SEPTEMBER 2, IMl 1981 mcredtth Abroad THE TWIG PAGE 3 Students experience an unforgettable summer by J ill Kibler and LIbb Ponder It is hard to describe how it felt to be in the most popular city in the world for the summer of 1981. After we paid our dues with tots of hard work for two weeks on the Meredith campus, the Meredith Abroad group arrived in London on June 13. 1981. The group, composed of 43 students, three faculty members (Dr. Crook, Dr. Frazier, Dr. Samson), and one spouse (Mrs. Crook), were not discouraged by the 22 hour delay in New York City caused by the air traffic controllers strike at Heathrow Airport in London. We made it just in time to witness the pageantry of London at “Trooping The Colour,” the Queen’s official birthday celebration. During our seven-week stay in London, we were able to take advantage of the sports and cultural activities centered there. The avid tennis fans made it to Wimbledon. The theatre buffs raced to National Theatre productions as well as musicals including My Fair Lady and Annie. The musicians among us enjoy^ concerts of music composed by Beethoven, William Byrd, and Tchaikovsky. A special treat for some were the spectacular performances during the Nureyev Festival. Scholarship Recipients announced Recognizing new students with outstanding ability and talent, Meredith welcomes to the student body recipients of the colleges four most competitive scholarships: The Julia Hamlet Harris Scholarship, the Meredith Merit Scholarship, the Music- Talent Scholarship, and the A.J.

Golf team (Continued from Page 1) Sioux City, summed it up in one word - ‘Elated.’ President Weems informed by telephone. ‘Buy ’em a steak!”’ And how does it feel to play in a National Championship? Luann Johnson summed it up this way: “Each golfer was filled with the excitement that accompanies a long-sought dream that has become a reality. Golf equals hard work - endless hours on the practice tee, numerous strokes on the putting green, hot afternoons on the golf course, and the will Sxisan Donm Patrlda Denise Patty Loretta Patzlcia SuBBn Mary Anne Betty Susan We are the women who make The FLemiDg Center suoh a spealal place, providing prompt peraonal pattentrorlented oare to wdmm draQ ages.

Besides the British Museum, we explored the London Museum, the Natural History Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. A tour through the National Gallery, the Natimal Portrait Gallery, and the Tate Gallery, caused us to gasp in recognition at the many well- known paintings by J.M.W. Turner, Constable, Van G^h, and Rembrandt. London was a sightseer’s delight with trips to the Tower of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum, the Houses of Parliament, and Speakers' Comer. Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, and Trafalgar Square became familiar sights as students rode the double decker buses throu^ London. The tube offered expensive, but quick and easy transportation to all points. A cheaper mode of transporation was by foot- this was possible because of our location near Hyde Paric, Harrod’s, and Kensington Palace. No visit to London is complete without many shopping trips to famous stores such as Harrod’s, Liberty’s, Laura Ashley’s, and Convent Garden. Tea was a British custom enjoyed by all of us. Whether at the Ritz, the Savoy, Fortnam and Mason's, or the nearby Muffin Man, the savory English blends and delicate pastries were welcome treats. Though London captivated our attention, our group took excursions to Canterbury, Winchester, the Cotswolds, Stone Henge, Oxford, and Stratford-upon* Avon. Students also travelled in small groups to Scotland, Southern Ireland, Wales, Paris, Germany, and Sweden during our long weekend break. The day that we all looked forward to and which made our trip complete was July 29, 1981, the day of the Royal Wedding. A few brave souls camped out along the wedding route and saw Prince Charles, Lady Diana, and other members of the Royal Family firsthand. The rest of the group enjoyed it on television. The wedding excitement was a perfect storybocrtc ending to our unforgettable stay in London. to succeed. And what is gained? The golden (^portunity for which one has strived • that moment of glory one feels when the final score appears on the scoreboard and an individual knows that it is he who has fulfilled his wish and achieved his goal. The trip to the National Championship was a profitable experience. It was a celebration of the honor of being chosen to represent one’s college nationally. Determination ..., a team effort..., the desire to succeed .... that’s what led us to our second-place finish.” C.C.A. Film Series 1981-82 Ail films wili be shown In Cate Center.
