OUR LAST EDITION
The W. C. Colleginte Press As
sociation was organized in the inter
est of the publications of the colleges
of IT. 0. Its purpose is to promote
better journalism, and in order to do
so the members of the association
must be brought together in order
to talk over their problems.
Those of us who have attended
the meetings of the Press Associa
tion feel that we have really gained
and grown from them. "When we
go to a Press Association gathering,
we usually meet, people who are
woi-th knowing. Through them we
find out what others think about
ccrtain aspects of journalistic work.
It helps a lot to know that you are
not the only one who is struggling
with various problems.

ON OUR CAMPUS
Anne Simms
Since it is the custom for the new
staff to go into office for tlic last six
weeks of school, this is, perhaps, the
last issue of The Twig our staff
will publish.
Tlie present staff has enjoyed its
journalistic career. Some of the
finest girls in school are on our staff
and they have worked together in a
wonderful way. Cooperation lias
been the keynote of onr labors to
gether. Whenever a niombfr of The
Twig Staff was aski'd to .acrvc, she
did, willingly, eflii'icnlly, and
splendidly.
"We feel tluit we cannot do better
than offer you a B. S. U. Edition as
our final contribution. Tlirough the
efforts of Miss Madaline Elliott and
Ruth Truosdell, as well as otliers of
the staff, we hope we are giving you
an interesting ))iiper, which is truly
representative of Meredith.
The new start' is very fortunaJe in
being composed of an uiinsually
talented and eaf)able group of girls.
Wc are expecting hig things from
them next year and we know that
they are going to do the best “Tu'lfi-
ginfj" Avhieh has ever been done. We
wish them the best luek and success!
On our campus is a union
That is full of life and fun,
Always ready, ever willing
When there's work that must be done.
Ever cheerful are its leaders,
Seekers of the sacred guest,
Watching, hoping, working, praying,
Striving towards that which is best.
Organized, they work together
Bound by ties of holy love.
Tithers of their hours, they find
Time to think of things above.
Such a union gives us courage,
Give us lots of pleasure too.
Surely, we are very happy
To have such a B. S. U.

“She Stoops to Conquer," by Oli
ver Goldsmith will be presented Sat
urday night at 8:30 o’clock, April
13 by the "Little Theatre” of Mere
dith College. Miss Lois Hartness, of
Raleigh, will take the leading man’s
role as "Charles Marlow" and Miss
Gwyn Lenoir, of Lenoir will take the
leading woman’s role as “Miss Hard-
castle.”
This classic comedy of manners
gives an accurate picture of the life
oC the eighteenth century, and its
beautiful costumes add much to its
attractiveness. The plot is con
cerned with a young man who is so
afraid of ladies that he dares not
even look at the lady whom his father
has selected for his wife, when they
first meet, yet he is gay and bold
enough with the barmaids. How the
girl meets the situation and solves it,
by stooping to contiuer his shyness and
his aifectlons as well, makes an enter
taining and clever plot, which is en
hanced by the sparkling dialogue.
This is the second large production
of the "Little Theatre." which was
organized last year at Meredith. A
bill of three one-act plays was pre
sented last Spring. The club is divid
ed into three groups: play, reading,
staging, costuming, and the mem
bers of these groups select, stage and
costume the plays which the "Little
Theatre" produces.
