HOW TO FI^D THEM:
Summer Brides
By SUE MATZNER
Naturally everyone is interested
in who is marrying whom, when,
and where. Since this reporter is no
exception, I started my quest on
' the Brewer-Faircloth side of court.
I felt this side would be a more re
warding field since the upperclass
men live there. As I went down the
halls asking “Is anyone in this suite
getting married this sunlmer?” I
received two answers: Sigh, “I am,”
with an accompanying starry-eyed
look or “HAH”!! Needless to say,
^ I beat a hasty retreat in such cases
as the latter.
However I found an alarming
number of people getting married
! this summer. That is, it is alarming
for “old maids” like me. Like a typi
cal cub reporter, pad and pen in
hand, I eagerly began my assign
ment. On first Brewer I found that
Ruth Oliver will become the bride of
Benny Herrin some time in August
in Southern Pines. Pat Greene is
marrying Jim Long in June in Cliff-
side. On June 5 Nancy Long will
' become Mrs. Jack Stouffer in Cum-
’ berland, Maryland. The big day for
Bessie Codas is July 13, when she
will marry Andy Roupas in Hen
derson.
With such wonderful results on
first, I bounded up to second Brewer.
• Here I discovered that Justus Am
mons will claim Jo Ellen Williams
as his bride on July 7 in Monroe.
Peggy Jo Williams is marrying John
Garrett on July 20 in Black Moun
tain. On June 15, in Rocky Mount,
. Mary Ann Braswell will take her
' vows with Jim Lawrence. Margaret
Steward will become the bride of
Ronnie Brewer on August 4 in High
Point. June 9 is the big day for Marie
Peele and Raymond Robertson, who
will be married in Williamston. Kitzi
Miller and Bill Bocook are getting
married on June 15 in Asheville.
Kitty Holt will become the bride of
George Robinson on June 22 in
Greensboro.
After this deluge I decided to
cross to second Faircloth. When I
^ reached the breezeway, I found my
self facing another deluge, in other
‘ words, a typical Raleigh rain. Never
theless, I soon forgot my soaking
feet when I learned that Mary Long
is marrying Doug Spencer in July
in Texas. On August 24 Gerry Par
ham will become the bride of Harold
^ Ritter in Robbins. The big day for
Elaine Burleson is August 25, when
she will marry Bob Clarke in Mor-
ganton. Bells will be ringing for Ann
Harrison on July 13, when she will
marry John Ed Seiler in Sweetwater,
Tennessee. On August 31, in Four
Oaks, Mary Lou Lee will take her
vows with Leroy Parker. Elizabeth
Baxter is marrying Douglas Stover
on August 24 in Gastonia. On Au
gust 10 Alice Lancaster will become
* the bride of Jim Harrill in Raleigh.
Jan Mercer will become Mrs. Andy
Mason on June 2 in Beaufort. Bar
bara Martin is marrying Julius
Compton on July 27 in Durham.
By this time my enthusiasm was
beginning to lag, but I wearily
trudged up to third Faircloth. The
effort was not in vain. In August
Gail Diggs will marry Billy New-
some in Hampton, Virginia. Bells
will be ringing for Betsy Hooks on
June 16 when she will marry Leroy
Johnson in Freemont.
I braved the storm once more
and arrived in a somewhat battered
condition on third Brewer. There I
discovered that Laurie Kee’s wed
ding will be in July in Manteo, where
she will marry Wilson Jones. Carole
Bennett will take her vows with
Larry Gilland on September 7 in
Charlotte. Suretha Knott and
Francis W. Norris will walk down
the aisle together on September 1
in Oxford. Danville, Virginia, will
be the scene of the wedding of Lois
Martin and Jim Roberts on June 9.
Sadly in need of refreshment I
went to the first floor breezeway and
got a Coke. Then I suddenly realized
that I had one source left untouched
—first Faircloth. So tossing the Coke
bottle at the rack I entered and
learned that Betsy Bullock and
Benny Currin will have their wed
ding in Oxford in August. Ruth Put
nam will marry Clarence Griffin on
July 13 in Cherryville. Betsy Turner
and Ed Thigpen will get married in
Raleigh on August 25. Having ex
hausted myself and my supply of
paper I quit for the night.
The next evening I ventured
across court to fresh fields. Here I
received different reaction as I
entered the rooms. The occupants
gave me a startled look and asked
what they had done now. Does every
upperclassman look like S.G.? Any
how after we got that straightened
out, I got down to facts and found
the same situation over here. On
first Stringfield Corny Waller is
marrying W. C. Adams on Septem
ber 1 in Mount Olive. Ef Avette
will take her vows with Fred Wood
on August 3 in Hamlet.
After my reception on first I de
cided to try a more scientific ap
proach on second. I asked the hall
proctor and learned that Becky Tur
ner will become the bride of Charles
Gillespie on June 9 in Pink Hill.
Wedding bells will be ringing for
Shirley Jones and Pete White on
June 6 in Winston-Salem. Neither
third Stringfield nor third Vann had
any forthcoming weddings but I
guess three flights of stairs several
times a day is enough for anybody.
Last, but certainly not least as
far as weddings are concerned, was
second Vann. There I found that
June 8 is the big day for Mary Lou
Grant, when she will marry David
Rozierbeam in Schoharie. Peggy
Flynn will become Mrs. Joe Ham
rick on June 22 in Chimney Rock.
In August Catherine McDonald will
become the bride of Jim Ingram in
Raefbrd. Jackie Little’s wedding will
be in Ayden, where she will marry
Ted Jones on July 28. On June 31
Tommy Worrell will marry Charles
Noblin in Colerain.
I am sure what is left of the Mere
dith student body along with the
Twig staff wishes all of these girls
our very “Best Wishes.”

