Because Doris did not live on the campus her first two years, most of us found it hard to become intimately acquainted with her. But after she decided to come and live on the campus at the beginning of the junior year, we discovered a modest but winning person- Voca Dor be in teaching English, hut ider i ill not be of THE OAK LEAVES DORIS BAIIEY A.B.

She has a way with Wake Forest boys that many of us are almost inclined to envy. But such a characteristic does not mean that she cannot do well with other types of work, for she has shown this in her volunteer work in the Baptist Student Union.

We wish you could have been with us all four years, May- belle. You impress us with your poise and self-control, and we think how much your sincen and yet tactful manner will aid in your teaching. There are those of us who wonder, May belle, if there is any significance in thf fact that in your senior year you spent your leisure time doing fancy work.

You didn ' t enter Meredith until your junior year, but it didn ' t take us long to learn that you are attractive, fun- loving, jnd modern, and that you have along with all your other good qualities a great deal of common sense. We remember too that a frequent visitor to the college parlors realizes these qualities also. It ' s been fun knowing you, Edith. THE OAK LEAVES MINNIE BROOKS GREENVILLE, N. C.

From the first we knew that she, with her natural manner, fitted into our life at Meredith. She has, too, a delight in which few of those of the class of ' 35 can participate — she enjoys delving into the mys- teries of mathematics. SENIOR ALICE ROSY BRYAN GARNER, N. C. A.B.

Vernie might wonder how we found out this about her, but sincerity is a trait that one does not conceal. If Vernie didn ' t know the name of a Shakespeare character or didn ' t enjoy one of Shakespeare ' s Histories, she didn ' t seek to hide the error or the opinion. None of those who know Yemie can fail to realize that she recognizes the importance of developing her social nature; there are few- times when she does not have time for a chat with a friend. Norine, your slant on life seems differ from that of most of us. You enter i everything you do with your whole beii That ' s one reason why we admire you much. And that amused smile that greets when we dash to the Bee Hive for an cream cone, we can never forget. THE OAK LEAVES N I O R Virginia! The very name of that state con- jures in our minds thoughts of Margaret — a busy, hurrying, friendly, kind, and inquiring person. We have learned, after you have been with us a while, that life to you is a glorious, exciting game. We ' re reminded that part of the game this year was a week-end at Georgia Tec. Because of your precise- ness, your deliberateness, Margaret, you have made a success of vour work here. Peace Ju, lations C SARAH COLEMAN RALEIGH, N. C.

We are sure that she will do outstanding work as .1 social worker. We have seen a sample of her work in her activities in the Interna- tional Relations Club. Her adjusting her work in transferring from another college here is evidence of her adaptable nature. THE OAK LEAVES CLASS LOUISE CORRELL RALEIGH, N. C. B.M.

It is hard to give a word-portrait of Evelyn. She is a personality to be studied. With her interests, both broad and deep in social, intel- lectual, and religious life, she has taken some- thing with her after her four years in college by which to continue her education.

Wake Forest awakened one morning to find one of its most valuable young women gone, and Meredith awakened to find that young woman in her midst. The girl was none other than Margaret Davis. Now everyone says of Margaret hut we can ' t describe her without mentioning her undaunted smile. Perhaps her smile helped to win her a place in the Senior Superlatives!

Garnett rides out to Meredith every morning, since graduating from Peace and living in the same city with this college is not enough to satisfy her intellectual curiosity. And you seem to bring with you a bit of sunshine and a breath of joyousness, Garnett. We can see you fitting into the role of an elementary- teacher with a great deal of success! Carry your love of fun and sense of humor on to others, whatever you choose. Quietly and deliberately Marion has gone about her work and has accomplished it well. We do not know what she is planning to do, now that this glorious adventure of college is over, but we do know that she ' ll succeed in being whatever she decides to be, whether it is school-marm, business woman, or some- thing else.

All who know her agree that her interests are many and varied — social, intel- lectual, and domestic. With these interests and .ith her own personality she has at- tracted many friends, although she has not lived at the college. Her work in the Home Economics Department has proved her most capable.

May we present Miss Hazel Faulkner, our cheer leader this year. This title has a deeper significance than one would realize, more than just an office, for Hazel is really a cheer leader in our class. Hazel, you are always ready for fun. There is always an idea in the back of your head for some- thing to do that will raise the spirits of the crowd.

