Snow and rnin cUd not cut “any
ic(j” ivilli the Wake Forest Seniors
when it enme to acting host to the
Meredith Seniors. For about eight
o’clock Saturday night, the “Wake.
Boys” came “floating” in and were
wclcomcd at the door by If ell Coffej',
Eula Ho]gos, and Eloise Grounwood
who directed them to the Astro Hall.
The Hall was attraetivfily decorated
in "Wake Forest colors, gold and
black, and npou entering every boy
was imnifidiatDly made more wel
come by the class of ’2ij.
The most interesting amusement
was the “conversational dates” di-j
reeled by Charlotte (Jurtis. In this!
way the boys were able to meet all'
the girls and were also given a few
seconds to debate on given SHhject8.i
Sonic of the subjecits as announced
by Chai’lotte were;
“Is June tlic first too early for
men to put on straw hats?”
“Should a girl use eosnictics?”
“Do gentlemen pi'cfer blondes and
why?”
“Tr a girl with dimples 'better
looking than a girl without them?”
And, “Shoxild women study law
und nu-ii domestic .wionce?”
The reniaindor of the evening was
spent by dating of iinothoi’ nature
during which delicious salad and ico
courses and punches were served.
• Already our “bed-tinic hour” had
passed, so Mildred Allen, President
of Meredith Class of ’2S, in behalf
of her classnmtes, bid our hosts
goodnight; nssui'od thorn that the
evojiing had been greatly enjoyed.

Wednesday evening, November 31,
was Meredith night at the Art Exhibit
of paintings and sculptures given in
tile Sir Walter Hotel. At seven-thirty
an overfilled bus—a quite common
sight at Meredith left with a party
of girls, art students and others, who
were chaperoned by Misses Ida Potcat
and Mary Tillery. After the nsnnl
bumps, changing of cars, and bumps
again, they arrived, a little the worse
for wear and Just bit subdued in
spirits. Upon entering Uio Virginia
Dare ball room they found thoniselves
in a perfect sea of pictures; large ones,
small ones, bright and sunny ones,
paintings with a vagueness of atmos
phere, and some so natural that one
wanted to touch them to see If they
were real. It was quite overwhelming
and one qnickly realized why this col
lection was said lo he made up of
some of the very finest examples of
American Art,
After finding scats it was quite ab
sorbing to chooso individuals out of
the incoming crowd and imagine that
he or she was on> of the artists.
Later, however, a little to tiieir dls-
appointment, they found that there
were no women artists present, but at
least it was consoling to sec them
represented by so many pictures. But

ed of the near approach of ChristnuiB
more than over before when Prof.
Heck told ns about tlie dolls that we
were to begin dressing. Then on Tues
day morning we found our package
room llcodcd with these dolls of all
kinds and sizes waiting for us to eome
and claim them as our own. Now
these children are In the hands of the
girls to be dressed as attractively as
possible, We expect to have all thoir
dresses made ami ready to take them
dressed up to Sunday school with us
the Sunday before wo go home for
the holidays. At that time each girl
will be given a name of some “little
girl" In or near her coinmuulty to
whom she will take her doll. Hereto
fore we have dressed dolls for the or
phanage and hospitals, hut this time
we want to take them in person to
some child who will not get a doll
from "Santa.” In this way we hope
to take a little hnppinoss and the real
Christmas spirit lo homes which are
not so fortunate. Wo eujoy working
with these dolls, and most ol' all we
are happy that we can make someone
else happy and glad at this Christmas
time.
