MUSIC DEPARTMENT
NEEDS YOU
Not long ago the Music Build
ing with its spacious classrooms,
modern lighting, and assortment
of instruments, belonged to a
privileged few. Except for music
majors, nobody ventured inside
the world of theory and har
mony, unless to use it as a short
cut to class or chapel.
Because of the dissatisfaction
of Miss Phyllis Weyer, instructor
of instrumental music, the pic
ture is changing rapidly. “Why,”
reasoned Miss Weyer, “doesn’t
Meredith have an orchestra? In
a college with as strong a music
department as exists here, it is
a shame that instrumental tal
ent is being overshadowed by
voice, piano, and organ.” Tired
of seeing this phase of music
neglected while other organiza
tions progressed. Miss Weyer de
cided to make some changes.
She worked quietly and res
olutely, and soon violins, flutes
and an oboe were accompanying
the chorus and the piano in
chapel. A few of the young mu
sicians are accomplished music
students. Most of them are be
ginners who were anxious to
receive instructions and experi
ence. All have caught Miss Wey-
er’s enthusiasm to have a new
music organization contributing
to the cultural life at Meredith
and adding to the established
reputation of the music depart
ment.
The purpose that keeps them
plugging away at their instru
ments is the belief that great
things all have small beginnings.
What today is a handful of stu
dents meeting weekly to prac
tice hymns for chapel might
someday be a full college orches
tra rehearsing for seasonal con
certs. It is their hope that others
at Meredith-swho had rudimen
tary training in childhood or who
had no musical training—would
like to master an instrument and
blend their small, important part
into the beautiful harmony of a
symphony. .
If any student is interested in
joining the group, contact Miss
Weyer, 111 Music Building. The
instrument of your choice and
free instructions are there for
you. -

Each fall the Meredith stu
dents and faculty members gath
er for an evening of fun and
entertainment at the Corn Hus
kin’ 6ee. The evening begins in
the gaily decorated dining hall
at dinner when everybody comes
in couples, dressed as boy and
girl, in original costumes. Spirit
is high that night because the
Corn Huskin’ Bee is an occasion
which students and faculty mem
bers alike look forward to with
great anticipation. After every
one has eaten, the scene changes
to the old auditorium. There
square dancing, tall tales, origi
nal songs, hog-calling contests,
chicken-calling contests, and
corn-shucking contests take the
spotlight. Prizes are awarded to
the winners of all these contests
and to the couple whose cos
tumes are the most original.
There is fun and laughter for
everyone as students and faculty
members participate in these
various contests.
This year we are looking for
ward to an even better Corn
Huskin’ Bee than ever before. It
will be held on Friday night,
October 31. We’ll see you there!
