FOUNDED WITH THE PURPOSE OF RENDERING SERVICE TO CHRISTIANITY AND TO HUMAN- ITY, MEREDITH, AS A DENOMINATIONAL SCHOOL, SEEKS TO CARRY OUT THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT CAME INTO BEING. DR. CARLYLE CAMPBELL A.H., M.A., 1.1 President Meredith College opened its forty-first session under the direction of its new president, Dr. Carlyle Campbell, succeeding Dr. Charles E. Brewer who resigned in 1939 after serving as president for twenty-four years. Dr. Campbell came to Meredith from the State College faculty where he was head of the Department of English. He began his career as instructor of English at Buie ' s Creek Academy, and after two years of service in the World War, taught English at Coker College, in Hartsville, South Carolina. He later served as president of that college for eleven years. Though Dr. Campbell has been at Meredith for only a year, he is admired and respected by faculty and students alike.

Treasurer The Class of ' 40 swung into being in the fall of 1936 with one hundred and eighty members, most of whom were branded by the rest of the school as being more ready and willing than able. Never to be forgotten is the first class song, which convulsed the audience with its lusty chorus of Rah! Rah! Rah! Fresh! Fresh! Fresh!, and the freshman stunt, Macbetty, which rhe class at first remembered with a shudder, but finally with affec- asylum, In A Nut Celt, won the Class of ' 40 second place, and the daisy chain turned out to be a thing of beauty, despite the general impression that the class never could and never would be able to sing together. That first place in the class song contests. The great triumphs of the junior year were the finding of the crook for the first time in seven years and the winning of first place in the stunts with a railway mystery comedy. Train Your Mind. The senior year, bringing with it the honor of winning the Palio with the Scotch costumes honoring Dr. Campbell, has found the seniors more sober and more deeply loyal to Meredith. The girls in the Class of ' 40 have found that working and playing, success and failure have made them true comrades with a fellowship to last through many years to come. iiR A V- SENIOR Lottie Ruth Allex bliknm.evei., n. c.

Winners of the Palio in the years ' 37 and ' 38, and winning second place in the stunts their sophomore year, the juniors have made their own mark on Meredith history. Perhaps they have made a lasting contribution to the Meredith tradition in the Red Devil song, composed and sung by them on Soph Day Off last year, when it was decided that that day should not be one set aside to heckle freshmen but rather to promote a better spirit between classes. In many ways, all of which cannot be immediately recognized, the junior class has proved worthy of joining the numbers who sing These Bones Gonna Rise Again.

Ever since the Class of ' 42 entered Meredith, people have been saying, Watch them. They ' ll go places. And they ' re out to prove that they ' ll do it by hanging together. Last year, as freshmen, they turned out loyally when their big sisters were crooking, and on the fateful night of March 27 when the crcok was discovered, there was a goodly force of them on hand to take part in the celebra- tion. At the breakfast which they gave the juniors, ' tis said that everyone had such a good time and ate so much that classes were definitely hard to attend. These Sophs have plenty of class spirit which is fast turning into Meredith spirit. SOPHOMORE CLASS Ruth Adams AsNE Barrow Rebecca Beddinohei.d Doris Jane Bordeaux Fran-ces Buchanan Margaret K.

NOT ONLY ARE THERE CLUBS WHICH OFFER A SUPPLEMENT TO CLASSROOM V ORK, BUT THERE ARE HONOR SOCIETIES WHICH RECOGNIZE SCHOLARSHIP AND LEADERSHIP, LITERARY SOCIETIES WHICH FOSTER CULTURAL AND SOCIAL INTERESTS, AND ATHLETICS WHICH FURTHER THE AIM OF THE NEED OF A STRONG BODY WITH A STRONG MIND. . STUDENT GOVERNMENT Dorothy Green President of SluJeiil Government Our aim for Student Government at Meredith is to have a system in which every member of the student body feels that hers is a definite part in making our life here richer and fuller, worthy of the respect of everyone and of our lasting love and loyalty. The honor system is based o n the fact that each girl realizes that she not only follows the rules made to regulate our association here but that she also influences others to do likewise. Above all things we would emphasize the principles of honesty and unselfishness in our living, along with the development of a spirit of co-operation among all groups on cur campus. We realize that new girls who come to our campus have difficulty in adjust- ing themselves to our ideals in Student Government and to college life in general. So this year we have tried a scheme whereby each freshman has as a guide an old girl, chosen because of general excellence of character and leadership, to direct her and help her during her first year at Meredith. We know that the student body is coming to feel more certainly the true significance of the honor system, and we hope that the community life which arises from hearty co-operation with the ideals and principles of real Student Government will send out girls of whom Meredith can be more and more proud.
