afternoon at -1 o'clock Ity Isaac
Lucius Uuttin, head of the
School of Music and ])rofessor
of organ.
The first nunilHU* on the pro-
giam was a ’horale Prelude by
liach in which t;he deeply re
ligious nat«ir? of the ‘omposer
was exjnessed. The (|uiet dig
nity and sympathy with which
this was played indicated the
d(‘(*p a1fectim of Mr. Battin for
this nuisfer.
In the (’’ae.sjir b'ranck -oiu)jo-
sition, “(Jrande IMece Sym-
plioniiiius’- Mi-. Hattin showed
an intelligent gras]> of tlie work

grandeur of the “Allegro non

Tlie poetic charm of “’laire

given with imagination and in-
sijrht as was the jiopular “JiOr-

a progi-ajii so varied as to make
possible both an eU'ective and
(oijoyable recital.

uj-day night, November 1, tinally
came wIk'U the literary societies
of Wake b'orest entertained the
societies of Meredith as a pre-
liminai'y allair to the annual
Wake 1^’orest Society Day. A
gi'cat d(*al of enthusiasm, which
began with the tii-st talk of a
social and prevailed until the
last boy had long been gone,
made the occasion a great suc

expectation of all that were

After gathering in the parlors
in order to divide up in couples,

the Astro Hall, which was beau

Meredith Retains
Many Old Traditions
l>id you know we always had
“cake-«'alk"—or rather, t he
negro waiters did—^.just before
the Christmas holidays ^ Fresh
men, do you know aiiout the
crook ' Sophs and Seniors, have
you forgotten that “'J'bese
Jiones” were always sung at
Stunt Night by the ‘‘odd
classes " W'a have been asking
tliese |uestions quite a lot re-
itently, aiul the answer to the
first anl third is usually “yes,”
and the answer to the second is
“no." Accordingly we have
been at work c(dlecting all col
lege traditions for the benefit of
every oiu‘, from faculty to fresh
men.
The ghost who was written up
last w(K*k heads our list. The
most anticipated tradition we
have is “Alice in W’onderland.”
In the spring of 15)32 our digni
fied faculty will take olt (heir
masks and be human long
enough to present a dramatiza
tion of Lewis Carrol’s famous
story. lOvery college generation
the students form the audience,
and the faculty lake the stage
and the limelight. Having seen
t>\''o performances of the play
already, we look forward to the
third with even greater antici
pation. Here’s Just a hint of
what it was like in 1!)28: Dr.
Price slung pots and pans at
Miss llernd(ui. Mr. Poomhour
had his face slapped. ]>r. Har
ris, as the grifliu did the mock-
turtle tiuadrille. Mr. (^xnady
