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

Tuesday night, April 14, at 6:45
in Phi Hall. The officers for
1946-1947 were installed after
which a party was held with Sis

charge. The party came to a
close with the graduating seniors
telling of their future plans.

GIRLS CORRESPOND
WITH SPANISH BOYS
It began a year ago this spring
when Miss McDonald, a former
Spanish teacher asked her
Spanish classes if they would
like to correspond with some
South American girls. 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

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.

ditions and college songs. The
regulations are diivded into col
lege policies and those rules
made by the students. All “dead”
material has been omitted from
the new handbook. This ma
terial includes traditions no
longer followed. In addition to
the songs in the present hand
book, the May Queen Song, Big
Sister-Little Sister Song, “Hail
to the Even Spirit,” which is the
traditional song of the even
classes, and “These Bones,” song
of the odd classes, will appear in
the new handbook. Because of
the changes made in the rules,
the new handbook will not be out
by the end of school, but will be
mailed to students during the
summer.

undergraduate work. Most of
them are intersted in art,

more extensively and found that
Home Economy is about the same
as our economics and not Home
Economics as she first thought.
