PAGE 2 THE SKIRL TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1955 Flogo wTU ^£iM ^ D«W “Be Still and know... “Crash, slam!” “Hey, every body!” ‘‘Well, howdy, come on in and have a seat!” Such are the noises and loud exclamations heard in the halls at definitely the wrong times. How can one “be still and know that I am God” amidst all the turmoil from eight to eight ten each week-day morning and from nine to ten thirty Sun day mornings? Prayer band leaders who keep their groups until the bell have asked that dormitories be kept quiet while they are worship ping on Thursday nights. Some prayer bands are adjourned be fore others and the members of those bands are asked to leave quietly and go to their rooms without necessary noise. How about some co-operation from the students on the halls during these periods for wor ship and meditation! To Give or Not to Give is tl?i Question Do you ever stop to think how much trouble you are to a boy before he takes you a formal dance? You are, you know. For one of the many questions that the boy has to ask himself and to worry over is the question of whether or not he should give his date flowers. If he does give her some, then what kind should he get and what color and how much should he put in them. Flowers in these days and times are very expensive, and many boys do not have too much extra cash to spend on things like this. This money could be put to a better use. Then, too, there is the fact that if the boy is going on a blind date or if it is just a casual date do you not think that he could leave off the flowers for they cannot mean that much between the couple? Flowers only last for a short time and are usually used only for being worn to church the date after the dance. Some flo wers look bad even when you get them for sometimes the florist is not such a good ar ranger. Also there is the fact that some girls are not going to have flowers and it makes those who don’t have them feel bad. Sometimes there is no place on an evening dress to put a corsage and the flowers can even be the wrong color, but the girl will have to wear them anyway. So why not just elimi nate all of this and just let the boys not send flowers to their dates for dances? —D.M. New Baton Club Forms The Baton Club is the newest club on FMC campus. It is not fully organized yet and does not plan to organize until after the Fall Festival. None of the offi cers have been elected yet but for the present Fay Buck is serving as chairman of the club. So far there are about ten or twelve members. It is open to anyone who is interested in twirling or who wants to learn. The purpose of the club is not just a club for those who already know how to twirl but also for those who want to learn how to I twirl. Personality Chooses Double Major By Gay Mothershed Ambitious and industrious are hardly the words to de scribe anybody who has taken it upon herself to have two ma jors in college, yet that is just what our spotlight finds as it falls on today’s “Personality Portrait”. The one who is at tracting the most attention and is the center of exclaim has chosen two majors, Bible and Christian Education along with Mathematics. Excelling in practically everything she does, this pert young Senior Miss finds herself in much demand from every student at some time during the year. is Math Honor Society Member She is an outstanding mem ber of the Mathematics Honor Society and was also the editor of THE SKIRL during her Jun ior year. At the present, we car. see her almost anytime during the day (or night) running around school and town look ing after the business details of the annual for she has tii"! trust-worthy and time-consuming job of business manager for THE WHITE HEATHER. Hailing from Reidsville, N, C., this bundle of energy was very concerned with the activi ties of Orange Presbytery and held the office of Moderator of the 'Presbytery’s/ Senior High Fellowship during her Fresh men and Sophomore years at FMC. Works In Camp New Hope Camp New Hope is a subject very dear to her heart because during the past summer she served counsellor for the Crip pled Children’s Camp. If you don't know by now who this versatile, hard-working practical, energetic young Miss is, you would probably be able to recognize her by her laugh ter. The infectious laugh of Kit- tye Oliver is certainly a distinc tive characteristic of this hon ored member of the Senior Class and today we pause to praise in “Personality Por traits.” Highland Hearings 1955 Graduates Work, Marry, Study Guess Who!
