THE TWIG
Fetruaiy 25, 1949
Sports o/ the
By Sue Page
“In the Spring a young man’s©"
fancy lightly turns to the
thoughts that a girl has had all
Winter long” (apologies to Ten
nyson ).
I owe an apology to the
weather also. Winter seems to be
busy somewhere else. I heard a
girl singing. “It might as well
be Spring” just the other day—
to which I added Amen. Sports
should be popular now because
of the weather. Softball, soccer,
and hockey are great fun and
wonderful exercise. For that
glow of health, there’s nothing
like a good swift set of tennis.
“Get your lines straight, nock
your arrows, pull that string
back to your nose, not your chin
—now let it go and count
three—” Of course everyone
knows who is speaking and what
she is talking about. If you had
been out on Valentine’s Day you
would have thought Meredith
was taking the holiday literally.
A line of girls with drawn bows
seemed intent on hitting some
thing. Cupids a la Meredith
learning how to use the bow
and arrow. Now I can’t promise
that you will learn to hit the
bull’s eye of that favored State
College man just because you
are taking archery, but maybe
you will get a good idea of aim!
So even if you aren’t in a class,
come on out anyway and make
use of the equipment. Who
knows, maybe we will turn out
a William Tell. Be careful
though, because Miss Cunning
ham has promised an “F” to
anyone who shoots anyone else.
The girls who have been going
out to swim in St. Mary’s swirn-
ming pool are very enthusiastic
over it. All of this warm weather
makes me yearn for the ol’
swimming hole. How ’bout you?!
Some girls use make-up in
telligently, and then some girls
just use it. (Boston University
News).
Elections For
Officers Begun
KAPPA NU SIGMA TAPS MEMBERS
Meredith’s long seige of school
elections began February 24
when the student body went to
the polls to vote for the four
major campus leaders for next
year—the student government
president, the B. S. U. president,
the A. A. president, and the
president of the day students.
The elections committee is not
sure when these weekly elec
tions will be over, but it does
realize that they will have to be
over by April since the handbook
for next year goes to press then.
Elsie Corbett heads the elec
tion committee this year as
general chairman. Peggy Ben-
bow is registrar, and Marilyn
Mills and Marjorie Joyner are
the judges; Marianna Worth is
the senior judge; Elizabeth

Jane Hedgepeth, the sophomore
judge; and Barbara Cox, the
freshman judge.

SPEAKER'S TOPIC
THEATRE GOING
A lecture was presented by
Mr. Walter Prichard Eaton on
February 4, under the sponsor
ship of the Colton English Club
and the Little Theatre. Mr.
Eaton is a noted drama critic,
playwrite, and poet; at the
present time, he is visiting
lecturer at the University of
North Carolina.
Mr. Eaton lectured, in an in
formal manner on “Sixty Years
of Theatre Going.” He began
with his first memory of the
theatre which he got at the
Boston Museum when he was
about five years old. From that
point he carried his audience
with him through his vast store
house of memories about the
theatre. He introduced many of
the great stars he had known. He
ended the lecture by saying that
he had lived through the pre-
realistic period into the realistic
period and he hopes he can see
what will follow in the post-
realistic world that is bound to
come soon, for he says it should
be very interesting.

in one language is priceless.
