Varsity, Freshman Hockey Stick JVinner Named
AWARD NIGHT IS
OBSERVED HERE
By JOANNE LaRUE
The college hockey season was
brought to a climax last
Wednesday night by the pre
sentation of the freshman
hockey stick. The lucky winner,
Jane Williamson, came out right
on top as our most valuable
freshman hockey player. She
deserves everyone’s heartiest
congratulations! The competi
tion this year was the strongest
it has been in several years,
and no one was able to predict
the winner.
The freshmen have shown
some real sportsmanship during
this hockey season! These play
ers were; Rebecca McRacken,
Catherine McRacken, Miriam
Allen, Ruth Champion, “Salty”
Salter, Sylvia Deans, Bonny
Morgan, Betty. Ann Swindell,
Mary Ruth Wilcox, Ann Lowell,
Peggy Madry, Rusty Morrison,
Charleen Swanzey, Jane Wil
liamson, and Jean Pace.
As long as we are taking a
look at this year’s freshman
players, let’s see who our play
ers were from the other three
classes. “You don’t quit playing
because you grow old. You grow
old because you quit playing.”
Anyway, to get back on the
subject, the sophomore class was
well represented. These hockey
players were; Joyce Covington,
Bess Francis, Kitten James,
Nancy House, Sarah Caudle,
Kitty Barbehenn, Jean Dula,
Mary Ruth Godfrey, and Shirley
Cliatt.
Now, the junior class was
very low in number, but high in
quality. Its players were Sally
Massey and Sue Fitzgerald. The
senior class was in just about
the same situation. Its three
players were Faye Nichols,
Bettie Yates, and Hope Hodges.
The varsity team was chosen
from these players. It isn’t
j definite yet, but our varsity
team may play some games
with other schools.
The Phi-Astro hockey game,
which was played October 27 at
5; 00 p.m., came out with the
Phis in the lead by one goal.
The credit for the two goals,
made by the Phis, goes to
Rebecca McRacken and Faye
Nichols. The Astros made one
goal. It was a good game, and
although the crowd was rela
tively small, there was plenty of
spirit throughout.

“Home Again” is Theme of Class of ’50
Alumnae Returning for Founders’ Day
By CAROLYN COVINGTON
The first seventeen years of
my life were spent looking
forward to going to college. The
four years of college saw me
studying a little and counting
days until open weekend and
summer vacations a lot, except
the time (s) (!) that I didn’t
make the eligibility fist and had
to go to summer school. Then
came graduation, getting a job,
and now the facing of something
a philosophy professor would
call reality in this “cold, cruel,
world.”
What now? What is there to
look forward to, to await
eagerly? You guessed it—com
ing back to Meredith, of course!
Now at least 99 and 44/100
per cent of you present “angels”
will say, “taint so, McGee; no
body misses Meredith that
much!” But we do; you just
wait! ’
All of us 1950 alumnae in
Raleigh spend much of our time
thinking up an occasion for our
presence to grace Johnson Hall,
et cetera, “for the once again.”
Right now, we in Raleigh, and
everywhere else too, are pretty
happy about the whole situation.
We’ve got a really good reason
to go “home” now; Palio and
Founders’ Day are coming.
Why, you’d think November 10
was the biggest day of the year
(maybe it is, at that!) if you
could hear what the Class of ’50
has to say about it.
Of course things will be a

little different this year. We
won’t be competing in Palio,
and I’m not quite sure how we’ll
feel when we have to sit back
and watch the ingenuity of all
you students, as our own bud
ding geniuses have to resign
themselves to “what was, is, and
could have been.” Then, too, not
having Stunt after Palio is a
new experiment which, we hope,
will work perfectly and prevent
so many saggy shoulders, baggy
eges, and “haggy” expressions.
Luck to you all!
Surely, we are looking for
ward to the outcome of the great
day next Friday, to the class
reunion, to the memories of
Palios and Founders’ Days of the
past, to the renewing of old
acquaintances; but most of all, I
think, we’re eagerly awaiting
that moment when we can come
up the drive and say “Hi,
Meredith, we’re home!”

What is the first thing you
think of when you jump out of
bed each morning? The student
who is taking creative rhythms
would probably say, “Leap, one-
two- three! Jump to class, one-
two- three!” If these words do
not sound familiar you are not
living with a student who is
taking creative rhythms. If, on
the other hand, you are smiling
knowingly, then you know that
the creative rhythms students at
Meredith have begun working
on their dances.
It all began when fifty-one
students signed up to take
creative rhythms, a dancing
course, taught by Miss Carey.
First, they learned many basic
steps; then, they were on their
own to put individual expres
sion into these basic steps, thus
composing a dance. You can
imagine how interesting it is to
watch each girl perform her own
dance. It is a creation of her own
—actually, a part of herself.
That is not all of the story.
Now, the students are working
on dances to be presented in the
Creative Rhythms Revue which
will take place the latter part
of the semester. Miss Carey is
very enthusiastic about her
dancers this year. She feels that
they are a very cooperative
group of girls—along with
being unusually good dancers.
Exciting plans are being made
for this Creative Rhythms
Revue. Almost every kind of
dance imaginable will be in
cluded in it. Until we see our
classmates perform, let us wish
them and Miss Carey continued
success in their preparations!
have been coming and going
quite a bit this year. There were
more horses leaving than com
ing in, but many of the old
faithfuls are still there carrying
girls around the ring.
Three horses came in from
Sullins College in Marion, Vir
ginia; Roxy, a five-gaited chest
nut mare; Bird, who is in foal to
bring a colt; and Small Town
Girl. Another good horse
brought in on October 25, Blaze
—so named because of a white
streak down her face, not her
speed—is nice for the beginner.
The beginners like Bonny Babe,
another walking horse.
One more which is not ridden
but boarding is Caroline, a
chestnut horse seen running in
the back pasture. To replace Top
Hat of last year, Jo Jean came
back. Grey Stone and Grey
Granite left the Meredith stables
because of a wrenched shoulder
and caped elbow. Alabama and
