If something of this spirit of maturity, of deepened appreciation, has been enclosed between these covers, the most fer ent intent of the 1951 Oak Leaves Staff will have been realized. 5 11 1 Jl ' C .

It s rather amazing for us to realize that along the way in our struggle to get here, ve e gained much from our Alma Mater and are going away with a host of memories when we take off our caps and gowns for the last time. Besides, we ' ll ha ' e something else we ' re grateful for — an education. At long last we have decided that maybe that ' s what we were after all the time. As it ' is this last ear that brings us to a realization and understanding of the ideas, which we ha e been absorbing, we ' ll probably look back on our Senior War as the most vi id. It was when I was a senior that I ijegan to under- stand. . . .

It all began with lots of the Juniors returning to school early to lead freshmen and transfers around our bewildering campus. Thank good- ness for the transfers, who really were needed to fill our sadly depleted ranks. We finally realized the thrill of being big sisters instead of little sisters, and our little sisters found out how we felt at our annual Big-Little Sister party in February. We managed to survive the excitement of Palio in the fall and Stunt in the spring. And in the spring we wended our way through the court to the Junior-Senior Banquet instead of hanging out the windows to ooh and ah at the evening dresses as in previous years. Now at the close of our Junior ear, we look back with pride to our achie ements, and with hope for e ' en greater things we look forward to our Senior vear. i.

Phi 70 Sophomore Class Officers Onward we march along our way as the class of ' 53. We, the Sophomore Cllass, had our hand in Orientation Week guiding the freshmen; we worked together in Corn Huskin Bee, in Stunt, and again during Palio as the enlightened hugs. C hristmas caroling and after-midnight parties helped usher in the holidays, and the e.xams come to end half of our year. With the arrival of spring, we .sent our beauties to the May Court and watched the Japanese cherry trees blossom. Then signs of summer and month of June with graduation for our big sisters arrived.

This year the council has attempted to build a strong bond of unity by holding open meetings where rules and their interpretations ha e been discussed. The honor SNStem has been stressed by placing more emphasis on the meaning of honor in the social as well as in the academic realm. Further cooperation has been secured by thorough- ly explaining legislati e and election procedures. Weekly meetings of the council have been preceded by office hours — a time when any student cculd present suggestions for legislative action to be discussed at the meetings. Joint meetings with the Faculty Committee on Student Government have helped to bring a better understanding of faculty viewpoints on student matters. Another phase of the council ' s duties has been the promotion of a well-rounded social life among students. Activities such as the mass attendance at a Wake Forest football game, open-house in the Hut, and support at State College pep rallies have been a few of the activities. It is the belief of the council that student government can be successful only if students recognize the importance of applying its principles to all phases of student life. With this idea in mind student government has a part in all the activities on campus — seeking to integrate them towards one ideal — more democratic, Christ-like campus living. M.ARJORIE JOYNER President 86 Freshman and Transfer Connsellors I ' m going home; this homework has gotten me down. I ' m going, too; my roommate and I just don ' t agree. Vait a few more days, girls; things will he better I promise. We will do everything in our power to straighten out your problems. This could very easily be a conversation of a counsellor and her girls. We have striven this year to make our freshmen-transfer counselling system work on an informal personal basis. We, the counsellors, think our job has been one of the biggest jobs on the campus, but also the most gratifying one possible. Our only wish is that in return for our work we have gained the friendship of every new student. We ha e during the year touched upon the subject of the .Student Government at work; the traditions of Meredith; methods of study; vocational guidance; and extra curricular activities — all with the intention of acquainting the new students with some background information which is nccessarv for becoming the best kind of Meredith citizen.

