from CLUB Cubs
BARBER SCIENCE CLUB
Elizabeth Hardison, President
Ella May Shirley, Reporter
The Barber Science Club, the
club that wants to add variety
and spice to the lives of students
interested in science, held its
first meeting of the year in its
regular meeting place. Room 16
of the Science Building, on
Tuesday, Oct. 14, at 8:00 p.m.
The old members were there to
welcome the new ones and to
present a program centering in
the theme of “Chemistry and the
Bible.” After the program the
usual “socializing” began in the
physics lab. We think the Bar
ber Science Club can do some
thing for you. Can you, and will
you, do something for it? Come
on and be there for our next
meeting.
stories by Esther Greene and
Mary Humphrey; poetry by La-
Verne Harris, Frances Alex
ander, and Gloria Mayer; and
selections from With A Song.
After each reading all present
were invited to make any con
structive criticisms which they
felt were needed. Contributions
made by the listeners stimulated
thought and enabled more peo
pie to take part in the program.
COLTON ENGLISH CLUB
Doris Harris, President
Edith Camp, Reporter
On Oct. 2, the Browsing Room
witnessed the first meeting of the
Colton English Club for the
present school year. At this
time, Shirley Hurwitz was
elected vice president, and Janie
Nance was elected Browsing
Room chairman. Doris Harris
stressed the fact that this room
and the books in it are available
to any student at any time even
though it is only used by groups
for hall meetings and English
Club meetings. The program for
the first meeting consisted of
the creative writings of Meredith
students. It included short
FREEMAN RELIGION CLUB
Frances Ward, President
Idalia Oglesby, Reporter
Has anyone ever told you that
“Dr. Mac” disapproved of Satur
day classes? Well, he does, and
anyone who attended the Free
man Religion Club on Friday
evening will heartily back me
in this statement. You see,
we ate supper at Dr. McLain’s.
What wonderful food we had!
After supper we had our first
meeting of the club for this year.
Our program was a very inter
esting discussion of “the things
we did last summer.” To start
the discussion, Judy Powers,
our program chairman, read us
a letter from Evelyn Pittman,
who was last year’s program
chairman. Evelyn told about the
wonderful experiences she had
in Vacation Bible School and
about the night she substituted
for her pastor who was out of
town. Gloria Mayer went all the
way to Missouri to do her good
work. Ruth Summerlin also had
the urge to roam, for she went
to Kentucky, where she con
ducted Bible School. Zella
Woody added a postscript to
Ruth’s story by telling about the
train ride that she, Zella, took
with a car load of soldiers to
another part of Kentucky. Mar
jorie Wilson varied the program
when she told about doing field
work for the Sunday School
Board. Think over the things
you did last summer. Were they
as wholesome and yet as thrilling
and enjoyable as these? Per
haps you’d like to do such work
next summer.
And now to let you in on a
little secret. You won’t dare miss
the next club meeting, because
Carolyn Massey is going to show
us some pictures that she took
this summer when she went to
Denmark to the Baptist World
Alliance. Watch the bulletin
board for time, date, and place,
and then GO.
Does a cross word make you happy?
HOME ECONOMICS CLUB
Iva Hurst, President
Rosemary Dean, Reporter
The first Home Economics
Club meeting of this year was
called to order on October 2.
A very interesting program was
presented by Carolyn Knight,
Miss Ellen Brewer, and Gayle
Wells. Carolyn and Miss Brewer
gave some entertaining side
lights of their trip to St. Louis
to the National Home Economics
Association meeting. Gayle told
about her work as a dietitian at
a Girl Scout camp this summer.
There are many new girls in
the home economics classes this
year. Many of them have taken
an active part in 4-H Club work
in their home counties. Peggy
White represented Edgecombe
County in the district dairy foods
team for two years. She was
also a winner in the county dress
contest this year and is now
finishing her term as county
council president for the past
year. Frances Ann Lancaster,
also from Edgecombe County, is
eligible for a trip to Chicago on
the basis of being the State Dairy
Foods Demonstration champion.
This year she is beginning a
term as secretary to the state
4-H Club council, and is Edge
combe County’s entry for the
state record book contest. Fran
ces was also presented a special
award of fifty dollars at Achieve
ment Day this fall for making
the greatest 4-H contribution
over a period of four years.
With the Class of ’47
McDowell music club
Joy Stillwell, President
The first meeting of the Mc
Dowell Music Club was held
Wednesday night, Oct. 8, in the
Hut. The president presented Mr.
Stuart Pratt, club sponsor, and
the other officers, who are Fran
ces Smith, vice president and
Frances Spruill, secretary-treas
urer. After a brief business
meeting, an interesting discus
sion of program music was held.
Refreshments were served. An
invitation for membership is
extended to anyone who is inter
ested in music.

SOCIOLOGY CLUB
Katherine Wyatt, President
Barbara Francis, Reporter
The Sociology Club extends to
its members an opportunity for
discussion of the social problems
which we are meeting today.
The club is composed of students
who are taking courses in soci
ology. Programs are planned in
view of the main interests of
the members. Speakers who are
authorities on particular prob
lems are often invited. The club
will hold its first monthly meet
ing Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 7:00
p.m. in the Hut. An interesting
program has been planned by
the members about their sum
mer activities. All members and
prospective members are urged
to attend.
RUTH MILLER
Ruth Miller—of course, all of
you remember her—the charm
ing brunette in last year’s grad
uating class with the smiling eyes
and smooth voice—the music
major whose playing was as
stimulating to our souls as her
smile was to our hearts. Now
we remember Ruth in another
way. She is the Intermediate
State Leader of the Baptist
Training Union Department.
Theoretically, Ruth says, her
work is dealing with Interme
diates; but in this type of work
she finds herself helping and
mixing with all ages. The day
after school was out last spring
Ruth began her new job and
has been “going strong” since
that time. An especially at
tractive aspect of Ruth’s work,
and for all like her who want
to travel, is that she travels
about three weeks out of every
four. “One of the nice things
about this,” Ruth says, “is that
you always see so many Mere
dith graduates and prospective
Meredith students.”

ness Women on Oct. 3. Miss
Weber is secretary to the presi
dent of Carolina Trailways

They will be planned with an
eye to being useful in vocational
practice after graduation.
