BEHIND THE FOOTLIGHTS
By MICKY BOWEN
I feel so sorry for people who
have no “outside interests, or,
as we at Meredith like to ex
press it, “extracurricular activi
ties.” They must feel horribly
Jeft out when they wander un
intentionally into a group of
students telling each other how
much they have to do, and how
many of the next day’s lessons
they’ve yet to cover. Of course,
there are other pleasures to be
gained from expending every
ounce of strength on .your
favorite pastime, but they are
nothing when compared to the
enormous self-satisfaction in
saying, “Listen, that’s nothing.
Let me tell you what I’ve got to
do!’,’
Since I consider the oppor
tunity for joining extracurricu
lar activities a great need on the
campus, let me recommend
highly the Little Theatre (Well,
maybe I am prejudiced a little,
but just ask anyone who knows)
as a student’s most impressive
calendar for over-work. We
intend to lure in unsuspecting
souls and use them to build
scenery and to create plays and,
incidentally, to put Meredith on
the map. Dramatically speaking,
that is.
The Little Theatre is am
bitiously planning six major
productions—yes, ambitious is
the word to use at this point.
There will be, according to
schedule, the annual fall and
spring productions, a Christmas
pageant, and a production each
semester by the members of the
speech class. We’ve also sched
uled a production in the early
spring to result in a trip to
Chapel Hill for the' Spring
Drama Festival. Participation in
this state-wide contest is a
^^Mid-Century Milestones'' is Theme
For Year of Home Economics Club
“Home Economics in Action”
was the theme of the program
of the first home economics club
meeting Thursday night, Octo
ber 5, at the Hut. The new and
old home economics students
were welcomed by the president,
Sylvia Currin; then she intro
duced the club officers; Miss
Ellen Brewer, and Miss Jennie
Hanyen as the club advisers.
After business was discussed,
Jamie Perry, vice-president, an
nounced the general theme of
programs for the year as “Mid-
Century Milestones” and dis
tributed the attractive program
booklets. As a part of the reports
on summer work done by old
students, Betsy Goldston and
Sylvia Currin explained their
work in dietetics at Rex Hos
pital this summer. Jerry Norton
told how she put home econom
ics into practice at home.
Nell Rankin then gave a vivid
report of her attendance at the

pastime; music rates second.
Georgia’s Betty Edwards saw
Good Housekeeping’s listing of
the fifty best small colleges and
spotted Meredith. After talking
to the registrar, Mrs. Marsh, in
Savannah, Betty decided that,
even though it was far from
home, Meredith was the college
she wished to attend.
The seventeen-year-old nomi
nee attended a private school
and graduated with a diploma in
the classical course. She is
especially interested in church
work.
Meredith custom being revived
this year, with a few innova
tions. The event will be spon
sored and the plays produced by
the Little Theatre, representing
the best on our campus in
writing, as well as acting. With
that kind of combination, as the
saying goes, how can we lose?
The qualifications for mem
bership in the groups will be
changed slightly to include more
members. This alteration will be
made in the near future, because
we will need as many blossom
ing geniuses as we can get in
every field of theatre work to
carry out our program for the
year. Can you drive a nail, little
girl? Then the Little Theatre
needs your special talent.
Have you met Miss Mayes,
the new dramatics and speech
instructor here? As you may
have guessed, she also sponsors
the Little Theatre, and I for one
am sure that she is going to be
as valuable an asset to our
campus as the new auditorum.
We meet on the first Tuesday
of every month in the official
Little "Theatre room on third
floor Jones, from seven to eight.
These meetings are open to
everyone, and the student body
is not only invited—they are
urged to come. We especially
welcome all the new students on
campus, and will be looking for
you on next Tuesday night.
