Sports the
A few music plans for the
near future have been an
nounced which will be of inter
est to Meredith music lovers.
The choir, under the direction
of Dr. Cooper, and the Glee
Club, under the direction of
Miss Donley, have completed
auditions and have begun regu
lar rehearsals for the year. The
choir will sing for the first time
on November 5, for the Found
er’s Day program.
That famous “Group of Nine”
which made a name for itself
last year, has two important en
gagements coming up. Their first
appearance will be in Clayton
on October 8 when they will
sing for the Baptist State Con
vention. They have been asked
to perform at both the after
noon and evening sessions on
the convening day.
Some of you will be glad to
knaw that Charlie Stephenson
and Marvin McDonald are again
this year sponsoring a group of
concerts in Raleigh. The con
cert schedule has been an
nounced and includes the fol
lowing attractions: Paul White-
man and his orchestra present
ing an all-Gershwin program on
November 10; Marion Anderson,
January 13; the Ballet Russe de
Monte Carlo, January 27; and
the First Piano Quartet, Feb
ruary 10. Jeannette McDonald,
well known soprano of screen
and concert, may appear as the
fifth attraction.
Meredith students may look
forward to many good music
programs this year, both here
at the college and in the city.

By Sue Page
The college year has started
and is well on its way and most
of us are getting used to the
idea of studying once more. One
of the best things about Mere
dith College is that they don’t
expect you to work all of the
time, and they even provide for
your moments of leisure with
an array of sports which really
make us able, like Portia, to
face life.
Making a tour of the activi
ties, the first stop-off is the
stable. Five new horses have
been added to the group. May
I introduce you to these steady
characters, or just to be punny,
stable personalities. First there
are the two new five-gaited
horses. Top Hat and Chief. Both
of these animals have a beauti
ful chestnut coat and mane. This
summer they were used at a
camp near Asheville and are in
fine condition for all those inter
ested in fine riding. Then there
are three pleasure horses, Freck
les, a roan. Little Beaver, who
is all black, and Bay King, a
big rangy bay.
Just to make riding even more
interesting there is the Hoof-
print Club whose only member
ship requirement is that you be
enrolled in a riding class. This
club sponsors such exciting pro
grams as early morning break
fast rides, and moonlight rides,
too, for the lovers of the celes
tial bodies! At their first meet
ing the new officers were elected.
Peggy Patrick is the president,
Pat Blackman, vice-president,
Betty Jo Smith, secretary, and
Diane Newton, treasurer. The
best of all of their plans is the
horse show to be held this
spring.
October 16th will mark the
observance of the 4th annual
Cornhusking Bee. Everybody,
including the Faculty, will join
in the fun.
There is a great deal of inter
est being exhibited in the Fresh
man Tennis Tournament. If you
haven’t signed up to play, come
on out and join in. They tell
me that it is quite the racket.
B.S.U. NEWS
The first meeting of the Free
man Religion Club will be held
at the home of Dr. Ralph Mc
Lain on October 8, at 5:00 p.m.
Some of the girls who have done
field work this summer will
speak on their experiences. All
members and prospective mem
bers are invited to attend.

The Baptist Student Union
initiated its first mass meeting
on Wednesday, September 29.
Heretofore, the B.S.U. has spon
sored a Greater Council meeting
to which Sunday School, B.T.U.,
and Y.W.A. officers were invited.
However, this year, because the
Baptist Student Union is the re
ligious organization for the
whole student body, the council
decided to hold a monthly meet
ing for all students. The purpose
of these meetings will be to ac
quaint students with the work
of the B.S.U. as well as to hold
general discussions on the prob
lems which arise.
This first meeting was opened
with a devotional by Sue Page,
and a vocal selection by Nancy
Hall. Marjorie Wilson, presi
dent of the B.S.U., introduced
religious workers from various
churches who were present to
meet students attending the dif
ferent churches.
Emily Pool, the enlistment
vice-president explained that the
B.S.U. and local churches urged
students to bring their letters
with them to the church of their
choice for this year. Marjorie
Joyner and Lois Pritchett spoke
briefly on the reasons why they
have joined a Raleigh church.
Beth Boggs, secretary, pre
sented the program for the year,
reminding everyone especially
of the B.S.U. Convention which
is to be held in Gastonia in No
vember. Rosalind Knott, B.T.U
representative, announced that
two seminars are to be held by
Dr. Glenn Blackburn of Wake
Forest in November. At the con
clusion of the meeting, the Bap
tist, Methodists, and Presbyter-
ion girls had the opportuninty
to meet the workers from those
churches.
LITTLE THEATRE
(Continued from Page One)
torium by the Barter Theatre of
Virginia.
Programs for the Little The
atre group’s monthly meetings
deserve honorable mention. The
first program will concern “try
outs,” and succeeding ones will
be centered on such things as
“lighting” and “make up.” There
will also be speakers from the
workers at the Raleigh Little
Theatre from time to time.
To balance work with play,
cast parties will be given. Din
ner at the S & W Cafeteria is
only one of the suggestions for
entertainment.