Bert certainly deserves her reputation for be- ing the most original girl in our class. She delights in pranks which puzzle and tease her chums. We are compelled to say, however, that her original nature succeeds in charming everyone. Whenever we see her, she always has to finish a book of poems, write a paper, make a poster, or do a little sketching. In spite of this, she is always ready for fun. A.B. EVELYN FOWLF.R TABOR, N. C.

Evelyn is one of those persons who is so quiet that one would never know she was busy if her achievements did not speak so well for her. In a simple statement, we may say that Evelyn has proved her worth, and not exag- gerate at all. In her calm manner there are frankness and a sincerity that will surely lead her toward a life of influence and suc- cess.

Gladys didn ' t come to us until after she had begun her college career. But we didn ' t need even two years to learn that Gladys has a personality we will always remember. Al- ways cheerful and friendly, always gay and happy— that is Gladys! Then, too, Gladys can do what few of us can, burrow into a math problem and find real joy in the do- ing. Not only has Gladys a great interest in mathematics, hut she is endowed with the gift of being a true friend. Her careful judg- ment and her deeply rooted, bubbling sense of humor have not only helped to drive away our blues but have caused us to hold her high in our admiration. Sarah is another girl who came to us from Mars Hill College. From the day she arrived at Meredith she has done faithful and per- sistent work in our Baptist Student Union and is one of the girls who attended the conven- tion out in Memphis this year. We hear that there they not only got a lot of work done but had a good time too.

It is unnecessary to remind you what this has meant to her. Yes, we agree with you that she is socially minded. No wonder she possesses an ever present gift of pep and vitality. Caroline ' s support of so- cial affairs carries with it the ability to do other types of work with little effort. What argues most for her future — we hear she is an extremely capable biologist.

We suggest that you keep your manner of looking at the happy side of every We have several members of our class who are rather quiet and reserved, but of none of those have we learned more than of Mary Lee. Mary Lee has an easy-going nature which makes her easy to get along with. She is active and persevering in her every undertaking — and this spirit has been partic- ularly evident in her class work.

Mozelle is one of those whom we have known for only two vcars, but one who has become one of us. Mozelle is blessed with charac- teristics that make us all take notice. She has a gracious manner, a kind diposition, a persistent spirit, and a sincere heart. We suppose Mozelle will become a teacher. At any rate we must add, anyone with her atti- tude just has to get along. SENIOR FLORA ELLEN HUFFMAN CONNELLY SPRINCS, X. C.

Sometimes a person ' s manner tells us a great deal about her — and this is true of Flora. She is always hurrying — and her objective tells ns something about her. If you have noticed, she is usually going toward the Home Economics lab. And Flora is one of those enthusiastic persons who works while she wnrks but when time comes for playing she can certainly play.

Many of us get a great deal from college, but few of us achieve as much as Charlotte in four years. We have missed having you on the campus our last year, Charlotte, but we marvel at the ease with which you can manage your academic and domestic work. We wish you happiness and success!

But we will remem- ber you for something else, too. There ' s nothing artificial about you. You have penned in our mind the memory of a friendly, kind, considerate, and yet candid personality.

A distinctively feminine individual is Jean. She even has a quality of voice that few modern girls have. And then there is some- thing about her that we just can ' t explain. It is something of that mystery about a per- son who is of an attractive but unusually deep nature. Jean has a keen intellect. We like you, too, Jean, because when you believe in anything you carry it to a finish. I f a MAYE LEDFORD GLENN ALPINE, N. C. Mars Hill College, 1, 2; Mars Hill Club, 3, 4 ; B. Y. P. U.

By dark methods The Oak Leaves has been able to get these thoughts from one of her friends: Within the last two years, she has given the ' death blow ' to several masculine hearts at Mars Hill and Wake Forest.

An easy-going, unassuming nature was added to our class when Miriam registered in 1933. In the two years that Miriam has been with us, her genial personality has placed her high in the esteem of the members of our class. We can think of several appropriate titles for her, but the one most appropriate is Telephone Miriam. Many of the fresh- men have asked that Miiiam Mohn be pointed out to them because there is always a notice for her to call State College. It was on a bright and sunny day in Sep- tember in the year 1933, that Laura quietly stepped up on the loggia and became a part of our class. Laura has the capacity and faculty for hard work. No favor can seem too big for her to grant. The unemployment question should never bother you, Laura, for you have quietly accomplished your work, and we know that such persistence and effi- ciencv mean success.

