Harmony
A compatability of feelings
Not necessarily the same,
But compatible
As is day with night:
An eternal circle
Within which all fit
Unified.
A oneness of life with living,
Yet a life not lost among many
nor estranged from mankind
But discovered with others
and for others;
As is spring with winter
New life for old hopes.

Dear Mom and Dad,
Wow! Can you believe another
whole year is over? Sometimes, I feel
that school will never end and that I'll
never get all my books back to the
library — then, before I know it, finals
are over, and seniors are graduating!
I was thinking back to high school
last night. You two were so supportive
of me as I chose a college. Do you
remember those days — long trips to
visit college after college, those eternal
talks with every admissions office
available? And yet you never
complained about doing it for me.
And then, after I had applied here, I
remember how thrilled you were on
the day I got my acceptance letter. You
were as happy as I was. And how
about that summer of shopping and
packing and shopping some more until
— finally — it was August and time to
go! That was a hectic time!
That first month here at Meredith —
Oh, how I used to cry whenever I got a
letter from you. I missed you so much,
and it was such a help to know you
missed me, too. But you were always
so sure I could make it, OK — in fact,
you were often more sure than I was! I
remember how you said that you were
proud of me; that made me want to
work hard so I wouldn't let you down.
Do you remember those blind dates
I used to write about? 1 could just hear
you laughing when I described them to
you. Weren't they riots!? You always
seemed interested in the friends I
made, the guys I met, and the places I
went. I often wished you were here so
I could tell you all about them!
Who can believe so much time has
passed? I barely can! Yet, you always
seemed to know I could make it. I
know I don't often say it, but I
appreciate you both very much. You
are the ones who have made my
college years — with all the joys and
hurts — possible. I love you — please
keep your faith in me, for I need it. I
am eternally grateful to you.
With Love
Your Meredith Angel

To all the Moms and Dads of Meredith Angels, we dedicate the 1977 Oak Leaves with love, pride and thanks!

For the Love of Life
Most of us perceive him as The
Administrator, the Man with the
Title, the Insensitive Manager.
Obviously, most of us do not
perceive him fully. Although he is
intent, busy in his office before the
secretaries arrive in the morning,
he is not inaccessible; the influence
of his easy-going manner is
obvious in an office which is
casual, friendly and open to all. He
seems never too busy to help a
hysterical student who has just
discovered she hasn't enough
hours to graduate in May; he is
always ready to share a laugh with
anyone around. Because of his
interest in Meredith students, we
see him at senior music recitals,
basketball games, tennis matches,
and college plays. He impresses us
in many cases by knowing our first
names and by remembering even
our interests and hometowns. In
his free time, we see him enjoying
the Friends of the College concerts,
playing tennis with friends,
attending Stewart Theater
productions, and keeping pace
with the ever-changing literary and
historical world. If we visit a
certain church, we find him a pillar

of the bass section of the choir; his
devotion to the Christian faith is
evident in his teaching of a Sunday
School class. And yet, these
academic, social, community, and
church affairs never replace his
first committment — his family.
Never is he too busy to plan family
outings, to ski with his daughter,
to camp with his son, to take long,
peaceful walks in the woods or
along the beach, to spend that
extra time which makes his family
a special part of his life.

We're Human Too!
While swamped by insurmountable
assignments, tests, and papers, it is
hard to imagine members of the faculty
as humans but rather as beings
existing in that realm of science fiction
that never tire and most certainly are
never touched by emotional strains
which make working impossible. But
as strange and unusual as it may seem,
faculty members can at times be heard
expressing fears, joys and desires that
have a vague resemblance to those
expressed by students in the "real
world."
When surprized by snow, in the
middle of the school day, professors
could be seen running down the halls
worriedly deciding who would pick up
their children. Students passed rumors
of faculty sleeping in their offices to
insure that classes would be held only
to discover that the class had already
been canceled and the faculty member
last seen strolling into the sunset with
a cardboard box over her head.
On other strange occasions one
discovers the faculty's "other life."
They can be heard discussing topics
ranging from whist parties to organic
gardening or even the latest Sherlock
Holmes movie. Others have activities
to which they turn when it has been
"one of those days." Some indulge in
puns on the Canterbury Tales, while
others enjoy political activities, writing
historical novels, doodling and ice
carving.
Students may doubt it and even try
to refute it, but faculty are human too
— they just like to keep the students
puzzling.

A Senior's View
of the "Big
Snow"
The lake glistened as I approached it,
excited to see the thick ice that had
formed. Amazed, I stood momentarily
to soak in the scene. I fearfully started
out, noticing the minute cracks on the
surface. However, the timidity quickly
left as I confidently slid across the
grayish-white mass, feeling free and
released from the pressures that often
engulf me.

Making A Home
The home economics majors of
Meredith spend three and a half weeks
in the Ellen Brewer House learning the
skills required to manage a home. So
six competent girls get together to
accomplish the job. Everything should
go smoothly, right? Wrong! Lots of
little things happen. For instance, what
about the time the pressure cooker
exploded sending a jet of steam and
chicken broth to cover the ceiling? The
girls struggle together through three
and a half weeks of fun, tired legs,
good food, and all sorts of "little
surprises." But when each group
leaves, there is a closeness which has
grown within that family of six who
have lived together, learning to care
about one another very much.

Where To Now?
Ambivalent feelings permeate the
senior's life. At once we find ourselves
excited and frightened by the
unknown beyond graduation. For most
of us, a new lifestyle awaits, whether it
be marriage, a career away from family
and friends, or graduate school with all
the uncertainties. Can we succeed on
this level? Along with feelings of
apprehension for the future, we
discover our ambivalent feelings for
Meredith, our soon-to-be past. We're
weary of our undergraduate load and
long for something new; yet,
simultaneously, we are sad to leave the
security and predictability of Meredith
College, and we will miss our friends
here. For each of us after graduation,
there will be new friends, new places,
and new challenges. We must meet
these challenges with the knowledge
and personal development we will take
from our education at Meredith
College.

