Acceptance for mBllltiE at •peelsl rate of poatase provided for In Section 1109, Act qI October 3, 1917, authoriied October 11, 1929, SUBSCRIPTtON PRICE Our Last Time As this issue of The Twig is published for the last time by the present staff, we feel that we must say a few parting words. We have enjoyed the work that we have done on this publication, and yet it is with a feeling of relief that we turn over the task to the new staff. We know that we have fallen short in many of our aims, but we also feel that all our efforts have not been in vain. Although we have often met with many hardships, the contacts made and benefits derived have overshadowed them. We wish also to thank all of those who have rendered us assistance and without whom the editing of this paper would have been impossible. The business firms in Raleigh have helped us considerably by advertising with us and our busi ness manager has worked faithfully in managing the busi ness staff. We also owe a great deal to Miss Lois Byrd, di rector of the Meredith News Bureau. She has cooperated with us one hundred per cent in every way possible. And to the Capital Printing Company, our printers, we wish to ex press our appreciation. They have willingly helped us in every phase of our work to make our task a pleasant and interesting one. Myl What odd things come out In the BprlQg—odd and interest ing. We didn't have to talk to the saucy little bird on Nellie’s nev Bneter hat to find out what our friends (7) have been up to lately. "Mnl)*c" you think Franoee Spillman didn't have a nice Easter. 8ho’e all for "Mooro” vacations like the last one. That was a good-looking blonde Bob Cain; Sgt. at arms, John Me- the Caly the other day—and she wasn't from Panama. When a girl from Lumberton snakes on us, that's not news; but when she beats herself at her own game—well, that really is the pay off. Considering that It w^s a ‘Dull" affair, It certainly is caus ing a lot of disturbance. We have yet to find the reason whyMarysla Chemlellnski has been different person ever since that week-end In Dunn. Have you no ticed the sparkle In those eyes of hers?' Kow, we all know you’re man-hater, “Shlmmle.’' Could be that a tall blond froin Fay etteville has walked Into your Hte7 Golly-Petel If you think Jane Yelverton wasn’t on the sate side when she Bayard a certain Slg Bp good-bye, take a look at that fraternity pin. Hettle, we’re ashamed of you for the foul way you treated Wal ter. It wasn’t bad euougb that you stayed with Bill until the eleventh hour before Pika Ball, but you late-dated him, too. If your PI K. A. takes that without doing a fade-out, there really must be something to the saying, "An old flame never dies." Prevost, don’t hand us that stuff about "Mama won’t let baby go to May Frolics next week-end.’' We didn’t notice her keeping you away from Wake Forest at Easter time. We wish Jane Thompson had let us get Just one little peek at the boy who came all the way from New Jersey to see her. Powerhouse Thompsonl And speaking of hlgU power, Paul came from Memphis to see Harrlette Salley. That romance Is In Its third year and still going strong. Two things that continue to puz zle us; Why Dimp’s (7) Bob didn’t ask for Virginia Lee himself in stead of Istllng another party do It for him. And why Poe persisted in wearing her heart on her sleeve To Our New Editor: When I took over the office as editor of The Twig last year, the outgoing editor gave me some advice from a west ern newspaperman which I should like to pass on to our new editor: “The college editor should make a slight distinction be tween himself and his job. The job is important; he is not. The editorship is a.s responsible a position, in its potential power to help or harm the college as the presidency of the college. “The editor, unless he is a child prodigy, must proceed thoughtfully and with due regard for the errors of his pre decessors if he is properly to fulfill that responsibility.” — The Daily Illinois. And now I would like to say to the new editor and her staff that they have a good opportunity ahead of them to gain something of real educational value and also a chance to be of great service to Meredith. I am speaking for the whole staff in saying that we wish for you every success. In closing I give you this little poem which I have read in many exchanges recently: “What have you done,” St. Peter asked, “That I should admit you here?” “I ran a paper,” the editor said, “At my college for one long year.” “St. Peter pityingly shook his head And gravely touched the bell. “Come in, poor man, select a harp; “You’ve had your share of Hell.” We Wonder,. . Why several Juniors and seniors say they aren’t going to the Junior- senior banqimt? Why some young couplcs avoiiiiU here are bo fond of the railroad tracks on the west campus? What motivates dally trips to the drug store? Must be an Im pelling interest. It a certain freshman ever found out liow that fraternity man got her name and tolophune number! Why one of the sophomores wanted to get even with that same fraternity man? How some people manage to get around so much? Why Uiat Junior blushed so when lier picture was snapped for the Wake Forest annual? Why so many girls have so many term papers that require so much material of more than one kind from State College? Whence comes the nerve to think that an old flame never dies. How we can arrange to have iii'ire good chapel programs, such as Miss Bailey’s Speech Choir, the Glee Club, special musical seiec- lions, or what have you. If Prances still refers the Wake PoicBt orciiestra to any other. If that freshman missed an ap pointment when a note meant for an orchestra member was acci dentally Intercepted, and not passed on. How the unearthing of dates sponsored by Juniors