Wolcomo swoet springtime, witli
its invigoriitiiig breezes mid seorsiick-
er suits.
Wlio says Ag students aren’t ton
lioutuls?
Wjike Forest H. V. P. U. social,
rile event of the season !
A\^e were on tlie point of feeling
rather slighted since our Juniov-
Senior Banquet was so conspicuous
ly iiW.ent from tlie columns of our
rival publication, but we are con
soled when we think that they can
hunlly be exi)ected to know iniicli
about it since none of them attended
the affair.
Four more weeks—then rest to
the weary.
’I'he advent of hot weather is ap-
parenrly being accompanied by a
scv're e])ideuiic of spring fever.
Either that or the annual pve-exani
flood (if work is taking all the time
Ilf iill the students, judging from
till' great variety of excuscs wo have
ve(fcived eoneevning various Avrite-
ups which failed to appear.
We eai'uestly hofie tliat our neigh-
boi' follege will soon obtain the
niuch-wi.shed-for sidewalks.
The fact that ahnost the whole
student body attended the perform
ance of Machelh augurs well for
the intelloetual and cultural cali
ber of our college and proves that
the former appearances of Mantelle
and his company have not been as
caviure to the multitnde. The sleep
walking scene of Lady Macbeth, in
the last play hud extraordinary
merit; in fact the |)erforuiance was
remarkable chiefly on account of
Genevieve Hamper instead of Man
telle, although he w’aa undeviably
groat.
Billy Sunday asserts that girls
have a riglit to dross just as they
please, to bob their hair if they
want to, and to use just as inueh
paint as they think necessary. By
siiying tliis he shows that he is not
nearly so intolerant and narrow-
ntinded as a great many others of
• s sex. It looks as if men ought
0 realize that lecturing to or about
tlie perversity of women is rather
orse than in vain, since sensible
girls do not paint too much nor
bob their hair if it is not becoming
or convenient, and those who arc
not sensible will hardly take kind
ly to such friendly suggestions us
Vie have heard thrown out.
The Phi play was a success from
every point of view. The cast was
well selected, each girl, seeming so
fitted for lier part that it might
have been written for her. Dr. Hor
ton was respoiisible in a large meas
ure for the success-of the play.
The PJii Society extend to him their
tiianks and appreciation.

(invcriiuicnt J^'Csidents whieh met
at 'J’jilliihfis.scc, Florida during the

Tlu‘ chapel talk l>y Majoi' Morgan
was something diU'erent iti the lino
of exhortation. We trust tliut his
enthusiasm will prove eoutiigious.
A year after leaving college George
married Betty, the most wonderful
girl in the world, and settled down to
a happy life. They had a pretty little
cottage in a suburb which shamed the
literature of the Los Angeles real es
tate men, Most of the mornings were
sunny as George walked to the station
to catch the 8:30 train. (He had
l)anker's hours.) No pestiferouB
neighbors dropped'aroand in tho even
ings just as they were about to get
Cincinnati on tlieir two-tube set,
George had n prosperous l)uslness.
I.!‘tiy was happy in cooking wonderful
ini'Hls and keeping house for him, and
Mfo was a sweet summer dream.
Hounds like a pack of assorted lies,
(liiesn’t it? Well, it is, but wouldn’t
it make a corking plot for a movie?

.\propos of Sunday eriticism.s
which have come to our ears cron-
f(‘i’iiiiig the way the girls coiidlu-t
themselves oii the eainpus, we might
remark that we are so coiiccrned
with onr own affairs that we have
iittle timo to worry about the im
pression we make on some of our
critics.

Dearest Dada:
If this weather doesn’t change. I'm
afraid that I shall commit suicide,
homicide. Inside, and outside! I only
know of one thing hotter.
The play I wrote you about was
given Saturday night, and it was aw
fully good. State, Carolina, and Wake
Forest certainly did their best to make
.1 man out of one girl. She had on a
Carolina belt, bounded on the North
:iy Wake Forest trousers and sox, and
on the South by a State shirt and
pipe, the latter of which lent atmos
phere not only figuratively, but lit
erally.
Do you remember that little Sopho-
;nore Jackie Snyder, that you met last
summer? Well, he’s been shipped
I’l'oin Wake Forest for cheating. It
•juems that on an anatomy test they
iisked how many vertebrae there were,
.ind poor Jackie was caught rubbing
.lis back.
Vou know, In spite of all the slams
hey give us college girls, I’ve reached
i:ho conclusion that we’re like angels
In at least one respect. We never have
,m cavUily thing to wear!
The man that wrote “in the spring a
young man's fancy lightly turns ''—
was right. But he missed the direc
tion, ’cause I’ve discovered that it turns
merely to base-ball and track-meets,
and as for love—well, in their spare
moments, they viay call you up If 9181
isn't busy.
A remark I overheard the other day
tempts me to challenge State College
to an “As You Are" week-end. In re
turn for leaving off our paint and
powder, they slionld leave off razors
•ind stacomb! Don't you think It would
be fifty-Iifty?
I wrote Mama that I was passing
my work with ease and she wrote back
aud asked me to try to do better, be
cause E’s were conditions when she
was here.
I must stop now, and write some for
the Twiu. It seems that everybody
ivuows lots that’s happened till you
•isk ’em to write It up—and then—
.hey know everything else but!
Anyway, I’ve broken my New Year's
I'OBolutlon that I made April Fools Day,
and fallen In love all over again—
I’ll tell you all about it next time.
Lots of love,
PiNKIJi.
P. S. I've decided to withdraw my
cliallenge, cause my latest has a stand
ing (late for the week-ends and the
sand-papered effcct wouldn’t go!
