By means of this, our own newspaper, we, as individual members of the present body, are granted the opportunity of expressing to our fellow-students our ideas, de.sires and thoughts. Through this agency the alumnae, as well are enabled to keep connections with the happenings at their Alma Mater. Tiiic Twill, more than any other or ganization, is dependent upon the stu dent body. Without your willingness to report all news items you may have knowledge of, or to share with others your occasional rich joke, the paper cannot exist. Tiik Twin extends a particular welcome to those students who have recently entered college with minds filled with new and interesting Ideas. You are now a member of our student body, and Taic Twin wants your coSperatlon. Mauki- Ci-aihk HikhmUiu, Kditor The Twig. To all new girls: The Acorn, the monthly magazine of Meredith College, extends a cordial welcome. We are glad that you are here, and we are particularly eager for you to become Interested in our maga zine.

We need you in all phases of sport life on the campus. We want to make the physical side of life at Meredith what it should be. Won’t you help? You are permitted to engage in any of the spurts in which you are most in terested—basketball, tennis, baseball, volley ball or hiking. Help us to put athletics "on top” at Meredith! Licua Dii.i.K, President Athletic As/tovialion. iConti7iued from page two) once felt tlielr influence and within an hour it seemed that I, too, had a place in it all. My first impression of the dining room was the attractiveness of the building, but my second almost floored me, literally and figuratively speaking, for as I stepped within the dining room my feet began slipping and slid ing as If 1 was walking on banana peelings, and had I not clutched the air witli extremely awkward gesiuies I would have found myself in an even more undignified position on the floor. Now, wasn’t that a graceful entrance into college life! After breakfast was matriculation, registration and classification. No, I’m not a Freshie trying to astound you with the broadness of my mind by using such high sounding words, but I am telling you what I actually had to go through with. Now don’t get the idea that I was sick and had to take some kind of medicine, for the only thing that suffered from matricu lation was my purse, and from Regis tration and Classification were my long-stood-upon feet. I found that Chapel is a place where they make announcements and where yon stand up and sing—even if you do have a cold—and then sit down again— having first forgot to put the seat down. I'll assure you that that is quite a let-down after being uplifted so high by the music—and announcements. “Right after Chapel" is the time when, according to the announcements, several people will each meet all the Freshmen and new girls at different places near the auditorium. We have marvelous times trying to be every where at once. Going to church Is worlds of fun If you don’t mind losing all your Sun day morning sleep, or the fact that you have to go, and have to stand In the sun for' ages before the bus comes ami then run the risk of having your clothes torn into shreds in the mad rush, push and jam getting into the bus—In which you probably have to stand up. But you really can’t imagine how much fun we do have. In our rooms, we eat. play the victrola and eat again. The ‘‘Y" store is one of the ALUMNAE COLUMN Dear Alumnae; Tiij’: TwKi has come to bring you greetings from your Alma Mater. We are hoping it will come every week, in fact, or at least the twenty-two times that It Is published, to bring you news from Meredith, and to help you keep in touch with all that Is going on hei-e. In addition to the college events, we are most anxious to publish news from the Alumnae. For that, we shall need your cottperatlon. Won’t you feel, please, that this is your column, and won’t you help us by sending in a letter now and then and news items whenever you have them? Just think, you can write to all your classmates and college friends at one time simply by sending a leter to Tmc Twu:. We are fortunate this year in hav ing a representative ouTiik Twia staff. Hista Kltchln Is the student who is responsible for this column and I was appointed by the Alumnae Association just to cooperate with her. So if you will direct your suggestions or letters to either of us, they -will be given prompt attention. I am sure we feel very grateful to the college for sending Tijn Twio- this year to all the Alumnae, and I hope we may show our appreciation by making our column a vital part of the paper. Sincerely, Eli,i;x D. Biiii;wicit. places where one gets things to eat; the drug store is another. In fact, eating is one of the biggest sports here and some of the girls do it all the time. Feasts nro thingy one goes to and eats pickles, candy and junk until late at night and then has to get up early the next morning and let son give her a dose of “Mr. Epsom's Special." There are many things at Meredith that made deep impressions on me, but to my mind nothing quite sur passes the spirit of Meredith. Eacli girl here seems to feel it her duty to do anything she can for some one else, and if one is homesick, there is al ways someone interested enoiigh to try to divert one’s mind from her feel ings. And then again if one is sick there is always sympathy, son and Castor Oil Ijy the cup-fuls, so you see why it Is everyone likes Meredith. Those are my impressions, but If you asked me how I felt about it now, I would tell you that I am satisfied that I couldn’t have made a better choice and that already I love Mere dith as my “Alma Mater.” r must tell you about the Sophs. They are the wicked, cruel creatures in the school, who make some of the Freshman get up early in the morning and wake them up. They are the ones for whom we must oi)en doors, wind victrolas, divide our candy and, in general, wait upon. Can you imagine anything so disgusting! Now don't mention this to a soul, but really, we enjoy It as a joke because they think they’re bossing us but they’re not a bit. And anyway, we rather like them because they gave us a pajama party a few nights ago. Now don’t you think you’d like an American School like Meredith? I am. As ever, Evbi.v.v Mi'Cai.i, P,S. I forgot to mention that the Sophs made us do the entertaining at the party. Do they have people like the So]»hs in France?
