' ' Hmm Elizabeth Hardison Treasurer ' .  Dr. Lillian Parker Wallace Sponsor Perhaps one of the highest aspirations of a college freshman class is to be dubbed with that most distinguished title, senior. Such were the aspirations of our gawky, merry class four years ago when we stormed Meredith as the largest class in the history of the college. Despite the size of the class, we vigorous freshman had the largest percentage of our class attending Palio, and so were given the choice seats in the auditorium M Bi III Thom. s for Stunt Night. Other highlights of that first Prtsiilfiil y ' were the breakfast the Little Sisters gave their Big Sisters and the entertaining freshman play, The Bad Penny. .As sophomores we put over a frolicsome barn dance with hay, and blue jeans, and a number of good-looking men to add to the occasion. None of us will forget Class Day of that year, the early morning expedition among the daisies, and the subsequent thrill of bearing a long, white daisy chain across the Meredith campus. Stepping into the shoes of Big Sister, we played hostess to the transfer students at a coffee and again welcomed the new girls at a delightful Big Sister-Little Sister party. Swarming down as honey-bees from the Bee Hive, we carried off second place in Palio. Our stunt, On Wings of Wonder, brought top honors. The year was climaxed in the spring by the Junior-Senior Banquet, Mexican Moon-Glow. .And now we have lived through that promised year of college adulthood, the senior year. We won second place on Stunt Night for our hilarious Fish Story. The class has busied itself with responsibilities as cam- pus leaders, learning to put into practice the experience gained through the struggles, defeats, and victories of the years just past.

Even though small in size, Elizabeth Iones we have proved our ability by winning p . j J Stunt with And There Shall Be No Night. And let ' s not forget our Palio Bookworms. Remember those green worms with black legs? Even though we didn ' t achieve a victory at Palio, our class participation was in higher per- centage than that of any other class. As the first semester progressed, the sopho- mores, one by one, ti e to be exact, paid visits of arious duration to Rex Hospital. Our president and vice president were among the unfortunates, and each of the remaining forty- fi e held her breath and queried, Who ' ll be next? Spring wore on, highlighted by Easter ' acation. May Day, and Soph Day Oflf. Wherever we go every member of the Sophomore Class will rememl ier, nostalgically, the many things that made the year 47- 48 a truly remark- able one.

Marjorie Jovner Ever since our first day together here p J . at Meredith, there has come a binding class spirit which has helped us to enjoy all the experiences we ' ve shared — getting over our homesickness- — playing pranks just after light bell (our favorite hour of the night) — winning second place in Palio by freezing in doughnut costumes — slav- ing over ' our class stunt on inflation — doing research work by trying to find chaperones — looking forward to weekends and HOME! — learning to face the disappointment of an empty mailbox — gaining higher knowledge often while sitting on a cold, hard floor — lifting our voices at vespers and family altai — taking the shock of six-weeks ' grades — getting interested in State College — looking forward to more fun next year when we ' re together once more, as sophomores !

With the social acti ities under the able supervision of Miss Doris Peterson, the stu- dents and the faculty members played almost as much as they studied. At the be innins; of the session, the Social C ommittee held a picnic at the Chimney. This fimction was followed by a campus sins;, and still later by a sca -enger hunt (Mr. Martin still hasn ' t found a hydrangea leaf!). I! hA I! Under the supervision of the Baptist Student Union, espers were held each Wednesday evening at the Chimney, accompanied by a faint chiming of the bells from the State College Tower. We went to the Negro Tubercular Sanatorium one afternoon, taking the patients gifts and singing and visiting with them. The social life enabled us to meet students from other colleges. The Baptist Student Union Councils of Meredith and State College sponsored a wiener roast at Pullen Park. A Roundtable Discussion Group met weekly to discuss current problems with Turkish, 94 ISIISETEEIS FORTY-EIGHT Norwegian, and Indian as well as other stu- dents participating.

It is called Palio from the word for the banner given as the prize for a horse race between wards of the city. The custom of celebrating Palio at Mere- dith College was begun in 1935 by Miss Marian Warner, of the Physical Education Department, and Miss Ida Poteat, of the Art Department. Since that time, it has been an annual college event. Palio includes a colorful outdoor contest between classes, a parade, a horse race, singing, and much jolly nonsense. To the winning class, which this year was the Junior Class, is presented a special Meredith Palio banner, a gift of Dr. Helen Price, of the Department of Ancient Languages. 97 STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOaATION The Student Government Association is composed of tlie entire Student Body with its executive power vested in the Student Council, whose twenty-six members are elected annually. Closely associated with the student Council are the Advisory Committee, consisting of the Dean of Women and two faculty members chosen by the Council; and the Faculty Committee on Student Government, consisting of the Academic Dean, the Dean of Women, and three faculty members selected by the faculty. .Student Government endeavors to encourage cooperation, loyalty to the college, and a spirit of love and friendship among students. To learn to apply successfully the principals of honor and unselfishness to community life and to participate con- structively in the administration of the government are goals of the broader education which Student Government sets for each student.

