Why is everybody so excited
these days and why are there so
many happy faces in spite of the
tests that are descending on us
from all sides? Why? Because
it’s only one more week until
Christmas holidays ! ! ! The
thought of going back to Georgia
for a while thrills me so that I
can hardly think of writing a
column!
But how could I forget the
wonderful hayride sponsored by
the Hoofprint Club? All re
ports seem to indicate that “a
fine time was had by all.” On
December 1, about twenty of
the members and their dates met
down at the stables where they
left for Crabtree Creek on a
wagon piled high with hay. The
entertainment, arranged by Pat
Blackmon, was certainly orig
inal, to say the least. I wonder
just how many people have ever
seen a suitcase relay? Well, I
had never even heard of one un
til then. Three poor, unsuspect
ing dates were urged to volun
teer. Each was given a suitcase
containing various items of fem
inine attire, told to go to a cer
tain spot, put on the clothes,
come back to the starting point,
and remove the clothes. The i
quickest one to make like Gypsy
Rose Lee wins. B. J. Johnson

and doughnuts for the refresh
ments. After singing around the
campfires for a white every one
piled back on the wagons and
came home. Did I hear someone
murmur, “Wonderful”? I
thought so.
The Folk Dance Group really
believe in starting the month oft
right; they proved this Decem
ber 1 by going to Oxford for
a short concert. The following
members of the club danced as
partners: Judy Powers-Frankie
Ward, Mary Lou Sawyer-Mar-
garet Hope Smith, Billie Hart-
Bobby Swanson and Barbara
Pearson - Betsy Anne Morgan.
The first dance was the Cow
boy’s Christmas Ball proceded
by an account o fthe history of
the dance by Miss Doris Peter
son, sponsor of the group. The
dames did the Schottische next,
followed by the Oxford Minuet
which especially pleased their
audience. Kathy Deane sang for
the next dance, the Singing
Quadrille. The group concluded
with a Polka and a Square
Dance. Their audience, the Ox
ford’s Woman’s Club, treated the
girls with a wonderful supper
after the dance.
Each of the girls taking crea
tive rhythms is beginning to
work on her original dance. I
hear that Addie Elliott is going
to use Ritual Fire Dance as her
music and that she is going to
symbolize fire. Meredith had
better watch out for Flaming
Elliott!!!
