Congratulations Juniors! First place at Stunt Night for two consecutive years is no small honor. To tlie victor belongs the spoils so to you belongs the sil ver loving cup which has been presented to the winners of the best stunt each since 1923, Congratulations Seniors! Neither is second place small honor. The Seniors also won second place last year. Congratulations Athletic As sociation ! The manner in which the en tire program was arranged and presented showed careful planning on the part of that as sociation. Congratulations and thanks to all others who had a part in making Stunt Night of 1932 carry out the purpose for which it was planned in 1913—a stunt in wliich class (competition could expi-ess itself in cleverness and originality. The Mei'edifh Trio was lieard witli pleasure during chapel Wednesday of last week. Mere dith is fortunate in having this group on the campus. They are not only enjoyed on the campus but are asked to play for va rious organiy.ations of the city and out of town. The members of the trio are Misses Charlotte Armstrong, Aileen McMillan, and Alfrieda Kosel. It was delightful to have so many of the alumnae back for Stunt Night. Sad Kominerttary “In Teaching of English class, each ,of the students have to teach one lesson in grammar,” wTOte one of the said students to a friend, and blushed to the point of blistering when the sen tence was playfully quoted in reply. Judging from that excerpt it seems that “there still remain- eth much to be done.” What About Marc Connelly? In an AP ai’ticle appearing on the front page of one of our local newspapers last week was found the following enlighten ing statement: “‘Green Pas tures’ was written by Paul Green, University of North Carolina professor and play wright.” While it’s proverbially true that “two wrongs don’t make a right,” it’s comforting to note that the Twig isn’t the only newspaper to contain occasional error. And if tliis be rational- ijsing TWIG LETS We xooiider, now that stunt n i !i ht is over and the '^odd spiriV^ classes talk of their mascots, “hones, devils, gleves/^ if the freshman class has a mascot. Some one sug- (jested they choose St. Patrick, the patron of all things green. Economically Encouraging According to the article, “Green Pastures” was being en acted before the citizens of Stockholm, who objected quite violently to the show on the grounds that it was “religions buffoonery,” and subsequently subjected the players to a bar rage of eggs and tomatoes. It is thought that a group of Na tional Socialists were responsi ble for this demonstration. Maybe that’s their way of say ing they have farm produce to throw to the—actors, in lieu of the proverbial birds. With Apologies to Gray The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, A line of cars winds slowly o’er the lea, A pedestrian plods his absent- minded way And leaves the world quite un expectedly. That isn’t original. I found it in a recent issue of the liihli- cal Recorder. Do you knoio how to deter mine the real age of a person, regardless of his apparent chronological a.ge? It’s a ques tion which Oliver Wertdell B\olmes solved years ago, and on the truth of it depends the success of the B-Hive and drug stores near Meredith. Here’s how ifs done. Offer the person food of different Icinds at short intervals. “If young, he will eat anything at arCy hour of the day or night. If old, he observes stated periods, and you might aff well attempt to regulate the time of high-ioater to meet a fishing party as to change them. The crucial experiment is this: O/fer a hulky and buggy bun to the suspected individual just ten minutes before dinner. If this is eagerly accepted and de voured, the fact of youth is es tablished. If the subject of the question starts bach and ex-1 presses surprise and incredulity, as if you could not possibly be in earnest, the fact of maturity is no less evident.^^ Duke University has a new stiident this year whose name is Cornelius McGillicuddy, Jr., from Philadelphia. A professor who is not well acquainted with baseball or “Connie Mack’s’’ full name inquired of the stu dent if he chanced to know Con nie Mack, Jr. We loonder what the reply was, or how the professor felt. And that could happen in a college! Speaking of Halloice’en and ghosts, there %cas a college teacher once ivho had taught for years and years and was always kept as busy as ivas humanly possible. She said she believed she’d never get a chance to rest even when she died, because as soon as she was comfortably turned over in her grave, “the devil will come along and tell me to get up, for it’s my time to ha’nt.^' If you see any ghosts, perhaps they’ll be that of pro fessors haunted themselves by your comma faults and spelling and themes. B. S. U; Conference to Meet in Chapel Hill (Continued from page one) and Dr. Fuller will speak Fri day night. According to Miss Kate Alli son, state president, a good croAvd is expected at Chapel TTill, where they Avill be enter tained by the Harvard plan of bed and breakfest free. Plans are being made for fifty Mere dith girls to attend the confer ence. This conference is ex pected to be the best of its kind ever afforded Baptist Young People in North Carolina. True in a Sense In speaking of the Twio tlie other day, someone referred to “Kryptic Konunent” as a “good Joke column,” The joke’s on me. I thought I was being subtle—if you’ll pardon a personal komment. Ere We Part “Maid of Gotham, ere we part Have a hospitable lieart— Since our own good times must end Introduce me to your friend.” I don’t particularly like paro dies, but I needed a “parting” ])aragraph. Professor Spefman Gives First Recital (Continued from page one) ))Osers. “Will o’ the Wisp,” by Nevin, proved to be a favorite with the audience. The two final numbers on the program were by Bonnet, one of the world’s greatest organists, under whom Prof. Spelraan studied in Paris. The first, “Lied Dcs Chrysanthemes,” is a composition written in an in- limate and delicate mood, con trasting strongly with the con ventional church and concert organ music; while the last, “Variations De Concert,” con tained ifour variations of the theme Avhich followed a bril liant introduction, the last va riation being interrupted by a pedal cadei^a of surpassing brilliance. Dr. Walter N. Johnson Speaks at Assembly (Continued from page one) amassing material Avealth as never before,” and that, “Never were so many organized, intel ligent bad people using more in ventions than ever before, work ing together on a world scale as never before, now amassing ma terial wealth as never before.” He said, “Our problem today is that mankind has learned to produce faster than he is willing to divide.” H'e also said, in efi'ect, tliat mankind should vol untarily shai'e the fruits of labor, instead of waiting for government to force liim, and that, “A man under grace will go further sharing material goods than any other.” In conclusion, Dr. Johnson said, “It doesn’t require a prophet to know that this age is one of great crisis,” in which the one concern of Christian' people is that of “bearing the proper testimony to the pres ence of Jesus in redeemed life. He stated finally that the re ligion of Jesus “releases power in us that takes control of ma terial things on the outside and uses them in the testimony of Christ.” Exchanges We are proud of Chowan’s swimming pool, even if we can’t have one. The State Teacher College of Farmville, Virginia, is rivaling the depression by having a weekly recreation night in the gym. They may have to use perpetual motion to win the race. College Department of Pullen Entertained The Pullen Memorial Church entertained the College Depart: ment with a picnic Saturday evening at Carolina Pines. Ap proximately eighty members en joyed an evening of games, songs and stories around a camp fire. Members of • the Pullen Church furnished the means of transportation for the Meredith girls, who left the college about 4:30 o’clock. When they ar rived at Carolina Pines, they found the State boys already there. Various games were played so that all might become ac quainted. Around six o’clock a large campfire was built and here the , group ate supper, told stories and sang songs. They returned to their re spective colleges about eight o’clock.
