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

"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!

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.

THE NIGHT
IS NOT FOREVER
In America, no night can last forever.
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.
