The group is planning a tea for high school juniors and seniors. GREETINGS TO COLLEGE (Continued from first page) continue unabated throughout the coming years. Rachel Strole, President of (jlass of ’45, Wilmington, N. C. “Congratulations on Founders’ Day from one who in reminiscing not in silence but in the class room with American youth list ening to your broadcast. I trust that I am transplanting some of the ideas instilled by you in such a way that some of my students may enter the portals of Meredith.” Loretta Seawell, ’29, Rockingham. “Forty-seventh Birthday Con gratulations from us on our first.” Craven County Alumnae Chapter, Helen Rivers Smith, ’36, President. “On this day, we give thanks for the far-sighted vision of those who founded Meredith College; and we pray that we may be worthy to ‘follow in their train’.” Marguerite Mason Wilkins, President Alumnae Associa tion. ANNUAL BROADCAST (Continued from first page) even greater cause for joy and eager anticipation in “the pre vailing attachment of the stu dents to the basic purposes of the College, the evidences of their substantial scholastic ef fort and achievement, the stead ily improving quality of service rendered by our instructional and administrative staffs, and the more vital conviction among our Baptist people that Meredith must be better prepared to render our denomination and State the desperately needed service which Christian educa tion alone can furnish.” He re ported briefly on the Expansion Fund and the building program for the College and ended on a note of challenge for the future. “As individuals and organi zations, in domestic as in inter national affairs, we are realizing that the problems of peace are more challenging than those of war, that the real victory which we seek remains to be won. To this task, on this day of grate ful rememberance, let us dedi cate ourselves anew; that in attitudes and activities, in per sonal and social relationships, we may contrive to fulfill our obligations to the past by an unwavering fidelity to the inter ests of the future.” Dr. Campbell’s talk was fol lowed by a selection by the Stu dent Sextette, composed of Rebecca Barnes of Black Creek, Jean Davis of Selma, Betty Jean Donley of Davistown, Pa., Vir ginia Holcomb of Winston- Salem, Jane Watkins of Durham, and Jean White of Colerain. They sang “Come Down Laugh ing Streamlet” by Spross and were accompanied by Emily Hine of Winston-Salem. Miss Beatrice Donley of the voice department directed the Sex tette. Two students, Nancy Harris of Norwood, president of Stu dent Government, and Elizabeth Shelton of Washington, presi dent of B.S.U. made brief talks. Nancy, speaking on “Meredith —a Community” sketched the community life of the College, showing how the various organ izations on the campus sought to develop various capacities in the students and to produce a happy campus life. Elizabeth, discussing “The Real Meredith,” spoke of the spirit which over and above all material assets of the College makes it what it is. The friendly competition, the cooperation between faculty and students, the friendliness among the girls, the serious and conse crated devotion to high aims—• all these, she said, constitute the spirit of real Meredith “which makes you know that when you leave Meredith you don’t really leave it at all, for the ideal of ‘culture made per fect through! the religion of Jesus Christ’ goes with you wherever you go.” All alumnae listeners were urged to join in the concluding number on the program, the “Alma Mater” sung by the Sex tette. SPEAKER CHOSEN (Continued from first page) ting things accurate even if it takes days; it has meant learn ing more geography than I thought possible; it has meant meeting and working with ex perts from all over the United States and learning to know them and finding how very hu man they are.” The Craven County Chapter tops the list in percentage of “active” alumnae. My husband is the pastor of the University Methodist Church in Chapel Hill. We have two children—Henry Gibbons, Jr., four, and Rena Westbrook, six teen months. Sarah Elizabeth Jenkins, (Mrs. Henry Ruark), ’32. Meredith Coiie^e Libsary
