by the Astrotektdn Literary Society
Saturday night, December 8, promises
to be one of the best amateur per
formances ever given at Meredith Col

same “Rhody” is still herself as the
star player, Peggy, and her ardent
lover Is none other than Lois Hartness.
Lois is indeed a sheik as we shall see
her.
Those who saw Lily Varser in the
stunt will come back to see her at her
best in this performance. Miriam
Daughtry has many capabilities, some
of which have never been realized
until they are displayed through the
action of her part, And did you know
that Margaret Trotman has lately been
connected with the “Society of the
Intellectuals?” Come and find out
just how all of this has been arranged.
After seeing Blanche Obenshain,
broken-hearted lovers, and all who are
in trouble of any kind will find great
comfort in pouring out their sorrows

good advice. But talking of “snoot-

“Land ho!’’ was the cry that went
up from Columbus and his companions
when they first sighted the new world.
Those were days of great adventure
and discovery. The spirit of explora
tion seemed to pervade the minds of
all the people. And, if you’ll glance
at our bulletin boards some 'time,
you'll see that that same spirit still
prevails. Why, there are letters com

bereaved in the loss of their for
mer classmate and friend, Con

Basket Ball Season
Opens December 11
JUNIORS A^D FRESHMEN
FIRST TEAMS TO CLASH
CUP TO RE AWARDED ItEFORE
CHRISTMAS
The Basketball season is in full
swing. The four teams have been prac
ticing for several weeks and are now
getting the finishing touches for the
final try-outs. The games are to be
played next week. The first one is to
be between the Juniors and Freshmen
Tuesday, December 11, at 4:30. The
other games will follow during the
week. The winner of the cup will be
decided before Christmas.
The game Tuesday—Juniors vs.
Freshmen—is a most important one.
It promises to be a good game and a
close one. Of course the teams haven’t
been picked, but the officials are doing
their best to pick out the right ones
in the remaining practices.
The captain of the Junior team is
Margaret Peele, the manager, Blanche
Obenchain. Blanche Is a new member
of the team, but a promising one. She
Is one of the best forwards. Watch her
shoot goals! “Lib” Apple, “Dot’’ Row
land, Ruth Presler, Margaret Craig,
and Marion Harris are A-1 forwards.
They can roll them in! As guards, the
Juniors have Mary Morgan, “Lib”
James-, Glennie Paul, Jessie Raeford,
Margaret Peele and Victoria Boney.
All of these played last year except
Jessie, so it is not necessary to tell
you of their ability. You remember
their past record. They still uphold it
with improvement, Jessie is a grand
guard.
Watch the Freshmen team! The
captain is “Lib” Thornton; the
manager, Lottie Belle ;Myers. You
should see Lottie Belle, “Lib,” and
"Joe” Higdon shoot goals. Team work!
If, you’ve never seen it, you’ll see it
when you see the Freshmen play—
“Joe” Higdon is a real athlete. "Dot”
Lindsey, as guard, is as quick as
lightning. Roxie Collie, Mabel Gor
don, Velma Webb, Ila Person and
Ganelle Hinton are all excellent
