Last week all Sophomorea eagerly
searched through the student mail box
to set their “blackhand” which was
“An Odd Invitation” to the breakfast
which the -Seniors were giving them.
Friday, April 19, at 7:15 each Sopho
more was welcomed into the grove by
her big aister. It was a cheering scene
to behold—the sun shining through the
trees on the girla in their gaily colored
drcases.
The breakfast served consisted of
oranges, wienies, bacon, rolls, potato
chips, and coffee. Soon were'heard the
cheers and songs of both classes, each
toasting the other. As the Seniors
sang "These Bones Gonna Rise Again,"
each little sister was given a basket
of candied chicken bones. Each Sopho
more left fully convinced that their
big Bister class was certainly the best.

Ladies Night Dinner. This was another
one of the delightful evenings when
Meredith has been given the pleasure
to assist in the entertainment of visit
ors from all over the State. The college
dining liall was gaily decorated with
Rotary flags and banners, and Mr.
George Butler of Clinton, N. C., who
is president of the fifty-seventh dis
trict, presided. There were several in
formal entertainments given during
the course of tha dinner, and at the
close of it, the Rotariana and their
wives assembled in the college audi
torium where a feature program was
presented. The auditorium, too, was
gay with streamers and flags of many
colors.
The Rotary Club is one of the
largest organlzfltions of its kind in the
world. It is an international club and
is proud of having chapters in almost
every important city on the globe. In
the last few years, especially, the Ro-
tarians have greatly increased in num

Fourteenth Annual Meeting of the
Southern Intercollegiate Aasociaiion of
Student Government, which was held
at Sophie Newcombe College in New
Orleans, La.
There were delegates from all of the
important girls' colleges of the south
ern states. These girls had gathered
together for the purpose of discussing
student problems and how to remedy
them. Several eminent speakers gave
some very interesting talka on such
topics as "Tho Realms of Student
Government," "Executive Problems,"
and "Public Opinion.” These were fol
lowed by Open Forum in which any
girl might aak any question she chose.
Separate discussion groups were also
held for the discussion of minor
problems.
The Newcombe girla proved to be
most charming hostesses. When there
were no meetings, the guests were en
tertained with teas, banquets, and sight
seeing trips; Sophie Ncwcombe Col
lege and New Orleans furnished a de
lightful setting for the conference.

ANNUAL AFFAIR GIVEN
BY PRESIDENT AND WIFE
A dangerous precedent you estab
lish when you ask an alumna of twenty-
five years' standing to wite for Tiik
Tw’ici aince that much perspeotivo is
apt to foster loquacity. Such a state I
am prone to assume when I glance
back upon the happy days spent at
Meredith,
I had the opportunity of entering the
Baptist Female University the first
year her doors were opened for admis
sion, and many ara the interesting as
well as pleasing experiences I recall
in connection therewith. We were told
that first year that all the students,
teachers, janitors, maids and cooks
were all Baptists with tho exception of
myself and one other Methodist. The
Baptists were chaperoned in groups
to Sunday School and Church, whereas
my Methodist comrade and I were, al
lowed the rare privilege of attending
Church uuchaperoned. During tho
Last Friday evening at C:00 o’clock,
almost eighty smiling Seniors were
graciously met in the parlors by Dr.
and Mrs, Brewer. The time will sug
gest the occasion. It was the annual
Senior banquet given by our president
and hia wife. Others who contributed
to the pleasure of the evening were
Misses Ellen and Anne Eliza Brewer,
Mrs. Armstrong, and Miss Ida Holli
day. After a few minutes of pleasant
waiting, the group, led by its host and
hostess, marched two abreast through
the court to the dining hall.
Tho large table was beautifully
decorated with flowers and well laden
with food. The dainty place cards,
bearing words appropriate for each
Senior, will no doubt be preserved in
memory books for long years to come.
Soon the group was seated and the
conversation and eating began. The
(leiightful menu consisted of fruit
cot2ktail, chicken, potatoes, earrols,
muffins, salad, olives, tea and straw
berry short*cake.

The Second Mile Sunday School
Class of the First Baptist Church en
joyed an hour of fun Tuesday evening
April 9, in the form of a backward
party. Everything that was done dur
ing the evening waa done in the re
verse order from what It should be.
Each girl was met at the door with a
farewell bandslmke and each one,
catching the spirit of the party as
sured the hostess that she had had a
most pleasant evening. The entertain
ment of the evening was in the form
of various contests such as Mother
Goose rhymes said in reverse order,
walking backward with peanuts on
blade of a knife, and guessing titles
of various adveriisenients which wero
turned up-sido-down. The winner in
the peanut contest was Miss Bonnie
Lee Fox, and of the advertisement con
test Mias Eunice Rushing.
In a few minutes after our arrival
Misses M. Ferebee, Gladys Everett, and
Annie Maria Jackson with aprons
worn in the back passed paper doilies
and plates. Of course we all expected
refreshments such as ice cream or
salad and tea when, behold, Black
