Bradsher Tell All About Togs For Dance
by lone Bradsher
The clothes of Salem girls reflect
fashion and predict it. They change
and combine it—all charmingly with
their own individual style. They
wear the new and the old.
Recently; Salem girls have been
tramping the streets and invading
shops for that ^^just right dress
for the first dance of the season.. The
dance is sponsored by the Student
Government and the theme is one of
football. ^
Tlie freshmen, excited by their
first dance, are wearing the newest
of the new.
Liz Hancock, who is dating Hall
Moore, is wearing a bouffant laven
der net. It features a softly gath
ered collar that falls slightly off-
shoulder. The skirt also has ruffles
which taper into a point in the back.
Peggy Bonner is going to wear
aqua taffeta that also is strapless,
and is highlighted by two enormous
fuschia bows. Her date is John Pe-
graduate (optimist, thi sboy) in
rebee,
Sally Senter, who is dating Bob
Renfrew, says she will wear Ameri
can beauty faille, which is made
with a '‘boat'’ neck and has a full,
full skirt.
The upperclassmen, who have been
attending Salem dances for these
long years still are individualistic
in their choice of evening dresses.
In red and white marqiesette will
be Helen Creamer, who is dating
riiarlie Hertwig. Helen’s dress has
a wide red cummerbund and the

skirt is of tiered ruffles. To keep
up with the fashion of the season,
she has a red and white stole to
wear over her shoulders.
Eula Mae Cain will also be seen
in red. Her dress is a classic in
that it is strapless and has paniers
over the hips. Eula Mae's date is
Johnny Smitherman.
The procrastinating Seniors did
not know what they were going to
wear; not even sure of their dates;
and some were compelled to attend
liomecoming, etc., etc.
Fuller Dibbrell is leaving the to
bacco business for a while, to come
to the dance with Mary Patience
McFall who is wearing faille-taffeta
which is of a sophisticated style.
Ann Lanier is going to the dance
and is wearing a black net dress
which features sequins on the bodice
which spray onto the skirt. She is
dating John Kerr Spencer.
The conclusion drawn is that
Salem girls do have timeless, lovely
clothes. Simple and right, they will
outshine the''merely pretentious; out
last the fashion caprices of any sea
son. Undeniably new, they have
good manners, good sense and price
less adaptability.
