Do they have to have natural talent or can it be learned? Do red and blue combine to make brown or violet? Who painted the famous Mona Lisa? The Art Department at Meredith of- fers students the chance to function creatively in a variety of studio experi- ences and gain an understanding of the artistic productivity of human culture through art history courses. Provisions are made for students who wish to teach art. Through the special studies program, a student may pursue certain projects of a career-oriented nature, whether it be painting, sculpture, de- sign, graphics, or art history. The field is quite a challenge — but the opportunities are plentiful. Leonard White — Chairman John Giwines luma Greenberg Joseph Maron Randell Peyser OAK LEAVES 1979 — 33 Faculty BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY Did you ever want to know how to make your own atomic bomb? Or what goes on behind the closed door from which those putrid odors are escaping? To answer these and many more ques- tions, come join the goggle-eyed scien- tists at work! The Biology and Chemistry depart- ments at Meredith strive to prepare its majors for such varied future occupa- tions as teachers, researchers, and med- ical practitioners. It achieves its goals by offering students the opportunity for direct experimentation and observa- tion. Most biology and chemistry majors agree that without the help of the dedicated biology and chemistry professors they would never grasp all the tidbits of knowledge and the labora- tory techniques required for competi- tion in today ' s keen job market. Reginald B. Shiflett — Chair Clara Ray Bunn — Chairman, Biology lames H. Eads, Jr 34 — OAK LEAVES 1979 BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS Lois E. Frazier — Chairman David A. LeSourd A major in business administration and economics at Meredith opens many opportunities for a woman in todays business world. Meredith ' s business faculty makes joint efforts to unite their thoughts and ideas through decision making, problem solving, and com- munication which helps to understand the basics of business and the issues of today. The growth of the Business De- partment in the past few years is surely an indication of the growing need for women in the business world today. Evelyn Simmons OAK LEAVES 1979 — 35 Faculty EDUCATION I am the student . . . I am taught by the teacher. The teacher exerts effort for me to grow spiritually, intellectually, and emo- tionally. The teacher is able to endow me with the thirst for knowledge, to inspire me to work and play at the right time, and to kindle my enthusiasm for learning. The teacher guides and counsels when I seek direction and devotes time, ef- fort, and energy not only to my learn- ing, but also to my activities. The teacher belongs to a dedicated pro- fession, one that strives to build high standards of character and scholarship. The teacher shapes me . . . The student . . . Will I ever be a teacher? Rebecca Murray — Chairman Audrey Alfred Joseph A. Browde Kenneith Calvert 36 — OAK LEAVES 1979 ENGLISH Norma Rose — Chairman Susan Gilbert Sally Humble Helen Jones lone K. Knight Donald Samson We are quite well-read — that is, if r e can keep up with our assignments, e are well-guided — at least, we ' re )ld we are. We are well-organized — cept when a paper is due. Most of all, r e are well-rounded — unless someone r ants to discuss something besides hakespeare or Milton or Chaucer. We re majoring in English. OAK LEAVES 1979 — 37 Faculty FOREIGN LANGUAGE John Holt — Chairman William Ledford Burgunde Winz The life of a Meredith foreign lan- guage student may at times seem to in- clude nothing more than conjugations, declensions, and endless lists of voc- abulary. The value of such study, how- ever, does not result only from inten- sive memorization and recitation. Learning another language is the first step toward understanding different peoples and their cultures. Meredith ' s Foreign Language De- partment has recently taken steps to achieve that goal. The campus was selected as the site for an Inter- American symposium involving much participation of the Spanish faculty. Two new professors, Mrs. Winz and Dr. Seabrook, who teach French and Span- ish respectively, joined the department this year, and Dr. Sandra Thomas shared her vast experience with the Spanish conversation class she taught in addition to her responsibilities as Vice President for Student Develop- ment. Of course, Professors Holt, Led- ford, Galligan, Short, and Finlator have continued to impart their extensive lin- guistic knowledge to those Meredith students fortunate enough to meet them in class! The Foreign Language De- partment is becoming increasingly noteworthy and will undoubtedly con- tinue to gain recognition as students seek to familiarize themselves with other ways of life. 38 — OAK LEAVES 1979 HISTORY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE , Frank Grubbs — Chairman Carolyn Grubbs The History and Political Science Depart ment at Meredith College per- form the unique function of informing and preparing the students for the years to come as an active and aware citizen. The past is studied with the hopes of relating it to the present and using it as a guide to the future. The history and political science student is introduced to the method of research and the art of analyzing and discussing information. She learns to think and act — necessary attributes in our modern world. Thomas Parramore Charles Stewart OAK LEAVES 1979 — 39 Faculty Why should I want to be a home eco- nomics major? I want to be a liberated woman out in the man ' s working world fulfilling myself! I don ' t want to be tied down with apron strings, cooking, and sewing. There must be more to life than this! If you find yourself saying these things, then a home economics major just may be your answer. Are you inter- ested in teaching young adults in the increasingly important field of con- sumer and homemaking education? Or would you prefer a position in the ag- riculture extension service? Or in busi- ness and industry? Or in consumer ser- vice? Or in social agencies? Or in child development? Or in foods service and nutrition? How about interior design? Today women are finding increasing success in these related areas, and what ' s more, the field is wide open! Women with this background are actu- ally creating jobs for themselves! The Home Economics Department is meet- ing these needs of women by expand- ing and adding new courses. HOME ECONOMICS V . .4 7 Marilyn Stuber — Chairman k 1 i £ h Kay Friedrick Susan