Someone riding down Hillsborough Street can easily look through the wide-open front gates of Meredith, catching a glimpse of the tree-lined drive; the fountain, spewing liquid color; and the classic grace of Johnson Hall. Surely the beauty is evident even to the most indifferent observer. Surely it is, we affirm. But the beauty, the charm, and the special aura of the campus is much more easily perceived by the members of the Meredith community, for we, as participants, know that beneath the beauty is strength, beneath the charm is loyalty. The special aura is freedom of spirit. There is strength in Meredith ' s academics. She offers vigorous programs to develop the minds of her students. There is strength in her openness to individuals. Due to the variety of options and the small size of the student body, each individual has the chance to contribute her talents in areas ranging from student government to drama, from participation in class to team sports. There is also strength in Meredith ' s determination to ' ' raise the sights of women, to continue women ' s education, and to help students plan their careers. And with the development of each individual the community is strengthened. Loyalty is present at Meredith in the form of close friendships — among suitemates, between big sister and little sister classes, among classmates, between students and faculty. The friendships are shown by the responsive nods given to a classmate who is presenting an oral report, the faculty ' s Alice in Wonderland production, and the throngs of people present at a memorial service. The atmosphere at Meredith is one of freedom. Granted, the rules are present. However, it is not license we seek, but freedom. Our minds are indeed free to explore areas of thought newly-discovered. Our personalities are free to develop through benefiting from the thoughts and ideas of others and through our own new experiences, whether it be in the classroom, in the dorm, in the gym, or simply by the Meredith lake. There is a special aura about Meredith — a unique atmosphere that is the result of hundreds of free, active, creative spirits.

OAK LEAVES 1978 — 11 a place steeped in tradition but When Meredith was conceived in 1835 and finally chartered by the State Legislature in 1891, its stated purpose was a school (to) be modeled and conducted on strictly religious principles. Beginning with the admission of the first student in 1899 it has adhered to these principles. The academic program and all stu- dent activities have always been planned to provide thorough in- struction in the liberal arts and opportunities for spiritual, emo- tional, mental, and physical de- velopment. Meredith in the 1950 ' s was a small college for women headed by a scholarly president. Dr. Car- lyle Campbell, who was well known for his great depth of thinking as revealed through his weekly chapel talks. The college had a demanding curriculum taught by an able and dedicated faculty. Daily chapel, classes until noon on Saturday, Sunday School and church, concerts, and lectures were academic require- ments. There was a strict dress code which meant dresses for class and hats and hose for shop- ping. A strong sense of community was developed by student orga- nizations and clubs, by tradi- tions — Stunt, Corn Huskin ' , Palio, Alice in Wonderland , and Play Day — , and by many faculty members living on cam- pus. Daily schedules included time for worship at morning watch, vesters, and family altar; closed study hours; family style dinners except for bag suppers on Sunday night; and, always, lights out at 11 p.m. Social life was enhanced by nearby colleges — Wake Forest, State, Duke, and Carolina — but was complicated by limited dat- ing privileges and weekends away, chaperones, signing out, strict rules, and call downs. Meredith was known in those days as the Angel Farm. The water tank proudly announced that fact as it towered over the old wooden classrooms and the dormitories around the court. The realities of 1978 are a Pres- ident well-trained in college ad- ministration who must spend almost as many hours away from his desk as in his office; a large body of administrators; faculty to teach an expanded curriculum; an effort to inculcate attitudes and values rather than impose rules; traditions which build up on those of the past but are tai- lored to the present; oppor- tunities for an encouragement to worship rather than require- ments to attend worship ser- vices; emphasis on student re- sponsibility rather than legisla- tion regarding class attendance; and career preparation as a part of every major. Meredith in 1978 continues to rely on her intellectual heritage as she reaches forward to meet the ever changing needs of to- day ' s student. looking towards the future What was Meredith like when you were here? is a ques- tion I am often asked by students and it is not an easy question to answer. While it is simple enough to entertain with a recital of the quaint customs of what is perceived by most of my stu- dents as yesteryear, it is a far more demanding task to talk with clarity about the way we, as a college community, truly were in the 1960 ' s. Usually I beg the real question and choose instead to recount, with a vague sense of self-righteousness to incredulous students, tales of bygone days when things were really tough — when Saturday morning found us in classes; 10 a.m. Monday through Friday in required cha- pel; and everyday, in the skirts we were expected to wear and the classes we were expected to at- tend. One big question most often goes begging again when my classmates ask me their version of the same query: What is Meredith like now ? Virtually always, I am unable to resist the temptation both to scandalize with news of self-limiting hours, unlimited cuts, and cut-offs in the dining hall and to tantalize with accounts of exciting options like Co-ops, special studies, and the London program. When pushed to answer the basic question of what Meredith was and is really like, however, I am confronted with the paradox that while, in the decade and half since I matriculated as a freshman, everything is changed, everything is still very much the same. As the 1970 ' s are freer times than the early 1960 ' s, no doubt because of the campus unrest of the late 1960 ' s, so Meredith today is a freer com- munity than Meredith of my day. In fact, as a college where stu- dents participate fully in the pro- cess of governing their academic and personal lives, Meredith today is very much what we wanted it to be when I was a stu- dent. Therein, perhaps, is the key to Meredith ' s unchanging dimension. As an in- stitution committed to change in response to the times, Meredith has demonstrated not only its own viability and vitality but also that of the educational val- ues expressed in its statement of purposes. Unaltered and unal- terable is the special community that exists when students and teachers come together at any point in time to pursue in an atmosphere of freedom and commitment those ideals. In- formed by its past, celebrating its present, excited about its future, the real Meredith is for me a col- lege everchanging and never- changing. I should be unhappy to think it might ever be other- wise. ' 1, i ' 15 . ' ■i ' !

