The 1985-1986 dances started with the sophomore Masquerade Ball on October 18. With Halloween approaching, Meredith students dressed up in heir costumes early and joined their friends and their lates in the gym for a night of fun and surprises. November soon came and girls returned to the gym, this ime with their families, for a Parents We ekend sock hop. .ater that month, the Holiday Dance provided a good eason for students to get out their sequins and high heels ind move to the music of Kruze. February came and angels gathered with their friends for the Valentines Dance nd Dating Game. A Best Lips at Meredith contest was tlso held at the Valentine ' s Dance. Many Meredith lips i ere judged from lipstick kisses on paper, but the prize iras eventually awarded to Nan Henry. The traditional Spring Dances were held in April. The ' eshmen sophomore semiformal and the junior senior srmal were both occasions for Meredith angels to kick up leir heels before summer.

Very Important Visitors This year our campus was privileged to have many very important visitors. These guests were not only distinguished in their own field of expertise but also because they brought their talents to share with Meredith students. C. Shaw Smith, from the National Association for Campus Activities, inspired student leaders at the beginning of the fall semester with his enthusiasm and charm. Carl Rosen and Tom Deluca entertained us with their talents as well. Dr. Thomas Grissom, the pastor of Salem United Methodist Church in New York, visited campus for Black Emphasis Week as did Sandra Franks, who brought us a realistic view of Harriet Tubman in a dramatic re-creation of her. Mr. John Crystal came to campus to speak on Approaching the Job Market for Founders Day Convocation. In October, we were pleased to see Molly Marshall-Green in Wednesday worship. Dr. M. Elizabeth Tidball also visited and spoke at the convocation on October 21st. Singing incredible harmony, the Duke Pitchforks serenaded us in November. David Meece and David Moore brought their energy to campus and succeeded in spreading it to the students. The Dorm Council provided visitors from nearby fraternities for a demonstration on automobile mechanics. The year was topped off with the musical guests Speidel, Goodrich, and Lille, entertaining us at a courtyard picnic. The Very Important Visitors in 1985-86 made this year special and exciting for all Meredith women! 30 Student Life