Meadows 40— OAK LEAVES 1979 MATH Charles A. Davis — Chairman Dorothy K. Preston The bachelor of arts and science in mathematics gives a good background in mathematics and allows electives in a wide range of academic interests. Be- cause of large business and industrial expansion in all parts of the country, this skill is still increasingly important. Many may feel that along with the in- vention of the pocket calculator basic math skills may become obsolete. Many occupations and school curriculums are still supplemented by related courses in mathematics, and graduate schools acceptance often depends on the amount of courses a student has had previously in this area. A self-paced in- dependent study option is available at Meredith for those students who feel they would rather tackle the problems outside of the classroom situation. Now there is nothing to be afraid of if you once feared those mind-baffling num- bers! LaRose Spooner OAK LEAVES 1979 — 41 Faculty MUSIC Why am I a music major? I enjoy . . . The advantages! Did you know our al- phabet only has seven letters . . . We rarely have to count past eight . . . We only have to suffer through two semes- ters of English . . . We learn poise and dignity through performances . . . We have the potential to become conduc- tors, composers, historians, singers, or- ganists, pianists, theorists, violinists, teachers ... I enjoy . . . The broad curriculum! Did you know we have the largest selection of courses of all the other departments at Meredith? Piano . . . organ . . . voice . . . strings . . . woodwinds and brass . . . theory . . . solfege . . . electronic music . . . choir . . . music history . . . conducting . . . music merchan- dising . . . orchestra . . . music ap- preciation . . . I enjoy . . . The fact that I am enriching my life with a culture that has been around as long as man has, and I have the knowl- edge to open the door for others inter- ested in the language of the world. We are the music-makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams, . . . For each age is a dream that is dy- ing, or one that is coming to birth ... Arthur O ' Shaughnessy W. David Lynch — Chairman Alice Daugherty Betty Jo Farrington Phyllis Garriss 42 — OAK LEAVES 1979 Phyllis Thompsor Anthony Vaglio OAK LEAVES 1979 — 43 Faculty PHYSICAL EDUCATION : Deborah Whelan What does a Meredith Angel do to get away when classroom walls seem to close in on her? She puts herself in th hands of the P.E. Department. Physic education enables any student to enjoy the outdoors as well as the indoors. Classes are offered four days a week, ranging from swimming to badminton. Most importantly, any girl wishing to play a competitive sport may try out for any of Meredith ' s varsity teams. Meredith ' s newest addition to the var- sity rating is the softball team, coached by Jack Huber. It promises to be a big step for physical education. With the encouragement of Mrs. Massey and the cooperation of all the involved depart- ment members, exercise and good health will continue to be a part of Meredith ' s life. 44 — OAK LEAVES 1979 PSYCHOLOGY John Huber — Chairman Lyn Aubrecht Rosemary Hornak The Psychology Department at Meredith College aims to help the stu- dent obtain a better self-understanding, as well as an understanding of the basic methods, facts, and vocabulary of the scientific study of behavior and con- sciousness. A psychology major must have a minimum requirement of 28 se- mester hours in psychology, including general, experimental, and statistics. Other interesting courses available are learning, animal behavior, theories of personality, developmental, and psy- chology of exceptional children, to name a few. A student may choose to complete a special studies course, se- nior thesis, or internship of her interest, under the guidance of one of the pro- fessors any given semester. Professors are always more than eager to help stu- dents pursue their individual interests while completing their required courses. Students and faculty alike have the opportunity to attend regional psy- chology conventions through the aid of the Psychology Club and Psi Chi. Another activity of the department and these organizations is the yearly Carolinas ' Psychology Conference, co- sponsored with N.C. State University, at which undergraduate students have the opportunity to present papers and discuss the research they are involved OAK LEAVES 1979 — 45 Faculty RELIGION Roger Crook — Chairman Bernard Cochran G. Henton Davies A student wishing to major in religion at Meredith finds a variety of studies open to her. Classes are available in many areas of religious study, such as history, archeology, philoso- phy, modern scholarship, and comparative religions. The stu- dent may wish to pursue a ca- reer in the ministry or in Chris- tian education, and she finds these courses geared to help her meet her goal. Any Meredith girl finds the religion courses enlightening and informative, and most find them to be fun. No matter what the student ' s future plans and goals, she will find her religious studies to be a helpful guide to her life. Stewart Newman Allen Page 46 — OAK LEAVES 1979 SOCIOLOGY Leslie Syron — Chairman Patricia Ramsey Charles Tucker The community of Meredith College is a dynamic social system. The com- munity operates in an orderly manner to enable its various components to interact with each other. The major sys- tems of the community meet the basic needs of the members while the subsys- tems arise to tie together the social network. The individuals in this com- munity participate in many relation- ships which make up the entire social grouping of the college. The network of Meredith College is a powerful and well organized system. One of the subsystems operating in the college is the Sociology Depart- ment. The department works together with the other departments to allow members to have the institutionalized unit of education. The department is composed of trained professors who promote communication and socializa- tion into the world of sociology. Through research methods the students explore all the dimensions of social sys- tems. A student may certify in social work which enables her to deal with relationships in an effort to obtain basic skills for the helping process. This sub- system provides a firm educational background which can be used in at- tempting to solve the problems of the larger social system outside the college. We as future sociologists hope to con- tribute our acquired knowledge to- wards some of the major issues facing our society today.