Dr. Norma Rose spoke these words and more in tribute to Dr. Arthur Carlyle Campbell, leader, administrator, arbiter, pace-setter, peace-maker, taskmaster, guardian of ideals, who served as president of Meredith College for 27 years. He died suddenly at his home on the morning of July 28, 1977, at the ag of 82 years. The son of the founder of Campbell College in Buies Creek, Dr. Campbell attended Buies Creek Academy now Campbell College), received his A.B. and A.M. degrees from Wake Forest University, and did graduate study at Columbia University. Dr. Campbell, at sixteen years of age, was the youngest graduate on record at Wake Forest University. He taught at Buies Creek Academy, 1911-1917 and 1919-1920; was head of the Department of English at Coker College in South CaroHna, 1923-1925; was president of Coker College, 1925-1936; and was head of the Department of English at North Carolina State University, 1937-1939. The University of South Carolina and Wake Forest University honored him with L.L.D. degrees, and Campbell honored him with the L.H.D. degree. Dr. Campbell was honored in 1975 by the North Carolina Association of Colleges and Universities by being presented the McEniry Award for service to and humanitarianism in higher education. He was president of the State Literary and Historical Association, 1946-1949; president. North Carolina College Conference, 1953-1954; president, Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, 1953-1954; and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. His mind was, no doubt, the great tool which he brought to the problems and challenges of college administration, but the character of the man was the determining force in his use of that intellect. Spiritual values and integrity were the foundation stones on which he built his forceful and exemplary life. 16 — OAK LEAVES 1978 in memory of two men who strongly loving service and dedication. The Editors Dr. Ralph McLain 1909-1977 Professor of Religion, 1945-1977 Head of Department, 1945-1968 So many times I remember walking ast his office and hearing the life in his Dice. There was always someone in his ffice either asking a question about a leological problem in their course or Dout some illness that one of their lants had. His knowledge could keep you under spell for hours. I remember one time ' hen he really got excited about how to loose an avocado and to prepare it for iting. Now I know why his homemade :e cream was the best I had ever tasted - his main ingredients were himself nd love for everything around him. He showed that best by his concern )r students. With every word he 3oke, the listener received a piece of ' r. Mac. One statement that Dr. McLain made in my Psychology of Religion class has meant a great deal to me and has greatly influenced my life. He said that we must learn to reap the grain from the chaff. From that I have learned to let the winds of God thresh out the chaff. This is how one student remembers Dr. Ralph McLain, a teacher, a friend, and a loving gardener of life. Dr. McLain served Meredith College in a number of capacities. He joined the Meredith faculty in 1945 as chairman of the Department of Religion and Philosophy. In addition to teaching such courses as The Religions of Mankind, Christian Education, or Psychology of Religion, Dr. McLain was chairman of the Meredith School of Christian Studies which brought noted theologians to study at Meredith. He represented Meredith as chairman of its committee of the Commission on Christian Higher Education. Dr. McLain, an avid organic gardener, was also recognized by friends and students as one of those special green-thumb persons. He taught organic gardening courses in the Meredith Continuing Education Program. Dr. McLain ' s life was further rounded by extensive travel in the United States and abroad, by articles published in a number of religious journals and periodicals, by interim pastorships, and by membership in a number of national religious societies and associations. In June 1974, Dr. McLain was chosen Outstanding Christian Teacher at Meredith.

Through this office there enter many special students who wish to earn degrees after some years away from academia. Many other women — and men too — take enrichment courses to develop hobbies and cultivate special interests. A fast-growing area of special programs in which several seminars are offered is that of career advancement in management. The RSW program is now directed from the new office and its seminars on life direction, decision making, and leadership are spreading to high school students as well as to older women.

Randell Peyser OAK LEAVES 1978—35 Faculty 1 CHEMISTir J ' IHH - I i- s i ir Clara Bunn — Chairman, Biology The biology and chemistry departments at Meredith strive to fulfill a unique goal. They must each possess a broad enough curriculum to prepare their majors for such varied future occupations as teaching, researching, medical, veterinarial, or dental practice. While completing her required courses, a science major may choose to select the special studies option and independently pursue a topic which interests her. Few other departments at Meredith can offer such tantalizing research possibilities as these: how fuzzy-footed insects know to hide in ceiling comers where they can ' t be swatted with a shoe, how micro-organisms from lab can follow a biology major home and infect her suite, and why chemistry students have to memorize those weird chemical equations that Einstien would not remember. Although no professor would give credit for pursuing any of the topics listed above (they have already been answered), plenty of worthwhile questions still remain in this everchanging field. Another unique aspect of science concerns its application to the practical things of life. During laboratory classes, science majors can dabble with chemical compounds, microscopes, and Petri dishes, reinforcing the concepts learned in lecture classes by experimentation. Few other liberal arts courses offer such direct preparation for future medical and industrial research occupations. Although the science departments at Meredith are rigorous, most science majors agree that without the help of those dedicated biology and chemistry professors, they would never grasp all the tidbits of knowledge and laboratory technique required for competence in today ' s keen job market. James Eads 36 — OAK LEAVES 1978 Robert Hellwig Richard Neely The selection of a major can ultimately be the underlying basis for one ' s future endeavors in life. A major in business administration at Meredith compliments one ' s foundation in liberal arts while providing one with the vital elements of knowledge around which society revolves. Through a major in business administration, one can choose a specific area of concentration and from there acquire decision making, communication, problem solving, and personnel skills as well as develop an understanding of organizing, planning, and controlling techniques. There exist limitless opportunities in the field of business administration, opportunities which are ready and waiting for that special someone with a career committment. The department of business and economics at Meredith, too, is ready and waiting for that special someone who desires a challenge and an exciting diversification. The department has doubled in the last four years ... a clear indication of the opportunities and growing need for a committment to the world of business.

In the same international line, our well-traveled Dr. Gates has been known to pass out chocolate marshmellow candy to students before Christmas vacation. And what other college is blessed with an Abraham Lincoln who combines the talent of teaching political science with the domesticity of preparing yogurt each morning for his young daughter? Last but not least, we have our unique married team — the Grubbs.

