Dear Meredith Girls: It’s ao nice to get The. Twt.o each week now. and to read about wliat you are doing and thinking and planning. There are quite a few of ns old aluninos living and working iiere lu Garner. In our high school, Velma Patterson o£ tUe class of ’25 holds the very Important position of Bclence and math teacher. You ought to hear Velma lecturing on tlie use of the Bunsen burner. Slie Is veiT proud of her new iaboi'atory equipment and Is quite a credit to Dr. Winston’s teach-; ing. Rutli Buffaioe, ’24, who is now Mrs. Peele Jolmson keeps liause in an at tractive new bungalow and teaches history 1» the high school too. Tiielma Goodwin, ’2G, la still acquit ting herself quite creditably in the field of public school music. She was so popular last year that we are shar ing her with the school at Auburn this year. Twice a week, Thoiina journeys over to teach the Auburn children to “do-re-me-sol." Grace Neathery, '26, has recently be come Mrs. Emersou Thompson. She is bocomlng quite an expert house keeper. We miss her at the school and especially on the basketball court this year. Portia Alderman, '25, or Blrs. Paul Uanks is the busy mother of a hand some little aon. You should see P. K. Jr. He is a dear baby. I am teaching Engllsii again and am enjoying my work. I have six clasBes each day and about 150 note books to clieck at Ii'equent intervals! We have enrolled ISO in our high sciiool this year, but several have dropped out. I am BO interested in our great cam paign. I hope the Baptists will go far over the top. I send liy love and best wishes to all of you. Ei-izahetii Pl'bkell, ‘26. When the groat round harvest m.ooTi Rises from Its eastern bed And joins the caravan of stara In their pathway overhead. When the air, ao cool, caressing Plants a kiss upon your brow And you fee! so gay and carefree And want to live fore'ev some how. When you realty feel like flying Iti the mystic realms of night To the laud of great enchantment With the moonbeams soft and bright. Why is it all ao thrilling And you love it more and more? What gives you auch a foellng That you’ve never had before? It’s November.

PRAY FOR BEN JOHNSON Ben Johnson, the famous English poet and playwright, died in 1637. He was buried In Westminister Ab bey, in a sitting posture, it is said, because only "18 inchea of square ground” had been obtained as hia last resting place. It chanced that a man named Jack Young was walking through tlie Abbey while the work men were putting the final tablet over the grave of Shakespeare’s old friend.

No matter where you turn in this old world you hear some one talking about "it." Since Eleanor Glyn first found “it” the whole ivorld has been talking out “it." We have "it” on our college campus. What is ”lt”? To be sure it’s the basketball contest that will soon begin! Well, let ’em come because we're all anxions to see who wina the laurela. Keep talking sporta —let's make them a part of our in terests. Thru this column we hope to keep the readers of The Twio in touch with athletics on the campus. If you think our Bports might be improved wliy not take your pen in hand and toll us all about it. We’re vitally interested in athletics and we want you to bo. Per haps you might suggest how we can create a spirit on our campus that will boast our class teams, You’ve no doubt heard it said that “two minds are better than one”—so don’t be afraid to express your opinion. We sponsor everything except football. If times change we may even have that gave the men 19 pence to cut “0 Rare Benn lohnson" on the stone. Chris-; some of these days, topiiere Morley believes that Young was a punster and that the inscription was really intended to read: “Orare Bonn lohnson,” which means “Pray for Gen Joiinson.” KITCHEN COSMETICS Almost every woman tries to make heraelC as attractive as possible; thia is not ncccasarily vanity, but in many cases liumllity. It is not necossary to patronize expensive beauty shops to gel beauty aids, and the woman who liaa not much money to speJid on creams and lotions will look 'ibout her own kitlicii and find there a num ber of safe and efficient beauty helps. Corn meal is a most excellent clean ser and softener of the akin, particu larly for the hands and the neck which may have got darkened from a dyed fur ncckpiece.

Dr. Bessie Lane was elected pres ident for the year, to succeed Mrs. W. 2. Betts who felt that she must ri^sigo. The following committee was named to arrange for the quarterly meetings: Miss Gladys Leonard, chairman, Miss Minnie Pavrlor, Mrs. Leroy Allen and Mrs. H. N. Simms. W'lth the year’s work ahead of us definitely planned, we feel that every old Meredith girl iu Raleigh should find each meeting not only interesting, but each reunion wUli one another in the name of, our Alma Mater will mean greater things for her and In creased Interest for eacli one of us.

AU In all, our first meeting of the fall was a delightful one—both from a business as well aa a aoclal standpoint. And they are ever thus to those who come. Let US have a unanimous club (in numbers and in sentiraent) this year! Lulie Makshall Wyatt. We believe In athletics! All life is a game. We must learu how to win and lose. In a game you win and lose with your fellowmou. That Is no dif ferent from lille. If we can learn to fight on in the face of difflcuUiea—if we can learn what real sportsmanship —then, athletics will mean some- thlug to us. Give all that you have to the success of your team. If the team wins or loses don’t be a knocker. Re member that some one has to lose. Fight to the fmlsh! Never give up! Nothing is won until the final Avhlstle is sounded! Remember that the beat iu life la that which Is hardest to at tain. It isn't always easy to smile when everything seems to be going wrong—but if you loso once you may yet have a chance to win. llemember that in the realm ol sports the "golden rule” may be used as well there as elsewhere. If you have learned to stake your every hope on one thing— then lose, and smile on just the aamo! You’ve learned much and wisdom gained that way will follow you no matter what your trials may be. Tho world races on, and somewhere you must learn your game. We hope that thru our sporta some girls may learn to play the game of life, We hope that thru these same sports they may learn to better aeiwe their fellowmen. I£ we attain this—how much higher could our goal be? Do your bit to help us on to our goal!
