C., under Act of March 8, 1879. *‘Fear not ye for I know tkat ye seek Jesua, -who Iiath bcei; cruci fied, He is not here; foi* He is risen, even os He snid. Come soe the place wliere the Lord lay. And go, quickly, and tell bia disciples, He is risen from the dead; and lo He goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told yon.” Fear not.yc. Christ is still present today. At this Easter season we liave turned to Him even more fully than ever before for strength and courage. We have increased our numbers of religious rites these last few days. But has their signilicflnce also in creased ? Heretofore, Enster, to the majority of ua meant a new suit, a new pair of ahoes, a new bonnet and other new spring clothes. The war has, to some degree, changed this attitude. But the idea still persists that “I can’t go to church unless I have a new dress!” Originally, I think, new garments symbolized a re-birth. A frcsliness of spirit. And a revival of Christian nature. We, of our society, have desecrated this custom. We have made it only a syniljol of outward new life. We have lost sight of tho true glory aikI the reol meaning of the reanrrcetiou. Perhaps we can agtiin bo conscious of the bonut.v and dignity of the ope.ision, not just over the holulays, but in the days and woeks to conic. By daily com muning with God and by increasing the closc com panionship that hos been ours these last few days, we can make each day n true rcsurroctiou day. And until we do realize that Christ every day is present even as He was on that first Easter Sunday, our lives can not approach the height, depth, nnd breadth that, through God, we can reacli. Every year a group of young men representing all the stares and territories of the United States take an oath . . . “to well and faithfully disoliarge the duties of the office” they are about to enter. This particular group becomes midshipmeu in the United States Navy, Like that group, we, the present staff of Thi£ Twio took an oath of ofEce last year. There waa no oere> mony; no one spoke the oath aloud; but each of us knew in our hearts that we must “well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office.” We wore to accu rately and impartially portray news. Slightly puzzled and a little bewildered wc took over our office with some misgii-ings. Our group progressed from day to day in an understanding of The Twto. Time brought out faiilts; mistakes had to be corrected. That "wo have succeeded at all is due to the foundation on which -we based our hopes, our ideas, and our inspirations. Realizing that this is a changing world, we chose two abstract ideals—edu cation and religion. Education broadens and eu* riches our lives; religion raises our spiritual selves above the tendency to under value fine aspects of life, How' well wo have succecdod in our year’s work can be judged only by you. We are too close to our work to judge fairly. Serving you has been an ex perience—educational all the time and harassing part of the time. With these thoxights we are ready to turn The Twia, lock, stock, and barrel over to Pannie Memory and Carolyn. THB TWIO fiwudif, fioMonoL Molly Babbit’s Hutcli, Eaater Monday To all you girls who bcHeve in the Easter Bunny: Ag is the usual custom Meredith girls will be getting their full share of bunches of flowers—usually called^ corsages—for Easter. Well, girls, if you do— and I’m one to hope for you—let me give you a few words of adviccj 1. Be sure to wear the roses Mortimer sent when you date Homer ’cause maybe it will make Homer tegret that he didn’t send orchids. 2. !N’o doubt the roses still will be pretty today, so wear them to class so all your classmates and pro fessors can marvel at your popularity. 8. If you receive two bunches of posies, be sure to publicize the fact so everyone will know tliat two suckers have bit your line. 4. Also—if you arc fortunate ciiough to receive two wear one on each shoulder so you’ll be formally balanced oven though mentally luibalanecd. 5. If your I’oommatc doesn t receive one or more corsages make it plain to her that she’s a slow leak, 6. After Easter and its festivities arc over by all means preserve the dehydrated specimen so everyone will be constantly reminded of your former nbility to knock ’em cold, Rabbits remind us of Alice, chnsing Marcli ICaro Spruill into Wonderland, which the faculty presents every college generation; M-hiqh in turn reminds us of the excellent performance of dramatic art ex hibited again on April-,13which, in turn refreshes our unforgettable mempry of ye honorable faculty’s efforta to baffle the students. (Sticli nn involved and incoherent sentence as the preceding one will be, wo know, greatly “baffling” to the faculty.) Our motto is W.B.T.F. Not “We brotect the family,” but “We baffle the faculty.” Ready! Aim! lire! Why is love like a eat? Give Up? ’Cause after analysis, it’s a dead one. April 27, 1943 Why is i>erfume so enticing? Give up once more? ’Cause it says “Suivez moi”—menning “make a quick get-away”— No kiddin’, though, everyone wos at bis or her best—and I do mean best! The squabble for the microphone of Quiz Kids, Dizzy Dean and Kramer, on through to the musicians opposed interpretations of the theme song, “Suannee River”—all enlightened our insight into their reputed egotism. Orchids to you, then, dear faculty for such a stupefying (or was it stupid) entertaining, marvelous exhibition. And forgive us, please if the front page account is not quite accurate-you see the program waa so full and jumbled up it was perfectly mystifying. i Said Mollie Rabbit to Peter Rabbit—let’s dig into some good Meredith dirt: “Yamp” Jones for some reason which we haven’t been_ able to figure out ha.s suddenly sworn off men aj\d is now the man hator of the school. Bctsv ji[oMillan really lias a “zpot suit” now that a certain boy who entered the army cast off his new spring sports coat on her. B. J., next time you get ready for an 8:30 a.m. date please don’t wake up everyone in the freshman dorm. That empty seat Lendon left in tic choir. What! no tears, JCnry Frances? Bccky, do you have a monopoly ou Fairmont men? WJiat is this, Lib? We don’t get it—you on one side of the balcony and Dick on the other. Wonder why second floor Stringfield waa so quiet Sunday afternoon. Oh, that’s right—Brooks wasn’t there. Mary Cathorine Nelson, haven’t you heard that there is a war going on? Just as meat, butter, and shoes—men are scarce too, Limit yourself to one man, please. Brrrring! “Hello second floor Stringfield” , . , “Juat a minute” . . . “Mary Alice Turner! Mary Alice, that man again.” Mildren Allen, is Uncle Sam going to let William go long enough to say “I do”? It keeps us wondering too. Lib Dowell and Dot Shealey, did you get to see all of them in those few hours Sunday? “isn’t it nice that Fort Bragg is so close? “^ICathy” Clark, there’s n.o need to even say $. word— you can tell by that look, If you haven’t seen “Kathy;” wo’ll tell you about it. Ed (you know the 0;A,0.) came to Raleigh and Hamlet (mainly Raleigh) on a ten day furlough from K.P. duty. There was never a happier week for either of them. And, oh yes, the surprise! Well, we’ll keep you guessing, ’till Ed comes to 0.0. in August.