Thomas Parramore Charles Stewart OAK LEAVES 1978 — 41 Faculty HOME ECONdill The highlight of the senior year for any home economics major is living in the Brewer Home Management House. This experience draws together everything learned in the major areas of study: foods and nutrition, marriage and the family, and home management. We were a family, the six of us, sharing eighteen days of fun, laughter, not to mention hard work. Each girl had her own duties, which she changed every three days. We each nervously awaited the days when we had to cook. It was a different experience from making those simple dishes in introductory foods, but it was at a more relaxed pace than meal management. Remember what a lifesaver it was to have a microwave oven for quick cooking and a dishwasher for quick cleanups? During our days of being a maid, we each discovered how easy it was to vacuum with a self-propelled vacuum cleaner and how hard it was to scrub the floor with a self-propelled mop. We each had to buy an item for the house during our stay there. We went to great extremes in our buying, from a plain old vegetable brush to four beautiful bedspreads. Then came the time when we had to keep a baby for one day. We kept a beautiful baby girl whose favorite thing to eat was peanut butter sandwiches. Even though we did have to get up every morning to have breakfast at 7:30 am, and had to go to bed late after struggling with inventories and menus, we all managed to make it through the experience very well. After all, it is not a matter of survival, but a matter of getting along with the rest of the family. Marilyn Stuber — Chairman Betty Cook Kay Friedrich 42 — OAK LEAVES 1978 Susan Meadows Charles Davis — Chairman J i rHEMATICS B ' M Martha Bouknight Where have all trie numbers gone? This question is frequently grumbled by math majors as they struggle with x ' s and y ' s ; sin ' s, cos ' s, and tan ' s ; and Pi ' s and log ' s. Even the letters have changed. There are no simple A ' s, B ' s and C ' s. Now everything is Greek with alpha ' s, beta ' s and gamma ' s . . But among all the grumbles, math majors realize what an advantageous place they hold at Meredith. One will seldom find a math major in the library struggling over a research paper or in the lab trying to distinguish between the paramesium on the slide and her eyelash. A math major simply solves all the problems and proves all the theorems and she is finished. She even has the choice of obtaining the knowledge in class or through a self-paced independent study. Once she has completed her four years at Meredith, there are many directions in which she can head. Jobs in the business world, in computer science, and in teaching mathematics are available. Graduate schools look favorably on math majors for law degrees, studies in statistics, and MBA programs. And of course a Meredith math major should never have problems balancing her budget or her checkbook. Dorothy Preston Olive Taylor OAK LEAVES 1978 — 43 Faculty Dear Mom and Dad, There are just so many possibilities open for a music major that I ' d never dreamed about! Of course, when I came here, 1 thought that voice was my future vocation and someday 1 would be a part of the Met. After all, I can sing Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes with the greatest of ease. Now I ' ve discovered millions of girls headed in the same di- rection and the competition is stiff. Perhaps I ' ll major in piano. Re- member those lessons I had so long ago? Well, they seem to have paid off. I ' m a virtuoso pianist! Just the other day, I performed the Maple Leaf Rag on student recital! Since I ' m doing so well in piano, though, I think I ' d really like to try some organ lessons. Wouldn ' t you be impressed if your daughter turned out to be J.S. Bach, Jr.? Better yet, 1 could be a teacher and major in music education. In methods, I ' ll sing, dance and clap to neat songs like Ding Dong Daddy and The Hobblin ' Gobblin ' . I ' ll learn all about lesson plans and will shake in my boots when the time comes to actually use them in my student teaching. Well, I ' m looking forward to seeing you. Love, Your Meredith Angel W.

I PSYCHOLOGY i ihn Huber — Chai: This is Reginald Reporter for WPSY. Welcome to Know Your Department. Our guest today is Penelope Psychology who is ready to tell us about the true story of what it is like to be a psychology major at Meredith College. Miss Psychology, what are some of the requirements for psychology majors? Our department only requires 28 hours of courses in psychology to obtain a degree. Many interesting courses available include learning, animal behavior, theories of personality, psychology of women, and developmental, to name a few. One of the nice things about a major in psychology is that it is relatively easy to double major in it and something else. Can you tell me a little about the faculty? Yes. We have four faculty members, three of which have come to Meredith within the past five years. Our faculty are very excited about the evolution of a more modem curriculum, and they strive to keep the department as up-to-date as possible. They are quite active in psychological affairs in the community as well as in the country. Tell me some of the outside activities that a psychology major can get involved in. Like most schools, we have a psychology club that is open to all members, and we have an honorary society called Psi Chi that outstanding psychology majors are invited to join. Meredith also co-sponsors a yearly Carolinas Conference with N.C. State. At this conference, undergraduate students have the opportunity to present papers and share the research that they have been working on. Films are shown throughout the day, and there is a relatively well-known guest speaker. Students are also urged to go to the Eastern Psychological Association Conference where well-known psychologists as well as students present papers. There are also opportunities to get involved in the Saturday morning P. A.G.E. (Parents for the Advancement of Gifted Education) program, and almost any individual research or study program that a student finds interesting. Thank you Miss Psychology. One last question .... is it true that psychology majors have to handle rats? Yes Mr. Reporter. While taking experimental psychology, all students are assigned a rat to have and to hold until the end of the semester. It is amazing, though, how many of these animals end up as well-loved pets. They are kept in the colony room of our brand new eight-room lab. Our lab is one of the nicest undergraduate labs in this area, and it is used for running all sorts of experiments with people as well as with animals. Thank you again Miss Psychology. This is Reginald Reporter saying join us next week on WPSY for Know Your Department. OAK LEAVES 1978 — 47 raculty RELIGION Meredith girls major iri religion for many different reasons. Some plan to go into Christian Education or to enter into ministry, and others simply have an interest in the field. Courses offered seem to be just as varied as the reasons given for taking them. On one hand, there are courses geared to careers; and on the other hand are courses focusing on a scholarly study of the Bible. Still other courses help us explore and com- pare other religions of the world and assist us in forming our values from a Christian perspective. Roger Crook — Chairman Bernard Cochran Stewart Newman Allen Page Martha Smith 48 — OAK LEAVES 1978 fcMfe :: .. -_ . . .. 1 f K ie Syron — Chairman What about our society? Is it for real? Do groups make individuals or do indi- viduals make groups? Shall we follow the traditional norms or make for change? Our sociology and social work department here at Meredith strives to create an atmosphere suitable for us as sociology majors to answer these ques- tions and millions of others using our own concepts of society and its compo- nents. Through the study of our society and its makeup, we gian knowledge of our- selves and our fellow man. Studying so- ciology could be compared to taking a journey around the world. Through our studies, we gain insight into various cultures, traditions, norms, etc. We st- rive to see the real individual or group, which ever is the most superior in one ' s belief. The department of sociology and so- cial work at Meredith has grown tre- mendously over the past few years. With each spurt of growth, we are mak- ing changes for the betterment of our department and its majors. People need people ... and with this in mind, our professors prepare us for the waiting world out there and its every need. Cynthia Bishop Wilmoth Carter Patricia Ramsey J 1 m 1 H .

