FJiLLOW.ALUJINAE
Among the many things I have to be
thaakful for I mention the distinctive
privilege of being a “Meredith girl”,
everywhere and alwty; the associa
tion with other girls; and the mem
ory of teachers whose Influence lias
helped through the years. I am grate*
ful for the opportunity of securing
pledges in the campaign, thus helping
"Alma Mater” a bit.
Sincerely,
Nellie Paoe, ’17.
'Tis glad I am for the grass that’s
sown.
For the criketa that sing,
And the pines that moan at Meredith.
I'm thankful too, for the flowers we've
grown
For the hills of red clay—
Bi-lght orange chrome at Meredith.
1 love most of all the clouds, wind
blown
That burn at suu-down,
Then cool to blue tone
At Meredith.
Mary Tilleby, 1922.
The Thaiiksglviug season and Mere
dith—How natural it se^ms to think
of tho tAvo at the same instantl My
thoughts run on like this: Dear old
Meredith! She has lifted my horizon,
enlarged my world, cnrichcd my life.
Where would I have been but for hor?
And she has wrought her work in me
by means of the teachers who directed
my thinking and the subjects to which
they called my attention. Every day
I recall some glimpse of a fine person
ality or some thought full of life slg-
uiflcanca which I gained at Meredith,
and without which I would be Im
measurably poorer. The chapel ser
vices come vividly to mind: Dr. Vann's
talks—hla beautiful rhetoric and stimu
lating thought and aoul-cleansing
humor and spiritual power. I especial
ly recall his series of tallcs on Jacob,
and on Joseph, and on Isaac—"The
harmless kind of zero”! And then
there was Mr. Wade Brown with his
wonderful choir. I shall never forget
how they sang JemsaUm the Golden
and A Mighiv Fortress Is Ow God, and
others of tho great old hymns, which
Mr. Brown reminded us so often are
great because they are great poetry
set to great music.
And how my thouglits concerning
God and Man were enlarged by Dr.
Freeman’s lectures on Bible and Phsy-
chology, and what worlds were opened
to mo when Mr. Boomher taught me to
sec things through the microscope and
to turn convert solid aubstancoa into
gasesl
And there was Miss Young—I miss
today the Christmas cards with the
scripture (luotatlons in French or Ger*
man which she sent every year to all
of her girls. And I often think of her,
worn and overworked as she was, get
ting up before sunrlso to lead the
Easter service for the Y. W. C. A.
Time fails me to apeak of Miss Ida's
message, and of Dr. Carroll's and Son's
aud Miss Paechal'B and Miss Smith's—
but each of these, and many others,
have impressed themselves indelibly,
and for good, on my character. Yes,
Meredith teachers aud their teachings
have imme^surably enlarged and en
riched my life, and for them, and a
thousand other blessings bestowed upon
me by my Alma Mater, I am pro
foundly grateful.

COMPLAiKi'S TO PHOTOGUAPIIERS
It must be a hard lot that poor photo-
gvaphera have to bear when the pic
tures they make Just don’t suit their
customers. How many have you heard
say, “I would like my picture if it
were not so much like me.” The com
plaints are various and sundry and
very few really seemed pleased with
tlieir own likenesses. In IMnklng of
the trouble we have bad in getting
pictures that we liked, I saw the fol
lowing poem which seemed to fit In
with the situation very well. It Is
taken from the Virginia Interment
Cauldron and is entitled Oojii2ilaint to
Photographers.
Did you have your picture ”took”
On picture-taking day.
When all the lassies round about
W^ere fixed in Juat their way?
Then each girl spent from six to eight
Curling and powdering, too,
While rouges, perfumes, coa-me-tics
Obeyed the same old rule.
But, lo—when all the pictures come
Aud each met face to face,
You failed to recognize yourself.
And hid them all in haste.
Your mouth radioed, while your lips
broadcast—
Aud your hair sent an S. 0. S.
While the flush of youth made a fade
away
And was missing, more or loss,
All pluckod eyebrows took revenge
And not upou tho “bridge,”
While lashes swept the shadows out
From imderneath the llcls.
The Grecian pug nose! highest art—
The sculptor reached his goall
And eyes looked In, when they should
look out
From the windows of the soul.
Don't worry, girls, Just be content,
For while there's life, there's hope;
And every photo you will take
Won’t surely he a Joke.