DnThe
Occasion Of
Her Birthday
Hs the day when Floss was born
3n a dark and dreary day.
We found her standing in the trash
And she said, "Take me away!"
nler life was oh! so lonely,
She had nowhere to- go.
She had no toes or fingers
\nd they had taken away her "fro."
She had just about surrendered
-ier life was about to end.
When lo and behold she looked about
\nd there she found a friend.
We swept her up. We rescued her,
We brought her back to life.
We carried her to Heilman dorm,
And ended all her strife.
Today fair Flossie is happy,
She has meaning, she has purpose,
She answers the phone, is friend to all,
And she never tries to usurp us.
Flossie is a friendly soul,
The nice and sociable kind,
And even if you yell at her,
She doesn't seem to mind.
Floss goes to all the parties,
Where she is always the belle of the
ball,
She laughs, she jokes, she plays the
games
She is the queen of our hall.

Memories
As we look back on our years at
Meredith, we reflect ....
There's a place for us
We're stars at Meredith
Though we'll all go our separate ways
We will cherish our college days
Friendships, sisters,
We have such memories together
Close to our hearts forever.
When we graduate
We'll leave our love with you
Hold on tight to these precious years
Full of happiness, full of tears.
So long — Farewell — Good bye!
Even at graduation, few of us can bear to forsake our girlhoods completely.

}ress That Bar
It was hardly love at first sight. The
ought of having to go to the
ychology lab every day to feed and
landle" a rat was unthinkable at first,
pecially after he tried to bite the first
ne we saw him. But he was kinda
te, so there was hope. After a few
weeks, he seemed to look forward to
seeing us come every day. We learned
a lot from him, especially when trying
to get him to bar press. After eighteen
hours of trying everything to get him
to bar press, we learned that if you
starve anyone long enough, he'll do
anything. And he did — finally — press
that bar!

Cornhuskin' 76
The year of 1976 was not only our
nation's 200th birthday, but it was also
an election year. Just as each candidate
sought a victory, so it was with the
Junior Class's fanciful rendition of
election year in Cornhuskin' 76.
Voting Times have come at last
You better make your mind up fast
That crucial day will soon be past
Voting Times have come at last.
Who is your choice? What's his name?
Where's he from?
Does he smile? Does he trip? Do you
"love" him?
Will he do the best job of all?
Jimmy Carter or Jerry Ford?
Jimmy's said he will find jobs for us;
Does that mean even Meredith
alumnae?
Will Jerry makes us proud again?
When we must pay so very much for
education.
So we'll exercise our right to vote
Sending ballots through the mail.
Let's remember our sights have been
raised.
We're assertive; we're not frail.
Here we go to the polls acting out our
new found rolls
If we only could make up our minds.
We will read 'cause we need to know
which man best can lead
So our nation will not fall behind.
We all read the news just to help us
choose
Which one we really want to shine —
GO STATE!
We have heard their claims; they all
sound just the same
'Cause we've always been fed such big
lines.
Tippacanoe and Tyler too, Oh I like
Ike.
Make America Proud Again, 54-40 or
fight.
Gimme Jimmy; The Buck Stops Here.
Peace with Honor; Four More Years.
All those Slogans now are coming out
of our ears.
When those returns
Come rolling' in
When those returns come rollin' in
Hallelujah
Then we will know who'll lead our
country,
'Cause the best man always wins.
I'll never make it to Senior status!
Juniors line up for Cornhusking 1976.

Living With
Freshmen
What's it like being the "older
woman" on a freshman hall? Junior
status among the new arrivals means a
continuous bombardment of questions
— about courses, faculty, and
fraternities — some of which we
cannot answer ourselves!
Homesickness and roommates who
decide after two days that living
together is impossible are among the
early problems facing a freshman hall
proctor suite. During orientation, how
do you explain what a credit hour is to
an already-frightened freshman; or
how do you impress upon the girls the
importance of studying for that big
biology test — when you don't want to
study either? Living with freshmen is
definitely not all endless questions and
calldowns; it's also lots of fun.
Enthusiasm and spirit abound in these
dorms, and the upper-classman apathy
disappears among the activities on a
freshman hall. Having the
responsibility of lending a helping
hand to our little sisters has definitely
been a boost to our junior year.

A Milestone At
Meredith
One of the highlights of our Junior
year at Meredith has been the arrival of
our college class rings. This
momentqus event serves both as an
affirmation of how far we have actually
come and as a reminder of just how far
we have yet to go. As we Meredith
Juniors received our class rings this
year, we did so with mixed emotions.
We hope that the onyx rings will serve
as a constant reminder of our years
spent at Meredith College and that,
like the rings, our memories of
Meredith will endure forever.

and I still haven't decided on a major! I
know you both always wanted me to
be a math teacher so I went to see Dr.
Davis. He was really nice, but he
thinks I'm a little behind since I
flunked baby math — twice. Maybe I
could major ;n Religion . . . Dr.
Cochran is so-o-o good looking! He
really excites me — do you think it's
missionary zeal? On the other hand,
Biology might be a more sensible
choice, but those earthworms give me
the creeps. And Psychology is out of
the question too — messing with those
rats in Poteat would make any sane
person neurotic! As a last resort, I
seriously considered English, but they
offer all the good courses during the
Young and Restless. Do you think
maybe if you talked to Dean Burris, he
would let me major in UNDECIDED?
Your Meredith Angel
P.S. Could you please send me $10.00
in your next letter? Everybody's going
out Friday night for a pizza and a-uh
coke.

