Book Reviews
By Mary Lou Dawkins
Among the new books in the
library, one which is well worth
reading is Janey Jeems. It is of
special interest to us because
the author, Bernice Kelly Har
ris, is a Meredith alumna. This
book is the story of Janey Jeems
who married at fifteen and spent
her life in complete submission
and devotion to her husband
and to learning his religion in
order to make a living and bring
up God-fearing children. The
author presents a good picture
of the hardships of living in the
Carolina hills, and the fact that
she shows how happiness can
be wrought out of poverty and
advantages gained by the poor
is very impressive.
Another good book that has
been added to the library is
B. F.’s Daughter by John P.
Marquand, who is also the au
thor of H. M. Pullham, Esquire
and So Little Time. This book,
the story of Polly Fulton who
had everything, of her loves, of
her trips abroad, and of her
domination by her rich father,
is a “comedy of manners cov
ering contemporaneously and in
retrospect a period of thirty
years.” It tells how Polly
learned the hard way that the
inheritance of strength, of de
termination, and of wealth from
her father conflicted with the
inheritance of the confusion of
the times. B. F.’s Daughter “for
its reality, for its characters,
and for its picture of an era”
is highly recommended.
Sports Review]

That long-awaited Badminton
Tournament has finally gotten
under way. Fourteen players
have entered both the singles
and doubles tournament. The
winners will be chosen by the
process of elimination. The first
round of games were completed
by Monday, February 24th
Check the scoring chart in John
son Hall for a day by day ac
count of the games.
If, every night around nine-]
thirty, you are suddenly star
tled by mad shouts of joy from
the direction of the gym, you^
have probably concluded that
the basketball tournament is in
full swing. This is what we call
a “Round Robin” tournament;!

Class conversation these days
is centered about the Frosh play
that is to be produced next
rnonth when the literary socie
ties give their tragedies. The
reading committee has selected
a one-act comedy by Mary
Stearns, “Diet Begins Tomor
row.” Baker’s play catalogue
tells us that the results of a
situation where three friends
solernnly vow to begin a strict
diet in order to streamline them
selves, will be some good giggles
and guffaws from the audience.
In fact, it will be a laughable
situation that everyone will
enjoy.
The cast includes Frances
Leigh Meadows, Emily Pool,
Pat Phillips, “Cindy” Renner,
and Christine Williamson. Class
proxy Mary Lee Rankin, and
this reporter will handle direc
tion chores.
* *
And speaking of the theater,
we’re proud to announce that
Sally Taylor has herself a top-
notch role in the Phi’s “Riders
To The Sea,” and Gazelle Moore
is in the cast of the forthcoming
Astro tragedy.
We have it on good authority
that Sue Page and Ellen Gold-
ston had much to do with the
painting of the “Kilgore” signs
on the Stringfield door panes.
Sue has been feuding with Pat
Phillips for the past several
weeks and pranks have included
hidden alarm clocks set at one-
hour intervals, glue coated
che w i n g gum, short-sheeted
beds, lipsticks, and soap coated
with clear-colored nail polish,
salt-strewn beds—yes sir, every
thing but the kitchen sink, and
we understand that Sue’s latest
brainstorm is quite a “drippy”
affair.
* * ♦
Congrats are in order for
Doris Concha who has been
named freshman representative
to the Athletic Association. The
A. A. Board named her after
consideration of sports partici
pation record (soccer, riding,
and basketball), and the fact
that she made the eligibility list.
