BEHIND THE FOOTLIGHTS By MICKY BOWEN 9 There’s one truth about his- tronic activities at Meredith which is exceptional—the fact that one is never bored by the repetition of the same old faces at each endeavor. Everybody gets into the act, and does it well, too. The freshmen (of whom we are always proud) certainly put on a fine show for the Big Sisters at the banquet last week-end, even the bits that were unrehearsed! The fine performance in chapel not long ago, staged by the ever-busy play production class, will be doubled tonight on Society Night, when they will give us two more one-act plays. New B.S.U.

What will we do out here without them?” “Well, I guess somebody will have to go to the nearest house, only one- half mile away, to get some.” This incident is typical of the minor catastrophes that Dr. Johnson has had to cope with since she has been giving an nual picnics for the girls in her elective English classes. When this particular accident occurred, Meredith was in the center of town. Each spring saw Dr. Johnson and her crew jog ging out to Lassiter’s Mill in one of Raleigh’s streetcars. The big basket she carried was always crammed with edibles. When Meredith was moved to its present site, the grove was taken over for these picnics. A grill over a roaring fire was won derful for cooking. Of course, we are overlooking the time when the grill collapsed and sent gallons of coffee streaming over sputtering charcoals. Since the chimney has been built, however, the English classes have picnicked there. The menu is always hamburgers, (some students have been known to eat four) coffee, lettuce and tomatoes, with onions, pickles, and all the trimmings. To avoid meat rationing one year. Dr. Johnson moved the picnic time up to January. This time they had to go to the Hut to keep from being frozen. All these get-togethers are in formal, each girl serving her self. Now, along with her girls, the English faculty attend. Dillard's Beauty Shop By JANE SLATE Time marches on, and the music world at Meredith Col lege is likewise not dragging be hind. The forthcoming weeks are “brimming” over with music activities, and believe me they’re top-notch programs which none of us can afford to miss. Well, let me see—Heavens! I hardly know where to start, much less give you an insight into the programs. But why bother with the programs, ’cause you see (or I should say hear) that for yourself at the perform ances. Before I tell you of future events, I should like to call at tention to the beautiful recital Addie Elliot gave on the 28th of April. I might add that, although there is only one voice major in the senior class, she has really made up for the lack of the others. A rousing cheer for Addie! Not to forget the faculty, which is not letting its students get ahead of it. I’d like to men tion the lovely organ concert of Miss Ruth Woodman on the 30th of April—a most pleasant ending for the month of April. A forthcoming recital is to be presented by Rose Stewart on the 13th of May, and for anyone that loves piano music I strongly advise you not to miss it. I’d like to call special attention to the piano concerto (Mendelssohn, G Minor Concerto) that she and Mr. Pratt will perform. Of great interest for future programs are the post-graduate recitals to be given by Nancy Hall and “Lib” Zulalian on the 17th and 18th of May, respec tively.