She looks back and feels herself moving faster and faster from the life she has led until now. She looks back at freshman composition papers or early art projects and wonders at the greater amount of skill she has since developed. She registers for classes for the last time, inspired to make this the best semester ever. She listens fondly as others discuss on which hall they want to live next year and with whom they plan to room or suite. As she looks ahead and begins to make the transition, she finds that friendships are suddenly stronger and dearer and that the concept of home is undergoing a change. She will soon be breaking out of the parents-siblings-self group to set up an independent household or one with a roommate or husband. Her transition steps may include a graduation check to make sure she has met academic requirements, resumes and numerous interviews with prospective employers, wedding plans, apartment hunting, or student teaching and field placement. Her final steps as a Meredith senior are truly special. She marches toward graduation with anticipation, excitement, fear — all coupled with a new exhilaration, a new appreciation of living.

Meredith — our Guiding Light in a world often filled with gloom. We came here so Young and Restless four years ago. In our Search for Tomorrow, we have discovered a Love of Life and great enthusiasm at Meredith. Our time here has calmed the Secret Storm in each of us. We now re alize that we have only One Life to Live and that we must pursue success with as much strength and Hope as the Ryan ' s possess. We will remember studying from the Edge of Night until dawn for exams, and then feeling like admitting ourselves to General Hospital for recuperation and a series of sanity tests by the Doctors. We have begun to understand how our society works As The World Turns at a faster pace each and every day. Meredith is Another World with a warm, family-like atmosphere. As we graduate, we take with us so many friendships and wonderful memories to relate to All Our Children.

We smiled at friends as we remembered the countless times we had prepared for this moment during orientation. As sophomores, we listened intently to the speaker and felt challenged to make ourselves students of which our founders would be proud. As juniors, we watched the seniors march in their caps and gowns, realizing for the first time how exciting an experience it must be and how far-thinking founders had given us marvelous educational opportunities. As seniors, we donned our caps and gowns excitedly, like little girls dressing up in their mother ' s high heels and lipstick. As we marched into the auditorium, we thought of what we would miss at Meredith, silently thanking those early founders for the heritage of Meredith College. JANET ALDRIDGE MANN Raleigh, N.C.

It was a sentimental occasion as seniors bade :lose friends and fellow classmates jood-byes and good wishes. Refreshments were enjoyed as seniors and faculty talked of plans and dreams. May graduates felt the reality, perhaps for the first time, that their college days were nearing a close, and certainly many renewed personal vows for better study habits, more good times and greater appreciation of college friendships. December graduates vowed to use wisely the education and experiences of their alma mater. LAURA ANNE SMITH Baltimore, Md. Business Administration AMY ANNETTE SNIPES Menola, N.C.

Below, Sharon Nixon :an work circles around everyone else in her flat pattern class. UNENDING CIRCLES Caught in a fast and furious circle of English conferences, biology labs, Thursday nights at Zac ' s, shopping sprees at Crabtree, and an occasional date with Carlyle, our busy lives are governed by the sound of alarm clocks, class bells, and hall phones. It is a hurried, and for the most part, disorganized life, but now, after two years at the Angel Farm, we have adjusted to our roles as bustling angels. (Only occasionally now do our wings flop and our halos go unshined . . . ) By now, most of us have declared our majors, and at last seem to be working toward a definite goal. We have at least partially answered the questions of who we are and where we ' re going, and for the moment, seem fairly satisfied with the answers that we ' ve found. Getting our class rings in the late fall seemed to unite us in spirit, and together we started looking ahead to that ominous, yet exciting future. Graduation now is only a stone ' s throw away, but among cheery smiles of anticipation, there can be found a few watery eyes as well. This is our home, and it is where we are comfortable. It is here that we have come together for a brief second in time to learn together, to laugh together, and to love together. Certainly the passing of time will separate us, but for today, we are one, and our lives are joined under a broad circle of friendship. Together we laugh and cry, study and play, dream and work. The fun times are more fun, and the sad times are more bearable because we do it together. And so, as we are caught in the midst of the unending circles of books, activities, and dreams, it is the circle of friendship that unites them all and brings us together under a common bond. It is the one that makes us so happily contented we forget that time is passing by . . .

OAK LEAVES 1978 Transition When we arrived on campus last year, it seemed like an eternity before our sophomore year would begin, let alone be ending. Yet, the year is coming to a close, and we have faced all the big decisions about majors (some of us are still contemplating!), the long hours of debating whether to transfer or to stick it out and graduate as an honorable angel , and then the many fragmented thoughts of exactly what direction we want our lives to take. Then there were the serious moments filled with fun and laughter. We can still the closeness that our class experienced as we struggled through all of the waterfights, dorm raids, mid-morning phone calls, and of course, the long hours of script-writing in our efforts to win Comhuskin ' . We remember the ecstasy that we felt after winning and the privilege of knowing that it was the first time in 24 years that the sophomore class had won! And then there was the less successful Stunt presentation, which was lots of fun, although no winning title fell upon us. And now as our sophomore year ends, beautiful yet sad thoughts flood our minds as we realize that our Big Sisters are leaving us behind, perhaps never to be seen again. No longer will their smiling faces be seen on campus. Above, The class of 1980 reminds Meredith of their ever-present class spirit as they prepare for Derby Day. Left, Sue Ipock experiments with an alternative to the Meredith cafeteria. or their words of wisdom be heard. Yet our excitement grows at the thought of our opportunity to become a Big Sister (sounds great doesn ' t it?) to some lost and lonely freshman and the hope that we can instill in our Little Sister a bit of the friendship, excitement, inspiration, and love that our Big Sisters have left with us. Yes, it has been a great year and one that we will never forget!

