campuses have beon notified to
select from an approved list the
books desired and order them from
Nashville. Tho donor of this touo*
dation states that it will be en
larged from time to time as there
may. be noed. The purpose of the
Walter Richard Foundation, a me
morial to a deceased son, is “to
got the right iiook to the right
students at the right time." Mere
dith happened (o be one of the
fortunate schools which received
part of this fund. So, by moans ot
this, the B. 6. U. Council selected
17 of the most helpful books. They
are as follows:
1- "Singing In the Rain," Men*
roe,
2. "Burden o( Yale," Taylor.

heart’s content.
By the way. Miss Klchllno wants
to urge all of those girls who have

She wishes to have spring cleaning
and to get all the books straight.
Again the B. S. U. Coimoll wish

Thanks to the W. M. S. at the
Hayes-Barton'Baptist Church, a
group of Meredith girls (those who
attend that church regnlarly) en
joyed a very delightfui social on
March 16. The reporter did not

"Hayes Barton Baptist women

Meredith Epicures
By Fiiiiet).v Citr.DRRSON
H some one should ask me what
characteristic nil Meredith girls
possessed In. common to a greater
degree than any other, I think I
should liave to say tiie love of food,
Not food served on a table, for
often we aren't very liungiy at
meal time, and are otten vos'y crltl
cal ot tlie food in the dining room;
but If we miss a meal and someone
puts Bonie meat between two slices
ot bread and caiTles It oul in ub,
we eat it ravenously.
On the other hand, it Isn’t rood
from the Uee-Hlve that wo crave.
True, the Bee-Hive "eats" are flno
for many a swoot tootli, but It nlsn
helps to ward off a lot ot I'ostless-
ueas and discontent at certain
times. After a test or exam wlien
that Ici'dewn feeling seta In, then
tlie proyer thing to do is gn to tho
Bee-Hive and drown your sorrow
in a Coca-Cola accompanied by
three doughnuts, There are tlmos
when the very hour- ItseU nets as
u stimulus and our digestive sys
tem, conditioned by days of habit,
beglna to denmnd rotresl)mout—aft
ernoons wo don’t liave clasaea and
at seven and ten o’dIocU at night.
Sometimes ym can hoar the words
like these, “I’m not hungry and I
don’t have any money, but I want
to go to the Bee-Hlvo. In tact, I
think 1 will go to tho Bee-Hlve."
Eating downtown servos much
the Bame purpose. Few thlngn give
quite as much satisfaction hr break
ing liie regular routine and staying
out tor dinner whon you find the
lust bns packed and Jammed to the
overflowing point.

teen minutes. The eight stage sets
