THE TWIG
ALUMNAE
Roanoke, Virginia, Nov. B, 1927.
Miss Heeta Kitchiu,
Alumnae Editor, Tns Twio,
Meredltb College.
I want to write Just a not© ot ap
preciation for Thb Twig. It is of
special Interest to me each week be
cause, in Virginia, news of Meredith
Is scarce Indeed, and to meet another
Meredith girl is an unusual erent. I
envy you North Carolina girls for
being able to see old school friends and
to be In the Meredith atmosphere.
Corlnne Gordon Davis lived here for
a while, but she has moved to Rich-
nond and I miss being able to talk to
some one of Meredith days. Her hus
band was pastor of a Baptist Church
here.
Some day I hope to see the wonder
ful new Meredith that Thb Twro gives
glimpses of. It must be a beautiful
place. I was interested to read In
Leonlta Denmark’s letter in The Twio
last week that East Building Is now a
modern apartment, and am wondering
what destiny befell Main Building,
with its towers and ivy.
So again, thank you for Thb Twio.
It Is certainly enjoyed. Even the ads
are of Interest, since I see some of the
same ones 1 remember collecting for—
well, several years ago.
Best wishes for you all,
Ada Briogs Edo&ktok.
Meebdith of Days Gone By
In wandering nround the campus per
haps you’ve heard of “Old Meredith."
We are advocates of progress. We see
why New Meredith is far more ade
quate than old Meredith could ever be.
Even that doesn’t erase the place that
Old Meredith had in our heartsl
Have you been arounil there lately?
It’s changed so much, but in spite of
all that it Btlll looks somewhat na
tural. Main Building was transformed
into the Mansion Park Hotel. To a
mere passer-by the Mansion Park Is a
Hotel, nothing more. To us, those old
ivy covered walls seem' to still li'old
the spirit of Old Meredith. To one
who has viewed those walla with the
love of hlB Alma Mater, they will ever
be a memorial of days that used to be.
Perhaps the Interior has been
changed, but the ivy-clad walls of
Main Building still rcach In majestic
solemnity toward C!od, just as they
have done for ages past.
Falrcloth Hall is now the Y. W. C. A.
’ Raleigh three years ago had a Y. W.-
C. A. Organization but they had no
building. Falrcloth Hall was pur
chased to serve the needs of the Y. W.
C. A. Is It not fitting that a building
that has served Its day as a dormitory
for girls -should be remodeled so that
It might still meet the needs of a
number of girls? Could It serve any
better purpose.
East Building is now an apartment.
It has undergone changes, but from
the exterior it still has the same ap
pearance. Argo cottage Is still used
by Mrs. Ferrell. As for the other cot
tages, thoy arc still just houses. Since
the girls moved out they have become
homes for others. Myatt stands Just
as we loft it. Busbee Is unchanged.
Adams, Tcacher’s and North remain
Just as they were when we left the old
campus In December, 1926. As we pass
those old bulldtngs today we have a
peculiar feeling down around our
hearts. It was here we passed some of
the happiest hours we ever knew. All
the old Meredith girls can understand
our love for the old sight. We realize
that the time came when we bad to
move on to greater and better things.
We answered the call and moved into
our new home. Count us not foolish
because those days ot old hold bo many
ARMISTICE
(Martha Rdxh KiWDAt.)
“And freedom’s light shall never die;
We've learned the lesson that ye
taught
In Flanders fields."
As the eleventh of November comes
again to us, wo freshen our thoughts
concerning the supreme sacrifice which
those who lie in Plander’s field made
for us. Each little white cross there
marks the end of the life of a man be
loved by some other. They kept their
rendezvous with death; they fought
and conquered for the freedom of the
world and for the united love of their
fellow-men.
And now, are we as deeply grateful
as we were, when, with a burst of
patriotism, it was shouted that the
armistice was signed? Do we still
thrill to the sound of martial music
and to the stir of the roaring drums?
Does the thud of many feet In unison
make our hearts beat faster and our
eyes grow "brighter? It seems that we
are grateful and have forgotten the
tales of ancient wrongs. The present Is
upon us; we have no thought for the
past. Yet, the sight of khaki and the
red, white, and blue; the shrill call of
the trumpets j the marching, marching
men—may they remain with us,
"Lest we forget; lest we forget."

SPORTS
stop! LookI Listen! This 1b Hy
giene Month! Who hasn’t heard about
Hygiene Month? Maybe some one
hasn't. The month of November has
been set aside by the W, A, A. as Hy*
glene Mouth. During this month If
you follow certain rules and regula
tions you may earn points. If you al
ready belong to the Athletic Aasocfa-
tlon these points may count toward a
monogram. We haven't space to print
the regulations but they are published
on the Bulletin Board, Take them
down in your mind and try keeping
Hygiene Month with the other girls.
If you decide to keep the rules and
regulations don’t forget to assert your
will-power. This will be a pretty
good test as to how much grit you
have! Can you fight it through! Will
you break the rules or will you let
them break you. We leave the proposi
tion up to you, but we hope that many
of the girls will take advantage of thlS
opportunity to get some points.
As the time draws nearer for the
basketball contest we realize more
than over that a real contest Is Juat
ahead. In order to win this contest
the beat team will have to be almost
a superb team. We’re looking forward
to these games with almost as much
anxiety as we looked forward to
Stunt Night. Now that Stunt Night
has passed and the cup has been won
and lost, we look ahead to basketball.
If we could gaze into the crystal ball
and foretell the outcome, well, we
wouldn’t! Time will prove all things,
Through this athletic column we
wish to recognize the service Mlsa
Platt has rendered. We feel that
she Is due part credit for the Interest
we have on the campus. It seems
as If the girls have been moTe inter
ested in sports this year than they
have been before. Miss Platt has given
jnuch time to help us. We wish to
thank her most sincerely for what
she has done. We hope that our co
operation In the future may enable
her to accomplish greater things. Now
that we have a new gym we are better
equipped to carry out our athletic
program. Tlie age old saying Is still
true today, "All together! That’s the
way we pull!”