The Tears of a Clown Here we are now, clowns in disguise, rying to find where our future lies. ; it with frills, is it with bows? The tickets were sold out over four ears ago, and the show is nearing its nd. The performers have gone ackstage and the audience is slowly ling out of the tent. Props are being uickly torn down to prepare for new tiows and new performers that will ike the place of the circus crowd. Only le clowns remain. They are always the ist to leave. Overturned chairs, dis- arded programs, and empty popcorn ags remind them of the long hours and ' ifficult rehearsals needed to produce le show, but a final, flickering spot- ght in the middle ring brings to mind the laughter and thunderous applause they received when the act was at last perfected, and they were the hit of the show. It was never promised that it would be easy, only that it would be worth- while. The greatest acts in the world rarely come about with a snap of the fingers and a flicker of the spotlight; in- stead, they are artistic creations that evolve from practice days filled with both laughter and tears. At their com- pletion, however, they are rarely forgot- ten, and live forever in the hearts and minds of the performers. A clean-up crew enters through the back to remove the chairs, and the clowns gather in the center ring for a final look around the tent where, only moments ago, they had heard the deafening applause that had signaled both success and completion. The show would move on to other cities, but the clowns would never be the same. They would each follow a different band of performers, and would probably never again be seen in the same show. Often. the memory of that first applause when they performed together would strengthen them on the days when their audience would be silent. The clowns are good at their work, but today, for the first time since the show began, they are silent. Of course, they will laugh again, for the memories of the most cherished of all, but for today, they are silent. Hesitatingly, they embrace and walk away in search of a new act and new audiences to inspire, just as the last stake is pulled up, and the tent col- lapses. When we look back over the years. We see the laughter, we see the tears. Trying to hide the tears of a clown, We ' ll miss being around. OAK LEAVES 1979 — 49 Seniors ANN BRYAN ADAMS Washington, N.C.

