From One Who Knows
Faculty Convenes
In Weekly Session
The faculty held the first busi
ness meeting of the year at the
new time, 1:30 on Friday after
noon, October 10. This plan was
adopted by the faculty in its
April meeting and calls for a
scheduled hour, 1:30 to 2:30,
each Friday for faculty meet
ings, Academic Council meet
ings, student and faculty com
mittee meetings. In order that
there will be no conflicts, the aft
ernoon schedule of classes and
laboratory sections begins at
2:30 on Friday afternoon.
The Academic Council will
hold its first regularly sched
uled meeting on Friday, October
17, at 1:30 p.m. Thereafter, the
Council will meet on the third
Friday of each month.
Aside from her usual run-of-
the-mill campus activity, art
major Betty Hefner likes to set
tle down with anything from
the oldest issue of House Beau
tiful to the latest copy of The
American Home, just so long as
the subject of houses is involved.
In addition to house plans, Bet
ty collects articles on different
types of furniture and furniture
arrangement, color schemes, the
reconverting of old pieces, deco
ration, and household repairs.
She even has one article on
“How to Paint Screens.” (Note:
Seems like Betty is at least go
ing to have a neat little vine-
covered cottage. . . .)
All of this valuable informa
tion Betty has arranged in a very
attractive notebook which she
will show you at the slightest
provocation. Fact is, she loves
to drag it out and minutely ex
plain each little detail to any
one who will listen.
Out of her love for houses Bet
ty has found an interesting and
enjoyable hobby which will sure
ly be of great help to her in plan
ning her own home some day.
And to those of you who are
planning dream castles, I sug
gest that you see Betty for help
ful home hints.—J. L.

“Hi! How’re Y’all!” was the
keynote of the gay get-together
the old Day Students staged for
the new girls on Friday, Octo
ber 3, at one o’clock in the Mere
dith Hut. Highlighting the ac
tivities after lunch was a pro
gram planned by Shirley Hur-
witz. Day Student social chair
man, to bring out the heretofore
unsuspected talents of both old
and new girls. First on the pro
gram, Marie Taylor played such
hits as “Smoke Gets in Your
Eyes” to set the mood for Nell
Hunter and Mary Evelyn West,
who played their interpretation
of “The Moonlight Sonata”
(which for the first few measures
was beautifully Beethoven and
the rest corny Hunter-West).
Other “artists” were Dot Helms,
with several lively hill billy ren
ditions, including “Temptation”;
Gwen Woodard, accompanied by
Marie Taylor, with the ever
popular “As Time Goes By”; and
Catherine Mims, with her ver
sion of what happens to a poor
little innocent girl who has four
years at Meredith. Virginia
Campbell concluded the social
hour with several popular selec
tions on the piano.

The Meredith Art Department
has sponsored this year two
exhibits by members of the
faculty. In the gallery now is
the work of Mr. Douglas W.
Reynolds, head of the Art De
partment. In the words of the
preface to his exhibit, Mr. Reyn
olds expresses his general pur
pose and ideas. He says, “Good
art should not require verbal or
written explanation, but in the
art-ignorant world of today, it
may perhaps be of help. I have
just spent a summer in painting
made possible by the grant of an
art study fund generously given
me by Meredith College officials.
I feel it is only fair, in presenting
this exhibition of summer work,
to make it useful and interesting
to Meredith students in every
way that I can. In the paragraph
placed beneath all the pictures
painted this summer, the meth
ods and materials employed, as
well as the artistical reasons the
picture was painted, and a criti
cal opinion as objective as possi
ble, are given.” Among the
written opinions put in the bal
lot box was the following: “It is
a strange and intriguing show.
Some of the things have real
power of a kind that I don’t
know in any other painter. The
talk on the cards is an experi
mental art in itself.”
Dr. Lillian Parker Wallace
exhibited some of her work dur
ing the first two weeks of this
school year. Most of the work
exhibited consisted of natural
istic landscapes done in water
colors. There were several pen
and ink drawings and pencil
sketches. All of her work is
realistic and precise in detail.
Mary Beth Thomas has won
first prize at the N. C. State
Fair Exhibition for a self-por
trait done in oil. Meredith Cash
won second prize for an oil
painting. Other entrants were
Jean Bradley, Ida Wells, and
Doris Johnson. It is interesting
to note that officials of a Na
tional Art Exhibition in Ashe
ville chose some of the work of
Mary Beth for display there last
summer.
