I) Page four ‘ THE TWIG December 14, 1956 HOLIDAYS SPENT IN THE BIG CITY By KAY E. Thanksgiving holidays was a time of a wonderful trip for Jeanne Grea- lish, Susan Moss, and me. Meeting Mrs. Russell Anstett ,and joined by Cathy Atkins, we spent a glorious holiday in the metropolis of New York City. Our mode of transpor tation afforded an exhilarating ex perience — we flew! ft was my first trip “up,” and it was — well, “flying” is the only word to des cribe the sensation. Staying at the Abbey Hotel, we were a block from Radio City and a block and a half from Broad way. We saw the fabulous show at Radio City Music Hall with its mcllow-toned organ appearing sud- dently from within the wall, its or chestra rising from the floor, and its beautifully lighted auditorium. The ballet and the Rockettes gave us different kinds of dance well done, and after that we enjoyed the movie Friendly Persuasion. Observe United Nations The trip was educational as well as entertaining. We toured the beautiful United Nations’ Building, and sat in on a plenary ^session of the General Assembly while the Suez crisis was being discussed. An Egyptian delegate spoke that day, among other speakers, and it was very interesting to listen to the interpretations of the speeches through the headphones provided. Tour Metropolitan Museum An afternoon in the Metropoli tan Museum of Art was a pleasure JOHNSON and a privilege. 1 feel that I know a little about European paintings from spending practically the whole afternoon in that section of the mu seum. Just that tiny brush with “culture” has'brightened my whole outlook towards art and has given me a curiosity to learn about the things I saw. Visit Churches and Cathedrals Sightseeing and window shopping took us to Fifth Avenue and some of the magnificent cathedrals and beautiful churches of the city. Among the sanctuaries we visited were* St. Patrick, St. John, St. Thomas, and Fifth Avenue Presby terian. Feelings of awe, splendor, and reverence prevailed. Thanksgiving service we attended at the Fifth Church of Christ, Scien tist. We attended the beautiful Riverside Church on Sunday morn ing. The sermon by Dr. McCracken, the organ music by Virgil Fox, and the ethereal presentations of the choir were very inspiring. On Sun day afternoon Haydn’s Creation was presented by the choir of St. Bartholomew. Miss Jean Swanson, in New York studying on a Danforth Scholarship, sent her regards to everyone. We ate lunch on Sunday with her at the International House where she lives. See Broadway Plays Everything about the trip was wonderful, but the highlights, to me, were plays we saw in the legitimate theaters. Behind the Seenes . . . We recognize Molly James It always hurts, I think to try reducing something very big, some thing almost undefinable into a mass of arbitrarily chosen words. This hurts especially when you feel so deeply that a person really “has something” within that others should be made to appreciate. She is a junior (that in itself is — I’m prejudiced?!) who spends much time in the music building working toward that major in public school music or . . . attending the meetings of the honorary music fra ternity (i.e. S A I!!) She holds one of the most de manding, ever-present (and per haps least appreciated), jobs on campus as chairman of Vespers. This is a function of the Devotional Vice-President of B.S.U. which of fice she carries out with dedication and concentrated effort. Upholding the opinions of those who awarded her the freshman scholarship, she maintains high scholastic averages, often is named on the dean’s list, does consistently good work for the public relations office, and serves as president of her Sunday school class. Then — for “leisure” (what is it?) she sews, listens to Debussy and Rachmaninoff, and takes the room apart looking for dead rats! There’s more. . . . she also plans JOB APPLICATIONS — ANNOUNCEMENTS PHOTOGRAPHS & PORTRAITS MAY NOW BE ORDERED FROM YOUR 1957 ANNUAL NEGATIVES ANNOiInCEMENT —WEDDING FORMALS AND CANDIDS OF WEDDINGS OUR SPECIALTY WALLER STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHERS 126’/2 Fayetteville Street DIAL TE 4- 733 1 Raleigh, N.
