This enrpllment for the (Continued on page three) Graduates to be Honored By President and Wife Dr. and Mrs. Campbell have in vited the prospective May graduates to their annual Senior buffet sup pers. The first of this year’s sup pers was held last Sunday evening at the Campbells’ home. Eighteen seniors as well as members of the faculty attended the supper as will a corresponding number on each of the following dates: March 17 and 18, and April 7 and 8. An alumnae of the College has said, “This is the most delightful evening any student will spend dur- ’ ing her stay at Meredith College.” Silver Shields’s Tapping Service on February 21 saw two Cathy’s and a Shirley added to the roster of the honor society. Shirley Spoon, a well-known sen ior from Charlotte, is a home eco nomics major now residing in the practice house and, to use her words, “eating too much.” Shirley worked her way up in the Meredith B.S.U. Treasurer her sophomore year, social vice-presi dent her junior year, she is now serv ing as president of our B.S.U. and president of the Wake County B.S.U. Council. Last year she served as secretary of the Wake County Coun cil and social vice-president on the state council. Shirley was Baptist representative to the N. C. Student Christian Conference at Chapel Hill this year and a delegate to the Ecumenical Conference in Athens, Ohio. Her one other trip out of North Carolina was to attend the National Negro B.S.U. Convention in Athens, Tennessee, her freshman year. A Who’s Who girl, Shirley likes to cook and to sew. Her future may hold a seminary, a job as a die tician or “who knows” as Shirley says. Cathy Yates hails from Pittsboro, N. C., and is an English major now practice - teaching at Needham Broughton High School. Cathy is president of the Grand daughters’ Club, sergeant-at-arms for the Philaretian Society, and cir culation manager for the Acorn. As publicity pianager on the A.A. Board, her position on the Twig is that of sports editor. There just isn’t a sport Cathy doesn’t participate in, according to her suitemates. She was on the varsity hockey and volleyball teams this year and was voted most athletic by her s'enior class. Her suite votes her “most noisiest” on 2nd Brewer. A transfer Tom Mars Hill, Cathy is a Dean’s : Jst student. Our other Cathy is named Atkins, and she is a senior history major from Albemarle, N. C. As for her future plans she may teach history or work in a historical museum. Drama is Cathy’s first love, and she is active in the Playhouse as well as Alpha Psi Omega Honorary Dramatics Society. She directed her class stunts both last year and this year. As a junior, she was class vice-president. She, too, is on the Dean’s List. Cathy is one of the gals who gives us aU that nice mail at the post office. She says the trials and tribu lations of P.O. work are many and varied. “People would rather get mail than eat,” says Cathy. Tonight at 8:00 p.m., in Jones Auditorium, Margaret Anne Eng lish, senior piano major, will pre sent her graduation recital. From Cary and a student of Stuart Pratt, Margaret Anne is editor of the Twig and a member of Silver Shield, Kappa Nu Sigma, and Sigma Alpha Iota. She is on Dean’s List and is listed in Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities. Margaret Ann, better known on campus as “Mish,” is the eleven year winner of the National Piano Playing Auditions and winner of the Paderewski Medal. Her program includes: “Prelude and Fugue in A-Flat Major” and “Prelude and Fugue in F Ma jor,” both from Book I of the Well- Tempered Clavier by Bach; “Thirty- two Variations in C Minor” by Beethoven; “Sonatine” by Ravel; and “Concerto No. 2 in A Major” by Liszt. Marshals for the recital tonight are Betty Deloatch, Carolyn English, Mary Kiser, Margaret Layne, Ruth Sperling, and Marjorie Thore. “The Earth” Given By Dance Group MUSIC TEACHERS MEET HERE A meeting of all the music teach ers of the Baptist colleges in North Carolina — both Junior and Senior colleges — was held here at Mere dith March 2 and 3. The Meredith music faculty was host to this con vention that began Friday after noon and ended Saturday after noon. By PAM HARTSELL In the dance recital of February 25, Dr. Claire Weigt and the choreos presented a story in verse and dance. A reading of poetry by the narrator and voice of earth pre ceded the dances in order to pro vide an orderly, understandable out line for the audience and to set the mood for the dancers. From the very movements of the bodies to the floor patterns, a bal ance was achieved which produced unity and harmony throughout. Repetition played an important part in developing the theme of earth, especially in achieving a monoto nous sensation during the dance of drudgery. The presence of the rear platform provided a variety of levels for various dances. This de vice was especially effective in the dance of greed. The main emphasis of the dance drama centered around Earth, danced by Dr. Weigt; however, the audience was certainly attracted by the figures which she witnessed, some of which were planets, toiling man, figures of speed, monster of greed, and common earth people (Continued on page three) The North Carolina Litera^ Forum will hold its first meeting in the Meredith College Auditorium. The purpose of the forum, which is hoped to become an annual affair in Raleigh, is to discuss American books and authors generally, with particular emphasis on Southern authors and books. The talk will be of the informal, give and take va riety among authors and between authors and members of the audience. The forum will be open to every body and a large attendance is ex pected from throughout Eastern North Carolina. Jonathan Daniels, well - known Raleigh author, will serve as moderator. The theme will be “The Southern Renaissance,” or how Southern writing has reached its present status. Panel members who will discuss various aspects of the theme and their topics are: Paul Green of Chapel Hill, Tar Heel dramatist, “How We Got There”; Frances Gray Patton of Durham, short - story writer and author of Good Morning, Miss Dove, “Where Are We Going?”; Sam Ragan of Raleigh, managing editor of The News and Observer, “The, Merry-Go-Round We Are On”; and Mrs. Wilma Dykeman of Asheville, author of The French Broad, one of the Rivers of America series, “Who’s Doing It?” The North Carolina Literary Forum is the brain child of Miss Clyde Smith, librarian of the Olivia Raney Library, who thought that a forurti similar to the Town Meeting on Books could and should be held in Raleigh. She and Mrs. Wayne Burch are projects chairmen of the Raleigh Woman’s Club which is sponsoring the forum. Mrs. Burch will preside over the forum. The forum will be held on Thurs day, April 5, in the Meredith Col lege Auditorium. The forum will be conducted on Meredith’s campus through the efforts of the Tyner Future Teachers Chapter. Its mem bers will act as hostesses to the fa mous guests on campus. BUSINESS OFFICE LOSES SECRETARY The friendly greeting and smUe from Sylvia Tucker is being missed, I’m sure. Sylvia worked in the busi ness office as secretary to Mr. Bel cher. She came to Raleigh about a (Continued on page three) L u. ./4:eu fI/-/a I
