► March 7, 19^2 THE TWIG Page five STAR STORIES Basketball Team Defeats Carolina PHI'S BEAR TALES Elections are finally here! Several names were presented to the nominating committee by the Astrotekton society as pros pective candidates for the presi dency. They are Adele Buening, Sally Smith, Nancy Jo Wallis, Sue Bunn, and Elizabeth Ham rick. (An excellent group from which to choose a president!) At the last meeting, copies of the revised constitution were given to the members so that the revisions might be studied care fully before voting on its accept ance at the next meeting. The main change concerns the coun cil, which had formerly been composed only of the officers but which now includes representa- 1 tives from each class. If you have any criticisms or additions to make, please do not hesitate to go to one of the present officers with your suggestions. Plans are now underway for an Easter party at St. Agnes Hospital and also for a big so ciety hayride. The girls going to St. Agnes will carry Easter bas kets to the children, and every one will have a grand time bring ing the “Easter bunny” to the little boys and girls. The tenta tive date for the hayride is Fri day, April 18. Although the date is a long way off, it gives all of us something to look forward to. Carolyn Little. STUDENT LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS WILL HEAR R. MAYNE ALBRIGHT Phido wishes to remind us of our new project of fixing up Phi Hall. The drapery material has been bought and plans are being made to have an old fashioned sewing bee. Whether you are a Home Economics major or not, get your needles and thimbles together and come and help us make our drapes. Sounds like lots of fun, so don’t miss it! Election time is here once again. It is time for us to begin to think seriously about our Phi officers for next year. It will be a hard job to find officers who will do as fine a job as this year’s officers have done. May we take time out right here to say a word of appreciation to Betty Jo Smith, our president for the grand job she has done in lead ing us in all of our activities for the year. Also, we wish to say thank you to Nancy House, our vice-president, Meta Mae Wil liams, our secretary, and Bootsey Renfro, our treasurer for bringing us through the year with fiying colors. We are look ing forward to next year with great hopes for a third consecu tive win for the Phis. Have you noticed the new ad ditions in the Bee Hive? Now each of us may have a Phido of our very own. The Phis bears with their purple vests are now on sale at the Bee Hive. Be sure The Meredith College basket ball team added another victory by defeating Carolina with a score of 54-40 on February 20.

Are you interested in local and national govern- iftent? It is the duty of every girl to become an intelligent voter and to learn as much as possible about our government. The Meredith Student League of Women Voters has, as its aim, to give its members an insight into some of the current political problems. This aim is particularly being carried out in the March meeting of the Student League. On March 18, R. Mayne Albright, prominent Raleigh lawyer and candidate in the last North Carolina guberna torial campaign, will speak to the Student League about “Needed Legislation in North Carolina.” The group, organized in the spring of 1930 to create interest and inform members of current political affairs, each year sends representatives to the North Carolina State Student Legisla te get one for your room. There are also many varieties of shirts and sweaters with the Phi Bear and Astro goat on them. Gordie Maxwell.

MAYNE ALBRIGHT By JANE SEATE If you are wondering why so many of the Meredith girls are a wee bit bowed in the Ings, or slightly pidgeon-toed, or wly their hair looks somewhat wind blown, or why their deep south ern drawl or Yankee brogue is spiced with such phrases as I always forget to tighten the cinch” or “I never can get that right lead,” or perhaps, “I need to work on my diagnols ; its not just a fad or the result of too much book work. Undoubtedly they are members of the Hoot Print club. „ It doesn’t take “horse s^se to know that the Hoof Print club isn’t merely to stimulate interest in horseback riding, sportsmanship, and showman ship. It is also a grand social gathering for those lucky girls who take ridifig, or who are in terested and would like to join the club. The club sponsors supper rides; you saddle up a “boss,” pack a lunch, and go for a nice long ride out in the world of Mother Nature. Or perhaps it is a wein- ner roast by some lakeside. Most of all, the riders look forward to Zeno Martin’s breakfast ride. Then you rise early some warm spring morn, choose yourself a “prancing steed,” and off you go with Mr. Martin at the lead on one of his beautiful walking horses. You ride a good many miles out in the country to his farm and arrive starving. Never have your eyes looked upon such a breakfast, with Mr. Martin as “chief cook and bottle washer.” It’s a ride you’ll never forget! When time for the annual spring horse show arrives, each member takes an active part. The excitement mounts as the crowds gather, the judges smile knowingly, and your stomach does flip flops. But how thrilling it is to those who will prance out with a ribbon clenched be tween their teeth! All of the hours of practice and grooming their horses will seem well worth the efforts put forth when smiles of approval and applause greets them or when that great big, wonderful compliment is heard, “Boy, can she ever ride!” The club wishes to welcome all of the new members and urge all of you horse lovers to come join the fun down at the stables.
