From this November 21, 1954 edition, titled “November Girls” some quotes:

“The prep school boys, home for Thanksgiving, are on hand for the stag line, thus making glad the November debs, who were worried over dancing partner shortage.”

“The bride-to-be. Mr. and Mrs. Soandso announce the engagement of their daughter Ernadine to Mr. Elihu Swat, etc. Miss Ernadine is a graduate of Miss Gussie Childress’ school for sub-wayward young ladies, and a provisional Junior League member.”
