STUDENTS EXPRESS DESIRE

idea to do something with the
buildings we already have be
fore donating anything new. To
re-decorate Johnson Hall would
make a wonderful gift according
to Jean Miller. Along the same
line. Dot Prickett said, “I’d re
decorate and re-juvenate all the
dorm parlors with new furni
ture, a supply of magazines, and
put some games in each one.”
Penina Bowden would include
radios in each one also. Someone
else suggested that she would in
clude a course of interior dec
orating in'the home economics
department. During the course,
the students would be required
to re-upholster the furniture in
Johnson Hall, especially that in
the parlors.
Well, if we’re going to dream,
why not do it in a big way? Let’s
have a huge gymnasium with a
swimming pool in the basement
level, bowling alley at one side
of the main floor, with the
basketball court taking up the
majority of the space, and a skat
ing rink above that?! It’s a good
thing this is a dream ’cause
who’d get any studying done if
such a place were real?
Three angels who failed to give
their names decided to give co
eds ! . ! ! Ruby Wiggins also
wanted to put more eligible
males on campus and Barbye
Harper said she’d erect a house
of some type for all the married
students so that their husbands
could come to see them at any
time without being bothered
with any regulations!

VOLUNTEERS PARTICIPATE IN WORK
AT BAPTIST GOOD WILL CENTER

“For Friendly Gifts”

Opposite S&W Cafeteria
By BECKY CALLOWAY
Some of the most constructive
work in which Meredith girls
are engaged, takes place on a
purely voluntary basis during
the girls’ free hours. This work
is carried on at the Baptist Good
Will Center, which is directed
by Miss Annie Ivey and her as
sistant, Miss Bettye Frazier.
The Good Will Center is a
community center for the Smoky
Hollow area. It is located in an
ordinary small white house.
Children from the ages of four to
seventeen spend much of their
spare time here where they are
provided with spiritual guidance
as well as with social activities.
Meredith girls help those who
are slow in reading or those who
have'difficulty with pronouncia-
tion and vocabulary. Classes
such as these are held on Mon
days and Tuesdays. On Thurs
days and Fridays the girls teach
choral groups and piano lessons
to junior and intermediate girls.

Dreaming is lots of fun, but
there are some things that we
really can give to our school. For
example, we can do something
about what Jackie Norris said
would be her big gift to Mere
dith. She said she would give
“More personal interest on the
part of the students in the up
keep of the school.”

Christmas Cookery
By BETH MORGAN
Have Christmasy smells been
drifting your way? Have you
seen ornate animals, brightly
colored snowmen, and gaily-
dressed, petite men and women?
The making and decorating of
children’s cookies has been the
Christmas project of the sopho
more foods class this year. After
several class periods of practice
in perfecting technique and de
veloping new ideas, groups of
students were invited to present
demonstrations for various
women’s clubs.
At the invitation of a club
made Up of the wives of minis
terial students at Wake Forest,
Sarah Dale, Millie Greene, and
Jane Williamson, accompanied
by Mary Jo Shaw, president of
the Home Economics club, pre
sented a demonstration. The
theme was centered around the
fact that hospitality can be ex
tended in modern times and still
be economical in time and
money.
A similar program was pre
sented at Lillington by Ardine
Lewis, Joan Langley, and Tre-
vah Garrett with Jane Luther
Compton accompanying them as
a representative of the Home
Economics club.
In connection with a work
shop called “Christmas Ideas at
Work,” the Raleigh Woman’s
club requested a demonstration
on making and decorating cook
ies. Cookies were shown that
were made by cutters which
printed a design at the same
time they cut. Others were
shown which were cut without
any cutters at all. Then the
cookies were decorated in such
a fashion that would thrill any
child. Students participating in
this demonstration were Beth
Morgan, Dot Prickett, Mary Jo
Griffin, Shirley West, Pat
O’Quinn, Janice Witherington,
Nell Garrell, and Shirley Gra
ham.
