The Belles of Saint Mary’s February 23, Off Campus Capers SCPUCMCCE SLZIE We all heard the news about exams, whether good, bad,'or indif ferent. Some celebrated the next week-end while others tried to kill their sorrows but almost everyone did something exciting. Jane Lee Parker went to a wed ding in Woodland and hasn’t stopped raving yet about that six foot four man! Eleanor Tucker, Betty Lokey, Betty Terry, Lynn Biddle, Tommie Cates, Luzette Callum, Sue Tuck Eason, Mary Helen Wilson, Ann Cutts, and Betsy Buchanan all went to the combination Mid-Winters and Engineers’ brawl out at State. Dean Hudson, who played, has made some lasting fans, especially with his Clair de Lune. Most of the girls looked pretty worn out after the three dances of the week-end. Louise Gower’s engagement to Bill Greathouse, an ensign from Eocky Mount, was announced last week. Louise was a day-student here last year. Lib Bell still keeps her thoughts on King’s Point. We have two new pins among us. Betsy Buchanan has a very impressive “jool’d” Sigma Pi pin, and Sue Tucker Eason has acquired a Pika pledge pin. Betty Terry, Mary Helen Wilson, and Bettie Kendrick went to the Theta Tau Banquet at the Woman’s Club. Sara Ingle took time off from waiting for that overseas letter to go to Carolina for the dances. She and Katherine Weaver went over and had a grand time. “Katcherly.” Well, it won’t be long ’till spring vacation. Hope everyone can keep going until then and really make some good news during the holiday. BIRTHDAYS February— 24— Betsy Carter Betty Lou Hood Mary Helen Wilson 25— Anna Lee Smith 26— “Spot” Baskerville 27— Patty Bell Virginia Smith Barnie White March— 3— Marguerite Thompson Car rie-Sue West 4— Sue Everett 5— Betty Ann Cooper Gwen Hughes Jean Sullivan (From P. 1, Col. 3) While Saint Mary’s exhibits oil, watercolors, charcoals, pencil sketch es, and temperas, Meredith presents only temperas, ink sketches, and tex tiles. A decided majority of this section of the exhibit was made up of war poster designs and still lifes in tempera. Jean Bradley’s “Au tumn Still Life” in white tempera on gray paper is one of the most striking exhibits; her ink-and-brush life sketches are also noteworthy. Peace’s exhibit, with a few excep tions, was almost entirely of char coals and pastels. The predominant charcoal landscapes of scenes around the campus are all accurate and de tailed. However, the precise pastel self-portrait by Evelyn Bynum of Peace and a pastel still life of hers are decidedly the most outstanding of Peace’s exhibits. Exams iz over . . . ain’t that jus’ wonderful—now I kin relax, or should I ? Maybe I’d better not ’cause all the seniors are getting shaky over Shakespeare and pensive over “II Penseroso.” Don’t bother to call Betty Grif anything but “Auntie” now. She just “had” a seven and a half pound nephew Sunday, and she’s not very proud. Oh—no ! That really makes a lot of aunts up on second floor Holt with Mag, Tuck, Lucy Han cock, Virginia, and now Betty. Caroline Long is now all for fly ing even if she did expect more to happen. What did she want? Wings don’t usually fall off planes any more—at least I hope not, ’cause even I’m considering asking Mr. Watson for a reservation. I was just wandering around, snooping per usual, and found out some good things to give to service men ... if I only knew some service men, but they’ll be drafting ’em my age only too soon. Anyhow, St. Christopher medals are quite the things; they’re easy to send and good luck too. Stuart explained to me that St. Christopher is the patron saint of all travelers; so, therefore, since all soldiers and sailors travel, the little charms bring them luck too. One senior had quite a hard time finding some ensign’s bars to give to “someone” when he gets commissioned in a couple of Aveeks. After she found ’em, she practically had to swear before a notary and present Avitnesses to be able to buy the things. But this Avon’t do me much good, ’cause I understand that it does