Every New Girl
Every new girl wants to feel that she is a part of
Meredith and really helpngs, and every old girl wants
ter to feel that waj'. Take part in the activities of tlie
college and you will soon feel as if you always bc^louged.
Today is decision day and those of yon, who are here
for the first time, will join one of the societies.
Joining and having your name on the roll is one
thing; attending the meetings and taking an active
part in the society you join is another. Though joining
is important, it has no point unless you are planuing
to go to the meetings, and cai-ry out your plan. Some
of ua who have been here before do not attend meetings
regularly, and we should resolve to do better this year.
The programs are entertaining and often instructive;
they are well worth our time. We should make our two
societies real forces on the campus, and to do this every
society member is needed. Every girl who fails to do
her part weakens the society. Re an active Phi or Astro
this year!
Recently in Chapel
Recently, in chapel, we were reminded to enter
'qnieitly. However, gome of us seem to forget and 'wc con-
itiiiUQ to talk even after the last bell has rung. It is
•embarrassing to the speaker to have to stand for several
Tninn3tes before he can be heard. Those of ua who some
times forget and are talking when we got to the iiudi-
toTium arc reminded by the posters at the doors to enter
quiolfly.
^Occusionally, it may be absolutely Jieccssary to speak
:to someone at chapel time, but if it is, speak softly.
•Don’t yell across tho aislo to your room-mate.. Even
though you have to tell her something, you don’t have
to tell her in such a loud voice that girls in front of you,
behind you, and on each side of you also hear. Before
.you speak, even quietly, think twice and bo absolutely
•certain that it is essential to talk.
Not one of us would go to church or to any public
meeting and talk as much and as loudly as we do when
wo go to chapel. Let us all resolve to enter revciently
and not act as if we wove at a circus. Cliapcl will mean
much to every one of us if we will think about the i)ro-
,gram rathev than some spicy bit of gossip wc liiive just
learned (after tho bell rang).
Two of Raleigh’s
Two of lluleigh’s Baptist churches have secured aiew
pastors since wc left Meredith lust spring. Already we
have been privileged, to hear both of them. Dr. Broudus
E. Jones, pastor of the Pirst Baptist Church, spoke at
the formal opening, and Dr. Forrest Orion Mixon,
pastor of tho Tabernacle Baptist Church, recently spoke
in chapel. From time to time, dui’ing tho year, we
hear Italoigh ministers, not only of Baptist churches,
but also of churehos of iriauy other denominations,
and wo appreciate their messages. Too often we tako
their sorviecs for grunted, and fail to realize that it
takes time for these men to prepare a talk and eome to
speak to us.
We can do a little toward showing our gratitude by
attending church regularly and helping when we arc
asked. Those who can sing might join some chm'ch
choir. Others can work with children succeasfully.
Hany churches have more jobs than there are people
who are willing to take them. Why don’t wo offer our
services for the time wo arc at Meredith? We would bo
benefited and ao would the churches.
When we go to church we are the ones who are
helped, though we sometimes think of it as simply a re
quired service. Lot us attend church every Sunday and
know it i.s a privilege—it will give tho week a bettev.
start.

“Welcpmc, welcome, glad to have you”—has been
said to you new girls, and, to the old ones, it ia—“Glad
to see you back.” Xow the sound of welcome is fading
fast, and you’re beginning to feci at home, to feel like a
part of the school. You new girls may have found it
hard those first few days, but those days will always be
remembered. That struggle with suitcases, boxes,
trunks, and **stuff,” that first '‘hello” to that new girl
who you later found to be your room-mate—all these
memories will always be treasured. But, now that
you know where e^-erything is, where this class and
tliat class meets, wliere the infirmary aiul laundry arc,
und how all of these run, you’re ready for a big year.
Of course, there are still a lot of things you don^
know very much about, as, stunt, palio, pkyday, crook
ing, und numeroiis other things that people keep talk
ing about. These and many other exciting things are
the experiences in store for you. As you learn more
about Meredith, its traditions and cirls, the more you
will lore it. “
CONTEST
Do you ever have bright ideas? Ideas, either funny
or punny, for column names ^ Hero is your chance to
name a column, as you’ve longed to do, and Man a
prize to boot! Thk Twio is offering a first prize of one

fact, there wasn’t anyl

Is it M’ar, is it excitement, is it a
fad, or i.«i it that age-old thing of
which the. poets sing—namely the
grande passion f Well, whatever it
is, there’s plenty of it. The only way
to show you know the value of being
different at Meredith is not to have
something sparkling on that third
finger, left hand. And speaking of
hands, I was told by a little bird, a
Finch, to be exact, that one can be
come engaged on third finger, right
hand. Well, at least we agi'ec on
fingers!
H’mmni . , . there have been sev
eral new additions iu the way of sur
names. There’s Mrs. June Baker
Eawlins. Here’s wishing you happi-
nesa, gal—sure would like to be in
your shoes.
Another newly-wed in Jones ia
our dear “Lou.” September 18 was
tho day and Elizabeth City the place
when and where she became Mrs.
Booker. The best of everything from
us to you, Lou.
JSTever be “Hope-less,” girls. I’m
convinced that if we just Hope
Moore, we may announce “wedding
rings V things,” oh, Mrs. Zeiglor?
The freshman class seems to be
getting off to a grand start, keeping
up the morale of State froshmen by
helping them use their gas ration
coupons in blue convertibles. Any
body with man plus car! And I
thought sugar w'as rationed.
While we’re talking about morale,
we must compliment the team of
Mayfield and Gi'iggs on the wonder
ful job thoy’re doing with the Pre
flights.
Mike came homo to Betty Rose all
safe and intact but minus one prized
possession—B. R.'s picture which
sank with a submarine—lucky break
for all the little mermen.
The freshman, Helen H—(why
ean’t people have simple names like
Snoop?) brought with her a little,
sparkling token from one who is now
overseas, while M. L. Ifance models
a “small circlet of precious metal”
from Harvard—and oh them silver
bars 1
The effect of the war on clothes
hasn’t changed the beauty of Mere
dith girls (we hope), but Avhile moat
of them are longing for one more pair
of silk or nylon hose, Dot Stanley is
well satisfied with “Lyle.”
Catherine P. and Doris H. are
marking off the days until October
9, when both Gene and “Ikey” will
be here. Absence does make the heart
grow fonder, I hear.
Two other matches worth watching
for signs of flame are Martha and
Kenneth, and Brooks and the son of
a certain faculty member. They look
good to me.
Ifow we’ll drop out of the sublime
discussion of love for one last com
ment. They tell me there ia one per
son on tho campus wh-o can keep
Ruby Gri’eene quiet. Sho stayed in
Dr. Harris’ English class thirty min
utes before she could explain she be
longed in French.
If you disagi-ee with or want fur
ther information about anytliing
mentioned here, see F. M. That’s
where I get my news, becauso I
never snoop anyway—but did you
hear about tho mob of soldiera who
address letters to box 172 ?
’Byo now—a bond,
Susie.
