THE TWIG October 5, 1951 Romance Between Baker and Salad Maker Begins With Bread and Butter By BOBBIE AX>DY Bread and butter may not sound like very romantic fare, but it was the cause of at least one romance—that of the Lang Hintons. It is quite fitting that these two foods were involved in the case because the boy of the story is now the chief baker here at Meredith. It was on June 1, 1931, that Georgia Hinton met Lang Hin ton on her way home from the store with the mentioned items. Lang was working at State Col lege at the time, and he recog nized that Georgia was new in Raleigh. At first she thought that Lang was just another boy trying to be fresh, but he soon convinced her that he was not, and that night they had their first date. Georgia claims that she knew almost as much about her husband that night as she does now after 20 years of mar ried life. It seems that when she returned to her employer’s home, that careful woman made numerous telephone calls to learn the background of the young man that Georgia had met. These calls proved that Lang was a very dependable person of good character, and so the date was approved. When asked about this date, Georgia states that, “He was so hand some that I couldn’t help but have a good time. I saw him every night after that.” As with all good things, that first date and the ones following were supposed to end at 11 o’clock (sound familiar girls?), but Georgia smilingly confessed that she did not always meet this deadline. SENIORS ELECT CLASS PRESIDENT Baptist Cjeorgia attends the Oberlin Baptist Church where she is active in church groups. During the years that she has done work in the church, the Meredith girls have appeared in many programs for Georgia, and this year Betty Jo Smith will sing at a meeting on the first Sunday in October. Georgia states that the girls here at Meredith are “the finest girls I have met any where.” The Hintons are only three of the interesting and capable peo ple working in the Meredith kitchen. The rest of the staff includes (with their years of service) the following persons: Harry Dunston, 25 years; Ruth Beckwith, 10 years; Mary Ann Ligon, 10 years; Mozelle Fields, 5 years; Leroy Stewart, 5 years; Thomas and Lelia Smith, 5 years; Willie Morgan, 5 years; Joe Leake, 4 years; Amelia Hall, 2 years; Wesley Pope, 1 year; Thomas King, 1 year; Lottie Mae Kearney, 1 year; Wiley Rogers, new this fall. A Business major from Char lotte, North Carolina was elected president of the Senior Class on Friday, September 21. Dot Fisher defeated Jean Miller Sally Clark, and Peggy Poole in a close contest to command one of the most important cam pus offices. Other senior class officers are: vice-president, Ruth Ann Simmons; secretary, Mary Evelyn Hensley; treasurer, Lynette Adcock. Dot has had previous experi ence in office holding and other campus activities. In her sopho more year she was a member of the May Court. During the past year she was transfer counselor, reporter for the Psi Chi Club, and vice-president of the Philaretian society. This year in addition to being president of her class. Dot has membership in the Meredith Student Lea^e of Women Voters, Meredith Little Theater, Chorus, Tomorrow’s Business Women, and Psi Chi Club. Dot has chosen Psychology as her field of concentration. Courtship Theirs was a case of love at first sight, and the whirlwind courtship of six months ended in marriage in December 1931. The choice was a good one how ever, and Georgia claims that during the years of their mar ried life she and Lang have never had a serious argument. “He just doesn’t get mad at anything, and I can’t fuss at him all the time,” she says. There was to have been the conven tional marriage ceremony in church, but Lang, according to his wife, “. . . got cold feet, so we eloped.” The couple were married in South Carolina on the same day that the ceremony was to have taken place in this state. Despite the fact that Mrs. Hinton had 25 children, includ ing one set of twins and three sets of triplets, Lang and Geor gia had no ambitions to equa: her record; their only son, Henry Lang, was born May 7, 1933. Like his paternal grandmother, Henry set a record of his own— 100 visits to the hospital in 9 years. Now in good health, Henry is a student at the Berry O. Kelly High School and works part time at Meredith with his parents. At present, there are four members of the Hinton family employed at the college (Mozelle Fields, Lang’s sister, being the fourth), but at one time there were seven Hintons working here. Although Lang is the chief baker, Georgia points out that her husband’s specialty is, bread and rolls, and that Willie Mor gan is really the cake-baker. Georgia also likes to cook, and here at school she makes the salads. We may safely presume that in the house at 611 Tower Street, Georgia Hinton is the chief cook and baker because Lang’s favorite hobby, accord ing to his wife, is sleeping. CURTAIN UP (Continued from page three) some very good shows lined up for this year. The first produc tion will be “Darkness at Noon” opening on October 7. This play depicts the struggle between the people of the old communist party and those of the new party. I believe that everyone will enjoy the play. There will be four other plays during the year. Alpha Psi Omega, the dra matics fraternity on the campus, reminds all you Little Theatre members with nearly enough points to enter Alpha Psi to STAR STORIES (Continued from page three) coming by to wish you a big good-night, from himself and the Astrotekton Society! Billy’s motto is “He builds too low who builds beneath the stars.” We hope it will become yours, too! Carolynn Little. By SHELLEY MILLIGAN You can walk by the music building any time and hear any thing from Bach to Boogie, (well—not quite!!!) This year there are about thirty new enthusiastic music students which, added to the old students makes a total of sixty-seven stu dents. Among the new students are two seniors, Pat Sullivan, a voice major who transferred from Ward-Belmont, Nashville, Tennessee, and Phillis Strick land, an organ major who trans ferred from Salem College, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The Raleigh Oratorio Society has issued invitations to the senior voice majors to sing with them this year. The girls began last Monday night and will con tinue throughout the year. At the first concert, November 18, 1951, Brahm’s Requiem will be presented. The music department is sorry to have lost two of their faculty, Mrs. Eustler and Mrs. Howerton, but they are happy to welcome into their midst two very cap able instructors. Miss Janet Anderson, assistant piano and voice instructor from Minnesota, and Miss Phillis Weyer, violin instructor from Iowa. They are sure to prove excellent additions to the faculty. Jean Miller, president of the chorus this year, came through with a wonderful idea when she decided to have a weiner roast for the chorus to start the year off right. The weiner roast was held in the hut Thursday after noon September 27, and every one is said to have “enjoyed themselves.” Miss Donley is well pleased with the chorus this year, which has seventy-seven members. She (Continued on page five) can join us. Little Theatre has great plans for this year, and we hope that all of you who find a thrill in the theater will come to our meetings and help us. Little Theatre will be only as good as its members. We have loads of fun. Please pay us a visit and work hard this fall so that you!see for yourself. Meeting the gang to discuss a quiz —a date with the campus queen— or just killing time between classes —Brooks Student Store at Still water, Oklahoma is one of the fa vorite gathering spots for students at Oklahoma A & M College. At Brooks Student Store, as in college campus haunts everywhere, a frosty bottle of Coca-Cola is always on hand for the pause that refreshes— Coke belongs.

Cozy Cape Cod — Ranch-Type — Colonial? Or functional Modern? Most people prefer one of the traditional styles . . . yet everyone wants the most modern convenience there is — electric service, built-in and available in every room, in any quantity, at any time! It’s a modern miracle that even the most modest American homes do have wired help, ready at the flick of a switch, for washing, cleaning, sewing, cooking — for refrigeration and entertainment and a host of other jobs. Within a man’s lifetime, sound, business-managed companies have electrified an entire nation. And the cost to you? About the cost of a pack of cigarettes a day!
