destination everybody stops the
singing and quietly climbs out
to assemble. It’s all a big plot
to surprise the faculty! In the
still of the December night our
youthful voices peal out; magi
cally the door of the house or
the upstairs window will be
opened. Seems as though every
body gets the Christmas spirit
from the carols; sometimes
there are cookies and apples to
supplement the songsters’ pea
nuts.
The different routes carry
cheer to different parts of
Raleigh. Some visit the homes of

CREATIVE RHYTHMS CLASS WORKS ON
VARIED DANCES FOR JANUARY RECITAL
By JOANNE LARUE
Weird music has been flowing
from the gym lately. Upon in
vestigation, unsuspecting you
are likely to get the shock of
your life. You will be face to face
with anyone from a Japanese
tightrope walker to a Hawaiian
dancer! If you think this is a
joke, just take a look for your
self. Better, yet, why not wait
until January 19 at 8 p.m.? This
is the night of the Creative
Rhythms Recital, in which fifty
girls will display their own
original dances.
Perhaps you would like to
know a little more about these
dances. There will be a poetic
group which include the dances
of elves, fire and ice, sparks,
trees, fairies, shadows, and
various others. The students will
not only dance but will also sing
or speak poetry, which they
composed. A dance, the “Mardi
Gras,” shows great promise. It
is made up of the devil, Eleanor
Henry, the angels, coached by
Evelyn Krause; and the merry-
faculty members throughout the
city, while others go to the State
Prison, Rex Hospital, the Sana
torium, and Dix Hill.
makers, coached by Betty Ed
wards.
Another dance, the “Dialogue
of the Wind and the Sea,” will
be sure to please everyone. The
siren is Carolyn Ballentine, and
the fog horn girl is Mary Jo
Cole, while Betty Edwards, is
coaching the girls representing
waves and wind. Maclyn
Humphrey is busy working on
the “Skating Ballet”; Glynn
Phillips is in charge of the gifts
in “The Old Music Box” dance.
“Mule Train” will return for
this recital! Accompanying it
will be horses, sleighs, and ice
skaters—a varied combination,
to say the least. Many differfent
countries will also be repre
sented; Doris Stainback and
Martha Martin are seeing that
Africa gets its share of publicity.
China is being depicted in a
dance coached by Blanche Won.
If all these dances and
countries sound terribly jum
bled and confusing to you, just
be patient until the middle of
January. Mere descriptive
phrases cannot tell of the
rhythms recital very clearly;
but rest assured that whatever
type of dancing you like, you
will enjoy the dances being re-
Jiearsed from this program!
FROM THE MUSIC WORLD

vealed in the very florid passages
of Suk’s “Burlesque.”
A very different technique of
a slower nature was shown in
Gerald Beal’s presentation of
Tsdhaikowsky’s “Valse Senti-
mentale,” his violin literally
spoke as the sad passages
echoed through the auditorium.
The “Concerto in D Minor,” for
two violins and piano by Bach
showed the true skill and com
plete unity of feeling between
the two brothers and the pianist,
Virginia Bearhard. This was a
superb performance and we ex
pect to hear much more about
Like the club members’
pocketbooks, the “Mrs.” club
dinner, held December 3 at 6:00
p.m., was marked with sim
plicity. A Christmas theme lent
a festive air to the occasion.
Simple decorations were fash
ioned from evergreens, red
berries, candles, and center-
pieces and wall plaques (made
from tin cans).
Meat loaf, creamed potatoes,
English peas, tossed green salad
(a Martha Martin specialty),
hot rolls, and pound cake topped
with vanilla ice cream and
:hocolate sauce were served to
:even couples. Hostesses for the
occasion were Betsy Goldston,
dartha Martin, “Tee” Childress,
md Mary Wright.
Discussion at the December
dub meeting, held December 4
rom 1:00 to 2:00 p.m., included
the making of very inexpensive
Christmas decorations from tin
cans and the welcoming of a
new member, Mrs. Barbara
Ward Horner, to the group.
the accomplishments of these
young artists in the very near
future.
Last, but by all means not
least, is the performance of
Britten’s “Ceremony of Carols”
to be given by the Chorus on
December 10; this is their an
nual Christmas program. The
girls have put forth much effort
on the perfection of this music
and I am certain everyone will
enjoy it.
Here we will leave music
until next year when I will
again try and keep you up to
date on musical events. Merry
Christmas and a Happy New
Year!
In Superior, Wisconsin, the favorite
gathering spot of students at the
Superior State College is the Cafe
teria because it is a cheerful place
—full of friendly collegiate atmos
phere. And when the gang gathers
around, ice-cold Coca-Cola gets the
call. For here, as in college haunts
everywhere—Coke belongs.
Ask for it either way . . . both
trade-marks mean the same thing.
