BEHIND THE FOOTLIGHTS
By MICKY BOWEN 9
There’s one truth about his-
tronic activities at Meredith
which is exceptional—the fact
that one is never bored by the
repetition of the same old faces
at each endeavor. Everybody
gets into the act, and does it
well, too. The freshmen (of
whom we are always proud)
certainly put on a fine show for
the Big Sisters at the banquet
last week-end, even the bits that
were unrehearsed!
The fine performance in
chapel not long ago, staged by
the ever-busy play production
class, will be doubled tonight on
Society Night, when they will
give us two more one-act plays.

“Oh, we’ve forgotten the
matches. What will we do out
here without them?” “Well, I
guess somebody will have to go
to the nearest house, only one-
half mile away, to get some.”
This incident is typical of the
minor catastrophes that Dr.
Johnson has had to cope with
since she has been giving an
nual picnics for the girls in her
elective English classes.
When this particular accident
occurred, Meredith was in the
center of town. Each spring saw
Dr. Johnson and her crew jog
ging out to Lassiter’s Mill in one
of Raleigh’s streetcars. The big
basket she carried was always
crammed with edibles.
When Meredith was moved to
its present site, the grove was
taken over for these picnics. A
grill over a roaring fire was won
derful for cooking. Of course,
we are overlooking the time
when the grill collapsed and
sent gallons of coffee streaming
over sputtering charcoals.
Since the chimney has been
built, however, the English
classes have picnicked there.
The menu is always hamburgers,
(some students have been known
to eat four) coffee, lettuce and
tomatoes, with onions, pickles,
and all the trimmings. To avoid
meat rationing one year. Dr.
Johnson moved the picnic time
up to January. This time they
had to go to the Hut to keep
from being frozen.
All these get-togethers are in
formal, each girl serving her
self. Now, along with her girls,
the English faculty attend.
Dillard's
Beauty Shop

Time marches on, and the
music world at Meredith Col
lege is likewise not dragging be
hind. The forthcoming weeks
are “brimming” over with music
activities, and believe me they’re
top-notch programs which none
of us can afford to miss.
Well, let me see—Heavens! I
hardly know where to start,
much less give you an insight
into the programs. But why
bother with the programs, ’cause
you see (or I should say hear)
that for yourself at the perform
ances.
Before I tell you of future
events, I should like to call at
tention to the beautiful recital
Addie Elliot gave on the 28th of
April. I might add that, although
there is only one voice major in
the senior class, she has really
made up for the lack of the
others. A rousing cheer for
Addie! Not to forget the faculty,
which is not letting its students
get ahead of it. I’d like to men
tion the lovely organ concert of
Miss Ruth Woodman on the
30th of April—a most pleasant
ending for the month of April.
A forthcoming recital is to be
presented by Rose Stewart on
the 13th of May, and for anyone
that loves piano music I strongly
advise you not to miss it. I’d like
to call special attention to the
piano concerto (Mendelssohn, G
Minor Concerto) that she and
Mr. Pratt will perform.
Of great interest for future
programs are the post-graduate
recitals to be given by Nancy
Hall and “Lib” Zulalian on the
17th and 18th of May, respec
tively.
