Alumnae legacies bring new friends Allison Carter Editor In Cfilef Many students arrive to Meredith because of what they hear from older sisters, mothers and friends. Such is the reason for the annual Alumnae Legacy Day held last Friday afternoon. "We are fortunate in our long history," said Vice President of Student Development Jean Jack son, ‘75. Jackson offered her own memories of her legacy with her aunts who graduated in 1931 and 1935 as she welcomed the alumnae and their guests. Senior Elizabeth Allen briefly spoke how she is the fourth woman in her family to attend Meredith. “I remember sitting on the dorm room floor eating pizza with my aunt and her friends dur ing Lil’ Friends Weekend when I was seven years old,” said Allen. Memories of past Meredith years were in abundance. There were also recently made memo ries students could share such as Amy Blackmon’s day-old mem ories of Freshman Frolic. Black mon assisted Director of First Year Experience (FYE) Chrissie Bumgardner in explaining the FYE program and the specific events for the freshman during the fall and spring. After a short break, the group viewed the admissions video so prospective students could see all about life on campus. "Meredith offers a sense of family, opportunities and acade mic excellence, “ said SGA Pres ident Shannon MacFarlane. “It helps make Meredith unique.” When Assistant Director of Student Activities and Leader ship Development Dena Price spoke, all students received a Meredith event T-shirt if they had been involved in various organizations in high school. Students who were in attendance represented all four years of the high school levels. It was soon time for dinner in Belk Dining Hall where Alum nae Association President Vir ginia Parker, ‘83, offered the blessing and her own brief thoughts about Meredith. Guests then ventured outside for campus tours and the evening performance of “Locked Doors and Lightning Bugs.” POETRY continued from page 1 have a shovel. Therefore, he read, "Between my finger and my thumb/ The squat pen rests./ I’ll dig with it.” For Monday's reading. Heaney read poems that many students had studied, including "Whinlands." Since Heaney read poem students had studied, pro fessors were pleased. “I was pleased that he was so generous with actually leaching the poems. When I thanked him for that, he replied ‘I am a teacher.’ He made sure that he reached students very directly," said Eloise Grathwohl, English professor. On Sunday, he read from “Bogland,” a tribute to Ireland and its notorious bogs that describes archeological finds and historical memories of the area. As Heaney writes, “Every layer they strip/ Seems camped on before^ The bog- holes might be Atlantic seepage./ The wet centre is bottomless." He shared other poems including “Casualty," ‘The Skunk," “A Sofa in the Forties." Also included was “Cariowe," a poem about his aging dog, a subject a little off the path for Heaney. “I never thought I’d write a poem about our dog," he said. Sarah English. English professor, said she enjoyed Heaney. "I loved lis tening to him speak. He might’ve written the poem ‘Cariowe’ about my dog." After speaking for nearly an hour. Heaney concluded with the chorus from his play The Cure at Troy. On Monday, readers asked Heaney about his inspirations. The reading was shown on closed circuit television in the second floor Cate Center lounge. After the reading, many students and faculty adjoumed to the Alumnae House for brunch with Heaney before his departure.

On Sept. 30 in a game against Montreat, she scored her 100th career goal making herself the third highest female scorer in NCAA history. Brooks, who started playing at the age of five, will not settle for third place. She hopes to become the second highest scorer in NCAA history with 110 goals by the end of the season. According to Brooks, her biggest supporters have always been her family. “For the last 16 years of my life my parents have watched me play even if it meant (raveling to out-of-state games,” said Brooks. As she explains. Brooks took up soccer becuase she wanted to do “whatever her brother was doing.” Brooks has always worn the number five because it was her brother’s number. When Jes sica scored goal 100, her parents and brother were in the stands cheering. Meredith was the only choice for Brooks. She thought coming in as a freshman she would teach. Her mother went to Meredith and because she knew “Jose (Cornejo) was a great coach.” Cornjo did not tell Brooks until the game against Averett that she was at her 99th goal. In high school, Brooks played for Athens Drive. She was the lead ing scorer thoughout her high school career. She also partici pated in the East/East all-star game in her senior year and in the off season she plays indoor soccer. Brooks has always been an outstanding scorer for Meredith recording 21 goals in the fresh man year, 36 goals sophomore year, 29 goals junior year and 18 goals so far this year. Having turned 21 in June, Brooks does not feel that she has devoted too much time to soccer On the contrary she feels “having soccer makes me organize my time.” Brooks, who will graduate in December, plans to move to Atlanta where she “will definite ly continue playing soccer” by trying out for a semi-proleaugue.
