She came, zee sow, she cow-
qucrcd!—even a hard l)oiled
newspaper reporter! Who ?
Miss “Dick” McConnell. When
the li. S. U. Council members
and others who had known Miss
jMcConnell at Ridgecrest and
other liaptist meetings praised
lier so highly, and even “i-avcc],”
skc])tical Twui repm-ters who
hail from Missouri waited until
thev had something on wiiich to
bu.so their judgment. No “pop”
judgments would do about so
talked about a ])orsonage. Two
cha|)cl talks and private talks
with individual students make
good grounds for jirotjf. Tlie
campus as a whole have been con
quered—not bv a tvraiinical
Caesar, hut by an outstanding
])ersonality. She beg;in iier un
conscious campaign with her talk,
“Ships of I’ersonaiity.” All ex-
ce])t the extra cynical and argu-
mentive agreed with no reluc
tance. Her Ridgecrest talk made
even the usually uneiithusiastic
“wake up and take notice.” If
everv Jleredith girl who wants to
could go to Ridgecrest, there’d be
nearly a full hotel of .Meredith
girls alone. And can she whistle?
It reminds one of the Whistlers’
Club which once existed on the
IVIeredith campus. Their motto
was, “It’s not j)ermissih!e, but it
looks kissable.” Meredith College
acknowledges the truth of the
previous reports. Miss McCon
nell is “O.K.” Here’s hoping
for “more of the same” now and
oflener.
x'ived from one cxpcrience with
the vnkiiOKm—I was almost
seal peel. Braves—as I learned
they 7cerc called—descended
upon me in paint and feathers
and seemed bent upon using me
as a trophy of the hunt. I es
caped with no serious injuries
and a curiosity that still wished
to know why the occasion for such
a xoild trampling up and doxvn
the court. I couldn't decide
at first. I stumbled—if a cat
docs—over people on benches aitd
was nearly trampled by high heels
—or broader, flatter ones. But—
ic^iile my escapes for a while left
me haunted by Indian whoops
and visions of feet descending
upon me—-it is all a thing of the
past and I learned that it was in
such a way the Juniors decided to
entertain the Seniors!
In spite of the fact that there
is still some time for school to con
tinue, there is a certain spirit of
finality which is beginning to per
vade this place. People speak of
my last this and my last that—
But most of all I hear a certain
group which has been relegated
to a certain section of the dining
room speak of ‘Hhe last six
xoeeks." With this phrase goes
^‘Senior privileges!'’ What that
may be I do not Icnmv definitely—
but it sounds fine. And purrs
—the more the merrier—they
need it—'pon my soul!
But as all things must end so
must this—
So—yoxt.rs for a gay old time
The Kampus Kat,
you don’t believe it, just ask the
girls who room on the outside of
Stringfield Hall; if anj'body
knows, they should, because they
arc awakened every morning by
the noise on the courts.
Some of the girls are just out
for the mere fun of it, but some of
them really moan business, and
there is going to be some compe
tition in the ap])roaching turna-
ment. Just look out for Mary
Bess’s wicked serve! She sends
the balls over the net so fast that
you can hardly see them; and
“Dot” Davis may be little, but—
well, watch her play tennis just
once!
Martha and Katherine Davis,
Alice Stratton, “Spcq” Harris,
Kathleen Durham, Kitty Make
peace, and numerous others arc
plenty good, and from pi’esent
appearances, the tournament will
be anvthing but boring.
Dr. Urewer was a visitor at
the Hocutt Memorial Church in
Burlington.
Biofogy C\uk Has
Interesting Program
Dr. Charles E. Brewer spent
Tuesday and Wednesday of last
week in Frederick, Maryland,
where he was attending a meeting
of the Junior Order.
Miss Hesta Kitchin spent last
week-end at her home in Scotland
Neck, N. C. She was accompa
nied back by Misses Pauline
Kitchin and Ruth Leary.