Meinbers of the College staff assist the Coun- selors in an advisory capacity. It is the duty of each counselor to strive throughout the entire year to create in the new student a feeling, a belonging, to develop an understanding and appreci- ation of the College rules and regulations, and to counsel the individual student whenever necessary and advisable. .Ann W. llis Chlej ' Coumeto, COUNSELORS Hainet Wicialt, . nnc Boykin, Rita Bim 1 us 1 laiRc t:ai|jniiLi.

BAPTIST STUDENT UNION Ihe B.S.U. has but one goal: God predomi nant in the life of each student at Meredith. An Executive Council elected by the student lindy meets weekly to make plans to effect this end. Groups meet m Sunday School, Training Union, espers, and Fellowship Hours to strengthen commitments to this purpose. For one week each year, chapel talks, seminars, and class-room discussions, led by com- petent ministers of the Christian religion, direct the attention of the entire college to the desired goal. This program we call Re- ligious Emphasis Week or Religious Focus Week. In all its ac- tivities throughout the year, the B.S.U. strives to bring the students to a positive happy approach to life, to a point of understanding in which God, as known through Christ, is recognized as the primal impulse for creative campus living.

There are often discourag- ing events or circumstances that cause con- siderable tribulation before the publication of an admirable literary magazine is possible. There are times when, to the editor ' s dis- may, she finds that there is not a usable short story on the campus. Hence, the editor herself must produce the manuscript, and furthermore, it must be a good one. Then there are the times when the business manager realizes that positively no one is in the least interested in advertising through our magazine, and that she, with a dead- line slapping her in the face, must rack her brain desperately for either a new approach or a new firm to approach. Indeed, each staff member has her troubles, but there is al- ways a reward waiting if she meets and comes through her problems courageously. Only a journalist knows the satisfaction of placing into the hands of his reader a publication that has been created out of brain and brawn of both himself and fellow writers and workers, a pub- lication that maintains high standards of skill and content. These are the values cherished by the staff of the Acorn. Frances . i_e.vander.

It s smooth — that is, except when we are forced to rush madly to the printers to cut a detailed account of a lecture which was cancelled after the Tivig had gone to press; e.xcept when our most important patron firm decides to discontinue all ad- vertising, including that in the Twig; except when a picture is lost on its way to the en- graver, and a blank space in the dummy sheet stares us in the face until a substitute j j is found deep in the recesses of someone ' s album! That ' s all in a day ' s work for us, Liu though, and is counteracted by the thrill we get from seeing each issue roll off the press ready for distribution, by the excitement of plans being made for a special edition, by the press convention in the spring and aspirations for a Journalism Club on the campus. Each day is packed with action and suspense for the editors, the reporters, and the business staff ' of the Twig, who strive to cover every phase of campus activity with news and feature stories, editorial material, and pictures, so that a representative, clear-cut view of Meredith life, its activity, and its opinion, may be presented and recorded. .RET Mc G.ADDV, Bus.

Do you think the editor en- joyed having all those announcements made in chapel, changing picture schedules be- cause the weather wouldn ' t cooperate, spend- ing Christmas and mid-year holidays mail- ing pictures to the engraver, and forcing the associate editor to write copy in February about the activities of March, April, and May? And the business manager had the thankless job of sending out bills, collect- ing our fifty centses for club pictures, robbing the seniors of seven dollars for space fees, putting pressure on the Raleigh merchants for ads, and most important — paying for all the editor spent. No, ours was no life of ease; but for all the time and effort which went into the publication of this issue of the O.ak Le.-wes, the staff has, in turn, the satisfaction of knowing that we have contributed to each girl at Meredith something lasting and worthwhile.

This year in the study of federal and state government, the club has had such prominent speakers as Mr. Thad Eure, Secretary of State in North C:arolina, and Mr. W. C. Harris, a local authority on country government. One of the objectives has been to help in reorganizing the Student Legislature, which previously was held each year in Raleigh at the Capitol.