Staff The Baptist Student Union of Mere- ith College is a student Christian lovenient which exists for the total udent body of Meredith College. The Union has an executive council, le purpose of which is to provide pportunity for worship, study, and :tion as the individual student seeks ) know God as revealed in Jesus Christ, ' espers and family altar provide op- ortunities for worship on the campus, tudy groups are held all through the ?ar. An opportunity for action comes irough our mission organization, the .W.A. The B.S.U. works closely with the lurches of Raleigh, where, in the ■llowship of kindred minds, the student an find strength, direction, and en- Duragement to strive for the ideal life, le Christ-centered life. This emphasis has as its basis the motivating force of this passage of Scripture: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:5-7 The opportunities offered on the campus and in the churches bear much fruit only to the extent that they have been centered in Jesus Christ, his spirit and his purpose. r Astrotekton Sonny BuRNHA Movie stars, football stars, stars in the sk -. Astro stars. All these stars were seen at the Astro Star Party, our introduction to Rush Week. Vc entertained the new students that night and again on two Rush Days. Competition was keen as we vied with the Phis, the Astros vigorously attempting to woo students into an attachment to the gold and white. The pep rally with cheerleaders, football stars, B.M.O.C. ' s ■ present from Carolina, State, Duke, and Wake Forest was a big success, as was the picnic at Aliens ' Pond, cli- maxed by the burning of a huge star across the lake to the singing of the Astrotekton song. After the hectic activities of Rush Week, old and new Astros settled down to a more normal pace, enjoying such activities as spaghetti suppers, open house with the Phis, and square dances. We had serious moments when we discussed questions pertinent to the society, or planned for important events. However, in all our undertakings, social or business, we found in our society, friends with common interests; we found opportunities for expression of our talents; we found chances for enriching our social life; we found a new spirit of unity with the Philaretians. We ha ' e believed in our motto, and we have tried to live by it: He builds too low who builds beneath the stars. Philaretian To make the societies more active and purposeful was the challenge that inspired us as Phis and guided us through the year — a year unequalled in our stay at Meredith. Rush week was hectic but fun as we invaded the freshman dormitories. Our Fashion Show formally introduced our old members to the new students. The Tuesday night skit transformed the dining hall into an entertaining supper club. With friends from State College we cli- maxed, at the annual bondfire, our share of rushing. De- cision Day was a victory for the Phis. Virginia Jones President Under the guidance of our challenge, many picnics, parties, and teas were scheduled. It has been fun watching the freshmen become an active part of the society. A canasta party helped us to buy new furniture for our hall — an addition much needed and appreciated. And now that the end of another year draws near, we senior Phis must leave you, but our goal still remains. To you whom we are leaving and to the new girls who will join you soon, we wish success. Plain living and high thinking will always bind together loyal Phis. And the spirit of Philaretia will be with us forever. i .- B 91 Phi Marshals AsHA Farr.or: Bett.e Yates, Chief Marshal: Marguerite Smith; Anne Horton, nol pictured. istro Marshals 7mf ' % s gL— 1 -V iA U w B l. i E% ' ifi W!M-m. 1 wn w 4 ' ■ ' -fc if 4 ' w 1 l 1 1 1 ■ i aB Ruth Cole; Franc:es Anne Esteridge, Chief Marshal: tiired.

The magnetic quality of the Pul:)Iications Room has made itself known to us during this year. Realizing at last that an undetourcd trip through first Jones is impossible, we have made an intimate friend of the corner filing cabinet and recognized the lyric tones to be found turning pages and re- sounding typwriter keys. But the Room inmates have often been known to envy the socialite half of the staff. To meet a portion of Raleigh citizenry labeled Advertising Managers and Public Relations Directors sounds blissfulh- like the outside world. It is. In fact, it is rumored that shreds of business staff shoe leather may be found in almost any given square inch of Raleigh sidewalk. Herein is rooted the inutual admiration e.xisting between the editorial and business factions. There is another point that finds unanimous agreement ... we gratefully mention here the tireless efforts of our faculty ad ' isers. Dr. Harris and Dr. Canaday. The energy expended in guiding an- other greenhorn staff through another year must be of the infinite unmeasurable variety. With the advisers, in our personal hall of fame, we place Dr. and Mrs. Cooper, whose combined efforts have produced much of this book ' s photography. The Superlative, Devider, Marshal, and May Queen sections are all graced by the Cooper signature and are, we feel, exceptional in technique and originality. Sharing the photography laurels with the Coopers is Lib Reid whose patience and ability are responsible for the athletic section. To the students and faculty we commend to you this our offering in the hope that you will find here represented 1951 at Meredith. 95 Nanc: !

Barry Barefoot Martha Smith Lucyann Liddy Dot Thomas Jeanne Ramsey As the TWIG is bent, so goes student opinion, and so all the happenings of the college community — from Rush Week in the fall to Commencement in the spring — are duly reported and, we hope, read and talked about. This reflection of student opinion and this chronicling of all campus events is, at least, the dream of the staff, who sometimes tire of chasing down stories but never tire of reading their own immortal words on the front page. Although the editor occasionally wearied of ordering people to write letters that would not sound forced, editorials on pertinent subjects around the campus seemed to come easily to more and more staff members and guest writers, giving what was considered hope for the future. At any rate, after due process of editing and a few feelers sent out into the unknown in search of material to fill up space, copy continued to fill up the wire basket in the Publications Room. Grappling with dangling participles and trying to proofread without getting completely ijlacked with ink are, of course, not the best-paid occupations at Meredith, but every two weeks to those responsible the work seemed to ha -e been well worth all the backbreaking hours spent toiling over the typewriter and laboriously counting inches. 97 Dic:kik Phili ii ' s.