But theatre here represents more than just technicians, a director, actors, and stagehands coming together to play. You not only participate and promote, but also stand back and admire the fas- cinating metamorphosis of rough boards and forgotten lines into the ex- citement, sparkle, and glamour of open- ing night. So what kind of person tolerates re- hearsals seven days a week, and at 9 a.m. on Saturdays? Some are artistic, some thrive on the pressure, but all meet the challenge and enjoy the ac- complishment of turning limited re- sources into a fantasy, whether it be a London ghetto. Pooh Bear ' s forest and friends, or pre-war Nazi Germany. This past year has also meant work- ing under different circumstances, such as singing Mark the Knife amid the renovation plaster dust of Jones. How- ever, regardless of gruelling work, blis- tered hands, and long hours, people continue to return for show after show, a part of that indescribable yet com- manding spirit of theatre. And on Opening Night, when you suddenly realize that the audience is yours — well, that ' s what theatre is all about!

OAK LEAVES 1978 — 149 Opportunities Oak Leaves The yearbook staff started OAK LEAVES 1978 on August 23, 1977 — an early start. And of course we were up until all hours finishing each deadline as it was due. The year was full of good times and disappointments, of hard work and fun. To begin work on a 224-page book of memories, we found that we had to start at the beginning — with planning and learning. The editors talked of themes, art work, cover designs, and ti- tles of division. The staff, most of whom had never served on a yearbook staff before, met weekly and even one Saturday to learn all about cropping, layouts, fitting copy, and artistic de- sign. Then it was down to work — and the realization that everything took three times as long as we had thought it would, and it didn ' t always work out the way we wanted it to. We all put in many long hours of work (some more than others) to produce this book of memories and we are proud of it.

Tennis Team Meredith College offers a unique op- portunity to all its students to partici- pate in interscholastic sports, and this is illustrated by the varsity tennis team. It is reassuring to know that every stu- dent at Meredith has the opportunity to try out for its tennis team on an equal basis — ability and self-motivation are the important factors for every girl, without the preferential treatment that is common under a scholarship system. As a three-year member of the tennis team, I can personally attest to the fact that this experience has not only given the team members an opportunity to maintain their interest in the sport of tennis, but also allowed us to form many friendships that are far more trea- sured than any tennis experience. Under the leadership of Jay Massey and Jack Huber, we have learned how to work together with others to achieve a common goal, and although winning has never been overly emphasized, the non-scholarship Meredith College ten- nis team has managed to compete suc- cessfully against schools with schol- arship players that are seemingly ob- sessed with winning at all costs. Being a member of the Meredith College tennis team has been a very rewarding experi- ence.

Melea Madden Faculty Advisors Tom Parramore Bill Norton The Twig The Twig, the weekly newspaper of Meredith, is vital to the total education of the community, faculty as well as students. All interested students and faculty are asked to contribute to the paper in the form of stories, letters, pictures, cartoons and editorials. The freedom given to the entire staff initiates a sense of responsibility, a sense of curiosity, and a sense of creativity, evident in each issue. This year the newspaper has explored campus issues such as security, litter, safety precautions, student leader responsibility, tuition, student government legislation, and heritage. Broader issues like the women ' s movement, community responsibility, volunteerism, and human rights were also discussed in editorials and feature stories. The purpose of this newspaper is to present the news correctly, explore controversial problems on and off campus, and provide the medium for student and faculty comment in areas of concern. Opportunities Volleyball Team The Meredith Volleyball teaii was under the direction of a newcomer to the Meredith campus. Ms. Debbie Ed- wards, a 1976 graduate of ASU took on the responsibility of coaching 10 girls to a 10 — 13 season. It was a hard season with the usual trials and tribulations. The team won their first game in the Tournament and lost the second game in a close match with ACC. The team placed two mem- bers on the All-Tournament team, Cathy Wright and Mary Margaret Steele. The team chose Martha Mitchell as Most Valuable Player, Becky Am- mons, Most spirited, Qwgen Duong as Most Improved, and Cathy Wright as recipient of the Coaches ' Award.

OAK LEAVES 1978 — 167 Events Meredith Abroad Perhaps you have noticed during the first week of classes a lot of tired- looking people complaining of jet-lag. Cadbury candy bar withdrawal pains, and concern over the fact that the cafeteria is not open for afternoon tea. A close inspection will reveal that we are not really British exchange students, but rather the Meredith Abroad group just home from an exciting and reward- ing summer in England. Coordinated by Mrs. Betty Brewer, the overall program included British and American lectures, various field trips throughout England, and a selec- tion of courses taught by Mrs. Brewer, Dr. Bernard Cochran, and Mrs. Evelyn Simmons. Ask the individuals in our group, what was England like? and you will receive at least forty different answers: mastering the tube and double-decker buses, hearing Big Ben strike 10 p.m. while watching the light glisten on the Thames, or walking down to Dr. Rose ' s for Diet pepsi. Shandy, and various other refreshments. Others will comment on seeing real live Shakespearean drama in Stratford, sitting in the middle of elegant couples at Simpsons, or feeding the pigeons at Trafalgar Square. Undoubtedly, you will hear stories of seeing Jimmy Con- ners at Wimbledon. The Lindisfarne Gospels at the British Museum, and a few will even swear that the wife of Bathe was indeed at Canterbury Cathedral. From the maddening rush of Pic- cadilly Circus to the quiet, shady gar- dens of St. James Park, London has be- come a part of the Meredith communi- ty. There many discover that learning can be more than a hectic night of hit- ting the books, as we walk down the streets that Dickens wrote about, explore our own values through the plays in London Theaters, and change our pounds down at L-loyds Bank. Most of us could not resist ' plugging into ' a little of Wordsworth ' s poetry while in the Lake District. We learned about the British this summer, but we also discovered some new insights about ourselves. Although we have been back two weeks now, a warm feeling remains that might be cal- led the London glow. Looking back, we see that we have become more in- dependent, more flexible people — goals that we set for ourselves from the beginning. At the same time, we ap- preciate even more the community spirit that is Meredith, as we think of the special friendships that were formed during our summer in London. On Tuesday night, August 23, 1977, after almost every Meredith student had straightened out her schedule and purchased all of her books and was ready to begin fresh on a new semester, a busload of ragged-looking students pulled into Meredith. Who were these people who looked as if they had traveled to another planet and not slept a wink the entire time that they were gone? It was the Meredith Abroad group returning from eight weeks in London which ended in a 42-hour trip home due to an infamous British strike (or more officially a slowdown) by the air traffic controllers. In spite of all the problems the group had returning to Meredith, everyone involved was glad she had gone and ready to return. This page: Above, At the group ' s farewell party, the professors (alias friends) who led the group accept their new titles, which made headlines in The London Gleaner. Below, The sign announcing that the residence hall had been reached is a welcome sight for tired feet after a day of walking all over London. Oppo- site page: If this group of students looks tired, it ' s only because they have writ- ten three papers, taken two exams, and visited five museums in the past two days — plus spent all of their money on those last-minute souvenirs. The farewell party seems a good place to relax and unwind. OAK LEAVES 1978 Why India? After reading Mandula by Pearl Buck, a novel about India, last year, I was determined that I would some day get there. When I found out that the Experiment in International Living in Raleigh was offering a community ambassadorship to India, I enthusiastically applied and was accepted. My summer consisted of a three-week homestay with an Indian family and about two months of travel. While living with the family I learned about the culture through living as a family member in that country. While traveling, which I did alone for most of the time because my traveling friend left for home due to illness, I saw much of central and northern India. I covered about 2,000 miles, mostly by bus and train, and met many people as well as saw many unfamiliar, new sights. As the 1977 Community ambassador, I am now giving slide shows and talking about India throughout Raleigh. I feel like learning about others through living with them is one of the most educational experiences one could have. Parlez-vous Francais? Summer of 1977, I traveled to France with the Experiment in International Living. For the first three weeks of my stay, I lived with a childless, young couple. Although they spoke no English and I spoke a limited amount of French, they were understanding, encouraging me to speak until I felt comfortable. After the three week period with my family, 1 traveled around the southern part of France with a group of French and American students. Some of my experiences during the travel period included touring cities, visiting museums, and watching people at French side walk cafes. During this period I had the opportunity to attend a festival in Avignon, to camp in a French camping ground, and to visit the Mediterrean Sea. My summer in France gave me a chance to understand people of another culture. This has helped my understanding of our world and its people.

