From a short column in the
Twig a magazine of which the
alumnae can well be proud has
grown. The first issue came out
last winter and was distributed
to the home mailing office of
3,200. This spring will bring out
a second issue which will from
now on be followed by summer
and winter numbers. After the
first issue, however, it was neces
sary to send the issues only to
the subscribers or contributors
to the Loyalty Fund.
Included in the bulletin are
alumnae reports, faculty and
campus news, and feature ar
ticles done by various members
of the staff and other alumnae.
Dr. Norma Rose (’36) is the edi
tor, and assisting her as staff
members are: Dr. Mary L. John
son (’17), Miss lone Knight (’43),
Mrs. Eleanor E. Williams (’37),
and Miss Mae Grimmer (’14).
Of special interest are the pic
tures of alumnae children and
class notes. The feature article
of the spring issue is “Meredith
Missionaries I Have Known” by
Mrs. J. S. Farmer (’07). Reports
SENIOR CLASS
The annual Junior - Senior
Banquet highlighted the week
end of April 19, the theme for
the evening being centered
around a “Mexican Moonglo
Supper Club.” The dining hall
was decorated with gay colored
stripes, and the palms and cacti
gave the supper club that typical
Mexican touch. Dr. Harry E.
Cooper remained near the hat
check stand throughout the eve
ning while little Mexican girls
went around to the tables and
brought the couples up to have
their pictures made. Members
of the Freshman and Sophomore
classes dressed in Mexican attire
acted as waitresses, while other
Mexican girls wandered around
from table to table passing nu
merous notes and greeting the
dates.
During the course of the ban
quet, a varied program was pre
sented, interspersed with special

All freshmen are discussing
plans for the coming event—
which just goes to show that
freshman life isn’t all work and
no play, endless worries over
chaperones, call downs, and
merely being a freshman, for
tomorrow evening, dressed in
their pairs of most unattractive
(but oh! so comfortable) blue
jeans, will be approximately
twenty-five couples setting out
for Allen’s Pond. Proof enough
that the freshmen are not lack
ing in energy is the very evident
fact that transportation there
and back will be “a-la-foot”! Ac
cording to President Mary Lee
Rankin, the party is to meet here
at school at 6:00 with Miss Doris
Peterson, class advisor.
As for the most important
part of the picnic. Dot Childress
has promised that there will be
food—“and plenty of it.” On the
list are “hot dogs,” with all the
trimmings, cole slaw, potato
chips, pepsi-colas, and ice cream
sandwiches.
Early planners with an eye on
the man that they each should
invite have been naming their
decisions, and a glance will show
that most of the near-by schools
will be represented. Having de
cided on State, there will be:

the printers, and although as yet
it is not certain that it will be
printed by the end of school this
year, it is hoped that it will be.
The Colton English Club is spon
soring the anthology and has
received support from many
organizations and classes. The
Twig, the Acorn and the Bee-
Hive each have contributed $50,
the Freshman class has contrib
uted $10, and the other classes
$25 each, while the Alumni As
sociation has given $100. The
college as a whole has pledged
its support.
The title of the Anthology,

the Alma Mater, “We Salute
Thee With a Song,” and seems
appropriate. Everyone is looking
forward to receiving this publi
