Correction In last week’s special alumnse issue of The Twig, the obituary, Eva Dean Young, through a ty pographical error, was signed, May Carter Blackstock, ’18, in stead of Mary Jane Carroll, ’20. The latter, a classmate of Eva's, wrote the article. SCHOOL SPiRIT Mrs. Burton Ray (Sallie Camp, ’13), who was visiting relatives in town, called at the College Saturday, February 16. Flora Canaday, ex-’21, spent the week-end of February 15 with Miss Eva Woodall, assist ant librarian of Meredith Col lege. Among the callers Sunday, last, were Sallie Williams, ’28, of Wingate, and Mrs. W. H. Smith (Ruth Shaw Britton, ’25), of Cary. Helen Phelps, ex-’31, and her mother were guests of their sis ter and daughter, Norma' Lee Phelps, a student, on Sunday, February 23. Miss Mae Grimmer, Alumnse Secretary, was present at the tea honoring high school seniors, given by the Pitt County Chap ter of Meredith Alumnae, on Sat urday, February 22, at the home of Miss Eugenia Thomas, in Greenville, N. C. Nina Elliot, high school sen ior, daughter of Mrs. T. W. El liot (Nina Brown, '06), of Edenton, spent the week-end at the College as guest of Miss Madaline Elliot, student secre tary. Mary Elizabeth Cheek, ’29, who is teaching at Wake Forest, spent the week-end at Meredith, Dean and Mrs. Boomhour, Dr. Dixon-Carroll, Mr. M. A. Hug gins, Misses Caroline Riggers, and Doris and Hello, World! This isn’t W. K. Henderson broadcasting from KWKH in Shreveport, La.; it’s simply Davie Belle Eaton broad casting from Greensboro and sending salutations to the alum nae of Meredith College through out the world. Yours truly is de lighted with the opportunity to say hello to the thousands of alumna who, like myself, are tied to the Alma mater by that inde scribable feeling, namely, school spirit. There is a tie that binds us closer than mere words can describe. There’s something about those good old golden school days that follows us on through the years. Old pals, no matter where they are, still mo nopolize our memories and pen sive moments. We have new cares now, and we seem to be almost in another world, but our school spirit makes us kin the world over. Long live Meredith! May those three words circle the globe and echo and reecho to strengthen that chain of school loyalty! May old acquaintance be renewed through these pages and dormant memories awaken ed to enrich our lives. We may go where we will and do what I am having my formal open ing on February 5. Can’t some of your fourteeners be with me on that day? If not on that day, can’t a foursome or twosome come to the Second Internation al Antiques Exposition at Grand Central Palace, March 3 to 9? I'm booth 162. If this letter were the selling of a $1,000 flask or a Chippen dale chair, I’d -be much more successful. My literary efforts were never front page stuff. Nevertheless, I hope, at least, all the 1914’s that read this will be interested enough to stop in to see me if they are motoring through Jersey either day or night. I’m on the New York- Atlantic City Highway. Watch for the Rooster Sign! He crows a continuous welcome. My best to you all. As ever, Lillian Wilkinson Boschen, Ex.'14, B.S.U. NOTES Mrs. Dozier Sees New Meredith First Time Gainesville, Ga. Dear Alumnse: How many glad surprises this world contains! I had hoped when I came to the United Tithing Story Contest Is On Young people of the State are now interested in the annual Tithing Story Contest, conducted by the Woman’s Missionary Un ion. Rules for the contest are as follows: The story must be sub mitted by an active member, ap proved by the counselor of the organization, and it must be the result of the individual’s own work. It is suggested that the stories be sent at once to the State headquarters to be judged by a committee appointed by the State Executive Board. The judges will be governed by this scale of rating: Value of ma terial in teaching tithing, 50 per cent; originality of plot, 25 per cent; literary skill, 15 per cent; appearance of paper, 10 per cent. Stories should be written on one side of the paper only. March 1, 1930, is the last day they will be accepted at State headquar ters. The awards are made by the board. The best story from each Southern State is to be sent to Birmingham headquarters, and the winner is selected by a com mittee. A trip to the W. M. U. annual meeting in New Orleans tance of being physically fit— one's stay in a foreign land is based on that fact. Other inter ests—cooking, sewing, reading, outdoor sports—should be culti vated, she said. She particularly stressed tolerance as being es sential, and said that getting along with people is the hardest task of a missionary. The cor rect attitude is that of brother hood, not superiority. The mis sion of a missionary is to carry Christ, not customs. Mrs. Poteat congratulated the students upon preparing them selves for the greatest task in the world, and testified that it was to her the most wonderful adventure of life. we may^—but old pals are the , u • i. nir ^ is thG nrizs to the final wiimBi' best pals after all! states to have a visit to Mere-, 's Maybe we shouldn't have mentioned it—but laugh and the world laughs with you; talk, and all the freshmen do likewise. It seems that each incoming class gets weaker and wiser! It may be that the writer has chanced to see things at the wrong time, but in my estima tion, the insubordination of the fi-eshmen is appalling. Once upon a time I had a chance to talk to some old girls, but there were two freshmen in the dith. But to have the privilege of visiting my old home in Statesville, then to see my old College home in her new dress, was almost too much joy for me to contain in October. New Meredith is beautiful. It is much larger than I expected it to be. Even more beautiful than her buildings was the view, the magnificent landscape that can be seen from every window and from the campus. I wonder if Miss Ida Poteat has not used One Meredith girl won the Southwide prize. If Bess Thomas, '27, got the prize, it is possible that another Meredith girl can stand the same chance. Send in your story soon! Somebody whispered some thing to somebody else the other day! It is thought that the gist of those whispered sentences is this: that there is to be another Wake Forest-Meredith social soon! A.

O’Cro-Coc’ House, 81 South Street, Freehold, N. J. February 1, 1930. Dear Alumnse: Since our secretary’s request for a letter, I've disturbed my zier and I shall be turning our faces toward the work w’e love. We are not saying much about leaving our two children here in America. But we know our Father knows their needs and will care for them. We rejoice that there is a great interest in missions in the South. The “schools of missions” in the churches have shown us that great crowds are eager to study.
