Miss Hague compared life in an old dormitory to that of the Penn State coed’s living in Simmons. She described the ultra-modern design and accommodations found there. By winning a position on the College Board, she is now eligible to one of the guest editorships given by the magazine to 20 girls who best complete three addi tional assignments The first assignments concerns a 1000 word criticism of an August or October issue of Mademoiselle and an article, “What Do I Con sider the Typical College Ward robe” The girls selected as guest edi tors go to New York in June and edit the fall College edition of Mademoiselle Miss Hague, a member of Alpha Chi Omega sorority, is minoring in Journalism and plans to grad uate in January Odds, Ends Plus Originality Create Yuletide Decorations Odds and ends coupled with originality and ingenuity afford the necessary elements for cre ating fanciful and inexpensive Christmas decorations, as prov en by students in home related arts at the College. Some scraps of wood, a few tin cans, the tinfoil wrapping salvaged from your Thanksgiv ing turkey, and the perpetually growing evergreens are the only necessary materials required for these ornate trimmings. Amount Limitless “There’s no limit to the num ber of Christmas decorations that can be made from odds and ends with a little originality," says Amy G. Gardner, professor of home economics, “and the fun of creating the decorations tives them appeal that other holiday ornaments lack."

Chimes, national junior women’s honorary, is pushing the idea by selling bright blue door stops with a white “Hi” painted on them. , The object of this project is to revive the “Hello” spirit on the campus and particularly in Sim mons Hall. The girls made 150 door stops which have practical ly all been sold. They are now taking orders for additional stops. Any persons interested, ,they don’t have to live in Simmons, should contact a Chimes member. Dean Entertains At Informal Tea An informal tea and reception was held for Dean and Mrs. George L.

The tea, sponsored by the fac ulty and personnel of the School of Chemistry and Physics, was attended by about 175 members of the School. pine are stuck into the potato, covering it completely until a featherly green ball results. The potato serves an additional pur pose as it helps to prolong the life of the greens. By means of a bright red ribbon and some red or green tree balls, a final effect may be added to the de sign. It is suggested that the young, romantic-minded coed might conveniently conceal a sprig of mistletoe among the greens to trap ir -vary visitors. - olato Rates High The potato remains in the limelight by serving as the base for a raised design for printing one's own Christmas wrapping paper. The potato is cut in half and the raised design is carved into its flat surface. Using paint, the design may be imprinted on different colored tissue paper. An evergreen bough may be attached to the wall of a small apartment where there is no room for a tree. Decorations can be made from tincans, cut (watch your Angers!) and shaped into various forms, bits of wood, nieces of cotton, and even bot tle caps that have been painted various colors. The tinfoil wrap ping from your Thanksgiving turkey makes a silvery bow to attach to the base of the bough. Della Robbia fruit, molded from paper mache, makes a colorful design that may be used effec tively. Another modernistic Christ mas tree may be created from a dead branch. By painting the branch an icy green, mounting it in an appropriate base, such as a decorated block of wood, md trimming it with bits of rib bon or other small ornaments, you may emerge with a better than natural replica. 129 SOUTH FRAZIER ST.
