOINE
It is said that an application for
a Carnegie Medal for a member of
the Freshman class has been sent In.
As the paper goes to press her name
s still unavailable, as she modestly
shrinks from standing before the eye
of the public. However, the facts to
be set before the public are as follows:
Attracted by wails for help from a
remote corner of the campus, the
young heroine speedily made her way
towards the secluded spot. When
she reached her destination, she
stood for a moment, unable to apeak,
rooted to the ground by what she saw
Surely she alone could not hope to
cope with the blood-thirsty mob she
saw—but for the sake of the perse
cuted, and for the glory of Alma Mater,
she would try.
Speeding to her room she donned a
gym suit, which left her free for ac
tion. On her way back she seized a
large stick as the best weapon for
defense should the assailants turn on
her. Summoning all her courage, she
dashed forward, branished her club
—^and. as the two dogs hastily de
parted, she climbed the tree and
brought down a trembling, woe-be-gone
cat!

POETS SHOWN BY I'HIS
(Continued from page one.)
read very expressively by Crystal
Davis. Madeline Moore’s reading of
two of Sara Teasdale’s shorter poems
was enjoyed very much. Mary Her
ring read a very appropriate poem by
Helen Poteat Stallings. This pro
gram was very timely and appreciated
by all the Phis for, feeling as most of
us do that we pay too little attention
to our present-day writers, it gave us
a bolter acquaintance and appreciation
of our writers who are still living to
day. Our president called to our at
tention the fact that Daisy Holmes,
the treasurer, Is in the hospital and
requested J,hat all who could, write
her a cheering line or tw'o. With this
announcement Society adjourned.
