May 22, 1953 THE TWIG Page five Borne Econotnics Students Entertained Art Education Classes Present Puppet Shows The home economics seniors have been honored at two recent events. On May 1, Miss Brewer entertained them at dinner at the Cedar Chest, her log cabin. The May Day idea was carried out in the decorations and menu, a miniature May pole centering the table and individual baskets of flowers marking each cover. Miss Hanyen and Mrs. Brew er were guests along with the fol lowing seniors: Jane Cate, Beth Ann Dixon, Trevah Garrett, Evelyn King, Joan Langley, Ardine Lewis, Jean nette Overby, Ann Partin, and Ce lia Wood. At the final meeting of the Home Economics Club on May 7, the,sen iors were inducted into the Ameri can and the North Carolina Home Economics Associations. The club is proud of the record established dur ing the past few years in that prac tically 100 per cent of its senior members have joined their profes sional organizations before ^adua tion. A social hour was held in their honor after the induction. Bieredith Represented Johnston County Meet Miss Mae Grimmer, Meredith alumnae secretary, and Cherrie Beddingfield, a junior, attended the annual Johnston County Alumnae Chapter luncheon on May 9, 1953. Miss Grimmer spoke to the group about the activities of other alum nae chapters, and Cherrie told of the experiences she has had as a junior at Meredith. A Perfect Boner A class of freshmen were recent ly asked to scan some poetry on a test. The passages to be scanner were begun on the first board and continued on the next. At the bot tom of the first board Dr. Rose wrote “See side board.” One fresh man carefully scanned the passage thus: Cannon to right of them Cannon to left of them Volleyed and thundered See side board. In explanation she wrote, “the meter of this passage is dactylic di meter with a strange variation in the last line.” On Tuesday, May 12, the two art education classes, under the leader ship of Mr. Colson, presented to the student body two puppet shows: “The Tale of a Wolf’ and “To the Rescue.” The classes divided themselves into committees in order to enable everyone to participate and to gain experience in presenting a puppet show. This experience will be prof itable in their future teaching. The majority of the puppets were created with paper mache heads and cloth bodies; others were made of cardboard. Both the puppets and the scenery were designed by the art education classes. Campus Beauty Places In Smithtield Show Campus Beauty recently took sec ond place in the Opener’s Three- Gaited Class of the Smithfield Horse- show. Miss Mary Mackay, horse back instructor, showed the horse. Campus Beauty is a registered three-gaited mare. She is a relatively newcomer to the Meredith Stables. Campus Beauty and all the other horses will be here during summer school this summer. VACATION PLANS OF FACULTY A Good Boner An English major posted a no tice on the faculty bulletin board (of all places) saying, “Since it would be quiet a job to see you all, please put your plans for summer in the envelope below.” (Continued from page four) Churchville, Virginia. She should be a great help in explaining parity, and, in a pinch, could probably hold her own at hoeing. Dr. Maxine Garner will be visit ing the two most popular sections in North Carolina through June and July, the mountains and the sea shore. Throughout June she will work with training classes of Sunday School teachers in the western part of the state, and in July with pros pective college students at the Bap tist assembly at Caswell. We know she’ll give those students a fine representation of life at Meredith. We all hope Miss Phyllis Weyer and Miss Nellie Ellison find that the “Meredith Angels” compare fa vorably with the students that they’ll be teaching at Ball State Teachers’ College and Appalachian State Teachers’ College, respectively. Miss Weyer is going to Ball in Mun- cie, Indiana, as visiting professor in violin. Miss Ellison plans to teach beginning shorthand and typewrit ing at Appalachian the first summer term. After leaving Boone, Miss Ellison will plan to visit her family in Beckley, West, Virginia, going over to the “blue'grass country” to visit friends occasionally. Dr. Quentin McAllister will be helping Meredith students with Spanish verb forms during the sum mer session here. After completing his teaching. Dr. McAllister plans to do some research and some writ ing- , . Visits to the campuses of univer sities in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and Tennessee will be part of Miss Mar tha Hill’s summer activities. These visits are to be made in connection with research