With those bugnboos atiiriiig us ill the face, we become very iiitorestod in studying. Efficiency, hibor saving devices, and standardization are aims of molern industry. If wo, as college students, would try to find the most efficient and rapid method of study ing \VQ would accomplish more and really enjoy our work. We should make up our minds to play while we pluy and work when we work. We should make up our minds to study three hours; then have a good time for three hours. Girls! Let’s try to apply the principles of modern industry to our studying; namely efficiency and I'apidity and we will find that we will reallj' get the most enjoyment, satisfaction, and real worth from onr college life. ’I’hu now .'taft' greets you! We arc giting U} try to make our paper the b‘st ])ap.*r in the world. With the help and i-uopcratiun of our fine [ritndcnr Uudy and Faculty there is no reason why we should Jioc do so. On the other hand, the Staff of last ycni' has left us a high standard to uphold. 'J’he nt.'w ideas, the life and splendid spirit which the old Start' lias given .Meredith girls tlii'ougli Thk Twiij, ha.s been worthy nt' the highest praise. It is with a tliriughtfnl ami eareful attitude thiit we iippruaeh the work that they have left us. Their record is Jin i'nviable one. Huw thrilling it jnust lie lo be a Senior!

We can sincei'ely say we had a good tinii’, and that the inspiration for oui' work was real and lasting. JJavi»ison and (Queens will liave to work hard lo keep uji the record l)uke has made. MOTHER’S DAY Daviio Bki.i.k Eatox It seems more thaa appropriate that one day in each year should be set aside to honor tlie most noble person on earth—Moriiicti. Our vocabiiiary is inadeciuate to describe mother. Sunday, May 13th, is Motlier’s Day. It is our earnest desire that every girl in Meredith College shall i>ause and remember “Mother.” You have heard older people say. “Your mother is the best friend you’ll ever have.” Will you pause long enough to consider what “Mother” means to you? Does it mean some one to whom you look for guid ance aiul help? Mother is that un selfish soul that sacrifices everything for her loved ones. When the world turns you down. Mother still believes in you. “Mother” is the richest heritage of the rich and poor alike. A mother may be a fiueon or a peasant. Mother love is universal. There is no human affection that can compare with it. And yet—we seem to take all that inothor gives and offer so little in re turn. On Mother's Day we’ll wear a rose—white, if she has gone beyond, and red if sbe still lives. Will we go any further than tliat? Will you not hearken to these words of George Grifnth? "If you have a gray-haired mother In the old home far away. Sit you down and write the letter You put off from day to day. Dnii't wait until her weary stei)s Roach Heaven’s pearly gate. But show her that you think of her Before It is too late. If you have a tender ntessage, Or a loving word lo say. Don’t wait till you forget It, But whisper It today. Who knows what bitter memories May haunt you if you wait? So make your loved one happy Before It is too late. The tender word unspoken, The letters never sent, The long forgotten messages, The wealth of Iovq unspent; For these some hearts are breaking. For these some loved ones wait; Show them that you care for them Before it is too late." In a little town, perhaps far away, someone toils day by day that you may have all you need. On this Mother’s Day if you can't sent her candy or flowers. Uncle Same will be glad to carry your message of love. Just a love note from you will cheer her so. Stop in the bustle of things and tell her that you love her! She’s always ready to help you. She sacrifices for you every day—don't neglect her. The whole world will pay her homage Sunday—will you forget? And even though Sunday is Mother’s Day, let’s not forget her until Mother’s day comes next year! Why shouldn't every day be Mother’s Day? Mother—to you as students we pledge our all to do and be all we can for your sake. You've stood by us through the years! You’ve loved us! You've laughed with us, and cried with us. You’ve tried to help us bear our burdens. There's no angel sweeter than you. And on this Mother’s Day we pledge our all to try to be a little kinder, a little more considerate of, and a little sweeter to the dearest woman in' all the world—to you, MOTIIKK. “If I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother o’ mine, 0 mother o’ mine! I know whose love, would follow me still, Mother o' mine, 0 mother o' mine! If I were drowned in the deepest sea. Mother o’ mine, 0 mother o’ mine! I know whose tears would come down to me. Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! If 1 were daauied of body and soul. Mother o' mine, 0 mother o’ mine! I know whose prayers would make me whole. Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!” THE FLOUKB OF FKIEM)S1II1» (Dedicated to the Class of '28) Matilda Hollbmax The tiny rose stoops and drinks ' Of the fresh crystal dew each morn, Its plnk-shell head is feat From the soon, from the soli it’s born. I met and learned to love you This year so very, very soon. Our friendship was once a bud Now it has burst into full bloom. MEREDITH COLLEGE RALEIGH, N. C.

Its roots delve deep, into these As was a true friend's own duty. Though many the years may glide And lead each one ou and on. Till old age spreads a mist ’round May we always sing Friendship’s song! Miss Tillery (explaining problem to class): Now watch the board and I will run through It again. He: I’m going to buy myself a harem. It: What do you mean? You can't buy a harem, can you? He: Sure I was down at a gas station that said “Eight gals for a Dollar.” A proposal is like a ring at the end of a line.
