Societies Stage Freshman Frolics
Plays Tomorrow kathleen faulkoner
Competition between the
Astros and the Phis will reach
a new height Saturday night'
when the two societies will con-,
tend for the cup presented an-;
nually for the winning play. I
There is more than traditional
rivalry involved this year, for!
the winning play will represent ^
Meredith at the State Dramatic l
Festival held at Chapel Hill in j
April. The requirement for entry
is a one-act tragedy.
The Astros will present Az-
teca, a story of pre-conquest
Mexico, by Josephina Niggli.
Miss Niggli’s play is of special
interest, because the author is
from Chapel Hill. Fran Thomp
son, Doris Williamson, Lois Har
mon, Edith Camp, Mitchell Lee.
Virginia Campbell, Gazelle
Moore, arid Mary Frances Keene
play the roles.
Riders to the Sea, one of the
outstanding examples of Irish
tragedy, by J. M. Synge, will be
given by the Phis. The charac
ters are portrayed by Dot Lof-
tin, Sally Lou Taylor, Dot Swar-
ingen, and Kat Wyatt.
Included as a third feature on
Saturday night will be the an
nual freshman play. This year,
Mary Lee Rankin, freshman
president, has chosen Diet Be
gins Tomorrow, a delightful
comedy, by Mary Stearns.
Frances Meadows, Pat Phillips,
Christine Williamson, Cindy
Renner, and Emily Pool are cast
as a group of girls who resolve
to go on a diet—tomorrow.

The class play is scheduled for
the evening of the 15th. Winnie
Fitzgerald has been named stage
manager; Ellen Goldston and
Sue Conley will be prompters;
Doris Concha is in charge of
makeup, and Lib Holdford will
handle the program committee.

Sara Pope’s unusual amount
of exuberance these days may
be accounted for by the return
[home of her soldierboy, “Eddie,”
whom she saw last week for the
first time in a year. Ann Josey
was equally pleased to talk
“over the wires” at the same
time with her Army lieutenant
brother, Claude, who is back at
West Point after two years
abroad.

I scheduled at that time. If not,
j the shindig will be postponed ’til

If the title leads you to think
that this is a session of “scram-
by-amby,” you’re wrong! The
following words (of wisdom?)
are in reference to that well-
known (even in Britain) pro
gram called Wolgnoom—which
being translated means “Moon-
glow.”
Just what is Moonglow? Is it
the light due to the radiations
from the moon, or does it have
a deeper significance? Will fu
ture generations connect it with
the light emanating from a
planet which revolves about the
earth, or will they restrict its use
to a program? And if its use is
to be restricted to a program,
what kind of a program is it to
be? Let’s see what it is now.
It’s 11:15 and all ears listen
for the strains of the song,
“Moonglow.” One never hears
all of it because it is interrupted
with the harsh vibrations of a
masculine ( ?) voice announcing
the name of the program (as if
the audience couldn’t deduce
that from the theme song!).
Then comes a tirade of hypo
critical remarks from Sam
Beard, who handles the pro
gram. (He evidently sits up days
as well as nights to find enough
cynical observations with which
to run the program.) Instead of
reading a request and playing
the desired number, this charac
ter puts another disk on the
turntable and makes several
slighting remarks about the per
son who dares to ask to have his
favorite record played. After
playing one soft dreamy num
ber — say Vaughan Monroe’s
“Racing with the Moon”—this
creature growls insults at the
recording, then proceeds to
another unsuspecting listener
and tears his request to shreds.
Tearing things to shreds recalls
one of the pet topics discussed
—the quality of voice, especially
Vthe rty al'er hotioecl in the voices
Grey flannel always looks right.

with a flat shining collar of white
pique. The cutaway jacket has a
fishtail back; the skirt is plain and

of Vaughan Monroe and Frank
Sinatra. (Beard really loves
them! almost as much as he is
going to love me!!) Maybe one
night a month the program takes
“a turn for the best,” but almost
six nights a week (barring re
broadcasts of ball games) one
hears the same satirical “Stuff.”
Is this what Moonglow should
be? You the listening audience
could change it if you wished—
public pressure still carries in
fluence—but do you want this
program changed? To keep you
—the reader—from getting the
idea that “Moonglow” isn’t fully
appreciated, I pause — not for
station identification (I’m still
at Meredith College)—but to
throw a bouquet. Sam Beard’s
use of sarcasm is the keynote to
his wide audience of listeners
and he is quite clever about it
Now that the bouquet has been
dropped, it’s time to trarnpie it
Why? Well, just listen to Wol
gnoom (Moonglow spelled back
wards) and make your evalua
tion of that wonderful (?)
program!

Newest fashions for 1947 went
on parade for the faculty and
students at the Spring Fashion
Show presented February 25,
1947, at seven o’clock in Phi
Hall by the Home Economics
Club.
Fashion tricks for Easter—gay
prints, pastel rayons, crepes,
gabardines with three-quarter
length push-up sleeves, and trim
suits—were modeled by Doris
Mitchner, Joyce Thomas, Helen
Finch, Dot Childress, Gladys
Green, Dot Cox, Jolene Weath
ers, Ruth Sears, Rosemary Dean,
Mary Fran Carpenter, and Cath
erine Campbell.
Colorful chambrays, plaid
seersuckers, pastel piques,
stripes with white trimmings,
low neck lines, half peplums,
tucks, and tiny pleats are the
order of the day for summer.
Models Edith Timberlake, Fran
ces Williams, Doris Mitchner,
Mary Rosy, Jane McDaniel, and
Hazel Williamson proved the
necessity of these items.
Since winter isn’t quite gone,
models Gayle Wells and Ruth
Hall, with their colorful wools
were still “in the know.” And
for gals who like suits, Lillian
Swinson suggested a brown and
blue check with that new yoke
and trim lines. (It really appeals
to men!) For those who like
their wardrobes to have a touch
of sophistication, Ruth Hall,
C 1 a r i n e Weathers, Catherine
Campbell, and Iva Hurst mod
eled coats with that different
look — but — the old favorites,
black Chesterfields, are on the
“must” list.
While Forestine Snider played
background music, Albertme
Rozar, mistress of ceremonies,
described the fashions as the
models passed on the stage. All
the clothes for the show were
made in tailoring classes; ar
rangements were directed by
Rosemary Fulmer.
