Behind the Scenes
We Recognize Alyce Picklesimer
Sally Drake
Presents Exhibit
Alyce Picklesimer is a sophomore
from Leaksville living on first
Brewer. During her past two years
at Meredith, she has managed to
build up quite a reputation for her
self not only in her chosen field,
organ, but in B.S.U. music commit
tee work, helping with vespers, and
capable salesmanship in the Bee
Hive. In addition to all this, Alyce
proved that she can sing, too, with
her rendition of “Hearts of Stone”
at a recent church Valentine
banquet!
Alyce worked at Fruitland last
summer, where she had a wonderful
time and even met the source of her
current interest at Furman Univer
sity. Her roommate, Jo Ellen Wil
liams, tells us he comes to Raleigh
quite often.
Music is Alyce’s chief interest,
shown not only by her choice of a
major but in her avocation—rec
ords. Her favorite record is Ravel’s
“Bolero.” Also fond of reading, she
is a Thomas Wolfe fan.
Alyce, like most music majors, is
the type of girl who’s always in a
hurry. We like the phrase her
roommate used in describing her—
“real snappy.”

It was stated in the last issue of

man from Long Island, New York.
SOCIOLOGY 3IAJORS
TELL ABOLT WORK
At the February meeting of the
sociology club, senior sociology ma
jors spoke about their work with
various agencies in Raleigh. June
Vann worked with Travelers’ Aid
in the bus terminal, talking with
many kinds of people with many
kinds of problems.
Nancy Hall guided the Y-Teens
in Raleigh in planning a devotional
workshop and a party which were
given at the end of last semester.
Joyce Causey, with the Public
Welfare Board, studied many case
histories and visited families which
had applied for county aid.
Frances Pickard worked with the
Home Service Department in the
Red Cross, which sends emergency
notices to servicemen and which
helps to locate servicemen or their
families.
During January the club pre
sented a musical program at the
County Home and during February,
sent Valentines.
A basketball game is scheduled
with Carolina girls at Chapel Hill
on February 24, and on the next
day our interdormitory tournament
begins. At the end of the basketball
season a trophy is given to the dorm
that wins, and medals are presented
to girls who are recognized as
members of an honorary varsity. A
trophy is also presented to the “Most
Valuable Basketball Player.” This
particular trophy is given annually
by Miss Cunningham.
The A.A. Board has a new mem
ber—Emily Newman. She has been
chosen to act as a Co-Chairman of
Dance. Emily is a member of the
Advanced Dance Group this year
and should be a great asset to the
board.
Sally Drake, a senior art major
from Washington, D. C., held the
formal opening of her graduation
art exhibit February 10 in the
Meredith gallery. Works shown were
done in pastels, oils, pencil, water
color, and tempera. They were rep
resentative of Sally’s four years of
art study at Meredith.
To quote her professor, Mr.
Reynolds, “She shows a personal ar
tistic style of freedom and integrity”
in the light and airy pictures that
reveal her awareness of forms in

ing occurred right in the middle of
the “Grandma’s lye soap” section of
“It’s in the Book.” Just when we
were getting into the spirit of the
chorus, the doorbell rang and the
paid baritone, who had come to take
one of the girls to First Baptist choir,
stepped uncertainly into our
cultured presence.
When the meal and the concert
were over, Mrs. Campbell came in
and demonstrated that she was as
superb a hostess as a cook. Both
she and her husband have a hobby
of collecting puzzles, riddles, and
fascinating games and have a wide
assortment of these which we found
excellent brain teasers and enter
tainment. We, like other classes,
had heard the seniors before us tell
of our president’s talent as a pianist.
After much persuasion and with a
good bit of modesty, he sat down at
the piano and, with great dignity,
expertly played his simultaneous ar
rangement of “Dixie” and “Yankee
Doodle” to the delight of us all.
Both Dr. and Mrs. Campbell
have deservedly won the title of
gracious hosts, and their home is a
charming one in which to visit. All
of the Angels and particularly the
seniors of ’55 have much to look
forward to when they meet the
president and his lady behind the
scenes. Anticipate a delightful
evening — you won’t be disap
pointed.
Only one concert remains in the
1954-55 chamber music series. This
concert, which will be presented on
February 26, by the New Art Wind
Quintet, promises to be one of the
highest quality. Their program will
include “Blaserquintett,” Op. 88,
No. 2, John Verral; “Quartet No.
1,” in F Major, Gioacchino Rossini;
and “Quintette a Vent,” Jean
Francaix. I’m sure you can’t afford
to miss this concert by one of the
outstanding chamber groups in
America today.
Have you attended the recent pi
ano recitals presented by Miss Su
zanne Axworthy of our music fac
ulty and Mary Dare Moore, who
appeared in her graduation recital
on February 11? If you did, I know
you are still remembering them with
pleasure and are looking forward to
the other recitals in the Meredith
B.S.U. NEWS
The Wake County B.S.U. Coun
cil met on February 8, at eight
o’clock, in the hut at Meredith.
State, Wake Forest, Southeastern
Seminary, and Meredith were rep
resented. State College presented a
vivid program showing the practical
aspects of religion in everyday life.
Meredith furnished the entertain
ment and refreshments.
Religious Emphasis Week is over,
but Rev. Randolph L. Gregory,
Miss Anne Queen, Dr. E. Norfleet
Gardner, and Mrs. Mary Ellen
Wooten Garrett will not soon be
forgotten. The important thing now
is to not let our spiritual growth end
with Religious Emphasis Week but
continue through the year.
concert schedule that will come later
in the semester.
February is,^of course, the month
of hatchets and cherry trees and
thoughts of “Honest Abe.” In case
you are interested in music in rela
tion to our history, these facts will
interest you. Joseph Haydn and
George Washington were bom the
same year and Frederick Chopin
was bom just a year after the birth
of Abraham Lincoln. It seems
strange that these great men were
so near in time and yet so unrelated
in their great contribution to the
world. While speaking of our coun
try’s founders, here is a commen
tary from the last war about the
patriotically-minded Americans of
today; “Qut of the dark came the
voice of a sentry, ‘Halt. Who’s
there?’ ‘An American,’ was the re
ply. ‘Is that so? Well, advance and
recite the second verse of the “Star-
Spangled Banner”.’ ‘I don’t know it.’
‘Proceed, American’.”
As was recently pointed out to
the Meredith student body in
spring a young man’s fancy lightly
turns you-know-where — at least
that’s what we’re hoping. But in case
all does not develop according to
your sweetest expectations in the
coming days of spring, remember a
statement Sidney Lanier once made
as you practice diligently your ap
plied music: “Music is love in search
of a word.” That might be tme.
Try it and see.