Sophomores celebrate their first victory in Stunt.
Stunt 1977
Enthusiasm, talent, and good
directing led the Sophomores to victory
in Stunt 1977. The antics of the
contestants in the Late-Adolescent,
Post-Teenage Sophomore Miss Pageant
cumulated with the crowning of the
new queen, Miss Craw County. Other
events included the return of the first
Miss Social Security, a rousing song
and dance routine by the rejected
contestants, and the Late-Adolescent,
Post-Teenage Sophomore Miss theme
song, sung by Masters of Ceremonies
Pert Barks and Mark Meow. Well
Sophomores, we finally made number
one!

Good-bye!
Big Sisters
As freshmen the class of 1979
exposed frayed threads of fear,
questions, loneliness, and inhibition.
But then, Big Sister, you knocked softly
upon our locked doors and entered
with open arms and a warm smile.
Fear became excitement, questions
were patiently answered, loneliness
became eternal friendship and
inhibition became willing
assertiveness.
After two years of growing together
as intelligent women, you will depart
from us; perhaps never to be seen
again. But the gifts you have left to us
to greet our little sister class with are
engraved upon our hearts: love,
courage, and an inquisitive faith.

The Saga Of A
Sophomore
Adviser
Preparation. Hot August days. Crash
courses in the basics of counseling.
Anticipation. Snowed under with
arientation information. Sophomores
advising freshmen. In August, I looked
forward to establishing friendships
with my group of advisees. Now in
February, I enjoy maintaining those
friendships begun last fall. I like to
refer to them as "my girls". Visiting on
their halls and meeting their friends is
important to me. The frustration of
registration, the pizza parties, the
crises of home and boyfriends are
ongoing memories. Can you imagine
how grandmotherly I now feel as I
encourage "my girls" to become
student advisers?

Cornhuskin'
The freshman Class spirit rallied to
its Cornhuskin' theme of "The Old
South." Netting third place in their
Cornhuskin' debut, this Freshmen
Class will doubtlessly "rise again" to
even greater heights in Cornhuskings
to come.
Oh the old, old South sounds very
excitin'
Just think of them grits and picking
that cotton
Looking back on them years
Is a life of its own.
Only the Southerners have such
memories
Plowing them fields and hunting, too.
They worked hard and fought like
warriors
The South will live for years to come.
Come gather, let the freshmen tell you
'Bout the olden days
'Bout the Southern belles and all their
menfolk
And their great Southern ways.
Oh the good old South sounds very
invitin'
But I think today is more excitin'
Look ahead, for the best is yet to come,

Big Sisters,
Understanding
Because we, as freshmen, feel very
much like fish out of water on our
arrival at school, Meredith has
assigned to each of us a "Big Sister," a
member of the Junior Class. Our Big
Sister possesses more ease of
movement in the scary new college
situation, and she can give us the
feeling of security and belonging
which we long for here. She welcomes
us with a smile and a cheery note. She
answers our questions with
understanding. On birthdays and
holidays she may remember us in a
very special way. For all these little
things, Big Sisters, we appreciate you.
Student
Advisors, Older
and Wiser
For a freshman embarking on what
is probably her first extended stay
away from home, nothing can be more
encouraging than the friendly face of
her student advisor. Innately, we
possess the knowledge that only
recently that same confident face has
experienced the sensations we now
harbor. As we enter for the first time
our home away from home, we find
the gift that she has left in that barren
room. We find in her the answers no
catalog can disclose. It is her
knowledge of the process of
registration and book purchasing
procedures that inspires in us a sense
of security; she alone seems to have the
ability to arrange a schedule. So, as a
freshman I feel that I. speak for the
entire class when I say, "Thank-you,
student advisors."

The very words "English
Composition Conference" send cold
tremors through the heart of even the
bravest freshman. These English
conferences seem to be a continuing
tradition at Meredith. Without a
doubt, a freshman considers herself
truly a freshman only after she has
survived her first conference, a
twenty-minute span of time that feels
like an eternity. Horror stories of
revision of the first revision of a paper,
and of page-long diagrams have been
passed to us freshmen by sinister-eyed
sophomores. How can it be that any of
us survive? It is only by that faint
gleam of hope ahead; if we can
survive, then next year it will be our
turn to spread those Meredith tales to a
class of innocent and fear-stricken
freshmen!

Dear fellow member of the

As one who was given
responsibility to write this
"y outlined
urge
on our
write
The Twig, the weekly newspaper of
Meredith College, is a vital learning
organ and a vehicle for keeping the
community informed. Students are
encouraged to contribute through news
coverage, letters, features, and special
columns. The staff is open to everyone
and no journalistic experience is
necessary.
Editor Maggie Odell views the
newspaper as "the medium through
which total campus involvement may
be expressed." Highlights of this year's
Twig included extended political
coverage in the election year, intense
coverage of campus happenings,
features on special students and
projects, and investigative reporting on
campus problems.
Through features and editorials, the
Twig explored racial problems,
feminism, campus security and
adademic concerns as well as including
lighter movie reviews, cartoons, and
photo essays. Staff includes: 1st row —
M. Victorian, K. Farlow, M. Odell, V.

Oak Leaves
The Oak Leaves began the new year with a
bang. More photographers and staff members
volunteered than ever. But, before long they had
dwindled down to a faithful few.
With too little time after classes and work and
too much to accomplish, the 1977 Oak Leaves was
designed. For some there were hours of taking
pictures and retaking pictures that weren't right.
There were missed appointments and endless
hours of darkroom development. For others there
were lots of designing and at times a little less
thinking. There was hunger and lots of worry.
But finally — there was the OAK LEAVES of
1977!
Overall the staff tried to give the Meredith
yearbook a new design and more complete
coverage of what went on in the Meredith world.

SGA
Every student at Meredith College is a
member of the Student Government
Association and is expected to support and
contribute to all projects, activities and
meetings. The association at Meredith
promotes an atmosphere of honesty and
integrity through self-government. An
honor code signing ceremony was held for
all transfers and freshmen to emphasize
this aspect of Meredith tradition.
Phyllis Smith served as the Student
Government president for the 1976-77 term
which was a quiet one in terms of vast
changes. However, Health Awareness
programs were successful as was active
involvement in the November elections.
Probably the most important effort of the
year was the move to make all of the
previous years honor code and legislative
changes practical and working aspects of
the Meredith community.
Members of the executive board are: D.
Matthews, J. Hart, D. Doss, B. Leavel, K.
Frazier, N. Reid, C. Pickett, P. Smith, C.

