Kolifeidt speaks to WINGS
by Lise L. Clark
Who was Lady Gregory? Why was
she important? What posesses an Ameri
can woman writer to publish a biography
on an Irish woman of the nineteenth cen
tury? Mary Lou Kohfeidt answered these
questions at a joint meeting of the Eng
lish Department and WINGS on Monday,
April 1st. Ms. Kohfeidt is an American
woman writer who recently published a
biography entitled Lady Gregory: The
woman Behind the /rfsft Rendssance.
Ms. Kohfeidt Infomed the froup that
l.ady Gregory was an important woman
of her time. Lady Gregory was a "working
woman” who started f>er writing at the
age of fifty. She wrote numerous plays
about estate life. Lady Gregory was also
one of the founders of the fantKXis Abbey
TTteater in Dublin, Ireland. Ms. Kohfeidt
explained that Lady Gregory came fn^m a
family of thirteen children where she was
theonly one who did anything significant
with her life.
Ms. Kohfeidt also told the group
how she became interested in Lady Gre
gory. She identified with Lady Gregory’s
plays wfien she was studying for an urv
dergraduate degree at UN&Chapel Hill.
After tw^ve years of research, writing,
and re-wrlting, Mary Lou KohfekJt pro
duced a biography that was accepted for
publishing at Atheneum Press. Ms. Koh
feidt received many rejection slips like
other beginning writers. She ended her
discussion by emphasizing how import
ant it is for writers to accept rejection as
pacUof writing, She says that “persever
ance” Is the key to success.
Wlio hid the Crook?
Contributed by Kelli Falk and Nancy
Shore and taken from old editions of Vw
TWIQ.
In 1906 Miss Caroline B. Phelps, the
teacher of dramatics, gave the Crook to
the smior class to increase class spirit.
Hidden by the seniors before the opening
of school each year, the Crook was the
object of many hours of junior searching.
When the juniors found It they were al
lowed to re-hide the Crook, and then tl^
seniors began to hunt. The class in pos
session of the Crook at the end of the
school year had “won,*’ and their colors
were tied to the Crook and carried on
Class Day. If the juniors were in pos
session when the time limit expired, the
seniors had to carry junior colors, which
they topped by a big bigck bow of
mouming.
Much originality and ingenuity were
expended in the hiding of the Crook. It
has been tied to a water pipe in the tun
nel, suspended from rafters, hidden In
the mattress of a faculty member. It has
been concealed on a rafter in the (now
extinct) old chapel, on the water tower,
behind a lab drawer, on the kleges of
windows, and on the roofs of buildings.
Certain njles were necessary to protect
the Crook and aid searchers. The pro
posed new njles for the Crook are as fol
lows;
1. Some portion of the Crook must
be visible at all times. There is, however.
no stipulation as to what position one
must be in to see the Crook.
2. The Cnx)k must be hidden on
Meredith's campus.
3. The Crook may not be hidden un
der lock and key.
4. The Cnx)k must be hidden in Its
original forni.
5. The Crook must not tie hidden af
ter the first hiding.
6. The Crook may not be hidden in
trees or on roofs.
7. Only Meredith juniors may hunt
the Crook.
8. Tf>e Crook must be displayed in
the cafeteria one week before tl^ search
ing begins.
9. H found, the Crook must be taken
to the Junior Class President and pre
sented to the Senior Class President for
her official verification before the dead-*
line. 0f presidents cannot tie found, then
the Crook should be taken to the next ap-
pnsprlate class officer.)
10. The juniors have one week in
which to find the Cnxik.
11. The search begins the day the
first clue is display in the cafeteria.
13. A clue must be presented for
each day, and must not be coded.
14. If the juniors find the Crook, It
must be carried In Class Day by the Sen
ior Class President with a black bow at
tached.
