Let’s Work and Play
There is a time for all things, even
though many of us never seem to find
that time. Right now I am speaking of
the way we budget our time, or maybe
I should say, the way we don’t do it.
Our lives should be made up of work
and play, but there is where we must
hit a happy medium or get a balance be
tween the two. I realize that there are
^me of us who work or study too much,
xes, I say this is possible. A certain
amount of work is necessary and re-
quired in school, but this cannot be done
efBcientiy and properly unless there is
a variation in the day’s schedule. Don’t
you realize that all study and no recrea-
tion only dulls your wits and prolongs
the time required for the preparation
of your lessons. That is one reason for
our havmg sports and other extra
curricular activities. Probably I have
made an error in speaking of these ac
tivities as play, for they aren’t play;
they are work, and oftentimes they are
hard work. However, I have called
^em this so as to designate between
nijjlily mental work and more or less
mixed mental and physical labor. Per
haps you say you haven’t time to study
other thinjrs, but you have.
Other people have done it and so can
you. Whether you know it or not, you
iirii missMiur Homethint' that i:j vitally
important in school life. You come to
school to grow and develop not only
mentally but physically and socially as
well. There is no better way to meet,
under-stand. and make friends than by
phiyinjr iiame.s and entering other ac
tivities with them. Who wants a book
worm for a friend? By this I mean a
person who won’t take her head out of
H book lon^r to share ex peri-
encea with others. In later life you
aren’t going to be able to isolate your
self.
I diin’t think I have to .say .so much
to the girl that plays too much, be-
cau.>«i:i It is too evident without beinc
mentioned. We still have such re-
minders as grade.s. I admire you for
wanting to Iju a )iart of everything, but
as evei-yihiiijr else, this can be carried
too fur. Remember, it is possible to
neglect your intellectual development,
and tlioi'f yt>Li are one-sided. You know
yourself bolter than any one else knows
you; you know how big a .job you are
capable of handling, and so why not be
honest with your.self, and set your
limits. Those coiir.ses aren’t as hard
and uninteresting as you think, if you
will only spenil more time with them.
Why do you think we have cla.sses at
collego? Why do you think we have
other activities and organizations at
school? They are to make you a well-
rounded personality. Just remember
thi.s before taking anyone phase in too
big a dose.
We Resolve!
Do you make resolutions? Are you
one of those persons who make licw
resolutions at the beginning of each
new year or new school year? If not
let’s just try it this year. I think one
of our greatest faults is what we know
to be “griping.” We all come back to
school in the fall, bubbling over with
cheerfulness, but with the first little
difficulty that arises, we are ready to
fuss. This doesn’t help matters any,
and it only makes us a nuisance and
bore to other people. We haven’t any
more troubles than the other girls, and
they won’t enjoy hearing us talk
about them. It would be some different
THE TWIG
if we only griped about true difficulties,
but this habit of fussing is so easily ac
quired that before we realize it, we are
griping about any little matter that
may arise.
Let’s resolve this year to try to not
cultivate this habit, and see If we don’t
feel better, have more friends, and en
joy being with others more. I think It
will make all the difference iii the world
in our general outlook on life. Are you
willing to give this resolution a try
this year?
THE STUDENT SPEAKS
Dkaii Editor:
I wonder it the other girls are enjoying wltli
me tlie new appearance of tUe campus this
ycai', I wonder it they have noticed the at
tractiveness of the grassy slope running along
In front of the niiislc and class buildings. To
me, tills Is the greatest Improvement on the
campus, I really think It gives one a dlltereDt
feeling to have an attractive spot to walk along
or by while going to and from classes.
What I am concerned with now. Is whether
this plot Is going to be mowed all winter or
whether It is going to be allowed to grow up
Into weeds as formerly. I do hope It will be
kept as It Is. I believe the other students
will agree with me in this wish.
A Student.
De.\r Editor;
A toast we offer to our most charming dining
room hostess! Our sleepy eyes are opened by
her cheerful face and bright "Good morning.”
We love our individual milk bottles and ce
reals. Three cheers for the oysters and lemon
pie. Hip. hip. hurrah, for the steaks and
creamed potatoesf
Our parents, brothers, sisters, beaus, and
friends are delighted at her cordial reception!
Come on girls, let’s cooperate and make our
dining hours, happy hours, reflecting the cul
ture and poise of our hostess!
Mary e. Foster.
ONE MORE WORD
The Stee-Gees have you covered again, so
just hold on until we get through with one
more word.
The rush and disorder of the beginning of
school is about over now and we’re at last
having to settle down to work. Some of us.
however, seem not to be able to settle down
at all and especially during quiet hours. In
case some of us upperclassmen have forgotten,
we still observe quiet hour from 7:30 to 10:00
on week nights and on Sunday afternoon from
2:00 to 4:00. Of course it would be a lot more
convenient for us personally to be able to
holler up to the other end of the hall to our
friend. That is one way you know how to
ftnd out what our friend Is going to wear,
where she is going, and whom she has heard
from in the last week, but we must remember
that the other forty-six girls on that hall are
not interested In all of this—nor do they have
time to hear all of this; so please, let’s all
of us think about the other person and not
annoy others because it Is more convenient
for us. This little suggestion not only applies
to noise but to all the little careless things we
slip up on.
We have just one more word for you today!
Ignoriincc you know Is not an excuse for anything
in college, handbook rules are not excluded
neither are bulletin board announcements- This
Is just a hint to the wise to memorize that
handbook—from klver to klver. After all we
made Ihese rules and its up to us to know
them, abide by them, and stand up for them.
While we hiivo them we’vo got to go by ihom
even If some of our little personal affairs don't
exactly flt In with them! We can see it in
letters "writ large" If we will. For the sake
of Meredith is a much broader conception than
for the sake of Mary!

