MISS BRANCH GIVES BRILLIM CONCERT Enthusiastic Audience Praises Piano Recital Given April 6 Organization of League Of Women Voters Here On Friday night, April 11, a chapter of the League of Women Voters was organized on the Meredith campus. This step is one of undoubted advancement on the part of the student body, and one in which the college takes pride, as only four college units are being established in North Carolina. These are to be located at Duke University, N. C. C. W,, the University of North Carolina, and Meredith. At the initial meeting Friday night Miss Keith, in direction, outlined the general plan of or ganization and work, which promises to be a program of un usual interest. The election of (Conlinuad on pagt tour) International Relations Club Holds Meeting The International Relations Club met Tuesday evening, April 1st. A joint meeting was held with the International Relations Club from State College. In formal discussions of military training in college, naval dis armament, and communistic government were held. The con tribution of Mr, Joe Moore to the first topic was especially helpful. Anne Simms spoke on the recent events which have taken place at the disarmament conference. Chloris Kellum dis cussed Russia and the Soviets. Miss Herndon gave an interest ing talk on Communism and Re ligion. The faculty concert given Sun day, April 6, attracted a large crowd that was enthusiastic in its praise. The concert, a piano recital givefi by Miss Vii'ginia Branch, was one of the most in teresting of the year. Miss Branch has before shown her ability as a pianist, and never had she played with more free dom, mastery, and assurance than she did in this recital. The program she selected was a difficult one, including numbers by Bach, Beethoven, and Liszt that made tremendous demands on Miss Branch's technique; but all difficulties seemed to be cast aside as she played. The opening number was Bach’s “Fantasia Cromatica,” which was played in such a man ner as to win the heary applause (Caniinuod on jinge tvo) Junior Class Entertains Seniors At Lovely Banquet Mrs. Norwood To Be Honored By Art Dept The Art Department is hon oring Mrs. Octavia Norwood, our beloved nurse, on April 24, by presenting to the college on that day an excellent portrait of her, painted by Miss Mary Til- jlery of the department. Dr. Delia Dixon-Carroll will present the portrait at the chapel hour, and there will also be expres sions of appreciation from fac ulty and students. It is hoped that many trustees and former students who know the valuable work Mrs. Norwood has done for the college will be present on that occasion. Program By Art Dept. Honoring Senior Class Monday evening, April 6, the Art Department presented a very picturesque program, hon oring the Senior Class. It con sisted of interpretations of both paintings and marbles cleverly portrayed by members of the Art Department and several from the student body. The in genious manner in which these creations were arranged height ened the feeling of admiration which prevails in regard to the professors of art. Miss Ida Po- teat and Miss Mary Tillery. The (Continued on page two) Meredith Home Ec. Girls Take Part In Style Show The eleventh annual North Carolina State College ■ Textile Exposition was held last week, and on the last day there was a style show in which girls from Meredith, N. C. C. W., and Peace competed. The dresses exhibited were made by the girls from the home economics departments of these various schools, and the fabrics were woven by the State College students of the Textile School. Meredith was well represented by over a dozen girls who mod eled dresses, and Ruth Britt won first place among the forty-one contestants. She was crowned “Exposition Queen” and was awarded a beautiful evening gown by a Raleigh merchant. She wore a green-and-white en semble with accessories of gray. Other Meredith girls who won places in the contest were Annie Mildred Herring, Billie Sapp, and Jo Broadwell. These received prizes, also donated by Raleigh merchants. oil pa{/a three) Mrs, Cooper Gives Talk On Woman Suffrage The feature of the chapel hour on Wednesday, April 9, was a talk by Mrs. Cooper, who was a prominent worker during the struggle for woman suffrage and who has since been a leader in the activities of the League of Women Voters. In her opening speech Mrs. Cooper spoke of the obstacles, in the way of prejudice and long- established precedents, which the women of the United States were compelled to overcome in their fight to secure for them selves the right of the franchise. Intense zeal and remarkable ca pabilities were among the quali ties which they showed during the struggle, and which went far toward proving their ability as citizens deserving the right to an active participation in the gov ernment of their country. Women, Mrs. Cooper asserted, are needed in politics, because fConUnufd on paffe two) Cookery Club Gives Dinner For Trustees Monday evening, April 14, at 6 o'clock, the Cookery Class 21, under the supervision of Miss Ellen Brewer, had as its guests the Board of Trustees at dinner in the dining-room of the Home Economics Department. Spring flowers and foliage were attractively used as decora tions, and a delicious four-course dinner was served. Competent waitresses were secured in Eliz abeth Apple and Frances Wat kins; the other members of the class had different duties, serv ing as cooks. This was one of the first en tertainments by the Cookery Class 21, although the Advanced Cooking Class has promoted sim ilar entertainments several times during the past year. This entertainment was one of the most successful, and was en joyed by everyone. Upperclass Guests Are Trans ported To Fairyland In the Light of a Blue Moon Tuesday night, April 15, the Junior Class entertained the sen iors at a. most delightful ban quet. The theme of the enter tainment was the fact that strange events occur “once in a blue moon,’’ That is how it came to be that the seniors were transported to the realm of Faerieland while the Blue Moon shed its light. Upon entering the dining-hall the guests beheld a blue crescent moon shining down on tables that were lit by blue tapers. Sil ver stars glinted from the ceil ing, that had miraculously be come skyhke. Butterflies ap peared to hover in the air. The scene was one of a woodland glade, for there were many shrubs and trees that added to the fairyland effect. The program which made known to the guests the plan for the evening was rainbow-hued. Upon the front there was a blue crescent and a most bewitching faerie. The program gave the unique names of the faerie food, which was enjoyed by all. The toasts given during the evening were: To THania’s Royalty—Ruth Phil lips. Response—Glennie Paul. To Oberon, King of the Faeries— Evelyn McCall. Response—Dr. Chaa. E. Brewer, To Puck and Robin Goodfellow— Nell Baker. RcspouBe—Mias Law rence. (CihiUnutd on pao* f^ur) Student Recital Very Interesting One of the most interesting numbers of the student recital Thursday afternoon, April 10, was the organ solo played by Leila Holding. The composition, "Melody in A Flat,” by Shelley, was a fitting opening number for the program, which otherwise included piano and voice num bers. The concluding number, too, “Staccato Caprice,” by Vogrich, played by Glennie Paul, was one of the best numbers on the pro gram. This was played with a great deal of fiery brilliance. The program was a short one, but each number was interesting and entertaining. The following numbers were given: Organ—Melody in A Plat Shelley Leila HoldiBg Plano—Petito Bolero Ravlnn Elizabeth Baucum Voice—Ecstasy Beach Allah Chadwick Bonnie Kate Hardin Piano—BaracoIIe in F Gado Mary Luclle Broughton Voice—Down in the Foreat....Ronald Little Barefoot : O’Hara Marguerite Mason Piano—Staccato Caprice Vogrlcl; Glennie Paul
