1 . f , I \ \ May 24, 1946 THE TWIG Page Three FEATURING THE FACULTY The month of May has been a most diligent one for many of the faculty members. The Music Department has presented to the student body enjoyable enter tainment through its recitals and photography exhibition. On May 1, Mrs. Gladys Lawhon gave her first faculty recital at Meredith. Her program was taken from the following composers: Corelli- Godowsky, Loeilly - Godowsky, Mac Dowell, Chopin, Debussy, and De Falla. On May 13, Mrs. Lila LeVan Loadwick presented her piano recital which was com posed of selections from Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Ravel, De bussy, and Liapounow. Dr. Cooper turned from the organ to exhibit the first one-man show of photography in the College Art Gallery. His hobby is photo graphy and his excellency in this field is clearly portrayed in his exhibition. Mr. Clayton Charles and Mr. John Rembert of the Art Depart ment exhibited some of their works in the State Art Gallery during the first of the month. For the past two weeks the students have been enjoying the poetical side of life while read ing Dr. McCurdy’s A Straw Flute. They admire the versa tility of their faculty. Mr. Zeno Martin gave a picnic supper for the members of the faculty on May 10 at the chim ney. This was a period of re laxation and fun. The annual “Play Day” was scheduled for the afternoon of May 16. At this time everyone including faculty and students were to forget their classes, studies, and worries and to get together for a carefree afternoon of play. The faculty-student softball game was to be the big event of the day—but how the students wanted to be victorious for they have never won this part of “Play Day”! The weather man was disagreeable on that day and preferred to sprinkle us wRh showers rather than send sparkling rays across our cam pus. Everyone was disappointed that the event could not be held and turned to go to the Arts and Science building, the library, and their rooms to continue their studying. These were a few of the faculty highlights during the month at Meredith. Soon our instructors will be leaving for a well deserved vacation, and the students wish them a summer’s worth of pleasure and happiness. BARBER SCIENCE CLUB Members of the Barber Science Club were entertained at a picnic lunch in the Hut Tuesday, May 14. Hamburgers, cold slaw, cookies, ice cream, and punch were served. Music was enjoyed during the hour also. TOMORROW’S BUSINESS WOMEN Tomorrow’s Business Women held its last meeting of the year Tuesday night, April 14, at 6:45 in Phi Hall.

Several of the girls, including Helen Norville, signed up and eagerly awaited mail all summer. No mail came. Early this fall, Helen went to her postoffice box and found a mysterious letter. The envelope was addressed in the most ex quisite handwriting. The letter was from Barcelona, Spain, and Helen began pondering over the situation until she read the first paragraph, which said: “A friend of mine gave me your address from the, local representation of the International Students’ So ciety, and I thought it would be nice to correspond with an American girl.” The writer was a student at the “Peritaji Mer- cantil” and was majoring in Home Economy. Helen an swered, using all feminine articles because she knew Miss McDonald had said the corres pondents would be girls. She awaited an answer and finally one came. Inclosed was a pic ture, but not of a girl. Instead, it was a very nice looking boy with a definite Spanish air. Helen was completely amazed as well as embarrassed. She read his letter, noticing the masculine articles this time. In her next letter, she apologized. In the second letter, he asked for names and addresses of several friends as some of his friends wished to start a similar correspondence. They had to know a little Spanish, because always half of the letters are in Spanish and half are in English. She sent names and ages, so they could be easily matched, and they are Eleanor Jane Andrews, Ann Beal, Ronney Holleman, Lucye Norville, and Christine Bordeaux. All of these girls have received at least one letter, and every one has contained a pic ture of the boys. They spend a great deal of time after the let ters arrive comparing pictures, reading the letters out loud, helping each other translate, and discussing contents. All of the boys are in school, some in their fifth year at the University of Barcelona, and Sports Review By BETTE LINNEY GET IN THE SWING OF SUMMERTIME EASHION ... by shopping Taylor's for young, captivating sun, sand and surf clothes. WUJA THE SHOWPl^CEp^ OF THE CAROLINAS THE SHOWPLACE OF THE CAROLINAS Mother Nature frowned down on what promised to be a most successful Play Day. Because of this interruption by rain, and because it is so late in the season, it will be impossible to hold Play Day this year. But why not make an hour or two of each day a “play day”? We have the faci lities to fill just about every wish in the sports category—tennis, golf, softball, horseback riding— to mention only a few. Come out and play! The softball tournament is now under way. The first game was played last week with the Freshmen and Juniors winning from the Sophomores and Seniors by a close score of eight to seven. The remaining games are to be played on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday after noons at five o’clock. Come and cheer your team to victory.
