A//CC in ’Wonderland, a play In three
acts, by Lewis Carroll, was presented
by the faculty of Meredith College
Saturday night, April 21. This play
was given four years ago by the
faculty, with such success that it has
became traditionary for the play to
be put on once every colleee gener-
ration.
The presentation on Saturday night
was indeed a “howling’' success. The
audience was a receptive one, to say
the least, if continuous laughing and
encoring constitute such an audience.
Rarely ever has such Interest in a
performance been portrayed by the
students, The entertainment was
given free of charge, they felt as If it
was being presented chiefly for tMir
enjoyment, and they came out prompt

April 23, much class spirit was In evi
dence Id and about the dining room.
It was the time for the Seniors to
have “Senior tables” and all the little
sister" Sophomores were anxious to
help make It a great occasion. Ac
cordingly at each of the Senior tables
on both the hostess chairs appeared a
big crepe paper bow, one of lavender
and yellow, the Senior colors, the
other of green and white, the Sopho
more colors. Miss Welch has pro
vided a vase of spring flowers for each
table.
Before the ringing of the last din
ner bell. Seniors and Sophomores who
were clad in white were at the en
trance of the dining room having a
gala time. The Sophomores sang,
"Seniors, Here's to You,” and the
Seniors responded with a song to their
“little sisters.” Then, yells were en
joyed, and each “little sister” escorted
her big sister to her seat at the table,
when they all sang the “Alma Mater.”
After the Seniors were seated, the
‘'little sisters’’ found their places In
other parts of the dining room.
It IK a cuBtorr: at Meredith that the
Senior.? have special tables the last
six weeks of school when they have
the privilege of coming to meals late,
coming in from “up town" late, and
keeping their lights on as long as they
wlah at night. Two seniors may go
riding in the afternoon with friends
without tt chaperone; two seniors with
frieniis may go to the show at night
unchapei-oned; and many other privil
eges hitherto iinenjoyed by them may
be e.xercised. Gee! Aren’t “we”
