Plans for Vacation
GUESTS ENJOYED
MAY DAY WEEKEND
By JANE SLATE
The past weeks have held
much in the field of music, not
only with graduating recitals,
but also recitals given by candi
dates for the Bachelor of Music
Degree.
In the last issue I was only
able to call attention to the re
citals of Nancy Hall, “Lib
Zulalian, and Susan Graham
(all candidates for the B.M. de
gree). I think it only fitting to
give credit where credit is due,
and they’ve really set a goal for
all of us by doing such a marve
lous job. I know I speak for
everyone in wishing them the
best of everything and to each
a very successful career.
While I’m reminding you of
past recitals, let me not over
look the one of Orlena Jameson.
Although she had her first two
year’s training at Mars Hill, we
take full credit for her very
lovely recital.
These recitals have finished a
most successful year in the
music department, but the
school year would not be com
plete without the commence
ment music. On Friday night
the Juniors (not to be out done
by the Seniors) will give the an
nual Junior recital in which
Jean Olive, Dot Allen, Pat Rob
erts, and Jane Stroup will par
ticipate. The Glee Club will also
perform the Brahm’s “Liebeslied
Walser” on this program. On
Saturday night the Group of
Twelve will sing at the Society
Night Program. To put the fin
ishing touches on the year, the
choir will sing at the Baccalau
reate sermon and at the Gradua
tion exercises; Jean Miller and
Nancy Hall will be soloists in
“Alleluia” and “Agnus Dei” re
spectively.
And this finishes out the year
49-50; so until next September,
I’ll bid you farewell when I’ll
again be back with more news
of music at Meredith College.
Accounting Class Happily
Throws Work in Bon Fire
As the flames bit high and the
smoke curled gracefully into the
sky, the accounting class of
Meredith College watched the
product of a month’s hard work
vanish into ashes.
Morning, noon, and night for
four weeks, these girls had
poured laboriously over thmr
semester’s accounting practice
set. Yet, as they stood before
the whipping, crackling fire
watching the books and papers
burn, not a tear was shed. Only
\ expressions of proud relief cov-
' ered their faces, for this ”mo-
! mentous bonfire” represented
' the completion of a task well
done.
On Thursday afternoon. May
4, the members of the account
ing class were honored by Miss
Margaret Gregory, class in
structor, at a gathering at the
chimney to celebrate the com-
plation of these practice sets.
The girls decided to destroy
these sets with due ritual in a
mass bonfire, and 'as they cele
brated, wieners a id cokes were
served.
EUROPEAN TRIP IS
RELIGION PROGRAM
Meredith Seniors Get
TeachingCertificates
Those attending the meeting
of the Freeman Religion Club
on May 12, took an imaginary
trip to Europe, as Harriet Little
john, a graduate of Meredith
from Wallace, North Carolina,
described some of the places
visited during her trip to that
continent last summer.
A1 Stewart, another member
of the party that attended the
World Baptist Youth Confer
ence at Cophenhagen, showed
slides made in various European
countries.
Eligible to receive their teach
ing certificates this spring are
twenty-five of Meredith s sen
iors. These State A-Grade certifi
cates are given annually to girls
completing the required work in
the Education Department.
The girls working for these
certificates and their majors are;
Biology, (Mrs.) Elsie Roberts
and Kathleen Perry; Business,
Emogene Narron; Grammar
Grades, Elizabeth Machen and
(Mrs.) Claudine Watson; Pri
mary Grades, Anne Brown, Dor
othy Childress, Betsy Edwards,
Gladys Green, Betsy Mills, Nell
Parker, Marjorie Wall.
In English, Bertha Wilson;
Home Economics, (Mrs.) Juanita
Black, (Mrs.) Gladys Johnson,
Jane McDaniel, Marianna Mi-
zelle, Carolyn Moore, Frances
Williams, Hazel Williamson;

White; Sciences, Evelyn Stall
ings; Social Sciences, Annette
Miller; Sociology, Anita Free
man.
Eligible for B-Grade certifi
cates are Betsy Ann Morgan and
La Verne Austin, both Religion
majors.
“What are you going to do
this summer?” I asked. And the
look they gave me! As if to say,
“What do you care?” “Who,
me?” “Well, how nosey can you
get?” But after I had explained
that I was writing an article for
the Twig, and they had sighed
“oh,” I learned a great deal
about their summer plans.
While Frankie Meadows, Lib
Jones, Betsy Mills, Myra Rhodes,
and lots more are planning wed
dings, Dicky Phillips, Dorothy
Thomas, Ginger Foote, and other
ambitious souls will be in sum
mer school; Sally Massey, Betty
Jane Hedgepeth, and Joan Lang
ley will be busy as camp
counselors.
Betty Jo Welch, Julia Parker,
Frances Altman, and scores of
other good Baptists will do Bap
tist summer work. Lucyann
Liddy is planning to do govern
ment work, either with the De
partment of Agriculture or the
Census Bureau, and Joanne Ma
son will have complete charge
of the choir in her home church.
Adele Buening and Ruth
Craven will be working in de
partment stores, and so will a
lot more if they can get jobs.
Some girls tell me that they’re
old hands at handling tobacco
and plan to work with it this
summer, while Bess Frances de
clares that she’ll be “pickin’
beans, hoein’ corn, and diggin’
^tcitGrs
And then there’re those
who’ll spend the summer travel
ing, staying home, or basking in
the sun at the beach. Florida
beckons to Jean Joyner and to
Joyce Brown, Nancy House, and
Mary Casey, who are going to
visit Lillian Garnett. Some in
our midst are even planning to
go to Europe this summer! Must
be wonderful!
Miss Grant’s postoffice box
has been stuffed with letters this
week, not filled with applica
tions for next year from State
boys, but with enthusiastic
thank-you notes from many of
the high-school students who
spent May Day week end here
as guests of the college.
Letters from Spartanburg,
Forest City, Leaksville, Reids-
ville, and Richmond are indica
tive of the many others received
—all of the girls seemed to have
been greatly impressed with the
dorm life at Meredith, so much
that many of them are planning
to come back in the fall to take
an active part.
The guests writing back to ex
press their thanks mention every
part of the week end—from the
Glee Club concert to the Horse
Show—as having been wonder
ful entertainment for them. The
May Day exercises are described
as being particularly beautiful
—although one girl said she was
sure she could be an elf in that
dance as well as those she saw!
At any rate, Meredith girls
and the administration seem to
have been successful hostesses
for the week-end, and to have
left a most favorable impression.
A vote of thanks is due the mem
bers of the Student Government
who helped as official hostesses,
and especially to Fran Altman,
who served as student chairman.
Alumnae Marriages

Parker, and Miss Currin; Faye
Nichols, invitation committee,

Welsh; Mary Ann Westbrook,
clean-up committee, with Sarah
Coxe and Betty Jo Smith.

An additional note of interest
to Meredith girls is that 32 girls

to Meredith. The grandmothers
of two girls, Martha Robinson,
a rising junior, and Barbara
Pearson, a rising senior, came to
Meredith!