work at the Univer sity of Kentucky. A summer of re search and travel should bring Miss Hill many new experiences to share with us next fall. If you are interested in acquiring accommodations for the Chautau qua Institution, Chautauqua, New York, between July 5 and August 30, you might contact Miss Mar garet J. Schwartz. Miss Schwartz will be hostess at the Disciples of Christ headquarters at Chautau qua. This year’s season at Chautau qua, where one can enjoy study or recreation, relaxation, and rest, will have Walter Hendl, conductor of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, as director of Chautauqua’s Sym phony. Miss Schwartz extends an invitation to any Meredithite to stop by and see her at Chautauqua dur ing July and August. If some stu dent should be traveling' in the Buffalo-Niagara Ealls area during June or September, Miss Schwartz says she will be at home: 167 Payne Avenue, North Tonawanda, and would not forgive anyone who didn’t stop, or at least phone. We have had no official report, but we believe Dr. Mary Lynch Johnson’s summer will be devoted to working on her history of Mere dith College, a book we’re all eager ly awaiting. To all the leaders of the Mere dith “Angel Band” The Twig ex tends its very best wishes for a happy summer vacation. “Please Hurry Back” BUT DON'T FORGET WHEN YOU LEAVE RALEIGH—YOU ORDER ART SUPPLIES FROM MOBLEY'S "RALEIGH'S ART CENTER" no S. Salisbury Street A MBASSADOP' Today and Saturday "TH UNDERBIRDS" Starring JOHN DEREK MONA FREEMAN CUSTOMARY ACADEMIC (Continued from page four) fitted the head tightly and the hood which was allowed to drop over the back. The characteristic square top of the cap seems to be an Oxford innovation with the incredible ex planations that it is symbolic of the master workman’s mortar board or the quadrangular shape of an Eng lish college. In America the dress of various academic degrees has been standard ized by an intercollegiate code. The hood in this country is the most characteristic and distinguishing fea ture. While the cap and gown are also worn to meet certain specifi cations as to degree, it is the color ful hood or scarf that really marks the rank of the wearer. The hood varies in length with the various degrees. A bachelor’s hood is approximately three feet in length; a master’s, three and a half, and that of a doctor’s, about four. The doctor’s hood is rounded in the back, but the other hoods are more angular. The department in which the degree has been at tained is denoted by the color of the central section of the hood. A few colors that will be prevalent over college campuses this spring are white for the department of arts, pink for the department of music, yellow for the sciences, light blue for education, blue for phi losophy, and green for medicine. College seniors in June will be continuing a symbol of excellence six hundred years old by wearing the cap and gown in the academic procession. /# Starts Sunday, May 24 "DESERT SONG In Technicolor KATHRYN GRAYSON GORDON MACRAE Again Today & Saturday CLARK GABLE GENE TIERNEY in // NEVER LET ME GO" Starts Sunday for Entire Week ROBERT RYAN MALA POWERS — in — "CITY BENEATH THE SEA In Technicolor STATE ) School of Religious Education SOUTHWESTERN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Begins 39th Session Sept. 7, 1953 More Than 1,800 Graduates Over 750 Students the Past Year Offers B.R.E., M.R.E., and D.R.E.

The bad guys always ride dark horses; the hero or his pal rides white. You can tell good from bad way down the canyon. Not so easy are the real problems the kids grow up to meet. Danger may ride the white hor-se, and even dg jjie singing round the campfire. Like the people who try to push America into socialism. The things they propose, they say, are “to protect the people” or are “benefits only government can provide. But you can spot the marks of socialism if you listen closely. 'The clues are these words: “the federal government should own and run” or “the govern^ ment should take over” or “government can do it better and cheaper.” Those are the sure signs of socialism. History proves it in country after country in Europe and Asia. In the last 2 or 3 years, millions of Americans have recognized the threat right here in the U. S. For socialistic ideas have spread alarmingly here. And the ways to stop socialism are to recognize it—to help your children and friends understand its dangers— to help your representatives in government resist its pres sures—whether it’s riding a dark horse or a white one. • "MEET CORLISS ARCHER"-ABC-fridays-9:30 P.M., Eastern Time (^CAROLlNA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY^
