From Liz Shelton: “Our ’45-
’46 B.S.U. Council began work
this year with the highest of
dreams—based on our heirtage
from last year’s council plus
some brand new dreaming of
our own. We’ve grown this year
—in B.S.U.—but there are still
lots of dreams yet unfulfilled.
We’ll leave them to you, Highfill,
and your competent council and
whole B.S.U. for next year—
‘that ye might be filled with all
the fulness of God’.”
Mary G. Turner admits that,
often, there comes to one who
passes on her job to another a
feeling of uncertainty, as to what
may happen once she turns over
the reins to someone else. In
this, case, however, Mary G. as
sures us that whatever does hap
pen can’t help being for the
good of the association and the
school. She wishes Jean the best
of luck.

Noises From Gym Indicate
Hilarious Time For Players
By FRAN WALLACE
Among the many evidences
that the spring basketball sea
son is well under way are the
noises you hear emitting from
the gymnasium every night about
9:30, when approximately 60
girls from the different classes
come out for practice and class
competition in basketball.
These noises are of different
kinds. Maybe your concentra
tion on math is constantly inter
rupted by a “thump, thump,
thump.” That disturbing noise
is the sound of a basketball hit
ting the floor.
On the other hand, you may
be knocked from your easy chair
by a shrill scream followed by
the blast of a whistle. This se
quence of sounds may explain to
you that some young thing has
just kicked her opponent in the
shins..
There is still a third noise that
you could hear—that of “Hip,
hip, hooray”—now anyone
knows that familiar cry—a goal
has been made by a brilliant
forward.
The thrill of basketball is
somehow associated with spring
here at Meredith. Whether you
are in the dormitory, in the B
Hive, in the Science I3uilding, or
the gym, these evidences of it
that you hear will make you
want to join the groups playing.
The sounds, though, may mean
something entirely different to
each group of people who hears
them. To the students sitting in
their rooms studying, these
noises may be a nuisance. To
the girls who are working in the
typing room each noise may
mean a typing error. But have
you ever stopped to think what
the loud clamor means to the
girls in the gymnasium. Well,
it means just this: They have
put aside a little time in their
daily schedule for play—good
clean fun.
They are enjoying spirited
class competition in basketball,
the like of which is not found
at Meredith.
They are experiencing the
joys of excitement, scoring,
cheering, and the pang of loss—
but they are learning to “take
it.”
Make it a point to listen to
these noises next time with the
viewpoint of the players in
mind—you might find yourself
running to the gymanisum to
share a little of that fun, if not
in basketball, in one of the other
spring sports.
