WHAT DO YOU THINK . . .
Do you object to assigned chapel seats? Why?
“I wouldn’t mind assigned seats if we
wouldn’t have to go but two or three
days a week.”

“I think it would be most inconvenient dith College Auditorium Friday
for everyone, and it would mean that night. May 31, 1946, at 8:00. The
chapel attendance would no longer be program is as follows:

under the honor system. If chapel at
tendance cannot be regulated, however,
without any form of checking on those
who do not uphold chapel attendance,
I think assigned seats would be the most
efficient means of checking.”
“I believe if Meredith is to have a true
honor system, there should be no as
signed seats in chapel. When we find
that chapel attendance does not im
prove, then it would be time for a
change in the chapel sy.stem.”
“Assigned seats sounds as though we
were small children who had to be
placed in a certain place for a certain
time to be watched. There would no
longer be the feeling of honor present
in the minds of any student, and they
would be very inconvenient for every
one. If honor cannot be maintained
however, assigned seats would be the
only solution.”
“I think that if Meredith students are
going to stand behind and enforce an
honor system, there should be no as
signed seats. I think we need more
chapel cuts, more chapel programs with
students participating, thus better
chapel attendance. Why are we checked
and double checked if we have an
honor system?”
“I do not think that there should be as
signed seats in chapel, for I do not
think that is the proper method to im
prove chapel attendance. Perhaps if
more attention were given to what hap
pened in the chapel, attendance would
improve.”
“I do not think that the idea of assigning
chapel seats would be adequate. We
students like to think that we are old
enough to assume responsibilities of col
lege students, yet some of us are not
willing to attend chapel—one of our re
quirements and responsibilities. I be
lieve that a lack of interest is the main
blockade.”

SENIORS ENTER
COMPREHENSIVE EXAMS
Ninety-five Meredith seniors
have taken senior comprehen
sive examinations. These exami
nations were given to the seniors
May 17 and 18 under the in
struction of Harry K. Dorsett.
They include eight hours in
general liberal arts education
covering vocabulary, general
mathemtaics, biological science,
arts, social studies, literature,
physical science, and effective
ness of expression. In addition
there was a two hour examina
tion in the major field of study
pursued by the individual stu
dent.
Meredith College was selected
as one of the institutions to parti-
willed almost everything from
“cabbages to kings,” and with a
bit of browsing around we have
been able to uncover several of
the bequeathed treasures.
Helen Hall wills her technique
in blowing fuses in the audito
rium to Dot Beland. Mary G.
Turner wills her “ESP” ability
to shoot crap to “Lefty” Pugh
(seb’n come leb’n). Julia Flem
ing passes on her position as
errand girl in Miss Baker’s office
to one of her apprentices, Char
lotte Haight. (Remember Gar
cia). Peggy Haywood wills to
“Hoodie” Hughes her “un
known” in bacteriology (which
she has as yet been unable to
find). Hilda Frink bestows her
love for brunette sailors upon
each rising senior class. Lucye
Norville wills her psychology
term paper on Edgar Allen Poe
to future psychology strugglers.
Dot Weldon wills “Don” to
Thelma Haigler. (We do not
know the details . . . but it
sounds all right!) Amy Wyche
graciously leaves her room to
help solve the housing problem
in the vicinity. Olema Olive
wishes to return Mary Dell
Fales’ identity to her. People
are always mixing them up! Our
“madame president” Nancy
Harris wills those alluring dark
circles situated beneath each of
her lovely eyes to Helen Wallis.
Since people seem to think Jo
Hughes talks slowly, she wishes
to will that Southern drawl to
“Speedy.” (My, doesn’t she need
it!) Ruby Greene bestows upon
all the Meredith girls her joy of
laughter. Kitty Johnson wills
her skill in making wash bottles
in lab. to Harriet Neese. (Maybe
she can use it over at State this
summer!) “Hoodie” Hughes
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT seems to be quite favored, as an-
SENIOR CLASS—1946 ' other senior has willed some-
thing to her also. This time Mitzi
Before much longer the Sen- Roddick wills “Hoodie” some of
iors will bid farewell to Mere- her excess height . . . now wait
dith, but they have generously a minute . . . I’m confused! Mary
consented to leave here with Lib Banks leaves her ability to
those of us who remain many get along with one man to Bar-
choice souvenirs. They have bara Johnson. (Don’t we all need
that?) To any second semester
junior who has not yet decided
on her major, “Lib” Sawyer
wills her ability to make up her
mind. Jane Watkins wills “Mil-
ton Bear” to the Phi Society.
“Flo” Olive leaves her weekly
agonies with The Twig to Bar
bara Shellsmith . . . Hey, wait
for me! Frances Wallace leaves
to Betty Jean Yeager her ability
to take short-hand and then read
it (Remarkable!) Jo Dorsett Kor
negay wills her ability to look
after a husband to Jean Arthur.
Emma Southerland and Helen
Burt Mauney collectively will
their bridge-playing ability to
“Goat” Holcomb and Peggy
Parker. (They might really make
a high score, if they knew how to
keep it! Who knows?) Madge
Wood wills her courageous de
termination not to be hypnotized
to that submissive subject, Bette
Linney. Anne McLendon leaves
her position at the library desk
to that freshman who is fast
learning the trade. Dot Swarin-
ger. Fran Watkins wills her
ability to be a good chaperone
to Dot Loftin. (Now, Dot!) Liz
Shelton bequeaths her easel and
high stool located in the north
east of the back studio to an
other poor struggling artist.
Betty Anderson wills her love
for hut parties to Joan Drake.
“Sis” Foster wills her seat in
the typing lab to Jean Griffith
so that she can type her chemis
try labels! Melba Long wills her
well-cropped bangs to Mollie
Fearing with the hope that she
will keep them in good order.
We could go on and on, but as
you will notice below, the space
is running out.

RALEIGH LITTLE THEATER
(Continued from page one)
the Little Theatre says Our
Town is a fine play. It was given
at the Raleigh Little Theatre six
years ago and is repeated by
popular request. A Pulitzer
Prize winner. Our Town is an
American town. The sadness,
joy, laughter, and pathos of the
townspeople are vividly por
trayed. (Containing good, whole
some comedy, moving drama,
and innocent love. Our Town ap
peals to adults, yet is so simply
presented that a child can under
stand it. It aims at all American
life and is an outstanding drama.
