Meredith Group Enjoys ^
Sights and Shows in New York
Whether you envy them or not, I famous ones on the stage. Across the
five Meredithites consider them
selves very lucky to have spent the
Easter vacation in New York! Long
after the rest of us had left Meredith
on Wednesday, April 6, these five
were having a midnight supper to
pass the time until their train left
at 2:00 a.m., two hours late. The
ones headed north were Becky.
Calloway, Ernestine Cottrell, Jean
Puckett, Mrs. Renfro, and Miss
Williams.
Arriving the next morning, they
began their whirl of activities in
cluding a tour of the UN building
and a past-midnight ferry ride to
Staten Island.
Plays and T.V. shows occupied
the majority of the day and night
life. “Ted Mack Matinee,” “Kis
met,” Radio City Music Hall,
“Witness to the Prosecution,” and
“What’s My Line?” are only a few
of the shows they saw. And you
should hear the list of stars! Fred
Allen, John Daly, Leif Erickson, the
Chordettes, Zachary Scott, Faye
Emerson ,and Steve Allen. They
weren’t satisfied with just seeing the
They Make the Bee Hive Buzz
street from the Piccadilly Hotel,
where they stayed, MacDonald
Carey was playing in “Anniversary
Waltz.” Their eyes were kept peeled
on the stage door every night, but
they never saw their hero leave the
theater.
They tried hard to keep from
looking new to the city — looking
up, that is — and maybe they suc
ceeded. But they admitted that they
couldn’t cover up their southernness.
They were teased everywhere they
went, but the pay off came when a
man inquired, “What part of Maine
are y’aU from?” Even though the
New Yorkers set a fast pace, the
Southerners found them to be very
friendly. They even found peace
fulness on top of the skyscrapers.
In keeping with the Easter sea
son, they attended the Easter serv
ice at Riverside Church, and Becky
and Ernestine went to mass at St.
Patrick’s Cathedral. Climaxing the
day was the Easter Parade, with its
spectacular Meredithites.
They arrived in Raleigh Monday
night in time for the eleven o’clock
curfew.
Congratulations to
Mish English,
New Twig Editor
Cathy Yates makes a purchase at the Bee Hive from Catherine Hudgins and
Iris Faye Sullivan, student workers.
Mish English
The Twig welcomes as its editor
for the year 1955-56 one of Mere
dith College’s most popular and tal
ented girls. “Mish” English is
interested in everything and keeps
quite busy — as one may see from
a list of activities in which she par
ticipates. Anyone would guess that
she is a music major when told that
Mish is a member of S. A. I. and
the McDowell Music Club. She is
accompanist for Chorus, the Triple
Trio, and the Folk Dance Group as
well as accompanist for Marjorie
Thore and “Mutt” Lane. She also
directs the Westover Methodist
Church Choir. This would be
enough music for some people, but
Mish wants still more, so she works
in the office in the music building
and is manager of the Music Store.
However, some people can do every
thing! Mish is on the A. A. Board,
the Twig Staff, and she was active
in Stunt. She does all these things
and is stUl a Dean’s List Student.
On the personal side, Mish likes
to laugh and talk—especially about
the Navy. She also likes to read and
thinks everyone should join a book
club. Just ask her. Her suitemates
say that she is a “flutter bug,” but
they have great times when they
can keep her home.
Last summer Mish directed the
choir of the First Baptist Church of
Zebulon, and this summer she
hopes to work in a music camp m In-
terlochen, Michigan. ,
The old and new Twig Staff feel
very fortunate in having such a
capable and interesting girl as the
new editor.
QUEEN PHOEBE
(Continued from page one)
this year’s honor attendant. A mem
ber of Sigma Pi Alpha, she was in
the May Day entertainment last
year. An old hand at beauty con
tests, she was Miss Currituck in the
Albemarle Potato Festival, campus
beauty for the Raleigh Times last
year, and only last week she was in
the Safety Parade in Rocky Mount.
The seniors’ tastes this year
turned to short blondes, it seems, for
they picked June Vann and Jane
Collins. June is a sociology major
from Washington, North Carolina.
Besides being a campus beauty for
the Raleigh Times during her fresh
man year, she also modeled for
Ivey-Taylor’s down town. This year
she has held such important posi
tions as Social Standards Chairman
and Religious Emphasis Week
Chairman, but June’s important
event right now is that on June 4
she becomes Mrs. Cal Ussery. Jane,
a day student who already has a
husband, is majoring in education
and is student teaching at the pres
ent time. Very active in the Mrs.
Club, she lives here in Raleigh.
