Tlir, SliBLlMr.—TO Tin: HiDici Lors* ■•Really,■■ drawled one, wltli an ail- o£ bored indifference, "what all the rush's about I simply can’t see. Purely a matter of going lionie and having a good time for a while. Then school again, of course. Such Is life, you know ” The otlier stifled a yawn. "Really, my dear, it’s simply preposterous the way some of these people talk and run around. You’d think they were really going to do something. We might as well go to bed, don’t you think? I’m all packed. There’ll be none of that last miuute stuft for me.” Time passes. In the busiest section of a town a big orange bus drew up to the curb. With true Senior dignity two Seniors nonchalently descended. They greeted their families with mild enthusiasm. “So glad to be home.” "School becomes a trifle boring, don't you think?" "Oh, not so tired. The trip was as good as one could expect.” "Surely, let’s go right home. I should rather like to sleep a bit, don't you know.” Casually they stepped Into the wait ing cars and were whisked away. On the night before the holidays two Freshmen dashed wildly down the hall, flung open the door of their room, and rushed excitcdly lii. - Tlie room looked as if the proverbial cyclone had struck it. Clothes were dropped over chairs and beds, papers, ribbons and “things" were scattered over the floor. One piece of gay, red ribbon was caught in the taiisled hair of one of these Freshmen and hung rakishly overnier eye. Things were chaotic, excited, dis ordered—anything you wish. Neither girl heard the others wild jabbering, for each one was too busy raving over home, parties, boys, presents, people, everything and anything. Late, late in the night Mr. Newsome on one of his nocturnal rambles, was startled by exclamations in a sccond floor room, “Honey, I'm so excited I can’t even breathe, much less pack,” “My goodness! Thi.s time tomorrow. AVhoopee.” Affain time passes. As a great white bus drew up to the curb In a busy tnwn, bystanders saw an elderly lady frantlrally grab her hat. heard some one gasp, “Hey there. Wait a second, can’tcba?” Then, before their amazed eyes two girls hurled themselves out of the door. Each held a black hat liag. From one liag there dangled something decidedly resemblin'g a I'oniinlno garment of apparel. From the other l)ag there struggled forth one black silk stocking and two tan ones. The owners of those hat bags and ar- i — tiflus precipilated themselves into the | is mighty good to bo home!’’ “Lot’s arms uf waiting families. Almost in|};() home—and eat!” "Whew—ain’t it grand?’’ S(]—from liie sublime and dignified Sonloi—to the ridiculous (?) but en- ihuslastic Freshman! On Saturday evening, Decem ber 17, in tiie Auditorium, mem bers of the Junior Class will present a dramatic version of 7'he Birds' Christmas Cat'ol by Kate Douglas Wiggins. In thjs little play we see the daintiness and pallty of the tiny Invalid Carol of the Big House offset by the blustering charac ter of Mrs. Ruggles (who was a IMacGlll) and her seven little Ruggleses who live in the rear. These two extremes are brought together In a lovely story which Is full of the spirit of Christmas. MY FIRST CHRISTMAS (Told by a Puppy) Matilda Holleman I awoke one morning to find myself in a basket with the lid shut down se curely. It was stuffy: my body ach^ for want of stretching; a sensation of fear came over me as I listened to the odd noises around me. What could this all mean? Soon the lid of my basket was cauti ously opened. I heard a voice cry, "Oh, goody, goody, it's a puppy.’’ Then a little hand reached down, pick ed me up, and placed me on a table. Being by nature curious, the first thing I did was to gaze around me. The table on which I stood was In a big room and strange enough, in one corner stood a lovely tree, the like of which I had seen before outside, but never in a house. Five girls were watching me with eager eyes—why I could not say. After I had taken the milk which they very considerately offered me, I underwent the trying ordeal of having a red ribbon tied around my neck. I did not like this a bit and tried to in terfere by pushing it away with my paw. I was rebuked by a few excla mations, “you naughty puppy! What a rascal he Is!” The rest of the day I was spoiled and petted by my young mistresses. When night came. I was laid In a soft- eushionod basket, and told, “go right to sleep, you spoiled Christmas puppy.” I lay awake trying to puzzle out what they meant by calling me "a Christmas pnppy.” My conclusion was that prob ably there was a day when puppies could bo spoiled In every possible way, and that It was this day that was call ed Christmas, and the next thing I knew It was morning. their excitement they clutched the by- .stiiiui?rs. Almost—but not auite, “Oh, I'm just tickled purple.” “nirilled !n death, honey. Aren’t you?” "Sho It was the night Ijeforc Ciu'istmas hollda.vs. Two Seniors sat calmly In an orderly room and illscnssod the days to come. MEREDITH COLLEGE RALEIGH, N. C.
