Opportunity, Come In
Take all the swift advantage of
the hours.—Shakespeare.
Life is offering us a new chal
lenge. For the first time many of
us are dependent only on our
selves. We are being given an
opportunity to develop. What we
develop into will be our own
doing.
Xo one is going to stand over
us and try to make us work. Nor
is anyone going to try to turn us
into model Saint Mary’s girls. We
will become exactly what we
choose.
Getting an education is hard
work. It requires effort in class
as well as OUT of class. Educa
tion isn’t something we learn in
a classroom. It is the something
that enables us to adapt ourselves
to circumstances, to get along
with people, and to know what to
do, and when to do it.
So let’s make the most of what
has been offered us at Saint
Mary’s and absorb all the knowl
edge we can. Let us accept the
challenge we have received and
“take all the swift advantage of
the hours.”
Saint Mary’s—Home
H'^me is where the heart is, some
say . . . but others emphatically
declare, no sir, it’s the place where
you bang your hat. In either ease
we cannot escape the fact that
Saint Mary’s is our home nine-
twelfths of the year. Seventy-five
per cent of the year we spend at
Saint Mary’s, and of that seventy-
five per cent, approximately sev
enty per cent is spent in our
rooms.
Most of us have a sort of senti
mental feeling about the four
walls within which we study
European History, translate Span
ish, or puzzle over geometry.
Why, this place is home!
We love to have company . . .
“come see MY room, 317 Smedes.”
For people to feel at home in our

room is a compliment. But enter
ing the room, ivhat should we
see . . . tacks all over the walls,
dirty handprints, scuffed walls,
lipstick smears, carved initials,
and everything imaginable!
Imagine “Suzie loves Johnnie”
carved on the dining room table
at home, lipstick smears on the
living room mirror, or handprints
on the mantle? Mother would
have fits! And so would we.
This summer our home. Saint
IMary’s, has been painted. AVe
have neivly sanded floors, washed
windows, repaired screens, and
replaced window panes. The

of money on cleaning alone. What
ivith the spic and span walls and
floors, our rooms can be as com
fortable and attractive as we
choose to make them. For US the

Did You Ever See
A Spoon Walking?
Do spoons walk, or did some
one take a big bite of that ivon-
derful ice cream and let the spoon
slip down too? I don’t think so,
but two spoons walked out of the
Old Girl-New Girl party.
For a foolish second the mys
tery ivas solved. Perhaps some
one who was serving had thrown
paper plate, napkin, spoon and
all into the big boxes of trash.
In evening dresses, plumes, and
bangle bracelets, the girls began
the search.
One spoon was found, but the
other two have escaped, either
with or without the help of hu
man beings. So, if you see two
Saint Alary’s spoons walking
around campus or socializing on
the hall, please put them on their
right track back to the dining
room.
