THIRTY-ONE STUDENTS
GO OUT FOR HOCKEY
Come one, come all! Yes, let’s
go everybody—let’s get into the
swing of that terrific game of
hockey. Right now is the mo
ment for you to throw back your
shoulders, grab a hockey stick,
and rush on out to the field for
instructions in playing hockey.
Maybe you aren’t exactly sure
who is qualified to participate in
this game. Well, read on, be
cause hockey season is open to
everyone. In fact, the Athletic
Association will present a beauti
ful hockey stick to the most out
standing freshman player of the
season. This event will take
place on November 1, 1950.
Anyone who attends hockey
practices receives points toward
becoming a member of the Mon
ogram Club. These practices are
to teach you all the tricks of
playing hockey, and the various
teams are selected from this
group. When are practices? They
are every Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, and Friday at 5 p.m.
sharp.
The teams which will grow
out of this group are: the class
teams, the Astro team, the Phi
team, and the varsity team.
Nancy House, our hockey man
ager, says that thirty-one stu
dents, of whom nineteen are
new students, have begun prac
tices. If you have not yet thrown
your name in the pot, try it out
at next practice and you will see
how much fun it is—that’s for
sure! _

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION APPROVES
CALENDAR OF EVENTS FOR YEAR
The Athletic Association has
approved its official calendar of
events for the coming year.
These dates have been scheduled
after giving careful attention to
all other college events of the
season; it is hoped that the stu
dents will also approve this
choice of times.
The annual Corn Huskin’ Bee
has been set for October 20, only
two weeks from today. All new
students should be warned to
dust off their sunbonnets and
bandanas for this great event,
for square dancing and authentic
costumes are in style. If you are
proficient at the arts of hog-call-
ing, chicken-calling, and shuck
ing corn, make yourself known
to your class president right
away, for your artistry will
come in handy—and you’ll help
your class to win.

FOLK DAXCE CLUB
SCHEDULES EVENTS
Skipping, stamping, whirling,
and hopping—what do those
words remind you of? Dancing?
Well, you are absolutely right.
One of our favorite organiza
tions, the Folk Dance Club, has
already begun working on its
programs for the year. Barbara
Pearson, the manager, has given
us some of the plans they have
made.
Right now, the Folk Dance
Club is working on the perform
ance they will give at the Corn
Huskin’ Bee on October 20. Fol
lowing that, the club will be
busy preparing dancing pro
grams of different countries
The Meredith International
Relations Club held its first
meeting of the 1950-’51 school
year on September 21 in the Hut.
Betty Penny, president, intro
duced to the new members and
guests Dr. Lillian Parker Wal
lace, sponsor; Margot Grimes,
vice-president; Martha Holland,
secretary-treasurer; and Billie
Smith, program chairman.
After the officers had been in
troduced, Betty outlined the
plans of the club for the coming
year. One of the high spots of
the year will be a program
which will include members of
the Cosmopolitan Club of North
Carolina State College, plus the
foreign and territorial students
and faculty of Meredith. Definite
plans for the program have not
yet been completed, but the
members of I. R. C. are eagerly
looking forward to it.
An election was held after the
routine business was finished.
Virginia Waldrop, Lynette Ad
cock, and Francene King were
elected to the offices of librarian,
social chairman, and publicity
chairman, respectively.
The speaker for the evening
was a man familiar to all who
attended the meeting—Mr. Wes
ley H. Wallace, who presented a
very thought-provoking discus
sion on the Far East and its cur
rent problems. Mr. Wallace, son
of Dr. Lillian Parker Wallace, of
the Meredith history depart
ment, can easily be considered
an authority on the Far East,
since he has made his home in
the Philippine Islands for the
last several years. During the re
cent World War, Mr. Wallace
served on General McArthur’s
special staff, and, after the war,
was appointed general manager
of the Manilla Broadcasting
Company. He has been in the
United States since the spring of
1950.
Lemonade and cookies were
served during the question-and-
answer period following Mr.
Wallace’s talk, after which the
meeting was adjourned.
which are of current interest to
the world. By the way, they are
going to try doing oriental num
bers for the first time. It sounds
like a lot of good entertainment,
doesn’t it?
Throughout the year, the Folk
Dance Club will be giving us
programs in chapel and at vari
ous school functions. Their own
spring concert will take place
April 7, 1951. Don’t forget that
date, because you will surely en
joy seeing the concert.
