We Recognize Pat Corbett
two
By ANN HOUSE
I’ve roomed with Pat for
years, and I can freely say she is a
very talented girl in many respects.
Most everybody on campus has
heard Pat playing either the piano
or her accordion. Pat has really
brightened up the meals in the din
ing hall with her playing. Her latest
accomplishment is learning how to
play the ukelele.
Pat is a sophomore majoring in
music (of course), and her home
town is Kenly, North Carolina. If
you don’t know where Kenly is, just
ask her and she will tell you it is
on Highway 301!
Pat is a member of the Playhouse,
the YWA, the McDowell Music
Club, and the Spanish Club. Besides
being so very talented in music, she
likes sports and is especially good in
vollyball.
Her friendly attitude is expressed
at all times and on her face you will
always see a smile.
Pat holds an important job in the
Bee Hive. Whether you see her in
the Bee Hive, in the Music building,
or running around campus, you will
agree with me Pat is quite a girl.
HARK! THE ANGELS SING -

part of the lives of all of us. One
cannot think of the Christmas sea
son without thinking of the familiar
carols we all know soch as “Silent
Night” and “Joy to the World.”
Music from the great masters, such
as Handel’s “Messiah,” have be
come a part of Christmas too.
Caroling and the singing of Christ
mas hymns are the very spirit of the
season to us, and especially the
caroling we do as Meredith angels.
It leaves an unforgettable impres
sion on us. Tonight we sing as carol
ers of old in true traditional fashion
and return, tired, cold, and sleepy,
for pleasant dreams. Then suddenly
we realize that Santa comes in just
a week. Meredith has lost its charm
for a while. Holidays are here; so I
say, “Deck the halls with boughs of
holly. ’Tis the season to be jolly,”
and I hope this is the merriest
Christmas of them all.

CLUB NEWS
HOME ECONOMICS CLUB
The Home Economics Club held
its December meeting on Thursday,
December 2, 1954, in the home
economics room which had been
decorated in the Christmas motif
for the occasion. The theme of the
program was “Christmas in Other
Lands.” The club was fortunate in
having Jeanne Tong and Martha
Mastellanii tell about Christmas in
their home lands. Jeanne described
Christmas in China as being cele
brated very much as it is here. The
people are very happy to see the
holiday approach. They exchange
gifts as we do, and the children look
forward to Santa’s visit as do
American children. Jean showed
many beautiful clothes which she
had brought with her from China.
The dresses, jackets, and tiny satin
slippers were greatly admired by
everyone. Martha then told about
Christmas in Panama. She said that
their celebration also was much like
ours because of the influence of
their North American neighbors.
Since many of the people in her
country are Catholic, they go to
midnight mass on Christmas eve
returning home later for an elabo
rate dinner and a 2 a.m. parade
The children hang their stockings
just as children in our country do.
She brought with her a dress hand
made by the people in her country,
and two charming dolls dressed in
the native costume of Panama. The
program was fascinating and every
one enjoyed it greatly.
For a Christmas project the club
decided to send a Care package to
Korea.
SOCIOLOGY CLUB
Dr. Elmer H. Johnson, of the
Department of Sociology at North
Carolina State College, was the
speaker for the December 14 meet
ing. A period of questions and dis
cussion followed Dr. Johnson’s talk
on de-segregation.
A visit to the Wake County Home
was made Monday night, Decem
ber 13, when the club carried favors
of small Christmas trees and cor
sages to the men and women there.
Christmas carols and other Christ
mas songs were sung with them.
On November 23, the Sociology
Club members heard Miss Madge
Aycock, assistant dean of women,
speak on medical and psychiatric
social work. Miss Aycock, having
done work of this nature before
coming to Meredith, was well quali
fied to speak on the subject and to
answer the questions brought up by
the club members.

Where Meredith and
State Meet
ROYS
On January 18th, the Baptist Stu
dent Union will sponsor a chapel
program on openings for students
in summer work sponsored by Bap
tists and other Christian groups.
Meredith students in years past have
taken part in projects of the Home
Mission Board and have served on
the staffs of Ridgecrest, Fruitland,
and Caswell assemblies. There will
be opportunity to interview visiting
leaders acquainted with the summer
jobs in this state and in other parts
of the country.
Interested students are reminded
to discuss their plans with their par
ents during the holidays in prepara
tion for applying early in the new
year. Early appplication is advisable
as places in the programs are usually
well filled before the end of the
Speaking of the Christmas spirit,
I think that we were all filled with
the true spirit of Christmas when
the play production class in reli
gious drama presented “A Child Is
Born” under the direction of Mrs.
da Parma this past Tuesday as the
B.S.U. Christmas chapel program. It
was certainly an inspiring half hour.
Now that this joyous Yuletide
season is upon us, we shall have
ample opportunities to enjoy at no
expense some of the most meaning
ful dramas of the year on radio,
television, in our home churches.
and in our community playhouses.
Such dramas as Charles Dickens’
“A Christmas Carol,” the many rec
reations of the Nativity, and numer
ous dramatic productions featuring
Christmas music will fill the air
waves.
Now are we able to truly appreci
ate drama and understand what it
holds for us? Can you imagine a
Christmas without even the simplest
play on the birth of Christ? It would
be a bleak one to say the least. A
play itself does not necessarily instill
within us all that Christmas should
mean to us, but it does help to rec
reate within us the feeling of peace
on earth, good will toward men. We
need the play, we expect it, for it
has become a part of us.
In closing. Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year to you all!
