The Belles of Saint Mary’s May 7, 19^2 ’ Miss Brown, Many Duties As an accommodation to the stu dents the school runs a “side line” in sending out dry cleaning. This is' another of Miss Brown’s duties. The first two weeks of Aj)ril she sent out 125 garments. “Believe it or not, some girls leave it on the racks for two and sometimes three weeks after their nanuis have been posted—one of my pet hates,” she says. An average day keeps Miss Brown busy with 341 letters, 45 newspapers, 11 magazines, 35 packages, 8 tele grams, 1 specials, 2 registered letters or packages, 4 express packages, and 48 sales at the window. Estes To Present Piano Recital May 21 Miss Bessie Burkehead Brown has served as office secretary at Saint Mary’s for three years. She comes to Saint Mary’s two weeks before school starts to begin her work in the hook room. Books must he opened and put on shelves, and names must be put on mail boxes. “The opening of school just has to be lived through the best possible way,” stated Miss Brown when she began telling of the many duties which face her at that particular time. Every trunk must be checked and sent to the correct room. Every body crow’ds into her office buying chapel caps, paper, pencils, stamps. After the first rush is over, she tries to teach a little spelling on the side. Daily she finds these words on slips: chaple caps, pincles (pencils), disiple, papper, thumb taxs, pacts of paper, graft paper, Devine Comidy, TFamilet, giometry, and others. Keeping the book store is only one of Miss Brown’s jobs at Saint Mary’s. “I enjoy my work because people always like to get mail, packages, telegrams,” says Miss B r o w n. “When I fail, to put mail in boxes I have many requests ■'’or letters the next day. The girls often stop me on the campus and thank me for THE letter from HIM.” INQUIRING REPORTER In giving out mail. Miss Brown finds letters most interesting. Sta tionery and ink come in all colors, even black envelopes with white ink. !Many letters have various pictures drawn on them and some are cov ered with last minute messages. Often post cards CTit in the shape of a tombstone come with one word on the back “forgotten.” “Speaking of handling all kinds of mail,” began Miss Brown, “imag ine my surprise one Sunday morn ing when I started to put up the mail and each letter had a name, then a j)rison number—the State Prison mail bag had been sent to Saint Mary’s by mistake.” Thursdays and Fridays bring the largest mail, since weekly newspa- j)ers, w’eek-end permissions, specials, and telegrams usually arrive then. This year Miss Brown has had the ])leasure of “giving” several diamond rings and many fraternity pins. Last Easter there were over 150 boxes of flowers, but for patriotic reasons there were not as many this year. “We have even had several boxes of live chicks in the ‘stylish’ pastel shades sent on Easter,” says Miss Brown. “And once or twice a year a turtle usually arrives from Florida or California.” S. M. S. GLEE CLUB (Prom P. 1) these two selections will conclude the j)rograrn. Another composition of special note is the Hymn for fhe Air Corps. Johan Franco, a young Dutch com poser who has visited Saint Mary’s campus, wrote the music, and Mary C. I). Hamilton wrote the words. .Tohan Franco has made a special concert arrangement of this hymn for the Saint Mary’s Glee Club, and he j)lans to he j)resent at the per formance.

Although everyone was enthusi astic at first about rolling bandages, fewer peojile have been signing up to go lately. Last Tuesday less than forty girls out of two hundred-odd volunteered. Here are some answers to the question above: Mary Louise Thomson: At the last minute girls realize they aren’t willing to sacrifice pleasure for duty. Virginia Hart: I think there’s been too much to do lately. Pauline McNeny: A lot of girls haven’t been going because they don’t realize how important the work is. This is one little thing we can do! Betsy Blount: They were inter ested at first, but now the novelty has worn off. Peggy Cates: They don’t go often enough to know how nice it is. Liz Petesch: The girls aren’t going because they’re too lazy. .'\loft in solitudes of space Uphold them with Thy saving Grace, O God, ])rotect the men who fly Thro’ lonely ways beneath the sky. Amen. Mary C. D. Hamilton. Goon’s Recital Shows Excellent Technique Mary Coons, pianist, presented her certificate recital last Tuesday night in the school auditorium with her characteristic charm and grace. Her good selection of Chopin num bers and excellent technique of their performance were particularly noted. Mary opened her program Muth Beethoven’s Sonata, Opus 2, num ber /, a seldom played sonata of con cert merit. ' It was especially well ])erformed with the authority and assurance of Mary’s playing. Her second group was composed of four Cho])in selections. The Pre lude in E major was quite an im pressive opening for this well-chosen group. The Waltz in E minor im mediately became a favorite with the audience. Mary closed this group with the Etud.e in C minor, ])layed with great sweep and passion. Her last group was composed of three modern compositions by De bussy, Prokofieff, and Dohnanyi. The latter, Rhapsodie in C major, one of the finest rhapsodies since Brahms, concluded the program with brilliancy and effect.
