All’.s ready for St. Putvick’s Duy! Tliere’s always soiiipthiiig to be tluinkful for. Think of State and Caroliiiii boys struggling with exams. Every class reeited, every day that pas.s(‘s, regardless of tlic trials it bears, means we’re tliat much nearer Home, Sweet Monie! Five more weeks. Precious thoujibt! one of the best amateur perform ances ever given at Meredith. The actresses showed unusual talent in the interpretation of their parts and wore repaid for the many weeks of hard work by a hirge and very ap preciative audicncc. Dr. W. C. Horton, the ever faithful and com petent director, deserves great praise for his training of the playersi “Green Stockings” will long be re- niembered by all who saw it. The scampering down the halls early in the morning and late at night means nothing more than that those practiced in the art of basket ball ore endeavoring to become more so. As the games are being played off and teams eliminated, each class becomes more and more confidont in her own representatives. Great thiiigs are expected and shall doubt less be realized. The day of reck oning is bound to come, and, we are safe in saying, will prove “the sur vival of the fiittest.” whose allotted function it is to do 80. Every girl should feel it bcv duty as well as her privilege to help. The committee is composed largely of Seniors who will be us honest as possible in their task, but who will not be a part of the student body next year. It is desired by them that the underclassmen ex press tlieir opinion now as to who is best fitted to lead the student ac tivities next year. If you knoAv a girl well fitted for an office talk iier up, put her before the students anl —help the committee by making suggestions. We want our politics to bo fair and it is our object to have the best girl in every office. BETTER SPEECH WEEK OBSERVED AT MEREDITH The spring holds many altrac- tions whicli an* to take place in tlip College. Tiie chapel is literally being foiiglit over for practices dur ing the popular liour of “six-forty- fivc to s(‘ven-forf,v-fivi\’’ With so much ha])])(‘ning time will pass swiftly—so speaketli tlie optimist. The !iir is full of politic.^. Poor candidates! 'riiey’rc being idealized by friends and criticised by every body else. 'I’o .Siiy the l(>ast, all they ever did. (jr ]i]n’f lo as the case might be, is being rhig up and ex posed. .Moral—if you ever expect to “I’un” for a -ollege office begin now being perfect, for tliat is what will be ex]K'Ct“d of vfiu. To its own very efiieient and co operative assistant business manager the Twid wishes to extend its heart iest congratulations on her recent election to the highest honor possible at Meredith. From all we know of the position it is a real job as well as a groat honor, or at least it isn’t one to be entered into witb a light, carefree heart. And so, to Katherine, along with our con gratulations and best wishes for the work, we offer also our sympathy. However, she will not need this if she is accorded the support and co operation due her from every mem ber of the student body. Our first cooperative movement should be that of making our government really self-government. To accom plish this it is necessary for every Senior, as well as the rest of the classes, to fall in line. And if this is done, next year’s Freshmen Avill find it easier than any class before to become adjusted to their new en vironment and really catch the s])irit of “every girl on her honor.” 'I'he student elections wliich we are now in the midst of are most important in regartl to college life- of next year, and tlie responsii)ility of making nominations should not 1h‘ left entirely to the commirtee 1867 1927 l>K. IIARKISOX OF STATE SPEAKS IN CHAPEL Tiie Junior C'hiss is to b{' con- grarulnted on their clioicc of Presi dent for tlie following year. Von couldn’t have done better, und we ])redict for you a great year witli Mildi'cd as your leaih'r. r’liiijx'l means moi'c to us now since we can go because we choos to and not because our al'seiiee would mean a demerit. The amend- ni(‘nts made to the recently pas.sed absence rules were gi'cetetl joyously by the stmlent l)ody. “(ii'e'u Stockings,” wliich was presented by the Asti'O Society Saturday evening, was truly a suc cess and bus l)e-ii pronounced as The week of March 5-12 was Better Speech Week throughout the State of North Carolina, and was so observed at Meredith. Tlie attack against bad English was led by Dr. Harrison, Pro fessor of English at N. C. State Col lege, in a short talk made to the Mere dith student body and faculty at chapel Saturday morning. Dr. Har rison was a most interesting speaker. In a humorous and polite manner he referred to certain of the most com mon errors made in pronunci ation by tlie present day world. “Enun ciate clearly: recognize all of your sylables, slighting none, regardless of your haste,” Dr. Harrison advised. Reference also was made to our "loud speakers”—the high tones in which one converses. In a low, mellow but distinct voice he cautioned us to take care lest our voices should grow squeaky. The flght against incorrect English was continued on Monday night when the “Grand Parade” was staged In the dining room. The procession marched through the hall with incorrect phrases, obsolete words, barbarians, etc., leading. The grand marchers halted on the outside long enough to reverse the order of marching, and a second time the procession passed through with incorrect expressions captured by correct ones and obsolete phrases by modern phrases. Both the talk by Dr. Harrison and the parade through the dining room were enjoyed: the results will be de termined by the English spoken upon our campus In the future.