In between classes and projects, committee meetings and wed- ding plans, almost every senior must make some attempt to find a money- making, fulfilling job to occupy herself with after graduation. Some start earlier that others. Some reach the panic point sooner than others. But all must suffer through first getting all dressed up — businesslike, but not over dressy, checking the make-up and hair, the shoes, the length of her skirt, then try- ing to learn a little about the company she ' s interviewing with through boring stockholders ' reports and confusing re- cruitment pamphlets. At last comes the time to face that interviewer one-to-one for thirty minutes. Most people dis- cover that thirty minutes is not as bad as they expected. Some of the questions about career plans for the next ten years are hard to answer. Palms get sweaty, frogs develop in the throat and but- terflies in the tummy, but survival is inevitable. And even if she doesn ' t get a job offer, she ' lll be better prepared for the next interview. In other words, a job interview is an educational experience — just what Meredith is all about.

As we arrived on campus, we could feel that our class of 1980 spirit still remained and was sure to grow even stronger. Remembering our ex- periences as freshmen, we natu- rally were eager to assume our roles as big sisters to the class of 1982 .... striving to love and encourage them as they began their days as Meredith Angels. Although we juniors were separated in campus housing, we didn ' t fail in becoming a un- ified and enthusiastic class for grand performance in Cornhus- kin ' . Wearing our green derby hats and green T-shirts, we cap- tured second place under the di- ligent leadership of Sandy Sta- ron and Kathy Parker. The close bond we felt during this happy event and throughout the year could not be taken away because of the strong dedication of our class president, Amy Davis. Along with the Cornhuskin ' tradition, fall semester had another meaningful event in store for us.

Not having been there as a class since freshmen orientation, we thoroughly enjoyed the fellow- ship it brought. To end our first semester, a very special time was at our hands — the purchasing of our Meredith class rings. Little did we know the amount of pride we would feel when our long- awaited onyx treasure found its place. It was, indeed, a reminder of our first two years of hard work and an inspiration to pur- sue our next goals. In our last semester as juniors, we honored the Senior Class with the Jr.-Sr. Dance — a very special tradition. The downtown Holiday Inn was the perfect set- ting for an evening filled with laughter, cherished moments, and dancing to The Seventh of May. The weeks following the Jr.-Sr. Dance quickly passed as we busied ourselves concluding our semester ' s work. With the close of another school year, and thoughts of our final year ap- proaching, we store in our hearts fond memories of a year we will always cherish.

From Day One, we rushed back and forth to orienta- tion programs, crammed our heads full of rules and regulations, tried to learn our way around, mem- orized numbers and names, stood in line for hours waiting for phones, washers, and dryers, and found out that registration was even worse than the upperclassmen had warned. To add to all the other fun, classes began and we learned which professors to hide from — although some of us weren ' t suc- cessful in doing so. We can be proud that we made it through English composition, which is on the list of the top ten major lifetime accom- plishments. It wasn ' t long before we found Hillsborough Street and Fraternity Row. We also found out how hard it was to get back when every other freshman was also coming in, one min- ute before curfew. We lost a lot of sleep worrying about call downs. The event we had heard so much about came in October — Cornhuskin ' . It was so much fun to be awakened at 6:00 a.m. by a herd of sophomores clang- Mary Haskett Jeannie Hazel Anne Herdon Mary Lynn Hinsley 110 — OAK LEAVES 1979 Beth Johnson Lynn Johnson Harriet Johnson Brenda Jones PPP1 Kimberly Jones Leigh Jones Kay Jones Susan Jones Valerie Jones Marilyn Jordon Denise Karmolinski Elaine Keating Angelyn Hinson Marie Hiott Laney Hodge Steffani Hoffman Terri Hoffman ing pots and pans on our doors and screaming as loud as they could. Get- ting drenched with water buckets, catching colds, receiving telephone calls from so-called freshmen who couldn ' t make the meetings, cleaning the tons of toilet paper off of the courtyard, and having to listen to upsetting cheers that said our mothers didn ' t love us was fun also. When the big night arrived, we fi- nally experienced the event that truly can ' t be described. Domino ' s, PTA, Roy Rogers, CAT, and Frats have taken on new mean- ings this year. We have Mr. Hardy and the food chains that deliver to thank for the extra pounds that we frantically tried to lose before spring break. The Freshman class doughnut sale killed a lot of will power. Although the sopho- mores were arch rivals during Cornhuskin ' , they understood how we felt as freshmen. There was a special relationship be- tween us and the juniors, who served as our big sis- ters, and who helped us in numerous ways. Who could help but respect the seniors? Meredith has a unique style; just like the style of each individual here. We ' ve always been told that our college years will be our best years, and it al- ready seems true.

For the first time in many years we took informal senior pictures in the spring of their junior year. We hoped to time the pictures with the blooming of the azaleas. We did, but so did the rain. All of our hopes of pic- tures with beautiful girls amongst beau- tiful, blooming azaleas were dampened by the rain. The editors continued their work throughout the summer of 1978 plan- ning themes and cover designs, and in August we gathered one of the largest and most willing staff ever, or so it seemed. With too little time after classes and too much work to ac- complish, the staff began to dwindle down to just a faithful few. These faith- ful few began to work, and work they did; through missed lunches and din- ners and even some breakfasts. They worked through missed classes and other meetings, and at deadline times, a few dedicated girls worked through en- tire weekends, even exam weekend! The staff has worked many long hours to get this book where we want it, and believe it or not, we have actually enjoyed it (usually). We hope that you are as proud of this book as we, the staff, are. kFi ' OAK LEAVES 1979 — 141 Opportunities The Twig The Twig is the college newspaper Editor Kristy Beattie published weekly to inform students of Assistant Editor Renee Keever Davis , rr ,. .

