Dick Coy And His Orchestra Play;
Decorations In Seasonal
Taste
1
1 Of outstanding interest to the college
set was the annual Christmas
ball of the Damas Club, danced in the
University gym tonight from 9:30 to
i1:3?V
Music for the Damas was furnished
by Dick Coy and his Florida Coastal
{ Hotel Orchestra from the University
of Chicago. This twelve piece orchestra
lias played for several of the large
dances given by Dartmouth, Yale and
- other northern universities. It has also
appeared on the Keith circuit in Atlantic
City and Worcester, Massachusetts.
n. Decorations for the dance were under
the direction of Mrs. Susan Guignard
Sparks, who ha? had charge of
those for the last several dances.
The Christmas theme was carried
out in the decorations. In the center
of the gym was an immense silver
star suspended from the ceiling and
hanging low over the heads of the
dancers. Radiating from the star were
long rays of yellow celophanc, sparkling
in the glow cast by the lights.
An interesting and novel feature of
the scheme was the attractive arrangement
at each of the windows. Small
> houses of varying colors were built around
each window. The windows of
the gym served as windows in' the
houses and in each window was placed
a large holly wreath. This presented
a holiday appearance outside as well
as inside the gym.
The orchestra was placed on a rostrum
in the rear of the hall. The
stand was attractively decorated in*
Christmas colors. Behind the stand
was a tall arrangement of candelabra
with yellow candles.

it's a girl! Leah Zeigler, second

license from the local airport, is a
student at this institution. She is a
sophomore and lives in Florence,
where in September she started taking
lessons.
Last year she matriculated at N. C.
Women's College but came to Carolina
"because I couldn't stand being
so far from an# airport any longer."
However, she is planning to make her
maiden flight to Greensboro some time
this month.
While at N. C. C. W. she majored
in physical education, and was a four
letter man. She is taking an A. B.
at Carolina, including in her curriculum
a course in mechanical drawing.
She is the only girl in her class. She
is planning to utilize her drawing
knowledge in case she designs airplanes.
She is a member of the Columbia

Letters 1
*
A countless number of letters have
been received by this publication addressed
to "Santa Claus, North Pole,"
but which were not delivered to the
proper address because the Scotchmen
forgot to pay the postage.
In the hope that Mr. Claus will see
this edition of The Gamecock, the letters
are printed in full below, with
slight alterations.
Troy Stokes: "Your most celebrated
beneficent Sir: I feel that the
time has come to do homage unto
those unto whom homage is due. I
feel that it is my solemn duty to exert
my most strenuous exertions to
bring pressure to bear upon the student
body in order that it recognize
you, most noble Sir, in your most
worthy object in life. . . . and before
I close, might I add that I'd appreciate
a few full ballot boxes in favor of my
candidate for May Queen? Your own
little "Stogie."
J. W. Brown: "Ain't cha got sump'in
fer me, ole Boy? It's high time
you showed me that I'm appreciated
around dis yere place. If you'll
bring me more politics, I'll orate fer
yer. Most truly yours, J. W. Brown.
P. S. Call me "Wiley."
Helen Staples: "Can't you send me
in some lousy copy for The Carolinian?
It's so hard to judge between
the fine contributions we have been
receiving. I'd also like to have a free
round trip pass on the Hobo Special
to Virginia for the holidays. Yours
in the arms of Morpheus, 4Hel.' "
Bill Broughton: "Santy, I must
have some decent clothes to wear
around the campus. I just must be
dressed properly, especially when it
rains and everyone is looking up to
me to see what the well-dressed Palmetto
Player wears. With a villainous
leer, Willie."
William Dean: "Mr. Claus, I find
it essential that I secure more copy
paper at once, as the Columbia Record
has refused to furnish me any longer.
Histrionically, Wee Willie."
Joe Norwood: "Mr. Nicholas, Esquire:
Art thou in proper mood to
receive my request for a less number
of final examinations? Thou must remember,
but tellest thou not it, how
I slept through one June two years
ago. In a masculine way, Joey. P. S.
I'm an Oxford man."
Earl Clary: "Hi! Nickl Where's
all that fan mail I'm supposed to be
getting? 'Course I don't need a fan
a la Uncle Sam, but I could use some
alumni small change. The best athlete's
foot on the campus, Earl."

J. W. Lewis: "Dear St. Nick: Have
you anything that I can politic for and
get all for myself? I need a few more
medals for my hope chest. I'm yours
until I renege on you, J. W."
Dr. Havilah Babcock: "Most omnipotent
bringer of Christmas cheer:
My one and only wish is that you
bring us enough bricks to complete
our walks. You could bring me some
more cider. Those University sots
have just about finished my supply.
By the way, could you spare me a
little mortar? I almost forgot to mention
that I could use a new hunting
jacket with which to do the dirty
part of my brick-laying project. Euphoniously,
Hava-a-lila."
John Bolt Culbertson: "Me and
my gang of politicians are anxiously
awaiting your arrival. In the name
of all that's unholy, bring us some
people that we can politic and frame
elections for. Our bank rolf needs
replenishing. Your li'l albino, Johnny."
Coach Laval: "The last batch of
football men weren't so bad, 'cept
they lost some games they shouldn't
had to. So in my socks this year put
at least another Claree, a blocker like
Miles Blount, a runner like Racket
(Rickets) Turner, another 'Skipper'
Acfeir, and another team, possibly
New Mexico this time. They might
keep in training by running down
Road Runners. Yours until we cop

Fuzz Freeman: "Hey Keedl I'm

fought nobly for my dear Alma
Mammy and she doesn't seem to appreciate

Q.I All the football boys love you so
much, but did you lose any money on
the Centre game? Too bad! I could've
told you how to bet. See you
Bud. Fuzz."
Punk Atkinson: "Dear S. Claus:
I'm such a blushing little bloom from
way down in the sticks and all I want
is some damphool laws for my frens
the legislator to play with. We go
up dere and have a lot of good times
at the expense of the people of the
