TEACHERS WIN
BY FOUR INCHES
By JOYCE COVINGTON
Faculty-Student Play-Day got
off to a grand start at two
o’clock on May 10 with Hope
Hodges crowning Doris Concha
as Dutchess and Dr. Roger Crook
as Duke to rule over the events
of the day. Kitty Fisher and Ann
Midyette were crown bearers
for the event.
Everyone who missed the vol
ley bail game really missed a
treat. I still have not figured out
what happened to the student
team; at one time they were in
the lead with a good margin, but
then the faculty knuckled down
and ran over the student team by
a six point margin. Even though
Dr. Parker could not get from
his serving position to the front
line in time for the first ball
served by the student server, he
was there in time for the second

EDITING HANDBOOK
one.
The challenging soon started
and everyone was deeply en
gaged in some event. There was
stiff competition between the
faculty and students in ping
pong, tennis, hop scotch, box
hockey and many other games.
The soft ball game was the
highlight of the day. There was
a large crowd watching it anc
cheering for the student team
and for the faculty team. It
seemed at first that the score
was going to remain 1-1, but
very soon the students startec
scoring. It wasn’t easy to score
against the faculty, because
their catching ability was great.
Say, I don’t believe Dean Pea
cock missed any of the balls that
went his way. However, Jane
Cate hit one over his head and
created much excitement by
making a home run. Amid many
cheers from the students and
boos from the faculty the stu
dent team won the soft ball
game by a victory of 14-1.
After a delicious picnic
dinner in the court everyone
gathered to watch the races.
Jones dormitory won the sack
race, Faircloth the three-legged
race, and Stringfield the potato
race. Because Jones and Fair-
cloth dormitories and the fac
ulty were tied for the winner
of Play-Day with 46 points each.
Miss Cunningham and Hope
Hodges decided to have a foot
race the length of the court to
determine the winner. Mr. Wil-
mont really had close—did I
say close?—that was tight com
petition given by Pat Caddell
and Faye Nichols but won by a
margin of about four inches. You
should have heard the faculty
praise him!
To finish an afternoon ot
much fun and excitement was
the original dormitory song con
test. Even though the faculty
sang, “The Old Grey Mare, She
Ain’t What She Used To Be’ it
seems that they are younger
than we!
won the softbail game by 14-1- .
The Athletic Board is at pres
ent busily engaged in editing
and printing the sports hand
book for next year, which will
be mailed out this summer to all
freshmen at Meredith who are
coming here in the fall.
Appointed editor by the A.A.
Board for this handbook is Mari
lyn Mills; writing the copy is
Bee Josey; designing the cover
is Diane Newton; and responsi
ble for the mimeographing is
Joyce Covington.
The Board plans to send out
the completed handbooks, which
will be finished before exams
this spring, to all new students.
Approximately 200 copies of the
pamphlet, which carries descrip
tions of all sports activities on
the campus during the year,
will be ready for mailing soon.
Winners Get Ribbons As Second Annual
Horse Show Has Successful Afternoou
The second annual Horse
Show held at Meredith on May
Day was one of the most success
ful events in the history of the
college; over fifty beginners and
advanced riders competed for
ribbons in horsemanship as a
large crowd watched the per
formance.
Blue, red, yellow, and white
ribbons were awarded to the
winners in the six classes by the
judge, Betty Bronson, as Joe
Barber announced the events.
Students riding in the Horse
Show included those from St.
Mary’s and the Raleigh public
schools, as well as Meredith girls
enrolled in the course under
Mrs. Miriam Todd Hitt, riding
instructor.
Under the sponsorship ot the
Hoofprint Club, with Anne
Creech as acting president, the
ALWAYS PLAYDAY!
Horse Show this year featured
a beginning jumping class, and
an exhibition of four of the col
lege show horses and the driving
rig.
Students taking blue ribbons
in first place during the after
noon were Pat Roberts, Ellyn
Royer, Anne Creech and Gene
Beddingfield. Awarded second
place red ribbons by the judge
were Pat Bonniville, Celia
Wood, Lois Harder, and Betty
Jo Smith.
Louise Tate, Ann Bruton, and
Betty Crawford carried back
yellow ribbons as awards for
placing in third place in their
respective classes, and Doris
Champion, Barbara West, Bern
ice Day, Helen Leatherwood,
and Shirley Cliatt, won fourth
place white ribbons in the com
petition.

made up their well-developed
minds about the coming months
and years. ’Case you’re inter
ested—just drop in on second
Faircloth at intervals and ask
about the newest college gradu
ate occupations. Those mighty
seniors are up on the subject!
GOOD LUCK
SENIORS!
By PAT CADDELL
I wonder what Meredith girls
looked forward to in the spring,
(except perhaps May Day), be
fore President Campbell was
inspired to suggest this college’s
having an annual Faculty-Stu
dent Play Day. With the festivi
ties of May Day over and exams
looming ominously on the
horizon, they certainly niust
have had a certain depression.
What a shame that they could
not enjoy this much looked-for-
ward-to day!
But, you know, I have heard
it rumored that some Meredith
students are not particularly
impressed by or interested in
Faculty-Student Play Day. Why,
my goodness, do they not realize
that on this day we have an ex
traordinary opportunity to com
mune in friendly competition
with the very men and women
whose aim it is to help mold us
into useful and happy people?
In fact, we really have the
faculty on trial, a unique one in
that they must answer only yes
to the following questions: Are
you a good sport? Do you have a
sense of humor? Are you really
human? (Will you pass me if I
let you win?) I, for one, was
overjoyed to find that, with the
possible exception of the last
(maybe it would have helped if
I had been a music major), the
answers were all affirmative.
Naturally, it was not neces
sary to ask these questions out
right. Anyone seeing a host of
representatives from the faculty
singing “The Old Grey Mare,
She Ain’t What She Used To
Be” would spontaneously ac
claim the case, dismissed with a
loud “Yay, Faculty.” (Just be
cause the faculty s so nice
doesn’t mean we’re gonna let
them beat us again next year)!