NCSL serves two fundamental purposes. First, the orga- nization educates the students in the legislative purposes of North Carolina. This education begins with the monthly Interim Councils, hosted by different schools, held to conduct NCSL ' s general business. Secondly, NCSL provides a forum for student opinions on issues of North Carolina policy and a vehicle through which these opinions may be expressed to the General Assembly and other relevant governmental bodies. Meredith ' s delegation was very ac- tive this year. They held a reception for the NCSL governor in the fall. They also sponsored a bill prohibiting retal- iatory conduct on the part of the land- lord toward the tenant. The bill passes unanimously. They also cohosted their first interim Council with NCSU in the spring. Members are: Courtney Atkins, Kim Ball, Nancy Clendenin, (Sec.

Latin-Augustus — the month named after Au- gustus Caesar. Orientation Orientation Week, an important and memorable part of the freshman experi- ence at Meredith, provides a chance for students to get acquainted with each other and time to adjust to their sur- roundings before classes begin. Stu- dents stay busy with hall meetings, placement tests, special programs and tours, and many additional activities scheduled for them. There are plenty of extras like picnic dinners, popsicle par- ties, movies and recreational activities to occupy any spare time. Preparing to register for classes, buying books, hav- ing ID cards made, and getting rooms arranged are only a few of the details that have to be attended to during ori- entation. As students get caught up in all other activity and begin to feel at home, many friendships are formed and a feeling of unity begins to grow. It is in this spirit of warmth and friend- ship that the students of Meredith be- come a community. Change Day Fall began to nudge us as we basked in the summer sun. The calendar flipped to June, July, then August, and here we were again, forming a line that ex- tended out the gym door and down the sidewalk. Our schedules needed lots of rearranging and polishing, and as our legs bowed from standing in unending lines, we vowed to be more careful when we pre-registered for next semes- ter. Surely planning and a bit of insight would take care of this problem, but what Meredith angel has ever been known for her great planning ability? Besides, it ' s such fun to see everyone ' s new haircut, and just look at Jane ' s tan! Open Day Open Day at Meredith is an opportunity for prospective college students to see the campus, attend classes, and learn more about the school. To begin the day, class hostesses take the visiting students to class with them, and then to lunch. There is a short program follow- ing, during which two members of the Freshman class talk to the students about Meredith, and a representative from the Admissions office discusses admission policies, financial aid, aca- demics, and special opportunities with them. The program ends with a ques- tion and answer period, followed by a tour of the college.

Meredith Remembers Lillian Parker Wallace The Lillian Parker Wallace Endow- ment was established to provide the Meredith community with various lec- tures. The lecture given by Sir Harold Wilson on September 18, 1978 repre- sented the culmination of the first student-initiated endowment at Mer- dith College Lillian Parker Wallace came to Meredith in 1921 as a history professor. She remained so for 41 years, the last 13 being spent as head of the History De- partment. Yet Dr. Wallace ' s contribu- tions to Meredith were only a part of her contributions to the Raleigh com- munity. Known to Meredith students as an outstanding swimmer and tennis player, Dr. Wallace was also a profes- sional musician, holding offices in such organizations as the Civic Music Association, the Chamber Musicians Guild of Raleigh, and serving as presi- dent of the Musicians local for many years. In her own field of study, Dr. Wallace held memberships in the Southern and American Historical So- ciety, the Archeological Institute of America, and the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences. One copy of her book, The Papacy and European Diplomacy: 1869-1878, be longs to the library in the Vatican. Even after her retirement in 1962, Dr Wallace remained a vital part of thf Meredith community. It is for these reasons the Class of 1971 chose for theii class project the raising of money ir order to establish an endowed chair ir honor of Lillian Parker Wallace. Twc years following the inception of the en dowment, the Classs of 1973 officially added its sanction and support to the fund. Lillian Parker Wallace died ir 1971, just 16 days after the announce- ment of the fund established in he) honor. 162 — OAK LEAVES 1979 Following the question and answer session, Sir Harold talks with a reporter. A Little Taste of Britain Meredith College was honored to have as the first Lillian Parker Wallace Lecturer, the Right Honorable Sir Harold Wilson, former Prime Minister of Great Britain. After an invocation by Dr. Edward Pruden, and a tribute to Dr. Wallace by Dorothy Anne Bryan, Sir Harold Wilson was introduced by Dr. John F. Weems, President of the Col- lege. The former prime minister began his speech, entitled The Trans-atlantic Connection From Winston Churchill to Today , by relating his acquaintances with seven U.S. Presidents from Tru- man through Ford. His closest friend, however, was the former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Recalling the status of United States — British relations in World War II, Sir Harold spoke of the special relationship between Sir Winston Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. From 1948 to 1964, the Conservative Party ruled Great Britain. Mr. Wilson ' s major comment concerned the disastrous Suez Affair. Skipping to the middle six- ties, Sir Harold described in detail his friendship with President Lyndon B. Johnson. The biggest area of disagree- ment according to Mr. Wilson was the Vietnam Conflict. Despite Johnson ' s urging, he would not involve Great Bri- tain in Southeast Asia. Concluding, Sir Harold discussed the Helsinki agreements made during the Ford administration. This was a great advance over security in Europe and human rights according to him. He as- serted that the issues involved in the accords were worth keeping; further- more, it was important even for those not in government to support them. He finally called for joint American-British consultation to protect human rights and international peace. rhe crowds greet Britain ' s former ' rime Minister Sir Harold Wilson.

