If you, student, after a won
derful summer vacation think
you are the only one who is
rested and ready for a year’s
work, you’re wrong. The faculty,
too, is prepared for this semester.
Some of our teachers spent the
summer at home; some traveled;
the remainder studied in sum
mer schools.
Among those staying at home
were: Dr. Mary L. Johnson and
Miss Jennie Hanyen. This sum
mer is the first time in several
years that Dr. Johnson has got
ten ready for “those freshmen”
in this way. Dr. L. E. M. Free
man also stayed at home most
of the summer. He made one
trip to the mountains for pleas
ure and another to Ridgecrest
to attend the Interracial Con
ference.
Several of our faculty mem
bers taught here at Meredith
during the summer session. Dr.
Lillian Wallace, Miss Louise
Lanham, and Dr. Ralph McLain

headed the history, English, and
religion departments respective
ly. Other faculty members
taught in other schools. Miss
Phyllis Cunningham taught at
the University of Illinois and
then spent the rest of her vaca
tion at her home in Martinsville,
Illinois. Also, Mr. Tyner taught
in the Wake Forest College
Summer School.
Dr. Helen Price and Miss
Syron combined business and
pleasure this year. They drove
through the country to the Uni
versity of Washington in Seattle,
where they studied. On their
return trip they visited such
places of interest as San Diego
and Yellowstone National Park.
Regardless of how we or the
faculty spent our vacation, the
time has come for us to settle
down and let vacation be a pleas
ant memory for another school
term.

The State Fair Grounds was
the scene of the big Horse Show
which was held in Raleigh,
August 21 through 24. Mere
dith had two entries in the show.
Tommy, a chestnut sorrel, was
entered in the Novice Five
Gaited Class and the Five Gaited
Class. He was ridden by his
former owner, Mrs. Joe Barber.
Duke, chestnut gelding with
four stocking feet, was shown
in three classes, the Novice Three
Gaited Class, the Local Pleasure
Horse Class, and the Children’s
Horsemanship Class. Duke was
ridden in the first two classes by
Miss Elaine Boggess, instructor
in Equitation at Meredith, and
by Virginia McGee in the latter.
Duke placed third in the Local
Pleasure Horse Class, a very
creditable showing.
For those who may not be
familiar with the language of
the horseman or the procedure
of a horse show, we give you a
look at what goes on behind the
scenes.
To the befuddled spectator at
his first attendance, a show
means little more than the hub
hub of the grand stand, hot dogs
and soda pop or beautiful ladies
in chic riding habits. But to
the horseman, a show means
weeks of preparation. The horse
must be sent through diverse
“glamourizing” processes. That
beautifully arched tail which
most spectators believe to be the
work of Mother Nature is often
done by slitting the tail, binding
it, and placing it in a rack for
a long period of time. (A rack
is a small sized edition of a
straight-jacket.) Black shoe
polish is then applied to the
horse’s hoofs and white polish to
the white parts of his legs. That
sleek, glossy coat is often due to
application of olive oil. And
when the horse’s tail is not as
pretty as it might be, it is quite
simple to tie on a false one.
After the horse is ready to
be shown, he is placed in a class
according to his abilities. For
Martha Hamrick, editor of the
Twig; Jean Parker, editor of the
Oak Leaves; Jean Branch, editor
of the Acorn; Jetta Funderburk,
president of the Senior Class;
Dorothy Singleton, president of
the Junior Class; and Aileen
Belton, president of the Sopho
more Class.

WHAT is a KILOWATT HOUR?
The term kilowatt hour is really not difficult to
understand. It is simply a unit of measurement for
electricity just like a foot is a measure of length—•
a gallon a measure of liquid—and so on. A kilo
watt hour represents the use of 1000 watts of elec
tricity for one hour. It is the unit of measurement
used in your electric bill. It represents energy
equivalent to one and one-third horsepower, and
the residential customers of the Carolina Power
and Light Company pay an average of two and
seven-tenths cents for each kilowatt hour of elec
tricity used.
( CAROLINA POWER g XIGHT COMPANY )
example, the Model Class is
judged on conformation. Each
horse is put through certain tests
to prove the abilities of both
horse and rider. Those in the
three Gaited Class must walk,
trot, and canter. They are
judged for speed, style, and
action! The most spectacular
classes are the Fine Harness
Class, the Knock Down and Out
Class, the most complicated
Jumper Class, and the Five
Gaited Class. A horse show
usually has a rather slow begin
ning which builds up to a grand
climax. By the process of elimi
nation the best entries are
brought to the last night in
which all classes are shown for a
stake.
This, in a bird’s eye. view is
the conventional horse show. We
invite you to come out to the
riding ring where Miss Boggess
can give you first information
and show you all the tricks of
sportsmanship.
The first faculty recital of this
season will be presented Friday,
October 4 at 8:00 by Stuart
Pratt, head of the piano depart
ment at Meredith. Mr. Pratt
has studied both in this country
and abroad, and has completed
several summer’s work with
Egon Petri, virtuoso pianist now
in America.
His program for the evening
follows:
Bach-Petri—“Sheep May Safe
ly Graze.”
Beethoven—Sonata, Opus 78.
Ziszt—Variations on “Weinen,
Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen.”
Chopin—24 Preludes—Opus 25.
