Many groups and chapters met on
February 4 in honor of the forty-fifth
birthday of Meredith. Lack of space
forbids adequate write-ups In this issue,
but their story will Ik told in the
March number. We do pause to say that
many have commented on the splendid
radio program given over station
WPTF at 4:30 o’clock that afternoon.
The Olee Club under direction of Miss
Beatrice Donley appropriately opened
and closed the program with "Alma
Mater”; alumnae president Laura
Weatherspoon Harrill gave a message
and introduced the two speakers. Dr.
Carlyle Campbell, president of Mere
dith, and Mr. W. H. Weatherspoon,
president of the board of trustees. We
are indebted to them for an informa
tive as well as enjoyable program. We
thank sincerely each participant.
Friends of the LIbrarj
Information from our librarian, Miss
Hazel Baity, that several friends have
sent to the library their own works
delights us. Authors and books are;
Irene Wilde, '05, of Los Angeles, Calif.,
"The Red Turban” (Russian back
ground), her first novel; and Mrs. Joye
Freeman Woodbury, of Morganton,
"Petal Dust from My Garden,” a book
of seventy-five essays, "each carrying
a spiritual message ” Also Esther Roy
ster, ’16, of Asbury Park, New Jersey,
has kindly sent the Feb. 14-19 Issue of
The Scholastic, in which her article,
"The Widening Community,” appears.
This is "a panel discussion in which
pupils of different races and religions
plead for brotherhood instead of chaos”
—written especially for Brotherhood
Week.
