What are they? Why, don’t you know? They are the Thanksgiving Dance and the College Party. Let us take a look through an imaginary peek- hole into the future at some of the lovely party dresses you will be wearing. You make your grand entrance in a colorful blue velveteen coat, with a blue taffeta lining. As you take off your coat we discover a rustley taffeta blue dress, starred over with blue flowers. The door is opened and all eyes are on you. Oh, there goes the music, and there you go waltzing with the man of your dreams, now in a low backed torso dress of red chrom- spun acetate taffeta set off by golden snowflakes.

Armstronsr, Religion and Philosophy instructor, and Sara Lou Harris, Bennett grad and New York model, demonstrate a Sophisticated Mambo at the fashion show held last month. Bennett Goes 'Frenchie' La Moulin Rouge was presented October 28, 1955, in the Little Theater at seven o’clock p. m. Some of the most outstanding celebrities of the United States came to Bennett with many old favorites in songs and comedies. Among these were Hazel Scott, Josephine Baker, Eartha Kitt, and an old dance team of the early twenties, Sophie Tucker and Lil lie. All the classes entered the Tal ent Show and the sophomores walked off with the prize when good old Sophie (Shirley Moore) and Lillie (June Britter) did the ever memorable Charleston. And to top the cake, Sophie’s beads broke and scattered all over the shining dance floor and the crowd went wild with laughter. Along with Lillie and Sophie from the sophomore class was Patricia Hop kins, who is an accomplished ba ton twirler. It seemed as though she had been twirling since early childhood. TAP UAJVUttl SCJORbiS Sailing in on the American Queen Ann, came Rudene Abney (a member of the freshman class), who tapped away on a “French Boogie.” Clad in a semi-French outfit and a swanky hair style, Miss Abney won applause for her smooth, yet appealing, dance.

Those that I have met have been quite friendly and most cooperative. Even now, I can say, I have found the Bennett Community offers the qualities that make one justly proud of being a part of it.” Our new Director, by the v/ay, is a ’52 graduate of Hampton In stitute where she received a B. S. Degree in Nursery Edvicat’ou. Patricia Hopkins ’58 News In and Around the Dormitory Let’s take a peep and see what’s going on in our various dormitories on the campus. Pfeiffer Hall will have a dance on November 19, which will bring in the Thanksgiving season. Merner Hall’s dance on Novertx- ber 12, was really a commendable event. Barge Hall’s dance on the 29 of October proved to be a great success and a good time was had by all. Reynolds Hall is the lucky hall this year for they will entertain the Morehouse men on Thanks giving. The Fre.shmen will not sponsor their activities until after their Emancipation Thanksgiving. We will be expecting to hear more about our dorms in the near future so don’t miss “News in and Around The Dormitories. Vesper Highlights Oct. 25 Dr. Franklin H. McNutt, as sociate dean of the graduate school of the Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina, was the vesper speaker for today; his theme — THE UNIVERSE and THE PLACE OF GOD AND MAN WITHIN, He urged that, in order to suceed we must endure some troubles. Other thoughts expressed were, that the universe is unfolding, we have only to look back, and lastly, that the world is unfinished, the sky is the limit. Nov. 7 The Methodist Youth Planning Group, Central North Carolina dis trict, and the Bennett Family worshipped together in the Annie Merner Pfeiffer Chapel, with Dr. Emanuel Gitlin, Associate Profes sor of Biblical Literature, Univer sity of North Carolina, bringing the morning message. The theme of Dr. Gitlin’s mes sage was based on the conference but you sit this one out, sitting work has been extreniely satisfy- graciously in a pink silvered ny-^ng and I think Bennett ht=s the Ion lace over wispering taffeta, | most beautiful and modern Child - set off by shoe-string straps and ren’s House that I have seen.

Her silvery top caps a high, straight line with two shoulder bows. The skirt is a golden quilted circle, set off by a golden belt at her dainty waist. Well, who is that in the recep tion line in that aqua stem-slim sheath dress, set off by a high neckline? Oh, no! It can’t be! But it is! Who? Why, don’t you know? Yes, you guessed it—it’s you! The band, now plays “Goodnight Sweetheart,” and you can’t believe time has gone so fast. You and your friend, with eyes sparkling, rise to dance the last dance with the man of your dreams—you, in a glamorous champagne princess line, with a decollete above a row of buttons, and your friend in a black halter blouse with its dog collar neckline set off by rhine stone scatter pins, and a wide, handsome skirt in a striking vel vet pattern on white acetate and and rayon. The song has ended but the melody lingers on, for you know that you have danced every dance in a dress that has invited com pliments throughout the evening. “Bang!” The door slams and someone yells, “There goes the bell,” and you realize it is time for your next class. You look around, your imaginary peek-hole into the future has disappeared, and you rush to put on your coat so you won’t be late for class. But on your way you think back, smile and say, “Now, which one shall I wear?” —SHIRLEY SINKLER. theme, which was — Revolution and Redemption, From this in spiring address, we discover that the kingdom of GOD is vouch safed to us and that the continued presence of God gives us a closer fellowship with God. Nov. 13 The Rev. J. O. Williams, pastor of the Salem Methodist Church, New York City, spoke to us on WHY THE CHURCH? Rev. Williams cited the useful ness and importance of the church. He declared that under no condi tion has the church out-lived its usefulness, as some would charge. The church offers comfort and aid to each and everyone in all of life’s terrible conditions. —Carolyn El’Rhea Brown Speaks at Luncheon Llywellyn Williams, a member of the British Parliament, was the speaker at a luncheon given by the American Friends Service Com mittee November 10, at the Cen tral Y. W. C. A. Mr. Williams cited the hypocriti- al position which both England and America are taking in the Egypt-Israel conflict. To the world England and America appear to have the hands off policy, but act ually they have either sold arms or given finances to buy arms to the nations in conflict. The speaker profoundly stated that a World War III would be “a little less than world suicide.” The British M. P. who represents the Labor Party is not only inter ested in politics, but he is also an ordained Congregational minister; has played rugby football and is still very much interested in it. The luncheon was attended by many students of the Greensboro Colleges and staff members of the American Friends Service Com mittee. Representing Bennett were: McClure P. McCombs, so ciology instructor; Grace Dungee, junior; Gwendolyn Harris, junior; and Adelia Hammond, senior. New Nurse The Bennett Banner wishes to welcome our new Nurse who came in October. Nurse Hampton of Winston - Salem North Carolina is a gradu ate of Kate Bitting Reynolds Me morial School of Nursing. Concerning the college and her new and first position, which was recommended by one of her in structors at Kate Bitting, she states “my work is satisfying, I like Bennett and find it to be a very warm and friendly place, one feels that he belongs. The fac ulty, staff and students make friends easily.” Poetry Readings Heard The Humanities Division spon sored its initial evening of poetry reading November 10, at 8:00 p. m. in the Merner Hall parlor. Dr. Hobart Jarrett, chairman of the Humanities Division, read selections from the works of John Donne. Dr. Jarrett categorized the works of Donne to cover the most inter esting and well-known portions Df Donne’s poetry. Selections of poetry were from Donne’s early years as a writer and John Donne’s laters as a writer to show how Donne’s views changed through the years.