Margaret ' s friends tell us that she is imbued with the love of sewing — and her love of it has led to pro- ficiency.

Besides your musical talent, you are one of those rare persons — a sympa- thetic listener. Your place in the Senior Su- perlatives is proof enough of vour popularitv, Jo.

But this is always an unnecessary question, for we know that most of the evenings will find her going in the direction of the senior parlor. She finds time for an eager interest in varied activities. There have been few of the music recitals or concerts at which Lib has not been present.

Yes, sophisticated to her very fingertips — that is Stuart. She is always calm and collected through the most terrific college storms. When most of us are frantic about something, when we are biting our nails in a frenzy, she plac- idly elevates her eyebrows, yawns, shruggs her shoulders, and calmly goes her way.

Four years ago on a day in September a cer- tain girl left her home in the mountains and headed east — to Meredith. That girl was Meredith Whitaker. Meredith, you ' ve always been frank and candid in your views and we admire you for it. We know that under vour outer cover of indifference is a vital interest in anything that lies close to the wel- fare of our class. And, the class of ' 35 wishes you the best of luck! May we introduce to you Undine Weeks from Enfield. She began with us our fresh- man year and endured all the delightful tor- tures and pains that went with our first years.

THE OAK LEAVES FROM A JUNIOR ' S DIARY September 30 — There is always a certain thrill about returning to Meredith, no matter how grand the vacation has been. But this year I had a new thrill — a thrill in the form of a Little Sister . ... I hope the Freshmen enjoyed the circus party we gave them half as much as we did. I ' m sure they ' re going to like the president we selected. October 21 — October is like a calm after the storm. We always begin getting down to work after two continuous weeks of grumbling about the worst schedule anyone ever had. . . . Decision Day was almost as exciting this year as it was our fresh- man year, for our Little Sisters had to decide the Great Question. To be or not to be? Phi or Astro? Purple or Gold? November 30 — The calm was short lived, for the Event of events, the Day of days came with all of its thrills and joys, hopes and disappointments. . . . Yes, we lost the stunt cup again — but don ' t think I ' m bragging when I say, I still think it was a good stunt. But that ' s the way with Puppet Lore, it never seems half so good to anyone else as to the participants. December 31 — This has been one month when all thoughts have been as one. The beauty of the Christmas Concert and the fun of caroling at 5:00 a.m., just added to the big thrill of — Christmas Holidays and Home! January 31 — The worst of it is, now that I ' m back, I can ' t seem to remember I ' ve ever been away. The only bit of silver in my sky is that exams are over, and it ' s four long months before we have them again. February 28 — Basketball was especially good this year, but I know the game the Juniors will never forget was the one with our Little Sisters. What a scare they gave us. One more point and they would have ruined that perfect record of ours. March 31 — Excitement and curiosity run hand in hand when it comes to student elections — especially when the major officers come from one ' s own class. It makes me realize the years are passing, even though the days are long. April 30 — Well, we had our try at a Junior-Senior banquet. Next year we ' ll be able to appreciate the one given us — what time we didn ' t spend in preparing for this occasion, we spent in the darkest corners of the campus with a flashlight. . . . Yes, just doing a little detective work on the side. Where is that crook? May — And now our Junior year is drawing to a close. Commencement is almost here. When next we enter these walls, we ' ll be Seniors! . . . And our Junior year will always be accompanied by the past tense.

A stuffed form, an axe, a rose trellis, an anemic looking pulpit, and a rusty lantern were strown around. Herman Beanblossom nervously wiped off his mustache and started an- other, making Paw Daniels hold the mirror for him at a bewitching angle. Maw Spudds ungracefully whipped up her skirts and ran down the steps telling everybody you couldn ' t see she was barefooted anyway so why couldn ' t she wear shoes? Three of the Dancers, one String Bander, and Sound Effects helped each other haul out the churn, put up curtains, and build the back-doorsteps. Everybody else dashed around and asked how long before we ' d start and did somebody get the bicycle? Eudora bustled around cheerfully swallowing hair pins and the last portion of the one copy of the Stunt whilst she assisted Pearly Buttons in arranging her anatomy — or something. Uncle Zeke and the Gossips made a lot of noise moving the house and a few trees. A restless uneasiness came upon everybody. Why didn ' t we begin? The curtain rose. People backstage prayed. Big Boy Beanblossom beat his chest and breathed with vigor. Eudora dug her toe in the ground. Maw Spudd was very convincing in her argument for the new-fangled contraption the city slicker brought. Paw Spudd spat. (With soun d effects!) The square dance went with gusto! Uncle Zeke called the figures. Paw Daniels brought his shotgun, but his anger was appeased by being sold a bustle for his own Pearly Buttons. Eudora was at last off to New York on the bicycle — built-for-two with Herman, who represented Ketch ' Em, Bind ' Em, and Hold ' Em Bustle Mfg. Co., and there always to live happily. It was hard to believe the Stunt was over! The worst thing was the suspense at the presentation! Everybody tried to prepare herself by saying over and over again, Oh, we didn ' t win! but a hopefulness still kept oozing out. And then — and then it was over! The man had finished his speech and Sue had gone down to receive the cup! The Sophomores had won!

