THE MICHIGAN DAILY Christmas Cards Should Mirror Unique Personality Of Sender I By SHIRLEY RASKEY Football season and the Thanksgiv- ing turkey are now events of the past. But, so as not to dampen our spirits, the future promises still great- er events in the forthcoming Holiday Season. In preparation for this oc- casion there are such ordeals as Christmas shopping, and-choosing a greeting card that will surpass those of your friends. Upon entering a gift shop do not become confused by the 10,000 cards which confront you. Just exclude the five designs you have sent in pre- ceding years, and that will only leave 9,995 from which to choose. It is claimed to be a simple task-by those who never send them. Can Be Different Regardless of this large selection, one poor girl was heard to wail that she and her friend in California have sent the same card for the last two years, even though the former pur- chased her design right here In dear old AA. But don't become discour- aged. It iS posible to obtain some- thing different. Above all, don't give vent to the impulse tonclose your eyes, point your finger, and say, "I'll take one hundred of these." A greeting card should be a replica of the sender's personality. For ex- ample, what would better suit the sweetly simple than white angels floating across a dark blue back- ground? For the smooth sophisticate, the choice of modernly-designed deers upon a plain background would prove an able solution. For the coy and cunning their .personality would be reflected ih one of the numerous ad- aptations of charming puppies and New under-arm Cream Deodorants 1 safely Stops Perspiration 1.

Blockprints have been constanly gaining popularity until this year they are a leading design. Quaint little figures, dressed in festive colors. dancing across fields, sliding down hills, or decorating trees form gay and seasonal prints. Something new in the way of greet- ing cards was introduced this season. Replacing the usual gay colors, this card is a combination of black and white. Many beautiful scenic views done in black on white may be found in this group. Design Own Card If one is artistically inclined, a clever idea would be to design your own card. A block is then made from this design which can be used for printing almost indefinitely. Those who wish to be a bit more personal should indulge in notepaper designed especially for the Holiday Season. Holly ,wreaths, poinsettas, or simply the words "Merry Christmas" are printed neatly across the top of the sheet. Here is an opportunity for hyouto display that cunning wit you have.laid claim to for years-no more inhibitions. Pack up your courage and ingen- uity and enter the nearest gift shop determined to do your all for the good old social reputation. ToiA Kleptomaniac ,The following open letter to the kleptomaniac who couldn't resist walking off with two decks of Union Opera Cards from the League social director's office is printed by request-of Miss Ethyl McCormick: A Merry Christmas to you! Hav- ing received the cards from the union, I am, of course, obliged td return or sell them all. Since you have neatly taken care of two packs, I have no alternative but to pull the dollar from my own pocket-and this I do in true Christmas spirit hoping you will get many hours of enjoyment from my gift. ' I only hope the campus will come around to see the design that so fascinated you -and r lieve me of a few more packs-but after this in the or- thodox manner, please.

'Holiday Hop' To.Be Qiven Novel Twist PACI Committee Will Bring People From Same Locality Together By Matched Dances Not only is PACI offering to start you off in the right way on your vacation with its "Holiday Hop," to be given from 3:30 pm. to 5:30 p.m. tomorrow, in the League Ballroom, it also has a good idea for making that vacation profitable in the dating way-if you feel that things like this should be profitable in some way. They're putting more than just a superficial meaning on the sub-title of the dance, "Get a Start On Your Vacation"; the dance committee is really taking its slogan to heart and seeing that persons from the same home town meet each other. And as Hugh Ayres, '43, chairman, says, "There you are -with a future date prospect for vacation, if she looks hlke a good number!" Miller To Play Herb Miller's music will be a fea- ture of the dance, which is given un- der the joint auspices of Panhellenic, Assembly, Congress, and Interfra- ternity, consolidated under the organ- izational name of PACI. Representa- tives from each of the four campus groups make up the dance committee. Anna Jean Williams, '42, anf Char- lotte Thompson, '43, are Panhellenic's delegates; Assembly is represented by.Emily Root, '42A, and Miriam Dal- by, '44; representatives of Congress are William Buffington, '44E, and Robert Sforzini, '43E; and the Inter- fraternity delegates are Ayres and Bill Robinson, '43. Groups Invited Special groups, to be announced. later, have been invited to attend the affair, and hostesses will be appointed to introduce any of the dancers who request introductions. Miss Williams will appoint the host- esses for Panhellenic, Miss Root for Assembly, while Buffington will choose hosts for Congress and Robin- son for Interfraternity. - Be a'Goodfellow Dec. 15 - Union Opera Patrons List / Is Announced Patron's, committee for Mimes' production, "Full House" has been announced.

WAAnt i CS By SHAPPY "Athletics as usual" are the order of the day and the slogan of the times. from now on. Sports may not interest you right now, but they may help to keep one's equilibrium . . . doing everything as normally as possible. t * First in the spotlight this week is the "Swimgala," sponsored by WAA and Matt Mann's championship swimmers and divers, which will be at 8 p.m. Friday at the Sports Building . . . (formerly the IM). There'll be ex- citement galore and fun galore for everyone (Japs notwithstanding), for the water ballet troupe coming up from Chicago will cut water capers to South American tunes. The gals will wear sarongs, a la Lamour, and 'tis rumored they'll look fetching. In a floating exhibition there'll be twenty women also coming from Chicago, while our own coeds will take part in a relay race. Among those who are doing their bit for the WAA pool which will reap gains from this event . .. we hope! ... will be Gloria Stark, Hazel Muller, Adele Robins, Agnes Day, Srbil Graham, Jeanne Paty, Evelyn Spamer, Phoebe Scott and Pat Dillenbeck. Matt's super-special team will do high and low board diving, participate in free style, breast stroke and back stroke races, while three clowns will promenade to add to the merriment. Gather 'round and get your tickets from any member of the WAA board, and get in the swim! Ann Arbor Independentites have an opportunity to form their basket- ball team if they will only call Dorine Larmee by Friday at the latest. One team has already been formed, and those interested are urged to come out .. Keeping fit is an important aid to doing your lost in the ,emergency. Betty Sachs has reported that the Hobby Lobby meeting last week was most successful and that a Leather and Metal Works club is being organized. An instructor will come in to help the girls in their work, and others are making Christmas cards. Ticket Is Won Enginee It took an engineer to look at a bunch of pennies and cooly size them up as worth $4.00. Over 200 people tried to guess how much money was in the "Jingle Jives" exhibit at the Sophomore Cabaret, and their answers ranged from one to fifty dol- lars. C. Freeman Alexander. '43E, rang the bell with 400 pennies, and 99 of them will be presented to him in the form of a ticket to the independent women's informal Christmas dance, to be held from 9 p.m. to I a.m. Friday in the League ballroom. For those who missed. including Lowell E. Tommpkins, '43, who slipped by one penny, there is still an oppor- tunity to purchase tickets at the League desk. Herb Miller's band will play for the dance in a Santa disguise, and they will work up a medley of Christmas songs. A special arrangement of "Jin- gle Bells" with words by Donna Baisch, '42, has been prepared also. Decorations will include evergreens, bellsi snow, red and white frills and furbellows, and strings of colored lights; all will go to represent a Christmas scene. .. . r t I rte' ^' I This Christmas should be gayer, brighter, and sweeter than ever be- fore.
