Small sacrifices wliicli we are ask ed to make on the home front may often seem annoying and unneces sary, but it is only through the com plete co-operation of those at home that we can attain victories on the battlefield. Perhaps the chief viola tion of war-time reipiests at Saint [Mary’s is that of placing unneces sary long-distance telephone calls. The calls of servicemen and those concerning war-time business and jiroduction arc most essential and kee]> the lines continually busy. Communication is necessary to war, and for this reason we must put aside our personal desires to make way for something more vital to the country as a whole. Let’s try to do our part to allevi ate existing conditions by making calls that are absolutely necessary and by limiting these calls to three minutes. This is the least we can do. LOOKS . . . AYD lYTKLLTGEYCE? With examinations over and new work and study before us, we arc ])rone to question and analyze a southern girl, a Saint Mary’s stu dent. We are reminded, irked by such (b'scriptions as gentle, pretty, polite, but ])oor in mind and lax in intellig nee, all of which are often accordef' lo us by geogra])hic neigh bors a”d cultural experts. Are we ' weak in our efforts, shallow in mind ? tVe are believed to be semi-intelli gent; that is. we can read and write if the occa. un calls for it, and we are very adept at muttering “j)earl one, pearl two,” and ])resto—baby blue socks. Do we so willingly ac cept our status? Do we wish to be molded info charming jioliteness without stiff gray matter and intel ligence to 1 ack it up? Saint IMary’s is a school of tradi tion, but it is also a place of learn ing. Tradition and standard arc beautiful foundations; we become in tegral and alert in our school’s tra dition. Put we do not necessarily build upon it alone. We should work, train ourselves, and balance our environment with academic study. As women we expect our future husbands to have worked hard, to have rigidly prepared them selves in college for future life. We do not want to contribute only slight knowledge, prejudice, unintelligeiice, flower-like beauty and deep, throaty notes to future society. We are sure of the value in educa tion. We are endeavoring to find its value, and to incorporate such worth into our characters and lives.