Day Students
Waking up a bit earlier and getting
ready a lot quicker set the daily pace
for most day students. Oftentimes
that includes fixing your own breakfast
and even feeding a family before
dashing off to an 8:00 class. Before
class is time for nonchalantly picking
up the "news" of dorm life; after class
is time for deciding between camping
out in the library, enduring the drone
of the Student Center, or hurrying
home for a little peace and quiet. Day
students take an active part in the
Meredith community and sponsor
many activities for their group in an
effort to become a unified body. These
include many meetings, parties such as
the Christmas party and the
non-resident luncheon. For the first
time, this year the day students
awarded a non-resident outstanding
award at awards day. This year the
award was presented to Debbie
Matthews, president of the day
students.
For a day student there is always that
extra effort needed to make a place and
a time to squeeze in studying between
the responsibilities of meals,
housekeeping and a family. Meredith
provides a stimulating world within a
world. It is sometimes frustrating, yet
always fascinating and exciting to be a
very real part of both.

For the Good Times
Clubs and organizations are an
important part of the Meredith
tradition. There are Student
Government organizations which
govern the life of the community and
there are music organizations for the
inspiring musicains. From
publications to service clubs there is
something for every Meredith
student. These groups provide a
chance to mingle with fellow
students with similar interests or to
pursue a personal hobby. No matter
what club or organization a Meredith
Angel decides to become a part of it
gives her the opportunity to learn
from experience, share memories or
enjoy a picnic. And along with all of
the good times comes a place for her
— somewhere to belong!

Intramurals
Provide
Competition
While some Meredith women are
very athletic and compete on a team
there are other Angels who simply
enjoy the opportunity for competition
and recreation. This chance is provided
by the Meredith Recreation
Association through the various
intramurals held between dorms.
There are basketball, tennis, volleyball,
swimming, pool and many other forms
of competition among the students.
Unfortunately spirit was hard to arouse
and some events had to be canceled or
forfeited due to lack of interest. But
many students welcomed the
opportunity for a little fun with their
classmates.

&
Orientation
A First Week
College — for students arriving on
campus for the first time this was a
long awaited adventure. But, they had
no idea just what an adventure they
were in for. Voting for the first time
and becoming involved in world affairs
are big steps, but entering Meredith
during Orientation week is an
accomplishment all in itself.
From the minute the new freshmen
arrive they are caught up in a whirl of
new faces and new activities. With the
help of a student advisor and faculty
advisor, somehow the freshmen make
it through the hectic week. From the
picnics to the formal reception given
by President and Mrs. Weems, the
freshmen see the many sides of
Meredith for the first time.
Then the long lines begin. Lines for
buying books (if you can figure out
which line) and lines for registration
for classes and for making ID cards.
Even a line to give all the forms to the
computer.
After wondering if you will ever
really make it and crying on the phone
a little with Mom, you really begin to
feel like a Meredith student. And then
the realization hits that this is only the
beginning. All of the returning
students are back and there are 800
more names to learn and big sisters to
meet. But, most of all — classes are
tomorrow!

The Night of the Stars
With enthusiasm, determination and
a lot of hard work, the classes joined
together with their spirit to bring
about another successful year of
Cornhuskin'.
Amidst southern belles, corsets and
southern drawls, the freshmen
surprised everyone with a second place
win.
The Olympian stars from the athletic
sophomores proved to be the most fit
in the four night raids in Vann and
Stringfield.
The juniors advertised the election
year in true form contradicting the
erroneous assumption that women
know nothing of politics. At least they
know the party mascots.
But all due credit should go to the
seniors, the Stars of the night, their
101 % participation and first place wins
in all but one event represented their
outstanding performance.
From the traditional dinner of foot
long hot dogs to the untraditional
celebration at Charlie's afterwards, the
hard work was worth all the fun and
excitement. To outsiders this week of
water fights and strange costumes in
hallways made no sense at all, but to
the Meredith Angels this was a week of
enjoying just what the sisterhood of
Meredith is all about.

In the dark behind the curtain, we
stand unmoving and quiet. Hurried
whispers and last minute adjustments
add to the controlled panic around us.
The crew scurries by, checking and
rechecking props, positions and the
time. We catch each others eyes and
grimace, trying to surpress the
excitement building up like thunder.
We grab hands and squeeze with the
mutual affection that the whole cast
shares. Hours spent together sweating
in leotards and cutoffs, cursing,
laughing, practicing and practicing,
has made us bond together like
survivors from a plane crash. Beth
glides by as Sally Bowles, the leading
role, a flash of silver trailing the steps.
Nancy the director is already in the
audience. Places, places, faces freeze.

Christmas
That Christmas Feeling
Here it is a week before the first
semester finals and you're wondering
how you are going to cram three and
one-half months work into one little
week and you open your door one
morning and find a surprise from your
Secret Santa. Thus begins the
Christmas traditions at Meredith
College. Meredith traditions have
always been special.
The Christmas concert presented by
the Chorale, the Rennaissance Singers,
the Ensemble, the Orchestra and the
Handbell Choir never fails to bring a
lump to throats as students sit amidst
the music in the Rotunda. The chorus
singing at the last worship service of
the semester is similarly meaningful.
But of all the Christmas traditions,
the dinner is the most memorable.
How can one forget the long dresses,
the ice sculptures, special buffet, the
Christmas tree and most of all Santa
Claus and his elves? Afterwards the
spirit continues when students go
caroling to their professors homes.
Another very special tradition
during the Christmas season is the
Moravian Lovefeast where the Birth of
Christ is celebrated through song,
prayer and sharing the Moravian buns
and coffee. The true hope of Christmas
is felt when the candles are lit and
raised while John 3:16 is recited.
Finally, don't forget the Christmas
Dance held in Belk Cafeteria. This is a
special night when men invade the
campus and add to the Christmas
feeling.
And just when you feel like you are
going to explode from the academic
pressure, you have a Christmas hall
party and find out that your Secret
Santa is actually a good friend down
the hall. After somehow making it
through finals, the Meredith Christmas
spirit is, finally taken home with you.

