r Meredith's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
By Waded Fayed
“Hark, the Meredith Angels shout,
Two more days ‘ti! we get out!”
As if this were not evidence enough
of an impending event of great im
portance, there have been other
small clues which would seem to in
dicate that the advent of the Christ-
mas season is well-nigh upon us.
Doors have been enlivened with
bright foil, sparkling wreaths, and
the robust figures of the familiar
Santa Claus. Gaily wrapped pack
ages appear and then disappear,
while whispered conferences are
held. Johnson Hall takes on a
cozy air with its lighted tree.
The usually hustle and bustle
of the dining hall stalT has been in
creased to a feverish pace. For
Meredith students, this means that
party frocks and manners which are
reasonably acccptable must be taken
from the dark recesses of the closet
and dusted off. Then on December
18, 1964, at 6:00 p.m., the climax
of this hectic period will take place
with the annual Christmas banquet,
which is to be held in the dining
hall. At this time, the Meredith
family will gather for the traditional
dinner of roast turkey and country
ham, which will be served buffet
style. Invited as guests are the Ex
ecutive Committee of the Board of
Trustees and the Faculty Adminis
trative Council, as well as the Presi
dent of the Alumnae Association
and the President of the Wake
County Alumnae Association.
Planned by Oi^anizations
In anticipation of this event, prep
arations were begun several weeks
earlier, under the combined super
vision of Margaret Simons, Student
Activities Chairman, and the office
of the Dean of Students. Under
their direction, various tasks were
delegated. The Student Government
Association issued invitations, while
the Meredith Christian Association
was given responsibility for the pro
gram, and the Athletic Association
planned the decorations.
Without question, much praise
and appreciation must be reserved
for the dining hall staff. With the
aid of Mrs. Holler, Mrs. Thorne,
and Mrs. Rice, special attention and

care are given to each detail of the
preparation. Each task is performed
willingly and cheerfully, in order
that the banquet might be a success.
Special recipes have been used for
the occasion, and new dishes, in ad
dition to old and familiar ones, have
been created. The dining hall has
been transformed by the presence
of the traditional Christmas tree in
all of its splendor and the wreaths
and gadands.
Campbell to Light Candle
fn addition to the festive decora
tions and the satisfying food, the
banquet will be an occasion of spirit
ual nourishment as well as physical.
At this time, Dr. Carlyle Campbell
will light the last candle of the Ad-

be presented by Elizabeth Holland,
The meal will proceed to the ac
companiment of background music.
One of the highlights of the eve
ning will come when the Meredith
Ensemble presents a medley of
Christmas favorites. Under the di
rection of Miss Beatrice Donley, the
Ensemble is composed of Cindy
Swayne, Sarah Parker Martin, Janet
Grogan, Crystal Hartness, Polly
Finan, Nileen Hunt, Charlotte Bur
gess, Margaret Simmons, Linda
Frederick, Charlotte Mitchell, Joan
Thompson, Agnes Yelton, Elizabeth
Holland, and Nancy Bulfaloe. They
will enchant their audience with
their rendition of popular tunes such
as “Winter Wonderland” and “Sleigh
Ride.” For variety, they will include
in their selections songs which will
be unfamiliar to the majority of the
students. And with this, the annual
Christmas banquet will come to a
swift end, with very little left ex
cept warm and fond memories.
Notice: Mr. A. B. Hillcy, the storing
manager for the dining hall of Mere
dith College, has been a patient at
Rex Hospital for several weeks.
