Club Notes
Home Economics Club
An additional phase of the
Home Economics Club work this
year has been the participation
in North Carolina’s first College
Home Economics Club Work
shop held in Greensboro on
April 26-27. Gwendolyn Krahnke |
and Rosemary Fulmer, the re
tiring and incoming presidents!
of the club, were delegates to|
this meeting to which W.C.U.N.C. |
was hostess. i
The purpose of this workshop
was to find solutions to problems
that had arisen in the various
clubs and to discuss the four
major objectives and problems;
namely, professional pride, de
velopment of international rela
tions, participation in commu
nity service, and the develop
ment of interest on college level
for the high school girls as
worked out by the National
Home Economics Association
with which the Meredith club is
affiliated.
Group discussions were held
in which program suggestions
for the coming years and all
work concerning Home Eco
nomics Clubs were considered.
This group organized into an offi
cial club, the North Carolina
College Home Economics Club
Association, with plans to meet
annually. Heading the club for
next year will be Frances Mc
Clure, a student at W.C.U.N.C.,
president, and Mrs. Cathryne
Kehar, a member of the home
economics department at Wom
an’s College, adviser.
Meredith delegates were en
tertained by W.C.U.N.C. and
were offered the opportunity of
viewing the home management
houses. Many new ideas were
obtained that will be useful in
the future clubs.

Brewer Cedar Chest
Crooking is the talk of the
campus; in fact, it has spread all
the way to the Cedar Chest,
cabin of Miss Ellen Brewer, who
is sponsor for the senior class.
On plates and napkins, in nooks
and corners—crooks were every
where in the Cedar Chest when
Miss Brewer entertained her
“crookers,” namely the seniors,
at a tea on Thursday afternoon.
May 2. Refreshments of ice
cream, cake, nuts, and candies
were served by several in the
home economics department.
Following the tea the home
economics seniors were enter
tained at an informal supper,
followed by crooking which led
the seniors up into the balcony
where, in an old trunk, the crook
and souvenirs were found for
each of these seniors: Dorothy
Stone, Pearl Grigg, Gwendolyn
Krahnke, Ruby Lee Spencer,
Edith Sorrell, Hazel Johnson,

High School Seniors
See Impromptu Skit
Visiting seniors from through
out the state were entertained
last Saturday night May 4, by an
impromptu skit presented by fac
ulty and students on “College
Life.” Mr. Harry K. Dorsett di
rected the skit, and Virginia
Campbell supplied piano inter
polations. Appearing on the
program were Mrs. Lula Watts,
Dr. Quentin Oliver McAllister,
Dr. John Yarborough, Mr. Clay
ton Charles, and Mr. John Rem-
bert and others. A quartet sang,
and the creative rhythms group
danced. “A College of the Seven
Lively Arts” was the general
theme of the comedy, the entire
skit being an amusing interpre
tation of life at Meredith.
By Jewell Eatman
i Perhaps some of you have
i heard all about the pictures that
photographer Robin Garland has
made of several Meredith girls
in picnic scenes which will ap
pear in the August edition of
Holiday Magazine, but there
may be some who do not know
of many of Mr. Garland’s experi
ences in photographic work,
some of which he related to me
in an interview by mail.
Garland, one of the nation’s
youngest photographic editors at
28, began his career as a news
paper darkroom boy. For two
I and one-half years, he was pho-
I tography editor of the Saturday
Evening Post, but now is a free
lance photographer who is as
signed by magazines for specific
coverage. His assignments in
clude pictures for Ladies’ Home
Journal, The Saturday Evening
Post, Holiday, and Today’s
Women. As photo editor, he
also has to do some news writing.
During the war, as a civilian
correspondent, he was attached
to the Navy or Army to report
and make photographs for the
Post. He took the first published
photographs of an East Coast
Convoy in 1942 for the Post,
“The Battle of the Atlantic.” At
that time a Jerry torpedo fired
at them, missed, but got another
ship in the convoy. After 20-30
attacks in a day, the entire ship’s
company became rather used to
the idea that they might not
reach port. In 1943 and 1944,
Garland spent weeks with the
Navy in the North Atlantic see
ing them clear up the submarine
menace; and in 1944, he went on
a number of flights and bombing
missions and also lived with the
fighter pilots in different parts of
England.
Mr. Garland’s interest in pho
tography is shared by his wife
and three children. His wife, an
excellent photographer, has done
commercial portraiture earning
as high as $110.00 a week.
In reference to the use of pho
tography, Garland believes that
the public, always interested in
pictorial reporting, is beginning
to tire of the cheesecake some
magazines have been publish
ing. Combining good writing
with honest photography seems
to be taking the place of straight
photographic coverage. The
search seems to be for improve
ment, for reportorial photo
graphs were executed, now that
the novelty has worn off picture
sections and picture magazines.
But he says, “There will prob
ably always be the Police
Gazette with big bosomed gals in
scanty suits.” Repeating the
frequently made statement that
a photographer can distort and
overemphasize the wrong things,
thus flattering people, Mr. Gar
land adds that to make photo
graphs salable to national pub
lications, photographs must be
objective.
Among the famous personali
ties that he has photographed
are most of the presidents and
nominees since 1940, Generals
Arnold, Doolittle, Spatz, Mar
shall, Brereton, and Bradley,,
Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Claud
ette Colbert, and other movie
stars. He prefers photographing
unknowns rather than famous
personalities. He thought more
of fighter and bomber boys pho
tographed one hour and dead the
next or the little old apple
cheeked farmer up in Glaston
bury than any of the famous
crowd. He says, “Possibly be
cause I’m a photographer and
meet a lot of people, I sour on
them quickly. It’s fun to work
with folks that are unaffected
and real. Some of the girls at
Meredith seemed to have that
quality; and if they became fa
mous for any reason, I hope they
retain it.”
The pictures that Mr. Garland
took of the Meredith girls to be
featured with an article on pic
nics in the Holiday Magazine are
the first pictures that he has
taken in North Carolina. It is
hoped that he may possibly visit
Meredith again this fall and take
some pictures of Palio.
AT THE WINDOW
White - pettled cream - centered
roses
Nodding against the pane
Wear clear jewels of rain;
And each jewel encloses
For the child’s meditative eye.
In a crystal sparkling and fine,
The earth’s long horizon line
And the rain-swept depth of the
sky.
So inner and outer are one;
So the world’s most inward
part.
The tear-jewelled rose of the
heart.
Holds roses and streams and the
sun.
