Jubilant senior co-chairman Woody Dicus and Meg Pruette beam while accepting the Great Pum
pkin after winning Cornhuskin’ ’73. “Women in History” was their theme, while the Juniors went
back to 1953 and the sophs and freshmen portrayed “Meredithbury Tales” and life in Dogpatch,

Seniors Woody Dicus,
Meg Pruette and Gloria Smith
led their class to a Cor
nhuskin’ victory last week.
Their presentation of “Women
in History” brought such
celebrities as Billie Jean
King, Cleopatra, Tricia Nixon
Cox (Daddy’s Innocent), and
Martha Washington. Their
interpretation of history from
the viewpoint of women
participants won the seniors
their victory in the parade
portion of the Cornhuskin’
competitions. The freshmen
focusing on Dogpatch, the
setting of L’il Abner, finished
second in parade. The
sophomores chose to be in
tellectual with their
presentations based on
Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales.
Their narration by Chaucer
(Rosemary Stankwytch) and
Dean Burris (Pam Culp) got
third place.
Ruth Anne Stevenson
presented the winning senior
tall tale, “Femelia
Womenaie”. The juniors
placed second and the
sophomores third with their
tales told by inanimate ob
jects. The junior victrola told
of Meredith life and music in
the 50’s, while the sleezy Wife
of Bath’s locket told of her
mistress’s date with the
“perfect man.. John E.
Weems.”
The seniors won hog
calling by summoning the
male chauvinists to Noah’s
ark (by twos?). The juniors
won second place with their
serenade to “Pig Angel”. The
sophomores’ pigs got third
place with their can-can dance
to the accompaniment of “sui,
sui”.
The big-mouthed juniors
bit their way through soggy
apples and won the apple
bobbing event. The
sophomores crunched to a
second place and the fresh
men a third.
The Meredith religion
department led the faculty to
a win in the Cornhuskin’
event, with Allen Page and
Bernie Cochran ripping off the
husks in record time. The
freshmen placed second and
the seniors third after a few
disqualification problems
with the other two classes.
The faculty demonstrated
their “meanness” and
nastiness and professed that
they were showing their real
selves in their witch and ghoul
costumes. Their song,a repeat
from last year was again a
crowd-pleaser.
