The regular Y. W. Vesper Sunday
Night, was unusually inspiring and in
structive. I’liG devotion was conducted
by Mary Herring, reading from the
twelCth chapter of Jeremiah.
‘‘Ai)andoiiing a career for a mission”
was the subjcet of one of the ailclrosses
by Dr. Harry Clark at the student
conferonce which was hold at Chapel
Hill. Atabei Clair Haggard reported
this address. Ono of the mnin ciues-
tions raised was, ‘'Shall we as students
al)aiu1on our career for the nation?”
Tlie e.Kaniple of the soldier boys in the
last war was discussed by Dr. Clarke.
He said of the many prol’cssions in the
world today none could come up to
being a missionary, and his final ap
peal was direct to the students to give
ihemselvos up to the will of Christ.
Following the report Ijy Mabel Clair

The report from the World Court
Confcrcncc was given by Bornioe
Hamrick. The conference was hold at
Duke University, October 31-N'oveni!)cr
3. Tlie coni'erence was attended by
representatives of most all ihf! colleges
in North Carolina, both white and
colored. This being the iirst inter
racial coiiCercnce ever held in North
Carolina. Some thouglit that an inter
racial conference would not be success
ful, but Miss llanirick reported the
conference a great succcss. A beau
tiful spirit was manifested tliroughont
tl)o conference and it was plain tliat
botli white and colored are striving
for the same goal.
An exphuiation of the factors con
cerned ill the World Court was given
before the real address on tiie World
Court. Most students do not under
stand just what is meant by Worhl
Court and in order for them to form
a just opinion towards the World Court
it M-as ncccssary for them to under
stand the meaning of World Court be
fore deciding tlieir attitude towards
such a court.
Many instances were cited that
could have causcd war such aa the
World War. Something must be don©
to prevent war and bring about peace.
In science we are getting ready for
war or peace, which? Is America
doing her part in making world peace?
The students of America are not as
much concerned with the peace prob
lem as students of Europe. There were
two ways suggested by which war
could be prevented, first through or
ganizations, conferences, leagues and
courts. “There can be no united
world until there is united govern-
ment. . . . The World War did not di
vide the nations into two camps—
allies and Germans, but united them
Into two camps." Tlie second way of

November 7th marked the passing
of the Great Event of the fall semes
ter: namely, Stunt Night. Prepara
tions tor it have occupied a large
part of the time since school opened,
and tiie struggle on the part of the
Sophomores to obtain the Freshman
stunt with the valiant defense of '29
has furnlsiied a cause Cor much ex
citement at Meredith. It is said that
the Sophomores did get the programs
for one stunt which the Freshmen had
planned, but the wily newish had not
put ali their eggs In one basket, hav
ing prepared no loss than three stunts,
and having either one of these ready
for presentation at a moment's noticc.
The stunt they did give was entitled
"Collegiate.” It was made up of a
series of talileaux. or pantomimes, rep
resenting various phases of life at
Meredith. The following synopsis of
the program was given;

regular meeting in the Chemistry lec

ness, the president, Margaret lOagles,
Introduced Mr. Roller, head of the

School, as the speaker of the meeUng.
Mr. Holler chose aa his subject
"Aluminum,” and ho made a very in

on this nie(.al which was once so ex
pensive despite the fact that it Is In
such common use now. This is evi
denced by the fact that a metal which
was worth $40 a pound at one time
should now be used so widely, even

In this stunt some of the costumes
and poses were rather clover: the ath-
lotic tableau was the best of them all.
The State Freshmen gave a comic note
to the program. Even the flapper bob,
however, did not priivent theae pseudo
men from having a curious unsiiorn
look which is not a characteristic of
the masculine visitor.s to Meredith on
Saturday nights. Virginia Hamrick
as pr. Brown was very realistic; It Is
Co be hoped, however, that the Glee
Club is not guilty of such inharmo
nious sounds as Its Imitation gave
forth. The music furnished by Janio
Burns at the piano was appropriate to
every pose and added much to the
stunt.
The Sophomore stunt was called
‘‘Soph Spirit of '2S," The programs
were cut In the shape of a tiger's head
with open Jaws, the tiger being the
mascot of '38. Scene I showed the
Soph spirit toward the Freshmen, The
cast in this scene was as follows:
Eight Sophs: Ellen Broadwell, Mil
dred Allen, Mary Willis, Bertha
Bethea, Estelle White, Mary Lee Sears.
Charlotte Curtis, Dorothy Turlington,
and one Freshman, Evelyn White,
The Sophs wore pajama suits with
purple trousers and gold coats liaving
a '28 on the left side. These costumes
were very effective, especially when the
wearers sang "Ma's Kid” to the soli
tary Freshman seated on a high stool
In their midst, A number of fancy
steps were pul in to enhance this
song and several other.s which were
sung in this scene. Red White as the
Freshman gave a very reallsLic imi
tation of the attitude of '29. She
wore the green dress, black neckband,
and green hair ribbon ’2!) has reason
to remember so well, and her actions
were so appropriate that they must
have been remembered from last year
when '27 was the Sophomore class.
During the chorus to “Mas Kid” her
face expressed a mixture of fear, grief,
and vexation.
Scene II depleted the Soph Spirit
toward the Seniors. Three of the
above mentioned Sophomores gave a
little narty for three of their Senior
Sisters. Peggy Wheelei'. Mary O'Kelley
and Blanche Stokes, wiio wore repre
sented by Margaret Nash, Eloise Green
wood, and Sara Oliver. This scene
contained some lovely songs which
were used to illustrate the regret of
(ho two classes at parting wUIi each
other.
Scenc 111 was presented by the orig
inal eight Sophomores, this time wear
ing red Mi'i'edilh sweaters and white
slcirts. Songs to Mcrodilh gave Ihis
scene distinction. Virginia Branch at
the piano played the accomi)animents.
The Junior stunt was a lovely pic
ture of boarding school life in the
