Member Pissociated GoUe6iale Press N. C. Collegiate Press Association Thanksgiving Thanksgiving, November 27, 1947, and Saint Mary’s girls, after marking off the days on home-made notebook paper calen dars, leave for home. But, in the last excitement of going, will we consider Iioaa^ exceptionally fortu nate Ave are to be able to go home ? Home—our houses, brimming Avith family and Thanksgiving love and food. Our friends, and, if Ave stop long enough to Avonder, the mere existence of the towns in which we live, in spite of war. Thank fulness for peace and for home. Will we remember these in our Thanksgiving prayers ? And what more ivill November 27 mean to ns? Perhaps, first, thankfulness for being—for the fact that Ave are here; thankful ness for love, friendship, honor, truth, and prayer; and lastly, the indefinable feeling of gratefulness to God for all our possessions, material and otherAA'ise, as Ave find what this day actually means. Thanksgiving, hoAvever, not only grants us the opportunity to give our own thanks to God, hut also to give of ourselves to others . . . charity, kindness, love—per sonified in bright baskets and in freely and meaningfully given offerings. For in the simple act of giving to others, we become more aware and grateful for what we ourselves have. great diplomats plead for unity among nations in European coun tries ; leaders promote unity among their people; in large in dustrial conflicts, all is_ useless AAdthout unity; in states, in cities, in small toAvns, the symbol of progress is alAvays Unity. Schools are no exception. They too must he closely knit to gain what they desire; they must learn to think and act as one to pro gress; they must have solidarity in order to better their status. Some jieoiile fail to see the ne cessity of sticking together, and these thoughtless individuals Aveaken the solidarity of any stu dent body. They do not stop to consider Avhat the cpiestion is at hand and decide accordingly Avhat to do; but, on the other hand, thej^ disagree immediately or .just drift along on the general trend of thought. Tliey are being ex tremely inconsiderate to the other . students of the school by not tak ing seriously matters Avhich are important to eA'eryone else. Let us all strive for a unified student goAmrnment, for Avhen we achieAm tliis, Ave Avill prove to our selves and others that Ave are ma ture in our actions, that Ave intend to progress, and that Ave are seek ing a Strong student government and an invincible honor system. « Dear Editor; BELLES » BETTY LOKEY Home—Kaleigh. Age—19. Hair ’ll’ eyes—broAvn ’ii’ blue. Ambition—to keep day students’ room clean. Pet hate—homeAvork. Spends spare time—keeping up with soap operas. xVhvays heard—“What did you get out of the English assignment?” Ahvays seen—Avasting time in Ade laide’s room. Hobby—sleeping. Favorite food—steak! Favorite song—“Among My Souve nirs !” Favorite perfume—Bond Street. Looking fonvard to—end of my five- year visit at Saint Mary’s. Odd likes—unattainable men. Pet passion—long, lanky Texans. Worst fault—ahvays late. Wild about—you don’t knOAV—do During this Thanksgiving, Avill Ave have an individual, reverent sense of thankfulness for all that Ave liaAm and can give to others, and, finally, in returning, experi ence a quiet, .joyful thankfulness for our school? At a recent meeting of the freshman class the question of AAdiether to petition to double-date AAdthout an upperclassman arose. We, the underclassmen of Saint Mary’s petition this, not Avith a selfish attitude, but Avith consider ation of the Avhole student body in mind. It is not that Ave do not Avant to date Avith upperclassmen hut that it is such an inconven ience for both. In the first place, Avhat upper classman Avants to be responsible for an underclassman? Second, there is so little age difference that Ave feel that Ave are quite capable of taking care of our selves. Third, after promising to date Avith an underclassman, sometimes seniors and juniors leaAm her in the lurch. They do not realize the embarrassing posi tion in AAdiich that places the un derclassman Avhen she must ex plain to her date and the “blind date.” There are other reasons, but most of the underclassmen jdace these first. We, above all, Avant Saint Mary’s to trust us and Ave promise to act according to the standards set by the girls of Saint MarA^’s. Yours truly, Susannah Dell. Unity Unity—to Avhieh men constant ly refer as an ansAver to their problems. In the Avorld today men strive for unity as a means to peace. In the U. N. Council ya’?
