The Belles of Saint Mary’s December 3, 1943 Freshman Janie Oh, I’m so confused—well, take just now, for instance. I just met Etty Eedwards in the hall—now see what 1 mean? 1 was going to say Betty Edwards all the time, hut you just got me all mixed up ! How I’ve forgotten what I was goin’ to say. Well, anyhow, I’m just so excited about Thanksgiving that I really can’t think about anything else! Well, I’m glad I’m not quite the onh/ person who gets confused. Betty Barnes said the other day, “Why that doesn’t even look real!— I mean ‘very’!” (Mr. Moore, she’s so conscientious about that word!) And that reminds me that somebody said they hadn’t read about the lienaissance in Moody and Ilate-It yet! Poor thing! .Vnd, besides that, Rebecca Drane said that once when she was a little girl, she sat at the telephone a lonff time, waitin’ for the oj)erator to answer. Finally when the oj>erator said, “Humber, j)lease,” Rebecca said, “Lord, we thank Thee for what we are about to receive.” And Maria Gregory said she’d been gettin’ awfxtJ confused on her sttidies. She even said she’d prob ably have to end up gettin’ a trans fusion from a bee before she got through with that English course. AVell, anyhow Joan Ilamner and Brent Woodson have figured out a way to make Saint Mary’s life eas ier. They’ve got a Rube Goldberg invention in their room that really works! (I’d advise you to be kinda careful, though, at first!) Haney Horton and her roommate thought they’d make East Rock about as Hoozy as Holt. They start ed a fire on the radiator and toasted marshmallows one day. 1 think the Hall (’ouncil said they were awful good. ^Vnd speaking of the Hall Goun- cil, Eleanor Thomas got into a steamin’ hot bath the other night and said, “Aly, this tub is certainly smoking—guess I’ll have to report it!” I heard that Katherine, a good friend of Hickie’s, visited her in Holt the other night. Somehody told me about a week later, though, that it wasn’t a girl at all—-it was a (don’t get excited) cal that Hickie calls Katherine. (And Kitty—for short!) Somebody told me that some peo- ])le from third floor Holt had been ostracized (go look it up—1 had to) and had to spend their nights in the attic. I’ve just now found out, though, it was only that Taliaferro girl, Katherine Legg, Foxie, and Carol who went because they wanted to. I think they’re plannin’ to turn the attic into a slenderizing salon. Anyhow, I think (Carol’s gonna get a reducing machine for Christmas ’ll’ she says anybody can use it—for a ju’ice! Frenchie said that the Ue.Ues was gonna take a pole soon to put on the front page. I know the front ]>age isn’t so awful good, hut 1 "still (lon’t s(>i> why they’d put a pole on it. (Oh, r forgot—M aria Legg says you spell that poll.) AVell, anyhow, I don’t see any difference. I’ve really just yotta sto|> now (aside from bein’ close to the bottom of th(' l)age). I’m so excited still over taking a long week-end, I—oh, my goodness, I forgot I’m a fresh man and not supposed to have long week-ends! Well, somebody told me you have to take this column with a grain of aspirin anyhow! I never have been able to catch on to what they meant! Well, hope you have fun—or rather, had fun! G’bye ! SIGMA-MU Hockey is under way now. Anna Margaret Moomaw has been chosen as manager. First teams will soon be selected and the tournament ])laycd. Saint Mary’s has been in vited to compete with Meredith and Peace in a play date next week. There will be a practice every after noon except Wednesday this “week for all girls who wish to join in the competition. The new girls are taking up danc ing in their physical education classes and now that they have learned the fundamentals, tryouts will be held this Tuesday at 4:00 o’clock for admittance to Orchesis. Girls now in the dance club have already divided into groups and composed original j)atterns. They will act as judges in selecting the new members of the Dance Club. The first project of the Orchesis will be the dance dramatization of “The Juggler of Hotre Dame.” The recital will be given some time after Christmas. All girls who have had two years progression in Saint Mary’s physi cal education are now allowed to make up their gym classes at their own discretion according to the fol lowing regulations : two hours activ ity must be reported