Cornhuskin ' Every fall, the four classes of Meredith College unite in a celebration aptly labeled Cornhuskin ' . Cornhuskin ' may seem an inappropriate name, but the waterfights, early morning reveries, and late night celebrations embody the energy that goes into husking corn. Cornhuskin ' 78, with its excep- tional class and faculty participation was an outstanding success. Clowning throughout practice, the Senior class won with their theme. The Circus. Taking second place, the juniors, as stylish as ever, entertained the audi- ence with their Parade of Fashions. The first involvement with Cornhuskin ' did not seem to effect the freshmen, as they fantasized their way to third place with a take-off from Fantasy Island. Sophomores, giving A Broad View of Meredith, offered another reason that Cornhuskin ' 78 was such an enter- taining event. Following a week of ex- citement and little sleep, the Thursday night of Cornhuskin ' provided a time to relax, forget the pressures of school, and scream at the top of one ' s lungs.

The oldest interna- tional organization of its kind, the OAS is dedicated to the promotion of peace throughout all of America. The OAS, composed of twenty-six nations in the Western Hemisphere, also strives to en- courage economic, social, and cultural development in the Americas. The Inter-American Commission of Women, a specialized organization of the OAS, consists of a Principle Dele- gate chosen from each of the member nations. Each delegate is selected by her respective government. The pur- pose of the commission is to promote, mobilize, train, and organize the women of America so that they may fully participate in all fields of human endeavour, on a par with men, as two beings of equal value, corresponsible for the destiny of humanity. CIM dele- gates inform their respective govern- ment and the General Assembly of the OAS concerning the status of women in the Americas in civil, political, social, economic, and cultural areas. They also suggest solutions to any problems they discern. Meredith College was chosen as the site for the 50th anniversary of CIM because of its high academic stan- dards and leadership development of its students. The Inter-American Symposium, the morning program, began with a wel- come by Dr. Weems and an invocation by Dr. Elizabeth Koontz, the Chairper- son of the National Commission on Working Women. Mayor Isabella Can- non of Raleigh made special presentations of citizenship to the visit- ing dignitaries. The speakers on the program included: Her Excellency Maria Eugenia Oyarzun, Permanent Ambassador to Chile from OAS; the Honorable Gabriela Touchard Lopez, President of CIM; and the Honorable Carmen Delgado Votaw, Principle Del- egate to OAS from the U.S. Dr. Sandra Thomas, Vice President for the Student Development, made the closing re- marks for the session. The afternoon began with a luncheon featuring Arvonne Fraser, Agency foi International Development. A panel discussion consisting of the morning speakers and a film series concluded the day. 174 — OAK LEAVES 1979 Above, John Bono, Marlene Barnett, and Phyllis Thompson rehearse a scene from American Dame.

