Flames of Change B xcited whispers of women permeated the air as the lights went out. A flicker of light from a solitary candle glowed from hand to hand around a circle of sisters. They sang of their bond together on this speical occasion. "Who do you htink it is?' whispered one of the voices in anticiaption. "The suspense is killing me;' declared another as they continued to follow the candle closely with their eyes from one hand to the next. "It could be one of three peole;' stated another in a very matter of fact manner. Every young woman who was dating someone steady was an inevitable victim to be studied on a night like this. The ring ceremony was a tradition of several women's clubs on campus. They seemed to make an engagement as special as it ought to be. "The most exciting aprt;' said one young lady, "is the anticiaption of whose diamond it is:' Inevitably, the question had been pepped to someone, and the ring ceremony's function was to provide us with the answer of to whom. A candle with the ring on it apssed around to be viewed by the engaged one's club sisters. No one knew whose ring it was, save the fiancee. The candle normally went around the circle completely once and then began its exciting journey to the hands of the owner. On arrival, the candle was blown out, screams went up and the bride-to-be was mobbed! Because of this, I have decided to wear quite a bit of padding if I ever find the man of m:r, dreams while attending Harding. <:gjf> - Cathy Spivey Kimberly Ann Oxford - Springdale, AR. Accounting .