The Hindus have a four-line proverb: The wall said to the nail, What have I done That through me thy sharp tooth thou dost run? The nail replied, Poor fool! What do I know? . sk him who beats my head with many a blow! The author of this proverb recognized that the universe is so constructed that God is constantly making impact on man, and man universally is making some kind of response. The relationship that is formed as man responds to the approaches of God is the essence of religion. Since religion does not exist among all men and is essential to life, the freeman Religion Club attempts to investigate that phenomenon and its any outworkings into life. Naturally the range included by the evidences of religion in life are broad, and for that reason there is wide variety in the subjects chosen for programs. For example, the programs may center in presenting opportunities for student summer work, in relating religion to community enterprises, or in considering current controversial issues in religion. In presenting these programs, it is hoped that the student will wake up to the need of the world for religion and be shaken out of a state of complacency. We encourage membership among all students interested in religion, but don ' t come saying, ' ' This won ' t change me or my thinking any, will it? IT WILL ! 118 COLTON ENGLISH CLUB OFFICERS Doris Harris President Edith Camp Publuily Cha Shirley Hurwitz Vice President Janie Nance Browsing Room Chairman Frances Moore Secretary-Treasurer Miss Harris, Miss Johnson, Miss Lanham, Miss Rose, Miss Hilderman Faculty Sponsors MEMBERS Ella Adams, Frances Alexander, Maxine Bissette, Eugenia Bradley, Betty Brooks, Edith Camp, Opal CUemmons, Pauline Cone, Magdalene Creech, Jewell Davidson, Blanche DuPree, Elizabeth Emory, Kathryn Floyd, Eva Kitchin Edwards, Esther Green, Victoria Harrell, Doris Harris, LaVerne Harris, Mary Humphrey, Shirley Hurwitz, Osee Mac Johnson, Marjorie King, Margaret Lamb, Jane Lassitcr, Harriette Littlejohn, Gloria Mayer, Emma McPherson, Betty Moore, Frances Moore, Margaret Moore, Janie Nance, Barbara Peck (Mrs.), Emily Pool, Bess Ruppelt, Betty Sue Sinclair, Mabel Sperling, Edith Stephenson, Dorothy Swaringen, Ann Wallis, Frances Ward, Christine William- son, Geneva Jo White. Even though the English language, both in its written and its spoken form, is one of the most vital factors in our everyday lives, too often it is interred between the pages of a textbook, and moulders there. The members of the Colton English Club seek to make meaningful the English language and literature of both past and present, and to relate the classroom study to the workaday world. At their meetings in the Browsing Room are presented the writings of the members, book reviews, readings, and talks on various topics of interest. For the benefit of the Richard B. Har- rison Library, the club sponsored during the year Dr. Hubert Poteat in a reading of Green Pastures, as well as a book drive and a chapel program of members poetry, the latter to the tuneful accompaniment of a January downpour.

Do you know what music criticism really is and what it involves? Are you interested in public school music and the openings in this field? If your answer is yes to these questions, the MacDowell Music Club is your club. Not only music majors, but anyone interested may join. Our programs include informal talks, lectures, and demonstration lectures, as well as studies of composers and their music. Several parties are given throughout the year — the Christmas party being the main event. .All who heard Mr. David Wilmot, voice and critic teacher of Meredith, were impressed by his belief in the value of a teacher of public school music and encouraged to investigate the different fields. Mr. Russell Broughton, head of the Department of Music at St. Mary ' s College and music critic for the Raleigh Times, assured us of the need for better and more sincere Music Criticism. . most revealing demonstration lecture was given by Mr. Delton Creech of the State School for the Blind. With his models and a piano, he showed us just how the piano actually produces tones. A trip into the organ loft with Dr. Harry Cooper, head of the Music Department at Meredith, as guide, helped us all to understand the why ' s and how ' s of organ tones. Dr. Benjamin Swalin, conductor of the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra, gave us the very valuable story of the Symphony Orche tra and its plans for the future. Other guest speakers included Miss Hattie S. Parrott, State Super- visor of Public School Music: Mrs. Adeline McCall, chairman of Children ' s Division of the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra, and Mr. Frederick Stanley Smith, Supervisor of Music in Raleigh City Schools. The MacDowell Music Club is a member of the North Carolina Federation of Music Clubs. me CHOIR l .