When will she ever quit talking? During the fall of 1977, it seemed that Meredith College had employed the telephone man as a full time member of the staff. Besides installing telephones in the dormitory rooms. Southern Bell was installing a new telephone system for the college. It seems obvious that the installation of this new system is not a waste of money. Despite its complexities, the new system can better meet the needs of the community by offering the ability to transfer calls from one extension to another and allowing for more outside lines. Instruction meetings were held by Southern Bell for people who would be using the new campus telephones. After an audio-visual explanation of the phone system ' s special features, these faculty, staff and students, commonly confused, practiced using the new features in imaginary situations. Teachers, students, and local artists bought booths at the Meredith Art Club Fair on October 22 1977, to show and sell their works.

Threepenny Opera Is A Success Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear, And he shows them pearly white. Speaking of showing teeth, that ' s what the cast of The Threepenny Opera was doing as some laughed and grinned nervously on their opening night. The six weeks before the show were full of long hours and hard, dedicated work. Nancy Truesdale, director, along with musical consultant, Jane Sullivan, kept the cast on their toes with their constant demands for more energy. Aside from all the drudgery, the cast had many good times meeting new faces and sharing inventive ideas. The sense of humor of Craig Bromby, who played Tiger Brown, along with many others created a jovial atmosphere. All of these things led up to the opening night when the notorious Captain Macheath appeared on stage with his ivory cane and yellow kid gloves. His suave manner captured the heart of everyone, including Polly Peachum; her mother, Mrs. Peachum; and even Queen Victoria, who in the end is responsible for saving his life.

I have never seen so many, and they are all yellow! These were the thoughts that continually ran through the heads of all the faithful Astro members as they deligently worked on rush. Our work consisted of cutting out goats and stars, putting together song books, packaging cookies, decorating halls, and practic- ing our skit and songs. Many hours went into rush week and even though we acquired forty some new members, we feel that it would have been much more of a success if more freshmen and transfers had been in attendance on rush night. 188 — Oak Leaves 1978 It ' s a Long and Winding Road . . .

The future must be of unified races and knowledge to survive. The Black Emphasis Week of 1978 made each student consider her responsibility in reaching this goal. Left, Jackie Mills and Joyce Montgomery dress in typical African Attire for African night in the cafeteria during Black Emphasis Week. Above and below, Raleigh artist James and E. Rainey Huff exhibit their realistic portraitures of black women and children, primarily, during Black Emphasis Week.

I put on my overalls, straw hat, and white socks and headed on down to the gym because just everybody would be there. It was rumored that guys would be there. Outside the main door there were tables full of goodies. Not knowing which to choose, I had some of everything. Before I could even get in the door, a girl handed me a doorprize ticket that I did not have to pay for. There were so many things going on that 1 could hardly decide where to go first. There was a cake walk, musical chairs, bingo, a burlesque show, a kissing booth, and all sorts of games sponsored by different clubs of classes on campus and even some fraternities were there. I ran around all evening having the best time trying to do everything. The fun continued after the games with a blue grass band. The evening was great! I can not wait till next year because maybe then I will have enough nerve to try the Kissing Booth. ■— l-T COUNTRY CM NIVAL y nm Top: Co-chairmen Holly Hepler and Susan Whitley pose in the farmyard at the Country Carnival.

OAK LEAVES 1978 — 193 Events Tradition The Rev. C. Mark Corts, president of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, emphasized the role of Chris- tian higher education in Christian mis- sion and service in the February 24 Founders ' Day address. The prepara- tion of Christian men and women for Christian mission, whether lay or voca- tional, can still be most effectively ac- complished in a distinctive institution of Christian higher education. It is es- sential, however, that the institution remain distinctive. If missions and ed- ucation will be accomplished commen- surately, it will require a new spirit of cooperation between churches and the institutions which they support. A wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial to Thomas Meredith began the day ' s activities, which also included a special program on the Meredith heritage, tours of the campus, recitals by music majors, open classes, a feature recital by the Meredith Ensemble and an exhibition of Oriental art by Lillian Sun-hsi Lu, a 1953 Meredith graduate.

