Slipper Spirit Rides Again At WC
That tiny golden shoe is
again looking for a new
wearer.
She is making
affectionate
winks and
glances at both classes
by sending out aromas of
spirit to entice them and to
make them desire her. She
enjoys all the fuss that the
classes make in competition for her--the egotist!
This spirit may have been
seen riding around a group
of redcapped girls w i th
eyes lit up and voices trying, without success, to
conceal a conversation
about their marvelous theme--a purple capped girl
who is unaware that she is
singing a beautiful entrance
song—a songpractice--the
morning sessions in the
Student Union--the class
sponsors--Dean DeColigny.
This Slipper Spirit is contagious but does not r e quire confinement in the
infirmary; in fact, it could
be conducive to good health'
if girls attend all meals,,
sleep a few hours, sing for
lung improvement, and of
course, massage the mind
with some thinking.

Slipper-the golden time. It is what we make it. What
have we made it? The questioning never ceases. Is it
worth the trouble? Has it lost its value? Are its real
purposes being overshadowed in the desire to win?
Voices cry yay and nay.
The loudest voice says that the real purposes of slipper are no longer being fulfilled. What, then must be
asked, are the real purposes?
"To bring forth our creativity," says a tiny voice.
Does it serve this purpose? The answer to this question
can be seen in the posters, the displays, and the viewing of the final results of two weeks work on Friday
and Saturday nights.
"Its purpose is to unite us,*' the tiny voice pipes up
again.
"But,'* says the loud voice, "Doesn't it draw us further apart instead? We are divided, separate, striving
only to win."
Does it unite us? The answer to this can be found in
the student union each week-day morning at about 11
o*clock, where black, white, red, and green and royal
hue stand with arms intertwined singing their slipper
song with its "Toast to the spirit of sportsmanship,
fellowship and love."
Long after the students forget who won or lost the
golden slipper on that particular Saturday night, they
will remember the sportsmanship, fellowship, and love
that was a part of this time of their lives, and they,
again, will toast the spirit of slipper, and the good that
it brought out in each of them.
"It's still win, win, win, and have your heart broken
if you lose,** says the loud voice. How can this be answered? Surely there must be some disappointment on
the part of the losing classes, but this disappointment
leaves thorn with the realization that, in a sense, everyone wins in the good that they gain during these two weeks.
•
In the editorial "A Matter of Principle**, which
appeared in the November 8 issue of the COLONNADE,
a statistical error was made. A statement in the article
read, "four thousand people die annually of lung cancer.** It should have read, instead, "forty thousand
people die annually of this disease."
Work And Love
By Carole Rowden
The other night, as I was reading The Prophet,
by Kahlil Gibran, I came across a passage which seemed
to me to be the essence of the spirit of Golden Slipper.
It read, "And all work is empty save when there is love;
And when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another . . . ." I believe that this is the
whole purpose of our Golden Slipper. Working together
through the earful planning and hard work that we put
into this annual project we can learn sportsmanship,
co-operation, love, and a wholesome spirit of friendship.
Or,if we are not careful, we can lose sight of these goals
and find ourselves lost in petty animosities, strained relationships, and a warped sense of values.
So now that this year*s Golden Slipper draws to a close,
it is our individual duty to examine ourselves and discover our own motivating forces - then see if our motivating forces - then see if our motives were worthy of
the true spirit of Golden Slipper. And if we should find
ourselves lacking in this analysis, perhaps we will have
gained a better knowledge and brighter spirit for next
_year*s Golden Slipper.

What Is Your
Opinion?

