October 17, 1947 THE TWIG Page Three I SportA o/ the By B. J. JOHNSON The hockey season is really underway with a bang—thanks to all the girls taking part! There is really going to be competition for the winner of the hockey stick with all the good pros pects from the Freshmen Class. In fact, the number of partici pants from the four classes are: Freshmen Class, 21; Sophomore Class, 9; Junior Class, 9; Senior Class, 12. Since five practices are required before one is eligi ble to play in the tournament, it is expected that eight fresh men will be eligible, seven sophomores, seven juniors, and twelve seniors. Jane Middleton, hockey manager, reports that there will probably be three more practices before the big play-off between the Astros and Phis and the Big Sisters and Little Sisters. Hockey players, be sure to get all your practices off. To you others, we’ll be counting on you to be rooting on the side lines at the big games. The Equitation Group had a meeting in the hut on October 9. The new members were told that the activities of the group in clude stimulating interest in horsemanship through partici- BOSSE Jewelers Complete Watch and Jewelry Repairs Dignified Gifts 107 Fayetteville Street pating in Palio, the giving of a gymkana, and going on an over night ride to Crabtree Creek. Speaking of this over-night ride, plans are being made—like who’s to cook the breakfast and who’s to sleep without that blan ket they just didn’t have room to take out on the horse. Sounds like the Equitation Group is in for a “gayla” time on October 25, “n’est-ce-pas”? The freshman tennis tourna ment begins next week also! The freshmen who will be out playing in the elimination tour nament are Frances Almond, Beth Boggs, Catherine Carpen ter, Kathleen Dean, Emma Hough, Dot Cutts, Marjoie Joy ner, Lorena Kirkley, Sarah Mc- Lelland, Jacqueline Morgan, Jose Emily Reid, Donna Walston.

Probable plays are Young Chris topher Bean, Clarence, Growing Pains, and Death Takes a Holi day. The Little Theater will also sponsor a spring production, the annual society plays, and the Freshman Class play. The Bar ter Theater, which presented Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest in the Meredith auditorium last Friday, was also here under the sponsorship of the Little Theater. This year, members of the Lit tle Theater plan to design and make their own costumes. At the end of last year, the Little Theater was given new stage lights, and this year part of the organization’s budget will in clude buying new makeup kits. Since freshmen are feted so much in the fall, the Little The ater will forego its usual fall party. Plans will be made to honor the freshmen later in the year. Another plan, which is tentative, is the presentation of a Christmas pageant. The officers of the Little The ater are Edith Camp, president; Mary Frances Keene, vice presi dent; Sally Lou Taylor, secre tary; and Gazelle Moore, treas urer. Miss Catherine Hilderman is the faculty adviser.

The hall had been transformed by signs indicating “prison camp” and “death row.” On entering, each new “prisoner” was given a name tag and serial number and an information blank calling for the names of three blondes, three brunettes, Meredith and State B. S. U. presidents, etc. During the evening, “Warden” Ed Smith of State, liy cross-ex amination, learned that the pris oners professed great ignorance of the comic strips. Under the direction of the “trusties,” hi larious entertainment was pro vided for the prisoners. After refreshments were served, the evening closed with a few words from the “prison Chaplain,” Bob Lassiter. GIRLS!

York by John Gielgud and Com pany and has been acclaimed as the “greatest comedy of man ners.” Staged by Owen Phillips, the play revolves around Jack Worthing, who invents an imaginary younger brother, Ernest, to demand attention whenever he needs a convenient alibi or escape for a week end holiday. The lie gets out of hand when Algernon Moncrier intro duces himself as Ernest to Jack’s ward, Cecily, who has be come interested in this brother. Meanwhile, Jack has proposed to Algy’s cousin, Gwendolyn, who knows him as Earnest. The play gets delightfully confusing and grows even more so with the interference of Carroll Mc- Comas as the socially conscious aunt. Lady Bracknell. The Barter Theater began in 1933 when Robert Porterfield brought twenty-two Broadway actors to Virginia and estab lished his theater in Abingdon. It is the only theater in the world which has accepted bar ter at the box office. The Barter Theater is the only legitimate summer theater south of the Mason-Dixon Line and is the only touring repertory company in the United States. It is spon sored by the American National Theater Academy. EFIRD'S DEPARTMENT STORE RALEIGH, N. C. “A good place to shop for those who like to save money” Exchangin' Aroun' WITH JANE LASSITER While snooping around the latest issues of school papers which collect in the Publications Room, I found to my utter sur prise and panicky conscience (caused by long, overdue, and neglected assignments) that I had spent over an hour in brows ing through the different papers. Of course, it’s impossible to re peat all the good material read, but here goes anyway. . . . For example, the Campus Comments of Mary Baldwin College had a tricky little gossip column under the heading of “Between the Dogs by Ham and Jam.” Whereas, the Guilford- ian clashes its gossip in a corner called “Adam vs. Eve,” where a close check-up is made on “who goes with who.” Upon scanning the Queens Blues, the Queens College edi tion, my eye caught this timely remark in an article titled “That’s College for You”: “Coming back to school re minds me of chewing bubble gum; every time you chew it it is a little bit easier than the last time.” Seems like a consoling bit of philosophy to me. All of which brings to my mind this little piece of poetry as found in the Maroon and Gold of Elon College: “You can always tell a Senior by her stately air in town. You can always tell a Junior by the way she gets around; You can always tell a Freshman by her vacant stare and such. You can always tell a Sopho more, but you can’t tell her much!” In conclusion, let it be said that Meredith is not alone in her battle against the all too prevalent cold germ. Proof of this statement can be found in Carolina’s Daily Tar Heel as it welcomed all students including those suffering in the current epidemic of colds ... all to the croaking strains of “Hack the Sound of Tar Heel Voices” . . .