Day Student Officers Betsy Goldston President Barbara Ballenger 1st Vice-President Jean Taylor 2nd Vice-President Shirley Stough 3rd Vice-President The Day Students of Meredith College. Just the name itself brings a flood of ideas and memories. We remember the excitement of registering as freshmen, the thrill of using the new auditorium for the first time . . . there were the perpetual bridge games when wc all brought out our sandwiches and ate lunch together. . . . Anyone who didn ' t know how to play, promptly learned, for bridge seemed a must at any mealtime. . . . We think of the way we rushed to catch the bus and then ran by the bulletin board in Johnson Hall to get the latest word on when who met where. . . . Then hurry, hurr - to cla.ss to become part of the routine hustle and busde down the long hall of the Arts Building. . . . We offered sympathetic smiles to the resident students when they complained of that deadline to be in after dates, for we loved to pretend that we just NEVER had to be in before the wee hours of the morn. . . . We also had the worry and fretting of arranging senior courses. . . . We had to have these certain courses to graduate. . . . For us nothing else would do. . . . We had to get in those student teaching hours. Of course, our schedules worked out and we graduated triumphantly and yet a little sadly, for we ' ll never forget those little things that were so important to the DAY STUDENTS OF MEREDITH COLLEGE. 100 M. CInb The primary purpose of the Mrs. C:lub is to give help to the newly-wed. In addition, the group hoped to make a closer bond between themselves and the school. Especially did the wives want their husbands, who at times feel left out, to realize that they, too, are linked with the college. During the year activities consisted of monthly business meetings and socials. At the business meetings discussions included the preparation of quick and inexpensive meals, preparation of home- work while mixing a cake, the concoction of exotic — bound to please husbands — dishes, the making of inexpensive Christmas decorations and gifts, the preparation of homework while feeding the baby and the function of social amenities in the home. Socials included dinner meetings using motifs of the current holiday season, one open meeting, featuring a marriage counselor, to which engaged girls and their fiances were invited, a sumptuous covered-dish supper, a delightful ' alcntinc party, and a moonlight hayride. Marriage and school ran mix!. Nominating Committee The Nominatine; Committee at Meredith, made up of the presidents of all the major or £;anizations on the campus, the presidents of the classes, editors-in-chief of the publications, the college marshal, and three faculty members chosen by this committee to ser e as advisers, endeavors to lead the stu- dent bod in carryino out democratic principles in the elections on the campus. This group selects those students who the%- feel, are most capable of holding office, and presents them to the student bod - with the understanding that the student bod - can petition and enter other persons in the list of nominees. The Nominating Committee also chooses all the officials who ser e at the polls and all who count otes. Meredith Little Theatre The show must go on . . . and will, wc have discovered. The Meredith Little Theatre, with much effort, has been expanded this year to make this the motto of many of our students. Amid trials and tribulations, the like of which we had never seen, a brilliant suggestion would arise from the blue and solve all our problems. In same cases, a hitherto latent genius would become evident, and, exentually, specialists in all fields developed and the organization became a smoothly functioning one. This year, the major productions were, in the fall, Goodby, My Fancy, and, in the spring. The Silver Cord. The former is a clever satire on the problems of a modern college president, the latter is a tragedy dealing with a man ' s attempt to readjust to his family after his marriage. The Little Theatre also sponsored Stunt Night, and a one-act play contest in co-operation with the Acorn. Through participation in one major production of the Little Theatre, a student earns membership in the organi- zation and is entitled to add honor points to her score toward membership in Alpha Fsi Omega Fraternity, the national honorary dramatic association on our campus.

