THE TWIG
March 7i, 1952
Doris Perry to be ^Twig” Editor
By MARGIE BLANKExNSIIIP p
A lot goes on at Meredith.
People who ruefully study low |
grades while whipping up a
Palio costume all agree to that.
Week events compose a college
panorama of time-consuming
lun, and life is never dull on the
week-ends. Yet, for two-week
ends a month whenever fingers
fly over the typewriter keys and
the publications’ room is littered
witii jean-clad girls, copy paper
and coke bottles, you may be
sure that D Uay (deadline) for
the TWIG staff has rolled
around.
That’s why choosing good
leaders for the 1952-53 staff is
so important. Doris Perry, whose
only comment was that she was
“real excited” about being next
year’s editor, has worked on the
TWIG for three years. This
young journalist from Elizabeth
City has a full term ahead for
she will add the TWIG leader
ship to her study of English and
religion. “But I’m really looking
forward to it all,” she laughingly
asserts.
Doris does not plan to enter
the field of journalism, however.
“I’ll either teach or do church
work,” she explained, and then
added with a twinkle in her
eye, “Who knows? 1 might write
a great book someday.”
As her assistant editor, Doris
has chosen Joan Langley of
Lynchburg, Va. Although her
main interest is home economics,
Joan has enjoyed her TWIG re
sponsibilities this year as manag
ing editor. “1 guess I first got the
writing bug when 1 was literary
editor of the ‘High Times’ back
in the Lynchburg high school,”
she recalls. “When 1 graduate.
I’ll either teach home economics
or be a home economist.”
Both girls will assume the
leadership of the TWIG for the
PSI CHI CLUB
PUESmS PLAY
On March 25 during the reg
ular chapel hour, the Psi Chi
Club will present a one act play,
“The Ins and Outs,” by Nora
Stirling. The short psychological
drama concerns the trials of an
unpopular boy who tries des
perately to gain admittance to
the leading group in a typical
American high school.
Through a series of thought
sequences the audience learns
what is going on in the minds of
the characters and how the “out”
boy finally becomes a member
of the “in” group.
The list of characters includes
Bobbie Addy as Mack, Ann
O’Quinn as Mickie, Becky Buch
anan as Betty, Willie Kerlee as
Joe, and Sarah Thomas as Lee.
Miss Judith Mayes is directing
the play.

You will remember the two
speakers, Hylia Stunts and Py-
rette Coleo, who came to us from
the W.S.S.F. They pointed out
the terrific need of students all
over the world and what we
could do to help them. We need
to remember that these students
are struggling for a mere exist
ence. Many are dying from T. B.,
mal-nutrition and other diseases,
but they also need laboratory
facilities, libraries, housing and
even a place to sleep. They need
help from their fellow students
in America to answer some of
their needs.

The date for the beginning of
the North Carolina District
Music Contest is getting closer.
The high-school contest begins
March 11 and last through the 14
and will include voice, piano,
chorus and band numbers. Many
of us will want to listen to the
participants of the high schools
from which we have graduated.
The Sigma Alpha Iota fratern
ity met at the home of Dr. and
Mrs. Campbell February 26 and
presented a musical at the end
of a brief business meeting.
Those on the program were:
Jane Slate, Marion Winston, and
Shelley Millican. After the Pro
gram, refreshments were served.
Then everybody walked back to
school in the snow!
The Raleigh Chamber Music
Guild presented the “Chamber
Music Ensemble” Saturday,
March 1, Mr. Stuart Pratt and
Miss Phyllis Weyer of our music
department were in the ensem
ble. It was a very entertaining
program, and one of the main
interest was the harpsichord.
Those of us who heard Rug
giero Ricci, violinist, presented
by the Civic Music Association
will agree to his outstanding
musicianship. I would like to
mention, for the benefit of those
who weren’t able to attend, that
right in the middle of the Bartok
number one of his violin strings
broke. It was a comical situation,
but he went through the remain
ing portion of his program in
grand style. Also, I would like
to add that Miss Woodman had
the privilege of turning pages
for Ricci.
Forty-four members of the
Meredith Chorus are going to
sing for the annual W.M.U. Con
vention in Durham, March 12.
They are singing the Brother
James Air by Jacob, and Lau
dato, by Lowers.
Miss Jean Miller will sing in
Greenville, N. C. this week-end
at the home of Miss Louise
Fleming.

Hossfield has written numerous
articles and has lectured
throughout the United States on
the subject of typewriting.
George Hossfield established
a record of 143 net words a min
ute for one hour to win his first
World’s Professional Champion
ship. In explaining his time, he
said, “All of the records men
tioned were made on the basis of
counting actual words instead
of counting each five strokes as
one word, as is done on the
present basis.”
His highest official record
using the five stroke word
count, is 139 net words a minute
for one hour’s typing from un
familiar material. Mr. Hossfield
has the distinction of being the
only one to have ever w'on the
