THE SUN DIAL CATECHISM CLASS OF 1927 Catechism House Party % The annual Catechism house-party at Twin Oaks, the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Dorsey, occurred on the ninth, tenth and eleventh of April. The participants in this delightful occasion were twenty Montreat Normal students who had, this year, memorized the Shorter Catechism and recited it to Mrs. Dorsey, who inspires many to ac- complish this laudable feat, and afterward gives them a week-end party in her home. Those present were Sarah Harper Abernethy, Kathleen Roberts, Ruby Carter, Mary Dulaney, Elizabeth Duncan, Fannie Gilreath, Irma Henry. Cora Lee Harrison, Thelma Hazan, June Humphries. Ruth McClain, Mae McDonald, Mary McCall, Mary McDaniel, Fays Sherrill. Margaret SicelolT, Virginia Wilson. Bessie C. Wilson, Merle White, and Carl Williams.s, Elizabeth Worrall and Emilie Miller had also re- cited the Catechism to Mrs. Dorsey this year, but the former was prevented from attending by ill- ness and the latter by having recently gone to South Hadley, Mass., to continue her musical studies. The young people had much merriment in games, music, jokes, story telling and fortune tell- ing, besides the special privilege of helping in preparing and serving the bountiful and delicious meals. Dr. and Mrs. Anderson were invited to take dinner with them on Sunday, and Mr. and Mrs. Wood- ward, and Miss Jessie Stockard for supper. On Monday Dr. and Mrs. Wilson, with all students of the Montreat Normal School who had formerly recited the Shorter Catechism, were invited to dinner, making forty-six present for that event. One unique feature of the house party was its Shibboleth; each guest, upon entering the home, was asked to give an answer to some question of the Catechism. When the party broke up Monday afternoon, the girls expressed genuine appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey for such gracious hospitality, and went back to their school life, with the feeling that they had made a step upward in the journey of life.
