Four Classes Submit Stunt Scripts for Approval
JUDGES SELECTED
FOR COMPETITION
Presidents of the four college
classes must meet a deadline
this weekend for stunt scripts,
since their respective script
committees must ready their
copies of class stunts for ap
proval immediately. Judges
have also been selected by each
class, to select the winning skit
on Stunt Night, scheduled for
March 10.
The A. A. Board, which spon
sors Stunt Night, has selected as
chief judge Miss Evelyn Straug-
han of Raleigh. The seniors
chose Mrs. Elizabeth Shelton
Smith, also of Raleigh; the jun
iors, Miss Catherine Wyatt, Ra
leigh; the sophomores, Mrs.
June Stallings, Sanford; the
freshmen have not yet made
their choice.
To assure a greater under
standing of Stunt Night by the
judges, the Athletic Board this
year required each class to se
lect as judge an alumna of
Meredith who had graduated
before the present senior class
entered.
This year is the first in which
Stunt Night has been given on
a separate date from Palio;
changes in the schedule were
voted last fall in order to permit
more class participation in each
event.
Practices will get underway
next week for Stunt; all four
presentations must be the orig
inal work of students.

University of Nebraska is Hermie’s
“Inn” because it is a cheerful place
