Forty per cent of this money
collected will be spent na
tionally on a program of re
search. Sixty per cent of the
money will remain in each state
for education about cancer,
more and better hospital facili
ties, etc. It has been found that
30-50 per cent of the cancer
cases can be cured if treated in
time.
Meredith’s contribution was a
part of the city and state wide
campaigns. In Raleigh the goal
set was reached only after an
extension of the campaign dates
was made, and there seemed to
be a general lag throughout the
state.

Sports Review
By BETTE LINNEY
On Saturday, April 27, Wo
man’s College in Greensboro
held a play day for the various
colleges in the state. Meredith
participated in softball and
tennis, losing the opening soft-
ball game to Duke, but taking
the second game from Salem
College. We lost the tennis
singles.
Since the war, much has been
done to promote interest in
sports throughout the state.
Much enthusiasm is being shown
and plans are being made to
make such play days seasonal
events.
Play Day here will be held
on May 16. This is the day on
which students and faculty alike
let themselves go and join in the
fun. Competition will be great.
but win, or lose, you’re in for
a treat; so come on out and let’s
play!
Participation in softball has
fallen greatly under par. The
regular practices are held on
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday
afternoons at five o’clock. The
tournament is scheduled to be
gin Monday, May 13. It is con
ventional for big sisters to play
little sisters. If the tournament
is to be successful, it is impera
tive that more players attend
these practices; so plan to come
out Monday. See you there!
The date for the tennis tourna
ment has not been announced,
but dust off those rackets and
be prepared to win the cham
pionship. Watch the bulletin
board for further details.
Meredith Art Work FRESHMEN FROLIC
Displayed in Exhibit AT ANNUAL PARTY
Peace, St. Mary's, and Meredith
Students Contribute Art
To State Gallery
There is now at the State Art
Gallery an Art Exhibition which
will last through May 15. This
exhibit consists of works of the
art students and instructors
from Meredith, St. Mary’s, and
Peace Colleges. Under the in
struction of Mr. John Rembert,
Mr. Clayton Charles, and Miss
Catherine Austell of Meredith,
Miss Mabel Pugh of Peace, and
Miss Katherine Morris of St.
Mary’s, the students of these
colleges have turned out some
praiseworthy work.
The works of the Meredith
students are generally modern;
those of Peace are quite aca
demic; and those of St. Mary’s
are of both kinds. Among those
Meredith students whose works
are represented are Elizabeth
Shelton, Meredith Cash, Martha
Ann Horton, Jean Bradley. Jean
Bradley’s work in Commercial
Art has been praised as showing
a great interest in technique, and
each of the other students’ work
has received many favorable
comments.
The report is that there has
been wonderful attendance at
the art exhibit and many favor
able comments have been made.
Mr. MacLane of the State Art
Gallery has said that this exhibit
is the most exciting student ex
hibit of present art that North
Carolina has had. He went
further to say that the works
show good instruction, sincerity,
vigorousness, and creativeness.

Did you happen to walk
through Johnson Hall Saturday
night, April 27? And did you
wonder if Meredith had turned
co-ed? The occasion was the
Freshmen party, and the boys
were there for a purpose.
At seven o’clock the freshmen
and their dates went from the
parlors to the auditorium where
the festivities were held. Enter
ing through a low arch formed
by bales of hay, one was greeted
by a barn-like atmosphere cre
ated by the decorations. Crepe
paper streamers were strung
across the ceiling, and each of
the posts was surrounded by
hay. A harvest moon hung
against the black background
of the stage setting. Practice
rooms had been converted into
a lemonade stand and a booth
from which ham sandwiches and
potato chips were served later.
A dummy stuffed with hay com
pleted the scenery.
Dances, the square dance and
the Virginia Reel, made up the
main part of the entertainment.
Mr. Fred Sloan, of State College,
gave instructions in square
dancing. Obra Fitzgerald pre
sided as mistress of ceremonies,
and Billie Hart was accompanist
for all songs. Not to be outdone
by their hostesses, several boys
appeared on the program. Fred
die Hatch played boogie-woogie
on the piano and accompanied
Elsie Corbitt as she sang “Shoo-
Fly Pie.” Tommie Head rend
ered several original composi
tions on the trumpet. At eleven
o’clock, the party came to an
end as Magdelene Creech read
a poem which she had written.
General chairmen for the
party were Colleen Brown and
Elsie Corbitt. Other chairmen
were as follows: Barbara Swan
son and Frances Spruill, dates
and invitations; Ann Drake,
decorations; and Jean McLamb,
refreshments.
lina and these three colleges
have something of which to be
proud in their art students.
