Four Seniors Read
Favorite Poems
The October Poetry Reading
sponsored by Junta, the English
Club, was held in Pfeiffer Hall
Parlor, October 17. This month
Junta presented some of the sen
ior English majors reading from
their favorite poets.
Those reading were Shirley
Waters, reading from Walt Whit
man, an American contemporary.
Selections were from his “Inscrip
tion,” “Song of Myself,” and
“Licaves of Grass.”
Jimmie English read from Carl
Sandburg. Her selections were very
humorous.
The last contemporary poet read
from was T. S. Eliot, by Carolyn
Rhea Brown, who read, “The Love
Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” “The
Hollow Men,” and Rhapsody On
A Windy Night.”
Reading from the Victorian
poet-Laureate, Alfred Lord Tenny
son, was Peggy Coefield, who
read, “Ulysses” and concluded the
evening of poetry with the poets’
immortal “Crossing The Bar.”
Junta extends an invitation to
all to attend the November Poeti-y
Reading, which will be held in
Reynolds Hall, when Mrs. Blanche
Raiford of the Spanish department
will read from a Spanish poet.
1957-'58 DANCE

The newly organized dance
group of Bennett College con
sisting of thirty-five students and
approximately six young men of
A&T College, is under the direc

Wiggins, secretary, Ann Saunders:
assistant secretary, Nancy Kirby;
treasurer, Sonja Weldon; pro
gram chairman, Joan Didier;
business manager, Marion Benton;

Some of the young men of the
group had this to say;
Harold Robinson, a junior, “I am
enjoying my work with the young
ladies of the Bennett College
Dance Group.”
Edward Battle, also a junior,
“I, too, am enjoying my work
with the young ladles and I plan
to continue to work with the group
the entire year.”
The group is now preparing
dances for a Mid-Week Vespers
service in December. “The Holy
City” and “And The Glory of
The Lord,” from the Messiah, are
two of these dances.
Favorite Fashions:
FASHIONS TO FLAHER THE FEET
This month we are featuring
fashions to flatter the feet: a red
suede flat with two tabs fastened
to the side with large silver but
tons.
Shoes with a country cast of
character: for a long walk, a
roughened leather brogue in a
crepe sole; change of pace for a
a walking shoe—a longer line,
narrower look in brown glove
leather. A crack of dawn kind
~Sf country oxford—^imexpectedly
slim and shapely in moss green
calfskin, featuring a crepe sole and
egg shajied heel; the country shoe
or tweeds and pearls on a wooden,
wasted heel, in textured beige
calfskin, black-laced; the quin
tessence of the coimtry shoe, th«
ghillie, in golden brown lizagator,
thinly laoed with black and set on
a black cone heel; adding to the
fall array of color, a scarlet pig
tail leather drawn to a fine iwint
and laced.
Boots The Thin^
An outstanding casual foot fea
ture this season is found in the
boots—active, playful, and fleet-
footed for the busy life you lead—
the most outstanding—a walking
boot, featured in a flexible sUpon
that will walk you to class, a
boot that envelopes your foot and
cushions it on a light supple sole
and heel .The ginger color glown
in brushed leather and spices your
wardrobe tweeds.
To wear with these country
shoes, a rustic stocking with a
wonderful new stretch fit—of cot
ton and nylon in a handsome
jacquard pattern.
In town, we notice the new
pump profiles: a garnet calfskin
pump, its long vamp softened by
an instep strap and a deep cutout
cure: an Oxford, yes, but like no
Oxford you’ve ever seen -before.
The vamp is on a new last-beveled
on the sides, softened by one of
the new nipped-off toes. The color,
fog color, pierced by a garnet
underlay.
A long, low curve of Ohio calf
riding on a beautifully tapered
heel, up front, a golden buckle.
A slick smooth calfskin licked
by a grained Celtic calfskin tongue,
fog colored.
Pumps And Bows
Pall textures show their shapes
in the following: a flat-bowed
pump; a soft-grained leather with
base of operations, an old-fash
ioned, low-down, underelung Louis
heel.
A fresh approach to a plain
pump; a soft-gralne dleather with
a straight little stretch of collar,
in smooth leather and a bow off
side.
A T-strap that’s nothing but a
few strips of leather in back in
graphite gray. The heel, a trom-
phe-l’oell high heel.
A shoe that follows in the foot
steps of the ’twenties—the thin-
heeled, pointed-toe, collar and tie
pump in back suede.
A shining black snakeskln pump,
steep-heeled (very) and pointy-
toed (very) and beautiful (very).
Could be all the jewels you’d
need.
A rose-red pump that’s fuel for
all-black'or all-beige or aU-gray
and fire for, say, a garnet red suit
or a delft blue tweed. It’s shined
with a smooth leather tab and
uplifted on a thin streak of heel.
A bright tobacco brown pump
with a little stitched bridge across
the vamp, a new shape.
The elegant gray shoe, which has
never been in better standing,
suede calfskin, jeweled with a
rocco gold and gray ceramic buc
kle. The skinny heel is a mere two
inches tall.
The parlor flat par excellence:
slippery black patent leather
pumps buckled at the side and the
toes sharpened to ap oint.
The spat flat in MG red calf
skin sportily buttoned up the side
with white pearl buttons and made
along i'acy lines.
A 'hoe that doesn’t require wrjll-
pa\ed v/alks lo go far in th.^ worM,
& camcl buckskin flat wi^.h a
broad, smooth expanse of vamp
coming up the front stretch
Dazzling pumps are going out
for big evenings accompanying
chiffon, peau d sole, and crepe.
An eyecatching slender pump of
silk taffeta rises just an inch or
so on a curved French heel and
flourishes in a lavish rose and leaf
print. A rhinestone buckle siJarkles
at the cutout vamp.
To match your shoe wardrobe,
nylons tinted to give the right
glint of color: a gUnt of bhie, a
blush of pink, a tinge of red, a
shade of grey.
Next month watch for your
favorite fashions to make you the
Belle of the Ball.
