Proctor turned again to
the Bible to make his closing
point. In Ezekiel, there were
two striking images. The first,
the “valley of dry bones”, is
symbolic of life without faith,
a life of despair. The second
image, a little wheel turning
within a larger, independently
turning wheel, was a symbol
of faith at work in the world.
It takes a great deal of
straign to get that little wheel
started, but once it is turning,
“the big wheel turns by the
grace of God.”

derived its name from the
tenner given as a prize for the
horse races between the
wards of Siena.
Following the games, the
classes expanded on their
themes with the presentation
of an original song.
In 1935, the afternoon
Palio joined with Stunt to form
a day-long spring time
celebration. The Palio, which
remained an annual event for
15 years until it was abolished
in 1952, was inspired by a
medieval festival held yearly
in Siena, Italy since 1650.
An opening costume
parade by each class
developed a theme. The
parades were escorted by
clowns, a giraffe (both Siena
Palio figures) and a deacon (a
Meredith addition). Student
entousiasm was particularly
evident in the presentation of
large papier-mache
caricature masks of Meredith
faculty and staff members.
The 1941 juniors won
second place for singing, in
tinseled wings and halos, a
spirited tune “Now a Vision
Glorious” for their “Angel
Farm” theme.

and the bicycle relays held in

The Palio activities
concluded with the singing of

for you, for them and for the
