The two societies on the Mere dith campus offer an interesting and varied form of extracurricu lar activity. For those who are interested in writing there is the Carter-Upchurch medal of the Astrotckton Society and the Minnie Jackson Bowling medal of the Philaretian, wliich are given to the M'inner of tho essay contest at commencement. During tlic year tiie members will be asked to appear on the ))rogranis in musical numbers, plays, or in whatever spccial field in M’hich they are interested. Participation in these programs wlienevcr called upon will give one a greater personal interest in the socicty and will develop anotlier .side of the student which will aid in giving her a well I’ounded college life. A number of tlie Freshmen have reported to try out for the Twio staff. We hope that more will do so within the next week so that assignments may be made for the Freshman issue. “DAILY SQUAWK” EXTRA PUTS THIS IN SPOTIIOHT The Twig has been unusually fortunate this year in liaving many of the Raleigh firms ad vertise in its columns. We wisli to urge again that you patron ize the Twig advertisers. During the next few issues of the Twig there will be lists of some of the new books which have been added to the library tliis summer. (Continued from page one) representing himself and sought the job, but his heart became faint when his boss, a highly ef ficient business woman in the person of Mary Carter Noell, told him that the job required him to stand upon a high pole. Although this was a precarious position, and although the young man soon fell, the story ended well enough for a pretty young lady Reba Parker im mediately “fell” for him. The “Lost and Found Depart ment” consisted of: “Lost—in your arms, Found—^you.” This was very well demon strated by a handsome young suitor, Ruth Harrelson, and Gwennie Crowder, the young lady in the story. The “Advertisement Depart ment” ^ demonstrated grim yet finally the most encouraging truth maintained by a certain well known soap company. This stunt, “It Pays to Advertise,” consisted of three acts: 1. Re jection ; 2. Recognition; 3. Rein carnation. Eliza Briggs was tiie heroine and Nancye Vicellio i:>rovcd the most helpful auntie wlio is always present in such circumstances. Tiie newsboys who distributed the “Extra’s” proved themselves to be quite versatile, since they also took part in the stunt “It Pays to Advertise.” After the program, j^opsickles wei-e served and the socicty mem bers together with the new girls in whose lionor the program was given enjoyed dancing and listening to the radio. Athletic News Hockey practice starts next week! As usual the first week will be devoted entirely to Freshmen practices, as soon as they can get out the best of their talent. Practices will be held for the other classes at regular times. The tennis courts will be i-eady soon. They are being worked over, and the back- stoi>s are being moved back so ns to allow plenty of room. The alumnae had this work done with $150 of the Octagon coupon money. If possible there will be a Freshmen tournament this fall. There ai-e two shuffle-board courts in the gym, and any one is welcome to use them at any time. The equipment will be found in a corner of tho gym. Archery can be had if wanted —either in the fall or spring. Mowever, it is necessary to let Pat Abernethy know if there are u sufficient number of girls who want it. Miss Catherine Allen gave an ad(h-ess to the High Point bi-anch of the American Uni versity Women at their opening banquet Friday, September 30 on the Edinburgh conference. Krazy Kracks Have you seen all the inviting signs on a certain door on second floor Af It looks like a col legiate club room, and raho, of all people, ‘‘bet” except a junior and the president of the town girls clubf. They stuck theit heads in, as the sign invited, xvithout knocking., Now they knoxv it isnH a club room. And they aren^t the only ones xvho looked inside to find just a room. They fooled the junior class president—almost {for there is no real fooling her!)—the other night, A couple of juniors made her think she'd find something exciting in her room. Wfien she entered there was this crook standing up—a handle of an um brella. She xvasnH fooled but she had a queer feeling! This same president had quite a time Saturday afternoon Sherlocking and proving to several prominent juniors, a senior, and a couple of sopho mores that “Silent Sam” wasn't xmx. She almost—but that's not for publication. Dr. Winston received quite a shock xvheii she xoalked in Miss Yarborough's office and found one of her chemistry majors “kissing a nice yoimg man," as she described it. It turned out to be the girl's father, however, to Dr. Winston's great relief. The sophomore class president was trying out experiments to find densities in chemistry lab. Sh.e decided the only thing she xvas sure of (in her oxm words) “that I'm dense." A few lines of warning to the Senior class ztihile there's time. Graduated; “I've been given my diploma. And they say the xoorld's my oyster As I quit the happy coma Of a classic college cloister. But beneath my tough and deep skin. There's a question I am fear ing: Now that I have got a sheep skin. Am I due to get a sheanng?" And then there xoas a fresh man who said to another fresh- vian," are you going to be a Phi or a B. S.
