The Grapevine -Issue 9 April 29, 1937 On My Honor• • • well, girls, the fourth week of th« trial of the Honqr System is almost over, and now is the time for all of us to come to the aid of future Saint Mary’s girls and decide whether we will continue with the new systan. Before cur month of pro bation is up, let us'each stop and think: Am I doing my part? The suscess of the honor system rests upon each of us, not only as a group, but as individuals. And before we say it is not working, we sh(iuld try even harder to do our part toward making it work. It is a fine thing, and we can make it a Saint Mary’s institution if we will. It «an be done. Will you do your part? We are counting on you. Around the Sciiool The time has arrived for dehydrating the skin, in other words, sun-bathing. But please tate it slowly, fierr not only will it make one ill but also the rush for the porch on third floor Smedes may re sult in a permanent disbanding of the privilege altogether. Again—Please re member to be quiet, to kepp the porch clean, and to be considerate of the roa»s adjoining the porch. The campus is beautiful add many of the students and teachers are taking ad vantage of it; for if one is not careful she will stumble over a class with the students gathered around the teacher lik« the little birds learning to fly, Wednesday morning after assf^mbly the Seniors voted for their superlatives. But we will all have to wait patiently until the annual appears to satisfy our curiosity. The Grapavine wishes to take this oppor'’'unity to express its sincere hopes to Florence Boxley for a speedy recovery and this time, a permanent one, Friday afternoon amid the excitement over the Junio^^-Senior, we were enter tained by the famous Beechnut Circus, The Beechnut ladies distributed sanples of "beechies”, which helped to keep us from biting our fingernails before our big moment that night. Some of us were lucky enough to see it at the little store, and thus have a double treat for it came right up to our front door for a few minutes before study hall. Laden with ”BePchies” we were shooed in at four a’''lock after awful threats from Mr, Tuck er, who we are sure, made front page head lines with his and Mr. Kloman’s piciure with the Beechnut ladies. Saturday ri^.t the more dramatically inclined among ue made another in our series of trips to Chapel Hill to see a f?roup of plays given by the Carolina Play- makers. Ably chaperoned by Miss Davis, Wb all os joyed the plays very much, es pecially the first one. Hew about it, Toctsie? Lab Hi ghl lilts— Visitors to the 2nd floor of the Art Building were pleasantly surprised on Thursday, April 16, to find instead of bottles of banana oil and pans of deceased frogs, a lovely display of wild flowers in the biology lab. Miss Lalor’a lab students were hostesses and showed the visitors the pungent little treasures. Everyone enjoyed the wild flower show, even the next day when they had to name the 39 species. The following week Miss Lai or took her lab classes down town to the libra ry to look at a volume of the lovely Audubon plates. The set of four volumes is very valuable, being one of the few in existence, and the lab classes were thankful to Miss Lalor for the oppor tunity of seeingtifchem.

We are sincerely grateful to Helen Noell, who was chairman of the decorating committee. Miss Harris, and Mr. Tucker for their valuable assistance, and all the students, not only Juniors, who helped decorate thegym, for the boys re alized that it was intended to be a "vine yard" and not a garden of wisteria. We also extend our thanks to members of the faculty who helped make the evening more enjoyable and to the pages. The receiving line were Mrs. Cruik- shank, Miss Davis, Miss Sutton, Miss Harris, Virginia Worth, Sally Fell, Janet Lawrence, Mr. h-ioman, Mr. Guess, rand Mr. Moore. Jimmie Poyner and his Collegians set the tempo Sr the evening, quicken ing the beat oftr.any hearts and dancing feet. Delicious punch was served in the dining room. After the music ceased at twelve o"*clock, a rather thorough des truction of the decorations ensued and then the moment for gccdBpyfis arrived. From the expressions on the faces the following morning one could gather that everyone had a sv«ell time.
