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.

She’s calling the mail!” “Here.” “OH Shoot Ma, that girl gets all the mail.” “I thought that Mary would be me this time.” “Well. I think it’s time I got something, I never intend to write to that Hamilton Felder again!” “There!! I got one. hand it here quick. Here! I’m over here. OH Murder! Nothing but an ad- vertisement after all that!” “Oh. June. I’m coming to see you.” “All right, it’s nothing but cotton stockings. I’d like to throw the whole role of them in the lake.” “Yes, they think a lot of me. don't they? I haven’t heard from Piedmont since Tuesday and to- day’s Thursday.” “Well, they treat me like a red-headed step-child.” “Oh. I heard from Ralph! Hurrah! “Come on! I got a package from home.” So we all flock down the hall to drown our sorrow, or celebrate the advent of a letter, in great slices of cake or sausage from home sweet home. And when there is no package, we hang over the bar at the cow-boy drug store and consume peanuts. Junior Normal Picnic Who says that a picnic supper is no fun? The Junior Normals say that it is for they tried it one Friday night at the Girls’ Club. What is better than hot-dogs crisped over a log fire and served with hot buns and good old hot coffee? Then to your delight to nave some one bring out great plates of sandwiches, cookies, pickles, and olives; in fact most anything one could wish for. After such a bountiful supper a very interesting and instructive contest was enjoyed by every- one. This was followed by cross questions and silly answers which brought forth merry peals of laughter. The lights were then turned out and Miss Burkhalter told a very creepy ghost story which upset every body so that on the homeward journey the road seemed fairly alive with ghosts. Of course, we Junior Normals were not afraid but it really was fun pretending we were.
