BIULLIANT SUCCESS
(Continued from page one)
To Elizabeth Purnell’s toast;
“You can sing to the lads and lassies
To youth and to flowers and spring
You cnn toast to the trustees and
teachers
You can toast—well, most anything.
But there's one who is ever worthy
Of our toasts and our songs and
our praise,
He’s true and he's fine and he’s
faithful
And he proves it in many ways.
He's right there whatever the prob
lem
Building a college or remembering
a name
And wherever you go, Dr. Brewer,
Our love is forever the same.”
Dr. Brewer gave a few brief remarks
—very apropos of the situation, recall
ing the spirit of the two classes when
they met as Sophomores and Fresh
men, contrasted with the slrterly,
harmonious spirit manifested in their
meeting at the banciuet. He also
broached the subject nearest his heart,
New Meredith, calling the classes to
the ranks of those cooperating in its
building.
Miss Blanche Stokes, in her inimi
table way, gave a very clever, catchy
toast:
Here's to the boys
Tall boys, short boys, fat boys, lean
boys
Blue-eyed, grey-eyed, black-eyed,
brown-eyed.
Light hair, dark hair, gray hair,
no hair (at all)
But hero's to the boys, I like them all.
Here's to the boys
Ricli men, poor men, no beggarmen
nor thieves
But doctors, lawyers and merchant-
chlefs.
Teachers, preachers, bankers and
such
But if I don't stop. I'll say too much,
To the boys.
The final toast of the evening, to
.Mereilitli, was given by Miss Daisy
Holmes.

meetings are valuable both profes
sionally and socially and heretofore
great strides have been taken in the
college publications.
It has been the policy of the Mere
dith publications, the Twio and
.-Icof'ii to send delegates to the asso
ciation and the same will be done in
this session. There will be probably
four or five delegates from Meredith
College.
The association which meets at
Davidson College has an excellent
program worked out for this session
and many delegates are expected.
“WOMEN”
If you wear balloon pants and carry
a cane, she thinks you are a "Nut;”
and if you wear conservative clothes
.she thinks you are dumb.
If you don’t love her, she runs after
you; if you do love her, slie runs
after other boys.
If you don't like for her to go with
other boys, she thinks you are selfish;
If you don't mind it she gets the im
pression that) you are not true.
If you tell her she is good looking,
she sets conceited; if you don’t she
thinks you are mean.
"The World University proposes,
therefore, to base its teaching on the
concept of the unity of the world and
to inquire Into the possibilities of
erecting a world civilization by Inves
tigating the contributions with the
various national and racial civiliza
tions have made and can make to
the world, and demonstrating the re
sults of those researches, not only In
books and lectures, but especially in
films and other artistic products. It
will set up an international museum,
In which each nation will iiave its
room, where will be collected the best
artistic, scientific and economic prod
ucts of the nation, and where infor
mation on all the activities of that
land will be accessible to everyone.
It will organize traveling exhibitions,
film shows, concerts, dramatic enter
tainments. and clubs; it will promote
the interchange of students and pro
fessors, in short, it will endeavor to
use all possllile methods of diffusing
the best that is in the world to every
body.” —Xcio Student.

remarks she read several poems by
contemporaries, among which was
recognized the poems composition of
Vachel Lindsay on the founding of a
midwestern city. She used this poem
as an example of real poetry which is
neither brutal nor effeminate, neither
meaningless sound nor musical sense.
Mrs, Gilbert’s talk was particularly
appropriate for her audience and she
was very well liked by those who
heard her, She deserves her wide
reputation as a good lecturer.
There can’t be parties without any

There can’t be girls without any boys;

Ice, hot air, and ether were-flying fast
and furiously. Mary Yarborough acted
as toastmlstress, proving to be her own
charming self. Georgia Newman,
from a perch near the ceiling, de
lighted all present by her imitation
o!' a dropping . funnel. Mary Craw
ford, the genius of the class, discov
ered a quicker way of getting through,
blowing up Mabel Andrews and
Gladys Byrum in her achievement.
'I'hrough the din was heard the voice
of Violet Holloweli, proposing a toast
to a poached egg. This was drunk by
all present and absent, the medium
being a mild solution of H^jSO,.
Charley Mae Epley was at this time
discovered asleep in the hood,' and a
judicious application of ether was re
quired to awaken her sensibilities.
It was later discovered to be time
for gym, so, with many thanks and
expressions of pleasure for the enjoy
able time had, the class bid Dr. Win
ston adieu. But before they left, a
delicious ice-course heaped with salt
was served, condensing at the same
time the ether and the tempers, tem
peratures, and temperaments of the
guests.
It is to be hoped that many other
such occasions will happen tor Tlie
