DURHAM PASTOR SPEAKS m CHAPEL Freshmen Entertain Kig Sister Class If you seniors and sophomores went down to the dining hall for breakfast Saturday morning. May 17 and wondered why you had the entire place to your selves, you might like to know that the reason for the absence of the freshmen and juniors was the annual Big Sister-Little Sis ter Breakfast. Just after that first rising bell Saturday morning, the little sisters went to get their guests before going to the chim ney at 7:15 a.m. when breakfast was served. The early risers were informally served hot chocolate and doughnuts. Miss Peterson, sponsor for the Freshman Class, and around two hundred people from the two classes were there. Rev. Warren Carr, pastor of the Watt Street Baptist Church in Durham, spoke to the Mere dith College faculty and student body during the chapel service on Wednesday, May 21. He spoke to-the group on the significance of educational theories, both old and new. STEINWAY PIANOS HAMMOND ORGANS RADIOS SHEET MUSIC RECORDS C. H. Stephenson Music Co.

C. State Art Gallery. Work from St. Mary’s, Peace, Mere dith, Shaw, and State Colleges are exhibited. Douglas W. Reyn olds has said of the exhibit, “The Freshman composition sketches from Meredith dis played a greater concern for va rious approaches to artistic ex pression than the work by other college students who were more limited to realistic still life and portrait subjects to a more pleas ing nature. The art from St. Mary’s and Peace, though less flavored with originality, pre sented a more highly polished ar ray of finished over-the-fireplace exhibition material. The weak est point in this, as in the State exhibition, was the complete neglect of sculpture by all the colleges!” Meredith student artists whose work is exhibited are Doris Johnson, Jean Bradley, Mary Beth Thomas, Florence Moore, Bethea Wells, Alice Ren ner, Betty Hefner, Lois Harmon, Frances Ruth Ward, Marty Da vis, Roxanna Valias, Jeanne Dickens, Betty Moore, and Frances Walls.

C. TOILETRIES Featuring ELIZABETH ARDEN YARDLEY COTY and EVENING IN PARIS MISS “LU ” WATTS Bet I know more about Miss Watts than you do, and I’m braggin! But I know everybody’s interested in finding out more about “Miss Lu,” with her “glahsses,” and “clahsses,” so I’ll share the bit I found out in my afternoon’s chat with Miss Lulu Watts, our dining room hostess. Born in Chatham, Va., “Miss Lu” was practically raised by a Negro mammy since her mother had died when “Little Lulu” was only nine months old. Although an aunt supervised the up-bring ing, “Miss Lu” gives all the credit to her black mammy. Here’s something I didn’t know: “Miss Lu” is a graduate nurse. She got her training in a small privately owned hospital in Virginia, and she has been in many Virginia schools as dieti tian and nurse, her knowledge of “domestic science” having been obtained from the private school of a Drexel Institute grad uate. It is from these many years of living with them that “Miss Lu” claims her first love—“girls and boys.” She doesn’t want people to think her too modern when she says, “growing girls and boys have a hard time because older folks don’t let them express their own opinions.” Then she says that the older people probably forget, says even she does some times. Miss Watts used to play “bahs- ket-ball” (by the way, she was born with that long “a”). And to other sports her lik ings fall (better than a bad rhyme is none at all). In the music field she espe cially likes the old ballads for singing, and for listening her fa vorites are the semi-classics. During summers in a Maine camp, “Miss Lu” fell for the- beautiful country and thrilling Mrs. Alice Cosma Speaks to Group Mrs. Alice Kandaleft Cosma spoke to the Meredith College student body during the chapel period on Monday, May 19. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. Roy Anderson of Raleigh. Mrs. Cosma is the Syrian representa tive on the United Nations Com mission on the Status of Women. Mrs. Cosma has previously been the head of several girls’ schools in Syria. She spoke to the group on the political and social divi sions of the Arab world and placed particular emphasis on the Palestine problem from an Arab viewpoint. Dean Burts Announces Summer School Plans Students who plan to attend Meredith Summer School regis tered during May 12-17, and plans have been made for a suc cessful session. Completion of registration will be held in the library at 2:00 p.m., Monday, June 9, and summer school will end July 19. Six semester hours of work may be taken. A bulle tin, which is now in circulation, contains the courses to be given, and a list of the faculty mem bers. water sports. For ten years be fore coming to Meredith, where she has been for two years now, she was at a school in Chatham, Va., where she served as nurse and dietitian. When asked if she had any dis likes, “Miss Lu” had to think awhile, because it didn’t occur to her to have any dislikes right on the tip of her tongue. Then she said that most of all she didn’t like people who were un reliable. Everywhere she’s been “Miss Lu” has had affectionate nick names, such as “Ma Lu,” “Aunt Lulu,” or even “Miss Cherry.” As for Meredith, Miss Watts thinks it’s tops. She marvels at how well the girls can turn out parties and “doings” and still keep in step with the studies. Her thanks go to all the students at Meredith for their coopera tion in making this about the most successful and happiest year she’s spent — and, “Miss Lu,” you can bet we appreciate you, too.—E. P.
