(Oontlnued ou Pago 2)
Tho birds ai'O singing, the (low
ers are blooming, the trees are
budding, the snii la shining,
everybody is happy and spring is
here! With the advent of spring
many things begin to happen at
Meredith, such aa crooking, olec
lions. May Day practice, daisy
chain practice, and the Little The
atre spring production.
Of rourse, everyone bus been
intoreetod In crooking during the
past four weeks. Many of tho
seniors have been seen peeking
out thelv windows about the hour
o( midnight wa'iching the (lash*
lights which have been exploring
every nook and cranny on tho
campUH. As far as a war ot nerves
la concurued Europe has not had
anything that Meredith has not
had.
A great deal of oxcltoment has
been Aroused over the elections
which have been takings pltwo
every Friday for the last several
weeks. The girls who are to hold
the malor olSceB are being elected
from the lufimborq of tho rising
Bflulor class. Here's to you, ofli-
cersl
I might say here's to you sotilio-
niores In the daisy oiiain praoUce
which you will soon begin to work
ou tor elQss day. One sees the
«i/ Diirci- Ft.Ki8t;ujiAN?!
aun rising over tho hill in a dolsy
Held as she picks, picks, and then
picks some mors daisies from
.among the dew-drenched grass.
It Is hard work but fun, too, and
another iiappy experience to add
to mefinorles of college days that
have passed.
With the coming of spring, the
Little Theatre has not been idlo
for they have begun work on the
spring production, Tho play has
i>eon ehosen and a cast has been
selected. Some of our brothers
from Wilke Forest are going to
help in this pradiiction hy taking
the men's parts in the play.
Just as commencement Is the
oilmax of the school year. May
Day Is the climax of the spring
term. On May 4, onr bisauUful
(]noen of May will roign over her
court ot attendants and watoh, the
May Day festivities given In her
honor which are skillfully and
beautlfiiUy directed by Mrs. Sor
rell. This Is au event for which
tiie new studenLs may eageiiy
await.
And last hut not least you will
roniember that In tL& Spring a
young girl's ns well a's a young
man’s fancy lightly tnrns, to
thoughts ot love. And then there's
always spring fever—hoh(im.
