The Worm Turns:
Student Teachers
Have you ever wondered how it
would feel to reverse your present
situation — to be a teacher rather
than a lowly student? Many Mere
dith girls have done exactly that re
cently. They have assumed roles as
student teachers.
At work giving instead of taking
quizzes are Pam Gourley at Cary
Elementary; Lou Jackson at South
Cary; Sophia McLawhorn at Cary
Elementary; Laurie Cocker, Sharon
Ray and Jeanne Spach at North
Ridge; Mrs. Susan Norris at Vena
Wilburn.
Other student teachers are Mrs.
Martha Applewhite at Wiley; Mrs.
Brenda Pierce Bonardi and Dianne
Yelton at Cathedral; Catherine
Cooper and Mary Jo Jewell at Saint
Timothy’s; Susan Hill at Aycock
Junior High; Janet Morris, Cullen
Sessoms and Margaret Whitlow at
Broughton; Roma Bowen at Enloe
High School; Emily Dellinger Mead
ows and Donna Williams at Sander
son.
The following Meredith girls arc
also teaching: Rosemary Martin at
the central office; Alicia Butler at
Cary High School; Ginger Anderson
and Jean Wolf at West Cary Junior
High; Betty Boyette Courlsen,
Sherri Rice, and Paula Tudor Gil
bert at Garner High; Bonnie Sparks
at Garner Sr. High; Jo Carole Brum-
ley at Millbrook High; Emma Ruth

Stunt

for a lost uncle.
“Welcome to Bumstead Park,”
the sophomore entry, won second-
place. The class chairmen for the
sophomores were Laura Matheson
and Percy Beane, and the play con
cerned a day in the life of a park
statue (Gail Knieriem).
Senior stunt co-chairmen were
Lou Jackson and Mary Jo Jewell.
The Class of 1970 presented an
“Arsenic and Old Lace” type story
about a marriage in the Primrose
family.
The freshmen stunt, entitled “As
the Stomach Turns,” was a look at
the “inner world.” Freshmen stunt
chairmen were Susan Simmons and
Lee Sloan.
The Meredith Ensemble, under
the direction of Miss Beatrice Don
ley, performed following the presen
tation of the plays.
Judges for the Friday night per
formances were Mr. Bill Morrison,
entertainment editor for The News
and Observer; Dean of Student
Marie Mason; Miss Betty Duck
worth, Meredith alumna; and Mr.
Bill Spooner, program developer for
TV science for the North Carolina
State Department of Public Instruc
tion.
The skits were judged on the
basis of script, scenery, acting and
programs.
Mary Turner, president of the
Meredith Recreation Association
and Mistress of Ceremonies for
Stunt night, commented, “The girls
who were involved with Stunt this
year worked extremely hard and
really put on a good show.”

“Another tradition, not as pretty
as some, but Just as unique and as
thoroughly enjoyed, that has been
handed down to present students, is
the ‘cake walk’ given by the waiters
the last Saturday night before we go
home for the Christmas holidays.
Everybody comes in fancy dress cos
tumes, there is a grand parade, Santa
Claus pays us a visit, and a joyous
Raleigh Colleges
Plan Joint Mag.
Acorn editor Donna Armstrong
has announced that plans are being
made for a literary magazine to be
compiled by students from each of
the six Raleigh colleges.
Created as an attempt to strength
en communication among college
campuses, the magazine will be a
blend of poetry, short prose, and art
work contributed by students from
Meredith, N. C. State, Peace, St.
Mary’s, Shaw and St. Augustine.
There will be an editor on each cam
pus to whom work will be turned in
and the six editors will jointly de
cide on the merit of each piece.
The magazine was the brainchild
of two college students and is being
underwritten by the cooperating Ra
leigh colleges, a consortium of the
colleges in Raleigh. Each college
contributing will pay a part of the
total cost in proportion to the num
ber of students per campus. The
printing of the magazine will be
done by N. C. State and it will be
free to all students. The editors hope
it will be about one hundred pages
in length.
The idea for this magazine is
“something new under the sun” for,
says Donna, “it has never been done
before in Raleigh, and, as far as we
know, never in a college consortium
in the U. S.”
Anyone wishing to contribute in
any way should contact Donna Arm
strong or Jane Cromley on 2nd New
Dorm.
good time is had by both students
and faculty. So if you are new at
Meredith, whatever else you do,
don't miss the ‘cake-walk’.”
December 8,1922
“When lessons are unstudied, and
recitations poorly said, when rooms
are in a jumble with many bundles
on the bed, when girls act sort of
silly, and perhaps sort of crazy, and
shout across the campus, ‘Oh, I just
can’t wait, can you, Daisy?’ When
there’s talk of schedules, and of
catching trains, too, and it seems
that some folks know the time tables
through, when everybody’s happy,
and brimming full of fun, instead
of being grouchy, and silent, and
glum, when there’s a feeling coming
near you which you can’t let alone,
will you believe it when it’s said,
‘Oh, it’s Christmas in your bones!’ ”
December 9,1927
“Heretofore, we have dressed
dolls for the orphanage and hospi
tals, but this time we want to take
them in person to some child who
will not get a doll from ‘Santa.’ In
this way, we hope to take a little
happiness and the real Christmas
spirit to homes which are not so for
tunate.”

Approximately six hundred $600

to grades and subjects in which de
mands for teachers are greatest. The
Department of Public Instruction
has indicated that students interested
in Early Childhood (k-3) or Inter

be especially encouraged to apply
for these scholarship-loans.
Meredith students already receiv

Any enrolled students wishing to
apply for it can get the necessary
applications forms from Mrs. Au
drey Gardner in the Financial Aid
Office. Applications need to be sub
mitted to the N. C. Department of