They have many and varied singspirations to remember — the extra practices that were necessary for those big programs, and the programs themselves. Two of these were given in conjunction with the N. C. State Glee Club in Christmas concerts. Several programs were presented over WPTF. The choir also appeared in programs on Founders Day, during Religious Focus Week, and during Commencement Week. Although some of the extra practices elicited groans from several, the witticisms of the conductor kept the whole group in a most happy frame of mind. The results of their efTorts provided joy and inspiration to the members as well as to their audiences. MEMBERS M. Allen, Baker, Beckman, Brooks, Butler, C.

Don ' t let any- one tell you that the only requirement is the ability to carry a tune and read notes on the staff. You have to know that C sharp and D flat are the same pitch. . nd you mustn ' t be disturbed if the time changes from 3-8 to 3-4 and back again in the same song. What a time Miss Donley had teaching us Hoist ' s Summer. We sang everything from Bizet ' s . gnus Dei to a novel arrangement of Turkey in the Straw, but the favorite seemed to be Floods of Spring by Rachmaninoff. The entire Glee Club got a peculiar sort of pleasure from watch- ing the accompanist ' s tortured expression when she played this number. During Religious Focus Week, we sang at one of the services.

To this end they have tried to join hands with the larger groups of which they are a part, and this year have had student delegates at the American Home Economics Association meeting in St. Louis, and at regional and district meetings in Greenville, S. C, and in Greenville, N. C. Their programs have attempted to develop professional consciousness, and broaden their sympathies for the needs of other homes. Their activities have included such varied projects as the packing of Christmas boxes for children in Europe and entertaining at tea the senior home economics students in the Raleigh high schools. Incidentally, they have had a lot of fun in the glow of that Betty Lamp! MEMBERS Mildred Bullard, Marguerite Bullard, Mary Frances Carpenter, Catherine Campbell, Bethea Danford, Sara Davis.

It was so designated by Miss Ida Poteat, head of the .Art Department from 1899 to 1940, because the club is composed of only those girls whose mothers or grand- mothers came to Meredith. . s an annual project the club sponsors the Needlework Guild Drive on the campus. .Also, one of the objectives is to have a mother-daughter luncheon or dinner sometime during the year. What a wonder- ful time we have listening to tales of Meredith then and now! The club was organized for the promotion of closer friendship between the granddaughters and the alumnae. 128 NOMINATING COMMITTEE MEMBERS OF NOMINATING COMMITTEE Ann VVallis Chiej Counselor Frances Thompson . .

Organized in 1923, the Kappa Nu Sigma Honor Society is composed of those students who have maintained a high scholastic standing over a period of at least two years. The leading events sponsored by the society this year have been a fall lecture which was delivered by Dr. Lodwick Flartley from State College, and the annual spring banquet and lecture.

Yes, it was a pretty good year — all things considered. The very first of the year was largely devoted to standing in long lines — or so it seemed to the new students, who declared they stood in every last one. And then they took tests designed for no other purpose than to make one feel like a moron, first class. But everyone got a thrill out of meeting new people, going to chapel for the first time, and being entertained to within an inch of her existence. It seemed as though every organi- zation gave a party for the new students. The most memorable — without mean- ing to slight anyone — probably was the B.S.U. Family Party at the Chimney. After the formal opening, and once the familiar old grind of classes had begun, there was the further excitement of Rush Week. It was so hard to decide which society to pick, and for the old girls there was the excitement of waiting to see which society would win. During the week when programs and parties were being given, and such delicacies as ice cream bars and lemonade delivered to the rushees rooms at bedtime, it seemed to be a draw. In the end, however. Astro won. Miss Cun- ningham was well rewarded for her exploit in connection with the water tower. The A. A., with customary energy — it must be awful to be on the A. A. and have to be energetic — sponsored the annual Corn-Husking Party. Everyone turned out in informal (i. e. hillbilly) style, stuffed down a wonderful dinner, and could consequently barely gallop through the square dancing and ' arious corn-fed com- petitions which followed. It was most enlightening to see the faculty members perform.

And then there was Palio. It was a great day for the juniors, whose theme of Peace and the UN won them the banner. Everyone but the Arabs nearly froze to death, but it was worth it. The Junior Class also carried the field in bicycle and horse races. In fact, the juniors are a very smart bunch, (pd. ad.)

