Page fotir THE TWIG October 6, 1950 ^ / 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 (Continued on page five) FRESHMEN ELECT (Continued from page one) 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. fall's two favorite fabrics . . .
