We Recognize Kathy Atkins CoilVGIltion 3t Bostoil
Kathy Atkins, a junior history
major from Albemarle, N. C., has
been active in school activities here
at Meredith since her freshman
year. Since her pledge to the
Philaretian Society, she has been
known as a strong Phi.
This year along with being a
Dean’s List girl, she has been swim
ming manager on the A.A. Board,
vice-president of her class, and as
sistant hall proctor.
One of her hobbies, participating
in different dramatic functions, is
evident; for she will be heading the
Playhouse next year as President.
The two productions already pre
sented this year by the dramatics
club have found Kathy in the play
cast. She also directed the junior
stunt for Stunt Night.
Along with her dramatical in
tercst, Kathy is a friendly, sweet
girl active in school life. Through
her efforts, she has proved to be an
excellent leader. She plans to teach
history after graduation.
Home Economics Club
Sponsors Egg Hunt
The Home Economics club held
an Easter egg hunt for seventeen
first and second grade children from
the Methodist Orphanage on Thurs
day, March 31. The little girls and
boys played games before they
started to hunt for the brightly
colored eggs which had been hidden
in the court at Meredith.
Amorette Bryant, dressed as the
Easter Bunny, ran into the court
and contributed greatly to the hap
piness and excitment of the event.
Rovilla Myers, as chairman of
the service committee, was in
charge of the arrangements. Among
those assisting her were: Pat Swann,
Betty Jean Davis, Nancy Hardie,
Faye Chandler, Sally Everhart,
Rebecca Tramwell, La Rue Taylor,
Florette Pcele, Sara Outlaw, Vir

advisor for our local club, went with
the delegates.
Joan Allen, Vivian Stanley, Lela
Melvin, and Patty Melvin are liv
ing and working in the Mere-Ello
apartment for the month of April.
The following officers have been
elected to carry on the program of
work for 1955-1956: president —
Betty Jean Davis, vice-president —

We are sure the club will prosper

Sociology Cluh Meets
On March 15 the Sociology Club
heard Miss Roberta Lytle, psychi
atric social work consultant for the
Alcoholic Rehabilitation Program,
tell about her work. A movie en
titled “Alcoholism” was shown. This
portrayed the case history of an al
coholic and told how he was helped
to recovery through the Alcoholic
Rehabilitation Program. Pamphlets
and other reading materials were
distributed among the club mem
bers.
On the night of April 4 a group
of students went to the county
home. Easter songs were sung with
the men and women there while
Pat Corbett accompanied on her ac-
cordian.
Shaw University and St. Augus
tine students were guests at the
April 19th meeting of the Sociology
Club. Dr. Elizabeth Vaughan spoke
on interesting aspects of her recent
stay in Europe.
had some of their paintings on ex
hibit in two art shows here in Ra
leigh. One of them, sponsored by
the Women’s Club of Raleigh, was
given April 1-6, and the other was
the sidewalk art exhibit at Cameron

who exhibited their paintings were
Sally Drake, Nell Rivers, Mary

Betty Jean Blackman, Mrs. Carol

ster, Carolyn Greene, Joyce Bailey,
Janice Bargen, Janice Richardson,
Martha Ferrell, Jo Ann Selley, and
Ada Lou Worth.
The A.A. held its installation
service in chapel on Thursday,
April 14. The installation was an
informal preview of the campfire
scene which is sure to be a part of
the annual picnic party that the old
board gives to the new members.
The old board discussed the impor
tant events of their 1954-55 year.
Then one by one, each board mem
ber gave up her seat by the camp
fire in favor of the new girl who
will take her place next year. Ruth
Jeanne Allen administered the
oath and wished the 1955-56 board
a successful year.
Two tournaments have been
completed in the individual sport
area. Joyce Burns is the new bad-

Congratulations to Mary Lois
Cadle! Announcement has been
made by Dr. Cooper of the presen
tation of an award of ten dollars
given by the Sigma Alpha Iota Na
tional Foundation to the Sigma Al
pha Iota member of outstanding
worth to her chapter. Selection was
made by the music faculty and staff
on the basis not only of scholarship
and finaricial need, but chiefly on
her contributions to Sigma Alpha
Iota as aid to her fraternity. We all
congratulate you, Mary Lois.
Miss Sari Biro is one of the lead
ing women pianists of our day. She
has been a professional pianist ever
since, as a small girl in Budapest,
she played for neighbors and was
paid in candy and cake. This was
shortly after the time (at the age
of four) when she startled her
family by sitting down at the piano
and playing from memory a simple
piece her older sister had just
learned. Miss Biro’s program, which
she will present on our campus soon,
includes works by Bach, Scarletti,
Beethoven, Chopin, Kabalevsky,
Mendelssohn, and Liszt. We are in
deed fortunate to have her as a vis
iting artist at Meredith.
The annual concert by the Ra
leigh Piano Ensemble was presented
on April 19 under the direction of
Mr. Stuart Pratt, head of the piano
department. The group includes
many of the best pianists in Ra-
eigh and their performance is one
of enjoyment for all attending.
dent at least knows what time she
should go to class. But we’ll miss the
music office bell-ringer. She has
gone the way of the old lamplighter.
As the bell lay in state under its
plastic cake, cover, flanked by two
candles, on Tuesday, we paused to
remember the good old days.
Just six more weeks of school! I
can’t believe it. It’s true, I guess,
though, since everyone’s saying that
exams begin in a month. It feels
different this semester to realize that
it’s your last exams, but, to use an
old and well-worn expression, “old
seniors never die; they just fade
away.” Although I may have been
fading for some time now, this is
really the time I become an at-once-
forgotten ghost in the issues of the
Twig. I have enjoyed writing what’s
happening in this busy department
for two years, but I don’t feel great
pangs of regret at leaving because
I know that I have a capable suc
cessor to report to you. Adair
Whisenhunt is the new music editor
and will keep you informed — or
else 111 haunt her. Being music
editor has been a genuine pleasure,
but now — bye.
The basketball season has just
closed and the honorary varsity has
been chosen. Joyce Bailey, Loree
Keen, Kay Johnson, and Mary Edna
Grimes received this honor. Each
year a trophy is given by Miss Cun
ningham to the most valuable
basketball player and this year the
coveted honor went to senior Joyce
Bailey.
SPRING FEATURES
(Continued from page one)
“Souvenirs, opus 28” by Samuel
Barber, a contemporary American
composer. (These “Souvenirs,” a
set of six dances, are reminiscences
of the World War I era.)
“Sonata for Two Pianos” by
Alexei Haieff — (This new work,
published in December, 1954, will
be here given probably its first per
formance outside New York City).
What a surprise was awaiting the
unlucky person who happened to be
standing near one of the bells of the
newly-installed bell system for the
music building when we returned
from spring holidays! It’s quite ef
ficient, and assures that every stu-
