STUDENT LEAGUE OF
WOMEN VOTERS
Jane Middleton, President
Lorene Adams, Reporter
Since election year isn’t very
far off, the Student League of
Women Voters chose as the topic
for discussion at the last meeting
the workings of the presidential
election. Becky Ballentine told
the group about party conven
tions and the nomination of the
presidential candidate. Fran
Thompson described the cam
paign for election and pointed
out some of the political strate
gy used by the candidates. Lefty
Pugh talked about the actual
election and showed what hap
pened in case of a tie and how
the votes were cast.
At the next meeting, the club
members are going to discuss
some of the possible presidential
candidates. The programs
throughout the year will be de
signed to aid the members in
better understanding the govern
mental system so that they
might take a more intelligent
part in local, state, and national
affairs.
HOME ECONOMICS CLUB
Iva Hurst, President
Rosemary Dean, Reporter
The members of the Home
Economics Club have been ac
tively participating in club work
recently. The president, Iva
Hurst, has just been to a meeting
of Province 3 of the College De
partment of the American Home
Economics Association in
Greenville, S. C. The emphasis
of the meeting was the organiza
tion of better clubs. Representa
tives were present from North
Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Georgia, and Alabama.
Club members have been pre
paring Christmas boxes to send
through the World Festival As
sociation to underprivileged
teen-agers and children in Eu
rope. This project is sponsored
by Student Home Economics
Clubs of America. Anyone who
passed the Home Economics de
partment Wednesday afternoon
probably saw articles of cloth
ing such as socks, gloves, toys,
and candy being packed in six
boxes in swirls of tissue paper
and ribbon. Marianna Mizelle,
who is chairman of the commit
tee, now has the boxes ready to
be shipped.
SOCIOLOGY CLUB
Katherine Wyatt, President
Barbara Francis, Reporter
The Sociology Club held its
first meeting of the year in the
Hut on October 21. The Presi
dent, Katherine Wyatt, intro
duced the members of the fac
ulty of the Sociology Depart
ment and gave a special welcome
to the head of the Department,
Dr. Clyde Parker. Dr. Parker
responded with a brief talk in
which he expressed his delight
in the fact that there were two
hundred and fifty-five students
in the Sociology Department.
The program consisted of
some of the students’ telling
about their summer experiences.
Lois Harmon began the program
by showing pictures and telling
about her California trip, which
included crossing the flooded
Mississippi River and spending
the night in a jail (on her own
accord).
Nell Hunter spoke about her
interesting Bible School work
with the Mexicans. Elizabeth
Taylor and Ronnie Holloman
showed pictures of summer
school at Carolina. Mildred
Hoyle was a counselor for the
Girl Scouts at Crabtree Creek
with many pleasant experiences
(that is if you like hiking, eating
your own cooking, and having
little sleep.)

OAK LEAVES, 1904-1947
(Continued from page two)
“Be sure your shirt-waist is
sufficiently bloused in order to
accommodate cribbed biscuits,
apples and cake.”
In 1905 the second Oak Leaves
appeared and was very like its
older brother in content, but
with a few additions. A “want
ad, and don’t want ad” column
was published in which the cut
system was offered for sale by
the faculty.
The pages of the Oak Leaves
are less yellowed as the years
pass, and the styles and humor
and ideas about what a college
annual should be changed slight
ly with each passing year. The
student body grew larger, and
more photographs took the place
of sketches, jokes, stories, and
histories. Each year the Oak
Leaves became a better annual
for the students.
■ The editors of Oak Leaves of
1904 certainly succeeded in ac
complishing the goal which they
set in their purpose for prepar
ing a college annual as their
monument to the school. Surely
the girls at Meredith today are
glad that the Class of 1904 plant
ed what has grown into the Oak
Leaves, our worthy college an
nual.
