Under the direction of Miss Doris Peterson, assisted by Mrs. Katherine Adams and Mrs. Ruth Nickelson, the group pre sented a program well received by the audience.

To climax the first half, seven dancers presented an exotic number of Egyptian origin. A story in dance, An Old World Toy Shop, made up the latter part of the program. The first act revealed an old shop keeper who was very proud of his collection of mechanical dolls and toys. He was saddened each time he had to part with a single doll. A real tragedy occurred when a couple insisted on buying only one of a pair of beautiful dancing dolls for their little daughter. Both dolls broke down when they were separated, and neither could be made to dance. When it was finally decided that both dolls be delivered to the little girl on the following day, the dancing dolls magically regained their mechanical ability. How little the toyshop keeper knew of what went on in his shop while he slept was dis played in act two by the Dresden China Dolls, Gypsy Dolls, the Soldier and Sweet heart, Wooden Soldiers, the Princes and Princesses, Chinese Dolls, Tyrolean Dolls, Dutch Dolls, and Raggedy Ann and Andy, who all performed at the wish of the Dancing Dolls. The story by Lewis Chalif, created a delightful performance for the group. Serving as student manager for the annual Spring Concert was Kitten James. Mrs. J. T. Lynn was accompanist and Miss Judith Mayes dramatic advisor.

A rather severe storm arose about an hour before the appointed time for the outing and the group was in debate as to whether the trip could be made. But the sun reappeared by five o’clock and the group proceeded to Crab tree. Things were rather wet but there were no dampened appe tites and the food committee was well prepared, so everyone had a wonderful time. SOFTBALL The Softball Tournament is in progress. It began Monday, May 5, with a play-off between the Freshman team and the Sopho more team. The Sophomores came out on the short end of the score, incidentally. The next game was between the Junior- Senior team and the Sopho mores. Again the Sophomores lost, this time with a score of 10-11. Two losses won a rest for the Sophomores and now the contest is between the Junior- Senior team and the Freshmen. Only three innings of the usual five-innings have been played as yet and the score for these three innings was tied. BICYCLING Chances are that Meredith students will be enjoying a new individual sport next year —- bicycling. The board decided to spend an eighty dollar donation of the class of 1945 on two new bicycles. A committee has been appointed and are shopping around for a good buy.
