Jean’s formula for holiday magic—lovely you in a Stacy Starr
Parisian adaptation. Shirley Powell models exactly what we have in
mind. It’s a black party taffeta with an enchanting neckline sprinkled
with sequins, a close-fitting bodice buttoned in front, and an exaggerated
hip-line. Her cocktail hat has sweeping black feather.

Women in Politics
Discussed By League
Women do things in politics
but don’t get credit for them.
The Meredith Student League of
Women Voters, meeting in the
Hut on November 16 at 7:00
p.m., tried to show those present
some of the things women are
doing in present day politics and
government. Peggy Benbow,
who led the discussion, pointed
out that when women realize
their responsibility and strength
in government they do some
thing about it. Orea Mauney
previewed the highlights in the
political career of Mrs. Helen
Douglas. Margaret Chase Smith,
THE NIGHT
BEFORE
By Beverly Batchelor
Frost, midnight air-nipped
mittened fingers and exposed
noses; girls clad in dungarees,
warm jackets, boots, and ker
chiefs, which hid bobby pins and
socks, are huddled in groups of
five and ten, humming harmoni
ously (or otherwise) “Silent
Night, Holy Night,” then “Deck
the Halls,” then “Little Town of
Bethlehem.” A stranger in their
midst would have been aston
ished. “Are these Meredith
girls?” he would have question
ed. “In dungarees? Out at mid
night?”
And they’d have answered,
“Oh, tonight’s different. Don’t
you know about tonight?” For,
you see, we think that everyone
should know about “Home for
Christmas Day Eve”—the night
when hordes of Meredith
carolers scramble into buses and
canvass Raleigh, singing lustily,
yet reverently, songs of Christ
mas, the birth day of our Lord.
No one should miss the thrill of
caroling and of shoving on and
off crowded special buses or the
excitement of returning to
Meredith to doughnuts and
coffee and to party, party, party.
“How will I be able to stay
awake for all this?” you ask.
Oh, don’t be concerned about
staying awake that night; it’s
the morning after that you’ll
have to worry about!

URMURINGS
By Kathy Lewis
The approaching Christmas
season brings with it many and
various musical programs. The
spirit of Christmas is expressed
by most of us by the singing of
the beautiful Christmas carols.
Perhaps many of you are plan
ning to sing in Christmas con
certs during the holidays. The
Christmas season is indeed a
season filled with music.
This Sunday afternoon, Dec
ember 12, the Meredith College
Choir, under the direction of Dr.
Cooper, will present its annual
Christmas concert. The choir Is
joining the State College Glee
Club for the program which will
be given at Pullen Hall. This
year there will be only one per
formance.
The choir is planning to make
recordings of the Christmas pro
gram. These recordings are to be
broadcast over WPTF on Christ
mas Day, so be sure to tune in
while you are at home and listen
to the choir sing. Recordings of
Bach’s “Christmas Oratorio” by
the Raleigh Oratorio Society will
also be played over WPTF on
Christmas day.
Another Christmas broadcast
is planned by the “Group of
Nine.” Tuesday night, December
14, at nine-thirty, they will sing
a group of Christmas numbers
over WNAO.

Having finished her exam, a
soph coed turned her paper over,
started to doodle.
The teacher looked over, com
mented; “If you’re drawing a
picture of me . . . you get an
automatic F.”
Coed looked up, apologized:
“Oh no, it’s just a picture of a
fellow.”
“Oh,” laughed the prof weari
ly, “I thought it was me.”
Coed did a double take: “Gosh
. . does it look that bad!”—

The A. A. is making plans
again this year for us to go

have never been before, I urge
you to go this year. It is lots of
fun and a wonderful experience.
Buses will be here for carolers
at 10:45 p.m.