Any girl on the Meredith College campus is eligible for membership if she meets this requirement. Prospective teachers are urged to join the Education Club. Our ambition: Exery prospecti e teacher an acti c participant in the club and its programs. An attempt is made to present programs which are interesting, educative, and suggestive of pro- cedures for teachers. Meredith Student League of Women Voters Because Meredith students ;ne among the future voters, law-makers, and office-holders of the I ' nited States, in 1930 the Student League of Women Voters was organized on the campus to en- courage its members to become more intelligent in aflFairs of local and national interest. Each year Meredith participates in the North Carolina Student Legislature at the Clapitol. Our Student League has its Ijiggcst job of the year at this time as it has to draw up and present a bill to the Student General Assembly. Another project of the League has been to promote absentee voting among the students on the campus. These and other acti ' ities of the Student League offer practical experience in the realm of politics for students who are to be the voters of the future. 107 I. R. 0. If you e cr want to know what ' s s:oing; on in Germany, or Alaska, or Korea, just come to a meeting of the International Relations CUuh. W ' e don ' t profess to know all the anserws, but we look forward to meeting; together in order to put forth our several questions and opinions. ' ery often we ha e guest speakers who talk with us aboiu particular problems. .Ml of us in the International Relations Club enjoy our club and its acti ities. We feel that this has been a very successful year. Canady Math Club What makes the planetarium work? What happens in a statistics laborator ? The Clanaday Mathematics Club foiuid the answers to these questions when they visited the Morehead Plane- tarium and the State College Statistic s Laijoratory. In pursuing the purpose of the club, which is to promote interest in mathematics and to provied information on its current application, the members have learned to use the slide rule, presented a mo ie on applied mathematics, and discussed the different careers a math major can enter. For fim they have worked mathematical tricks, puzzles, riddles, and fallacies. The math majors realize the vital importance of math in the world toda - and bclie c there is an interesting and pleasant way to learn the so-called hard subject. 109 Barber Science Club In case ou arc wondering; ahout the activities of this scientific a:roup, we might assure you that we don ' t engage in research for some unknown element, im-estigate the cures for cancer, nor work with atomic energ ! Howe er, some of our acti ities are concerned with such subjects. During this year our programs ha e included lectures l)y w ell known men of science, discussions on pho- tography, and field trips. Perhaps the most enjoyaijle project of the ch Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, North Carolina animals and plants. What fun wc ha c! is the annual field trip to the Duke Unixersitv On this weekend we collect and studv marine The cluf) nieinliership includes science majors and those taking electi e courses in this field. The Barber Biology C:lub, organized in 1929, later became the Barber Science Club in order to include all science majors. Since the date of its organization, the club has played an increasinglv important part in the campus life. ' e Ijeliexe its future has a wide horizon; like science in general, it has un- told potentialities! 110 Freeman Religion Club An aim of the Freeman Religion C:iul) is to help its members reahze that the reHgion of a person or coimtry is ijasic in determining the kind of problems they have to face and in deciding just how they will meet these problems. To carry out this purpose, then, we strive to get acquainted with world issues and with people of all nations. Mr. Leonard Allan, at our first meeting, showed us Africa and the race prejudice, slum conditions, and static education that exist there. Miss Lucy Steele, who has recently studied at Oxford, helped us picture the life of an English college student and compared his situation to ours here in America. Mr. J. C. Herrin showed us a way to solve our own problems in introducing us to great devotional literature of the past and present. Rabbi Schwartz, leader in the Jewish Orthodox Synagogue here in Raleigh, led us to an understanding of the religious customs and obser -ances of his people. All these programs were centered in a concern for the growth of the indi idual member in creatixe Chris- tian li -inff. , — 1 m : B r ■k ' ■ « ■ 1 ■ 1 y tl9 9 - - 0 Colton English Club The Colton English Clkib has a definite purpose on our campus. Though no one of us thinks herself as a second Edna St. incent Milla , we do try to foster the creative spirit at Meredith. And if a student likes to write, enjoys stimulating discussion, and is interested in becoming a more well- rounded indi idual, she has a place in the Colton English Club. Since our theme for the ear was ' Meredith majors at work, our guest speakers were quite at home in the Browsing Room, where programs are held. Among our very interesting speakers was Jean Branch, now a graduate student at Carolina, who told of her work in Christian journalism for various publications of the Northern Baptist Association. Frances Alexander, of Station WPTF, discussed her work as a continuity writer. A surprising departure from the usual work of a graduate in English was provided by Betty Moore, who told of her duties in the bond department of a bank. Of great interest to every English student was Edith Buchanan ' s talk on her studies in English in the Duke Graduate School. Our own Mrs. Jim Reid delighted us all with her accounts of faculty and student publicity work at Meredith. Our program