Sit down, both of you, and Freshman in catalogue, Frt tone of great h. Music and S _J reshman, said the Gryphon, this he of your class, she do. I ' ll tell it to her, said the freshman don ' t speak a word until I ' ve finished. So they sat down and the Freshman began to talk immediately. Once, said the Freshman with a chuckle, we were real personages, seniors high school. We went to school on week days, but never on Saturdays, and then came off to college. I ' ve been to college, too, said the Gryphon. You needn ' t be so proud of that. With extras? said the Freshman a little anxiously. Certainly. And dating? Certainly not, said the Gryphon indignantly. Then yours wasn ' t really a good school, said the relief. Now at Meredith they have at the end of the dating, extra. You couldn ' t have wanted it much, said the reporter. I couldn ' t afford it so I took only the main course. At the beginning of the year we had two hard lessons — Matriculation and Handbooks, and we had to learn a long poem called All Five Verses of the Alma Mater. Those were very hard. It was all very puzzling anyway. On classes we had to keep reminding ourselves that we had really had the best of education in high school, and trying to remember the things we used to know. For instance, in that class where we studied Carlyle ' s Heroes and Hero Worship, the teacher kept saying, ' What ' s the use of repeating that stuff if you can ' t explain it as you go along? ' You ' d ought to have been ashamed of yourself for being so simple, growled the Gryphon in a very superior manner. I ' m not simple now! When I don ' t know the lesson I just say, ' Of course, of course, I was just going to remark that myself, that makes me — ' That ' s enough about lessons, the Gryphon interrupted in a very decided tone. Tell her about games now. There was one we played that was fun for the enemies. It was called Soph Day Off. The Sophomores could make us do anything they wanted us to, so we had to wear everything backwards — even our hats, and we had to brush our teeth on the dining hall porch and admit that we were worms. Everybody yelled and I never was so ordered about in my life — never! Oh, didn ' t you ever win and get to do some ordering? asked the Gryphon curiously. Oh, surely we — Suddenly the sound of the dinner bell was heard in the distance and without waiting for the slightly confused freshman to finish her sentence, the Gryphon took the reporter bv the hand and hurried off. orking in her garden was one or Dr. v_arroll s favorite recreations. •:•• •:- ORB A ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ Catherine Mason Moseley President S T U GOVE D E R N M N E N THE OAK LEAVES 9 A - r STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION Reba Parker Vice-President Ann Bradsher Secretary Frances Calloway Treasurer Loretta Nichols House President Thelma Mussinan House President Luna Jackson House President Pearl Robertson House President Elizabeth Jacobs House Vice-President Nancy Allen House Vice-President Mary McClea.n owe Vice-President Ruby Barrett Sophomore Repn Jennie Reid Nevvby Freshman Representativt THE OAK LEAVES NOMINATING COMMITTEE Catherine Moseley Cornelia Atkins Sue Brewer Margaret Davis Elberta Foster Elizabeth Lee Mae Marshburn Reba Parker Inez Poe Elizabeth Poplin Norma Rose Mary Ruffin Kate Mills Suitor Stuart Weatherspoon Dr. Mary Lynch Johnson Miss Caroline Biggers Miss Virginia Branch Dr. Julia Hamlet Harr ' s l THE OAK LEAVES a f) of f Abernathv Covington Bryan APTIST STUDENT COUNCIL THE OAK LEAVES BAPTIST STUDENT COUNCIL Officers Elizabeth Lee President Bertha Mae Stroud First Vice-President Dorothy Dockery Second Vice-President Ruth Tucker Third Vice-President Virginia Rollins Secretary Louise Paschai Treasurer Ruth Abernathv Poster Chairman Kate Covington Reporter I?.