The Bears and Stars Rush .
Bears and Stars — that is all that is
seen on the Meredith campus during
the traditional rush week. An
introduction to the service projects,
sponsored by the service
organizations known as the Phis and
Astros or the Astrotekton and
Philaterian Service clubs.
Rush week is a series of activities
sponsored by the two groups. Each
club has its own special day to
promote enthusiasm. The halls are
elaborately decorated with the
mascots, symbols and special gifts
from each organization. When the
freshmen awoke the next morning
there were cookies from the Astros
and bears from the Phis. At night
each society had refreshments and
entertainment on their special day.
This was a special year as on
decision day, students were
encouraged to go Phi or Astro as
before, but their entering the club
was on a different basis. For Astros,
applications were screened and only
certain members inducted. To be a
Phi all members who join must keep
a certain point ratio or be dropped
from membership. When all the
rushing was over and the last star
and bear removed from the cafeteria,
there were 54 applications for Phis
and 34 new Astros.

Sophomore Jubilee!
Here they go again! For one more
night the Meredith students put aside
books to show the side of creativity
and spirit that is rarely seen under the
mask of books. Once again for a week
of practice State boyfriends are rejected
and the outside world wonders if the
Angel Farm has indeed finally gone
mad.
In reality the tradition of competition
between classes was underway once
more under the disguise of Stunt 1977.
The freshmen class began the antics
with a take off on social life in the
fraternities at nearby State and
Carolina. Showing no lack of
enthusiasm, sophomores followed with
their view of a "Late Adolescent, Post
Teenage Sophomore Miss Pageant."
The country beauty sang her way into
the hearts of bird lovers everywhere
and was crowned the reigning queen.
Meredith's legendary "Angel Farm"
came to life in a witty skit by the junior
class that left the audience in "seventh
heaven." Last, but never least the
seniors skit of well known television
personalities in a news station brought
to close the '77 Stunts.
Judges proclaimed the Sophomore
class the winners for the first time in
years. To their uncontrolled delight the
sophomores were proclaimed the
victors for their creativity, costumes
and original skits.

Founder's Day
Alumnae Return
Founder's Day brought the return of
Alumnae and Trustees to the Meredith
campus. For the seniors, it was the first
time that they would march with their
caps and gowns and for the faculty it
was a day of seeing former students.
During the morning a program was
held in honor of the founding of
Meredith College. The speaker was
Frank Cary, chairman of the Board of
IBM. After the ceremony, friends
renewed aquaintances over a buffet
luncheon. The highlight of the day was
the dedication of the Wainwright
Music Building which is the newest
addition to campus.

"Come Blow
Your Horn" . . ,
Auditions for Meredith's spring
production of Neil Simon's "Come
Blow Your Horn" found many students
convincing themselves that they could
manage the tight schedules, hasty
meals, and sunrise study hours. Nancy
Truesdale, faculty director aided by
Kim Dale, assistant director made the
difficult decision of cast members for
the comedy.
As the rehersals progressed,
Southern drawls became Jewish
intonations, a clumsy gait transformed
into a high heeled slink and freshmen
antics became Metropolitan
sophistication. The two months of hard
work, cooperation and dedication
culminated on opening night with
gratifying applause and favorable
reviews. Closing night brought a sense
of achievement, lasting friendship and
many good memories.

"Come on Sam, pass it around
more." I wonder if the band is
supposed to be better this year. I hear
they are having it at the Woman's Club
or something like that. Just so they
play a lot of boogie music and a little
slow —
Should I have gotten her that "We're
going to have to play better defense
than that" pin corsage or maybe it
should have been a wrist corsage?
Maybe it won't get squashed and stick
me in the process. "Sid's open, Sam."
Hope it matches her dress. Reckon I
should have asked her what color it is.
You know how particular the Angels
are.
Dinner at Darryl's ought to be great
with her suite. I'm just glad that they
didn't want the Angus Barn. "I'm
clear, I'm clear." I should have checked
on how much it will cost. "Ronnie, at
6'3" you ought to be able to stuff it by
now." Wonder how much it will cost
for the two of us. Maybe I shouldn't be
working up such an appetite. "Pass it
to Walt."
"Got to go guys. I'm supposed to
pick her up in another hour. I wouldn't
miss all the girls looking out of the
windows for anything." I sure hope I
have a clean shirt. "See you next week,
if I'm not captured by a member of the
Angel Farm at the Junior Senior
tonight.

Parent's Weekend
188 — OAK LEAVES 1977
Oh, to be an Angel for a Day
We look forward to the weekend
designed just for parents at Meredith.
We can actually view what our
daughter always writes home about.
But what 1 can't figure out is why she
thinks the rules are strict . . . and that
delicious food — why does she need so
much money to spend outside of
school on meals. All the activities were
so much fun. Of course we enjoy
seeing our daughter and meeting her
classmates that she always talks about.
And that boy she is dating from State
— maybe I shouldn't have met him.
Anyway, we saw the Aqua Angels
perform and the dance group and
Children's Theater. The dinner with all
the other parents was great, but best of
all was meeting all of her famed
professors. It is hard to believe that
they are as hard to get along with as
she says. Oh, if it were only possible to
be young enough to be a Meredith
Angel once again.