made us as proud as our graduates are eager to be English majors at work. 112 Tomorrow ' s Business Women ' s CInb Tomorrow s Business Women s Club has chosen lor its theiiic this year -ocational possibiHties open to a;raduates in ijusiness. Our programs, centered in this theme. ha e been varied through the cooperation of outside spealcers representing different fields of business. In addition, the Christmas dinner party at the Cameron ' illage Restaurant, the showing of a movie, and the visit from ole ■■grads all have added interest to our meetings. Under the efficient leadership of Joyce Bailey president; Peggy Thornton, vice-president; Sue C onlev ' , secretary; Asha Farrior, treasurer; and Beth Boggs, program chairmen; we ha e enjoyed an eventful and worthwhile year. We believe that each of our members, the junior and senior business majors, and our sophomore pledges now can visualize more positi ely that certain career after graduation. Bee Hive Vhat better name could ha e been given to the Meredith Supply Store than THE BEE HIVE! For, into this store swarm students for those in-between-meal snacks, that urgently needed cosmetic, that box of stationery to write Dear John, that notebook paper or pencil, or any other necessity; and around the toaster or tal)le they ho er to exchange the latest in news and gossip. The Bee Hi e is pleased and proud of the implications of its name, because its primar - purpose is to serve the students in all the ways suggested. Under the guidance of the Bee Hi e Committee, which is composed of a representative elected from each class, and Dr. Cannady, faculty ad iser, the Bee Hi e is the STORE for students, and tries to serve them behind the counters in e -er - way possible and to be successful enough to convert the profits made by the store into campus improve- ments. 114 Alpha Rho Tan Are you a paint-and-charcoal-smeared inmate of the art lab? Do you like to wander through the gallery and wonder what strange creatures created the works of art found there? Do you like a good argument? Are you interested in the possii ilities that art can offer you in the future? Then Tau. friend, are the kind of creature that belongs, or should belong to the Alpha Rho We have discussions, and we speakers who risk their lives to argue with us. We have working sessions in which everyone gi%-es her all to the cause of art ... or the cause of a forthcoming exhibit. We try to get the rest of the students interested in art, painters, and at trying their hand in sketching or painting. So grab a smock and an old paint brush; come on down and see the fun we ha c in ALPHA RHO TAU. 115 « Uf t« 1 f ? iftf f } tlfib t ' tr  Ail 1 ' ' illlillMiliii THlMWi™ Granddaughters ' flub Unique Distinction! that ' s the motto of the Granddaughters CUub! Our mothers blazed a trail before us, and we take up the challenge by ri2;ht of inheritance. During the ear we stri e to create a feeling of closeness between Meredith and the alunnae by visits from the grads, talks on What It Means to lie an Alumna of Meredith, and discussions of Meredith Then and Now. We take part in the conimunit - affairs of the Cit of Raleigh through participation in the Needlework Guild b - sponsoring each fall a project for this organization. This ear, we proudK claim forty-one members — among them two sets of twins and two great- granddaughters. We take pride in being the onK organization on the campus in which parentage determines membership — hence, we are literally born into the Granddaughters Club. Home Economics Club For the year 1950-51, the Home Economics Club thought it appropriate to choose as its theme Mici-C ' .entur - Milestones. The members found themselves trying to sec the privileges and ob- ligations of today as a link between a noble history in the field of home economics and a promising future. The Home Economics Club, therefore, included in the programs for the year: a study of its heritage and of the people who have made the field what it is today; a review of clothing fashions since the turn of the century; the 1950 version of hospitality, which took the form of a tea for home economics leaders and high school students; and, ' as a climax, the impressive ceremony of the Betty Lamp, which installed freshmen as fuUfledged members of the National Home Economics Association. The pleasant contacts with the adopted school in Germans- and the contribution to the programs by foreign students on the campus ha e helped gi e a vision of the responsibilities of the Home Eco- nomics CMub. 117 Sociology Club To like people and he able to get along with them, one must first imderstand them and their cul- tural backgrounds. The Sociology Club gi es majors and minors in sociology a chance to learn more about people by studying them, by working with them, and by hearing experts try to explain human ijehavior. The Sociology Club also brings out the social side of life in joint meetings with sociologists from State College and the University of North Carolina. .Sociological theory is also put into practice at the Christmas dinner for sociologists, the April breakfast at the Reinlyn House, and a May picnic. 118 Hoof-print Group What ' s all the horse talk? Why not drop into the Hoof-Print club-house and find out? This newly pine-paneled house is the center of activity for some twenty-five horse lovers, all of whom are participants in classes under the direction of their expert teacher and sponsor, Mrs. Miriam Hitt. But horse talk and classes aren ' t the only actixities. Each fall the Palio Parade is led by costumed riders and each spring there is a horse show and a o mkhana, Ijoth eaoerly looked forward lo by all of the students. With each nevs- semester, the Hoof-Print CUub welcomes new members, who in turn spend many enjoyable hours riding on the beautiful trails near the campus. W ' hat is hor se talk?

