JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS ADDIE DAVIS President MARY ELIZABETH COLEMAN Vice-President ALICE JUSTICE Secretary DOROTHY LANE Treasurer The Class of 1942 can remember with amusement the time when they, two hundred and seven scared httle girls, descended on this campus. They soon got over their fright and turned out to help their big sisters find the crook. They scored a triumph in 1939 when they were awarded the coveted Stunt Cup. This same year they all came out to carry the daisy chain for their big sisters. This year all the members knew that they had a hard year ahead because they nad the crook to hunt for, and they had little sisters of their own to help get acquainted with the life here, hlowever, they truly made their mark at Meredith when they again won the Stunt Cup, and this time the palio, also. Now they can well afford to stop and take a look back on the past three years. They are not a class to rest on their successes, however. They are out to make 1942 an even more successful year!

Their last stunt, The Big Splash, won the enthusiastic approval of everyone because it revived the interest in Meredith ' s proposed swimnning pool. As freshmen, members of the class proved themselves such successes socially that long after the night of entertainment people were still talking about their plantation party. During this year.

In the palio with their gold and purple cheering section they marched off with second place. Also they took the cup for the horse race, and their stunt was one of which they were justly proud. They think their big sisters are the best, and are looking forward to being upperclassmen themselves.

President The purpose of the Meredith Student Govern- ment Association is to promote for each student a college life which is motivated by highest honor, mutual respect, love, and kindness in all the phases of life on the campus. The Student Government Association Is built on these ideals of honesty and loyalty and strives always to de- velop these qualities in every member of the association. The regulations which are upheld and fostered are made by the students themselves in order to make life at Meredith as wholesome and un- selfish as it is possible for college life to be. Each girl is on her honor to know and to uphold these necessary regulations and to help others, who may be weaker than she, to uphold the standards expected of Meredith girls. The honor system is built on a cooperative program, a harmonious plan of living together, and a mature sense of honor in all of the major and minor dealings of life. Students here are living up to the true interpretation of Student Government when all Meredith girls with a real sense of honor are working together to make Meredith the best college possible.

Thou hast come through tribulation, and thy robe is clean and white! Thou art fairer than the summer in its bloom. Thou art born unto a kingdom, and thy crown is all of light; Thou shalt smile away the shadow and the gloom. In the paths the fields shall blossom and the desert shall rejoice. In the wilderness a living fountain spring; For th e blind shall see thy beauty, and the deaf shall hear thy voice. And the silent tongues their high hosannas sing. Where the rhododendron blushes on the burly mountain ' s breast. In the midland where the wild deer love to roam, Where the water lily slumbers while the cypress guards its rest, Lo! thy sunny land of promise and thy home. Where the sons of Carolina taught a nation to be free. And her daughters taught their brothers to be brave; O ' er a land of peaceful plenty, from the highlands to the sea. May thy banner. Alma Mater, ever wave! J C i t ti V c I i ' Sl p- }■ . i, % %t « BETTY fLEISCHMANN COLLEGE MARSHAL I!

Not again until the fall of 1944 will the faculty step from the classroom onto the stage to present with ability and clever- ness the amusing characters of Lewis Carroll ' s famous fantasy. SENIOR-SOPHOMORE STUNTS Every fall a quickening of activity about the campus and a great air of secrecy and suppressed excitement heralds the approach of the eagerly-anticipated Stunt Night, when each class presents an original stunt, complete with scenery, music, costumes, and plot (they hope). A silver loving cup, to be kept for the year, is awarded the winner on the basis of originality, presentation and ability to keep Above: A Training School for Husbands-to-be. Below: The Big Splash. JUNIOR-FRESHMAN STUNTS within the time limit set. Judges, selected by the classes and by the Athletic Asso- ciation, which sponsors Stunt Night, awarded the cup this year, for the second con- secutive time, to the class of 1942 for their stunt, hieavenly Daze.
