Crowning
Is "Cool And
Happy" Event
The flurry is over, and Jeanne
Jessen can once more be Jean
ne Jessen, dorm president and
resident female. But tor a short
while she was Jeanne Jessen,
queen.
On Saturday night, December
10, amidst the pagentry and
flourish of the Christmas Dance,
she was chosen Queen of the
court. What did this mean and
how did it feel?
•‘It was cool,” reflected Jean
ne, speaking, now sweatshirt-
clad, in the parlor of Jones.
“But of course, I couIdn’| be
lieve it.”
Jim Woodall was the bearer
of the glad tidings that night,
as he called for her to join him
on stage and be crowned by Clio
president Randy Ward.
“I just stood there, and Jim
my was smiling down at me, and
I couldn’t move for a second.”
But eventually she did move,
'vand mounted the treacherous
stairs. By all accounts it was
smooth, but Jeanne confessed
that her hands were trembling.
Her escort, Kurt Squitier, stood
by as she was crowned, watch
ing proudly. Now the secret was
out, and the climax was over.
As the music began again, Kurt
led her on to the dance floor for
the Queen’s Dance, and the
rest of the court joined in to
the smooth melody.
Why was she so happy to be
chosen?

W F Students
Enjoy Trip To
Children's Home
Children ran in every direc
tion, laughing and talking and
pulling college students. Such
was the reaction that was oib-
served by Westminster Fellow
ship students on their annual
visit to the Presbyterian Chil
dren’s Home in Black Mountain.
The trip over to Black Moun
tain and the children, with their
gaiety and cheerfulness, in
creased the Christmas spirit of
the students, who began to think
of the approaching vacation.
The children were the lead
ers of the personal guided tours
provided for each of the B. C.
students. After making friends
with the children (most of whom
ranged in age from six to
twelve) and talking with them,
the college students gave a
party.
Cookies, candies, and punch
were enjoyed; then Christmas
carols were sung. The carols
rang out clear and loud as the
children and the students sang
together in true Christmas
friendship. Presents, several
games to while away leisure
time, from Westminster to the
home were then opened.
The members of the group
agreed that they probably had
a better ti»me than the children
at the Presbyterian home.
“I feel sorry for him in a
way, but he seems so happy,”
said one of the girls.
“Oh, I’m so excited! One of
my girls’ grandmother lives
in Jacksonville,” caroled Marsha
Chandler.
“Guess what mine said when
he showed me the closet; he
said, ‘This is where we kept
the white toilet tissues’,” laugh
ed Jeanie Selleck.
One little boy made every
one feel that the evening had
been enjoyed by the children
when he said to Mr. Munro,
“Will you be my daddy for the
rest of the day?”
