Aloha! On October 17,1987 the students at Meredith were treated to a Polynesian style luau. Students were greeted with colorful leis and the sound of beach music. The delicious smells of Poly- nesian food floated through the air and attracted girls from their dorm rooms. It was great to get away from the rou- tine of things and have a little fun acting stupid, said freshman Laura Olson. Students participated in a limbo con- test and sang along with the band, the Jabberwocks. They performed such favorites as, I Heard It Through The Grapevine , and Under The Board- walk . Said freshman Kaki Hicks, The only thing bad about it was that I couldn ' t take a pineapple back to my room. The luau is one of Meredith ' s traditions that allows students to relax and try something a little on the wild side. — Lisa Baurlein Students choose from the fresh fruit offered at the Luau. photos Meredith students take their picks by Debra Branson from a Polynesian style dinner. photo by Bridget Ramke The Jabberwocks entertain the crowd photo by Debra Branson How low can you go?

They Are Precious in Our Sight Little Friends Weekend is a time for Meredith students to invite a young relative or friend between the ages of seven and twelve, to come and stay at Meredith for a weekend. This year it was held on October 24-25. The Stu- dent Foundation planned activities such as cookie decorating, painting pump- kins, relay races, a pizza party, and the movie, An American Tale. A total of seventy-three little friends participated in the events. Saturday night, the young girls dressed up in their Halloween costumes while Meredith students led them trick-or-treating through the first floor par- lors. Little Friends Week- end is a good opportunity for younger girls to gain in- terest in Meredith College. — Becca Ward photos by Jennifer Hor Top: Tracy Sternberg sits by the fountain with li friends as they wait to eat and ride on the hayrii Left: Little friends enjoy a horse and wagon rii 16 Student Life
