t Page Six F. S. T. C. VOICE JANUARY 1947 JOYNER HALL HAS OPEN HOUSE The cozy room pictured above is that of .Miisses LsabcOa Nicholson and Mary Greenfield. DOROTHY DIX On Friday evening, November 8th, Joyner Hall opened its doors to the entire campus family and friends. As the guests entered the recep tion room, which was very beau tifully decorated in radiant au tumn colors, they were most heartily welcomed by the hos tesses, Misses Ellison, Brown, Francis Greenfield, Elenora Ben- net, Edith Brown, Isabelle Nichol son and Mrs. Juanita Cliett. The young women standing at tJieir doors invited the guests in to their rooms in a courteous and congenial manner and did an excellent job of making everyone feel at home. The soft colors of the rooms, the freshly ijolished floors, the lovely bedspreads and neatly arranged varities drew many admirable glances remarks from all who saw' them. The more recent addition to the dorm itory, a recreation room in the basement of the building, was the center of much gaiety and ftin for the persons who happen ed to get to the room just as some one was playing the piano. Up in the living room, Mr. Cop- pedge, accompanied by Mrs. I-ula Dixon Mendes, sang several solos and music was played throughout the evening by Edith Brown. All persons who finished the tour were served refreshments in the office of the matron. Misses Kingsley Small, Pearl Young, and Fannie Blue and Mrs. Lottie Hall Bull presided at the refresh ment section. This enjoyable occasion w^as sponsored by the Charm School of the dormitory nd the Dormi tory Association. The officers of the former are; Miss D. A. McGlohon, sponsor. Miss H. A. Hucles, co-Sponsor, lidith Brown, president. Pinkie Venable, secretary, and Dorothy Bobinson, treasurer. The offic ers of the latter organization are as follows: Kingsley Small, president, Mrs. Lottie Hall Buss, secretary, Mrs. Lulu Dixon Mendes, treasurer, Fannie Blue, chairman, pro gram committee, and Bose Bur- well, chairman, social committee. All of these groups are guided by the capable matron of Joyner Hall, Mrs. Dunie A. Bryant. There are 31,181, verses in the King James version of the Bible. (News & Observer) The chief gripe of married women is the hardships of domes ticity. They seem to think that in marriage they w'ere sold down the river, and they are forever beating upon their breasts and complaining of the long hours they have to work, and being tied down with children, and of how the monotony of having to do the same household tasks over and over every day gets on their nerves, and of how their hus bands never appreciate what they do, but just take it for granted that they enjoy cooking and scrubbing and cleaning and baby- tending. Wherever married ladies are gathered together they hold these Lodges of Sorrow in which they recite their grievances and de plore their sad lots. Surely no thing else in the world is more pitiful than that so many W'omen should spend their lives doing a job that they consider nothing but drudgery and out of which they get no pleasure. There is no one whom the av erage housewife envies so much as she does the Career Woman. She pictures her as leading a gay and carefree life, as earning a huge income, as traveling about the world and meeting interesting and exciting people, and as hav ing beautiful clothes and living at swanky hotels and feasting on exotic foods, instead of the corn ed beef and cabbage she has cooked herself. Only Pipe Dream Befooled by this pipe dream of a life of thrills and luxury, it is no wonder that the domestic wo man is so often dissatisfied with her own daily grind. But if she would take the trouble to dig down and get at the facts in the case, she would find out that mar riage is not only the business for w'hich Nature created women and in which they find their greatest happiness, but it is also the best paying career that they can espouse. SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS IN JOYNER HALL Spirit of (Christmas was really on display as the 109 occupants of Joyner Hall joined in a gay hilarious ('hristmas party, Dec. 15, which brought to an end a wonderful week of fun and sus pense created tjy their C.hi'istmas sisters. The party was held in the re- cejition room of the dormitory with the room beautifidly dec orated with various Christmas deccrations. Even though the grouj) was filled with jubilee these h'gh in spirit ladies were not too over joyed to grasp the real meaning ot Christmas, for after exchang ing of gifts they sat quietly and witnessed a very short but well arranged program featuring the ]\Iisses 1). A. ]\lcGlohon, lidith Brown, Mrs. Lula Dixion blendes and Mrs. 1). A. Bryant. The occupants of Joyner Hall feel that the success of the (Christmas celebration and other successful events are due largely to the very outstanding leader ship of its noble dormitory li- rectress, Mrs. 1). A. Bryant, who concluded the party by present ing to each occupant of Joyner Hall a small gift and a Christmas gfeeting. EAST COKER T. S. Elliot Home is where one starts from. As we grow older The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated Of dead and living. Not the in tense moment Isolated, with no before and after. But a lifetime burning in every moment. . . . Love is most nearly itself ^^'hen here and now cease to mat ter. Old men ought to be explorers Here and there does not matter We inust be still and still moving Into another intensity For a further union, a deeper communion Through the dark cold and the empty desolation. The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning. WHISTLE STOPS A young matron was enjoying the attentions of her dinner part ner, a handsome W'esterner. “But how old do you think I am?” she asked. “Shucks,” he replied, “I don’t know, ma’am, but if I saw you on the street. I’d whistle first and d estimate afterward.” —Contributed by Muriel Lubliner This is the room of Mrs. D. A. Bryant, matron»of Joyner Hall. \