Membership is open to students of all departments of the college, this vc.n ' s Cliorus ol sixt oices ha -ing a fifty per cent representation of non-music majors. Special performances throughout the season were Founders Day and Christmas Day radio broad- casts, the annual Christmas and spring concerts, and Commencement programs. Appearances at the Baptist Student Union Clonvention in Raleigh, the State Baptist C onvention in Durham, and a short tour during the spring completed the activities of the group. The preparation of extensive repertoire adequate to meet the arious demands upon the Chorus necessarily entailed constant and conscientious rehearsing, yet the expereince of joyful cooperation was in itself rewarding. The German Club This year marked the Ijeginning of a new clul) on the Meredith Campus— the German C:iul). The acti ities, under the sponsorship of Dr. Freund, have varied from movies on difTerent places of interest in Germany, to a Christmas party at the Freunds. The ckih intends to bring the students of German in contact with more spoken German and to create an atmosphere of pleasure by in- creasing the knowledge of the German language and of the people of Germany. ' J Macdowrll lllnsic Club Do musical c ents in Ralcisjh slip up on you hcfort- you know it? The Macdovvfll Music Club may be able to help oii. Under the leadership of Mr. Stuart Pratt, our sponsor, we try to keep ahead of the musical schedule for Raleigh. Our prog:rams are frecjuently based on re iews of future concerts; at other times there are informal talks and lectures on current topics of interest. The only prerequisite for inembership in the club, which is a member of the North Carolina Fed- eration of Music CUubs, is an interest in promoting wholesome inusical activities on our campus. 122 The Psi Chi Psychology Club For those girls who thought they were schizophrenic, paranoid, or manic-ciepressive, and for all others interested in psychology, the Psi Chi Club was formed in the Spring of 1950. The main pur- poses of this organization, other than relieving frustrations, are to promote interest in the field of psychology, provide an a cnuc for contacts with other schools, and help students in the develop- ment of well rounded personalities. Programs include mo ies, reports on student projects, talks, and demonstrations by the faculty and by outside speakers. In the fall we were fortunate enough to hear directly from one of repre- sentatixes to the Paris Meeting of the World Federation for Mental Health — our own D.G.F. ! Mem- bers of the staff at Di.x Hill, Duke University, State College, and the Raleigh Mental Hygiene Clinic have also helped to make our meetings a success. Students who ha e completed six hours in psychology are eligible for acti e membership; those who have completed, or are taking a three hour course, are eligible for associate membership. All others interested in psychology or anxious to know what ' s wrong with them are welcome to the open meetings. 123 m m aLETICS Assoiiation Hope Hodges President The Meredith College Athletic Association is a campus-wide organization, of which every student is automatically a member. It has as its aim the development of fair play and good sportsmanship among the students, the promotion of skills in wholesome leisure time actisities, and the development of sound body and mind. A governing board consisting of twenty-one college students, with representatives from each class, plan and carry out the yearly pro- gram of activities. Miss Doris Peterson, Di- rector of Health and Physical Education and Mi.ss Ph llis Cunningham, Instructor in Health and Physical Education serve as faculty ad- visers. Besides conducting a full program of com- petition in the many seasonal sports, the A. A. also sponsors such all campus projects as Monogram Club, Palio, Stunt Night, Christ- mas Caroling, Folk Dance Concert, Faculty- Student Play Day, Posture Week, Corn Huskin ' Bee, Horse Show, and May Day. 126 CONGRATULATIONS, HOPE! Monogram Club The Meredith College Monogram Club is an honorary organization composed of those girls who have earned a thousand points for participation in any of the arious activities and sports sponsored by the Athletic Associ- ation. Its purpose is to encourage and pro- mote good sportsmanship and fair play through competitive activity. The Monogram Club is also a .service organization, lending leadership in many campus-wide activities, as well as assisting with Athletic Association projects.

