M. Massey Foy J. Farmer Carlton S. Prickett Wm. C. Lassiter Eph Whisenhunt To Meredith College Students: We are immediately interested in this edition of the Oak Leaves as an authentic record of scenes, activities, and organizations with which we are now happily identified. It is, we believe, a worthy summary of worthy achievement and worth-while experiences, a Book of Remembrance for years to come. But we must rega rd the year not as achievement but as progress, and this record not as epitaph but as prophecy. My abiding wish is that You shall see greater things than these.

It is devoted to the ideal of promoting a well-rounded student life through developing a high type of Christian ac- tivity, furthering an understanding between faculty and students, setting a high standard of honor and co-operation in the student body, making the honor system a real force on our campus, per- petuating the ideals and traditions of Meredith, and recognizing each year from the rising senior class girls who have proved themselves outstanding in these respects. The society uses the bases of constructive leadership. Christian character, and scholarship in recognizing seniors and juniors as members. «5 nll ' iittnll Hirli(iriiujli iMrL f i, KAPPA NU SIGMA President Leah Scarborough. Patty Melvin Secretary- Treasurer Vice-President hallos, Nous, Sophia — meaning beauty, sound-mindedness, and intelligence — are the Greek words from which Kappa Nu Sigma Honor Society takes its name. Only those students who have achieved a high scholastic standing over a period of two years are elected to membership. Kappa Nu Sigma has as its object the encouraging and rewarding of good scholarship at Meredith College by spon- soring a chapel speaker, an annual spring banquet, and a lecture, and by awarding the Helen Price Scholarship to the freshman having the highest scholastic standing in her class. o V XliU ' rium C U iinwnrilt M iiUiiitrnij MIL i dtfrrll nll WHO ' S WHO IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES Sights of Seniors to Remember History of the Junior Class Third-year girls !

Where did the time go? We spent many precious minutes rushing the freshmen for our societies. This made us feel important. We will always remember May Day, and especially the two lovely girls who represented our class. We are going to miss all of our big sisters very much. We have been too busy to see the months slip away, and here we are- -making the daisy chain for their graduation and reaching the mid-point of our college days. Already we are remembering the past as well as dreaming of the future.

C History of the Freshman Class Wo, the members of the freshman class, embarked September 8, 1954, on a voyage of higher learning. Not knowing exactly what route to take on our voyage, we launched into the deep. Looking around us, we saw other freshmen who were taking the same voyage. On our trip we have encountered many rough waves such as Orien- tation Week and mid-semester and final exams. As we look back upon our freshman year, however, we discover that we had some smooth sailing, including Decision Day, our first week end home, the Big Sister-Little Sister Party, the Corn Huskin ' Bee, dates from State, Christmas caroling. Stunt Night, and May Day week end. At the end of our voyage as freshmen, we can look back and see the progress and accomplishments which have been made; and we ha e come one fourth of our college trip. Spiritually and mentally we have become more mature, for we are learning to loxe e ery day of li ' ing at Meredith.

AND THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Meredith C ' oUcge Athletic Association, with membership of the entire student body, is organized and directed by the A. A. Board, consisting of managers of various sports and activities. The Board is advised by Dr. Weigt, Miss Cunningham. Miss Williams, and Miss Mackay, the faculty of the Department of Health and Physical Education. As a co-operating gi ' oup the Athletic Association has as its aim the pro- motion of interest and skills in various sports and campus activities. Awards are given at the close of each season to players who have been outstanding in ability and sportsmanship. Throughout the year varied campus-wide actixities, which foster the originality of Meredith girls, are sponsored by the A. A. Among these are Playday, the Corn Huskin ' Bee. Christmas C aroling, Good Posture Week, the Horse show, and May Day.