Everyone seems to have a special glow as they shop, pack, and prepare for their Christmas vacation. Most prob- lems are forgotten as thoughts are turned towards the joyous Christmas season. First of all, Secret Santas are busy during the night. You open your door in the morning to discover a little sur- prise left outside. You anxiously await the Christmas Hall Party so you can find out exactly who your Secret Santa was. The party features gift-giving, skits, and singing. The Catlinas entertained everyone at the Christmas Dance. Belk Dining Hall held a full crowd that was ready to dance their cares away. Meredith of- fered its own entertainment at the Christmas Concert. Held in the Rotunda of Johnson Hall, the concert featured the Chorale, the Rennaissance Singers, the Ensemble, the Orchestra, and the Handbell Choir. Everyone was ready to feast their eyes on the Christmas Dinner layed out by the Cafeteria Staff. Amidst the ice sculptures and large Christmas Tree, we served ourselves buffet style. The Ensemble and the Cafeteria Staff serenaded all with their Christmas Carols. After the dinner though, it was our turn to sing. We loaded up the CAT Buses and headed for the homes of the Meredith faculty for the traditional caroling. After we arrived back at Meredith our thoughts turned from Christmas to school. After all, exams come twice a year, and when they come they take away all our cheer! OAK LEAVES 1979 Events A Winter Wonderland Meredith received its share of snow this winter with a total of about 20 in- ches. The largest snowfall blanketed the campus with about a foot of the white stuff. Classes were cancelled for a day, and everyone had their share of fun in the snow. Of course snowball fights, sledding on cafeteria trays, and making snowcream topped the list. It was Meredith ' s good fortune to have the chorus from Washington-Lee Uni- versity in Virginia to entertain everyone when they weren ' t out in the snow. 178 — OAK LEAVES 1979 1979 OAK LEAVES — 179 Love . . . Becoming And Doing The week of January 29 through Feb- ruary 2 was Religious Emphasis Week. The theme of the annual event was Love . . . Becoming and Doing. The guest speaker was Dr. David Burhans, chaplain at the University of Richmond. Dr. Burhans examined love as a living and growing state of being. He explained that all people need to be loved, and if we are not, it results in a disease called loneliness. In today ' s society, with high population rates, one would think that relationships would be easy to establish; however, we have proximity without community. We must live in this tension filled society, huddled together, isolated and frus- trated. The answer to this situation is God ' s buddy system. According to Dr. Burhans, Chris on the cross is God ' s way of saying. Whoever finds this, I love you. To be able to reach out to others in love, however, one must think enough of onesself and the needs of other indi- viduals to let a relationship flower. This can happen as Dr. Burhans suggested only through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Christ is our chief example of love in the active form. He did not just teach about love; he loved. He did not talk about friendship; he was a friend. He did not talk about life; he lived. We, as Christians, must learn to reach out and be sensitive, regardless of the roadblocks of life. Other activities of the week included worship services on Monday, Wednes- day, and Friday. On Tuesday Dr. Burhans spoke on The Courage to Fail at a faculty luncheon. That night at 11 o ' clock, a communion service was conducted by Dr. Joe Browde. Dr. Burhans also led informal discussions in the President ' s Dining room on Monday and Wednesday evenings. The central questions examined were What is the basis of Love? Have you learned to express your love? and Do you realize that you must first love yourself before you can attempt to love others? JANUARY n., abbr. Jan. The first month of the year according to the Grego rian calender.

The theme was A Special Tri- bute to the Arts. Ms. Vinie Burrows, an acclaimed Broadway actress, presented her show, Walk Together Children, as a means of augmenting knowledge of the dramatic arts. Vinie Burrows ' portrayal of Blacks were finding their identity and their place in history. Mr. and Mrs. James Huff made possi- ble a week-long exhibition which served to broaden the students knowl- edge of black contributions to art. A re- ception was given to honor the artists. The various activities which took place were all means of increasing Black Awareness through the arts. OAK LEAVES 1979 — 181 Events 182 — OAK LEAVES 1979 I FEBRUARY n., abbr. Feb. The second month of the year according to the Gre- gorian calendar. Latin februa — a festival of purification held on February 15. The Diary of Anne Frank The play The Diary of Anne Frank is based on the book Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl written between 1942 and 1944 by an adolescent whose fam- ily was hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam. Anne Frank, a carefree 13-year old, is entering the trying years of adolescence when the Nazis take over Amsterdam. Because they are Jewish Anne and her family must hide to avoid being sent to a concentration camp or killed. The Frank family shares the tiny attic of an office with four other people for two years. There is little privacy, food is scarce, and no noise is allowed during the day. This girl ' s unique story of adoles- cence experienced in four rooms, while hiding from a world of hate and de- struction, makes exciting reading and a special drama. OAK LEAVES 1979 — 183 Special Meals Contrary to popular belief, angels do not live by angel dust alone. We need sustenance to keep our wings flapping, and with Hardee and Packer as our feeders, our fuel tanks are never empty. Mexican night sneaked in with a sombrero and a guitar strum and pro- vided us with tacos, tomale pie, and Mexican corn. Next, steak night, a favorite with Meredith girls and boy- friends at State, heightened our spirits as we feasted on broiled steak and baked potatoes smothered in butter. It was almost like being at the Angus Barn, without having to pay the bill. As we plunged deeper into the semester, the cafeteria staff continued to add zest to our nights as they transformed our farm into gay Hawaii. With tummies full of fresh fruit and spareribs, we walked back over the lake bridge anxiously awaiting our next treat. A Tribute to the Founders of Meredith Thomas W. Lambeth, the executive director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, delivered the keynote ad- dress of the Founders ' Day Program on February 23, 1979. He emphasized that Meredith-like all educational enter- prises — is a place of self-discovery and development. He elaborated on this point by explaining that Meredith must help her students cultivate a taste for knowledge, some sense of history, perhaps a fascination with the world of ideas, a tolerance of the differences that enrich our lives; and possibly a sense of humor to put it all in perspective. Prior to Mr. Lambeth ' s address, the seniors filed in with their graduation robes on along with the faculty in their academic robes. President John Weems 184 — OAK LEAVES 1979 welcomed all the guests, and the Meredith Chorale sang a selection. The scripture and prayer was given by G. Henton Davies, Meredith ' s distin- guished visiting professor of religion. Dr. Mary Lynch Johnson, the college historian, gave a special tribute to one of Meredith ' s founders, her father, Livingston Johnson. The chairman of the Meredith College Board of Trustees, Seby Jones, introduced Thomas Lam- beth. The program concluded with the Alma Mater and a benediction by Dr. Davies. Other Founders ' Day activities in- cluded a wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial to Thomas Meredith, a lunc- heon, tours of the campus, and a special Founders ' Day Dinner. Below is Dr. Johnson, Historian. ow, Seby Jones, President Weems, Dr. Davies, and Mr. Lamberth review the program ' s agenda. OAK LEAVES 1979—185 MARCH n.

