Page Four Favorite Fashions It’s college party time, you know And to the Union we shall go Tg spend a wonderful evening with our boaus. Now what shall I wear? I must look my best, my very, very best, for HE will escort me there. I’ll enter looking lovely and luminous in . . . Curacoa frappe'—the most ro mantic dress in decades. A bronze rhinisstone-iced dress with a big skirt unfolded from a smooth strapless bodice. Benai—for inspiration and a de light to all—a gold dress of a cot ton lace bodice, and taffeta skirt, with a very fitting cumberbund waist above its billowing skirt. Anisette—for that magnificent | touch—a moonlight nylon chiffon, j touched with gold shoulder straps and banded at the waist and just j below the bust with gold also. Cre'me de menthe frappe'—a dress that stirs up the beautiful past in fine fashion. A wrapped- v-neck bodice, caught at the waist by a beautiful rose that empha sizes its slightly draped skirt and side drape. Absinthe green—a lovely wat ery green in a cloud of silk chiffon, just for this particular evening. It’s high-waisted and also rose- pinned. Cre'rre de cacao — this cocoa Duchess cotton and silk chiffon is yours for dancing all night, its soft flowing draped neckline, the waist line gently dropping to a front V, creating a smooth torso line. Aquavit—of white acetate bro cade lace, with a new refreshing neckline . . high criss-cross front which becomes a low back scoop, topping a flaring skirt. Gold cre'me de menthe—a dress that is the very glass of fashion, a smooth, bell-shaped glass-tilted skirt to show a fetching view of ankle and foot before dropping to the floor in the back. The waist is lifted high and accented by a large brooch. The bodice, a one-shoulder strap-strapless. The Stinger—a dress especially for dancing—fashioned in acetate taffeta swirling from bare bodice to pouf skirt, drawn in at the hem. And to top them all, a grand- style evening coat. A long evening coat to glamorize your long or short evening dresses. A high waist-lifted, floor-deep sweeping in curacao. It is lined in white sat in and interlined in lamb’s wool. Just the thing to keep you warm. Well, have you made up your mind? Which one will it be? Hurry and choose; you haven’t long! The day is just around the corner— February 8, 1957!! —Shirley Sinkler THE BENNETT BANNER FEBRUARY, 1957 Pen & Camera Contest Are you an amateur writer or shutterbug???

Watch the bulletin boards for the announcements of the next games and don’t forget ’to support your team. We look forward to seeing you there. Students View School Exhibit Many students of Bennett were able to view the unique exhibition entitled “School Room Progress U. S. A.” a few days ago a’l’ the Southern railroad station. The senior education students were especially interested in this experience as well as numerous other students. The exhibition was sponsored in cooperation with 28 leading American corporations. The exhibi'i featured the evolu tion of school progress through realistic replica as of schools from the first frontier schools through our modern present day facilities. The directors of the exhibition stated three basic purposes in presenting i'l. These were “to en courage an ever-increasing in terest on the part of young Ameri cans in teaching as a profession; to pay tribute to the con'tribution of the American teacher, and to increase interest in our schools and school facilities.” Each person who had the op portunity to view the exhibit gained something from her ex perience. In the future we should all attempt to become more cogni zant of all opporVunities for our intellectual enlightment and at tempt to take advantage of other such interesting experiences as “Schoolroom Progress U. S. A.” Dr. Armstrong Delivers Sermon “The Giants of God” was the subject of the sermon delivered by Dr. Clinton C. Armstrong Sun day afternoon at Bennett College vesper service marking the close of the first semester. Dr. Armstrong, pastor of Browning Chapel Methodist Church here and an instructor in religion and philosophy at the col lege, reminded his listeners that they, like the children of Israel, en route to the FYomised Land, face the choice of being either courageous or cowardly. “Those persons,” he declared, “who show courage in the face of crisis, who demonstrate a faith that moves forward, and who have groundisd their strength in the Al mighty — they are the giants of God.” “Success is the art of making mistakes when no one is looking.” —Frances Rodman Humorous