Play Day
Crazy Days
are Back!
Once again Meredith has gone a
little crazy. It is not unusual for
everyone to wonder what the campus
is up to this time. As a matter of fact
Raleigh is about used to it and this
time it was the annual Play Day.
Students and faculty rolliced and
cheered at this annual festival held
each spring. A time to try out all those
muscles that have been saved up all
year arrives
ith events such as three
legged race, the sack hop, tug of war,
and other competition between dorms.
Then everywhere you see Meredith
students and faculty return to their
childhood days as dorm members and
faculty challenge each other to fishing,
pool, card games, tennis and even hula
hooping.
At the picnic of foot long hot dogs,
popcorn and candy apples, the overall
championship was awarded to Vann
dorm. The Duke of the day was Dr.
Samson while the duchess-ship was
shared by Mary Jane Lockamy and
Flossie Mae Wooten, the faithful
mascot. The day ended with the
traditional country carnival and finally
tunes from the Smokin' Grass Band.
Students clogged the night away in the
courtyard as the day of relaxation came
to an end. Meredith will always remain
academic centered, but for a while
Shakespere was replaced with jacks
and the community became one to
welcome spring with hearts of children.

Special Activities
Something for Everyone
Convocations, retirement dinners,
0077 day and sandwich seminars —
these are just a few of the many
activities that go on at Meredith every
day that are vital to the students. For
instance, Dr. Huber's sandwich
seminars provide a chance to relate the
world and current topics to the
classroom. Held every Friday, groups
came together to discuss the topic of
the week.
Then there was 0077 day. To the
amazement of some students, the
student center was jammed with
people from the outside world. In
reality it was a day sponsored by career
planning to help aquaint students with
job opportunities and openings.
There are many cultural events and
various trips and activities sponsored
by groups on campus. Each student
has a special happening to remember
that added to her special year at
Meredith. For there is something for
everyone!
192 — OAK LEAVES 1977
Speakers
Every few days it seemed as if
another speaker was being announced
as coming to the Meredith community
to lecture. Many were speakers at
monthly convocation while others were
guest of classes, RSW and special
weeks such as Religious Emphasis
Week. Because of voluntary
attendance, the size of the audiences
were usually few in number. However
the speakers discussed issues of
importance and added to the cultural
awareness of those that attended. Such
lecturers included Margaret Mead,
Betty Friedan, Shana Alexander, Lisa
Sergio, Sol Mendelovi and Barbara
Marx Hubbard.
Convocations and lectures are
unique traditions of Meredith, giving
her a source of unity, intellectual
growth, stimulation and expression. It
is a vital aspect of the Meredith
education.

A Campus Filled with Friendly Faces
Of all the happenings at Meredith
none do more to make Meredith a
community than the students. There
are many faces to the Meredith
women. There are the joys of
friendships, the look of contentment at
the finding of a familiar face in a
classroom. There is the serious
expression of a major test coming up
and the apprehensive look of a blind
date. Who can forget the look on the
face of the angel just engaged or the
look of concern on the face of a
roommate listening to the problems of
love?
Whatever the facial expression on
the student, there is the overall
expression of harmony in the Meredith
community, a harmony produced by
that realization that whatever enters
your world today, you have the
support of that special friend . . . the
friend who is always there when you
need her. Meredith has many
traditions, but the most treasured
tradition of all is the love and harmony
generated between the students.

Class Day
Farewell
5:30 a.m. . . . The sound of the
alarm piercing the early morning
silence ... it can't be time already
... we must be crazy getting up at
this hour to pick daisies . . . surely no
one would even miss us if we just slept
on . . . but — this is a day of tribute to
our big sisters ... a mingling of
excited voices, sleepy laughter, and
half opened eyes as we gather in front
of Johnson Hall . . . sloppy jeans and
tea shirts . . . coolness of the morning
air . . . still dark . . . piling into cars
and heading out in different directions
. . . sky begins to lighten . . . Oh
please be a pretty day . . . eyes
straining to catch even a glimpse of
patches of white along the road —
anywhere . . . wow, a whole field of
daisies . . . grass, heavy with dew
. . . soggy tennis shoes . . . on to
another location . . . turning down
bumpy farm roads . . . can't we just
use black-eyed Susan's instead? . . .
finally friends sitting among tangled
heaps of daisies and ivey . . . knoting
and cutting a chain . . . hurrid change
into dresses . . . feelings of
admiration, love, and sadness as
seniors march in . . . the big sister
song somehow sung with a lump in
our throats . . . the reading of the class
history . . . recognition and Millie's
speech . . . the senior gift of the
gazebo and finally our tribute of
daisies to the class of '77 . . . teary
eyes ... a helpless feeling . . .
they're leaving us . . . hugs,
goodbyes, more tears — and
especially, thanks.

Dole Speaks to '77 Grads
Graduation — a time of excitement,
a time of sadness. We have worked
hard and now it is time to end. A sense
of accomplishment fills our beings, but
the insecurity of an unknown future
weakens those positive sensations.
Ours is a unique class — a special
feeling prevailed among our
revolutionary women. We have
intensified our search for identity and
begun to find our role as women.
Relationships in the Meredith
community will change in significance
as we go our separate ways. However,
fond memories will be with us no
matter what the difference. Many
opportunities are awaiting us as we
make the final steps across the stage
today.
As we reflect on all the good and bad
times at Meredith, we hear Dr. Lolley
deliver the Baccalaureate sermon.
Finally, during the afternoon, while
our many friends and family melt in
the sun we march for the last time.
With pride our families watch us
receive our diplomas and we sit
together for the last time and listen to
Commissioner Dole give the afternoon
address on "Shortages in the Land of
Plenty." On receipt of our Bibles and
diplomas we reflect on four years and
bid farewell to Meredith College.

