Page six THE TWIG May 19, 1950 Inquiring Reporter: 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; Mathematics, (Mrs.) Bobbie Rat liff; Public School Music, Jean 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 of Last Two Years Faircloth was appropriately dec orated under the direction of Ann Winslow with Elaine Saunders and Jean Dula helping her. Other chairman were Evelyn Wilson, refreshment committee, with Mary Evelyn Brown, Julia Parker, and Miss Currin; Faye Nichols, invitation committee, with Dot Hart and Betty Jo Welsh; Mary Ann Westbrook, clean-up committee, with Sarah Coxe and Betty Jo Smith.
