Next time wc greet you w’c can
tell you whether' there' will be one
diploma missing from' the grand,
total. Blessed are the prepax’ed, be
cause they don’t have to burn the
mid-night oil or the forbidden bath
room light to cram for exams. We
resolved this year to do our daily
studying along with the dozen, but
in spite of it all, we ]oiu the large
majority and shiver in our shoes.
Said shoes, by the way, should con
sist of hip-boots.
To the Alumnae we w’ould say:
‘VVatch for the next issue of The
Twig. We haven’t been here long
enough ourselves to learn about it
all, but by then we can get out an
issue that will tell you all that you
want to know. Each phase of the
New ilereditli ^vill be taken up, and
you will at once obey that inipvilse,
and decide to return for our first
ComniencemciTt here.
Have you seen all the room for
uthletics? Wc can commune with
Nature as far as the highway, but
beyond that her acquaintance is de
nied us. So let’s get busy, and have
.some tennis courts, and a baseball
diamond. The football season is
over, and this year’s championship
decided, but the basketball season
is just jjoginning.
Jf there is anything in the final
perfioveranee of the saints, we are
sur“ that tlie ones in charge have an
almost visible halo. Think of all
the perseverance and patience neces
sary to ad.vanc'c things as far as they
are. Of course, we can’t expect
(everything to he as it finally wdll,
so if wo make the best of things that
are really better than what we left,
we all ought to be able to make the
campus life bigger, broader, and
better tliun ever before.
By now we can tell whether the
Jlonor System really works at Mere-
ditli. Tlie y. W. is responsible for
the ironor Stands Avliich appear on
our Iinlls, and it is up to us as a
whole to see (hat they live up to the
lianie. It will help us and the Y. W.
and raise the 3iioralo of the Student
Body if this system works. Andj
since it does in other places, and
AEeredith now is up with any of
tliem, wc can see no reason why it
shouldn’t.

TJIAT IMPULSE
The vision of loveliness stood be
fore him. She was lovelier than he
had expected—lovelier than a room
mate’s wildest fancies.
He didn't know what to say, lie
didn’t know what to do.
He did it.
He said, “Walking’s good and the
road’s not crowded.”
She didn’t know what to say, she
didn’t know what to do.
She did it.
She said: “Do you love me?”
He was bashful and said, "Yes.”
She said, “Express yourself in bet
ter terms.’'
He didn’t know what to say, he
didn’t know what to do.
She did it.
