in smiling anticipation as Nancy got
up to announce the Duke and

their thrones, students responded
with laughter and shouts of ap

aisle bearing the crowns, made by
the Day Students.

and songs by the dorms, day stu

weather the faculty-student softball
game was not held.
Challenges Were Played Off

turned into a recreation centcr with
faculty and students playing indoor
sports and winning points for their
respective groups. Other students
went into the dormitories to play
bridge and other games, also striving
for poinis for their dormitories.

petitors dragged back towards the
dining hall, perking up at the thoughts
of the picnic supper and announce
ment of the Play Day winner.

chips and the munching of chicken
legs, Nancy Jones once more stood
at the mike. All was silence. Then a
cheer broke loose as Nancy said

Thursday, April 19
Spring holidays for Meredith stu
dents will begin at 1:00 p.m.,

plans students might have for the
Easter season.
