STUDENTS MEET
CHURCH LEADERS
The Baptist Student Union Coun
cil members were hostesses for an
informal “get acquainted” tea for
Raleigh church leaders and Meredith
students on September 19 from
4:30 to 5:30 in the afternoon in
the Blue Parlor. This tea was held
because the B.S.U. feels that in
order for students to work well in
churches new to them and for them
to get the most from their church
relationships it is helpful for the
students and the church leaders to
know each other early in the year.
Most of the churches which
Meredith students attend were rep
resented by their leaders, and they
received a warm welcome from
many Meredith students.
BSU Holds
Pre-School Retreat
Fourteen members of the Baptist
Student Union of Meredith CoUege
participated in a pre-school plan
ning retreat at Holden Beach Sep
tember 7-11. After meeting here at
school at noon on Friday, Sep
tember 7, the group traveled by
car and bus to the beach.
\ A full program of plans, reports,
worship and fellowship had been
previously planned by Nancy
Young, president of the Baptist Stu
dent Union. Each member of the
council gave her plans for the
coming year, and these plans were
improved through discussion by
the other members of the council.
On Monday, September 10, Miss
Miriam Hollis, associate director of
the North Carohna Baptist Student
^ Unions, joined the council. She gave
an over-all picture of plans for stu
dent participation throughout North
Carolina and the South for the
coming year.
Those attending the retreat were:
Miss Maxine Gamer, student ad
visor; Nancy Yourig, Nancy Joy
ner, Pat Kerley, Margaret Slate,

Awards Offer
Challenge to Fresh
Of the many awards made each
spring at graduation, three are es-
tabhshed exclusively for freshmen.
One of the purposes of these
awards is to encourage each fresh
man to strive to be worthy of them.
The Freshman Citizenship Award,
which was won by Mary Ann Dean
at Society Night last spring, is pre
sented to the freshman who shows
the finest traits of citizenship. It
was established in 1953 by Miss
Margaret Schwartz, then assistant
dean of students, in the interest of
promoting a spirit of Christian lead
ership and good character on the
Meredith campus. The award is
valued at $100.
The Kappa Nu Sigma Honor
Society awards of $100 scholarship
to the freshman with the highest
scholastic average. This award is
named in honor of Dr. Helen Price,
who was professor of Latin and
Greek at Meredith for many years.
Rosalie Weatherford won this award
last year.
To the freshman with the highest
average in mathematics, a book of
mathematical tables is presented by
the Chemical Rubber Company.
Mary Alice Cusack was the winner
last spring, and Emily Gilbert was
runner-up.

Summer Jobs Take Meredith
Girls All Over United States
The shouts of children, the tinkle
of glasses, the click of typewriters,
and a host of other sounds filled
the lives of several Meredith girls
in their jobs this past summer. Up
north in Stowe, Vermont, we see
Kay Banner working at The Lodge
as a waitress, along with boys and
girls from such colleges as Harvard,
Yale, Vassar and Smith. Along with
working hard, Kay enjoyed the fa
cilities of the resort where she came
in contact with celebrities such as
Faye Emerson, the brother of Aly
Khan and world ski champions.
Janncey Wellon’s summer job
took her to Brandon, Vermont,
where she worked at Camp
Awanee, a Jewish camp for girls.
Janncey served as music counselor
in charge of rehgious services,
weekly musicals and instructions
in music.
In northern Vermont at Camp
Farwell for girls, we find three more
Meredith girls — Sara Lee, Liza Cul
berson and Janet Fulcher. It was
interesting to discover that this camp
is owned by Liza’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Furlong. This summer Sara
served as head of the waterfront;
Janet put up the mail and kept
the camp store; and Liza was a
tennis instructor and counselor. On
their days off the threesome
traveled into Maine, New Hamp
shire, and Vermont.
Off the coast of Massachusetts
on Martha’s Vineyard, a small re
sort island, Edith Johnson worked
as a waitress during the summer.
This was her first trip away from
home, and she thoroughly enjoyed
going in to Boston and New York
where she visited the historical
points of interest, shopped and at
tended several Broadway plays.
Not only was the North invaded
by Meredith girls but also the West.
On a trip to the Southern Bap
tist Assembly in Glorietta, New
Mexico, Jane Stembridge became
interested in the Indian reserva
tions. She visited the Taos tribe who
stiU live in their 11th century pueb
los in the foothills of the Sangre de
Cristo Mountains. Then she toured
Arizona and New Mexico, visiting
the various Indian reservations and

studying their culture in natural sur
roundings. The climax of the trip
was a visit to the Grand Canyon
where Jane observed the life of an
Indian tribe who still dwell in the
foot of the canyon. On her return
to North Carolina, she stopped off
at the Cherokee reservation in the
western part of the state.
Coming on back to the South we
find Barbara Browning at Camp
Ton-A-Wandah in Hendersonville,
North Carolina. Barbara served as
a tennis instructor and a counselor
to eight-year-old girls. On her free
weekends, she took several inter
esting trips to Georgia and South
Carolina.
Also working in North Carolina
this summer was Margaret Paris,
who served as a counselor and
waterfront instructor at Camp Sky
Ranch in Blowing Rock. This is
the only camp this side of the Mis
sissippi for mentally and physically
handicapped children.
These summer jobs turned out
to be very interesting and educa
tional because of the valuable ex
perience obtained from meeting
and talking to people in different
sections of the United States. All
the girls had a wonderful time, but
they were glad to get back home
and to Meredith.