I
Mi.sses Ida Poteat and Mary
Tillery attended the Southern
States Art League Convention
held in Savannah, Georgia, last
Thursday and Friday. Miss Til
lery exhibited a painting, “Snow
in North Carolina,” which was a
very beautiful view.
Miss Mary Jane Spruill was a
Lillington visitor during the past
week-end.
A most interesting px'ogram
was presented at the Barber Bi
ology Club April 16, at 6:45
o’clock. Helen Middleton was in
charge of the program, which was
as follows:
“In Defense of Insects,” Mary
McAden; “A Collection of Sul
phur Butterflies,” Ruby Lee;
“Pine Barren Pixies,” Mary Lee
Howell; “A Collection of Moths,”
IMargaret Broughton.
In the brief business session
preceding the program, a discus
sion was lield relative to the an
nual gift of the club to the de
partment. A bird or life history
chart was decided upon. At the
close of the meeting the president
announced a call meeting for the
following Thursday evening for
the purpose of electing iiext
year’s officers. The new officers
will have charge of the May meet
ing.

Spring has come at last, and
that means tennis; and, changing
an old adage slightly, “the early
girl gets the court.” These pretty
days the courts come to life about
six o’clock in the morning, and
there is always a waiting list. If
S. Lockwood: I hear you
Hunked English?
E. Parkinson: Yes, Miss John-
•son asked for an essay on “The
Result of Laziness,” and I hand
ed in a blank paper.
The origin of the Grand Can
yon has been discovered. A
Scotchman touring the West
drop|)ed a dime in a prairie dog
hole.
E. C. T. C. had an April Fool
issue that was as bad as ours—
“Henry Ford Donates $5,000,
000 For Building New Smoking
Room,” is an example.
And you should have read the
write-up of May Day in the
Queens-Chicora April Fool issue.
White cheese cloth and red mos
quito netting for clothes—how’s
that? The Coker College Peri-
scope has a blank space on the
front page of their April Fool
issue which is labelled “Dr. C. as
he looked addressing faculty
meeting in his plea for the pass
ing of the smoking pi'ivilege.”
From the Little Rock Tiger:
There was once an old man from
Peru,
Who always would visit the zoo;
A monkey he spied,
And ho cried and he cried,
“My long lost dad from Peru.”
S B.: You’re a fool.
K. M.: Well, you’re the big
gest fool on the campus.
Dr. H.: Girls, girls, you for
get I’m hei'e.
E. P.: Did you get a haircut?
D. M.: No, I justhad my ears
moved down.
The kid who had never seen the
cfiuntry before secs a spider spin-
ninga web between two tall weeds
and yells, “Pop, come see this
bug putting up a wii’cless.”
Miss Mary Crawford had as
her guest Saturday night. Miss
Bernice Stringfield of Asheville.
Miss Richie Anderson visited
Miss Dorothy Rowland in Rocky
Mount Sunday.
Misses Martha Galt, Doris and
Mary Tillery motored over to
Chapel Hill, N. C., where Miss
Mary Tillery entered the follow
ing pictures in the Professional
Artists Club: “The Portrait of
Tommie Tucker,” “A Land
scape—March Morning,” “The
Red Sweater,” and a few draw
ings.
Misses Lena Barber and Ida
Holliday, guests of 'Miss Char
lotte Armstrong, went to Charles
ton, S. C., last week-end to sec the
magnolia Gardens.
Misses Carolyn Peacock, Ma
bel Yarborough, Alverda Rosel,
Alice Keith,' and Mrs. Lillian
Parker Wallace, accompanied by
young gentlemen professoi's of
State and Wake Colleges enjoyed
an outing last Friday night at
Lassiter’s Mill, where they cooked
their dinner.
“Poor Jake, the coffin maker,
got too ambitious.”
“Too ambitious?”
“Yej)! He’s all wrapped up
in his work now!”

And now we know why they
say amen instead of awoman—
because they sing hims instead of
hers!
The Scotch song—“The best
things in life are free.”
The saccharine song—“Ain’t
she sweet?”
The hunter’s song—“Oh, how
I miss you tonight.”
