4 ft Page two Time To Think Many could question the title, “Time to Think,” for is not every time the time to think? It seems, however, that in our student world, this is a particularly good moment for thought. The settling in period is over and our routine is running smoothly. It is now that we should consider why we are here. Whether we know it or not, students at Meredith-or any other college are king of the mountain.” For the only time in our lives, we are at a place that exists and functions just for us. The buildings, staff, faculty, and administration are here because of us. We do not come here as students in order that the faculty might have people to confine in classrooms or that the physical plant might make ends meet finan cially. These things come because wo do. One of our own professors has said that the teachers are here for us to use. Being used by 600 people seems quite a burden but our professors have chosen thus. We have four short years at Meredith, and working every moment it would be im possible for us to find and absorb all that she offers to us. So, we should never waste a fragment of time. Never again will we have the opportunity or the right to be so selfish, to spend every second receiving. Let us make the most of this brief time while it lasts, for all too soon we will be called upon to give in proportion to what we should have received. Do we want to be found lacking? Welcome to Meredith By now, alt new students have been officially and unofficially wel comed to the campus. Ideally, they no longer consider themselves “new students” but rather full-fledged members of the Meredith student body. They have been caught up in the daily round of classes, chapel, studying, library trips, dining hall fun, and dates. Those of us who are here for our second, third, or fourth year are responsible for making first year girls feel at home on campus. Meredith belongs to them as much as it does to us. The new students are not merely “increased enrollment” or new society members. They are a part of the Meredith family, without which none of us could function. On the other hand, those of you beginning your Meredith years have responsibility. To make the campus your own, you must make an effort to know it; not just your hall and your pro fessors, but every student, professor, and tradition of the school. Only to something you really know can you give full allegiance. The Twig staff wishes to add one more official welcome and then to say that The Twig is the campus newspaper. We want and need the participation of every one to put out a good paper. The Twig staff also wishes to welcome all new faculty and staff mem bers. You too, are no longer “new” but have become an indispensible part of our school life. To the freshmen and transfer students you are just more Meredith for them to know. The fact that you have been here no longer than they has not crossed their minds. Happily for us, and whether you like it or not, the same attitude exists in the ranks of the hardened veterans. Denny's Doodles By CYNTHIA DENNY “Now the summertime is over and the autumn days hre here— The richest, rarest, ripest days through all the whole long year. For October skies are bluer than the skies of any June, And the earth is brimmed with beauty on this smiling afternoon— There is not the simple sameness as in summer’s robe of green. For gay colors, bright and vivid, sparkle in the harvest scene.” Vacation has come to a close and college days — “the richest, rarest, ripest days” — are here. To those with us for the first time, the skies may not seem as blue, but as a few adjustments are made — the students to Meredith and Meredith to them — horizons will widen and truer tones will be visible. We welcome these eager, smiling, and sometimes anxious newcomers from near and far, and greet with affection the ones who are return ing to the loved campus. Meredith is a treasure trove of living, and of learning to those in search of rich ness. We feel a calm assurance that along with the maturing processes there will emerge a completeness, a wholeness, as the rich, glowing quality of a Persian rug builds from many elements. ■■■ Q fiCKSTAGE MEMBER Associated Collegiate Press EDITORIAL STAFF Editor Louise White Associate Editor Annabel Ray Assistant Editor Bobbie Conley Managing Editor Ann Finley Music Editor Margaret Hurst Drama Editor Sue Matzner Feature Editor Mary Ann Brown Sports Editor 9997 Photographer ’kkAnn Caldwell Columnists Margaret Paris, Cynthia Denny, Nancy Whedbee Reporters—Shirley Lee, Linda Jenkins, Jane Johnson, Peggy Ratly, Susan Lewis, Rebecca Scott, Anne Britt, Carole Deaton, Judy Scaggs, Frances Caudle Faculty Sponsor Dr. Norma Rose BUSINESS STAFF Business Manager Erlinda Hilton Advertising Manager Joyce Ann Foster Circulation Manager Linda Jenkins Mailing Editor Diane Stokes Chief Typist Harriett Hill Advertising Staff—Rose Daniels, Betty Stanford, Carolyn Johnson, Shirla Griffin, Betsy Moore, Liz Millikin, Edie Bowen, Babs Howard, Carolyn Jones Typists Susan Sanderlln, Peggy Jernigan, Phyllis Williams, Elsa Cooler Faculty Sponser Miss Lois Frazier Entered as second-class matter October 11, 1923, at post office at Raleigh N.