The Blood Knot, a play by Athol Fugard, was performed in Jones Auditorium on Feb- ruary 28, 1978, sponsored by the Concerts and Lectures Committee. The play is a two character exploration of modem South Africa in conflict. It shows two brothers, one dark skinned and one who could pass for white, who live under the shadow of apartheid. Below, the two brothers agonize over the division their society has caused between them. The Big Apple Where do most girls go over Spring Break? Home or Florida. Where did one group of Meredith students go? To New York City where it was cold! The trip was sponsored by the Career Planning Office, its purpose being to introduce students to various career choices. On the itinerary were visits to an advertis- ing agency, a stock brockerage, an in- surance company, a textile company, and a newspaper. The companies pro- vided special tours, tailored to career choices available to Meredith graduat- es. In addition to the company tours, the group attended a Broadway play, had dinner at Mama Leones, visited the Museum of Modern Art, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Macys. Since Allied Chemicals covered part of the cost, the girls had an educational and enjoyable trip for a small price.

Terry Christian as An- dromena is their student hostess. 1932 — 1978 — 2030 Stunt 1978 got off to a great start with a remarkably well-done take-off on the Waltons — The Floortons. Betty Girl and the rest of the Floortons entertained the audience with their Southern hospi- tality extended to Joe College. Follow- ing the Freshmen, the audience was taken to the Class of 1980 ' s 50th reun- ion. Andromena and the rest of the coneheads showed how life for Meredith coeds will be in the future. The Senior Class returned to the present with an excursion to the Maze Mart. This stunning parody on K-Mart gave the Seniors a second place in Stunt. Once again the Class of 1979 pulled through with a spectacular victory. Maybe it was the Twin Twirlies, or the Goose Lake Ballet, or even the Space Cadets that assured the win. But many feel that the wonderful rendition of Flies by the team of him and her top- ped the list. Of course, the Idiot Inter- tainment Hour would not have been complete without the interesting com- mercials by Phanette Anecello and Georgana SUdden, or without the witty MC — Leon Stradapunkdunk. Perhaps it was simply a winning combination ot acts.

OAK LEAVES 1978 — 199 Events Future Economics Now is the time to view the global crisis, to prepare ourselves for future events and to act to alter the outcomes if we do not like those that appear likely, Evelyn P. Simmons, professor of eco- nomics, said during the Distinguished Faculty Lecture in Jones Auditorium on Tuesday, March 21. In her lecture enti- tled Whither the World? Ms. Sim- mons discussed such crises as popula- tion, energy, resource, scarcity, pollu- tion, weakening of the biosphere, and confrontations between the developed and less developed countries of the North and the South. Many of the world ' s present problems can be les- sened by developments in technology, Ms. Simmons said, but she warned that some control must be exercised. A member of the Meredith faculty since 1962, Ms. Simmons has also traveled and attended seminars in Rural and Urban Development in India and Pakistan. She is an officer in the Triangle International Trade Associa- tion and has been active in promoting economic education through the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce. Caryll Cunningham and Liz Wester count votes after one of the spring elections. 200 — OAK What Future For My Generation? What Future For My Generation? an RSW-sponsored symposium held March 28-31, explored intellectual, eco- nomic, environmental, political, health, and career conditions in the future through the media of film, lecture, plan, and seminar. The intensiv e program integrated the ideas and leadership of Meredith facul- ty, alumnae, classes, and clubs with state and national authorities. An invi- tational exhibit by v omen artists, The Family of Man photography exhibit, Dr. John Weems ' holograms, various films, a bulletin, and a book display were among special programs held in connection with the symposium.

The main speaker was Dr. Roger Fouts, shown above. Dr. Fouts spoke on Two Way Communication Between Man and Chimpanzee. Special for Meredith students was the presentation of two papers by Psychology majors here. Frannie Yarur, Coleen Strother, and Lynn Kane presented their results on undernutrition in adult animals.

Alpha Psi Omega, the dramatic honorary fraternity, sponsors an even- ing of one-act plays each spring. At this time, senior drama minors are encour- aged to direct a play of their choice. Tht short rehearsal period provides an op- portunity for many students who do nol have time for the extended rehearsals ol the full-length plays to express theii creative talents. This year on April 12 and 14, Graybeard and Silent Snow, Secret Snow were performed to stand- ing room only crowds. Graybeard, directed by Nancy Truesdale, revolves around four women of varying ages who view life from different perspec- tives. Silent Snow, Secret Snow, di- rected by Kim Hewlett, deals with an adolescent who can not cope with her environment and retreats into a world of snow. Approximately 25 actors and actresses participated in the shows, which served as the debut performance for the new Studio Theatre located in Jones Auditorium. 204 — OAK LEAVES 1978 First Annual Meredith Choral Festival The Meredith College Department of Music and the Performing Arts held a choral festival in April. The festival was a first at Meredith and is sure to be the first of many more to come. The event took place during the weekend of April 14-16. Two visiting colleges, along with the Meredith Col- lege Chorale and Renaissance Singers participated in the festival. The visitors were from Brenau College in Georgia and Mississippi University for Women. The girls stayed on campus and thus had a chance to get to know Meredith. Metaphors of Faith The Staley Distinguished Christian Scholar Guest Lecturer for 1978 was Dr. Phyllis Trible, a magna cum laude graduate of Meredith. From Meredith she proceeded to Union Theological Seminary and Columbia University for graduate work. Having taught at sev- eral leading universities, she is cur- rently professor of Hebrew Language and Literature at Andover Newton Theological School. Dr. Trible has also contributed to several scholarly journals and written a book entitled God and the Rhetoric of Sexuality. For her three lectures at Meredith on April 17-18, 1978, she shared her view- point on several well-known passages of the Old Testament. Her first lecture dealt with the creation. In her second lecture she discussed the book of Ruth. And for her final lecture, she pointed out several metaphors showing the female imagery of God. During her visit to campus, she also spoke as a faculty luncheon and lectured to several reli- gion classes. Commentaries, as the cantata and festival were entitled was a huge suc- cess. The cantata was written by Mrs. Alice Parker of New York City. Mrs. Parker was previously connected with the Robert Shaw Chorale and composed music under their choral series. Com- mentaries is based in form on a pas- sion in which there are two choirs. One choir sings the story and the other sings in response to the story. The Meredith Chorale acted as the main choir, sing- ing several of Emily Dickinson ' s poems set to music by Mrs. Parker. In response to this story, the other choir consisting of the visiting choirs and the Renais- sance Singers, sang Mrs. Parker ' s ar- rang ement of Southern folk tunes and hymns. The music will be published under Meredith ' s name for future use. I y ' ' , ¥ g OAK LEAVES 1978 — 205 Welcome Parents Parents ' Weekend, April 22-23, of- fered extensive activities for students and families. Capsule courses were a highlight of Saturday ' s program.

