April 15, I960 THETWIO Page three “New York, here we are!”— Meredith Group Has Exciting Trip By LINDA KIRBY Anyone who had been awake at 2:20 a.m., March 25, 1960 would have found twelve cxciled people boarding a New .York bound plane from the Ralei^-Durham airport. The girls — Susie Bowers, Jeanette Worthington, Ann Daniels; Melinda Barnes, Patty Steen, Ann Braswell, Betty Bone, Anna Cartner, Ann White, and Crlssie Curkin — were all Meredith students and were chaperoned by Miss B. J. Yeager and Mrs. Lois Renfrow. Group Stays At PiccadiHy After an exciting three-hour plane ride, the girls were, carried by bus and then taxi to their destination — the Piccadilly Hotel, New York City, New York, for a fabulous five- day holiday. Rush Was Exciting During their stay the group as sumed the true New Yorker’s brisk pace by rushing through subway rides, dining at famous restaurants, viewing Broadway plays, and shop ping at fashionable stores. Some of the restaurant owners that were patronized by our Southern belles were those of Divan Paris Inn, Lindy’s, Leone’s, Peter’s Back Yard, Greenwich Village; and Japanese restaurant, where the girls tried their skill at eating with chop* sticks. Twelve Setf Stage TV Shows Eating, however, was not the only thing that made their trip so delight ful. They spent their evenings at tending Broadway plays and tele vision shows. While in New York they saw such plays as “Flowerdrum Song,” "My Fair Lady,” “Music Man,” and “Majority of One.” They also attended the Sunday-night tele vision program, “What’s My Line?” Their days were filled with much shopping and tours of interesting places, such as Radio City, Rocke feller Center, and the United Na tions Building; and, course, no trip to New York would have been complete without a ride on the Staten Island Ferry to see the renowned Statue of Liberty. Girls Return Tired But Happy The end of spring vacation brought an end to their trip; and on March 29, at 6:00 p.nl., the ex hausted yet happy girls trudged their dormitory steps to show their new belongings to roommates and friends and to try to catch a few winks of sleep before classes the next day. • After YEARS of Winter, Spring Is Here—We Hope! The Eyeball By WHEDBEE “It is an astonishing fact that some people can take almost any amount of formal schooling without becoming educated; for a man is not educated until he learns how to think.” (Gerald W. Johnson from his book This American People) Someone espoused, “There are three kinds of women: the beautiful, the intelligent, and the majority.” A dear acquaintance glared at me and mumbled, “You’re wrong . . . there’s a fourth . . . The Twig re porter.” Obviously she had ap peared in print in one of the more elated columns. She continued, “TTie girl is dangerous . . . not a Commu nist, but a C-O-L-U-M-N-I-S-T!” Everyone stared as if I were a scientist or something ... The EYE BALL calmly remarked, “Harm less, girls, harmless, I have the tem perament but not the brains to be a genius. . . CLASS FINDS ‘EXPEDITION’ TO UMSTEAD QUITE AN EXPERIENCE ladies Some “cultured” young might appreciate this news; A popular hillbilly singer an nounced his retirement re cently. Reason: His adenoids cleared up! She’s done it again! It seems as if she accomplishes this same feat each year about this time. Who? Mother Nature, of course! Again she has come through, just in time to help us retain our sanity. Funny, isn’t it, how a brilliant Shakespeare Readings Played For Group The Shakespeare class and sev eral members of other English classcs enjoyed Wednesday night, April 6, a recording of a reading of Othello. They also heard the speech of the dying Lear taken from Giel gud’s record, “The Ages of Man.” Robeson, Ferrer Featured The Othello recording featured Paul Robeson reading the lines of Othello, and Jose Ferrer doing the part of lago. Uta Hagen reads the lines of Desdemona, with Edith King reading the part of Emilia. Gielgud Does Lear The powerful and pathetic speech of the dying King Lear brought chills and thrills as Sir John Gielgud read the dramatic specch. Those who listened agreed that the very fine reading of the lines added greatly to the understanding and appreciation of these outstand ing works of Shakespeare.

Forget, that Is, until some academically-minded body asks you how long you have studied for Jfour biology quiz. Some people would delve into the regenerative system of a water lily rather than just leave it floating serenely in its sparkling pool. Takes all kinds! Spring means different things to different people. Some are suddenly getting panicky about bridesmaid dresses and all such accompanying problems. But, alas, these are only a few. Others of the unfortunate are beginning to think of fraternity lawn parties, week - ends at the beach, rides in snazzy convertibles, and other such frolics. All in all. Mother Nature has something for every one of us in her flower-bedecked basket. For some, it’s a sunburn, for others a beautiful tan — and then there are those who must answer Mother Nature’s call with a mournful, “But I haven’t finished my term paper yet!” Spring is finally here — time for fun and time for play, and time for finishing up all the work we haven’t finished up. If you {like us) are victims of that dread disease. Spring Fever, we can only wish you a speedy and happy recovery. These delicate three-line poems translated, to English are collected with others in a book called Japa nese Haiku: Dead My Old Fine Hopes And Dry My Dreaming But Still. ..

Buson By MARY CAROLYN HAWKINS The community recreation'camp leadership class, a physical educa tion class at Meredith under the di* rectorship of Mrs. Helena Allen, went on an ovcrnite camping trip to Umstead Park on April Fool’s Day. According to the members of the venture, many interesting events took place. With them, the girl^ took sleeping bags and blanket rolls they had made. Shortly after arriving they pitched the iew tents they had brought and fixed dinner (chow is probably a more appropriate word). The group played games until 1 a.m. and then attempted to get some sleep. Sincc, however, only four people got the tents, sleep was almost im possible. Two campers got so cold that they finally got up and slept in the cars while two others fought the dew, and each other also, for the one blanket between them. Probably no one has ever been hap pier to see morning come, and at 7:00 a.m. they all got up for-an early breakfast. Afterwards, several of the girls came back to school for classcs, while the remaining ones went for a hike through the park. Among the things they found on the walking expedition were a torn up love letter (which they pieced together — oooh!), a snake which they chased back into his home, and a beaver’s dam. The trip ended after a snack of sandwiches back at the camp site. The trip itself went along with the content of the course and was a definite experience — Experience? The girls gained It! (also, probably, the Ranger who kept checking on them). ends its viewing on Meredith scenes with this last column. Perhaps some have considered it rather astigmatic at times, but it has enjoyed ex periencing the humor and good will from the many on this campus who make Meredith the place it is. Much thanks to S.