The sophomores, bilHng themselves as book-worms (ha !) had the largest percentage of attendance, and had reserved seats in the Dia- mond Horseshoe at Stunt. In spite of sniffies, with which Miss Barnette had no sympathy, the day of Palio was one worth li ino. Fran reigns over Palio. 164 r£Tf group Join-the-Church Sunday finds these new students at the First Baptist Church. Stunt? — oh, yes. Stunt. More fun. The sophs, not content with having their seats reserved, walked off with the shiny cup after staging a dramatic Httle thriller — which was very good theatre, really — There Shall Be No Night. The seniors were at sea under the sea, with their Pun-ny Story. The things some p eople will laugh at! The freshmen and juniors were topical, dealing with inflation and the animals ' UN at Lake Flop in Havoc Hollow, respectively — but not very respect- ully. (The graduating class will please pardon the pun.) The audience had a few difficulties, between the dry ice the sophs used for a fog effect, and the popping of the balloons which the frosh handed out with their programs. On a more serious tone was Founders ' Day. It was more than a half-holiday; for the seniors in their caps and gowns, and the chapel program itself, all pointed up a solemn and festive occasion. In the short breathing spell before Thanksgiving, the juniors gave their little sisters a party. Big sisters, yes, our big sisters, that great Junior Class (thank you, thank you) gave us a humdinger of a party. Each girl was escorted to the party by her big sister, and on walking into Astro Hall, which was decorated with crepe No wonder State had such a successful football season with a good-looking fan like Jeanne Dickens.

After a demonstration of the latest jitt, and bubble-gum blow- ing — courtesy of Nancy Hall, a master of the art — we were further culturally up- lifted by hillbilly trios and the drama, Indian style. Food followed, of course. And then. Thanksgiving! For some it was a long and glorious weekend; for others, a brief but wonderful visit, and even for those who stayed, it was a very different day, with a stupendous turkey dinner in the middle. In the short , e.xcited time between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the ministers of the Raleigh churches were entertained at dinner and coflTee, as a small token of appreciation from the girls to whom their churches are a home away from home, trite as that may sound. Join-the-Church Sunday assumed a real significance. And suddenly it was Christmas. It didn ' t quite seem possible, but all at once it was there, and the faculty cards hung up on the string, and it was the best night of all — the gala night before going ' home, when everyone stayed up, and the hardiest went out into the dark and chill to carol. That happy time made it seem almost or Man Winter finallv arrives. 166 That cake from home makes studying for exams so much easier. Gi-an ' ma ' s is a fa like a Christmas out of Dickens. And then the last class was over, and the campus was quite deserted, and it was really Christmas. The few — too few — weeks after Christmas are best quietly forgotten. It was a mad, mad whirl, and exams, and there was one semester and half the year gone. The events of the second semester — which began with a bang with the Great Snow — are quite overshadowed by graduation. There was Religious Focus Week, of course, and it can ' t be overestimated in its positive value in focusing intelligent thought on religious problems, and on religion in daily life. Something was going on every minute of that week. The recitals, too (faculty and student) and society plays. The freshman play we must mention in a sentence all to itself. . . . Guest recitals, and lectures, and the Folk Dance concert mustn ' t be forgotten. And then those wonderful picnics given by the organizations. Food! (Don ' t we ever stop thinking of food?) And the parties the frosh and sophs had! So much seemed to be happening all the time second semester; it ' s hard to make anything but little pieces out of it. Second semester is just too much for the huuian constitution. We have that on authority from the Biology Department. The biggest thing for the seniors and juniors — especially the juniors, who had to foot the bill — was the Junior-Senior, complete with soft lights, music, food — and dates, real live ones. The freshmen and sophomores have something to look for- ward to. Before that was Easter, and a good thing it came. too. Being worked to death is a horrible way to die. And after, was the May Day celebration, with the glamorous May Queen and her bevy of attendants. (Well, that ' s what they call em in the society columns.) The weather? Ha ! Surprise ! Society Night and Class Day and rewards and then — Graduation ! The .seniors just turned on the steam cock and ripped around all over the place in the maddest frenzy until one decided it might be easier on the pre iously mentioned con.stitution, or what was left of it. to graduate midterm.

After the exams, when the shouting and tumult had simmered down to a subdued roar, and it was actually the big day, and they marched up in their gowns, and received that little piece of paper, we could see what they meant. But the year was far more than just these events. It was football games and basketball games. It was the Hut, and meetings, and the Bee-Hive. It was things like the counsel groups, and the bull sessions — yes, and even the classes. The small things — Wilmont — and Gran ' ma ' s — town, and Allen ' s Pond. Bigger things — BSU convention — student meetings — Little Theatre and Civic Music. It was the post office, the library, the dining hall, chapel. Things like the publications, games, packages. It was church and family altar, and vespers — YWA and BTU —unexpected surprises like the pep rally on the library steps when the faculties of the various colleges were meeting in Astro Hall.