Raleigh
The Raleigh Life
A night on the town in Raleigh
presents unlimited things to do;
From thousands of choices to choose from
You just decide where and with whom.
Suppose you are getting hungry
and you can't hack the Meredith food
The sky is the limit as to what you can eat,
It's whatever satisfies the mood.
There are many short-order restaurants
Of which we shall name a few:
There's roast beef at Arby's, hot dogs at Hardee's
And chicken at the Colonel's, too.
And then for those with a "Big Mack attack"
McDonald's is right down the street.
While Blimpies and Sadlacks can serve you a sub •
We're sure you'll find something to eat.
Suppose you want to splurge one night
^RncTpay two dollars or more,
Darylls is definitely a Meredith spot,
And pizza places — we have them galore.
If by chance, you get a rich blind date
And he lets you choose the place and time
Then he can't get angry when you choose the Angus Barn,
Or reserve the Kanki for nine.
After your hunger begins to subside
And you are ready for a night on the town
The skyline, the Main Event, or Barney's
Aren't the only places to boogie on down
Goodnight's is always a hot spot to hit
And Thursday night is great for the gals; .
Since girls get in free with free beer cards, too.
What better way to draw a crowd!
And each year as Spring fever hits us again
Hillsborough Square seems to be the place to go,
And this year there are a couple of new places —
Free Advice and Happy Day's Disco.
Then sometimes Meredith's can't supply our needs
So we cruise State and fraternity row.
And if not for any other reason
Than to keep tabs on our special "John Does."

Special Someones
To Him
With Love
That special someone — to many
women on campus, the most treasured
part of Raleigh life is that special male.
Some are N.C. State students, some
local businessmen and many travel
from UNC or elsewhere. But whoever
he is — he is unique. Whether he
brought a moment of happiness or an
entire year, he belonged to you! What
about that special guy? There was the
weekend he chased the blues away and
the time he sent you a flower when you
weren't feeling too well. And what
about the week you had five tests and
how he listened to your tale of woe. He
fed many a hungry stomach and
laughed over many good times. Yes
there were fights and you swore you
would never speak to him again. But
who could resist that smile! You ran in
the rain and watched football and
basketball games together. For many
there were the Jr. Sr. and Christmas
dances and many other nights on the
town. Just as important were the
private talks and most of all the night
you fell in love —
He is special to you in his own way
for all the reasons that only you know.
But to every Meredith girl that special
guy brought moments of happiness and
tears and harmony to your world. Most
of all he held your hand through
another very competitive and tough
year. When you were ready to quit he
somehow knew you would make it
through just because you are you.

FARRAHE!
Entertainment
of the Year!
"Don't touch that dial!" — These are
not the words of some famous — or in-
famous — television announcer.
Rather, they are the frantic tones ut-
tered by anyone of us "regulars" in
front of a TV set every weekday at
twelve noon. Brock sings for every oc-
casion, while Peggy continuously cries.
The fact that Leslie has been changed
infuriates us all. What is it that causes
numerous Meredith Angels to arrange
their schedules so that the twelve
o'clock hour is free? What do these tele-
vision personalities have that causes us
to give up a half-hour of warm,
springtime sunshine to catch up on that
favorite soap? We don't have time to
figure that out — we're too busy trying
to make it to the television set in time!
Not only are Meredith Angels glued
faithfully to the tube for their favorite
"story", but some of us more ardent fol-
lowers have our reserved seats in the
parlors from sunup to midnight. Who
would dare study during prime time?
Who can afford to miss such good spe-
cials? How can we forget those late
night movies . . . (and the pizza we
ordered to help keep us awake!)? After
all, television is a proven educational
medium; and who would deny our in-
tellectual curiosity by turning off the
tele — Don't touch that dial!
Television is only one form of enter-
tainment in the year 1977. Where were
you and who were your favorite stars,
songs and movies?

Most students at Meredith have more
than a passing interest in current affairs
and many of them are actively involved
n making things happen. A few brief
glances into a freshmen's journal for the
i^ year will give an idea of how even the
relatively uninvolved student is
touched by current issues at Meredith.
Obviously, Meredith not only exposes
her students to current affairs, but gives
them a chance to become involved as
well.
October —
Wow, it's really been a full month!
The elections are on everyone's mind.
There are posters, buttons, stickers for
this candidate or that everywhere, and
the juniors even used the elections as
their Cornhuskin' theme.
And would you believe that I shook
Jack Ford's hand?? He came to the cam-
pus and spoke for a few minutes. Of
course, his visit got all the Carter fans in
full swing, and the courtyard looked
like a Ford-Carter collage!
November —
Well Jimmy Carter is our new presi-
dent! Many girls on my hall seemed
was elected governor of N.C. So ends
the elections for another four years.
January —
Back to school after such a long break!
Jimmy Carter has been inagurated.
True to his word, the first thing he did
was to pardon the draft offenders. The
general feeling around campus seemed
to be in favor of the decision. However,
I'll argue that issue any day, along with
the capital punishment one. Yes, they
executed Gary Gilmore.
February —
February already! The semester will
soon be gone.
You know I've been doing a lot of
thinking lately about the ERA.
Meredith, being a women's college,
provides all sorts of opportunities for
learning about women, from special
courses to film series to lectures and
workshops. Seeing women in this
broader light has completely changed
my passive attitude toward the ERA to
one of strong advocacy.
Oops! I'm going to miss "Roots"! It's
a fascinating program that has swept
America and you can hardly find a tele-
upset that Ford lost, but things will vision on campus that is not tuned to it!
work for the best, I believe. Jim Hunt

Meredith
Abroad
London. . A city with varied meanings
to many people. To one who has only
been there through pictures, it is a queen
frozen in a mid-wave of the hand, a
smiling beef-eater at the Tower of
London, or halted marching guards at
Buckingham Palace; all neatly transferred
onto a page.
But to the 64 Meredith students and
faculty who lived in London for two
months during the summer of '76, the
pictures once seen in a book, now come
alive with laughter, color, and pulsating
life. We discovered London to be a city of
contrasts. While the stifling heat brought
sweat to our brows, the cool night air
coming off the Thames gave a renewed
feeling to us all. Walking down the
familiar stretch to the tube station, in a
matter of minutes one could be in
Piccadilly, Hyde Park, or Wimbledon.
The vibrant talk and bustle arising in the
station during the day, suddenly becomes
a frightful solitude when left there at 12
midnight, not one pence for a taxi; and
the tubes are closed for night — "Sorry!"
The students took advantage of their
freedom to roam about the city, taking in
sights such as Parliament, Greenwich
Village, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Samuel
Johnson's House. Besides visiting
historic monuments, there was also
ample time for the theatre, with
astounding plays and musicals like
"Equus", "A chorus Line", and
"Mousetrap".