and seniors tor tiie banquet is coming along About the Increased attendance at society meetings and vespers when—a nearby college had charge of the programs. The recent trend of young men giving girls vanity cases and week end bags reveals that the ideas that at the sophomore party. (Britt felt like a piece of fly paper.) Ernestine Bellamy practically lost that BIgma Nu of hers when she bad to break a date with him to rccelve guests from Virginia. It certainly does seem strange not to see Wetsell’s ahlning coun tenance in Jane's room. It has been replaced by that of a little boy having his hair cut. We.wonder if this Reid person Is Joas a passing faDcy with Paula Karl. She’s always had the repu tation of being man-proof. But to us, sophomore party, Easter vaca tion, and Sundays out-of-town In dicate differently. Abernathy and Cain are still at It, Reserve your seats, folks, for the big bout. Come early to avoid the rush- and be prepared 'for a gory battle. If you don't believe those two are gluttons foi- punish ment, watch them slap each other around some time. Was Sarah Pope's face red when she rushed back to school to sign up for a date with one of the Wake Forest Glee Club boys and there staring her in the face was his name—signed for a date with another Meredith angel. McSwain, Rudlslll, and Frye are undecided as to whether they should register as co-eds or Just pitch a tent In the court. Maybe they’ll limit tbelr pitching to woo In the parlor. ’Tain't the spring, ’tain’t the flowers that give Minnie Anna palpitations of the heart. It’s memories of the S, G. convention —and that could mean some guy not student government. Too bad Junior-Senior had to be this week-end. especially since that nice little boy 'asked Edna Earle to May Frolics at Carolina. Speaking of Carolina, Tillle Ed wards’ affair with her U. N. C. friend Is one of the few diphtheria cases which really took! Among those present at Pika Ball: Rosalind Bennett, Annie Elizabeth Coward, Ann Taylor, Hertle Mae Currln, and Jac Pro vost. At Kappa Slg dance: Rebec ca Vaughan, Ann Floyd, and Helen Byrd. Pardon me for rushing off. If you happen to see me walking across the campus, I don't mind you throwing a tomato at me, but please remove It from the can first. / '; April 22, 19S9 SPRING IS HEREI By Jane Thompson are foremost In the feminine head are; "How do I look, and where am I going?” Why ‘’green" boys think they have a chance with upperclassmen? Better go back to the freshmen— this time. Wiiat a little group huddled over a dining-room table, after a certain meal, was doing? When we’ll get a chance to dig out the prospects over on third floor C? How many remember when they flrst heard tlie following; How are door nobs and women alike? They are both something to a-dore. It was a lovely, moonlit night, and a certain Meredith girl was being escorted around the Wake Forest campus. The voice of her escort awakened her from her de sire to hurry back to Meredith and start classes again. The Deacon said, ’’See that bench? Doesn’t that look good to you?" But our angel aq^swered. "Not specially—I don't see anything about It to eat.” “An educated man is one who is able to put himself In anybody else’s place and know exactly how that person feels." "An educated man is one who does what he ought to do, when be ought to do It, whether he wants to do It or not.” It Isn’t Just baby talk when some people say It's "waynlng" instead of “raining."

And after all that toollshnesa If you can stand a little seriousness I would like to say that it haa been lots of fun writing this col umn for the Twio and it Is with a little reluctance and a great deal of assurance and confidence that 1 turn it over to my auccessor. Take It away ‘’Shlmmie," Summer seaalon catalogs are now in process of distribution.

His lecture was sponsored by the Meredith Alumnae Association, and this lecture opened their an nual seminar. Prof. S. 0. Riley, bead of th9 Meredith history department. In troduced Dr. Eddy, who gave a brief review of the world crisis as his Introduction. He told that Great Britain and Poland bad an alliance today which is the. flrst alliance that Britain has ever formed with a lone country beyond the Rhine. Continuing, Dr. Eddy told ot the events that had oc curred in the last tew years to cause the present world crisis. This thought brought him to the situation In the Far East. Dr. Eddy said that forty years ago Japan bad almost no navy, and now she has the third largest navy and merchant marine in the world. In 1924, Japanese were excluded from the Ignited States, and at this time the Japanese began.making demands upon China. Japan cap tured cities and provinces from China in 19.31. Now Japan is con tinuing her forward advance, and China is going backward. •‘This present war is the most diabolical, evil, and terrible war Imaginable.” said Dr. Eddy, and he Illustrated this statement by telling some ot the horrors ot the .war. One ot these horrors was that no woman between the ages of fifteen and seventy is sate today in China. Dr. Eddy told, too, how opium 1s being forced on the Chi nese people to finance the Japa nese campaign and to demoralize and break down the Chinese at all costs. Dr. Eddy closed his lecturer by appealing to the audience to do something about the situation In China. He gave nine suggestions that we might heed. These were to avoid entangling military al liances in Europe, to keep Ameri ca out ot war and the world out ot war, to not retire in selfish Iso lation, to seek to give Justice as a cornerstone ot lasting peace, to modify the neutrality act by amendment, to InternationaHse the Monroe Doctrine, to aid de mocracies to receive our full quota of refugees, and to be a member of universal fatherhood ot all mankind.