This honorary national dramatics fraternity accepts members on a fifty-point basis. These points are awarded for work in Little Theatre pro- ductions including work liackstage, make-up assistance, and anything else pertaining to the ad ' ance- ment of dramatics on our campus. The Eta Nu chapter here at Meredith is small, but we were smaller. Our chapter is growing and making itself felt in the affairs of Meredith. Many girls with greasepaint in their blood are working on those points towards the time when thev too mav frame a shingle and carry a membership card and sport the blue and gold of Alpha Psi. We are con- fident that it will not be long before Meredith can boast of one of the most active, most successful, and most satisfying chapters in the fraternitN ' , because we grow larger every year and will continue to do so in the future. 151 € C f Kappa h Sigma f hallos, Aoin, Sophia — these Greek words, which mean beauty, soundmindedness, and intelligence, are the words from which Kappa Nu Sigma Honor Society takes its name. The qualities of the kind of scholarship which Kappa Nu Sigma has tried to further on the Meredith campus are expressed in these words. Those students who ha e achie ' ed a high scholastic standing over a period of two years make up the membership of this society. Its activities include the sponsoring of an annual spring banquet and lecture and the awarding ol a scholarship to the freshman having the highest scholastic standing in her class. 152 m y a 9 The Silver Shield On the campus of Meredith College the Silver Shield, honorary leadership society, strives to create light attitudes and to promote devotion to the ideals of Meredith. Its members seek to attain scholarship, to have a genuine Christian concern for other as they try to relate the organization to campus life, and to dedicate themselves to the purpose which gives Meredith meaning. Service to the school rather than self is the true motive of the Silver Shield. 1 K ffi BnO rvl ■ip- ' 4 r lliyrai Sigma Pi Alpiia No man lives alone, but all peoples of the world are now neie;hbors; for this reason it is more neces- sary for us to learn foreign languages than it has ever been before. Therefore the Phi Kap pa Chapter of Sigma Pi Alpha, national honorary modern language fraternity, honors the students who have an interest and a high scholastic standing in modern languages. With the aim and desire to increase the interest in modern languages among the students, the Sigma Pi Alpha sponsors lectures, meetings, picnics, and parties, as means of showing life and customs in other lands. Sigma Alpha lota Participating in public performances, singing in the chapter chorus, working in the music store, leading vespers, having pledge parties — these are only a few activities of Beta Zeta chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, a national music fraternity for women. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Eutsler our programs have emphasized modern and contemporary music in an effort to familiarize the chapter members and the pul)lic with this music. Members of the organization are music majors chosen by the local chapter, upon faculty recommendation, for excellence in scholarship, musical ability, and ital interest in music. Because it is a national organization, its members hax-e the opportunity for wide .social and professional contacts and for acti ' e interest in musical projects of broad scope. 155 ThB Year kt Meredith To say that 1950-51 was just another school term in the life of Meredith College would be chal- lenged by students as well as by faculty members, for the significant changes and events that took place were ones that affected each individual as well as the college itself. Early September found the usual swarm of early angels making preparations for the arrixal of the lowly freshmen. The big wheel retreat to Clrabtree allowed time for full reports of summer romances, for fall plans, and for the usual merriment that accompanies the opening of school. Sep- tember 14 brought girls all the way from Podo Junction to Havana, Cuba, ready and eager to tackle the task of becoming scholars. Meredith itself had acquired a new look. The auditorium was more nearh ' completed; dormitory rooms no longer showered plaster when the doors opened. The floors in Johnson Hall were so shiny that students could see their faces in them. The students themselves brought a new and strange atmosphere to the campus. All over the campus ukes echoed Five Foot Two and You Are My Sunshine, a product of summer camps. The Twig announced its change in clothing from white to a more sophisticated professional shade. Even enrollment was something new at Meredith. For the first time in its history Angel Farm opened its doors to 612 students. This factor brought more campus changes. Half of the infirmary became a dormitory hall; the student go ernment mo ed out of its office to make room for more students; the dining hall was filled to capacity. After the new students had been oriented, partied, and helped over their homesickness spells, the Phis and Astros rushed in to bring even more excitement with Rush Week activities. All colors except yellow and purple were hidden for the occasion; posters and politicking seemed to be the cry for all freshman-hungry society meml)ers. Saturday morning the dining hall was arrayed with gay society colors, which helped to symbolize the hoped-for ictory. C ' .hapel brought the week ' s outcome: the Phis as this year ' s winner! Autumn weather produced more than yellow leases and whipping wind. It brought football games, big week-ends away from school, and classes going in full swing. A great highlight was the Wake Forest-Meredith day when all angels boarded buses to attend the Richmond-Wake Forest football game. We returned safely with a gift from our Baptist brothers, a statue of an angel to enhance Johnson Hall ' s lieauty. In return for their thoughtfulness we gave the deacons a horseshoe of flowers and a can of paint to help out in their