On that afternoon the yearly Ijarbeeue—a much enjoyed occasion— was held in the grove. This event lias been an annual custom since the inir- chase of the new site. It is one that la looked forward to with much in terest and enthusiasm; it is indeed appropriate to celebrate the move to “Greater Meredith” by an annual bar becue like this one was. The barbecue was attended by the faculty, trustees, students, and many friends of Meredith College. Among some of the guests at this time were: Dr. Chas. B. Maddry. Dr. J. A. Ellis, Dr. C. E. Greaves. Mr. Perry Morgan Mr. Elliott, Miss Winnie Rickett, Mr Mooneyhani. Mr. R. P. Downey, and others. Just before live o’clock the students, facnlty, and friends began to assemble in the grove where spacious tables had been provided. Each one seemed to have a good time in this general get- tpjrpther, Thfi Kiris formed a line ex tending far back into the grove and after the blessing was pronounced hy Dr. C. E. Greaves, the line began to move forward beside tlie well-laden tables. Each one was given a tray and was served with luirbecue, pota toes, slaw, pickles, rolls, apples, lemon ade. and ice cream. As the crowd was served, the girls dispersed into various parts of the grove, carefree and Tuippy The new girls certainly must hffve caught the spirit of real Meredith hos pitality at this time. All homesick ness anti care were banished by the thoughts of the good time for all. An- ❖ {Continued on pririe Jour) VESPER SERVICE CONDUCTED BY Y. W. A.

The service was oi)ened with Inspirational singing, after which Miss Thompson, the Y. W, A. councilor, was introduced. She conducted ouv devotional, reading to us the passage of the watchful vlrginslland reminding us that college days are days o£ prep aration. Starting with the idea that the Y. W. A. Is a preparing station, she enumerated and discussed the five fold mission of Y. W. A.: Bible Study. Prayer. Mission Study, Stewardship, and Personal Service. Miss Thompson closed her talk with an appeal to all "What are you going to mean tor ad vancement of God’s kingdom?” After the devotional.

What more can be said? Only that we were all excited and "crazy” to go. Determination to do the latter had brought the big yel low bus out (.0 Meredith, and our last class over, we were ready to go. In a little or no time we had i)aid our fare and were rolling happily—though a little roughly—over the detour into Raleigh. Then on to Wake Forest. All the way we were wondering whom •.ve'd see, who’d win the game, and if we would have a big time. Of course, we would have a big time, because we were already, and of course W. F. would win. because they did. When less than an hour had passed we were there—twenty of us, with freshly powdered noses and beaming faces. Safely through the gate we were ushered to a place reserved especially for us—roped off with maroon and white, right beside our W. F, broth ers. And lo! when we walked up. what should we hear but fifteen rahs for Meredith! Our heads went up with our pri(l?, | And then the game hewin anil every body was yelling—for didn’t W. F. make the lirst touchdown? .And didn't they play wonderfully all the game through? It was a hard fought game, and when W. F. ran the score up to IM-O in the last half, it was ,iust too good to be true. Out on tlfe field of action, between the halves, friends greeted and i-egreetcd. You ,iust saw more people from everywhere—people you never thought would be there. Hut they were. Then gi'oetings had to bo exchanged all over again in order to say “Have you ever seen a better game?” We bade our friend.s farewell at the has and began our journey Meredith- ward—tired hut happy. In Raleigh we stopped for reinforcements—mean ing a little food—and never did a dope and sandwich taste better to thirsty, dusty girls. As wo arrived at our Alma Maler we returned the lifteen rahs for W. F. and piled out of the bus, Was there ever a liner trip! •ROSE MARIE” EN.IOYED BY MEREDITH GIRLS Sl'KCIAIi mis CIIAItTKItFO A great number of Meredith girls attended “Rose Marie,” a musical play, presented at the State Theater Tues day evening, September 28. Since there was such a large number, a spe cial chartered bus ran for the purpose of carrying the Meredith girls. Miss Strlngileld, one of the teachers in the music department, chaperoned this party.

Everybody begins to ciuiet diiwu .just a bit, and now some of us are busily engaged in conversafion concerning the conference, others are talking about Hie good time they have already begun to have, and still others are enjoying the scenery, just the glimpses they might get as the train moves swiftly on towards Birming ham. The goal of our dreams for many days—almost a reality now. Everybody oH' for Atlanta—foui hours lo 1)0 spent here. Did you real I'M' that several hours have passed since we left Raleigh, and it’s seven o'clock next morning? What in the world will we do during these four hours? Take a wonderful sight-seeing trip out to Stone Mountain, sixteen miles east of Atlanta, Wc hear some body remark, after returning to At lanta, that this was worth the entire trip, and even there our hearts were lifted up in gratitude to Him who gave to us nature in all of its glory. It's almost eleven o'clock girls, .lust think in a few hours we will reach Birmingham. We have made our last stop before reaching this place, and we are surprised to find that ten cars of students have joined us. And so' let's on to Birmingham!

On the other hand. Eleanor, a charming girl from South Carolina, has already proved her ex ecutive ability in her manner of con trolling the exceedingly large Fresh man class, so there is little danger that she will have any rivalry what soever.
