The cooperation of all who have helped the staff in anv way during the year is appreciated. A GIFT TO THE LIBRARY A bound copy of all issues of Thk Twig for the past four years will be presented to the library at the end of this year as a gift. Should the staff for the next two years see fit to follow this example, the back issues of The Twig could be bound, at this rate, after two more years. A WISH The Twig is passing into capable hands. Tiie present staff retires with the wish that next year’s staff may profit by the mis takes of this year, and realize the possibilities of better work and more genuine service to the scliool. A RECOGNITION Tlie consistent and efficient work of Margaret Tilghman, senior, and Norma Rose, sopliomore, managing editors, of Margaret Caudle and Mary Elizabeth Dobson, reporters, and of Pauline Perry and Geneva Bass, typists, on Thk Twig staff this year, de.serve.s recognition. A DISCLOSURE Tlie writer of tlie humor column of The Twig, entitled Splinters From The Twig, Things We Can Do WithoiU, Similes, and other contributions, is a non-staff member. To the majority of the students, the identity of the writer is not as yat definitely known. The staff' takes advantage of tliis last issue, therefore, to announce Evelyn Barker as the writer of these articles, and to thank her for such contributions. Early in the year, some lines from Splinters in the Traig were quoted in the Ago7iistic, Agnes Scott Jiewspaper. A COMING EVENT The united efforts of several departments in the college are going into tlie production of tlie Greek drama, Iphigenia in Tauris, to be presented here Saturday, May 12, on the dining hall steps and in tlie court. Dr. Florence M. Hoagland and Dr. Helen Price are giving freely of their time in planning and directing the play. Mr. Leslie P. Spehnan is supervising the music. Mrs. Spelman, with tlie assistance of Elberta Foster, is supei'vising the dancing. Miss Ida Poteat and Miss Mary Tillery of the art department are assisting by designing costumes and stage setting. Miss Ellen Brewer and Miss Jennie Hanyen of the Home Economics Depart ment are supervising the making of the costumes. Miss Forgeus tlie librarian, has, after much difficulty, obtained the music for the production. Dean Boomhour has arranged for a change in the scliedule for senior examinations, making it possible for all to attend. Emily Miller, Little Theatre president, is very fortunate in se curing the cooperation and interest of so many departments in the school. She is attempting to secure the best possible facilities for the actual production. Tlierefore the financial success of the play is an important matter. Many people from neighboring places have planned to witness the production. Every Meredith student, it is hoped, will attend. It is interesting to note in the Randolph-Macon Woman’s College Sun Dial (weekly newspaper) that a Greek play is given in the original each year. Prometheus Unbound will be presented there in May. The Iphigenia to be given here will, of course, be given in the English translation. Club Notes Colton English Club The Colton English Club met Friday evening, April 13,- at 6:45. Those present enjoyed a very Interesting pro gram. The guest speaker of the eve ning was Professor Hudson of the ' nlverslty of North Carolina and he read his story of "The Bell Witch of Tennessee."
