Photo by Jim North Mother and daughter are guest and hostess respectively as Mary Ann Lambour serves her mother at the Mother-Daughter Tea. Mother-Daughter Tea Sunday afternoon, October 18, the Foods class played hostess to the girls of Sister Marianne’s sewing classes and their mothers. A steady stream of mothers and daughters flowed into the conference lab of the sewing room from two until four o’clock. The table setting provided the conversation piece for the afternoon. Fall leaves and brightly colored chrysanthemums were centered between two lighted candles on a table cloth of blue net. The mothers toured the foods and clothing lab where projects com- pleted by the first and second year sewing classes were on display. The tea provided an opportunity for the girls, their mothers, and the teachers to “get acquainted. Mary Ann Lamboiu LIKELY LIT — (Continued from page 21) writing. It also tells the complicated maneuvers Mary Kelly had to go through to perform a simple movement. For example: To get into a car she had to be lifted on a cot through the window of the car. Then she had to lie at an angle with her head out of the window due to the length of the cot. I think that everyone who reads this book is bound to be influenced by Mary Ellen Kelly’s kindness, gentleness, and eagerness. Pat Wright (freshman! Miegians Seen and Heard at STC Mary Ann Thesing and Pat Murphy, seniors, and Kathy Rode, junior, attended the Future Teach- ers branch of the State Teachers’ Convention on Friday, November 6, at Shawnee Mission East High. The girls took advantage of this occasion to get a realistic look at teaching, its many opportunities, challenging problems, and services to humanity. Guest speakers from Manhattan and Emporia, Kansas, and from Kansas City, Missouri made fav- orable appraisals of the organiza- tion’s work and provoked many new avenues of thought on suc- cessful teaching. Barbara Bremser took an active part in the division on Red Cross activities at the convention. In acting as a panel member, Barb told of her work at the University of Kansas Medical Center this summer.

Only 31 more shopping days until Christmas! Have you started thinking about what to give your family and friends? Each gift must be just right. Nothing is too good for those we love. But are we forgetting the most important gift to the One we love most? Christmas is the commem- oration of the Birth of Christ, the commemoration of the moment when our Redemption began. At that moment God gave His only Divine Son to the world to live and die so that we might gain heaven. What manner of gift can we give to this God-man who laid down His life for us? It must be some- thing special and will take some time to prepare. The Church has set aside Advent as a time of prep- aration for Christmas. During this time we should be forming the gift of our sanctified soul for Christ through prayer, the sacra- ments, and sacrifices. This is no easy task we have set for ourselves. The sacrifices we must make are much more than just giving up candy or movies. We must sacrifice our selfish will- fulness by doing God’s will for us. The most wonderful part of this gift is the benefits we reap from it. It is really we who are the re- cipients and Christ the Giver.

BARB WIRE by Barb Brcmser A rag, a bone, a hank of hair— and while we’re on the subject, have yon ever been so completely frustrated with your particular hank of hair that you were on the verge of eliminating that worry with some well-timed snips of your mom’s pinking shears? Stop! Don’t do it! Even dry, fly-away, frizzy, hard-to-manage hair is better than the unique effect you can manage with a pinking shears. Just count to ten, then look again. It’s never as bad as you imagine. A can of spray net, some bobby pins, a ribbon, and a lot of patience can really work miracles. Assuming that you’ve heard all the confusing, contradictory fol-de- rol floating around today, I’ll just give you something else to confuse you further: Keep it simple! Some girls go on the theory “the more the mer- rier” when they curl their hair, but loose waves and soft curls play up a pretty face so much better than tight frizzy ringlets. (Besides, it cuts hairsetting time in half, and if you get to bed late as I do, the extra half- hour really counts.) Remember, keep it clean, simple, and neat; then forget it and have a ball! BUT WITH THE DAWN REJOICING by Mary Ellen Kelly But With the Dawn Rejoicing is an autobiography of a woman who spent her life as an invalid. But this did not keep her from making a success of her life. This book tells of her joys and disappointments. It describes the places in the United States, Canada, and Europe which she visited for treatments and material for her (Continued on page 22) LIKELY LIT by Jeanne Beyer UNCLE TOM’S CABIN By Harriet Beecher Stowe Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a book with a lively narrative style and some excellent character portray- als. The author, Harriet Beecher Stowe, wished to express the ter- rible tragedy of slavery. She did this by showing in her book the conflict between those who hated slavery, those who thrived on it, and the Negro slaves who were caught between the two groups. Tom, the main character of this novel, was mistreated and misused because he was a slave. However, he never lost his faith in God or in man. Through Tom’s struggles, other characters are introduced into the plot who further develop this theme of antislavery. When this book was published it aroused feelings of antagonism among the Southern slave owners. Yet it is a true picture of American slavery.

Norman Chaffee Hobby Hobnob By Pat Venneman Architectural Drawing My combined hobby of architectural drawing and designing plus model railroading gives me many hours of pleasure and entertainment as well as many opportunities to develop useful skills. For the past three or four years I have been interested in house plans. I’ve made model homes which I myself de- signed. Right now I am working on a house plan as part of my Industrial Arts Club project. To date I’ve drawn about twenty-five house plans. I think this will help me greatly in my proposed profession architecture. Railroading may sound like something for little children but it is not. In fact, more grownups have model railroading as a hobby than do children. This is the third most popular hobby in the United States. Model railroading is not just buying little engines and cars; a good layout has everything to exact scale- buildings, people, mountains, bridges, etc. I have built quite a number of little buildings for the towns on my layout, some of which are: Will Hammonds General Store, Aunt Polly’s Curio Shop, and Doc Holliday’s Office. Altogether, I have about twenty buildings, water towers, etc. Within a year, I hope to make my first steam en- gine. I already have three trains for my layout. I think this hobby is quite fascinating. John Koetting (Freshman) 23
