Behind the Scenes
WE RECOGNIZE HORTENSE WIGGS
By BARBARA SNIPES
Hortense Wiggs, a senior piano
major from Smithfield, is known for
her willingness and ability to help
anyone in any respect. Even though
she never held a class office, Hor
tense has frequently been seen “be
hind the scenes” doing her job well.
This Dean’s List girl was a fresh
man counselor her sophomore year,
and along with being a member of
the MacDowell Music Club all four
years at Meredith, she was a mem
ber of the German Club. During her
junior year she was elected chaplain
of Sigma Alpha lota musical fra
ternity and headed the organization
as president this year. While being
president, Hortense fulfilled her job
exceptionally well.
Due to her interest in music, Hor
tense has started collecting classical
records, which is now a hobby of
Many Weddings
Follow Graduation
By SARAH MANGUM and
DAPHINE MAYTON
Naturally, graduation from Mere
dith is a big event in the life of any
“angel’.’ but many of this year’s
seniors will already have made their
choice for a “first mate” when they
“cast off their bark on the stormy
seas of Hfe.”
Yes, there will be a number of
weddings this summer and among
the first will be those of Ann Tun-
stall and June Vann on the fourth
of June. June will live in Atlanta,
Georgia, where her husband will
be stationed. On June 11, Mary
Elizabeth Delbridge will become
the bride of Saunders Blalock, and
on the following Wednesday, Pat
Allen will walk down the aisle with
her West Point cadet. After travel
ing west for the summer they will
leave for Europe.
The big day for Becky Barn-
hardt, Daphine Mayton, and Bebe
Correll will be June 18, after which
Becky will be living up north until
her husband goes in service.
Daphine will be traveling through
North and South Carolina with Bill
until the fall when he enters grad
uate school at N. C. State and
Daphine will begin teaching the
third grade. Bebe and Louis will
make their home in Baltimore,
Maryland, where Louis will be
working.
Other June brides will be Cyn
thia Mahlar, Katie Lee Currin, and
Majorie Stowes. Cynthia and Katie
Lee’s weddings will be on the 25th.
Cynthia and John live in Rocky
Mount where Cynthia will teach,
and we hear Katie Lee and Frank
are making big plans, too. Majorie
will become Mrs. Edwin Floyd on
the 26th and will live in Fairmont.
“Happy is the bride that the sun
shines on,” and chances are that
the July sun will really be beaming
on Kathleen Clemmons, Raye King,
and Hortense Wiggs. Kathleen and
Albert will live in Charleston, S. C.;
Raye and Dick in Fayetteville; and
Hortense and Bruce in Smithfield.
Annette Caudle, Mary Jon Ger
ald, Mary Lois Cadle, and Sarah
Mangum are going to wait until
August to meet their husbands at
the altar, and Ernestine Cottrell’s
marriage will depend on Uncle Sam!
Perhaps we have overlooked
someone but we hope not and to
all go our warmest “Best Wishes.”

hers.
Since Hortense’s piano recital
this year, she is frequently found
discussing her forthcoming mar
riage July 31. After graduation and
marriage, Hortense plans to teach
music in Smithfield where she plans
to live.
When Mary Dare Moore, Hor
tense’s roommate, was interviewed,
she said, “I can say Hortense is a
terrific person and a wonderful
roommate.”
Big Sister Breakfast
Given to Juniors
On Friday, May 13, the fresh
men entertained their big sisters at
a breakfast at the Chimney. The
girls rose early in order to go by
for their big sisters and get to the
breakfast by 7:15. The breakfast,
consisting of orange juice, ham,
grits and gravy, toast, doughnuts,
jelly, and coffee was served buffet
style. For entertainment, Marilyn
Strum and Juanita Swindler sang an
original composition. In spite of a
cold, drizzling rain, this traditional
affair was a delightful success.

We see:
That “7:30 look” at breakfast. . .
Bermudas drying on a limb . . .
suntans . . . boys on the tennis
courts (down girls!) . . . outside
vespers . . . Dr. Canady in his nylon

car lights in the grove, 11:55 p.m.
Saturday . . .
We hear:
The dreaded 7:15 bell . . . the
telephone (at last) . . . that he’s
dating “her” again . . . lunch bell
(love that iced tea) . . . the roaches
nibbling on Ritz crackers at 2:00

Tubbs no less . . . that the 12:00
class had a pop (the urge to
cut!) . . . alarm clocks . . . the roar
of a giant lawn mower ... an oc

We feel:
Trampled in the post office

THERrS MUSIC IN THE AIR
By ADAIR WHISENHUNT
This issue of the Twig is one in which we say farewell to the seniors.
Eight music majors will be graduating. Some of them will be getting
married this summer; others will begin teaching music or working in
church music; still others will be doing graduate work. Mary Dare Moore
will come back to Meredith next year to work for the Bachelor of Music
degree in piano. Congratulations are in order to Leah Scarborough who
has received a graduate scholarship to Peabody where she will study
music education. To those who are leaving we wish success in the future.
The Axworthy-O’Steen Duo-Piano Concert was excellent. In the
second part of the program contemporary music was featured. Many
modem composers are composing duo-piano music, and it is fortunate for
us that Miss Axworthy and Mr. O’Steen are interested in performing this
music.
David Pinnix presented a piano recital recently which demonstrated
that he is a musician to watch in the future, for the 14-year-old artist has
technical skill and clarity. His program which was made up of compo
sitions from each of the periods of musical composition showed him to be
a well-rounded performer.
To those who like violin music the Roman Totenberg Concert was a
highlight in a season of many excellent concerts. The combination of
virtuosity and feeling displayed by the Polish artist created a rare per
formance. The “Spring Sonata” by Beethoven and Mendelssohn’s “Violin
Concerto in E Minor” were particularly beautiful. An interview with the
artist showed him to have as much personality as talent—if the two
qualities can be compared.
The Commencement Concert of May 27 will include performances by
several junior and senior voice and piano majors. The Meredith College
Chorus will sing the following numbers: “Wake Thee Now, Dearest,” a
Czecho-Slovak Folksong; “Hymn to the Night,” by Donavan; “Fog,” by
Stone; “What a Plague Are Women,” by Kechley: and “The Magic
Hour,” by Read. You know from listening to any chorus member that
there has been a great deal of practice for this program which wiU be
well worth attending.
Dr. Cooper will give his annual Commencement Organ Recital on
Sunday, May 29. He is frequently asked to give concerts throughout the
State: just recently he played for the meeting of the American Guild of
Organists which was held in Charlotte. Knowing that there are many
visitors on the Meredith campus during Graduation week end, he always
plays a program which has appeal even to those who are not special
lovers of music. (If you think that was written because Dr. C. is our
major professor . . .!)
It’s time to say goodbye for the summer. It will be a busy one for
music majors who spend the whole summer practicing, naturally.
Until fall—then . . . ’bye.