Notes The other day I over heard, an upperclassman talking to a group of her friends: “I’ve scheduled all morning classes this semester so when I sleep till 12:30 I’ll be through for the day. I must say ihat every body ain’t hardly able. A freshman, apparently quite satisfijsd with the results of her examina'tion scores remarked to a classmate, “When I first came here I was dumb, but now I am forging ahead.” Her classmate cat- ily remarked: “My, I hope it fits!” And speaking of exams, you should have been in on the session where the profs were comparing ■he witty answers they received. This was on a freshman literature exam paper: “Tragedy, of course, has the inevitable sad ending; the lover loses the girl or dies in 'the attempt.” This brilliant observation was recorded on another exam paper: “Men are queer animals. They have known that one horse can run faster than another, and yet they squander millions of dollars demonstrated over and over each year to see that simple fact again.” One religion paper yielded this novel thought: “There’s no telling how long Methuselah might have lived if his appendix and tonsils had been removed.” The origina tor of that idea must be a pre-med student. The chemistry prof asked for an example of wasted energy. His most unusual answer was “Telling a hair-raising story to a bald- headed man.” A sociology student probably came up with one of Vhe most important advantages of marriage. On her paper she wrote, “If it wasn’t for marriage, hus bands and wives would have to fight with strangers.” With student teaching days be hind, a group of the teachers-to- be got together in the dorm for a gab session. One told of hearing two of her li’ttle charges boasting- about father as usual. The first one boasted that his father had G e o r g.e Washington’s watch “That’s nothing,” the second said, “my father has Adam’s apple.” During music hour, a first grader was singing in a loud clear voice a newly learned song-God Bless America, land that I love: stand beside her, and guide her thru the nigh'i with the light from a bulb.” So much for exams and teach ing and so forth. For most coeds, life seems to be a marry chase. I’m not an eavesdropper or the like but this couple just happened to talk loud enough for me to hear. —He, “Would you call for help if I tried to kiss you?” She—“Not unless you tried to get away.” It appears as if another young lady was chasing none other than her roommate’s man. She — “Oh dear, how can I ever face my roommate after I get home and say you kissed me?” He—“But I didn’t kiss you.” She—“I know, I know—but you’re going to, aren’t you?” This marry chase can lead to a little trouble and embarrasement sometimes. Dorm matron—^“Young lady, I won’t have you standing outside with that young man of yours.” Girl—“But, I only stayed for a second.” Matron—“Non sense. I distinctly heard the third, fourth, and fifth.” Girls, here’s a thought that’s sure to give you all the confidence and security you need. “What profiteth a man to snicker at a woman’s hat, if he be outwitted by the brains thereunder? Until the Next Issue— Let’s Laugh! —Your Humor Editor The Calce of Life Life, like all other things, must have ingredients to make it sound, rich, and desirable. The recipe of life is like that of a good cake; it must be worked on constantly for generations to obtain the height of satisfaction. The recipe for the cake of life makes the beautiful of your dreams — good and sweet and richly flavored — a life of pride and soul-stirring delight. The ingredients are love, pa tience, faith, kindness, sympathy, honesty, joy, sorrow graciousness, generosity common sense, and humor. Sift an ample amount of love and faith into the bowl of your heart, making sure that all lumps of hatreds, prejudices, and jea lousies are not allowed to remain in the mixture. Blend them thoroughly. Then add honesty and patience and fold well. Measure out the joy and sorrow and beat them in vigorously until they are distributed equally through the cake batter. Slice and chop well the graciousness and generosity and drain it from all the stinginess and selfishness. Continue to beat vigorously. Turn the batter into two strong healthy hands with which have been lined on the bottoms with work. Sprinkle over the top of the batter plenty of good common sense and well- selected humor. Bake in a mod erate body until well lined. —Shirley Sinkler Slocitings and Soclcs Stockings to everyone who attend ed the lyceum program featuring Virgil Fox.