Each spring as a final show of class competition, the senior class hides a crook from the junior class. The junior class has one week in which to search the campus high and low and discover the crook. They are aided? by hints given daily by the hiders. This spring the juniors were triumphant in their search, discovering the crook 16 minutes before the deadline.

Unpleasant Memories No more Biology cried a gleeful se- nior as she tossed her Biology Lab Manual into the huge bonfire built to burn seniors ' bad memories of Meredith. English papers, research index cards, and too-full calenders joined the Lab Manual as more relieved and happy seniors ridded themselves of their memories of frustrating work and sleepless nights.

A Senior ' s Diary Saturday, May 13 9:00 am. My last Saturday at Meredith — ever. A sobering thought. It ' s hard to imagine no more Saturdays sleeping late, getting up in time for lunch at 11:30, spending the afternoon sunbathing, studying, partying. I ' m glad they ' ve planned a lot of activities for today. The full schedule will help ward off depression. I ' m not going to the Alumnae meeting at 10:00, since I ' m not really a member yet, but the lucheon honoring us the Class of 1978, 1 wouldn ' t miss for the world. 12:30 p.m. The cafeteria is really full. They ' ve taken the dolls out of Third Johnson and arranged them as centerpieces on the table. What a nice idea! The food is really good; I wish 1 had the nerve to go back for seconds. It ' s strange to see our Big Sister Class having their first reunion, and to think that in two years we ' ll be back for our first reunion and our Little Sisters ' graduation. I almost want to cry seeing the people here from the early classes. Beth Cobb did a great job of presenting our doll. I love the induction oath! Do you, the Class of 1978, take this association, for better or for worse, wholeheartedly, enthusiastically, and everlastingly? ... Do you promise to endow it each year with a reasonable portion of your worldly goods, and forsaking all others, be loyal only to her unto death do you part? How appropriate for Meredith! 4:00 p.m. You would know the weather would be bad and Class Day Exercise would have to be in Jones. This is all kind of silly — all of us dressed in white, and those poor sophomores having to get up this morning and go daisy hunting in the rain. No, of cours I don ' t have any Kleenex with me — I ' m not going to cry. I ' m not the sentimenta type. Liz and Debra did a super job on the Class History. The Musical Salute was beautiful, but the speeches by Beth and Bunny were my undoing. Why didn ' t I bring any Kleenex? I ' m just glad I didn ' t wear mascara to this. There is nothing I hate worse than blacl eyes. It ' s not raining! We can go to tht traffic island and watch our Little Sisters make our numbers — and sing Them to us, and us to them. A perfect finish to a perfect day. The minute we stop singing the rain starts. Someone i; looking after us. 210 — OAK LEAVES 1978 Opposite page: Above, Alumnae President Joyce Rudisill hands Meredith tiles to members of the Class of 1978, commemorating their entrance into the Alumnae Association.

OAK LEAVES 1978 — 213 Continuations Meredith Is, and Shall Be When measured by time, Meredith is but a small segment of our life — four years out of a lifetime of 70 years or more. But when we measure the influence Meredith has on our life, the segment is much larger. The period of our life that we spend at Meredith is a very important one. It is during this time that we spread our wings and test our independence. We decide how we want to spend the rest of our life and prepare for that eventuality — a career, marriage and a family, or a combination of both. People that we grow to know during these four years will play important ro les in our life. Many husbands are chosen during this period. College roommates become life long friends. Professors provide us with goals and ideals to aim for. Thus, while we only spend four years of our life directly involved with Meredith, her influence strongly affects our entire life. While Meredith helps us grow and change to reach our full potential, we as students also influence Meredith. This influence keeps her alive and well, for she successfully combines a background of tradition with a view for the future. Since her conception in 1899 she has striven to meet the needs of her students, and has changed as necessary to achieve this goal. 1977-1978 has been a year of change and growth. As more and more students choose to enter the business world, the emphasis on career planning increases. As the world gets smaller and smaller, Meredith expands her boundaries to London and beyond. Rules and regulations change to reflect so ciety ' s changing values. The physical campus grows as new buildings are constructed to meet increased needs. However, throughout all these changes and growth, the belief that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for life — career, marriage, citizenship — remains strong at Meredith. Under this philosophy, Meredith will continue to exist, for she will continue to meet the needs of young women. These signs greet girls coming to Meredith at the beginning of school, after weekends, and after vacations. Thay remain to greet them when they return as alumnae through the years. 214 — OAK LEAVES 1978 Molly Bame started her sojourn at Meredith before she was born as she and her mother-to-be participated in Cornhuskin.

Since the day I accepted the challenge of OAK LEAVES editor, I have thought, eaten, and slept yearbook. It is almost impossible to believe that the day has finally come to draw the last layout, type the last copy sheet, and mail the last deadline. At this moment, my feelings are mixed. Great relief at being finished with this awesome responsibility. Regret at the end of good times, chances to be creative, and opportunities to work with talented people. There are many people to whom 1 need to express gratitude. To the staff members, who gave their time and talents. To the students and faculty members who contributed copy and photographs. To the advisors who were always available to answer questions. To the people who had to live with me, all my phone calls, my preoccupied state before a deadline. To all these people, I hope you realize how proud you should be of yourself. I give you my deepest appreciation. Now, to you, the Meredith community, as you read this, you have probably been through this memory book at least once, if not several times. I hope that you are happy with it. After all, that was and is my goal — to create an album of pictures and comments that will help you remember your year at Meredith. Meredith is so many different things to different people. I have tried to show all angles and cover all sides. I present this book to you in hopes that it has something for everyone of you. — Robin Reich 224 — OAK LEAVES 1978
