ELECT MELBA HUNT
PRESIDENT OF B. S. U.
Other Council Members for
Next Year Chosen
Surely one of the most capable
girls who could be had for Presi
dent of Meredith’s Baptist Stu
dent Union is Melba Hunt. Al
though she has not served direct
ly on the B. S. U» council before,
Melba has proved her initiative
and ability for Baptist Student
work through the medium of B.
Y. P. U. There Melba has fallen
in and taken hold of tlie smaller
things, and in time, the larger
until she has accomplished much
in religious work.
Mamie Chambers was elected
first vice president of the B. S.
U., while “Speck” Harris, who
served as treasurer of the B. S.
U. this past year in an excellent
way, was elected as second vice
president. Kate Allison, state
B. S. U. president, will act as
secretary, and Katherine Blay
lock as treasurer. Emily Miller,
who served as publicity director
during the past year, was re
elected to the same post. As
officers and leaders of the unit
organization Marguerite Warren
was elected Y. W. A. president;

Gaynelle Hinton Presents
Successful Piano Recital
As a special feature of their
meeting on April 1 the Helen
Hull Law Classical Club made a
Cook’s Tour of Hades. Lucy
Glenn Gill, as the “man from
Cook’s,” was the guide for the
party which crossed a river of
sticks instead of Styx. Sarah
Eli'zabeth Vernon made a very
novel Tcsiphane, wearing one of
the senior graduating black
gowns and having for her snaky
locks iris leaves. Since it was
April 1, many of the celebrities
of Hades were celebrating and
were away at a night club. But
the more famous inhabitants were
hosts to the party. Sisyphus
was there, in the person of Ellen
Hinckley rolling his familiar
stone, whicli was the big play-
ball from the gym. He looked
very young in his childish cos
tume, the striking feature of
which was a huge, red, bow tic.
Mary Allen Lewis was Ixeon and
revolved on a piano stool in-
istead of a wheel. Isabelle Mor
gan, as Tanklus, pursued the
elusive fruit, an apple in the case,
which was suspQnded from a
string as on Hallowetn parties.
Hercules was to have been pres
ent, but at the last moment he

was well attended, Gaynelle, who
is a pupil of Miss • May Craw

gave an excellent performance
technically and interpretatively
at times playing with marked
vigor and impetuosity.
The program opened with the
Sonata, Op. 26, by Beethoven,
and from the Andante con Varia-
zioni, familiar to most music-
lovers, and rippling Scherzo to
the tense Marcia funebre and
rollicking Rondo, Miss Hinton
held her audience in quite an ar
resting manner.
The second group on the pro
gram included compositions by
that incomparable poet of the
jjiano, Frederic Francois Chopin.
Tliese included: Etude, Op. 10,
No. 5, Impromptu, Op. 36, and
Polonaise, Op. Jf-0, ‘2, in all
