Present Leads To
Future And-—?
While everyone is concerned
with present affairs as they affect
the present, we might relieve
some anxiety by peri spring the
next few years and visualizing
life for women as we think it
will be,
One of the greatest changes will
bte that of greater acceptibility of
women in both new and old posi
tions. This tendency has been
marked in past years and has be
come more of a reality with each
generation.
The present war has speeded
this development. One hundred yy , , -
years ago, women were active in 110 : | oyfl IP
3 occupations; now, out of 300
possible vocations, women are ab
sent from 4. Perhaps after OrtATIC
this war, women will'be accepted V/ UCUo
into these. "*■

Clever Wrappings
Make The. Gift
When Christmas shopping is
finished, students will probably
wrack their brains for a way to
wrap that extra-special gift.
A domino effect can be obtain
ed by wrapping a rectangular box
in black paper, sticking on white
circles, and tying in the middle
with white ribbon.
If it’s a gift of beauty, colored
lips, teyes, hands, and ears cut
from a magazine and pasted on
the paper mlake an intriguing
package.
Gifts within gifts may include
a pair of colorful dangling beads
encased in a tricky jewel box, a
.painted wooden sewing box filled
with assorted chocolates, a com
pact set of dice, cards and chips
in a circular leatherette case, or a
handsome pipe fitted into a twbed
tobacco pouch.
Dance To Portray
Christmas Spirit
“A Christmas Service'in D&hce”
will be presented by the concert
dance group, directed by Miss
Jessie Cameron, assistant profes
sor of physical education, in the

scheduled for faculty and towns
people iatt 7:45 p. m.
The dance, divided into three
parts, will begin with a proclama
tion of the splendor of God and a

perience of faith ‘ through ritual
festivals and group feeling as a
necessary means for spirituality.
Patterns for God’s grace will
form the third part, showing the
search for and trust in God and
prayers of repentence and for the
forsaken.
A choral reading with Bible quo?
tations, chosen by Agnes .E. High
smith, PSCA associate secretary,
and Jean E. Hershberger ’43 will
