DOERNBECHER TEA Even the Beatles Were There Introducing the Christmas season, the annual Doernbecher Tea brightened the holidays with the spirit of giving. Culrninating months of preparation, the December tea provided girls with a chance to make the dreams of less fortunate children come true. This year's dolls were no exception to the standards of originality long established for the traditional event. They ranged from shaggy Beatles to a prim Mary Poppins, and from Little Black Sambo and his tiger to a T-shirted teddy bear. Winning the class competition for the loveliest display was the sophomore presentation, That Dreams May Come True. After the event, the dolls were given to children in various hospitals so that they might have a happier Christmas. A social highlight of the year, the tea was an opportunity for girls and their guests to meet and chat while enjoying coffee, punch, and decorative Christmas cookies. Songs by the Madrigal Singers added an extra sparkle to the program.
