February 24, 1961 THE TWIG Breakfast—The Last Moments Before Awaking, The Dawn Of A Beautiful Day, Or A Study Hall? Page three By LINDA KIRBY If you are one of the scholars that wait until 8:15 to roll out of bed, toss on a skirt and sweater, and dash to your class just in time to slide into your desk at the last second of the ringing of the 8; 20 bell, you don’t know what you’re missing! The activity in the Dining Hall from 7:00 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. equals many Broadway comcdies for providing humorous entertain- rnent. If you don't believe me, just visit the scene some morning — any morning; it’s always the same! Although no two individuals are alike, there are about three main types, and almost every breakfast- goer falls into one of them. The largest group is composed of the ones that stagger in the door and establish their place in the line. Once they have reached that point they close their eyes and take a quiet nap until some eager beaver behind them starts moving closer and just happens to bump into them. Sleepwalker Finds Food With astonishment the girl moves a few steps and goes through the entire process a number of times until she reaches the door, finds a tray, ploughs through the silverware (getting a knife and two spoons), and mumbles something to the cook about wanting a soft fried egg. On the days that the cafeteria isn’t serving fried eggs, she stands there until somebody informs her that she’ll have to wake up long enough to figure out what she wants. After the big decision is made, she quietly resumes her nap and stumbles through the remainder of the line, out past the jelly table, and down the cafeteria, feeling around until she finds a scat. She gives a dumb wave to the other corpses at the table and flops down in her chair. Conversation Is Lacking When she begins to reach for her fork, she mumbles something about getting two spoons; however, this is no problem, for the girl next to her has two forks, so she can use one of them. The remainder of the meal is finished in complete silence ex cept for an occasional utterance of “Pass the salt and pepper” or “Can you reach the sugar?” In direct opposition to the sleep walker is the energetic young thing who is wide awake the minute she rolls out of bed and can’t understand why everybody else isn’t. This type skips into the dining hall, gives an car to ear smile accompanied by a “Goooood morning!” at the top of her lungs to everyone she meets. Some Are Joyful She sings in the line, tries to be gin conversations with anybody and joyfully chooses her beginning meal of the day. She even SEES what kind of jelly she is getting! Tlien she hops over’to a table of sleep walkers and begins talking about anything and everything she can think of. Finally, when she realizes that no one is answering her, she begins asking them, “Don’t you feel well today?” One by one the other eyes at the table cast a cold look at her which says, “If you don’t shut February Activities Of Home Economics Clnb Include Valentine Tea And A Fasiiion Sliow JEANNE GREALISH, CLASS OF 1956, RECEIVES SCHOLARSHIP OFFER AND AUDITIONS AT THE MET Jeanne Grealish, a 1956 graduate of Meredith, has had two exciting experiences this month: she was offered a full scholarship to study with Lotti Lebuean in California; she also had her first audition for the Metropolitan Opera on Febru ary 11. After receiving her A.B. from Meredith with honors in voice and music education, Jeanne earned her Master of Music Degree in voice from the New England Cotise'iva- tory in 1959. Among the many honors she has received are the Austro-American Grant for study in Salzburg, Austria, and the Pouia Frijsh Foundation Scholarship for study with Madame Frijsh in New York. In the spring Jeanne plans to enter the Young Artist Auditions upon the advice of her teachers and the president of the National Fed eration of Music Clubs, who re cently heard her sing. Jeanne has appeared with the PIANtST GIVES CONCERT New England Conservatory Orches- tra and with the Tanglewood Choir. Crittenden Values Meredith Graduates Meredith President Carlyle Camp bell has received a letter from Mr. Christopher Crittenden, Direc tor of the North Carolina Depart ment of Archives and History, praising the work of Meredith graduates who have worked in the department in the past or are working there now. Mr. Crittenden stated that these persons are well- trained and willing to work and are considered excellent and reliable employees. The present members of the staff are: Miss Corinne Caudle, AB, 1960; Mrs. Stephanie Leslie Scott, AB, 1960; Mrs. Sue Ridge Todd, AB, 1959; Mrs. Ruth Hanes Page, AB, 1957; Mrs. Frances Tatum Council, AB, 1938; Mrs. Frances Memory Blackwelder, AB, 1944; and Miss Beth G. Crabtree, AB. 1937. up, I’m going to stuff a piece of toast down your throat,” Gaity Meels Reproval This, however, does not dis illusion her. She decides to make another approach. Turning to the girl on her right, she cheerily asks, “How did you do on that quiz the other day?” O-ooooops! Wrong question! The girl got up and left. Finally “Miss Happy” gives up, finishes her meal in silence, and skips out of the cafeteria so that she can wake up the rest of her suit. Different from either of these two types and sometimes an actual member of one of these groups is the bookholder. This is the girl who has been up since 5:00 a.m., cramming for that 8:20 quiz. She goes to the cafcteria about 7:00, pulls out a chair, and takes first place in the breakfast line. The Studying Continues She studies madly until the second gong rings, then scampers through the line, book under arm and goes to a secluded table at the corner of the dining hall in order to get in some last minute studying. With both eyes on her notes, she raises her coffee cup to her face and slowly pours it in her lap. After she has cleaned up the mess and is ready to resume her scholarly pur suit, seven sleepwalkers come dragging down to her tabic asking, “Why are you sitting by yourself?” Cramming Is Thwarted She really doesn’t have the heart to tell them, so she moves her books to make room for them, gulps down the rest of the meal, says a polite, “Excuse me, I’ve got to go study,” and gathers her belongings. “Oh, were you trying to study?” some wise one asks with grave concern, but the book-holder has already gone to put her tray up and is running out the door. On February 3 the Home Eco nomics Club gave a tea in honor of a group of young women from Chile who are visiting and living in private homes here in Raleigh as participants in the Experiment in International Living. Despite icy weather, the guests were able to arrive and bring a warmth of in ternational fellowship. The young women were accom panied by their Raleigh hostesses. Invited guests also included Dr. and Mrs. Carlyle Campbell, Dr. and Mrs. L. A. Peacock, Mr. Howard Belcher, Dean Louise Fleming, Mrs. Mabelle Smith, Miss Lu Leake, and faculty members of the English and foreign language departments. The guests were greeted at the door by Jeannette Worthington and Mary Lynn Caldwell; and the ladies were given Valentine corsages as they entered. The Valentine motif was carried out in the tea table decorations and in the refresh ments. Following the tea, the guests These are only the main groups. Within them are numerous varia tions.
