Subscription Price $2.50 EDITORIALS IF WE WOULD LIVE “PEACE ABLY WITH ALL MEN” A speaker said that Armistice Day should be a day of reflection, of thought. It seems to me, how ever, that every day should be one of thinking. Thinking is ex clusively the art of man; it is the one thing which differentiates him from lower forms of nature; therefore, he should constantly and persistently use this divine power which he possesses. Though all of us may, perhaps, not be profound thinkers, we may at least reflect to the extent that we shall not infringe upon any rights of others. There has been a flood of ar ticles from students on such top ics as "Chapel Manners,” “Def erence to Others,” and manners in general. It seems to me that these protests, although they have been good in so far as they have reached, have failed to get at the heart of the matter. They have considered manners as a sort of surface gloss, a certain mode of doing things, which must be acquired if we would not be actually distasteful to others. Courtesy, or manners, is by no means a thing of surface, but a certain attitude of mind. It comes out of a reflection upon man’s place in the social order, and his responsibility for sub ordinating his own tendencies and desires for the good of the whole order. Only that man who sees beyond the outward conven tions to the spirit of the laws may be said to be truly courte ous, for his acts are then not mere exercises of form, but ai*e spontaneous outgrowths of a proper attitude of mind. RESPECTING SENIORS There has been much said con cerning the privileges of upper classmen, but it seems that there are a few who have to be re minded continually of certain matters which they seem to never get drilled into their heads, or merely reflect the train ing (or lack of it) of earlier days by disregarding the feelings of those about them. Now, seniors like to be recog nized as seniors. We have not spent four years here unmindful of the fact that each year we were to gain more and more re spect. We do not feel that we are any better than any under classman, but we do have cer tain rights and we would greatly appreciate • it if they were re spected. That matter to which I refer is the right of seniors as hostess at the table. There are two seats at each table which are to be occupied by the senior host esses, and when one walks in and finds that they have been taken by members of the other classes, whether it be Sunday or any other day, and she has to take her place at the opposite side, she naturally feels that she is being placed in the position of the one who has taken her place, j Perhaps Hostess Number One is I away, and Hostess Number Two j invites a guest to take her place, j which she has a perfect right to ; do. She arrives to find both places taken, and an embarrass- ! ing moment ensues. ! In this thought I express not ' merely my own sentiment, but ' the sentiments of the entire sen- , ior class, and hope that it will be a thought for the ones who may I need it to consider.—M. R. of each year’s high school grad uating classes? Cannot we as daughters uphold the standards set by our mothers ? If not, then there is something wrong with us. The college does not make the girl—the girl makes the col lege. If we cannot stand up and say that Meredith is the dearest and best college in the land, then we are telling the world that we do not believe ourselves to be of the choice girls of our country. Again, one can so reflect the morals and customs of her col lege until those about will ask, “From what college does she come?” If we strive to repre sent Meredith in its true self we can speak a greater word than if we campaigned by word of mouth until our lives were spent at the task. Let us, as daughters of Meredith, help to wave the Meredith banner higher and higher until it becomes a joy to every alumna, when Meredith is mentioned, to say, “That is my Alma Mater.”—R. R. A LINE A DAY “What are all those posters and books displayed in the li brary for?” “Why, hadn’t you heard? The week of November 18-25 is our Reading Week, and the school is trying to boost the idea of Read ing with a Purpose.” “What are they going to do to further this spirit, and who’s going to do it?” “It’s sponsored by the Eng lish department, and there will be a number of interesting pro grams; that is, I heard one of the stackers talking about it, and we certainly have something to look forward to. First of all, she said there would be a speaker from State College to talk to us in chapel on Tuesday morning, and on Thursday morning a rep resentative from the State Li brary Commission is going to tell us something about that organi zation.” “But don’t we do anything ourselves?” “Oh, yes. I remember espe cially that she said student speakers from each class would express some ideas from our viewpoint. If I’m not mistaken, that will take place on Wednes day morning. From the senior class, Cora Fender is going to talk about ‘The Romance of \ - V New HATS Charming New Metallic Hats Modestly Priced from $g.00 to $g.50 ELLISBERG'S 120 Fayottevillo Sti’eet STUDENT OPINION BOOSTING ALMA MATER Meredith College is about to come in contact with thousands of people who have never heard of it, except perhaps in a passing remark. Already people who for some time have wanted to know more about Meredith have tuned in on their radios and have re ceived the messages sent in the form of songs and music. By I writing to our friends, inviting them to listen to our perform ances, either over the radio or in person if possible, are ways of showing people what our college means to us. But there is an other even greater way of tell ing the world what Meredith is. This is by speaking a good word yourself. Girls in our home towns who are finishing high school this year are practically all planning to enter college next fall. The place to which they go depends largely upon what the college girls whom they know and who are their ideals tell about the college of their choice.

All of the classes are going to do some writing and reporting on this special reading, and the English Club is going to have a program centered around the idea. This should help instill the reading habit and desire, don’t you think so?” “By the way, it would be a good time to start reading for honors, too, wouldn’t it?” “Well, Mabel, I’ll see you to night; I think I’ll go to the li brary now.” Wake Forest Boys Are Hosts at Society Day (Continued from paee one) Rachel Marshburn, Madeline May, Vida Millei’, Helen Middle ton, Geneva Morton, Montrose Mull, Elva Parkinson, Velma Preslar, Grace Pruitt, Euzelia Smart, Eliza Turner, Frances Watkins, Louise Whims, Mae Williams, Nelda Wilson, Kath leen Young, Beulah Allen, and Mildred Goodwin.
