Cedric Foster Speaks
In S. M. S. Auditorium
“German War Is On the Wane,
But Pacific War Will Be Long
and Bitter, Touching All”
“If you find the person you really
care for and love, don’t wait, marry
him,” was the message that Cedric
Foster, news commentator, had for
Saint Mary’s this morning.
Continuing his discussion of early
marriages, Mr. Foster said that one
of the most reassuring things in his
life wa.s that he and his twenty-two
y(‘jir old (liiiiglitcr, filiiilcy, who
works on the Dallas Morning News,
could share things together.
Mr. Foster was “glad to be back
in the South.” Ilis ancestors for
eleven generations had been deeply
rooted in the soil of New England,
and he felt that Southerners knew
the same strong bond with their sec
tion of the country. “That is the
strongest bond in a nation, when one
can love one’s own section and still
work shoulder to shoulder.”
"It will be fl long and bitter war,
of that we may be certain . . .” Mr.
Foster started in on a brief comment
on the war, “and will leave none of
us untouched, particularly in the
Pacific. The German TTar is on
the wane.” lie said that it would
possibly take years to defeat the
Japs, as every ounce of supplies had
to be transported to the fighting

cers Will Be Elected Next Week
Kathryn Fulton of Roanoke, Vir
ginia, was elected yesterday to the
highest student office in the school
for next year. She will succeed
Kate Broadfoot as President of the
student body in June. Already this
year Kathryn has shown exceptional
hijidcrship, citiKMiflhiji, ami vocBa-

It s a big responsibility, but I’m

Glee Club Presents “Stabat
EDITORIAL: Disregard Of Student Rules Mater” In Chapel
We have all noticed the general
laxiiess in the observation of school
rules and regulations that has been
becoming more and more obvious the
past few months. Few of us seem
to realize that a successful student
gov-ernment is not based on the capa
ble leaders we do have, but is based
on the co-operation of the entire
Student Body, including all of those
who think they can “get by” with
skipping Chapel and meals. The
incident of last Sunday when nine
teen girls were caught skipping
church, many hiding in closets and
undoubtedly many more not found
at all, is an example of the deplor
able disregard for student regula
tions. By disobeying rules each
girl endangers the very existence of
student government.
Mrs. Ernest Cruikshank com
mented upon the fact that among
those who skipped church were girls
who hold important student govern
ment offices, and that these students
are too immature to carry on such
duties.
The girls who were found cutting
Chapel services will receive two
weeks campus, while those who were
not caught and who have been vio
lating continually other rules will
not suffer now.
The Ilanclhbok states that Student
Government as we know it now was
only inaugurated in 1937. At that
time “this adoption of complete stu
dent government based on the Honor
Code was motivated by the students’
belief that self-government guided
by rigid honesty is the most intelli
gent and pleasant method of admin
istering a well ordered society . . .”
Therefore we should surely be able
to see that by continually doing the
petty and not-so-petty things that
are against student rules, we are
neither regarding honor nor honesty.
Commenting on Student Govern
ment, Kate Broadfoot, President of
the Student Body, says “The success
of our Honor System depends entire
ly on the wholehearted co-operation
of every individual; without this
co-operation it cannot function ef
fectively. We feel that every girl is
capable of assuming the responsi
bility of upholding this system, and
we hope that she will prove willing
to do so and justify the trust placed
in her.”