take just a little time to get a commission, and they’ve gotta haA^e brains too. Why do I haA’e such brainless friends ? But at least they’re still around so I can haA-e dates occasionally, and are the sen iors enAuous ? Sallie Eobertson is noAV giving Mrs. Guess some competition Avith her mazurka lessons, or at least she must be ’cause she reallv does a prancing Aversion. I knoAV dates are fcAv and far be- tAveen for all of us noAA-adays, hut I think something must be Avrong. / hnmc I heard someone saying something about Stuart going OA’er to Cambridge for some dances Avith John Milton. Xoav that must be Avrong, ’cause hoAv could Stuart get all the Avay over to Cambridge— that’s ill England, isn’t it? IlaA^e you heard? Both Xancy Wood and Mary Holmes gaA'e re ports in Ec. class on Mexico, and both of them said that people hunted “beers” instead of “bears and deer.” You knoAv, I think that AA’ould make an aAA'fully good adi'ertisement for Schlitz and BudAA’eiser. Saints’ Sallies Knitting is the craze again this year. All the amateurs are taking lessons from the experienced few Avho haA’e been knitting their entire collections of sAveaters and socks. The undisputed champion is Mar tha Stoney who turns out XorAA'e- gian mittens and knobby-knit gloA^es Avith the greatest of ease. Wasn’t Valentine’s Day wonder ful ? Did you eA'er see such quanti ties of candy and roses and orchids? Since the census of ice-boxes and AA'indows is yet incomplete, undoubt edly some of the February 14 trib utes haA'e been missed. Barnie, Mary Glen, Margaret Xorfleet, and Maria sported orchids. Dabney and Sue Thomas Avere among the gar- denia-Avearers. Betty Lou had a gorgeous box of cut spring flowers from an ex-Macaller iioav OA^erseas. Betty. Sue Tayloe had camellias. Frankie had something but Ave can’t quite remember Avhat, but Sallie Whitaker did have red roses. Jean Iluske and Evelyn Griffin hit the jack-pot on candy A\dth two boxes each. But going back before Valentine’s Day, there Avere lots of floAvers for underclassmen around the time of the dance. Sarah Waddell really had a big time—her O.A.O., j)lus bom bardier’s Avings, phts an orchid . .' . Gimmie is still Avalking on air be cause of that certain Wake Forester . . . Sister and Vina missed the big dance but made up for it OA'er at Duke. Martha Stoney noAv wears, con tinually, a neAv pair of Avings . . . And speaking of Avings, Lucy Han cock’s star-struck look and XaA'y Avings both go with the ensign aaEo’s the cause of all the A\-eek-ends being taken iioaa'. . . . And speaking of the XaA’y, Karlyn, Christine, and Lib Clinard met some “neAv interests” Avhen they stayed out in toAvn Avith their parents. Phyllis Langdon has really been getting the phone calls lately . . . Margaret Skidmore is noAV Avriting to a Dutch Marine at Lejeune, so we hear. ... For a look at a real collection of pictures, just visit ’Thalia Alligood’s room. . . . While on second floor West Eock, liaA’e a look at Lillian’s rugs. Last AA’eek-end, Tucker took her State ensign home; both had one fine time. . . . Fancy Wood really had fun at Carolina too. But, oh, the confusion of carrying messages, etc., back and forth. We under stand Amie got just a dittle mixed up on returning something recently. Phyllis and Bobby Jean are going OA’er to the dances at Wake Forest this week-end. ’Fuff said. Too bad Euth Gee couldn’t make it . . . There AA’as quite a bit of excitement up on second floor Holt yesterday Avhen Euth got a picture of a cer tain friend and Betty Lou’s FaA-y Med student presented her Avith his V.M.I. miniature, and Fancy got a Peruvian sih-er bracelet from her pilot. Did anyone see the seniors coming in Saturday night at ten ? It looked like concert night; rumor has it that only three lucky souls had dates. Eeally, something has got to be done. (Eumor also has it that there’s a neAv class of ensigns out at State.) Someone suggested a Lonely Hearts’ Club, but, AA-ell, you knoAv—AA-e can still dream, and hope.