ATHLETICS THE OAK LEAVES M, Lany changes in the organization of the Athletic Association have taken place during the year 1934- ' 35. The Association has as leaders not only the major officers but fourteen other students who direct the different sports and activities. This combined group forms the athletic board. The activ- ities have been planned so that girls are able to participate in all types of sports. A strong interest in the class team and varsity team, as well as in individual ability, has been characteristic of the year ' s work. Hockey, bas- ketball, baseball, and tennis constitute the major sports; soccer, golf, ping- pong, bicycling, swimming, and hiking, the minor sports. Every year there is, between the classes, wholesome fun in the struggle for the hockey and basketball cups; and each year there is a growth of class spirit in preparation for the annual stunt night sponsored by the Associa- tion. This year, especially, keen competition and class spirit have been shown in the contest for each of these awards. The Association also recog- nizes individual ability, as well as group cooperation by presenting a mono- gram to the girl who has earned eight hundred points by participating in the various sports. A hockey stick is awarded by the Junior Class to the best all-round hockey player of the Freshman team; small loving cups are presented to the girls winning the team ' s championships in singles and doubles; and the Victory Trophy is presented to Meredith ' s best all round sp orts woman. During the past vear, the Athletic Association became a member of the United States Field Hockey Association and the Athletic Federation of Col- lege Women. The Meredith Athletic Association was represented at the sectional meeting of the latter organization held in Greensboro, North Car- olina, during March 21-23. In November, about twenty-six of the girls attended the Playday Program at the University of North Carolina. The rain, on this particular day, caused a change in the program; however, every- one enjoyed the novel experience! Viewing the preceding years of athletic work at Meredith, we see that steps of growth and progress have marked each year. It is the desire of all who have had a part in this development to see progress continue!

The freshmen had thirty-four out at the beginning of the season, the sophomores had sixteen, the juniors had twelve, alas, alack, the seniors had no hockey team! Harriet Rose was awarded a hockey stick by the junior class as being the most outstanding freshman player. The sophomores won the championship, 2-1. BASEBALL Batter up! That ' s the word that gives us a thrill in the spring. Nothing makes us feel better than to make a home run on a sunny afternoon, even though it is hot! Baseball, on the campus this year, was a live wire. BASKETBALL Teams — teams — teams — and all of them basketball! Class, so- ciety, dormitory, town girls, fac- ulty and even fat girls ' and thin girls ' teams had to be organized to take care of all who, this year, felt the urge to shoot a goal or two. The choosing of the reg- ular varsity team at the end of the season brought to a close one of the most successful years of basketball at Meredith. TENNIS Good courts and a good coach! Nothing more was needed to make the girls reach for their tennis racquets. And how they used them! The champions had to down some mighty stiff com- petition before they got those cups for keeps. SOCCER Rah, for Soccer! Only those girls participated who made neither hockey nor basketball varsity squads. This was our first attempt at this sport and in- terest was in the boom! (You see, it ' s the nearest girls can get to football!) THE OAK LEAVES MANAGERS ' auline Davis Lucille Davis Mildred Eaton ' Golf Manager Hoi Nina Bender Swimming Manager sehack Riding Manager Willene Yost Archery Manager Minor Spoils Managi GOLF Golf — our infant sport! But, as becomes an infant, entirely live- ly! Every girl who so desired was given golf instructions, and we modestly assert that those who did would do honor to the most snobbish of country clubs ' links. SWIMMING Those unbearably hot schooldays in early fall and late spring found us diving into the clear, cold water at Carroll ' s pool. What a relief from dull lessons and scorching weather. HORSEBACK RIDING Horseback riding was enjoyed by a score of girls this year. Each Friday afternoon a group of Meredith riders was always to be found cantering along the picturesque bridle paths at Caro- lina Pines! ARCHERY As keen as the points of the ar- rows themselves was the interest shown in archery. Our team has not as yet reached the height of its fame, but we have great hopes for the future. The most prom- inent archers yet to appear are Bill Yost, Dot Prevost, and Anne Poteat! MINOR SPORTS Sports to the right of us — sports to the left of us — sports in front of us — volleyed and thundered! The minor sports this year were as numerous as they were excit- ing. With volley ball, croquet, ping-pong, bicycling, and tum- bley hiking it was practically im- possible to escape some form of recreation.
