Pre-Rush Week activities came
to a close on Saturday night,
October 1, with the Astro party.
This party was a new phase of
the Astro activity and took the
place of the Astro wedding
which has been presented in
other years.
Astro Hall was recreated into
a Bohemian restaurant for the
occasion. The menu was written
in French, and very elaborate
meals of doughnuts and coffee
were served to the guests as they
sat around the room and enjoyed
the candlelight and program.
Dr. Park played her violin for
the customers accompanied by
“Madame” Charlotte Bowman
at the piano. “Mademoiselle”
Diane Newton read French
poetry in a most expressive man
ner and “Mademoiselle” Le-
Grace Gupton did an entrancing
dance. “Madame” Mimi Stacy
sang a torch song and “Made
moiselle” Beverly Batchelor,
dressed as an “apache,” also
sang. The entertainment in
cluded a skit by the unconquer
able “Mademoiselles” Joyner
and Hedgepeth.
A large number of Meredith
alumnae attended the Founder’s
Day exercises here last Tuesday,
September 27, and each class
from 1902 to 1949 was repre
sented by at least one member
at the Fiftieth Anniversary of
the college.
Two Alumnae
Among the many alumnae
present, however, the presence
of two was especially significant.
Dorothy Vann, daughter of the
late Dr. R. T. Vann, Meredith’s
second president, attended the
exercises. Dr. Vann is a mem
ber of the staff of St. Elizabeth’s
Hospital in Washington, D. C.
Also here was Miss Ann Eliza
Brewer, daughter of the late
Dr. Charles E. Brewer, Mere
dith’s third president. She is
now working in the Modern
Language Department of Bre-
nau College in Gainesville, Ga.
Workshop
The sixteenth annual Mere
dith Alumnae Workshop met on
September 26, 1949, in order to
make plans for special activities
for the coming year. The Work
shop was purposely scheduled
for September 26 this year to
enable the alumnae to be pres
ent for the Founder’s Day exer
cises and the dedication of the
new auditorium on September
27.
Mrs. Virginia Branch Pope,
president of the Alumnae Asso
ciation, presided over the gen
eral meeting of the workshop,
after which the following work
shop groups met for specialized
planning: Chapter Representa
tives, led by Mrs. Maude Davis
Bunn; Class Representatives,
led by Mrs. Anne Simms Has
kins; Loyalty Fund Chairmen,
by Mrs. Margaret Craig Martin;
and Reunion Class Chairmen,
by Mrs. Marguerite Mason Wil
kins.
Following the workshop. Pres
ident Carlyle Campbell de
livered the address of the day.
Chapter Meetings
Dr. Lillian Parker Wallace
spoke to the Durham Chapter
of Meredith Alumnae on Sep
tember 1, and Dr. Alice Keith
spoke to the same chapter on
Saturday, October 1. Mrs. Jane
Watkins Sullivan, former Phi
president, is president of the
Durham chapter.
Drs. Yarbrough and Rose
Attend Tea
Dr. Mary Yarbrough and Dr.
Norma Rose of the college
faculty attended a tea given
by the Elizabeth City Alumnae
Chapter on October 1, for junior
and senior girls in high school.
Miss Yarbrough presented a
movie and Miss Rose gave the
address of the afternoon.
Alumnae Take Out
‘‘Seat Insurance”
Have you taken out your “seat
insurance”? There are only a
limited number of policies; and
the Meredith alumnae at the last
commencement, anticipating the
fact that seats would be needed
in the new auditorium, began
a campaign for this “seat insur
ance” at that time. Their ban
ner flown in the rotunda read,
“Have You Reserved Your Seats
—$5.00 Up,” and they collected
one hundred and twenty dollars
to be used to buy seats.
During the summer, letters
were sent out to each alumna
soliciting payment for seats, and
out of the 1,044 for sale, 650
have been “insured” and “re
served” by alumnae. Still not
satisfled, individual alumna,
classes, and chairmen are putting
forth a special effort to sell all
of the seats.
Students now at Meredith
may be interested to know that
many of these alumnae, in
terested in the welfare of their
daughters, are reserving seats
for their future use. Mrs. Mar
guerite Mason Wilkins sent with
her check for fifty dollars a re
quest for “seats for the whole
family” and Mrs. Sarah Bark-
well Abbot of Elizabeth City,
along with her check for twenty-
five dollars, asked for “one for
each of my two daughters”—
prospective Meredith students.
