Night Life
By Jack Johnson, ©t aL
On the eve of Thanksgiving, a
iparty was held by the Evening
School Division. It was a very
enjoyable and pleasant affair,
such a lovely introduction to
Thanksgiving!
Mr. Ed White vacationed re-
cently in his wife's native home,
Louisiana.
Two of the English classes
have enjoyed period music,
one, classics and the other,
progressive jazz; both were just
as entertaining as a real con-
cert.
Mr. Albert Whiteside cele-
brated his birthday Dec. 7, 1955.
Mr. Alburnett Gafford Jr. will
become a papa in the near
future.
Mr. Robert Warner is nearing
the completion of his Air Force
Reserve O.C.S. course, resulting
in gold bars.
We regret that Mr. Charles
"Gimp" Robinson had to leave
school for personal reasons. Mr.
Robinson was an industrial
student.
Mrs. Addie Mae Embree re-
ported an enjoyable trip to the
Pullman Porters' Benefit Asso-
ciation of America, held in
Chicago, 111.
Mrs. Valerie A. Barnes has
a lovely daughter. Carmen
Diane Barnes, 6 lbs. 14 oz., born

The evening division held its
Christmas Party December 15,
1955. The day school students
were invited. Everyone had a
wonderful time!
The student participating
committee was organized with
Mr. Sylvester Green as chair-
man. The student participating
group worked with the faculty
planning committee.
Mrs. Erma Jackson has been
flashing a beautiful blue and
white '56 Ford. Hey, Erma,
were you a contestant on the
$64,000 question program?
Robert C. McVea, a member
of Mrs. Lewis' English 133 class,
was runner-up for high point
honors, Friday night in the
basketball game between
Huston-Tillotson and St. Philip's.
Bob, incidentally, plays first
string center, and we might add,
does a good job of it. We are
proud of you!
The schedule for the second
semester is out all ready. With
the new break periods being:
First Floor and North Side 2nd
Floor — 8:00 to 8:15; Second
Floor and South Side—8:15 to
8:30, and shops—7:45 to 8:00
p.m.
Should we accept Mr. Broady
and Mr. Lara's excuse as to
why they are always late after
the break? Their excuse being
"We couldn't get waited on."
Well, here's hoping the new
break schedule will retire their
old excuse, as well as relieve
our one and only cafeteria
attendant

Around the Campus
By Rita and Fran
Well, "Guys and Dolls," here
once again are Rita and Fran
reporting to you the latest
"haps" from every nook and
corner. First we must correct a
misprint in the last edition con-
cerning Isabelle McNeal and
the young fellow with the "red
and cream" '55 Buick con-
vertible; instead, it is a '55
maroon and egg shell yellow
Roadmaster convertible Buick.
Johnny Lue Harris and Ray-
mond Hubbard seemed to have
been enjoying themselves the
night of the Ball.
Leathia Amos made a hit
with everyone (especially the
boys) with her stunning dress.
We thought it was beautiful,
didn't you? Her escort was
Wilhe Spears.
Lucille Walker looked like a
little walking doll, floating
around with her escort, Paul
Harris.
Elgin Bryant has been seen
frequently with Virginia Burton,
Erma's sister.
Erma Burton and Wm. Mc-
Clure have been giving each
other that "Let's get together
real quick" look.
Vernon Nious (Bar-B-Cue)
certainly is "living it up" with

course we won't tell his secret.

Isabel McNeal
Beautiful demoiselles in
very exquisite and bouffant
ballroom gowns, dancing in the
spotlights, meeting friends and
sipping champagne and hav-
ing a very exciting evening,
adds up to this season's debu-
tantes. This gala occasion held
on December 2 at the Kelly Air
Force Base Officers' Club
marked one of the most im-
portant events in the deb's
lives.
This season's debutantes
were the Misses Nathene Wil-
son, Barbara McDonald, Ruby
Dorn, Geraldine Johnson, Mil-
dred Hill, and Isabel McNeal.
For the past two years, half of
the season's debs have been
St. Philip's students. The college
is indeed proud of Misses Dorn,
Wilson, and McNeal and it
wishes them the greatest suc-
cess!
What They Were Wearing
Each of the debutantes was
fashionably gowned. Miss Ruby
Dorn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Lonnie Dorn, was attired in a
strapless gown made with a
skirt being appliqued with
satin leaves caught up by
pearls. Ribbons made into a
feather shape adorned the
bodice and top of the skirt,
which was made very full. The
bodice had an unusual neck-
line with tiny horizontal tucks
forming the top of the fitted
bodice. She wore long, white
kid gloves with rhinestone
jewelry. Her slippers were white
pearlized kid. She carried a
bouquet of red roses, tied with
white satin ribbons. Her escort
was Elisha Sanders.

Miss Nathene Wilson,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Hezekiah Wilson, wore a strap-
less gown with rows of lace,
studded with sequins on the
bodice. The lace alternated with
rows of sequins. This effect con-
tinued into the very full skirt.
Her gloves were white, long kid
with rhinestones sprinkled on
them. She wore Vhinestone
jewelry and white satin, back-
less slippers. Her bouquet was
of red, split carnations with
loops of satin ribbon. She was
escorted by James Tapscott.
Miss Isabel Carrington Mc-
Neal, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Millard F. McNeal, wore an
original debutante creation of
white nylon tulle, made with a
shirred strapless bodice. A wide
row of fish scale irridescent
sequins followed the darts in
the bodice and extended well
into the full skirt. Numerous lay-
ers of nylon tulle formed the
foundation skirt which had a
full, deep flounce at the bottom.
The top layer consisted of petal-
shaped apron-front overskirts
ruffled on the sides and bottom.
The ruffles created a lamp
shade effect. The back interest
consisted of adjoining ruffles
forming a bustle-like arrange-
ment. She wore vinylite slippers
with rhinestone heels. Her
gloves were white, long kid,
and her jewelry consisted of
rhinestone earrings and a rhine-
stone coronet. Her bouquet was
made of deep, red roses which
were waxed and sprinkled with
stardust glitter, rearranged into
three huge roses on green
velvet leaves and a satin rib-
bon. Her escort was Arnold
Holland.

Fifteen years ago most of us
were getting along fine without
those items now called neces-
sities.
