Page four THE TWIG September 30, 1955 Behind the Scenes We Recognize Barbara Southworfh By BARBAR.\ SNIPES Barbara Southworth, a senior re ligion major from Culpepper, Vir ginia, is known around the Meredith campus for her interest in church work and her outstanding activities in the field of religion. She has been very active in religious affairs. That is proved by her work as program chairman of the B.T.U. at the First Baptist Church and president of the Training Union this year. Along with these offices she is worship chairman of the Y.W.A. Rovilla Meyers, Barbara’s room mate for two years, says, “She is full of ideas for any form of stunt or program, and she has taken a great interest in school affairs.” Bar bara is now president of the Free man Religion Club and secretary of her Senior Class. This sweet, friendly girl, who can stir up a jolly bit of nonsense when she likes, is undecided about her future vocation after graduation— whether it will be social work or re ligious educational work she does not know. We know that whatever Barbara decides, she will always do her best and make many friends. COLLEGE BLUES By BETSY TIPPETT, ’56 “I wish I was home, I wish I was dead,” Each morning I think As I crawl out of bed. 1 go down to breakfast. Oh, Life, it’s so sad. I see millions of people. Am I going mad? I go back to my room And chew on a chair. Fm vitamin deficient. And losing my hair. The assignments I have Don’t-add to my joy And I’ve almost forgotten Just what is a boy! The troubles in college Nobody could know — But honest and truly I do love it so! COMING EVENTS Com Huskin’ Bee October 28 Founders’ Day ...November 1 First Playhouse Production November 11, 12 Stunt Night November 18 Thanksgiving Recess begins November 23 Classes resume November 28 Kitchen Employee Succumbs Amelia Hall Graham, 38, a member of the kitchen staff in the dining hall, died on August 25 as the result of a cerebral hemorrhage and an illness of approximately two weeks. Mrs. Graham, who had been on the staff here at Meredith for five years, is survived by one son. Although a native of Laurinburg, N. C., she made her home here in Washington Terrace and was a member of the Tupper Memorial Baptist Church. Amelia’s pleasant smile and cheery greeting will be missed by both the students and faculty. Barbara, taking time out from a busy day. LETS SING In case you’d like a copy of the words to the songs that “Mutt” Layne taught us in chapel yester day, here they are. Let’s learn them so we can really say we are Mere dith angels! “Queen of Our Hearts” You’re the queen of our hearts, Alma Mater, You hold a place that no other can fill. Each year in passing has found us And draws us closer still. Like the sun in the east when ’tis rising, A new day is dawning for thee. Through the sunshine and tears Of our dear college years. You’re the queen of our hearts, Alma Mater. “Me/edith, Our Alma Mater” Meredith, our Alma Mater, we lift our hearts in praise. To tell of the old, old story of happy college days. You mean so much to each of us. You are our guiding star always. You lead us on the upward way with your ever-shining rays. “Rah, Rah, Rah, It’s Meredith for Me.” Rah, rah, rah, it’s Meredith for me! Rah, rah, rah, we’ll ever loyal be! We’ll keep on striving through our college days To serve her and to spread her fame always. Rah, rah, rah, we’ll carry on for her. Rah, rah, rah, her efforts we will spur. Wher’er we go we’ll sing her praise, Meredith, hip, hip, hooray!

The new school year finds the Music Building the center of activity for eleven senior music majors who must give recitals in their particular fields before graduating. The pro gram of graduation recitals will be varied this year with four organ, three voice, three public school music, and one piano major giving recitals. A lot of hard work goes into preparation for a recital, and it is doubtless very discouraging when the artist walks out on the stage to find only a handful of people in the audience. Let’s try to show more interest in these programs this year for they will help us as well as our presence will help the performer. The Raleigh Civic Music pro gram for this season seems from a look at the schedule to be one of the best ever, with many different phases of the musical world to be presented. Here is the program: Nov. 10—Rudolf Firkusny, pianist Dec. 1—St. Cecilia Choir from Rome (the oldest choir in the world, begun in 1566) Jan. 19—Ballet Theater Feb. 13—Nathan Milstein, violinist Feb. 23—Mozart Festival Group ROY’S ADLER'S of Raleigh Welcomes You Back To Raleigh Two Stores Cameron Village and Downton Fayetteville Street SHOES • SPORTSWEAR • DRESSES Patronize Our Advertisers Uzzles’ Soda Shop Below Varsity Theater A Good Place To Meet and Eat 2412 Hillsboro St. Phone 4-9392 J- -FRIDAY & SATURDAY- ALAN LADD — IN — "SHANE" IN TECHNICOLOR V .r -STARTS SUNDAY- CURK GABLE — IN — 'SOLDIER OF FORTUNE" IN CINEMASCOPE ^ Open Weekdays At 2:45 VARSITY THERE'S MUSIC IN THE AIR By ADAIR WfflSINHUNT PVIG Wins Honor Rating We proudly announce that the Twig won a third-class honor rat ing in the fifty-second National Newspaper Critical Service of the Associated Collegiate Press, given last spring at the University of Min nesota School of Journalism.
