No Seci’etavy— not oven one so capable as Mae Grim mer—can do everything, nor must we load the whole Association on her slim shoulders.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS AT MEREDITH "What a bleak looking place! I’d never stay here! Why did I ever come?” Those, as you may liave imagined, were the first words that escaped my lips ou my arrival at Meredith. It did look bleak, The day—cold, dis mal, rainy—was in itself enough 1o make any girl want to turn back home. But, kuowng that this thing had to be gone through, I resolutely marched In the building, Tiien fol lowed what seemed to me hours and hours of waiting. During this time I moved my hand baggage to my room. As I stood there gazing at the bareness of unmade beds, uncarpeted floors, and j uncurtained windows, shlveringly I thought of the long days and nights before me. My mother’s voice re minded me that such thoughts were best to be loft for the future; so I shook them off. I doubt If tfiere is a girl who can truthfully say that her first night is very cheerful. Then is when she thinks of her bright room, and most ol: all, her dear mother, who probably tucks her in at night, grown up though she may be. I, of course, tried to be diC- ferent and not think of home, but try as I might, that was whore ray thoughts would alway.s end. Finally I dropped off to sleep. Meetings, meetings and more meet ings are all I cau remember, of my sccond day at Meredith. Everything was in a juml>le of confusion for me. 1 fell as if I 'were lost In a wilderness.. AL the end of the day, topped off by'’ u pajama party, I felt only slightly} Ijetter. The day when the old girls arrive! I If ever a freshman feels her inslgnifl- cunce, it is then. There is that blue, left out feeling—what freshman has not felt it when shrieks of “Mary, when did you—" “Susy, I didn’t know—" "—what have you—" “Where have you” are waftet) through her window by a gentle zephyr. Slie resolves then to stick it out so that she also can shriek and howl on old girls' day. The most important thing about the first day at oollcgc is probably the ar rival of the trunk. Mine failed to ar rive at the prescribed time. Trips, trips, and yet more trips proved fruit less. I could not flud my trunk. As a consequence, I became very dejected. The worst thing was having to borrow clothes. I had brought a few things and therefore was not completely thread bare. During this particular time of stress 1 was ready to leave Meredith at any available moment. I sent a letter to my mother stating that if my trunk did not come the next day she could come after me. My trunk ar rived, however, and everything was all right. The soph party was an Important event. Every freshman’s mind was iilled with speculation as to exactly iohat the aoplia were going to do to her. Many went to that party with fear and trembling, but all of them come out much enlightened, and Avith a quite different opinion. 1 shall have to admit I was somewhat predjudlced against the sophs, but tbat wall has been completely removed. In fact my whole impression has been entirely revised. Friendship and a spirit of fraternity are most vital elements in school life. The girls here at Meredith have shown this spirit to me, and, it they only knew, have holpod me through many a lonely day when I ^^•aa ready to leave It all. My deepest impression of this school Is one of love, sincerity, and loyalty on the part of the girls, helpfulness and sympathy ou the part of the faculty, and friendship on the part of everyone. 5—..