HOOFPRINT CLUB DANCE GROUP SPORTS MANAGERS MONOGRAM CLUB STUDENT GOVERNMENT COUNCIL The Student Go -crnment Association of Mereditli College is an organization of which every student is a member. With its goal as democratic self-government, the Association attempts integration of all campus life, working always toward understanding and co-operation. When it is time for freshmen to arrive in the fall. Student Government Council members are already on campus to offer enthusiastic welcome and helpful guidance. Through hand- book classes, informal gatherings, teas and open houses the new student is given her first introduction to community living on the college campus. For the past two years Council members have served as guides for the week of orientation. The Council brings the ideas and problems of the students to the meeting each Monday night. The student body is always invited to participate and to voice suggestions, not only during this session, but also during office hours and House Council meetings, which precede the regular Student Government Council meetings. Through joint meetings with the Faculty Committee on Student Government, a clear understanding of student problems and a close working harmon - between faculty and students have been maintained. To w ork with the Social Standards Chairman, a Social Standards Committee was organized in the spring of ' 53. It is made up of the class presidents, the society presidents, and class representati es. Through this committee a more extensive social education program has been established. Emphasis has been placed on the best social conduct both on and off the campus. To develop thinking, participating citizens who are loyal to the democratic way of har- monious living and to encourage the application of the principles of the Honor Code in each individual in order to make the Christian spirit of love and friendship uppermost at Meredith — these are aims of our student goxernment. BAPTIST STUDENT UNION An agency of the state-wide and south-wide council of the Baptist denomination and at the same time the co-ordinating group for Christian student work at the college, the Baptist Student Union at Meredith College is made up of all those who take part in any of its many varieties of activities. Through it, there is opportunity for study, worship, and action in fellowship with young men and women from other colleges and universities. Organizational responsiijility i.s borne by an executive council elected in campus-wide elections; the B.S.U. office in first floor Faircloth, almost always open to all comers, serves as headquarters. In membership, in the purpose of translating into attitude and action the truth of the Christian faith, in appreciating and appropriating the special values for Christian growth inherent in this particular college situation, in outreach to believing and learning communities of difTering backgrounds, the B.S.U. is not confined to any group or place. Its program is effective as its purposes are shared and undergirded in the common life of which it is only a part. Through study, group and individual worship, leadership training, through the ministry of giving, and through co-operation with others who ponder the meaning of the human adventure, the B.S.U. seeks to serve the college and the larger community which the college serves. ASTROTEKTON SOCIETY Susie Rucker . . . Elizabeth Jones President Eliza Culberson Secretary . . . Vice-President Nancy Corzine Treasurer Annette Lee Sergeant-at-Arms From our name Astrotekton {astro meaning star, tekton meaning builder) is derived the true inspiration of our society, that is our motto, He builds too low who builds beneath the stars. This inspiration has been manifest in every phase of our activities this year. Rush Week, with all its tenseness, was a wonderful week, with the picnic at Allen ' s Pond, the Pep Rally, and the magnificent Mardi Gras as highlights of our memories. It was fun for all of us, but the fun was just beginning. There were the overnight parties in the hut, the spaghetti supper, the night club; but these were merely a part. In each Astro ' s heart the warmth and thrill of playing Santa Glaus to the children at St. Agnes Hospital will always stay. Our society and its wondrous light will live in the minds and hearts of the sisters of the Gold and White fore er. THE PHILARETIA SOCIETY Ernestine Cottrell President Nancy Reece Vice-President Earline Martin Marcia Horrell . Eleanor Clark . . . Sergeant-at-Arms . Secretary Treasurer This year the Phi society has endeavored to maintain an excellence of thought, feeling, and action not only in the various Rush Week activities in the fall but also in all campus matters throughout the year. Welcome signs and Phido, the mascot, were on hand to greet the freshmen when they arrived last fall. To introduce the new students to the Phis, the fashion show preceding Rush Week featured lovely clothes modeled by representatives from each class; and at the bonfire students were entertained by means of the talents of various Phis. Rush Week was packed full of many activities. Besides the usual early morning serenades, bed making, and favors, there was the Phi Supper Club, which was well received, particularly when the Phi song was sung as a solo. The meaning of this beautiful song inspired a zeal which was evident in the candlelight serenades and visiting and which came to a grand climax on Decision Day. The year has been a very eventful one — with meetings, parties, more fashion shows, and varied other activities with the standard of excellence ever striven for. Old and new students alike have enjoyed participating in society activities this year. May our motto, Plain Living and High Thinking, serve those who stay as well as it has served those who lea e our societv and Meredith. FRESHMAN AND TRANSFER COUNSELORS CloUegc freshmen step into a challenging new world when they enter Meredith, a world of newness and excitement. The counseling program is designed to help the new students meet and overcome any discouragement or problems that they may face. It is the ever-present desire of each counselor and each adviser to help guide the new students into the rich and meaningful experiences that will remain as happy memories of college years. In striving toward these ends, counselors are on hand to greet the freshmen and transfer students and guide them through Orientation Week. The program continues throughout the year with personal visits, individual concern, academic counseling, and monthly meetings. Discussions are held on such topics as study habits, extra- curricular activities, and Meredith traditions. It is believed that each student should learn to recognize and set up her own academic ideals. Christian principles, and social standards befitting a Meredith girl. NOMINATING COMMITTEE It is the difficult but vital task of the Nominating Committee to nominate candidates for all campus organizations, except the clubs, the four classes, and the three honor societies. The Chief Counselor is the chairman of the Nominating Committee. The presidents of major organizations, the editors-in-chief of the publications, and the college marshal compose the rest of the committee. Two faculty members, representatives from the classes, and the dean of students par- ticipate in the proceedings but do not vote. The ever-present aim of the Nominating Committee is to aid in the con- ducting of fair and democratic campaigns and elections. Qualifications of the candidates are at all times considered to be vitally important. DAY STUDENTS Joyce Burns . Betty Smith President . First I Ice-President Fa YE Wheeler .Second Mce-President Marlene Keep. Third 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 hard grind of classes that quickly followed . . . but we loved it. . . . There were those perpetual bridge games at lunch when we all sardined into the second day student ' s room to eat our sandwiches. . . . We think of the way we rushed to catch the bus and then whisked by the Johnson Hall bulletin board for the latest word on when-who-met-where. . . . This hurry, hurry to class along the gravel path to disappear down the long hall in Arts or in Science. . . . We offered sympathetic smiles to the resident students when they complained of that deadline for return after dates, for we loved to pretend that we just NE ' ER had to be in before the wee hours of the morn. . . . Hah! We glowed with gay spirit as we joined the resident students for the annual Christmas caroling tour of Raleigh. . . . Later those crazy presents we got from our beloved schoolmates along with hot chocolate and cookies made us forget the coldness of that night spent in the hut. . . . We declared our majors, then worried over arranging all those required courses. . . . Playday! Again we competed as a unit for honors by playing, playing, playing. Throughout the year we tried to give more of ourselves to Meredith. We day students of Meredith College cherish these memories of another college year. t % MEREDITH COLLEGE PLAYHOUSE Anne Jane Barbrey Mary Kiser .... President J ' ice-President Patricia Anne Allen Secretary RoviLLA Myers Treasurer It is the goal of the Playhouse to bring to our Meredith stage the best in dramatic entertainment. During the fall of 1954 the Playhouse produced James Barrie ' s delightful comedy, Quality Street. The play was a success in every sense of the word, but it was destined to be that from the start, for each Playhouse member put his heart into the production. With the end of this fall production, each new drama enthusiast who had participated either backstage or in the glory of the footlights was wel- comed into full membership in the Playhouse. Immediately everyone began to look forward to the spring production which would give each girl additional points toward membership in Alpha Psi Omega, the national honorary dramatics fraternity, the goal of all Play- house members. THE ACORN The Acorn is Meredith ' s literary magazine. It is made up of the hopes, dreams, and beUefs of Meredith girls. This year The Acorn has sponsored con- tests to promote interest. Without interest it can be nothing for it is by the students and for them. EDITORIAL STAFF Jean Forbes Editor Ann CIashwell Art Editor Trudy Fitzgerald Assistant Editor K.