By SUE MATZNER PLAYHOUSE NEWS: The Play house was sorry that no one was able to come to the On-Stage Party. However, any freshman, transfers, and old students that are interested in dramatics will be more than wel come to come to the Playhouse meetings. The fall production has gotten off to a wobbly slant with cast mem bers praeticing without two of the characters filled. We need men!! Anybody know any?? The play is called “I’ll Leave It to You” by Noel Coward. It is a comedy and should be very entertaining. Besides men the Playhouse needs people to work backstage. Girls qualify very nicely for this job so you are eligible. AROUND RALEIGH: The Ra leigh Little Theater is giving “In herit the Wind” on October 20-21. If this play comes up to the usual Little Theater standards, it should provide excellent entertainment for those of you who have so many free nights. The Union at State College just had try-outs for their fall produc tion “John Loves Mary.” It will be given November 14-15. You will be hearing more from this. Another bit of news from Mere dith is the fact that Stunts will be given in November. Someone told me that some classes had already started working on them! Fancy that. Magic Moments By KAY E. JOHNSON The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds. Is fit for treason, strategems, and spoils; The notions of his Spirit are dull as night. And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted.

Not the least of these is the large number of freshmen who have come in. Needless to say, the upper classmen are anxious to get to know each of them personally and hear them perform. If you have seen a young man around the musie building whose face is unfamiliar to you, he is probably Mr. James Clyburn, the new piano instructor. Mr. Clyburn is ori^nally from Charleston, South Carolina. He did undergraduate work at Elon College, and for the past three years he has studied at Julliard. Mr. Clyburn, who is at present singing with the First Bap tist Church choir, is also an organist. The Music Department is proud to have him with us. We are also very proud of our Steinway Grand piano that Mr. Pratt and Dr. Cooper selected from the factory in New York this sum mer. We have needed this instru ment for a long time and are looking forward to using it in our recitals. I hope you will plan now to at tend Gail Newton’s piano recital There is much to be learned of music from the people who bring this medium to us. David Ewen in his Men and Women Who Make Music gives the layman “A more in timate understanding of the virtuoso art.” He treats his subjects in three ways. He gives a biographical sketch for an understanding of the artists’ background; he gives a personal sketeh for an insight into the per sonalities who voice the music we enjoy, and he does not neglect criti cism. Pictures of the artists are in cluded. His subjects are what the layman would call “classical performers.” The artists are divided into five groups — violinists, including Fritz Kreisler and Yejudi Menuhin; pian ists, include Vladimer Horowitz and Artun Rubenstien; singers, among others Kirsten Hagstad, Lauritz Melchoir, Marian Anderson, Ezio Pinza, and Lawrence Tibbett; cel lists, Gregor Piatigorsky; conduc tors, Artuno Toscanni, Eugene Or- mandy, and Leopold Stolowski as well as others. It will be a pleasure for you to read this interesting and informative book. In a lighter vein is Deems Tay lor’s Of Men and Music. This book is an ingenuous collection of hetero geneous material first used by Mr. Taylor as a series of radio talks de livered as part of the CBS Sunday afternoon New York Philharmonic- Symphony Orchestra concerts in 1936-37. These humorous essays, which Mr. Taylor prefers to call “ob servations” are as timely now as in 1937. His purpose, which you will see fulfilled upon reading the book, is best stated in his own words in the introduction of the book: “If this book tries to say a few definite things, they are these: that behind every musician lurks a man, who is fully as interesting as the trade he follows; that music is writ ten for our enjoyment, and only incidentally for our edification; and that many a potential music lover is frightened away by the solemnity of music’s devotees. They would make more converts if they would rise from their knees.” which is to be given in the near future. I will let you know the de tails of this when I receive them.
