Activities
The Home Economics Club held
its first meeting of the year Octo
ber 7. A picnic was held in honor
of the new members, and the old
members told about their summer
activities.
Some of the girls were in charge
of the Raleigh Homemakers’ Club
on October 12. They gave a dem
onstration of various techniques of
constructing wool suits. The girls
who gave the demonstration were
Virginia Mumford, Virginia Kime,
Patty Melvin, Vivian Stanley, and
Joan Allen.
There are three senior students
living in the home management
apartment this month. They are
Carolyn Wood, hostess; Lois Wil
liams, first cook; and Earline Mar
tin, assistant cook. The girls will ex
change jobs during their time in the
apartment. A budget of 75 cents per
person per day has been set up for
them.
We have several girls doing prac
tice teaching this semester. They are
Virginia Kime at Hugh Morson; Cleo

the year are: Millie Harvey,
president; Kathryn Bright, vice-
president; Elladene Johnson, secre

The first regular meeting of the
International Relations Club was
held Thursday night, Octobe'r 21, at

On Friday, September 24, the
Colton English Club began the year
with a tea for its new members in
the Browsing Room on second
Brewer. On Thursday, October 7,
the first meeting of the club was

BEHINDTHESCENES
WE RECOGNIZE ANN CASHWELl
She is small and delicate, has a
Joan of Arc hairdo, has inquisitive
eyebrows, and walks as if she is
surrounded by misty pink clouds.
She is Ann Cashwell, this week’s
Behind-the-Scene-girl. A native of
Parkersburg, North Carolina, Ann
is far from being unaware of the
things which go on around her.
Some know her as a very tal
ented artist. It is not at all unusual
to walk into her room on second
Brewer and find her stroking a big
piece of ^aper which she explains is
an abstract. Others know her as the
Behind-the-Scenes scenery construc
tor for Meredith Playhouse. At al
most any time, one could walk
through Johnson Hall and find one
of her posters for various clubs on
the bulletin board.
Ann is also a student of English.
She loves Shakespeare with a pas
sion. Just ask her to quote some for
you sometime!
Her recognition of classical mu
sic is most unusual. Hindemith,
Shostakovitch, and Prokofieff, as
Shown with her favorite pastime is Ann
Cashwell.
College Sports
Are in Full Swing
Hockey practices are in full
swing. A good number of freshmen
have been coming out and they
seem to be catching on to the game
rapidly. On Tuesday, October 11,
the first practice game was played,
and the prospects for this season
looked very good. A tentative game
with Carolina is being planned for
some time within the next two
weeks. Meredith will be the host
school, so let’s turn, out when the
big day arrives!
Meredith College has been in
vited to participate in a Playday at
Greensboro College on October 23.
A volleyball and tennis team will
represent us there. Practices are
being held every Wednesday after
noon for the volleyball team. It
looks as if a lot of fun is in store
for us.
October 14, Dr. Johnson read son
nets.

well as Chopin, Bach and Beetho
ven are familiar to her.
In spite of her full schedule, Ann
has held a number of jobs since
she has been at Meredith. She has
worked boh in the art lab and in
the Dean’s office.
As a member of the A.A. Board
this Behind-the-^Scenes girl has done
most of her work in the field of
archery.
Those black and white drawings,
sketches and abstract paintings
which appear in the Acorn may be
attributed to Ann’s efforts as art
editor for the Acorn.
As an interesting sideline, Ann is
fascinated with the study of snakes.
Don’t let her quietness and dazed
look fool you. She is quite dfferent
under this mask. Ann is a girl well
worth knowing. Look her up and
see if you don’t agree. Whether it
is in the art lab, the Dean’s office
or just wandering around the cam
pus, you are sure to see her.
CURTAIN CALLS
The play’s the thing! Yes, “Qual
ity Street,” that period comedy in
four acts by James Barrie, is the
thing in the minds of our theatri
cally inclined at present. There is
quite a bit of activity going on as the
play has been cast, and rehearsals
have begun full force. The cast
consists of four principals and a sup
porting cast of eight. The leading
roles are held by Verna Wooten as
WHAT IS YOUR CHAPEL CONDUCT?
From the Kilikilik
A freshman sat in the chapel dim
Stiff and erect and still.
And faithfully sang the opening hymn
And read the Psalm with will.
The sophomore sat with a languid care
With his arms on the forward seat;
The latest French novel was on his knee
And a newspaper was at his feet.
With back to the front the Junior sat;
His seat was the middle aisle.
And cautiously now he’d wave his hat
As he caught the maiden’s smile.
Fervently then the preacher spoke
With his eyes on the senior’s chair;
But in that aisle no disturbance broke
For there was no senior there.
BSU Is Active
On Saturday night, October 16,
the B.S.U. sponsored an open house
in the hut. Boys from State were
invited. Various games were enjoyed
and refreshments were served.
The annual B.S.U. Convention is
almost here. It will be held in Salis
bury on November 5, 6, and 7.
Dr. Culbert G. Rutenber and
Dr. Dale Moody are two of the
well-known speakers for the con
vention. The theme will be “Toward
Twentieth Century Discipleship.”
In order that the convention will
be more meaningful to each of us,
the B.S.U. is sponsoring a discussion
with a group from Wake Forest on
the Saturday before the convention,
October 30.

Phoebe, Ada Lou -Worth as Susan,
Ernie Faust as Valentine Brown,
and Cathy Atkins as Patty the maid.
In supporting roles are Susan Moss
as Miss Willoughby, Kay Johnson as
Henrietta, Shirley White as Fanny,
Edith Johnson as Charlotte, Jimmy
McKoy as Blades, Jack Terry as
Spitzer, and Donny da Parma as
Arthur. These kids have really been
doing some hard work in this busi
ness called “show business.’,’ It takes
plenty of that intangible stuff called
“time” as well as a lot of conscious
effort. A grand play is in the mak
ing, folks! Mrs. da Parma is a won
derful director, and we’re exceed
ingly lucky to , have her. She is
certainly putting her whole self into
this play and is an invaluable asset
to us all. As student director, Violet
Overton, a transfer from Mars Hill,
is doing a superb job.
Backstage we have a number of
busy bees, also. And what a sur
prise those backstagers have just
received! Gone are the days of set
building! No more hammered fin
gers or paint-splattered faces! At
last, no more worries about falling
scenery. Perhaps many of you won’t
appreciate that last statement as
some of those patient, hard-working
souls will who have braced sets with
their own frames of protoplasm
and have prayed silently that the
things would hold up during a cli
matic moment of some intense
drama! Yes, the PLAYHOUSE is
in the process of purchasing unit
scenery] It’s already built (hurrah!),
easily movable from one place to
another, easily ^divided and easily
put away. It’ll certainly be wonder
ful to work with in this forthcoming
production of ours and in the fu
ture.
“Quality Street” is still in the
cocoon, but don’t forget that it will
emerge as a full-grown production
with lots of entertainment and good
acting on the nights of Novem
ber 12 and 13.