annual trip to the lofty heights of the water tower. Autumn also brought the Corn-Huskin ' Bee with its array of clems and hawg-callers. The State Fair lights began to be seen each night from Stringfield and ' ann dorms. The fair itself brought the usual lurid talcs of freak shows, thrilling rides, etc. Conventions came into the limelight as Baptist students from all o er North Carolina came to Raleigh for their annual collegiate gathering. Meredith had a part in the convention; the Sunda - morning service was held in our new auditorium. November blustered in with a balmy breeze which unfortunately didn ' t last through the night of Palio. Our first attempt to present the spectacle at night ended in a downpour producing streaked costumes Ijut undampened spirits. The Senior Class reigned triumphant with its theme of Aladdin and his lamp as producers of peace. Next came the juniors dressed in red, white, and blue, led by the statue of liberty floating on a decorated jeep, compliments of State College. Consolation went to the sophomore lightning bugs and frosh harvesters. The Little Theater displayed new talent material in Good-by, My Fancy as the freshman class dominated the stage. The students were dehghted with faculty performances as well as the .skillful playing of the other roles. On Founders ' Day the seniors got their first taste of real dignitx as they marched into the audi- torium a la cap and gown. Dr. Edward McNeill Poteat delivered the message that conunemorated fifty-one years of Meredith ' s growth. Class work seemed much harder the first of December after mid-term reports came out and term paper assignments were made. Scholarh endeavors were soon overshadowed b preparation for Christmas festivities on campus. The dining hall was decked with silver leaves and a glowing Christ- mas tree, while Johnson Hall chose the motif of overhanging mistletoe. Musical strains of fen- nesee Waltz were replaced for a while by O Come All Ye Faithful and Deck the Halls as Mere- 156 dith students went around the city singing Christmas carols. The formal dinner and all-night parties helped to put the entire campus in a jo ial mood for their homeward journeys. ' isits home brought back a record Ijreaking display of diamonds, fraternit - pins and new senti- ment for the boys back home. More and more men were called to train themselves for the Korean battle and for the first time in several years war hysteria became somewhat prevalent on the campus with girls standing in line to buy airmail stamps . . . haunting the kitchenette to make home-made fudge for a dear buck private . . . girls rushing to the train station to say a last tearful good-bye. War feelings became more than a dream as girls began to wake up to the seriousness of the world situation. Januarx brought more than a new year . . . the campus seemed to put on a new atmosphere in preparation for ccming exam. week. The creative rhythms classes created their c.xams for the pleasure of everyone. Their second annual review entitled Ports of Call proved to be a big suc- cess. The water tower suffered from the hands of Wake Forest fraternity pledges. Our stateh motto of Angel Farm was covered with green and white paint. The only joy it brought was the idea of iewing something different during exam week, for before we knew it the opportunity for ad- ditional brain waves had descended upon us. The night vigils over a cup of Nescafe and .some bi- ology notes were as popular as ever (Guess we ' ll never learn.) Exam teas gave sought-after relief as we had the pleasure of discussing the horrors of it all over a cup of steaming Russian tea. A new semester brought new faces, new classes and new experiences to everyone. Wedding bells rang out for several girls; more diamonds appeared. The music department adopted even happier countenances as they finally moved into the new auditorium. With a smile denoting I ' ll not miss thee at all thrown at the old auditorium (now affectionateK- called The Barn), battered pianos were moved into their new places of grandeur. Students scarcely knew how to act amid the beauty of new practice rooms and classrooms. Religious Emphasis Week came to plant new, stimulating thoughts in the minds on campu«. Dr. Ted Adams received one of the best responses that Meredith students ever gave a speaker as thc - crowded in to hear informal discussions on subjects ranging from de otional life to marriaee problems. .Stunt rehearsals started with the renewed motto of every class this year we ' ll win. The out- come proved to be a decision that all agreed on, and hopes to win next vear again were revived. Spring weather added a colony of blue jays and cardinals to the trees beside the arts building. The court began to look alive again with its leaf-clad trees. Students had the hardship of staying awake in two o ' clock classes along with the usual temptations to pluck daffodils from the faculty garden. Signs of spring were quite numerous — violets by the gymnasium, buds on the cherry trees along the drive, hopscotch games on the paths in the court. Warmer weather helped the days speed b -, bringing the frivolity of play day and the beaut - of May Day pageantry. In April the juniors stayed clad in bluejeans for almost a week getting pre- pared for the annual Junior-Senior. The array of friends, distant cousins, and hastily-made ac- quaintances dressed up the dining hall with an added air of joy e en though seniors found them- sehes somewhat sad at the thought of its being their last big collegiate fling. As the ear neared its close, seniors ijegan packing up their possessions to send back home for good — no blankets to be stored in the attic, no books to be lent to underclassmen, no packing up the bathroom cabinet to use again next year. Another college class graduates: another comes to fill in the gap that it left laehind. Vet each class likes to think that such a gap still remains for their thoughts to wander back and find a lodging place in the memories resulting from 1950-51 events. 157 He: Where?
