DORMITORIES ON CAMPUS BEGIN PLAY
OF FOUR INDIVIDUAL SPORTS CONTESTS
Athletic tournaments within
the four dormitories are now
well underway. Sponsored by
the Athletic Association, the
tournaments are a new feature
on the Meredith campus this
semester.
Students from each of the
dormitories are competing in the
four separate tournaments
which are tennis, ping-pong,
archery, and badminton. Stu
dent participation in the con
tests is fairly good. Stringfield
is leading in the number of par
ticipants with a total of twenty-
nine entries, and Vann is second
with nineteen.
First, posters were put up in
each dormitory on which anyone
who wished to enter any or all
of the tournaments could sign
by April 21. Then a schedule
was arranged which provides
for an elimination tournament
within each dorm for both
singles and doubles in tennis,
badminton, and ping-pong. The
contests are being played off in
the contestants’ spare time and
the winners and scores recorded.
Girls taking part in the arch
ery tournament will record their
individual scores after shooting
the required number of arrows,
and the winner from each dormi
tory will be the girl with the
highest score. *
A deadline for the tourna
ments within the dormitories
will probably be set for the last
part of May. Tentative plans at
present are to set aside one
Saturday afternoofi for the finals
of all the tournaments to be
played. At that time the win
ners from each dorm will com
pete for the title of champion
of the four sports.

quirements of the fraternity.
The new members were awarded
the blue and gold colors of Alpha
Psi by Diane Newton, the Presi
dent of the chapter.
A formal initiation, in which
these girls will become fully
recognized members of the cast,
will be held within the next
two weeks. Following the initia
tion, the cast will elect officers
for next year.

STIFF MUSCLES IS
PLAY-DAY RESULTS
By Ruth Ann Simmons
Stiff and aching muscles of
both faculty and students are
back to normal by now after a
strenuous and successful play-
day, over which Mr. Simmons
and Hope Hodges reigned as
duke and duchess. It was indeed
a successful day for the fresh
men of Stringfield for they won
the prized trophy, a tin cup tied
with maroon and white stream
ers.
The two main events of the
day, the faculty-student volley
ball and softball games, were
split. The faculty won the
volleyball game by a score of
28-20 while the students
trounced the faculty 15-1 in
softball.
After a picnic supper on the
lawn, the races were run and a
songfest was held with each
dorm singing their original song.
Then the announcement of the
winner was made, and the tired
but happy participants headed
homeward to await another
play-day.
Gert: What shall I do? Bob
has been under water for twenty
minutes.
Mert: Let’s go home. I
wouldn’t wait any longer for
any man.

Well, although it seems im
possible, the curtain has come
down on the last production of
Meredith’s Little Theater, “The
Silver Chord.” From all reports
the play was well received;
we’ve even heard that the tears
of the actors were matched by
those of the audience.
Much of the necessary back-
stage work was eliminated in
this production because the set
was already made. There were,
however, a thousand things to
be done, and in spite of the fact
that some passed out along the
way, everything was finished by
Wednesday before production on
Thursday. The furniture was by
courtesy of Sears’ of Cameron
Village, and those girls who
were in charge of it spent sev
eral days in terror, lest someone
injure the beautiful finish.
There were only four female
roles in the play, three of which
were major roles and played by
seniors. Much of the backstage
work was also done by seniors.
The entire Little Theater finds
a lump in its throat when re
minded that these girls will
leave us this year. Seniors, you
hf'
By Betsy Canaday
really did a wonderful job, and
you will certainly be missed. To
Mickey Bowen, our president,
we wish to add a special word
of gratitude for what she did for
the organization this year.
Thanks, madam president, and
good luck.
The Raleigh Little Theater did
a play last week called the
“Voice of The Turtle” by John
van Druten. Perhaps the most
memorable feature of the show
was Barbara Marshall, a 1950
graduate of Meredith College,
who starred in the role of Sally.
The playbill gave her credit for
her part in “Light Up the Sky”
and “The Detective Story,” but
Meredith students will remem
ber her as an art major.
The Meredith Little Theater
extends to all the students an
invitation to join us in our work
next year. There is truly a place
for each of you. One doesn’t
have to be an actress to find
work with us. Anyone with
talents along the lines of carpen
try, lighting, make-up, or just
plain “borrowing” is assured of
a place. We need you and be
lieve you will have fun with us.