POOL DAZE
By CYNTHIA DENNY
Looking for a spot to cool off,
bake (call it getting a suntan if you
will) or study and chat with friends?
If you haven’t found just the place,
here’s a suggestion.
Follow the little path that runs
beside Stringfield and through the
little grove and across the railroad
tracks—yes, it is all right to go to
the “other side of the tracks”—pro
ceed dead ahead ,and there you are.
A wire fence surrounds the goal.
Splashing sounds, happy chatter,i
music and “I bid one no trump”
come wafting over the fence.
On the inside is the POOL! Yes,
this is the spot to live in—if you can
find a place. Stretched out on the
grass, at the pool’s edge, in the pool,
and in all other convenient spots are
Meredith girts. Some study, some
just read, some play bridge, and
some swim and float in the azure
depths. (Ha.)
This oasis has rules made for the
welfare of all. Bottles cannot be
brought inside the fence. (No cans
either.) No smoking is allowed.
(This includes pipes.) Bathing caps
must be worn while one is in the
water.
The lifeguards are Meredith girls
with senior lifesaving certificates.
They keep tender, loving vigilance
over all from eleven in the morning
until five on some afternoons and
three on others.
Don’t fight that hydrophilic urge.
Go and become part of the life by
the edge of the pool.
McQUIRE CONCERT
CONSIDERED SUCCESS
By JANICE MORGAN
Raymond McGuire closed a beau
tiful concert with the every popular
“Drink to Me_ Only With Tbine
Eyes”; yet for a lucky few there was
more to come. For after the back-
stage hustle and bustle dwindled
down, “Mickey” sang Rudolpho’s
Aria from La Boheme for Dr.
Wallace.
This easy-going friendly tenor was
well received by the Meredith au
dience. Hiss well-rounded program
cdntained a variety of selections de
signed to please any taste. There was
an extra helping of melodious, sen
sitive love songs which were particu
lar favorites with the audience.
“Mickey” had a long line of fans
waiting to thank him and congratu
late him after the concert. He had
a friendly smile for all and was high
in his praise of “. . . the wonderful
hall and the responsive audience.”

Behind the Scenes
We Recognize
Nancy McGlamery
By LELA CAGLE
Behind the gentle smiles and quiet
words of a certain young lady hides
a versatile personality well known
behind the scenes at Meredith as
Nancy McGlamery. Nancy’s talents
range from creative writing to being
able to bicycle ride longer than any
one else without stopping. The
“writing bug” really seems to keep
her going as chairman of the Cre
ative Writing Club, feature editor of
the 1956-1957 Twig, and next year’s
assistant editor of the Twig, and
B.S.U. publicity editor for 1957-58.
Nancy has had a poem published in
the Acorn and has won honorable
mention for contest material for the
Baptist Student.
Nancy’s interests are not limited
to the field of writing, however; she
has been Listen Chairman for B.S.U.
and teaches a Sunday school class
at Pullen. One of her favorite ques
tions now is “Can you play bridge?”
Although bridge is supposed to be a
game for intelligent people, Nancy
insists on learning how. Nancy loves
horses and all men except Elvis
Prpsley, especially his rock and roll
records played ardently every night
by her suitemates.
Next summer holds many new
experiences for Nancy at Martha’s
Vineyard in New England, where
she was accepted as one of 39 girls
to take part in a Y.W.C.A. Leader
ship Conference.
Being an English major and very
faithful in her many jobs keeps
Nancy burning the midnight oil.
This tall Scotch lass from Greens
boro is a friend of all who know her
and well deserves recognition for her
work behind the scenes of Meredith
College.
The Fifth Columnist
By PEANUT
His next stop is Stamford, Con
necticut, where he will again sing
for a school group. When asked
about his future plans, he replied,
“I’m planning to do some profes
sional concertizing.” With a laugh
he added, “. . . probably at a bean
ery somewhere!”
We dopbt that, “Mickey.” At any
rate we’ll be glad to have you come
back and sing for us.

Making friends is one of the most
pleasant pastimes a person can de
velop. An interesting experience is
to get to know someone with whom
you have only been acquainted be
fore and find that, while you thought
you disliked the person, she is actu
ally very pleasing. May I, at this
point, challenge you to get to know
some of these people you don’t like.
Individuals are too important to be
disliked.
Often we get so involved in our
own small little lives that we cannot
see the contributions that other peo
ple have to offer. It is really exciting
to meet a new personality who can
inject refreshing talents and intel
lectual insights into a dull com
munity. You’ve probably seen it,
happen yourself, that a stagnant
group of stalemates were put on the
active list again through the per
sonality of a newcomer. However,
without seeking to draw tears to
your already burning eyes, I men
tion here a bit of human life that
cannot be neglected—we cannot
keep our friends forever. It is so
easy to become attached to and de
pendent upon an individual, but we
must be reminded that someday
the close communication must be
severed. It is at this point that I ques
tion the wisdom of close relations. I
wonder in meditation if the friend
ship is worth the anxiety of losing
the relation.
At this graduation time, our
thoughts most naturally drift toward
such sentimental thoughts. Even
seeking to avoid this attitude, I must
say a word of farewell to those
whose presence will not grace our
hallowed halls as in the past. This
farewell is bade not to seniors alone,
but to all of you who must—of ne
cessity or by choice—be elsewhere
next year. May I advise against any
foolish or hasty undertakings which
may ultimately prove to be less de
sirable than the situation you have
now. And when you return (for you
will return) you may very well see
not just “hallowed halls,” but “hal
lowed halls of ivy.”
