(Praise allah!) There remains the problem of secur ing a hundred dollars (to be exact) for /ilms. We can’t have the movies without films. Juggle your brains around and try to think of some of the hi-falutln’ pictures we can have if tills great enterprise goes over—and it is going over, with your help and cooperation. Yeah, Man! When you are a gray-haired beauty think how swellelgant it will be to hobble back to ye olde place of learning and see moving pictures of Mrs. Sorrell’s gym class you were in, or a favorite stunt, or one of Miss Ida’s art exhibits, or a Phi-Astro debate, or perhaps a B. Y. P. U. social! Or, if you’re not a member of the student body, but an interested by stander or sumpin’, cast a wicked eye over a movie of our American beau ties who mazurka around a May Day pole out in the grove and lend grace and local color to the atmos phere. If you’re interested In sending your daughter here, you will like for her to see the moving pictures that are going to be presented in different high , schools around, with a little in side dope on Meredith—sorta behind the scenes. In this way she can get glimpses of the girls from the time they wander around''■Nonchalantly through the Senior parlor as Froshies to the days when they hide the crook as Seniors!
