Page Four THE TWIG March 18 ^ 1949 Art Club The Alpha Rho Tau club mem bers — better known as the campus “brush-swipers” — put down their palettes long enough to enjoy a hay ride to Crabtree Creek on March 5. Transporta tion was furnished by a truck full of hay that almost made the crowd lose its front teeth before the destination was reached. Food was abundant with plenty of hot dogs, potato chips and onions. Joe Norwood was dubbed chief cook and demon strated his rare ability by brew ing a pot of coffee. After supper, a fireside chat and sing was held while the group tried to listen to a State College basketball game. Curfew tolled around — too early, and the party came to a close with another teeth-chatter- ing ride back to Angel Farm. Chaperones for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Ream, and Miss Wells and date. P. S.: And a good time was had by all! Sociology Club The members of the Sociology Club and visitors met on March 9 at 6:30 p.m. in the S & W Cafeteria. After the meal, the president, Barbara Francis, re minded the members to be think ing of officers for next year. Dr. Ellen Winston, Commis sioner of Public Welfare for the state of North Carolina, spoke to the club on welfare legisla tion. Then Dr. Winston told of opportunities for jobs, of job requirements, and of scholar ships available. All of this in formation was of pertinent in terest to the girls present. Sports o/ the JEAN7ERNIGAN AT CONVENTION By Sue Page I still have spring fever, and I am getting more enthusiastic by the minute. Especially when I heard about the plans for a horse show to be held on May 7. Included in plans for the event are stunt riding, exhibition rid- ng by outsiders, and classes in horsemanship judged by men who know horses and riders best. And then if you happen to hear hoof beats in the middle of the night, don’t be frightened. It will be these lucky girls enjoy ing a moonlight ride. Some girls have all the fun! Peggy Patrick tells me that the Equitation Club also plans to show a movie about horses and invite everyone to at tend. Watch the bulletin boards for the time and place.
