Lisa Sergio Challenges Students
To Preserve Their Knowledge
MEREDITH GIRLS
WIN IN SHOW
“Walk . . trot . . canter your
horses.” Odd expressions? Yes, but
these words are used daily by the
live Meredith students who rode in
the North Carolina championship
horse show at the State Fair Arena,
September 28-30.
Entering for Meredith were Mary
Beth Hughes, Nancy Renfro, and
Susan Hawkins, juniors; Jerry Lou
Holbert, sophomore; and Lynn
Abraham, freshman. Mary Beth
placed fourth on “Silver Mac” in one
of the largest pleasure classes in the
show. In the same class, Susan Haw
kins placed second on “Belle.”
Susan also won a first on “Ace-in-
the-hole” in another pleasure class.
The show is said to be one of the
South’s largest and one ol; the bigest
four indoor circuit shows in the East.
Horses from seventeen states were
shown. They came from as far north
as New York, as far south as Flor
ida, and as far west as California.
Mrs. Mary M. Edwards is the rid
ing instructor at Meredith.
Student Teachers Make Preparations
For Excitement, Worries, and Work
By SANDRA WALKER
Student teaching time is almost
here again! In less than a month,
some thirty-five prospective teachers
from Meredith will assume their
places in the schools of Raleigh and
the surrounding areas. But before
November 6, the date set for student
teaching to begin, much time will
be spent in observation in the vari
ous schools. Students are expected
to be in the schools at least one
afternoon a week, observing classes,
teachers’ meetings, club meetings,
and other school activities. Almost
all Meredith students have been
placed and have had at least one
conference with their supervising
teachers.
Students in six different fields will
be teaching in the secondary schools.
They are Judy Goodwin, Marilyn
Maner, Sandra Walker, Elizabeth
Brannan, Mrs. D. R. Reveley, and
Mary Holloway in English; Letitia
Blount, Sybil Williams, and Theresa
Brown in home economics; Kay
Simpson in art; Delores Atkins in
history; Julia Vining in French; and
.Anita Jones, Pat Walston, and San
dra Stanley in music.
Elementary student tcachers in
clude: Mary Peterson, Janice Patter
son, Jean Weeks, Beverly Hensley,
Cille Benton, Sara Leiby, Judy Bul
lard, Lucy Butler, Rachel Lowe,
Kathy Roberts, Ann Taylor, Sue
Holland, Jessie Matthews, Beverly
White, Pat Leggett, Brenda Payne,
Peggy Crutchfield, Henri Brunt, and
Ruth Miller.
Beginning November 6, there will
probably be more excitement, more
bewilderment, more worries, and
more work than many of these sen
iors have had in an entire lifetime!
But the groans and sighs that you’ll
hear coming from the senior halls
for the next few months will alt be
1 part of a most rewarding adventure
I —the experience of student teaching.
By MARCIA DAMS
Lisa Sergio, a startling figure
representing the search for a better
America, spent two days on the
Meredith campus last week. Miss
Sergio, who is now on a complete
tour of the Southeastern United
States Colleges, spoke at the re
quired lecture and again in chapel
on the attitude of Americans toward
their country.
During an interview, she repeated
her desire to see a change of heart
in Americans. She feels very
strongly that we as Americans have
too much of a “me for me, you for
you” way of life. She emphatically
pointed out that Americans must
serve a common causc and must
begin to maintain the earlier estab
lished high standards of the country.
When asked how this change of
altitude and service of a common
cause could be practiced by a college
student, she smiled and said, “You
think you have a right to go to col
lege. You don’t; it’s a privilege.”
She pointed out that a college edu
cation in the United States is a social
manhunt for most girls. They spend
untold hours on their faces, hair, and
clothes. Yet none seem to care
about preserving what goes into the
mind for any greater length of time
than from that point at which it
enters until that second point at
which it leaves to be placed on an
examination paper.
Miss Sergio presented these
thoughts in both her lecture and
her chapel speach and requested
that they be restated in the TWIG
in the hopes that one or perhaps tv/o
girls at Meredith would care enough
to listen.
AA SPONSORS TENNIS EXHIBITION
By PEGGV CRUTCHFIELD
A combination of skill and com
pliments makes a facuity-student
tennis match a real treat. On Friday,
September 29, the Athletic Associa
tion sponsored a mixed doubles ten
nis match.
Participating In the match were,
Mrs. Jay Massey, physical education
instructor, and “Pedunk” Atkins
versus Mr. Edwin Blanchard of the
music department and Nickie Chil-
drey. The score was 6-1 in favor of
Mr. Blanchard and Nickie.
The score itself was of minor
interest. The audience was in
structed by Mr. Blanchard as to the
proper etiquette for tennis specta
tors. “Always applaud at aces,” he
said. Mr. Blanchard’s powerful
serve was a major factor in the
victory of his team.
The second match was purely an
impromptu affair. During the first
match Mr. Bernard Cochran of the
religion department had been acting
as scorekecper and referee. Mean
while Mrs. Helena Allen of the
physical education department drove
up in her car to watch. After a bit
of friendly persuasion, the four
members of the faculty agreed to
play. Mr. Blanchard and Mrs. Mas
sey opposed Mrs. Allen, and Mr.
Cochran.
Mr. Blanchard introduced the
players. Mr. Cochran was intro
duced as the “Dark Duke.” The
score was “sung” during the game
by Mr. Blanchard. Mrs. Massey
said, “If he sings they leave; if he
plays tennis they will stay.”
After viewing this match one is
convinced that tennis is truly a
gentleman’s game. Never have
compliments so adorned a tennis
court. Mrs. Allen informed Mrs.
Massey and Mr. Blanchard that she
and Mr. Cochran were changing
their strategy from a previous game.
At this point she missed a shot and
Mr. Blanchard’s reply was, “I like
that change.” Later in the game
Mrs. Allen asked Mr. Cochran what
she was doing wrong in her shot.
“I think you’re congratulating them
while you hit,” replied Mr. Cochran.
The results of this match was a
score of 6-1 in favor of Mrs. Massey
and Mr. Blanchard. The A.A. ex
presses its appreciation to all who
came out for the match. To our
participating faculty members the
A.A. is especially grateful.
