M The Belles of Saint Mary’s September 28, The Belles OF SAINT MARY’S Subscription Mtmber Plssodated Golle6iale Press BETTEE STUDENT GOVEENMENT Student government, interpreted in its intended sense is not the easiest form of school government, and it is a great responsibility. It is, how ever, the most desirable and satisfac tory form, incorporating duty and privilege in its high ideals. This year at Saint Mary’s we are trying to make ours a better student government. On each hall in school there ;are:to be two seniors in charge of the general functioning of these halls. Theirs is a serious responsi bility accompanied by hard work. Whereas in former years the burden of hall supervision has inevitably fallen upon the faculty on the halls, this year it is hoped hall manage ment will be satisfactorily achieved by seniors. Living on the halls, mixing with the girls and being a part of them, these seniors are well able to understand and cope with hall problems. So far this new plan has been very satisfactory to all concerned. Stu dent and faculty co-operation has been invaluable in its earnestness and sincerity. But this is only the beginning, ilany months are ahead of us. New problems will arise, and novelty will wear off. We don’t want to be let down in these coming months. The seniors on the halls are not sufficient unto themselves. Your best will be needed. You are a Saint Mary’s girl now, an integral i>art of her life. Let her spirit shine around you. STEAIGHT STUFF This is not just for new girls. It concerns all of us here at Saint Mary’s. When we hear a bell that tells us that lights must be out, or that a meal is ready, or that it is time for chapel, let’s pay attention to that hell. Let’s be prompt in our actions and immediately ‘do what that hell signifies. Let’s don’t bo slow along the way, because whether it is apparent to us or not, we cause some people a great deal of trouble when we are late, trouble that may cause loss of time which is very valuable to them. It pays to he where we are expected irhen we are « EEILES » KATHRYN FULTON Published every two weeks during school year by the student body of Saint Mary’s School.

Let’s respect it by being on time for whatever we do here at school. It is one of the best habits we can acquire. WE DEMAND, AND WE OFFEE We, the girls who come away to college for the first time this year, come with a sense of expectancy and demand; expectancy of a year of new experiences, new friends, and new ideas; demand for a college which will supply these things in a complete and satisfying way. We come to college for an educa tion, an education that is not only a discipline of mind hut also of char acter. This character which we are in the process of forming needs above all, guidance—guidance from teach ers, guidance from our friends, and guidance from our God. Our school must give us all of these. Our fac ulty must be wise, tolerant, under standing. Our friends must he clean, sincere, strong. Our God must he brought close to us by worship and instruction. These things we de mand, and these things a school must have. If our school gives us this, what have we to offer? We offer our selves, our minds, open and eager, our talent, our friendship, our love, and our reverence. The exchange is fair, the process engaging, and the result, the kind of ])er.son we want to he. PONCIE DAWSON Home—Eoanoke, Virginia. Age—18. Ambition—to teach kindergarten.

Her size is no indication of her ability; her grades, her good times, and her athletic accomplish ments prove that. expected, not only at Saint Mary’s, but wherever we may happen to be. When we do this we are not thinking just of ourselves, but of the others around us. It is not fair for one of ,us to make another lose even a few minutes of important time. Time is not something we invented for use at Saint Mary’s and Saint Mary’s only. It is old. It is due honor and consideration. SUSAN ASHBURN Home—Virginia Beach, Virginia. Age—18.

We were quite proud of our “celebrities”—only they were singular! They were all imi tated, very realistically, by Joan Ilessler. Last on our program was a tear- jerking song. The Ole Apple Tree in the Orchard, sung by Jean Strick land, in a most life-like hill-billy costume. We could have listened all night, and were quite reluctant to leave; that is, until it was announced that there would he refreshments in the study hall.
