March 9, 1951 THE TWIG Page five FROM THE MUSIC WORLD Five majors in the business department at Meredith spent a day recently in Miller and Rhoads department store in Richmond, Virginia. Shown in the store above are, left to right, front row, Jeanette Atkins, Miss Martha Hill, and Evelyn Barden. On the back row, left to right, are Beth Boggs, Ann McRackan, Marilyn Hunt, and Mrs. Powell, training representative of the store. Retailing Students Spend Day in Richmond Department Store By Beth Boggs Amid semi-darkness and misting rain on a recent Saturday morning, five sleepy retailing students climbed “aboard” Miss Hill’s car head ing for Richmond, Virginia. Since the hour was 5:00 a. m. we had a difficult time recognizing each other— Jeanette Atkins, Evelyn Barden, Beth Boggs, Ma rilyn Hunt, and Ann McRackan, but there was a spirit of joviali ty in the air that was to contin ue all day. As guests of Miller and Rhoads department store for the day we were cordially re ceived and entertained. Mrs. Powell, training representative, took us first on an extensive tour of the store—from the basement where packages are wrapped for delivery to the specialty hat shop where hats are designed to or der, and then to the bridal shop. One of the most interesting facts that she pointed out to us was that it takes an average of $4,000.00 to outfit a bride of to day. The tour gave us an inti mate picture of “behind the scenes,” work and we were able to see how many different things enter into making a de partment store click. Another highlight of the day was the two fashion shows of AMBASSADOR Now Playing! VAN JOHNSON HOWARD KEEL JANE WYMAN — in — "THREE GUYS NAMED MIKE" On Stage in Person CARL HINNANT at the Hammond Organ Starts Sunday! JOSEPH GOTTEN JOAN FONTAINE — in — "SEPTEMBER AFFAIR" the latest in spring attire, one and the other by Miller and sponsored by Vogue Patterns Rhoads itself. During the mod eling, amid “oh’s” and “ah’s” of admiration, we each secretly planned our “ideal” spring wardrobe and picked up tips for re-styling last spring’s frocks, too. After a delicious luncheon in the tea room of the store, sev eral of us talked to the store’s assistant employement manager about permanent employment after graduation in merchandis ing, personnel, and stenographic capacities. The afternoon fiew by as each of us “shopped” Richmond, for necessities as Well as ideas, and when we drove onto highway No. 1 heading southward around 5 o’clock that evening, we were bedraggled, especially our feet, but happy and enthusiastic. We laughed all the way home as we compared notes and “mishaps.” Although we did not have to the infirmary recuperate as did last year’s group, we had a wonder ful time! By JANE SLATE Concertos, sonatos, scherzos, compositions of every type— for this is the time of the year for “butterflies” for some of the seniors in the music depart- ment, a time when the labors and efforts of the last three and one-half years are brought to gether in a mighty display of talent. I could be speaking of none other than the forthcom ing graduation recitals. The first of these recitals is to be given tonight by Marion Winston who, I am certain, will give all her listeners quite a thrill. Hope you all will be there to enjoy it. The next in line is “Brownie” Swann who will give her recital on March 16, a week from tonight. We also look forward to this pro gram with great anticipation. There are others to be heard al so, but I will be sure and keep you. posted far enough ahead of time so you can make plans to attend. Recitals during the re mainder of the year are the ones by Bettie Compton, Jean Olive, Jane Stroup, Dot Allen (B. M.) and the combined recital of the public school music majors. I personally guarantee that you will enjoy everyone of them. If there has ever been a lec ture on the campus of Meredith that no one minded being re quired t o attend, I am certain it was that of E. Power Biggs. Mr. Biggs is considered to be one of the best organists of the day and certainly proved it to our stu dent body, with no questions in mind, when he gave his two brilliant recitals on March 6. Of course I couldn’t be at both re citals but reports seem to indi cate that both programs were played with equal vigor and en thusiasm, even though one was a repeat of the other. I am sure that we all agree that we hope Mr. Biggs will see fit to visit us again in the very near future. The Associated Students Memorial Union Building is one of the favor ite on-the-campus haunts of students at the University of Washington. That’s because the Union Building is a friendly place, always full of the busy atmosphere of college life. There is always plenty of ice- cold Coca-Cola, too. For here, as in university gathering spots every where—Coke belongs. Ask for it either way ... both trade-marks mean the same thing.

There is no darkness deep enough to hide for long the spirit of its people. This is so because we have made it so. Almost alone of all nations, we have held fast to our faith that every tomorrow holds the promise of a better life. In America’s long, hard march to greatness, its trials have brought it strength. From our wars we have won our freedoms. Panics have given way to serenity. Depressions have been followed by pros perity. From every night has come a dawn. Now again the world is filled with fear and gloom. Once more, these are “times that try men’s souls.” But let us not dread the dark. Let Americans keep alive their abiding faith in God, in our own tomorrow and in ourselves. That faith will be a tower of strength to the free world as it seeks to build a future. • "MEET CORLISS ARCHER" for delightful comedy, Sundays—CBS—9 P. M., Eastern Time.