A shoe meeting? An epidemic of Spring Fever? What could they all be but Stunt 1979! And what a creative stunt it was! The sophomores took first place with their Mrs. Conference football game be- tween Meredith and St. Mary ' s. The Norma Rose Bowl Stadium was filled with fans, cheerleaders, and bands. The commentating by Howard Nosell, lively commercials, and an instant re- play entertained everyone! Backstage Baloney presented by the senior class was given second place. The skit featured disco rol- lerskating, a magician, a pyramid of nuns, tap dancing underwater, and the testing of an electronic studfinder. The seniors closed their stunt with a senti- mental song. The freshman class surprised every- body with their cu te skit Heaven In One Hop. The skit revolved around a freshman shoe meeting led by a hall proctor-dictator. They ended their stunt with a song and dance routine on how to get to heaven. Dr. F.T. Lauderdale diagnosed Spring Fever in the juniors ' stunt The Temperatire Is Risin. They provided a look at what happens when Spring hits the Meredith campus. The puns in- volved beach music, and most of the scenes took place at Poteat Beach. While the judges were deliberating, the Meredith Ensemble held the audi- ences ' attention with some popular love songs. Stunt provided a good break from a busy schedule and fun for 1979 OAK LEAVES— 187 Events It ' s Time To Play! April 11 gave everyone a break from studying and a time for fun. Yes, it was Play Day 1979! Competition between the dorms abounded as relay races were run. These were no ordinary relay races because they included sack races, 3-legged races, a broom sweep, and the crab walk. After the relays, dorms chal- lenged each other, as well as the faculty team, to chalk up points. The strength of Vann and Stringfield was noted as they broke the rope twice during a tug of war. Hop scotch, pyramid building, swimming, and fishing at the lake finished out the afternoon. Of course, all this playing made everyone hungry, so there was a picnic in the courtyard to top the day off. The competition ended with Faircloth in first place, the faculty second, and Stringfield and Brewer tied for third. OAK LEAVES 1979 APRIL n. abbr. Apr.

The book has been taken out of my hands and placed into yours. If by reading this book of memories you have enjoyed it half as much as I did by doing it, then my task is completed and successful. It is hard to say good bye to something that I have lived and breathed for the last 16 months, and yet, it is also relieving. At times I could think of nothing and live for nothing but finishing the next deadline. We always met our deadlines and even had a few extra pages to turn in. This enabled us to sit back and begin counting down how many pages we had left. I often thought that the last deadline would never arrive, but it did, and the book is completed. Without the help of Kathy Grindstaff, my associate editor, and Jill Kibler, I honestly do not know how the book would have been finished. Both Kathy and Jill put in many extra manhours that were above and beyond the call of duty, and I thank them for it. A special thanks also goes to photo- graphers Rymer Shaw and Bill Norton for all the work they did for me. Their pictures were vital to the book and I am extremely grateful. To all the rest of the staff, expecially Mary Ziegler and Robin Reich, I thank you. Your time and dedication was neither unnoticed nor unappreciated. Most of all I would like to thank my parents, Mary Bowen, and expecially Todd Orr for the very needed support and encouragement they gave me throughout the year. To next year ' s editor, Kathy, I wish you a hearty good luck; you will surely need it! Just keep remembering that it is so very much worth it in the end. I promise you that you will enjoy it and even begin to thrive on it. Melinda Merrell 216 — OAK LEAVES 1979