One can find many reminders of it in our books, newspapers, and magazines and in many public buildings.

H O N O R A R I E S SIGMA PI ALPHA Anne Parr President Ellen Scofield Vice-President Sally Drake . . Marjorie Thore Secretary Sally Roberson Treasurer Publicity All peoples of the world are now neighbors, and for this reason it is more important than it has ever been before for students to learn foreign languages. The Phi Kappa Chapter of Sigma Pi Alpha, national honorary modern language fraternity, seeks to stimulate an interest in and to bring about a better understanding between foreign countries and ours. Membership is determined by scholastic achievement and interest in foreign languages. With the desire to further this interest, Sigma Pi Alpha sponsors lectures, meetings, and parties as a means of better acquainting its members with life and customs in other lands.

More Sights to Remember A Last Familiar Sight That familiar indefinable lump in the chest . . . the going away lump . . . leaving . . . any place that you had made with difficulty and afTection your home ... in fact simply going away. May, finals, graduation . . . Goodljyes, and going away ... To a summer jol , to camp, to Europe . . . To a long, leisurely loaf at home . . . To a summer school, to a permanent job . . . Leaving what we have made our home . . . during our unbelonging years . . . With diffi- culty? For some of us, yes . . . But finally with affection . . . And so the going away lump . . . Because we are leaving the familiar: The seniors ' first walk down the aisle in caps and gowns, The strange characters that came out October 31 to tell tall tales and shuck corn. The week the snows came, The Faculty-Student Playday (Can ' t anyone beat Dr. Canaday?) The crowning of Phoebe as queen of the May Court, And the little things — ants and food from home, bits of plaster in the bathtub, dorm card mistakes, the 4:00 post office rush, room check (D for Coke bottles, B for dust), late night secret-sharing, pennants on the wall, 1 1 :02 — one call down, early breakfast for student teachers, and Best Wishes To You. . . . These things we grumijlcd about them all awav ... As memories — v or laughed or got excited for . ith the rough edges faded awa But ill carrx Sandr. Peterson The engrax ' ing in this 1955 Oak Leaves was executed )y the Lynchburg Engraving Company of Lynchburg, Virginia, and the printing and binding by the Edwards Broughton Company of Raleigh. The art is the product of Sally Lynn Drake, Meredith College, class of ' 55. The photography was done by Smith Studio of Raleigh.
