EXCERPTS FROM CHAPEL
(Continued from page three)
“Where can I find a woman
with the training and prepara
tion to fill the job the world
needs today? I don’t know, for
as far as training and prepara
tion are concerned, there are
quick and dead-end jobs avail
able and the lure of early, ro
mantic marriage that capture
much of the ability and talent
needed in the world.” — Mrs.
Susan B. Riley (quoted by Dr.
Carlyle Campbell)
“It’s a great thing to be alive,
young, and facing life. Jesus, as
a young man, faced temptation
and combated it, for Jesus had
knowledge of superior power.
“Sixty years ago, life was rel
atively simple. A vast majority
of the population were farmers
who worked hard to make a liv
ing. The sons followed their
fathers in this occupation. Girls
married and became home
makers because few other occu
pations were open to them.
Now, employed hordes of people
run vast industries.
“Today, the specter of war
hangs over us on a scale un
thought of two decades ago.
Few people have any hope for
civilization. However, there is
one thing you may always be
certain of. There will be a fu
ture. Young people will find
greater discoveries and control
of natural resources. There will
be greater health service and
more effective ways of pro
moting better human relations.
“So you ask, ‘How can I fit
in?’ There will be Christian
homes to make and children to
be reared. There will be the
right relationships to establish
in churches and schools. There
will be important work to do in
the office or laboratory. What
ever you do, put yourself on the
right side of life, and do your
best in that position.” — Dr.
L. E. M. Freeman, Former Head
of Religion Department, Mere
dith College

Fellows range from $1,400 to
$1,800. In addition, tuition and

Betty Lou Bunn Receives Prizes,
Awards, Scholarship For 4-H Work
By KIRKSEY SINK
The freshmen are making
themselves known at Meredith.
Betty Lou Bunn from Goldsboro
has certainly placed herself in
the limelight and on the map for
her achievements in 4-H Club
work. On November 30, she was
presented three awards—Coun
ty Citizenship Medal, Achieve
ment Medal, and Leadership
Medal for her club activities in
Wayne County. This is unusual
in itself, for there is normally
a different winner for each
award. Betty Lou has the sin
gular honor of having copped
them all. The presentation was
made in Goldsboro at the an
nual County 4-H Achievement
Program. Various prizes were
also given her at the program
]:or her work.
Eight years a member of the
.ocal club, and a past president,
she says that the club is her
main interest. Through this
work she has cleared over $6,-
000, something rare for a col
lege freshman. Her projects
lave included sewing, canning,
cooking, and raising poultry.
The main project, however, was
her work with frozen foods, for
which she won national recog
nition in Chicago and a $300
scholarship. In this project, she
froze over 600 pounds of meat
and 400 pounds of vegetables,
to say nothing of 500 biscuits,
pies, and cakes — even down
to onions. Last summer while in
Chicago, Betty Lou appeared
on television.
Awarded a life-time member
ship in the 4-H Club, Betty Lou
is well on her way to a success
ful career — one which Mere
dith will be watching with
interested eyes.

Students go to college 14 days
out of every year, according to
the Southeastern, at Southeast
ern State College, Okla. Here’s
how the paper figures it:
Out of 365 days a student
sleeps away a third of this —
eight hours a day. This leaves
243 days. Then there,.are 52 Sun
days. Take at least half an hour
per day off for lunch and three
months for summer vacation.
This leaves 91 days.
Now subtract 52 Saturdays, a
couple of weeks for Christmas
vacation; throw in spring vaca-
cation and the Thanksgiving
weekend. We’re left with two
weeks of school each year.
