No Bottles, No Cokes
Six ounces of that “Pause that
refreshes” is certainly a pick-up
between these long classes and on
busy afternoons with summer just
around the corner.
Because of the bottle shortage,
the company demands that we re
turn our empty bottles. Recently
numbers of them have been seen
in the halls and rooms. This must '
stop if we wish to keep the ma
chine. It takes very little time
and energy to take back the bottle
when you are going to the ma
chine for another coke, going to
dinner, or for the mail.
Return your empty bottles, all
you “coke fiends,” and you will be
glad you did on some of the blis
tering da vs to come !
Thanks
Forewarned is forearmed ! Saint
Mary’s girls, always on the alert,
eagerly took advantage of the tuber
culosis X-ray on April 1, 2, and 3.
The X-ray machine, services of
which are under the sponsorshij)
of tlie’Xortli Carolina State Board
of Health, was stationed on Hills
boro Street in front of Saint Mary’s
campus.
All Saint Mary’s girls were re
quested to have X-rays taken during
their free jieriods on the days named.
About 250 students, boarding and
day, had X-rays taken.
Since many people die every year
of tuberculosis not discovered in
time to cure it, .the Belles adds its
grateful thanks to those who made
possible the opportunity to further
safeguard the health of Saint Mary’s
girls.
Everyone wise enough to take ad
vantage of this service is to be com
mended.
