By Joanne Mason ®
The members of the Music
Department, faculty and stu
dents both, are still wandering
around in a daze of recitals,
flowers, and receptions. What a
week it was, but all of us enjoyed
it, except, perhaps, the perform
ers themselves.
Chamber Music Concert
On May 5, the Chamber Music
class presented one of the most
interesting student recital pro
grams of the year. This class was
first offered this semester and
was found to be very helpful to
the students. The music studied
in this class included the import
ant chamber works in music of
the past and present.
For this concert Miss Rosen-
berger, the director, played the
violin, and Joy Stillwell, Susan
Graham, and Virginia Campbell
played piano. William Raper,
student at State College, attend
ed several of the classes and also
took part in the program. The
following program was pre
sented :

Highlighting their work of the
year, the numbers of the Mere
dith Home Economics Club had
an inspiring candle light cere
mony in the hut Thursday, May
5, to install the officers for the
coming year. Frances Williams,
the incoming president, reviewed
the work of the year and ex
pressed appreciation to the retir
ing officers.
For the benefit of the pledges,
Elaine Saunders told the signi
ficance of the symbol of the club,
the Betty Lamp. The initiation
of new members followed each
one being introduced by one of
her senior class friends.
The climax of the program
was the initiation of the gradua
ting seniors into the American
and North Carolina Home Eco
nomics Associations. The club
was fortunate in having as a
special guest Miss York Kiker,
incoming president of the N.C.-
H.E.A., who welcomed the
seniors and presented them with
membership certificates.
Psychology Project
Finished By Seniors
Garden Tea
Seven Meredith College
seniors in psychology, under Dr.
Dorothy G. Park, head of that
department, have completed a
project in the field of projective
testing which was read in the
form of a report by Dr. Park at
a meeting of the psychology
section of the North Carolina
Academy of Science in Chapel
Hill on May 7, under the title
“Some Relations of Movement
Responses to Creativity.”
The experiment was con
ducted as a part of a larger
investigation being pursued in
various laboratories over the
country under the direction of
Dr. Joseph Zubin of New York
Psychiatric Institute and Colum
bia University. The project re
quired the administering of tests
to 50 other students at the
College, using the Levy Move
ment blots, a recent projective
test, not yet commercialized,
which is a variant of the well-
known Rorschach or ink-blot
test.
One of the purposes of this
research is investigation of the
differences in movement re
sponses to the ink-blot test
between so-called “creative”
students and non-creative, or
average, students.
The seven Meredith seniors
who participated in the research
project were Betty Jean Johnson,
Peggy Patrick, Mrs. Lily Oat-
field, Osee Mac Johnson, Martha
Davis, Shirley Powell, and
Natalie Neal.

The Meredith Little Theatre
has adopted, as a rejuvenation
project, a program which will fit
its expanding facilities. Next
year, instead of regular meet
ings, a series of workshops will
be held for the benefit of mem
bers and pledges. Each commit
tee chairman, who will be
appointed to serve for all pro
ductions, will conduct the work
shop in her field, be it costuming,
make-up, or staging.
Congratulations are definitely
in order to the Phis and their
whole production staff for a
beautiful performance on society
night! Winning the cup perman
ently is a feat which certainly
can’t be topped and will seldom
be equaled.

Society Night on Saturday, May
28, at which time Mrs. Crisp will

Society Night is sponsored
each year by the two literary

ton and Philaretian, and on this
occasion the annual society
awards for literary activity will
be presented.
Mrs. Crisp, who is a native of
eastern Carolina and a graduate

author of Spring Fever, and of
the recently published Brief
Testament.
The faculty and student body
is invited to the student produc
tions of The Glass Menagerie and
Whistler’s Mother to be held
May 18 and 20 respectively in
Phi Hall at 4:00 P.M. The plays
are being presented in connect-
tions with the course in oral
interpretation.
Everyone has a spark of
drama in him; but when young
ladies making an announcement
in chapel feel called upon to
write a playlet for the occasion,
we feel the situation is really
brightening. You know, there’s
nothing like showmanship.
