The large and beautiful ^rint of Jihe Sistine Madonna given, to Meredith College by Dr. A. B. Hunter is deeply appreciated by Faculty and students alike. Dr. Hunter is Rector Emeritus of St. Augustine’s College and a be loved citizen of Raleigh. As a lover of the beautiful and a col lector of wide experience, he has shown generosity to various schools which will keep alive his memory in dur community, and tiie spiritual beauty of the Raphael Madonna at Meredith will influence all who see and ap preciate it. Meredith Students Attend Collegiate Press Association (Continued from page- one) alue to civilization, which is in deed a high aim for life. The concluding session of the meeting was held at ten o’clock Saturday morning, at which time reports from the various commit tees were heard.

If it is still permissible to dis cuss the crook, there are several “cracks” (not literal ones, al though tiiere are a plenty now) about ’ it which ate most amus ing; Someone was ‘ telling it around that Mary I^aura Vaughan had found it. A junior asked what she had done with it. The reply was that she had painted it blue. TWIGLETS May 13, 1933 Vocations for Women Discussed in Chapel Beer has become so much the chief topic of discussion that one of the Latin classes couldn’t even read a passage about a man on his funeral bier and keep serious. We hear that B— B— fin- ished a telephone conversation very abruptly that Sunday night (just as the junior president did) because she thought there was a real crook loose on the campus. Did you notice an article in the past Twig about a copy, of the Sistine Madonna having been given the college? In the first “proof” copy that article was placed under the picture of the May Queen, and you can imagine hoM' that looked! We suggest that henceforth the junior class adopt as its class song ‘‘Coming Tlyough the Rye.”'" A .certain dignified faculty member in the science department was in Charlotte in a store which haid a feature candy sale. She was looking at the candy and re marking “I want some of that.” A kind hearted young gentleman (perhaps a college boy) heard her and came up- and gave her $.16^ , .

In order to achieve these ends, the cooperation-of tiie student body is again solicited. Nancve Viccellio. Hunting For Crook Proves To Be New Fad On Campus (Continued from page one) the procession of celebration. However, the tables w ere turned at exactly one forty-six o’clock Monday morning, May first, when the Sophs and Seniors started the great hunt. And whatta hunt! Every senior and soph from tlie smallest to the biggest started turning rock, stones, benches upside down. Whatta hunt! Whatta week! And whatta Crook!

After she laid her offering at the feet of the Queen, the Queen was crowned by her at tendants. She was followed by the dance of the Chrysanthe mums and Gypsies. One of the most striking features was tlie solo dance by Elberta Foster, who represented Jack Frost; She was dressed completely in white and came as a forerunner of Win ter, driving away Autumn and her attendants. Winter was rep resented by Louise Turlington. The band of Russian ice skaters who followed her were particular ly good. Virginia Garnett, as the spirit of Spring, gave one of her usual excellent performances in her solo dance. She was accom panied by the four Winds, the Sunbeams, Hazel Boswell and Dorotliy Dockery, who were very brilliant in their golden cos-^ tumes, and by the Rainbow, com posed of seven girls clad in the appropriate rainbow colors. Marguerite Warren, as Sum mer, gave as her ,offering to the Queen, her Flower Garden, group of freshmen representing a number of different flowers in bright colored paper costumes. The two Dragon Flies, Betsy Bizzell and Agnes Moore, \vho fluttered around the flowers, were most originally and interestingly dressed in green M'ith wings and other necessary features to repx’e- sent dragon flies. The old-fashioned quadrille by members of the Physical Edu cation sixty-one class was very well done, being one of the best dances in the program. The Maypole dance by sixteen soph omores which brought the pro gram to a close was carried out in all its complexity without a mistake. Music for the dances was For the past week, the Baptist Student Union of -Meredith Col lege has observed “Vocational Guidance Week.” A group of speakers from Raleigh talked; on .arious vocations open to. girls at the college chapel exercises throughout the week.