Where Do We Go From Here?
There is rarely a time at my home
church when I am not stopped by some
well-meaning, but out-of-touch older
lady who inquires about the state of my
Meredith career. Am I adjusting well?
Have I chosen a major? Do I like my
professors? When I reply, "Oh, I'm
graduating in May!," the inevitable
response is, "Oh, Honey, are you
really! Has it been four years already?
My, how time has flown. It hasn't
seemed like you've been there that
long, now does it?!" In situations such
as these, I am always reminded of a
fellow-student who replied to a similar
question, "Oh, yes ma'am! It has most
definitely been four full years'."
Four years — full of plans, hopes,
dreams, realities, sorrows, worry,
tension, excitement — but most
definitely four years. Where did it get
us? What did we learn? What feelings
do we carry with us? To get an idea of
our feelings after four years at
Meredith, we collected some thoughts
from our fellow students in answer to
our questions.
— What are you doing after graduation?
getting married, and hope to get a
job in Social Services * working in
industry and working up to an
executive position * trying to get a
pharmaceutical sales job * going back
home and find a job! * looking for a job
(anywhere!) * work in business
administration, I hope * continue to
study music and drama * I don't know *
travel * teach *
— What is your greatest hope for the
future?
to find an area of work I enjoy * to
be satisfied with myself * to get a job I
won't feel stuck with * to be brave
enough to be myself at all times * to get
married (!) * to work toward my highest
potential * to be well-known *
— What is your greatest fear?
to be stuck in a situation I can't get
out of * not to be able to afford the
things I want * to be lonely * to be
unemployed * to lose touch with myself
* not to make much of my Life * to be in
a big city with no friends * bankruptcy *
to wish my life away * that people won't
accept me as I am * to lose my loved
ones *
— How has Meredith prepared you for
the future?
broadened my knowledge of
people * taught me how to get along
with people of all sorts * academically
well-rounded and versatile * placement
service * helped me learn to love and
accept other people * exposed me to
different facets of life * made me more
independent * gave me the opportunity
to do things I never would have done *
it hasn't * shown me the potential to get
involved in people's lives intimately *
showed me how to use my time *
broadened my horizons *
Yes, it has definitely been four years.
Who could have done everything we
have had to do — and everything we've
wanted to do — in much less time?! But
then again, who would have wanted to?
It's been a good four full years!

Education of LOVE!
A professor in Chicago is reported to
have given the following test to his
pupils. He told them they were not
really educated unless they could say
Yes to all these questions:
Has your education given you
sympathy with all the good causes and
made you espouse them?
Has it made you public-spirited?
Has it made you a brother to the
weak?
Have you learned how to make
friends and to keep them?
Do you know what it is to be a friend
yourself?
Can you look an honest man or a pure
woman straight in the eye?
Do you see anything to love in a little
child?
Will a lonely dog follow you down the
street?
Can you be high-minded and happy
in the meaner drudgeries of life?
Do you think washing dishes and
hoeing corn just as compatible with
high thinking as piano playing or golf?
Are you good for anything to
yourself? Can you be happy alone?
Can you look out on the world and
see into a mud puddle by the
wayside and see anything in the puddle
but mud?
Can you look into the sky at night
and see beyond the stars?
Can your soul claim relationship with
the Creator?

The 1977 OAK LEAVES is finally
finished. After a year of planning, hard
work and many good times, it is all
over. I said many times during the past
year that the happiest time of my life
would be when I no longer had to drag
this book around with me and yet,
there is a sadness that comes with
finishing something that has become a
part of your life.
There are many people that I cannot
thank enough for making this book
possible. Dru Hinsley and Merna
Galassi deserve a special thanks for all
of their understanding and
encouragement. For all the times that
Bill Norton would have liked to kill me
for adding to his work load, I want him
to know that I appreciate all of his help.
Especially I would like to thank all of
the photographers who put in hours of
work for us. Jana and Stella always
came through with late nigh^ hqin-s a»d
as for Cindi Sharpe-
You are the greatest. Beth Wicker
deserves special recognition for hours
and hours of tedious work on the
division pages and for work towards
the cover.
Nor could I ever have made it without
our yearbook representative Joe
Allegood and all of his patience and
understanding. Smith Studios
produced all of the portraits and did a
terrific job, also.
Finally to all of the students who
wrote copy — thanks and especially
thanks to Suzanne and Sara. There are
two staff members that stand in a class
all of their own. Saribeth, you were
great and good luck to you. Robin, you
stuck with me all the way! I wish you a
successful year with the 1978 OAK
LEAVES.
I hope that I have not forgotter^C
anyone. If I have I apologize, ^^*
Especially, I promise all of my family
^jd very close friends that they will
never hear the word yearbook again!
Can you believe that I finished and only
drove us all half crazy?
As usual I have to have the last word
(or words). But, I do want the student
body to know that we hope you are
proud of your book. We did our best
and that is all that can be asked.
Throughout the 1977 yearbook we tried
to show our idea of love and harmony
and how we see the Meredith
community. As the middle of the
summer approaches, finally your book
is finished. Producing it for you has
been a true experience that has touched
my life. Now we ask only that you take
the love, harmony, and peace offered in
the 1977 OAK LEAVES and share it
wherever you go and with everyone
that you see.
With a special love,
Sarah Ruth til
My Last Word!!