!
"What's your opinion of
Golden Slipper?"
Alice Barron - "Slipper
is fine and it is rewarding
to those who participate."
Joan Leslie-"HikeGolden Slipper because you get
to meet more people, and
make more friends. Also,
you find out you can do a
lot of things: you didn't
know you could. Active participation in the various ac-.
tivities can help you to
learn how to budget your
time too.'*
Linda Wilder - "Hve enjoyed it; I can*t really describe it though. It can
really help transfers get to
know more people. It
doesn*t seem to mattter
really who wins or loses,
but it*s the fun of being a
part of things that matters."
Patsy Rolt - "I think it
really helps to bring the
classes together; it's fun
in the long run, but it takes
up too much of my time.**
. Sara . Cathey - "I love
Golden Slipper because it
ties the school together
and makes the people feel
closer and helps them realize their hidden talents.
For those who participate,
it gives a feeling of accomplishment.*'
Marlys Masses - "One
thing about Slipper, it helps
develop good sportsmanship between classes and
individuals."
Patsy McBride - "I don't
think people are interested
enough in Slipper. It
seems as though a small
minority of people is doing
all the work. People should
talk it up more. I think
this school needs Slipper,
and personally, I love it."
Dollie Warren - "I love
it. I guess it's because it's
a lot of fun to work on it,
and it unites the classes."
Janice H i g g 1 n b o t h a m"Slipper is an experience
that can bring out the best
in everybody in many ways.
I say it CAN because not
everybody lets it bring out
the best in them."
Linda Griner - "I think
it's great. I love it."
Further application of the
value of this honor system
can be found in the letter
itself. The author would
be wise to remember that
only in a system that respected the student and her
honor would she have been
allowed to write her letter
and state her opposition. In
stating her feelings she put
in a vote for the honor system-because she felt free
enough to express her belife (or disbelief) in the
system.
I want to thank Miss Wilkinson for her letter. I saw
the Honor System tested
many times during my
years at WCG and often
questioned many phases of
it. I am glad that this is
still going on-if it stops
then honor will indeed be
gone.

Slipper
Is To Me
By Paula Arnold
The first day of Slipper
is frustration and chaos—
. not only am I overwhelmed by what must be accomplished in two weeks
but also I am scared of
the continuous routine of
classes.
The second day is somewhat less spastic and it is
at this time that I begin
to feel S l i p p e r s p i r i t there is an indescribable
feeling of love and oneness when my group learns
and sings our sportsmanship song.
The next nine days are a
mixture of many thingsnumerous song practices
with too much noise,' too
many sour notes, and an
occasional good-sounding
song—frantic prop members who work verbally,
as well as physically,
against a deadline—busy
individuals whose sold desire is to become a chair,
a horse, a truck, a dog,
etc., because that is what
has been assigned—and all
those other committees
who must produce the very
best that they can before
the day of reckoning.
The following two days are
practice and I begin to see
the results of all the work
that each committee has
done--it is as if a l a r g e
string suddenly pulls all of
the areas together--and I
am proud. I am proud of
myself--I am proud of my
group. This is the time that
I feel sorry for those who
either could not or would
not join us.
The Saturday night performance is a culmination
of all the joys and heartaches of the past two weeks
and it comes out in the
form of a bond. It is a bond
with the songleader who
looks at me and smiles as
we sing--it is a bond with
those who are next to me as
we perform—it is a special
bond with my whole g r o u p it is a bond with the opposing group in awareness of
their bondage.
Golden Slipper is two
weeks in which to feel enormous amounts of love for
those whom I might not
have time to feel love for
during the rest of the year.
It is two weeks in which to
find special friends who ,
will last a lifetime. Finally, Slipper is the means
by which I share myself
with everyone.

Christmas is almost upon

Your
MadShopper picked up sonie
Christmas spirit by visiting Eberhart's, the studio
where they're already taking photographs for Christmas gifts. It's about time
to go down there if you're
thinking
of giving any
photographs of youself to
anyone on your shopping
list. Speaking of Christmas shopping, not only does
Vincent's Men's Shop have
a nice selection of . gift
items, but they also have
a very friendly sales staff
who go out of their way
in helping you choose exactly what you want.
Don't miss seeing Harrold's display window this
week. It's jampacked with
styles in yellow the up-and
coming color this winter.
Goldstein's has a shipment of the latest rage in
sleepwear all ready for
you to buy at the price of
only $1.99. What is it?
The
Granny Gown, of
course!
Plaid wool Keds are becoming the rage this year,
too. You can buy them to
match your favorite plaid
skirts at Trapnell's Shoe
Store. Ever get tired of
the same old shoes, day
after day? Mr. McMillan
down at McMillan's Shoe
Service has the answer.
It's instant shoe coloring,
which comes in a variety
of colors, is easy to use,
and is easy to re move when
you want to change cc^jrs.
As Mr. McMillan says, you
can even paint your shoes
to match the color of your
nail polish!
In case you're planning
to have your parents, or
better, a male-type friend
down for a weekend, and
don't know where they can
stay. The Baldwin Hotel
is a very nice place, with
a couple of extra advantages: the rates are very