each week (Wednesday j).m. is not one of the hours). Rej)orts should be on file in the physical education office be fore Monday, and must state the name, activities, and j)lay perform ed. Accejjtable activities are ."swim ming, tennis, bowling, riding, golf, skating. Dance Club (Orchesis), posture class, j)hysical education class or any organized sport. Walk- ing, ping-pong, etc., are not accept able. Get your swimming done. Who minds a little ice? ' PARADE—REST! “Hut, two, three, four—column left, march; to the left flank— march! — to the right flank — march!" Thus, we see Saint Mary’s students drilling and giving com mands every Wednesday afternoon. Aj)j)roximately one hundred and thirty girls are j)articipating in this thrilling and stimulating activity which is two years old at Saint Mary’s. In the past two weeks, three scpiads of new students have been added to the Company, and they are now learning the . funda mentals of drilling. The old stu dents have i)rogressed rai)idly, and a girl has been chosen from each stpiad to train for _Comj)any com mander, Company sergeants, platoon sergeants, and squad leaders. They are Betsy Thompson, Betsy Blount, Charlotte Crawford, Lih Shaw, Jean Bi’ooks, Ruth Moore, Pinkie Butler, Pat.sy Rodgers, Frances Rylander, Foxie Clarke, Kathei'ine L(>gg, and Bet.sy Long. I’he backbone of the Tiiilitary training here at Saint Mary’s is the short, neat, very efficient Lt. Arthur Kaltenhorn. He hails from Ohio, and was professor of jjublic sj>eak- ing at Ohio State Hniversity before he joined the armed forces. He is decidedly military, assuringthe suc cess of the Company. When asked about his opinion of Saint iMary’s girls’ drilling, he stated that he was very much impressed with the prog ress of the ferns. Ilis plans for the future of the Company are vague, but he hopes to have the girls (Trill in mass formation. The Clothes Line Do you have a cold ? Are you suffering from chills ? Are you allergic to temperature below 60 de grees ? If so, the solution is an eleven-lettered word beginning with F. Now do you know? . . . That’s right—flannelette ! If you shiver and shake from 11 to 7 the prescrip tion for you is a good dose of gay flannelette pajamas or a flannelette nightshirt. Emphasis is on Warmth. Recently Life magazine made a sur vey and discovered that men dress much more warmly than women. Ho wonder you are cold! Wool dresses this year are tailored and simple. The most noticeable change is the necklines. Hecklines are round and deep cut. Very few long evening dresses appear. In stead, short, off-the-shoulder dinner dresses take their place. Shoes have sturdier heels. Mademoiselle shows “3 Act Hats.” By addition or sub traction of bows, veils and detach able pieces of fur, one hat serves for a variety of occasions. Have you ever thought how inter national your wardrobe is? What would you do without Scotch wools, Irish lace and linen, and furs from the northlands? You have to do without Ja])anese silk. The war also causes a shortage of elastic and nylon. The Government tells you how easily you may cause an infla tion. Therefore, herewith a plea for more sensible buying—even if it costs you a little deflation of your feminine vanity. Wouldn’t that be better than an inflation of your gov ernment ? HINTS ON HITS Favorites—campus and otherwise. My Heart Tells Me: A dream tune record(‘d by Glen Gray and his Casa Loma Orchestra. My Shining Hour, on the underside, is a good ’un—Decca. J’aper Doll: Although it was written twenty-one years ago, it’s first on the Hit Parade. How ’bout that ? The iMills Brothers have the only recording on Decca. On the reverse side is I’ll He Around—a grand blues song. Pistol Packin' Mama: Recorded by A1 Dexter, is still holding its own—Okeh. Jio.salita is on the other side of this hot platter. Later 'Tonight: Kay Armen does a 'grand job of vocalizing on this delightful melody. Puddle I'p a Jyittle ('loser is on the rever.se side— I )eeca. Hard-IIcarted llgnnah: A new novelty tune recorded by Ray Mc Kinley. Kverything about “the vani]) of Savannah” seems to be “on the ball.” It is made by Capitol. Hoogie Woogie: Tommy Dorsey has a modern masterpiece in this re cording. Weary Hlues on the re verse side is good, too—Victor. People Will Say We're in Lore: Hy Sinatra, naturally—Columbia.
