PHONE 2-6781 CORSAGES A SPECIALTY ive YW Party Big Success The Y.W.C.A. at the University of South Carolina, is noted on this campus for its many varied activi ties, and unusual entertainments. Perhaps the most unusual, was its suggestion of a Pajama Party for the freshman girls in Wade Hamp ton dormitory. The Freshman girls, attired as if preparing for bed, congregated in the lobby of Wade Hampton, where the guidance of the cabinet of the "Y". Singing, eating, and a general good time pcrvailed. The party lasted from 9:00 'till 11:00. Permis sion was granted and the doors of Wade llampton were locked against all, hapless males. It was with unconcealed amaze ment that the freshmen beheld the dignified officers of the "Y", pa jana-clad, standing in line to re ceive them. The "Y" cabinet stood, similarly clad, behind the many re freshment tables. There were ap ples, sandwiches, popcorn, and punch. The singing soon started, with everyone sitting cross-legged on the floor. Then a small skit was pre sented by the "Y", which the fresh men received enthusiastically. The freshmen were then called upon to perform also, which they did read ilv. It was the "Y's" time to be as tonished. In that group were tap dancers. pianist (both "boogie" and swing). an accordianist, singers, one who played a miniature mouth or gan, one inch long, a clever mimick, and finally a girl w ho sang in Hawiian. The entertainment was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Mrs. Pender thanked the "Y" for coming over to entertain her fresh men girls. The question arose as to who should thank who.
