Everyone is looking forM'arcl
to Monday evening M’hen, for
once, each student will have an
opportunity of seeing her favor
ite faculty member take off his
or her ma.sk of dignity for two
hours and assume such I'ole.s as
that of cat, dormouse, rabbit,
and many freaks. This presenta
tion of Alicc in Woiiderland is
the highlight of entertainment
in the career of each Meredith
girl in each college generation.
The fact that it is the faculty
that makes up the eiitire cast of
this fanciful play makes the stu
dents all the more eager to see
it.
The 'present senior class had
a sample of the delightful enter
tainment that the Meredith
faculty can give in a program
that was presented three years
ago. The members of the senior
class, therefore, can assure the
ejitirc student I){)dythat when tiie
curtain is drawn on next Mon
day evening tliey will be about
to witness a plav that will prove
truly enjoyable. The tables have
turned—now faculty entei-tains
.students.
Ol'KN' Foki’m
Having heai-d froni mnny
sources of tlic success of the
sophomore class compaign plans
for soaj) coujtons, we would re
mind the otlicrs that they ac
cepted tlie clialienge and arc su|>-
posed to be the opponents of the
sophomores in the race. So|»ho-
mores lutve, so we have heard,
already several hundred coupons
on hand with tlie promise of
many hundfcd niore to come in
soon. lia|)tist churches and mis
sionary societies, organizations
and friends in colleges all over
the state have promised their
!iel]). The sopltomoi*es have
notices in prominent places and
have a box in which the coupojis
are to be dropped. Others are
not yet awake to the fact that
there is a contest. Are the sopho
mores to repeat their usual vic
tory ? They w’on in hockey,
basketball, and Stunt night; arc
they to win even in soap. If
cleanliness indeed be godline.ss,
the sophomores have sponsored
an enormous amount of near
godliness. Even if the sopho
mores are to win at least they
deserve a decent fight. My ad
vice is that tlie other three classes
wake up! D. M.

elt'ectiveness. T)ie composer had
expressed in the music, in a very
descriptive manner, his concej)-
tion of the various types of
persons at a masked ball.
Througli Mary’s intei'prctation
the audience was almost made to
see these different characters.
The third number, Nocture,
by Chopin, was a striking con
trast to the SchumaJin work. The
beauty of the piece lay in its in
terpretation, the sustained
melody notes creating a mystic
and dreamy world in which the
imagination could wander at will.
The last number of the group,
Etude by Chopin, was a composi
tion which required unusual
technical skill and maintained a
rapid tempo from the first note
to the last.
Sonato by Beethoven was a
number which appealed to the
deeper emotions of the li.steners
and was filled with surprises, in
that the inusic changed with such
unexpectedness from one mood to
another. The entire composition
seemed to express the conflict of
emotions within the com}>o.ser’s
soul.
The first number in the lastj
group, Clair de lAinc bj' De
hussy, was rich in poetic
imaginings. The stirring melody
and exquisite harmony giving,
as its name signifies, the effect of
soft moonlight filtering through
lacy curtains. Such was the
atmosphere created by tlie
pianist as she rendered it.
The last number on the pro
gram, Sounds front the Vienna
Woods by Strauss, was, in con
trast to the Debussy number,
vi\ncious and brilliant, making a
most ctt'ectivc close for the pro
gram.
Throughout the recital, Mai-y
exliibited in her interju-etation
and playing an unusual ability
to adapt herself to the many dif
ferent moods which Jier mnnbers
called for.
Following the recital, a lovely
informal rcccj)tion was held in
tiic college parlors. Tlie receiving-
line was composed of Mary Lee,
I\Ir. and Mrs. O. I.,ee of
l-'torence, S. C., Miss May
('rawfoi-d, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac
liattin, Mrs. Charles E. Urewer,
