1 A November 16, 1956 THE TWIG Page three Improvements Made in Day Students’ Room By BECKY SURLES As the day students walked into their first room in Johnson Hall in September they were pleasantly sur prised to see that there had been many improvements made since last year. The room had a new look that was welcomed by all. It seems that Gwen Maddrey, day student president, did some fancy talking to Mr. Belcher, who finally agreed that day students are a pretty im portant group and that something needed to be done to improve the looks of the two rooms that they occupy during the day. New Furnishings Supplied • The redecorating included Vene tian blinds for both rooms, a new lamp, two new lamp shades, new drapes for the first room, new covers for the seats and a picture rented for one year from the art depart ment. The other covers and drapes were dry cleaned, so that every thing was gleaming and fresh for another year. As is characteristic of so many women, we decided to move the furniture in another po sition. (This happens quite fre quently, too.) And last, but not least, we finally got our pencil sharpener repaired! Only a day stu dent can know how to appreciate this. Why don’t , yon stop in to see us some day, and then you can look the rooms over? Mr. Belcher says that one day we will have tile floors. This is something to look forward to. Thanksgiving Project Planned The day students’ plans for Thanksgiving include donating food to a needy family suggested by the welfare organization. The idea is that each girl bring some sort of canned food or other non-perishable articles. Boxes will be provided in the rooms to put these in. This is the first project that the day stu dents have worked on together this year, and if things go well, we hope to set this up as a regular project for future Thanksgivings. NEW ART CLUB FORMED ON CAMPUS PLANS FOR ART PROGRAM DISCUSSED In the past years, a great need has been felt for an art club at Meredith. Students have met before, but a standing club was never formed. Recently, Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Gaboda met with the idea of or ganizing an art club. They spoke to art majors and other interested people who felt the need for a club For the past mbnth or so this idea has been discussed and worked on. Finally, a meeting was held on the 18 th of October when temporary committees were set up. Since then a number of meetings were held by both committees to make plans. The executive committee has written a number of national honorary art so cieties to explore the possibility of establishing a chapter at Meredith. The program committee, with Mr. Gaboda as advisor, worked out a temporary program for the re mainder of the year. Three major areas were con sidered as part of the over-all pro gram. Fhst, major monthly events are to be based upon the fields of visual arts, dance, literature, edu cation, and other related fields, which would be both educational and entertaining for both art ma jors and non-majors. Second, there will be studio works. Most of the members agreed that it would be very deshable if an art studio could be held one night a week in order to explore painting, drawing and other art expressions. At these times, art club members and non-members will be welcome to come and use the facilities. An art instructor will be present in the studio to work with and assist all participants. Third, the club will have regu lar social functions, consisting of guided trips to the museum and the BAPTISTS MEET (Continued from page one) dress was presented by the Honor able Raymond Gary, Governor of Oklahoma. Dr. H. Grey Moore, Fort Worth, Texas, brought the con cluding message at the Wednesday night session. The address for Thursday morning was given by Dr. John M. Lewis, director of Radio and Television Commission. town galleries, and other social ac tivities. The first major event is scheduled for Monday, November 19, at 8:00 p.m. in the Hut. Mr. James Byrnes, the associate director of the N. C. Museum of Art, will discuss the sig nificance of the museum’s major ex hibition of the season — “Rem brandt and His PupUs.” Home Economics Association Holds Meeting in Winston Miss Brewer, Miss Hanyen, and Home Economics Club representa tives Joyce Herndon, Betty Smith and Helen Bone, attended the meet ing of the North Carohna Home Economics Association in Winston- Salem on November 2 and 3. Following this meeting, Joyce Herndon, president of the North Carolina College Clubs, and Miss Brewer, advisor, met with the ex ecutive committees of that organiza tion to make further plans for the year’s work. On October 30, Miss Pauline Gordon, extension speciahst in housing and home furnishings at State College, spoke to the Home Economics Club on various methods of drying flowers and the types of flowers and leaves to dry. She dem onstrated some arrangements, using driftwood, com tassels, magnolia leaves and burs from evergreens. Mixed Eitiotions Mark Move to New Building By NANCY JOYNER It was a joyous Monday morning when we paraded into Joyner Hall and scurried about to find the right room. There is something about en tering a brand-new building that is hard to explain. It’s like tearing the wrappings off the biggest present under the tree. There is such a clean, fresh-paint smell, and your steps echo so grandly in the marble halls, and the desk tops are so very smooth. It’s thrilling to be the first group to use the new building that Meredith has waited so long for, and which we hope will stand her in good service for longer than the other building has done. We are fortunate, too, in having experi enced the old building, for the con trast is terrific. The contrast sticks out in a hun dred ways. In the old building the floors sagged, and in the winter we were always either too hot or too cold, and there was never enough light on dark days. The pictures that hung on the walls in no semblance of order and the paintings on the glasses-of the doors were anything but modern. “Downright tacky,” a stranger would say. “Downright lived-in,” we would answer back under our breaths, for we were ashamed of it even as we loved it. We had the same sort of feehng toward it that we would have about a country cousin, not quite eager to introduce it to newcomers, but still very fond of it. It was dear be cause of its very age and famiharity, if nothing else. As I write this, I am sitting in one of those “horrid” cane-bottom chairs in Room 18 of the Arts Build ing. Already there are ghosts. There is a musty smell about it, and the chahs are in disorder. The books and pictures are gone, but the cur tains are stiU up, and nobody took the time to erase the blackboards. The old building has been deserted, and soon it will disappear com pletely from the campus. We are extremely proud of the new building, and justly so. But it will take a long time for Joyner HaU to acquire the comfortable and settled air that our permanently' temporary building has had.

At 6:00 in the morning they got up and trudged westward through the misty, early morning air. They had reached their point of depar ture when torrents of water poured from the skies. They waited for what seemed hours and would have waited even longer, but their sup plies had dwindled to nothing. They returned home. They attempted another trip and another, but each time were driven back by the never- ceasing rains. The fourth venture was successful. The morning was clear; the air was crisp; and spirits were high. They mounted their horses at the stable and galloped defiantly to their destination. If you haven’t guessed by now, let it be known that the “they” above does not refer to Daniel Boone’s party, nor that of George Rogers Clark. The people involved in what resembled a scouting expedition were about 18 members of the Hoof- print Club attending one of their favorite events, the dramatic break fast ride. As mentioned above, they tried three times unsuccessfully to make the ride, but bad weather prevented their doing so. On Tues day, November 6, they were delightfully surprised with fair weather, and from all reports it was quite a pleasant occasion. Three girls rode ahead on a truck to fix breakfast for the others. The other fifteen girls enjoyed ham and eggs, toast burnt only slightly, juice, cof fee and jelly. The site of the break fast was about four miles from Meredith at Mr. Morton’s cabin. Cooking, eating and general fri volity was outside around an open fire. The event was highlighted by what would ordinarily be considered a terrible misfortune. It seems that Miss Caspari’s horse was clumsy in his stride and caused a most em barrassing situation. •'s S-V'-'V ■ £:0O'->Trrv...
