Dawn to Dusk The Day Student on the Coker campus is a special breedkrhough outwardly not unlike dormitory stu- dents. She Cor, in some cases, heb is set apart from her on-campus sisters by a group of special charac- teristics which are all her own. the possession of a set of car keys, which for her are keys to education. occasional tardiness to Civ. lecture, not because she is lazy, but because the roads were icy. . . . frequent lunches at Boyd-Powe's, where she feeds on hot dogs and pepsi-cola Cshe has to budget her al- lowance to include food and these are cheapestb. habitation during free periods of such refuges as the library, for work, the canteen, for play, and the day student's.lounge, for a little of both. . .. a sometimes frustrating ignorance of campus go- ings-on. It is this last characteristic of the day student which the DAY STUDENT CLUB is designed to combat. It is her special organization through 'which she keeps in touch with happenings all over the campus and particularly those things which most concern her. In this way, she becomes, not a breed apart, but an inte- grated member of the Coker College community. 102 Bells on their Toes Coker's MODERN DANCE CLUB this year con- sisted of nine girls who worked especially on the com- position of dances under the able supervision of Mrs. Josephine Saunders. Pre-Classic dance forms, such as the allemande, courante, minuet and gailliard, were featured in a chapel program presented to the Coker student body by the club. In the spring the club made a two day tour giving programs at Charleston and Orangeburg high schools. On this tour they presented an educational lecture-demonstration type program along with the Pre-Classic dance forms and two nn- ished dances. The Modern Dance Club also per- formed for several Alumnae Association meetings during the school year. One of the most important functions of this club is to form the nucleus of the dancers who present the dances at the May Day fes- tivities. It is at this time that everyone can see the re- sults of long, hard hours of practice . . . results in the form of grace, poise and beautiful dances. First row: Kittrell, Eddings, Cobb, Gainey.

Coker's synchronized swim club adopted a new name this year. We are now the DOLPHIN-ETTES. All members soon agreed that the name was very ap- propriate. Under the close observation and gentle urg- ing of our sponsor, Miss Martha Washington, the club grew fins fast. Strokes and stunts were practiced and practiced until near perfection was achieved by May Day. Eight of our Dolphin-ettes performed a rigid march number for the fall high school weekend. Uncle Sam costumes swam to the martial tune Stars and Stripes Forever. A second performance of the Dolphin-ettes was given on Coke-r's annual May Day. The theme for this year's show was centered around the various sea- sons of the year. With apparent ease and grace, the girls glided through concise, synchronized numbers. Everyone agreed that the day's performance was well worth the many hours spent learning, practicing and perfecting strokes, stunts and routines. Every Monday night at 7: 15 one could see a crowd of girls heading for the pool with the traditional at- tire of raincoat and towel. During the third quarter the girls decided to meet three times a week to add extra hours of preparation for May Day. Though the club is seemingly centered around the May Day program, that is not its only purpose. Swim- ming gives grace, poise and excellent coordina- tion. All the girls will agree they have extra spunk when they swim a couple hours a week. The Dolphin-ettes also participate in swim meets, entering girls for racing, form and free style. Every girl in the Dolphin-ettes feels her importance as a member of a club whose main purpose is working together. Be- sides swimming like mermaids, the girls also fashion their own costumes, paint their own scenery and cho- reographed their own numbers. All these little drop- lets of imagination go into the big splash called the Dolphin-ettes.
