Member F^socioted Golle6iale Press Goodbye To The Belles: Although the school year will last for another six weeks, the 1944-45 Belles year ends now and the 1945-46 one begins. This is our last issue; the staff will remain intact, but Sally Ann Elliott will take over the job of editor for the final two issues in May. The writing staff deserves thanks —thanks for covering events and aspects of school, life and checking and rechecking endless details; and thanks for interpreting important world events for the student body, both in print and on the news bulle tin board. We thank Phyllis Cowdery, espe cially, for checking everything and catching all the errors in the galleys; and all the typists who have pound ed impossible holograph into double spaced copy. We thank the circulation staff for delivering the Belles, mailing them out, and selling war stamps; par ticularly Betsy for managing it all and Anna Margaret and Lillian Love for putting over the Sixth War Loan Drive at Saint Mary’s. Our thanks go to Mr. Moore and other faculty members who have helped the Jiellesj and to the print ers who have tolerated us and always met our schedules. Thanks, and good-bye. Good luck, Sally Ann, it’s fun. San Francisco Dream Two days ago representatives of the allied and united nations of the world began a meeting in San Fran cisco to attempt to determine world j)olicies in the establishment and maintenance of peace. Mow for the first time since December 1, 1941, we see definitely that this world fracas will end soon. Russian troops are fighting down TInter den Linden, center of nearly encircled Berlin; American forces advance nearer and nearer to IMunieh; Allied Armies have at last reached the Po River in Italy; momentarily American and Russian forces are expected to meet at Torgau in central Germany; in fantrymen have split Jap forces on Alindanao and continue to push Ja])s off of Luzon; and the fighting continues victoriously on Okinawa. We have seen the end of the begin ning and the beginning of the end, we now see the first glimpse of final victory and the beginning of the peace. We enter a decisive and im portant era in world history, and we enter it without the leader who has guided us to the threshold of victory and peace. We must not look baek to the past, we must—we will—^go forward cher ishing the memory of those who have fallen for our cause, profiting by their experiences, and honoring their hopes and ideals. Mow, in ■ .San Franeisco, the biggest monu ment and memorial to all those who have died in this war, and in the war before, is being built—this is a monument of lasting and just peaee for those who live and for those who shall have not died in vain. A PHILOSOPHY A few more days and our lives will be one gay party after another. Sitting in the sun . . . dating Marine Lieutenants . . . seeing shows and the general la .. de.. da. . . . And who are we fooling? “Jim, darling, after SMS is out I will write every day, and my let ters will be full and momentous epistles ... all my lazy summer days will melt into scribbles for you.” And you, Jane, what are your plans? “Oh, I’m going to take nurses’ aide, do some Red Cross knitting, and learn to cook! How’s that for a vacation program?” A general and most ordinary feel ing is about to run rampant on the campus. Sure, we are going home. But this is no time to sit around and dream about summer fun. Fill these last weeks with solid work and preparation for exams . . . don’t scream because exams are practically here. Dig in and work hard now. Lay your j)lans for summer now, o.k. But let’s make sure they come true. Are you allergic to good sense? SCHOOL PROBLEM Recently, many students have been comj)laining that sums of money have been taken from their rooms. Everything possible is done to at tempt to recover this money, hut it is very difficult to trace and it is impossible to accuse a girl of steal ing. In some cases servants may be responsible, but this is somewhat unlikely although most of the serv ants that we now have are not of the caliber we would like. In other cases, girls have merely misplaced the money themselves and have been unable to find it. There is only one sure method of cutting down the number of “thefts” of money on the various halls, and that is for girls to make full use of the student bank and keep only neg ligible amounts of cash in their rooms. If every girl would see that she kept most of her money in the bank, which is oj)en at convenient times for everybody, all of this dis turbance about the (lisaj)pearance of moiiev could be eliminated. « BELLES » MARTHA ALLSTON I’ARKER Home—Georgetown, S.
