GIRL BREAK
THIS SATURDAY
Out of This World
“Out of
theme, and
was the
when we
in
1926.°South Caro-
Carolina During
1932; The Women
'^Jederacy, 1936, with Hr.
(See P, Col g)
this world”
we were too
stroiied into the dressed-up gyni
all our finery Saturday luglit. Ihe
Juniors had done themselves proud,
and we of Saint Mary’s found our
selves pictured on the walls complete
with flowing white robes, wings, and
o-olden halos. (Angels, that is.)_ Our
gentlemen friends were not quite so
flattered when they found themselves
represented as small creatures with
horns and tails, up to the most im
proper tricks such as smoking, chas
ing girls, tilting halos, and other
things which shocked the angels to
no small degree. Blue and white
streamers with sparkling gold and
silver shining through the dim lights
made a lovely scene and the silver
stars hanging froin the cen er added
to the “out of this world” appear-
^Ye were greeted by the recenung
line, which was made up of Mildred
Chappell, Martha Conger, Mrs E.
F. Stoughton, Miss Katharine Mor
ris, Miss Frances Vann, Miss Flor
ence C. Davis, and Mrs. V illiam C.
Guess. Woody Hayes and his or
chestra furnished the music.
After an interestingly confusing
time dancing seven of our card
dances, “Stardust” heralded inter
mission. Delicious punch was serv
ed by Casper and several ethereal-
looking angels and a devil who
vaguely resembled Ruby Leigh Wil
liams, Mary Jane Casstevens, and
Sandy Spilman; then with much
fanfare the leadout was held, in
which were the following girls:
Mildred Chappell, escorted by Wil
son Allen; Spot Baskervill, escorted
by Gil Braude; Amie Watkins, es
corted by Simon Lawrence; Kathryn
Fulton, escorted by Bolling Izard;
Poncie Dawson, escorted by Hugh
Jenkins; Kate Johnson, escorted by
Emmett Paddison; Carolyn Des-
Champs, escorted by Jack Scott;
Sally Ann Elliott, escorted by Ace
Mann; Mary Pinckney, escorted by
Bill Lee; Jane Campbell, escorted
by George Stenhouse; Mary Helen
James, escorted by Harry Bates;
Mary Glen Slater, escorted by Jim
my Lamm.
Much too quickly came 12 ;00, and
the not too angelic angels had their
last dance. Nevertheless, we still
have pressed gardenias, dance cards,
slight circles under our eyes, and
beautiful memories to remind us of
a perfect Junior-Senior.
