THE TWIG
October 2, 1959
Athletic Association News
Volleyball season has gotten well
underway, and plans are being
made for a class tournament which
is to begin soon. There is already
keen competition between the
classes especially between the
sophomores and the seniors. Bach
team welcomes support at practice
games as well as tournament games
so come out and support your class
either as a player or as a spectator.
Ball Boy Purchased
Good news comes from the physi
cal education department for ten
nis players. The department has re
cently purchased a ball boy to be
placed at the tennis courts. This
machine will toss balls across the
net — thus making an excellent
partner for stroke practice. Maybe
B.B. will develop some pro players
for us.
Allens Welcome Baby Boy
Another addition to the physi
cal education family is an Allen boy
by the name of Ross. He tosses
baby food now, but at the rate he
is growing he’ll soon be tossing foot
balls. Next time you sec Mrs. Allen
stop her and ask about Ross —
she just might happen to have a
picture handy to show you.
Coming soon, C.H.B.
Anne Britton.

WELCOME VISITORS!
Buying at Burton's
Autumn is here; school spirit
is at its peak; and iootball iever
is in the air. , When 1 anticipate
those festive occasions, my mind
immediately wanders to what
Would be the most appropriate
outfit for the event. I decided
that for the first big game of
the year I would have to have
a new fall outfit; so my next
stop was Burton’s. My eye was
caught by a stylish brown shirt
waist winter cotton of the popu*
lar paisley print with the new
rope stretch belt. This is the
perfect outfit for these Saturday
afternoon games while the
weather is in its Indian Sum
mer stage. To go with the
brown cotton, I found in Bur
ton’s shoe deparlmenl truffile
beige lizagator heels with a
large matching handbag.
When the weather gets cooler,
I know that one would delight
in having the lightweight wool
jersey, brown and blue stri{^
sheath with roU*up sleeves,
belled below its slightly bloused
back, to wear while cheering
Carolina or State on to victory.
The sporty lilile gad-abouts with
the “Queen Anne” heels would
be a nice added attraction.
Later on, I knew that I would
long for more than one of
those dyed-to-match skirt and
sweater outfits. I was amazed
to see that these co-ordinate
ranged from tones of gray and
dull brown to 'bright red—with
a choice of straight or pleated
skirts. I was especially struck
by one of the dress-maker type
fuzzy sweaters with four patch
pockets, to go with a skirt of
dull green. That green is very
collegiate this year, and I have
seen girls wearing it all over
the campus.
Burton’s has a wide variety
of exciting separates that some
of the Meredith girls who have
frequented the store have been
raving about. I saw what they
meant when 1 spotted the ivy
leape rust, tan, tweed, and
plaid skirts to complement a
beautiful moss green crew-neck
displayed on the counter.
I was all dressed for the
game, but I began to wonder
what I would wear to the fra
ternity party at Carolina after
wards; for one just must keep
up with those co*eds at U.N.C.
I wandered over to the sports
wear and was amazed at the
rack after rack of bermudas
and slim slacks. I took a closer
look and suddenly spotted
about the sharpest bermuda out
fit which I have seen this sea
son. Brass-colored pinwheel
corduroy bermudas with match
ing, loose-fitling weskit, worn
with one of the blending paisley
print blouses would be just the
ultimate for that after-the-game
fraternity party.
As usual, I left Burton’s that
day with visions of fun and
gaiety in sharp-looking clothes
for this fall season and with
visions of how pleased I’d fee!
to make my appearance at the
first big game in my outfit—
bought at Burton’s.