Takes and Mistakes
•I—.4.
By Lytton Tikoi.ky
Well, another woek-end’a gone by! I guess
what I feel is juat the hangover—Any how,
some gii'ts really hart a swell time going to
football games, but I honestly enjoyed going
home mure. So did some others. Wonder
why? ?????’ '9
Here’s a lltUe poem that could easily be ap
plied hei'c;
It Is a little freshman
And she stopped one of three
la she u senior, junior, soph?
(The child can’t toll, you see).
But she might risk a word or two
So ahe subdues her fear
"Are you a freshman now. like me?”
“No, I’m a toucher dear.”
—Alabartiian, '31.
TIME MARCHES ON
■‘Five hundred years ago today
A wiUleriiesa was here;
A man with powder in his gun
Wont forth to kill a deer.
But now Uie times hove changed somewhat
Along a different plan,
A dear with powder on her nose
Goes out to hunt a man.”
—The Ueleor.
QUALIFICATIONS FOU A GOOD DATD3
(From The Auburn f/aijtsman)
Doesn’t eat much, cute, doesn’t eat much,
can talk, but doesn’t so much, doesn’t eat
much. Can dance, doesn’t eat much, has a
cute figure, doesn’t have much appetite. Guess
I don’t qualify!
Suzzy Snoop
Says...
Well, girls, this Suzy Snoop Job
Is really fun. Ail you have to do
is to approach some lucky (7) vie
tim and with a considerable
amount of dignity say, "I'm Suzy
Snoop of the Twin. I’d like to know
the name of ycrtir latest heart-
throb.” The girl obligingly re
piles, while I thank her and run
straight to the Twio. That’s not
bad coCperation, Is it? I just want

thank you girls for your kind co
operation!
Have you heard the latest about

this Allan fellow, while his sister,
Martha Ann. wasn’t doing bad the
other night In the parlors. Wiio Is
he, Martha? •
Somebody ask Julia Margaret

the cute freshman from Garner.
Emmogene and Dwanda aren't do

they tell me! And Beverly Ann.

