RinOKCIllirST ENTERTAINS MEREDITH UNIONS The aim for the 1929 Student Retreat is a greater number, an enlarged pro gram, and a longer stay in “the land of the sky.” At the first retreat held at Rldgecreat, there were fifty in at tendance. At the second, there were one hundred, and at the same meeting, the third year, there were two hundred. Allowing for Ita growth, this year, in the same proportion, four hundred are expected to attend. The time has been extended from five days to eight. The program has been, enlarged. Every phase of student life and the problem of B. S. U. methods will be discussed In the iufoimal "within the circle" fashion. There will be the usual In spirational speakers at the noon and evening hours, Meet the Four Hundred at Ridge crest, June 28-July 5, 1923. ECHOES FROM RIDGECREST (Continued from page one) flcors. Eight representatives were sent to the Southern Baptist Student Con ference at Birmingham. Study courses wore sponsored, programs were given, and high ideals w'cre upheld. During the second year of Its career with Madaline Elliott as president, the horizon of the B. S. U. continued to broaden. The State Student Confer ence was held Jointly with Meredith and N. C. State Colleges. The Y-Store. operated by the Y. W. C. A., was turned over to the B. S. U., and the name was changed to the D-Hive. The B. S. TJ. had charge of the four-minute speak ers’ bureau, during the Centennial campaign. Fifteen delegates were sent to the Student Retreat at Ridgecrest. The year 1928-29 has been a very **8QCcesstul year in the history of the B. S. U. With Ruth Truesdell as prea- Ident, much has been accomplished. The acquisition of a full-time Student Secretary and an office for B. S. U. headquarters is an important mile stone in B. S. U. progress. Twenty-two representatives wore sent to the State Stadent Conference. Four study courses were flponsored. Five unit organissa- Uons, S. S., Y. W, A., B. Y. P. U., Home and Foreign Service Bands, have learned to function effectively and harmoniously. The aim of the D. S. U. is to make Christ preeminent on the campus; Its watchword is SERVICE; and its ulti mate goal, the hastening of the King dom of God upon the earth. {Continued from page one) one became acquainted or talked with old friends. The girls were in original and interesting costumes representing those of different countries. After a short time which was allowed for be coming acquainted, the most important officers of each of the B. Y. P. U.'s were presented. Mr. Cook, general president of the "Wake Forest B. Y. P. U.'s, made a short talk which was followed by a greeting by Elizabeth Apple, general president of the B. Y. P. U.’s of Mere dith. A few moments were then given in which to arrange for the six dates that the girls and boys were to have during the evening. Interesting enter tainment was provided and inter spersed throughout the periods for convorsatlon. The first number on the program was a duet by two of the Wako Forest boys. The singing was so'heartily applauded that they generously gave an encore. Diirlng the second date Mr. Kendricks of Wake Forest drew some very clever cartoons in charcoal, and explained them in a very humorous manner. Eight girls, dressed in white with bright green kerchiefs and aprons and white flowers in their hair entertained the audience with an Irish reel during the third date. - The fourth number on the program was a group ot mountain songa with accompaniment on a ukulele, given by one of the young men The fact that it was pouring rain did not lessen my excitement at rid ing through lovely mountain scenery for several hours on a day late In June of last year. I was going to Ridgecrest, that much talked of place. Ae the train left the last tunnel near the top of the mountain, my ardor grew slightly limp around the edges as I thought of the usual dreary arrival at a new place. However, as I tremb lingly (figuratively speaking, of course) stepped off the train, a very kind looking man started in my direc tion, leaving no room for doubt that he was interested in seeing to my wel fare. Soon we reached the hotel situated in a lovely place on the top of a mountain. And what a welcome I got! Everybody who was there seemed to be having a very exciting time, and they were anxious for the rest of us to "get in on the fun.” I never saw a group of people who looked happier, and I found out later that they were really happy; 1 know, for I felt tho same way about Ridge crest. The first thing I did after arriving in due style was to eat lunch. And that seemed a very auspicious begin ning, for every minute after that seemed full of something interesting 1o do. I shall not bore you with a cata log of the way I spent my sseven days there—but they were all packed full. The mornings were taken up with dis cussions of all Kinds of student prub- lems, and you’d be surprised at the pi’actical and interesting nature of these round-table meetings.

Refreshments, consisting of ice cream and cakes, were served during the last date. A boy, representing the president of tho United States, began to give an address when suddenly a masked man sprang forward and fired a pistol—B A N Gt In the confusion he made his escape, while the "preBldent” fell on a con venient davenport. After a few minutes he seemed to have recovered from his assassination, and then the Wake Forest boys gathered at the front ot the room to give some yells for the Meredith girls. These yells were an swered very enthusiastically before the boys began to sing "Good Night, Ladles." As the song ended, tlie guests began saying reluctant good byes. MEMBERS OF RETIRING B. S. U.
