Being an editor isn ' t all work, as Lee Davis found out when he took the beauties to Tupelo to be photographed. June Haver and Fred MacMurray got off the plane in Memphis to find themselves among fans, cameras, and a slight thunderstorm. Our beauties feel right at home in the rain while presenting the Rebel flag to Mr. and Mrs. MaeMurray.

June Haver certainly isn ' t having to act skeptical with her husband surrounded by so much Southern charm. Five anxious beauties try to eat a salad during their impatient wait for the arrival of the MacMurrays. One day in February two cars containing ten students left the campus. Their destination was the Memphis Airport and their purpose was to have the five Ole Miss beauties ranked by Fred Murray, who with his wife, June Haver, was in Memphis for the premiere of his national picture, Gun for a Coward. After anxiously waiting, trying to digest lunch, and standing in the rain, the group met the Murrays and accompanied them to the Gayoso Hotel. There the beauties were entertained and secretly ranked by Mr. MacMurray. That trip was an unexpected pleasure for our beauties and a first for the OLE Miss.

The Pikes opened the Greek formal season with a new Dream Girl; formal attire, and low-down music. Calm or frantic Pikes and dates jammed the house for one big good time. The campus social life of an Ole Miss Student essentially revolves around formals, date suppers, and parties of all types. With the first few months of school come rush parties, fraternity parties before football games, open houses, and ASB dances. Throughout the en- tire year, weekend parties arc held at fraternity houses, the Community House, and the ley Gas Lodge. Christmas brings parties for little children as well as big children, and an intense round of date suppers. With spring and Sardis weather, Greek formals are ushered in and finally end another social season with a swirl of good times.
