May 25,1967 THE TWIG Page Three Seniors Carol King, Margaret Hail, and Paula Marks prepare to leave Meredith for eiciting, cballengtDg eiperlences. '67 Graduafes Make Plans for Work, Travel, Study Seniors Anticipate Future By JOY OVERRY On June 4 Meredith will send another group of graduates into the world of independence, or more ac> curately, the world of self-support. Therefore, for the last few months seniors have been applying, accepting, rejecting, or being re* jected for various jobs. When asked the question, “What do you plan to do next year?” many seniors replied frantically, “I don’t know yet!” However, some of them proudly an nounced their plans for the future. Professors Will Pursue Hobbles, Travel Dr. Tilley, Mrs. Collins Plan Retirement By SHERA JACKSON Retirement will not mean rocking chairs and afternoon tea to two Meredith faculty members, who are leaving their positions here at the end of this semes'ter. For Dr. Ethel Tilley of the psy chology department and Mrs. Helen Collins of the chemistry department, retirement will be a time of travel, study, and experimentation. At the end of this school year, Dr. Tilley will begin her travel with a trip to Quebec for the Inter- American Congress of Philosophy. En route to Canada she will stop for her forty-third class reunion at Ohio Wesleyan College. Returning to North Carolina, she will speak at the Bernadette Hoyle Writers’ Work shop in Raleigh and, the next week, go to Duke University for the first meeting in the South of the Na tional Phi Beta Kappa organiza tion. Keeping her apartment in Ra leigh, Dr. Tilley also plans to con tinue working with the Raleigh Little Theatre and writing. Once she had ambitions to be the “Grand ma Moses of the American Stage” when she retired, but now will do work with mak&-up and properties, as well as a little acting. Having previously done chiefly religious THOUGHTS ON TRADITIONS (Continued from page 2) to gather new ideas. Getting up at six a.m. after exams to pick daisies and make a daisy chain is more than mixed work and fun; it is a bond of friendship. Class Day, graduation — perhaps big and little sisters will part here — if they make it this far. As people move away and find their places in life, they often retain only a few old friends, but it is likely that many of the fondest memories and friends from life in the Meredith family will be of our big and little sisters. DIAL VA 8-7141 RIDGEWOOD'S SHOE SERVICE RIDGEWOOD SHOPPING CENTER YOUR STORE writing, Dr. Tilley hopes to branch out into new kinds of writing, such as the mystery story and fiction. Optimistic, she says of her future books, “I’m not spending any money until 1 sell them, but 1 am looking forward to the writing.” It will be easy to combine her writing with her travel, she says, for “You don’t have to stay in one place to write. The nice thing is you can carry your paper with you or buy some there.” Dr. Tilley’s sixteen years at Meredith have given her humorous, as well as heartwarming, memories. The Easter her Plato class brought eggs decorated with the faces of class members, the Mother’s Day cake from her psychology class, and the visits to the fortune tellers at the State Fair are some of the memories that bring a chuckle. In thinking about the many kindnesses done for her by her Meredith friends. Dr. Tilley says, “Sometimes the big things don’t come to you, and I hope I don’t forget something really big because there are so many associations here that I have en joyed.” The birthday cake from Mrs. Phyllis Garriss at a faculty coffee hour and the special warmth from Dean L. A. Peacock and his wife are samples of the faculty’s esteem for Dr. Tilley, Mrs, Helen Collins, who has com bined raising a family with teach ing, now looks forward to seeing more of her family. With a home in Raleigh, a two-hundred-year-old fannhouse in Pennsylvania, a bcaoh cottage, and a husband who likes to renovate, Mrs. Collins plans to be traveling and decorating. Trips to Mexico and Canada will also be on Mrs. Collins’ schedule. She saj/s, “I’m allergic to taking any other job right now, but I don’t want to just fold my hands.” Her husband will be working on youth education projects which will in volve more travel, both domestic and foreign. Remembering her first year here almost twenty-five years ago, Mrs. Collins says that her son and daugh ter were the page and flower girl in the May Court. Another memory she enjoys is of the time she and Dr. Maiy Yarbrough went to the beach with the biology majors and danced the Charleston on the table tops. The senior picnic, at which she was satirized as a professor, who writes the formulas with one hand while erasing with the other, is a fond memory. The Playday she won honors for the faculty in the egg-in- the-spoon race on horseback, she attributes to her Wyoming cattle- ranch upbringing. Of Meredith, Mrs. Collins says, “I have enjoyed, most of all, my association with the students and the sheer joy of being with young people.” to the graduating class _ ■mBumwTwanwiMittAivtMtMnww THE CAPITAL COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO., INC.

Joan Thompson will do graduate work in drama at Columbia University, and Ellen Kirby will work towards a masters degree in religious educa tion at Union Theological Semi nary. There yet remains a third cate gory of those interviewed — the ones who gave a “qualified” an swer to the question, “What will you be doing next year?” Members of this group are Lou Gilliam and Cissy Miller who replied, “we hope to be doing psychiatric work at Eastern State Hospital in Williamsburg.” Margaret Hall also hopes to be in Williamsburg, working with the Rockefeller Foundation. The results show that most of the members of the 1967 Senior Class have at least an idea of their plans for next year, and are looking for ward to new challenges, respon sibilities, and experiences. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (Conlinued from page 2) never heard nominating committee members complaining that they could not find enough people in terested in student government? Are you sure that this would not ag gravate the problem even further? Finally, you said this would be more democratic. I challenge you and the other supporters of this bill to show me, and the rest of the stu dent body, how this would be either more democratic or more effective than the system we now have. Carolyn McGrady Congratulations and Best Wishes Seniors! Our thonks to everyone for visiting our stores during the past school year. Have a nice summer!
