Silver Shield Plans
Filing Room Project
Record Room in Stringfield
Will Hold Club and Society
Records, Meredith Traditions
As one of its projects for the
year, the Silver Shield is plan
ning to begin a record or filing
room in which will be kept data
concerning the various college
traditions and functions. The
need for such a record room,
where any student could obtain
accurate information concerning
the traditions and customs of a
particular organization, has
long been felt by the student
body.
In the record room will be
filed the traditions concerning
Palio and a brief yearly sum
mary of the class parades. Each
year, a copy of the class stunts
and a copy of the original songs
sung at palio will be filed. The
traditions concerning crooking.
May Day, caroling, and com
mencement will be written for
the files, and the traditional
functions of the classes with the
class songs will be compiled and
kept. The different clubs will
have a file-folder in which will
be kept the club constitution, a
brief history of the club, a sum
mary of the club’s activities for
the year, and any other facts of
importance. The societies will
have a similiar record.
The home of this record room
will be the former maid’s room
on second floor Stringfield,
which has been turned over to
the Silver Shield for their use.
The Silver Shield hopes to make
the room attractive and usable.
A meeting of the various
presidents of the organizations
concerned will be held during
the first week in February to
make plans for the compilation
of the material. The Silver
Shield has stated that it will
welcome from students any sug
gestions concerning the room.
It is hoped that this record
room will answer for students
those questions that are heard
so frequently, such as: “Where
is the class song? Who is sup
posed to have charge of this?
What did they do in this case
last year? What’s this whole
thing about anyway?”
for the February unit were dis
cussed. The unit will be on
student government and the
honor system. The student com
mittee includes Evelyn
Straughn, chairman; Mitzi Rod
dick, Doris Allen, and Hazel
Johnson. The faculty adviser
will be Dr. Alice Keith.
The Kappa Nu Sigma Honor
Society was organized in 1923.
Its special aim is the promotion
of scholarship at Meredith.

Sports Review
By RUTH MARTIN
OLDTOWN GIRL—35937—This is one of the registered horses at the
Meredith College Barn. She is a two year old filly and is now being
trained by Miss Boggess and Mary Esther Sadler.
Horseback riding, in it’s sec
ond year at Meredith, has be
come one of the most popular
sports on the campus. Accord
ing to Miss Doris Peterson, Head
of the Physical Education De
partment, there are now 185
girls at Meredith who have
procured riding permits from
their parents and who are thus
This Collegiate World
Pie-baking might seem to be
a strange hobby to the average
student on the campus, but to
John Rowlett, North Texas State
Teacher’s College, Denton
Texas, freshman, it’s a combina
tion of hobby, hard work, and
a means of earning expenses for
attending college.
Employed as baker in the
kitchen of a local grill, Rowlett
shoves a white baker’s cap on
the back of his head and pro
duces the formula for butter
scotch and chocolate pies which
he says, are his specialties.
“Aw-w, there’s nothing un
usual about baking pies,” drawls
the boy who baked an estimated
16,000 pies during the past year.
“Besides helping pay my way
through college, it’s fun.”
Rowlett begins to assemble
the ingredients that go into the
making of 24 pies—all that the
oven will hold.
“I began taking short orders
here four years ago,” he ex
plained, “but a year later I be
gan learning to bake. I’ve been
working entirely in the kitchen
ever since.”
By this time, 24 pie shells are
rolled out, and Rowlett in
dustriously measures and mixes
huge amounts of dry ingredients
with the milk. “I expect I’ll
soon be giving up this job for
service in the navy, but I plan
to open up a bakery when I
get out,” Rowlett said. “You
see, two of my brothers in the
service are bakers, and we plan
to go into business together.”
With a few twirls of beater,
several dozen egg yellows are
beaten and expertly blended
into the mixture. Rowlett stirs
two batches of filling as they
cook—one butterscotch and the
other chocolate. Even though
he makes almost every kind of
pie, he makes most of these two
because “they’re the kinds most
often wanted by the customers.”

in line to elect this sport for the
spring semester.
Beginning last year with five
horses, the college now has
available fourteen horses that
may be used in the regular class
work. The largest class during
the fall semester contained nine
girls. This gave choice of horses
and left some not being used
at each of the classes.
Recently the college has ac
quired two registered saddle
horses, and it is expected that
they will be put into use right
away. One of these horses is
a ten year old gelding, and has
been shown in the three gaited
class in many horse shows. The
other is a two year old colt that
is now being trained by the
girls. Most of the horses now
owned by the college were
bought in Virginia or Tennessee
and are a good type riding
horse.
Miss Elaine Boggess, riding
teacher, is now making plans
for the spring semester. These
plans include a horse show for
the latter part of the semester
and several cross country rides
that will take the girls out for
picnic suppers. Miss Boggess
has pointed out that the girls
who took riding during the fall
semester will be first in line to
sign up for this sport during the
spring semester. Since the after
noons in the spring are longer
and the weather usually more
favorable for riding, students
are beginning to make an effort
to get into these classes before
the semester opens.
Of the girls now taking riding,
many are beginners while others
have had considerable experi
ence with almost all types of
riding horses.
TYNERS GIVE
BUFFET SUPPER
At five-thirty o’clock, Sunday
evening, January 13, Mr. and
Mrs B. Y. Tyner entertained the
entire group of seniors, who have
been doing student teaching this
semester, at a buffet supper in
their home at 34 Shepherd
Street. Other members of the
Meredith Department of Edu
cation were also invited guests.
Miss Lila Bell poured coffee.
Harry K. Dorsett entertained the
group with contests, and a ses
sion of conundrums was en
joyed. Nineteen guests signed
this hostess’s guest book.
