Ann Vftialing {to someone talking loudly in the hell): "Don’t talk so loud; you’ll
wake up the Lilrary." ■
For- the first time this year Saint. I.!ary’s girls went down town to church. That was
real excitement, especially for those who wished.to show,off their "Besta" togs,
■but those of us who suffer in silence from fal3.en arches and other mental weaknesses
groaned as we thou^f of the high heels--we would have to parade in. But parade we
did,' fearing that we looked like a.cross lerween the orphanage asylum and the blind
school, yet hoping the passers-by-would, in one way or another, dispel our fears.
Of course we were impressed with Christ Church, but even more, so. by the new minister.
•Here’s hoping ve make another pilgrimage, in spite of fallen arches apd other
imped.imerte, soon.
Although the critical attitude is rare with us, we m.ust admit that we have seen
more military looking parades than the o-ne -^loh saunoered cy "the campus on
Armi-^tioe. Day. ’Vhat wo mean is that the 'co^^s lacked, a certain precision even hhbre
they got abreast of the Cump-as, but when t,h3y saw the h--3ckey team i.i .full regalia,
they almos-c executed a sq-aads-loft at double tame right before^our ®3^es. If they^^
had, thes.' probably would have learned aciixtning about hocky st.i.cks tho3^ never know
before.

Miss Lalor: ■ Cuba, on this schedule you have 36 hours in your day.
Cuba: Yes, Miss Lalor, but I get up early.
Why are seniors getting so many little "curtain lectures" these days? II they don’t
kno^/ V(G’ 11 just remind them’th-at if on the second ol June they expect I0 be alumnae,
some'intense studying, especially in -English, had better get under way.
Just a word of consolation to those girls vho sent to the Fall Germrms:
Love is like on onion—
You taste it vn.-th delight.
But afterv/ards you.wonder
Whatever made 3’-cu bite.
