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.

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”?

ment begins next week also! The

LITTLE THEATRE PLANS
YEAR'S ACTIVITIES
Among the activities planned
by the Meredith Little Theater
for the coming year is the spon
sorship of a fall production.
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.

STATE BOYS
MAKE A PRISON
OF PHI HALL
On Tuesday night, Oct. 7, the
State College B. S. U. enter
tained the new State students
and Meredith girls at a party
held in Phi Hall here. 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.

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.

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” . . .
