STUDENT OPINION EDITORIALS While everybody is making New Year’s resolutions will you please give a thought to The Twig? We do not ask that you write articles; you’ve been ex ceedingly kind about that, and we appreciate it. However, if you’ll try to increase student ac tivity so that we’ll have suffi cient material for a snappy paper, iilled with up-to-date news, we’ll be greatly gratified. Perhaps our ways, our ideas, the personnel of our staff are by no means modern—we say per haps. However, we do try to hide our spirit of non-progres- siveness under a thin veneer of sophistication. At least we hope the camouflage has been sufficiently put on that the read ers of The Twig will account for the date on the last issue of our paper as a printer’s error, and not as an unlicensed and utterly unexpected betrayal of spirit and methods of the staff of the said paper. We also hope that the reader will desist from sending calendars, for really it has already come to our knowl- WELCOME, ATHLETICS! There has occurred recently an event which we consider should appear in enormous red letters on any Meredith College calendar. That is the first field hockey game held at Meredith. We consider this marks the be ginning of a new era at Mere dith—one in which the value and importance of athletics are recognized. The benefits of that game are not included only in the physical, but there was a perceptible and praiseworthy influence in class and school spirit. We need more enthusi asm, more pep—more real love and appreciation of the odd or even spirit. Greater and more enthusiastic class spirit we be lieve will lead to greater and finer school spirit. Nothing can help Meredith more than a school spirit that has in it an ap preciation of the fine point'® of the school, a love of the alma mater—what it has been in the past and will be in the days to come. We maintain that in the recognition of athletics at Mere dith we are making great head way towards attaining such n spirit on our campus. way off and no known way to wade through the facts. Some of us have not settled down from the excitement of the holidays yet, and this fact is rather disturbing to those heroic souls who have made brave and determined resolutions. It would be a rather good thing if we could get a bit excited about exams and start the “cramming” now, instead of waiting until the last minute. It would also help those who have already made good resolutions keep them, if the resolutions were more general or those not trying to study would be considerate and not disturb the serious stu dents. (Yes, there really are some left, or would-be students.) It behooves us all to begin our reviewing now, because during exam week the strain is rather great. Let’s resolve to keep our resolutions. E.

This is done for several reasons. It is a custom. It is a matter of courtesy. Then if one grants this courtesy to boarding stu dents in their rooms it is just as much due to the town students, although they do not have indi vidual rooms in dormitories. The town students have a gen eral room in which they stay when not in class. When a town student enters, of course she does not knock. But when an outsider comes the town stu dents feel that she should knock. For instance, suppose someone is lying down (the town students are always sleepy, as well as the boarding student), is it not fair that she should be given warn ing before a visitor enters? A girl in her room would think so; io do some of the town students. It is no trouble. May not we be [granted this privilege? Reports From Dolls At the First Baptist Sunday School on January 5 several girls made reports of their expe riences in delivering the Christ mas dolls which they had dressed several days before the holidays. Judging from the talks made both the givers and those who received the gifts were greatly benefited. Some of the dolls were distributed among needy families and others were taken to the hospitals. Russell Owens, and Dr. George Truitt were on the programs. Mr. William Hall i-re^ton was in charge of the music. The conference was most delight fully entertained several times by the Bellvue Quartet from Mississippi. A special feature of the conference was a number of group conferences, led by southern experts. Probably one of the most interesting was one which discussed “The Steward ship of Life.” Another interesting feature, Pearle and Ruth report, was the first South-wide B.Y.P.U. Inter mediate Sword Drill, which was directed by Mrs. J. E. Lambkin. Fifteen Southern States chose representatives to contest. Dixie Sorrell, of Cary, was the Inter mediate representative from North Carolina. Mrs. Lambkin announced the winner as fol lows: Alabama, first; Oklahoma, second, and Tennessee, third. Another enjoyable affair which our representatives at tended was a North Carolina luncheon at a Memphis hotel on Thursday. Student Night Participation Quite a number of Meredith girls took part in the local stu dent night programs. The proj ect was tried all over the South, with surprising success. RESOLUTIONS AND REVOLUTIONS Resolutions! — or perhaps it might be Revolutions, especially ^ with exams looming so low on I the horizon to which we poor students have to look forward. Some of us at least have gone that far. “A hint to the wise is sufficient” seems to be the theory that the faculty is testing. The ,dire hints of future needs for certain bits of information make one quickly resolve again to learn that particular subject “backwards and forwards.” But what can one do in a short hour I when there are so many things ' to learn and no definite starting point? It is as though one were ;shipw’recked in the middle of a sea, and did not know which iway to start toward shore. We ; are certainly lost in a sea of ! facts with “terra firma” a long Mary Ayscue at Morning Watch Mary Ayscue,’27, was a visitor at Meredith over Sunday, Janu ary 5. She had charge of the morning watch service Monday. B. Y. P. U. Field Worker Talks On “What Is Your Name?” Miss Ayscue, who is a State B.Y.P.U. field worker, talked on| “What Is Your Name?” Avery| unique and helpful discussion of' the subject of names was made. I Ancient names, Biblical names, i Pilgrim’s Progress names, and modern names were touched! upon. A challenge was made' I for girls to change their names! I in this new year if they have: , been spotted in the past year. ■ ; Miss Ayscue urged her listeners I to make their lives so pure that | ;they might be called the names! which their character best rep-1 resented. I Annual Staff Gives Delightful Banquet (Continued from paee one) added much to the festive air of the scene. Those of the Oak Leaves staff present, with their guests, were: Miss Mabel Bagby, Mr. Harvey Carroll; Miss Margaret Trot- man, Mr. “Tex” Quillen; Miss Ruby Johnson, Mr. Irwin Kitchin; Miss Virginia Craw ford, Mr. Thurman Kitchin; Miss Evelyn McCall, Mr. “Grip” Roberts; Miss Kitty Makepeace, Mr. Fred Byerly, and the chap erons, Dr. Julia Harris, faculty adviser, and Miss Doris Tillery. At the close of the evening the members of the Oak Leaves staff expressed their desire to make the banquet an annual event. Enthusiastic Athletic Program In Chapel (Continued from pase one) Freshmen. In the full spirit of the odds they sang: Rah! The odds are Iti It! Rah! Watch iis begin it! Hall forever to the odds! Rah! We’ve got the spirit! Rah! We'll make you hear it! Hail forever to tiie odds! Watch us step! We’re always full ot pep. Watch the fun! We’re going to make things hum. Rah! The odds are in it! Rah! Watch us begin it! Hail forever to the odds! Rah! This song was followed by a yell for Odd Spirit— ‘‘Heavens above! Heavens above! Bones and devils and gloves— Odd Spirit! Odd Spirit! Odd Spirit!” Dr. Brewer, amid much ap plause, presented the two teams which played Saturday after noon. Immediately after the presen tation of the teams the Sopho mores sang to the teams pre sented. The song was as fol lows : The Sophomore team has gone out on the field; The Freshman team will surely have to yield, And for the Senior team we’ll yell a yell. And tor the Sophomore team we’ll yell a yell. We’ll fight, fight, fight, for every goal And we’ll put the Junlor-Freshmen in a hole, in a hole! The program was concluded by a yell from each class for its team. w » Fine Jewelry Novelties Leather Goods Prices Are Reduced on Some Gift Lines ^JCWILCIIS SlWVtRSMITHf 04A4MHQ (IPCflTS %m j.
