BOOK REVIEW
By AGNES COOPER
With the great popularity of
the all-summer annual produc
tion that Paul Green’s The Lost
Colony,” in Manteo, North Caro
lina, holds over this nation and
abroad, it is fitting that the Uni
versity of North Carolina Press
in Chapel Hill should publish the
fourth printing of the play, a
“Memorial Edition.”
First, the graphic feeling that
copy and play are able to im
plant in the reader or viewer
makes one actually a part of the
great struggle against the im
pregnable wilderness of this new
land in the late 1500’s; then, the
complete musical score accom
panies this edition, also a record
of players, technical staff, and
other people and organizations
that have made North Carolina s
epic production possible, and
last, but not least, the pictures
of this edition have been chosen
not only for dramatic effect but
also for technical perfection.
As for the story that Paul
Green has written of the first
English settlers on the shores of
North Carolina’s Roanoke Is
land, it is “in the main true to
the facts of history,” and you
must read it or see the play for
yourself to find it the great
“Symphonic Drama in Two Acts,
with Music, Pantomime, and
Dance,” that he has made it, and
to draw unto yourself the strong
ideals that the author implies
must be with each one of us as
settlers in this world, if we are
ever to implant a successful
community in any spot on earth.

MEREDITH WELCOMES FOREIGN ELEMENT
Have you seen all the new faces here at Meredith this year? Well let’s meet a few of these
girls.
Most granddaughters like to visit their grandmothers, and since Emily Pool is a grand
daughter of Meredith College, we are hoping that she will want to make a four year visit here.
Emily is a recent resident of Havana, Cuba, and she loves to speak Spanish. Her hobby is col
lecting dogs, any kind, even the few mongrels straying around the campus. Food? well, Emily
says she just loves to eat, and her favorite dish is fried bananas. She doesn’t like frills because
she doesn’t think they suit her. As yet, we don’t know her favorite color—Emily declined to
mention until after “rush week.” But our blonde freshman admits that she loves to wear heels
and has mastered that art of running in them. Maybe her love for heels will explain why Emily
likes tall boys, but her love for sloshing around in boots during rainy weather can only be appre
ciated by those who are of the same mind as she. (At the present, Emily is looking for a pair of
boots—could you help her?)
And while we’re looking for new faces, let’s remember that there are new accents, too.
Jean Pierce has a most fascinating English accent. She is from Cheshire, England, near Man
chester, and has been in the States about nine or ten weeks. Jean has dark hair, blue eyes (like
her father’s), and a very interesting face. Her favorite color is blue and her taste in clothes shies
away from frills. Jean says about food that she likes to eat fruit of any kind. Her hobbies are
sewing and playing the piano—in fact, Jean is planning to major in piano and as a second cho’ce
is very interested in writing. The man in her life? He’s an Englishman and there’s no hope for
any of those State College Wolves. Jean thinks that Raleigh is quaint, and she’s not too impatient
about riding the city buses—unless they are very crowded. She is a day student and lives in
Raleigh with her family.
Let’s go down to South America now—to Quito, Ecuador. From Quito we have a freshman,
Beatriz Tinajero, known to all the girls here as Bea (pronounced as B). She is the younger of
the two girls in her family and has dark wavy hair and beautiful and expressive brown eyes. Bea
loves to ride horseback, to swim, to play tennis and she writes short stories. We don’t serve Bea’s
favorite food, which is a soup made of potatoes, yet very unlike any of our soups. Her favorite col
or is blue and she prefers tailored suits. Men? Well Bea doesn’t have a special one. She says she
likes them al] and they’re sure to like her. Her favorite song is “No sotros,” a very beautiful
bolero. In noting the main difference between Meredith and Quito, Bea says that the Meredith girls
are more friendly than those at her home. She definitely likes Meredith and is quite rapidly
learning to make herself understood in and to understand English. Oh girls there’s one more item
that was almost overlooked—Bea can tell your fortune with Spanish cards.
