Sophomores Learn How Little They
Know in Two^ Day Testing Period
By PHYLLIS TRIBBLE
“It wasn’t so bad if you knew
it!” “Maybe boys could have an
swered it, but never girls!”
“Now I know how little I
know!” “Could have been
worse.” “No comment!”
Such were the varied reac
tions of the members of the
sophomore class to the sopho
more tests given on April 16-
17.
These tests, given to deter
mine how much general knowl
edge a student has mastered, in
cluded first, a culture test with
questions in the fields of history
and social studies, literature,
science and mathematics. The
second examination dealt with
the principles of the English
language — grammar, spell
ing, punctuation, comprehen
sion. The third part was con
cerned with contemporary af
fairs.
These tests are graded at
Princeton University and the re
sults returned so that each stu
dent may know how she ranks
in each field.
In general, the sophomores
agreed that their college courses
were excellent preparation for
the questions asked. They felt
the tests were valuable to them
personally in pointing up their
gaps of knowledge. Some even
admitted that they discovered
the Greeks were right in calling
them “wise fools.”

Mrs. Vera Tart Marsh, our

April 19, for Washington, where
she represented Meredith Col

the American Association of
Collegiate Registrars, with
headquarters in the Statler Ho

of the North Carolina Associa
tion of College Registrars, is
now a member of the national
committee for entertainment
and acted as one of the official
lostesses at the convention. She
also took part in the “Registrar’s
Clinic,” which is best described
as a panel question and answer
aeriod for the benefit of new reg
istrars.
The special workshop to
which Meredith’s Registrar was
invited was designated as Ethics
in General Personnel, Of
fice Management, and Recording
Procedures. Mrs. Marsh, while
admitting that this program
meant work, stated that there
were pleasant recreational in
terludes such as the reception at
the “new-looking” White House,
where President and Mrs. Tru

The Education Bureau of

reception on Tuesday evening.

Signs with “MacDowell Music
Club Project,” posted all over
campus, have aroused many
people’s curiosity, mine in
cluded. So, after a little inquiry,
I found that Monday night, the
club members, armed with rags,
water, and elbow grease, des
cended on the practice rooms to
sweep, dust, and wash keys. I
think they deserve a great deal
of thanks for such a swell job.
We have a celebrity in our
