If all the years were Soph years,
If all the days -wore Soph days.
The parties for the Sophs we’d have—
There’d be no parting of our ways.
The Meredith Sophs entertained the
Sophs of State and Wake Forest Satur
day night in Sophomore style. 'SI dis
played class spirit!
The exact reproduction of the water
tank with the ’31’s painted on it oc
cupied the center of the stage. Minia
ture ’31’s were everywhere and every
body wished every day was Soph day
and every night tbe same.
Programs on which black water
tanks bearing the numerals painted
in yellow and red were given each
guest. Ruth Phillips presided over
the program. The party traveled to
many European countries and beard
many famous artists, among whom
were Kitty Makepeace, Nell Baker, and
Elizabeth Ayscue. Then In America
the Painters gave a dance. After the
Journey lollypops in the shape of paint
brushes were given to each guest by
the painters. Punch and cakes were
served during the evening.
Five minute dates were the next
number on the program. Each boy was
supposed to ask a girl for a aate
which was to last five minutes but
sometime the couplets liked each other
so well that they did not pay any at
tention to the bell.
The time for departure canie too
quickly and the gueKts and hostesses
lingered as they realized that the party
was the last party that would be held
while they were Sophomores.
Monsieur Pierre de Lanux, director
of the Paris information office of the
League of Nations, noted writer of the
Life of Henry IV, Young France
Jr’cio America and numerous other
books, and a highly accomplished lec
turer, will speak In the Meredith Audi
torium on the evening of March 15, at
S:80 o’clock. Monsieur de Lanux is on

of French leaders, Is also famous as

executive, a linguist, and an inter
nationalist. The subject of bis lecture
on the 15th will be Missions of the

THIS PLAY IS FinST STEP IN

OF SFOKSOKING BETTER
PRODUCTION OF BETTER
PLAYS AT MEREDITH
"She Stoops to Conquer” by Oliver
Goldsmith will be presented April 18
by the “Little Theatre,” under the
direction of Mrs. Hardy M. Ray, who
is a graduate of North Western Uni
versity School of Dramatics. The
leading roles will be taken by Gwyn
Lenoir, as "Miss Hardcastle,” and by
Lois Hartness, as ‘'Marlow.” The re
mainder of the cast has not been defl-
Ditely decided on, though it is certain
that parts aro about equally divided
among the four classes.
The selection of this play by the
“Little Theatre” for Its major produc
tion of the year Is the first step in Its
program of sponsoring the better pro
duction of better plays at Meredith.
“She Stoops to Conquer” Is a classic
among comedies of manners, and be
cause of its sprightly dialogues, enter
taining characters, and amusing ac
cidents, as well as Its picture of the
life and manners of the times, the
“Little Theatre” decided to produce it,
on the recommendation of the play-
reading group, which has been making
a study of the representative plays of
various nationalities this year.
