CAMPUS MIRROR 3 My Brother and I Lucilf. Worford, ’47 Today a letter came for me From an army camp far overseas. The letter opened with “Dear Sis, I'm longing for the things I've missed. Although I'm here where things aren t right From reminiscence I get delight. 1 think of the things that we both did When we were only little kids. “Yes, Sis, we’ve had our ups and downs, We’ve had our laughs, our tears, our frowns. Tomorrow 1 11 be home with you, We’ll do the things we used to do. Probably things w T on’t be the same, I shall have suffered many pains, But just to be home again! I shall have that for which I’ve longed." Morehouse North Has Hallowe’en Party One of the most delightful (and surely one of the craziest) parties occurring this year was the pre-Hallowe’en party the Juniors and Seniors in Morehouse North gave on October 27th. The party (a tacky one) got off to a whiz-bang success as contestants tripped down the stairs to the reception room in cosumes of every make and description. Most of these were really ingenious. Catherine Wilson brought howls of laughter in her special ty, a baby blue dress worn over a longer beige one complete with pocketbook, gloves, and hat of the sauciest design. Charlotte Arnold was quite a scream in a very brief scarlet skirt topped with a yellow (and what a yellow) blouse, plus scads of costume jewelry (even around the ankles), high heels, and a perky parasol. Gwen Davis was very much a woman of the world in a yellow over-the- eye hat, a green dress adorned with huge blue detachable pockets, red high heeled lizard pumps, and blue socks. Clara Yates wore a bouffant starched evening skirt over blue striped shorts with a Kelly green jacket from the back of which dangled a poster. Then there was the young lady who wore blousy pantaloons, silk stockings, and tennis shoes. Another looked very much the double for the Shadow or Fu Manchu in a voluptuous cape with a jewel-studdied turhan in navy taffeta over a pleated playsuit of lime green taffeta. Prize winner was Alyce Smith who, bedecked completely in scarfs, looked quite like an oriental Miss (or better, mistake). Over her black tresses Alice had draped a bright red scarf. Numerous scarfs of various hue covered the torso, ending in a bulging side drape. To complete the costume (Continued on page 5) Queen and Attendants (Left to Right) JOHNNIE HOGG, HATTIE PARKS and MATTIWILDA DOBBS Intercollegiate Dance Long has Morehouse College been affiliated with our college both through the administrations and in social affairs. Therefore, it was like enjoying the pleas ure of meeting with old friends for many of the Spelmanites to accept an invitation to a dance held in the Morehouse “Gym” on October 20, 1945. For as long as a week before the dance, the Atlanta University Library hummed with talk of the coming event. On our campus, the girls, always alert, took on new interest in fashion magazines and such. The questions of escorts and of what to wear became the high lights of table conversations. The night proved to be one of those made to order with the sky full of moon and stars. Promptly at eight o’clock, we, the guests, arrived. The “gym” was dec orated with the banners of our two schools, fraternity plaques, and soft lights. The music was furnished by the Morehouse College band, and especially extra special were the vocal solos by William “The Voice” Bailey. At intermission time the football play ers were cheered as they came to the center of the floor. Following this each fraternity sang. Later, dormitory contro versies arose over which “frat song would take first place. There is no doubt, though, that the Morehouse Hymn was the most beautiful song of the dance. All too soon the music ended on an other of the intercollegiate events, which help to make our college life so com plete. We should like more of them. Senior President SUSIE MAYS The Senior Dance With all the hurry and flurry of these luscious autumn days, with papers due, exams pending, with the excitement of football games, October 20th was a day of very special significance to the seniors, for that w r as the day of the senior formal, the first this year, in Morehouse North and South. Y’ou can imagine something of the enthusiastic preparation as the seniors anticipated this date. Fall twigs, spicy pine, and chrysanthemums, thanks to Mr. Bullock, were decoratively ar ranged about the reception rooms, last minute details were looked after by the various committees, and even more ex citing, flouncy formals were lifted from the obscurity of moth bags. The party itself was a very pretty one. The sundry tulles, marquisettes, taffe tas, and organdies formed picturesque patterns against the bright autumn foli age. In the lobby of Morehouse North Mrs. Lyons, together with the senior housemothers, M iss Ruttkay, Mrs. Simp son, and Mrs. Hamilton, the latter pret ty in a corsage presented her by the seniors in her dormitory, received the Morehouse men and their guests for the evening. A most enjoyable evening of dancing followed, ended all too soon by the ten o’clock bell. English Club Sara Braswell, ’48 The first meeting of the English Club was held in the reception room of Bessie Strong Hall Friday, October 19. The club was organized under the sponsor ship of Mr. 1 homas, Miss Johnstone, and Miss Perkins. Miss Charlie MacNeil was elected president. Mr. Thomas gave a brief outline of some of the things the English Club would be doing this year. One of the aims of this club is to better acquaint its members with contemporary literary works. It also aims to create new interests in literature so that we may widen our horizon and be well read.