Well, the freshmen aren’t the

On September 26 the Colton Eng
lish Club held its first monthly
meeting for the new year. The In
formal gathering was held in the
new browsing room and the pro
gram centered around the room It
self.
Catherine Chiffelle gave a brief
history of the Meredith browsing
room, which has been named In
honor of Dr. Julia Hamlet Harris.
The browsing room was instigated
by last year’s president, Nora Bin
der, with the help of Dr. Harris.
The room Is on the second floor of
A Dormitory and has been painted
and supplied with book shelves.
Catherine enumerated the contribu
tions of faculty members and
others to the room.
The faculty as a group contrib
uted thirty-one dollars, and the stu
dents os a group gave twelve dol
lars. Miss Anna May Baker gave
eight dollars; Miss Mary Louise
Porter gave a year’s subscription of
the National historical Magazine;
Miss Marian T. Ball gave an easy
chair; Miss Ethel B. English has
promised a reading lamp; Dr. Car
lyle Campbell presented the club
with its first book: Miss Nora
Kelly, Dr. Julia H. Harris, Betty
Brown MacMillan, Nora Binder,
and Carolyn Andrews also donated
books; Wilcox and Follett Com
pany gave six dollars; the Mere
dith Library contributed a set of
encyclopedias and the Art Depart
ment has promised some pictures.
Tho primary purpose of the
browsing room is to stimulate In
terest in reading by supplying a
pleasant place filled with a variety
of good books and magazines.
After Catherine’s talk, the presi
dent, Marietta Price, called for dis
cussion of the room and sugges
tions for Its improvement. Many
of the members promised to lend
books to the club during the year,
and others offered to ask outsiders
for books or money. Someone sug
gested that wo give recognition to
those who have already aided the
club In its project In tho immedi
ate future. Dr, Harris described
the beautiful browsing rooms at
Yale and other colleges as an In
spiration to the Meredith English
Club.
Tho chib hold Its usual afior din
ner coffee before the pfogram. The
president Introduced tho various
ofilcers and appointed several com
mittees to attend to the browsing
room. Dr, Julia Harris, Dr, Mary
Lynch Johnson, and Miss Mary
James Spruill attended.
Rev. E. Olive
Chapel Quest
Rev. E. Olive New Pastor of
W. F. Church; His Speech
Theme, “Knowledge of
Future”
On Thursday morning, Oct, 3,
the chapel service was conducted
by a guest speaker. Rev. Eugene
Olive, who came only last month
to accept the pastorate at the Wake
Forest Baptist Church. He is not
a stranger, however, to many at
Meredith, being related by mar
rlage to our own president. Dr.
Carlyle Campbell, and to those who
did not know him before and beard
him speak In chapel, he has ceased
to be a stranger.
He spoke of the past as a guide
to the future. "Our only trust
worthy eyes,” he said, “are those
in the back of our head. We’re
blind to what lies ahead. No his
tory was ever written of the future,
except that by Wells, but even Mr.
Wells can only guess at the future.
No one knows for sure of the mor
row; past experience Is the only
basis man has for the future.
’In the crisis In the world to
day, we are most anxious about
the future. We wonder If we're
going to war, when the conflict
will end, and what the outcome
will be. We, today, can appreciate
the feeling of tho people of old
when released from bondage in
Bobylon said, "We were born here,
and don’t know what faces us If
we return. We’re satisfied, there
fore. to stay liere.’’
The Rev, E3. Olive cited the exam
ple of the young man who, when
sentenced to be shot In a South
American camp, died a "thousand
deaths” before his actual death.
Tho onffcijjalfon was as bad It not
worse, than the happening.
As a climaxing answer to our
troubled minds, the Rev. E. Olive
offered the strong hand of God as
a guide along a safer path. “We
can’t know the future,” he said,
“but we can know God, and listen
lo his golden promise — "i will
bring, I will lend, I will save.”
There Is no map of life, hut the
child of God has a known gulde.
For the King of England, facing
iin uncertain future for his far
flung empire, there Is a guide In
God.
With this story, the Rev. E. Olive
concluded his remarks: "a young
man stood at tho gate of a new
year, and asked the keeper of the
gate for a light to guide his steps
into the unknown future. To his
request, the keeper replied, ‘Go
out Into the darkness, and put your
hand Into God’s, and It will be bet
ter than a light and safer than a
known way,’ The young man.
with the light ho sought, shining
In his eyes, said, 'I’ll lean on him
and In his strength I’m strong!'”
The faculty baa in mind to offer
advanced students an opportunity
for French conversation.
Dr* Townsend
Speaks Here
Talks on "Join the Church
Day”; Tells Why. Where
and How a Student Should
Join
In chapel Saturday, October 6,
Dr. Carl Townsend, pastor of
Hayes Barton Baptist Church,
spoke to the students on Join the
Church Day. His speech was in
the form of question and answer.
Dr. Townsend said, in answer to
the question, "Why should I join
the church?" that when you joined
the church at home you agreed, as
Is stated in the church covenant,
that should you ever leave home,
you would carry on the work of
Christ wherever you were.
In answer to “Where shall I
join the church?" Dr. Townsend
stated that there were 39 churches
attended by white people In Ra
leigh. Thus, there is quite a
choice offered.
Dr. Townsend, In answer to bis
last question, “How shall I Join?"
replied that you may either bring
your letter or become a student
affiliate. In closing, he urged that
everyone Join In either one way
br the other one of the many
churches of Raleigh.