We have James Mallory, who is in
Duke Medical School, to thank for
the fact that iSetsy Tippitt, junior,
transferred here from Polytechnical
Institute. She is a sociology major,
and is from Anniston, Alabama. In
cidentally, she was Miss Anniston in
the Miss Alabama Contest two
years ago. The other junior atten
dant is Jean Puckett, who is next
year’s Day Student President. She
is majoring in home economics —
she must be planning to cook for
the owner of that Wake Forest Pi
Kappa Alpha pin, Chris Coley.
The sophomores also chose two
of their blonde sisters to be in the
court this year. Mary Edna Grimes,
who wears an ATO pin from Caro
lina, has been wielding another pen
this year as secretary of the A.A.
A home economics major from
Smithfield, she was active last year
as treasurer of her class and a model
in the Phi Fashion show. She is also
a freshman counselor, and next year
will be serving as vice-president of

About the most popular place on
campus is the Bee Hive, and be
lieve me, things are really buzzing
there. Can you think of any need
that cannot be met in the Bee Hive?
If it’s relaxation you want, where
else can you sit comfortably sipping
a coke and reading a magazine
(free) or thinking about that
dreamy date you had last night? If
food is what you crave, think of all
the A.A. Board. Diana Jones who
lives in Thomasville, is a transfer
from East Carolina. She is a member
of the chorus and the Playhouse,
where she will be remembered as
Susan in the Late Christopher Bean.
This primary education major is
really looking forward to May Day,
for she is not only in the court, but
is riding in the horse show and sing
ing at the chorus concert.
Miriam Dempsey, freshman at-
tendent, is an old hand at May
courts, for she was an attendant in
her high school May Day also. She
is a Dean’s List student from Au-
lander and is studying organ.
Miriam won a scholarship for $800
for placing third in last year’s N. C.
Bankers Association Speakers con
test. A prospective seminary stu
dent, she was on the music com
mittee of the greater B.S.U. council.
Martha Fasul, a striking Fayette
ville miss, is our other freshman at-
tendent. She is a member of the
Spanish Club and was on the volley
ball team. Before coming to Mere
dith, she was captain of the Fay
etteville high basketball team and
was in the Miss Fayetteville High
School contest for two years. Not
only is she of Greek descent, but
she can speak and write the Ian
guage as well for she attended Greek
boarding school in New York for
two years.
So when April 30 rolls around,
these are the lovely misses who will
grace Meredith’s . version of an
English country fair.
the delicious things to eat found in
the Bee Hive, things so tempting
that as we walk in the door, that
diet we have so religiously been
following flies out the window and
we buy another supply of those
dreaded calories. Most all our needs
and wants are filled there, for we
can get anything from soap to greet
ing cards. Yes, it’s about the most
patronized place on the campus, and
if you don’t believe me just drop in
sometimes, anytime, and see how
many of your friends are there. But
I am quite sure I don’t have to tel
you to go there beeause my opinion
is that it is that much talked about
sixth sense that guides us there.
On top of all the other ad
vantages offered by the Bee Hive
we have entertainment too, T.V.,
though sometimes we wonder why
the actors don’t freeze with all that
snow. All kidding aside, the recep
tion is pretty good, and it is nice to
be able to keep up with the hap
penings in the T.V. world.
We should be indeed grateful to
the girls who help us and get the
things we ask for. Not only do the
girls have to be good soda jerks, but
also they are in charge of keeping
the shelves stacked, collecting
cleaning on each hall, and seeing
that the Bee Hive is in good order.
If you don’t think this is a real job,
just try it sometimes. One of the
nicest things about the Bee Hive is
the warm smile and friendly greet
ing that goes with each purchase and
even without a purchase. The girls
really do a wonderful job and are
very conscientious about their work.
Dot and Dru are so helpful and qn-
derstanding that they add much
to the warm atmosphere of the Bee
Hive. We appreciate the personal
interest the girls take in serving us.
They should be highly commended
for their work. We can show our ap
preciation to the workers by being
more patient in waiting our turn to
be served, and by leaving things as
clean as possible when we go out.
The girls who help us in the Bee
Hive are: Mary Kiser, Violet Over-
ton, Catherine Hutchins, Faye Sul-
hvan, Pat Corbett, Ann House,
Betty Smith, Rose Pierce, Alice
Pickelsimer, Eleanor Clark, and
Mary Lib Delbridge in the office.
An impressive candlelight in
stallation of the Student Govern
ment Council for 1955-56 was held
in Jones Auditorium on Tuesday,
April 12. Following the processional
of both the old and the new Coun
cils, Rebecca Calloway, retiring
president, read the scripture, and
Kay McCosley sang two stanzas of
the “Dedication Hymn.” Becky
then expressed her gratitude to
the student body for co-operation
with the council and urged further
support as she installed Betty Vance
as new president. Betty in turn gave
the new council the oath of office.
Following the singing of the “Alma
Mater,” the entire group recessed.
