PAGE THRES The Faculty Has a Tea By VIRGINIA REYNOLDS An Interview With the State’s “First Lady” (Continued from page one) flener—‘‘farmer,” she calls herself. "I like to oxpevlinent with gardening," she said. “I used to grow just flowers, but several years ago I branched out and now I grow llgs, grapes, raspber ries, Strawberries—” and she reeled on a number of things not found In ordi nary gardens. “I just can't bear It aJjout the strawberries,’’ she said, la menting the fact that, as governor’s wife, her gardening will be done for her. It SQcnis that sho grows just about the llniist strawberries in Cleve land County, according to the neigh bors—although she tHlmitced imlvely that the reason they thoiigliL her ber ries so fine was that she lUe the small ones before nnybody has a chance to see them. “I dmi’t think North Caro linians make the most of iheir gar dens,” she declared. “1 believe tluit al most anything, except thoue things which require tropical ollninles, cnn be grown in this state,” The weaiern part of the state she thinks, has.been especially backwnid in this. Her joy in gardening is expressed iii a roply she made to floveriior Hoey once when he asked her what she'd heeii doing. “I've been working all day with my flowers, and I've had sncli u good time, Thuy haven’t said a word back to me," Another hcibby of. Mrs. Hoey's, and an unusual one, too, Is lectures. “I'm almost a fanatic on the subject," she said. “I suppose it’s fortunate, too, since I've had to listen to so many of thorn. But there's nothing I’d rather do than go to a lecture or to a meet ing—political or otherwise—and listen to the speeches." Mrs. Hoey thoroughly enjoys living in the executive mansion, and she takes great pride In the interesting and beautiful things It contains. Some One, she thinks, ought to write a his tory of some of the furnishings. She enjoys housework, although sh^ is re lleved of all that now. *‘But I did slip down to tho kitchen yesterday and make a pound cake,” she confided. One can readily see, even after a casual meeting, why "Miss Bess,” as her friends call her, la so genuinely liked by all who know her. She'a so ciUve that one is tempted to say, like the little boy, “Where she Is, it’s a party!" Somewhere around 3:30 on the after* noon of Founders' Day I looked up from page 269 of Forgive Us Our Trea- passes to watch Effle Raye Ay two ot the paper gliders she was construct* ing from my first semester’s Geography notes. One plane glided beautifully toward the window but the second turned and hit me on the forehead. “Ouch! Why don't you go recuper* ate somewhere else?” (She claims she hasn't gotten over tl»e stli* of registration day.) “You’re lying on your senior dignity” she murmured while she made another plane, this time from her geography, notes. I yanked my gown out ft;om under my right elbow with my left hand and upset the desk drawer I had been going through when the lunch gong rang. I kept on reading. "Besides, Fannie said to turn them in after lunch,” she con tinued. “Mm-m” I agreed, and kept on read ing. “It's top late now, but maybe you’ll remember next time,” she said hope fully. “Mm-m” I agreed and kept on read ing. When 1 got to page 300 she was flinging worn out flower buds at the two plaques on the wall. “We’re broad casting,” she volunteered, “I think we owe it to a spJrit-or something to listen,” so saying, with a-spirit-or something she bounded out of bed and turned on the radio. . . . ‘Now 1 am quite sure Alice would like to know more about Meredith—,’' “I didn’t when I came here.” Ef- fie Raye offered but evidently the radio didn’t hear because it kept right on— '‘Because she might want to go next year. Now. . . ,” “Miss English Rounds . awfully natural.” “Uh huh Mardee, too.” “Now Alice is interested in social life as well as academic—.” “So are wo—” said Effle Raye turn ing the dial so we could get all that was coming to us. '‘Why doeyn’t the faculty give A?lcc hi Wonderland over the radio? That would make prospective students flock ill—or if they could juat give part of it they might do the tea party. Mii Canady uud Miss Spruill are bettor than Clark Gable and Joan Crawford any day." While tho program pro ceeded to acquaint the waiting Alices with Meredith's charms and opportuni ties. Eftie Raye picked up her papers; and I thoiigiit out [our years spent in college—. After the children’s bli'thday party had taken full possession of tiie room Eltie Raye suggested that ^ve go to the exhibit In the blue parlor. I looked at the twc) scratches on my band and reminded her that we had hung the pictures ourselves tho day Ijefore, and that there was a tea In session. '‘Let’s go to the tea then. We're invited—.’' An hour later we were beginning to go down the receiving line. Wo smiled und shook hands with three parlor’s w'orth of people. Mr, Canady looked very much at home but I won dered what he ha(l done with his Mad Hatter’s apparel. Everyone looked so dressed up—and I w'ondered at the size of a tea table it would take to seat them all so they might “move down one.” We strolled about the blue parlor to see who we could see and the first person we saw was Miss Doris Tillery, with two cups of tea. We presented ourselves as Tweedledum and Tweedledee. “Hello! Do you recall us?" While she reflected, we relieved hei- of the tea. “We ate the wrong side of the toad stool and grew up to be seniors.” “Oh, yea, Meredith. That's where I've seen you before. The wrong side to he sure.” She turned us over to Miss Da,y, who hunted for a rabbit in her puffed sleeves but decided the Duchess must have gotten bis head after all. During the course of the afternoon we came upon Fannie and Murgai-et —Margaret with her third cup of tea. It was extremely good tea, Effle Raye looked at her watch and remarked that it was growing late —whereupon I remarked that it hadn’t kept correct time since she greased it. “But it was the best of butter—” she said sorrowfully, AH of this took place under Miss .MacMillan's and Miss Branch’s noses, Tiiey glanced at each other and with ono accord they smiled goodbye at us. We told them we had a most marvel ous time and departed. In the hall we met Ftossfc and Ruth and shook hands with them. They shook their heads over us as we do- piirted saying. "Move down one.” NOTICE Aliiniiiae )ihinni»A' to iillcnd tlitt shite WML' meciin^' in (lluiriottc, Miirch fl-lO'll, will he interested in lu‘iirin>r Ihiil (h‘ Clinrlotto vtiii|il'r of .M.(‘r‘«nili' HluiHiiiie is iirrsiiiK'iii',[ for >i ‘^ef-litgitllier” nl' 3li’r'dilh aluninuo Momvtlnie dur* iiitf IIh> convenlhm.

MEREDITH HONORS 38th BIRTHDAY IN USUAL MANNER ^Continued from page one) themselves very much at home.” Rev. Klncheloe stated that an* other of the great values received from Christian education Is evidenced In the Influence of men and women trained in the denominational college, “It has made possible for our church a trained leadership composed of men and women who la many instances could never have gone to college had it not been for. the sacrifices made by the founders of our great schools of learning. . . . The denominational collegG has not only justified the sac rifices which made possible a trained ministry for our churches, but over Stupendous dlfilculties, with poverty and limited equipment, our loaders in this important field have raised the standards of their work in successful competition with similar institutions supported by the state.” Reverend Mr. Klncheloe did not re strict the supporters and leaders in churches to graduates of Christian schools alone, but he said that “the ad vantages for building outstanding Christian leadership for our churches are offered most frequently and appro priated most successfully in the en vironment and atmosphere of Christian education.” The speaker said further that Christian education presents an other advantage over other fields of education in attempting to develop the threefold life of the student—spiritual, mental, and physical. The spiritual life offered at state and private edu- catinnul instltiitious if furthered at all Is in an indirect way, and iihysical aiul mental cultiire are emphaslKed, In conclusion .the speaker paid a tribute to the memory of the pioueers of Christian education in saying,that they represented the “land that re ligion has hallowed and liberty re deemed. . . .
