C., under Act ot March 8, 187&. Dear Susie Short»hert: “jSTever do today what you can put off till tomorrow’’ seems to be your motto (and tliat of nearly everyone else) these days. Proernatiuation is the slyest nnd most accomplished “thief of time,” You renlize this. But procrastinator tliat you are, you put off doing something about “putting off.” “Oh, I'H do that fomorwiv!” is thc^ most frequently heard of your trite little speeches. But it never seems to dawn ou you that “today is the tomorrow you laughed at yesterday.” A week from now you have a big pavei' due. And true to form, you’ll w’ait until the Inst iniiuUe to start. This letter, Sus\e Shortshort, is to inform you that you’re the world’s vovst "putter-offer” and llint you’d better heed this ndvice nnd get busy! Sincerely yours, Susie Shortsuort. Ed. Note; The above letter ia printed at the request of quite a few campus piocrastiiiators. It , might be well if we all read it for its moral and if we all attempted to practice the helpful suggestion it scJs forth. We are proud of our Meredith College honor system. We’re p\en prouder of the iray it works. Some honor systems are honor systems in name only. Some poor council member is always having to police the premises and snoop around to keep the unmindful students in line. But here ou ouv campus, the situation is one of true democracy. We’re all innocent until found guilty. ' That is, no one goes around trying to pin something on us. We live from day to_ day in au easy freedom that is generally conducive to our cooperating with the Student Gov ernment Association. But this semester, we are apparently lax in one very important phase of our college life—Chapel. Students, if numeroiia empty seats were sufficient convicting evidence, are certaiialy not attending this required session as regularly as they are asked. Something had to be done. The Student Council discussed the matter and placed before the student body three possible procedures. We chose the plan by which ^\-e M’ould bo granted a trial period, after which time, if ■\ve had not again proved ourselves ^vorthy of the trust placed in us, the proWem would be acted upon at the discretion of the Council. Already, there has.been a marked improvement. We are again putting into practice the theories that we admire and love. Thus far, our test flight—this trial period—has been a success. But the finest thing we can do is to live each week just as if it, too, ^^'ere a test week, Then, and only then, can we really be practicing whnt we preach—a true honor system. A Student wishiny to enter the WAVES or SPARS should contact uu office of JTaval Officer Procurement located in the Healey Building, Atlanta, Gn.; 17. C. State College, Raleigh, N. C.j University of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C.; The Center, Charleston, S. C.: and lynch Bide.. Jacksonville, Fla. Applicants should obtain a certificate from the dean of the college stating that the applicant will graduate on a certain date and_ an endorsement from the com mittee. Letters are being mailed to accredited colleges explainiug the procedure and asking appointment of the committees. TJpon graduation candidates must submit tranaoripts of theii* college records and those aoceptod will be sent to Smith College for training. Those who fail to qualify will he discharged, or, if desired, transferred to enlisted status. THE TWIG iPwtabf, fieMonat Here we are again—with part of .the “cream of the crop.” The only explnnation we can give this time is Spring I Spring, the period of transition from the cold of winter to the heat of summer—and the first day was begun by a covering of white snow on the green grass and yellow flowers! Something must be said about the State Junior- Senior. The “eyes and eavs of the Morld” witnessed the ring ceremony with pride for her Alma Mater. Really, Meredith was well represented. It would take too much time (save all spare time for war work) and too much paper (be conservative) to list eveiy girl there, and anyway I might forget a couplc or so. So, please patient readers, he content with tlic I’ii'g corcmony summary. An ox-Meredith student bcgfln the rites and Xan ended it. All wc have to say ia that Willie nnd Charlie were execllent. Practice really does make perfect! Some_ of our ileredilh lasses ai’c really going around in a daze since the army has dwindled State's pack down to the present number. Poor Willa Lee nnd Loi's! But Kuhy Lee, Jlaijorie, Jessie nnd Gertrude are taking on the Air Corps cadcts over there. March 26, 1943 , Mary Lib, does that picture of the Air Corps guy help pass nway the liours? Jane, don’t forget there’s plenty of studying to do besides studying life. Even though Madge Allen says slic “doesn’t get aroimd niueh nnymovc,” she’s leaving Friday and staying ’til Wednesday—nnd from all latest reports she‘s definitely planning' to sec that ninn from Black ilountain. On Friday, Fay Chandler left scliool to prepare for the big event of April. She’s marrying that Doclor you’ve hoard so nmch about. Best wishes to you both! _ Maybe some of you saw him over licrc at the Cavo- liua Glee Club Concert, but Kathleen spcs Glen nhout every week-end. Old friends pop up and become good friends, don’t they Atinnio I.ou? for example, GeorgCi Dot, we’re going to miss seeing that blue convertible waiting for you—bot she’ll miss Thurman. IN’o matter M'hetiier it’.s “Miss Flora Bollc,” “Miss Flo,” “Mr, F. B.,” or “Miss Flossie Hewitt,” she’s really been getting some queer mail recently. She has sucli a beautiful smile that .'ihe gels false teeth impressions; she nets so funny that she gets booklets ou epileptics; she loves pet5 so much that she gets booklets on the eni'c of dogs. Really,iif this m^'stovy keeps up for long, it’ll be necessary for the “unknoM’n sender” to send a booklet on “The Mind nnd Mental .■Vdjustments.” Connie really gets tons of mail from our armed forces. Hannah Savage and Nc>rmaii still seem to be doina' O.K. ^ S.O.S.—t'rances Moore just canic in with a ring— third finger, loft hand—Incky boy! that Lieutenant fi'om Camp Davis! Best wishes Frances! Genc!vie'’c Hinton has really been having some swell week-ends visiting her brother in Wilmington. Seems like lieutenants at Camp Davis nin making life happy for ileredilh Juniors. D. Cline, what’s all this T hear al.out Rolrs cominji every other ^^’eek■end? Gj-acie is a “school marm” now( Instead of merely coining to sec her the other day, Archic came to sec wliat lipr school “children” showei'cd upon her. While John Thompson waited on ono end of the line, the recipient of the call, little I'rina Ecid, notified her floor by loud yells and numerous sonieisaults that her iiifin whs in town. When Mie recuperated and pickcd up the receiver to start her chat, she heard only the operator’s voice. Whnl could have happened to John? ^ When a inwn will come all the way from Wake Forest and wait in the parlors four long hours for Alary Katherine Nelson, it must mean something! Severn fell asleep during biology lecture and landed on the floor, thus awakening the rest of the class. There is quite a case nround—ircN’eill versus Cal- lowny—they do make a stunning oonplo. David, Connie Brunt’s friend uses his time wisely while waiting for her arrival. Wo watched him road half a book before she showed np, What kept you Connie? ’ Big Jim no longer has n “Crutch.” C’est la viol! And Watkins has definitely di'oided that it is no lunger Marney. It would be safe for us to sny that the new man might bo Sullivan, but then, this is a speedy world! We give Hoyle credit for buying the record, “Don’t get around much anymore” for the Misses Reid, Brooks, and Chiffellc. But enough’s enough—so, so long for now. ’ Little Theotre Enters Dromotic Tournoment Tlie iteredith College Littio Theatre is presenting a one act play, ‘ ‘ Finders - Keepers,' ’ by George Kelly, at the North Caro lina Dramatic Tounuiment Asso ciation, at Chapel Hill, Satiirdav night, Jfarch 27, 1043.
