It is here all the time, but, as we have noticed, it is more open in the springtime. The girls are then brought together as a unit more and more often. The whole student body is roused to active interest in the election of officers for the succeeding year; out-of- door sports bring a great num ber of girls into athletics; and the entire college is actively in terested in the success of the May Day Festival. Recurrently, through all the program, there are various social functions— compliments to the departing class. Evei'ybody realizes, senior and freshmen, that there is only a little while longer, and each tries to grasp the spiritual cord which binds us to our Alma Mater. It is good to be reminded that, whatever spirit we may evidence at times, we are at heart deeply loyal to Meredith. And it is also good to realize that every mem ber of a student body is stirred with the same emotion; for, we believe, emotion is one of the fundamentals of loyalty. IN APPRECIATION For the past several weeks, everywhere one steps there ai’e flowers blooming here and there. Roses, pinks, lilies, pop pies, flags, and new grass seem to have taken the place. Appar ently, all this work of those who have planted, dug, hoed, and sprinkled has not escaped a sin gle girl on the campus, because everyone in passing the flowers has remarked how beautiful and fresh it makes the whole campus look. Each girl feels an appre ciation for all this, and is glad to see the grounds grow more beautiful as each day brings another flower to bloom. CHECKING “Return to the dust” does not always symbolize death—for in the case of Meredith girls it means going out front to watch the checks. But despite the heavy coat o’ tan acquired in the afternoon’s walk, it is quite evi dent from the number of girls who are attracted to this sport just how interested we all are in those from the outside world who ride out to see us. Most assuredly, we would feel isolated out here, especially on Sundays, if our friends weren't permitted to check; and for that reason it , is very important that we be careful about overstepping our privilege. It is true that such offenses are infrequent, but when they do occur they tend to give an unfavorable impression of our school. Every Meredith girl is anxious to uphold the reputation of her Alma Mater, as well as retain the customary privilege of allowing four-wheeled visitors, but unless the former can be suc cessfully done, the latter must be sacrificed. Everything de pends on our cooperation indi vidually for the benefit of all, but we hope that can be settled without additional restrictions. “Son’s” Picture Presented At Chapel Exercises (Contimud from pagt mtt) she had loved every girl she had ever nursed. She first came to Meredith, not finding a well- equipped infirmary, but having to care for sick girls as well as she could. Years have passed, and she has still stayed, always doing her best, and becoming more and more a part of Mere dith. No praise is enough to ex press all the feelings of grati tude for her work, Dr. Vann said. Dr. Delia Dixon-Carroll pre sented the portrait to the college. She mentioned, too, the faithful work Mrs. Norwood has done. No girl has ever come to Mere dith College whom “Son” hasn’t touched, she declared. And no girl who has ever been to Mere dith will ever forget “Son.” She will be remembered long after the physics and history and reli gious education that was taught will be forgotten. The speaker declared that it was very fitting that one of Meredith’s own girls, Miss Tillery, should be the one who should paint the portrait. And some day, Dr. Carroll said, she hoped that Meredith would have a big, convenient infirmary and that the portrait would be in the very front where it could breathe a blessing on every per son who entered the infirmary. Then Dr. Mary Lynch John son, representing the Meredith alumnaa, paid a tribute to “Son,” declaring that she is the one con necting link that binds together the alumnae of the Baptist Fe male University, the Baptist University for Women, and Meredith College. And every girl who comes back to Meredith, she says, always looks forward to seeing “Son” again. Margaret Craig expressed the tribute from the present student body, saying that Meredith girls hoped that “Son” could shine down on us from fourth floor D for many, many more years. The service was closed with a song which has been a favorite of Mrs. Norwood’s for many years, “No, Not One,” after which many friends gathered around “Son” to express their personal tribute. Astrotekton Society Installation Exercises Monday night, May 5, at 6:45 o’clock the installation service of new officers of the Astro So ciety took plaxse in the Astro Hall. Immediately following the installation service an informal reception was held in honor of the new officers and members of the society. Roberta Royster served punch and cakes. The new officers are as fol lows: President, Ruth Phillips; vice- president, Lily Varser; secre tary, Ruby Johnson; treasurer, Margaret Bridger; chief mar shal, Lois Hartness; senior mar shal, Susan Layton; junior mar shal, Dorothy Taylor; sopho more marshal, Elizabeth Price. Fifth Annual May Day Held At Meredith (Contiimed from prngt eral nationalities and nature dances on the program. The freshmen had two Swedish dan ces and the Dance of the Wind. The Rainbow Mazurka, the Frolic of the Brownies, Pastorale, and Black Nag, an old English folk dance by the famous folk dance collector, Cecil Sharpe, were pre sented by the sophomores. Two Hungarian folk dances and a scarf dance were given by the juniors. The last part of the festival came as a pageant. The fairies gathered and danced until the goblins appeared and frightened the fairies away; but after danc ing gleefully for a time, the goblins slipped away and left the fairies again in possession. They continued to dance until the com ing of Dawn. The solo dancer Dawn was Mary Lee. The grand finale, the May Pole Dance, brought the program to a close and the recessional followed. Before. Meredith moved to its present location the annual pre sentation of the Physical Educa tion Department was a gymnas tic exhibition or field day, with a Maypole at the end. But in 1926 a regular May Day festival was inaugurated with Margaret Cone Tucker as the first queen, Mary Herring was the next queen, in 1927, Dorothy Turling ton in 1928, and Sarah Cooke last year in 1929. Mrs. McKimmon Talks In Mere dith Auditorium (Continued fntu page *ne) well, and to illustrate what she says by demonstrations. Mrs, McKimmon made her talk forceful by telling how the Home Demonstration depart ment won its foothold. It began with the raising and canning of tomatoes by country girls and women, and it fell to the lot of department to sell this canned goods so that the country people would realize the practicability of the suggestions offered. After these cans were sold, the crisis in the development of this de partment was past. Each home demonstration agent is in charge of the work in her county. She has colored assistants, who can appeal to their own race better than white women. She is in charge of Girls’ and Women's Clubs, besides the personal work which is expected of her. Mrs. McKimmon's illustrations from her rich store of experi ences gave her talk an added interest because it gave a clear impression of the work. One realizes the rewards that come to the tangible home demonstra> tion agent. Her reward is in the help that she can give coun try people, and see the results of her work in their improved homes, clothes, and living condi tions. Mrs. McKimmon also suggest ed an added inducement to girls to enter this line of work. She said it was a good road to matri mony! Who knows? Her last remark to the girls was to realize that home dem onstration work is not easy, but that it brings its own rewards. FREE !
