Christmas at SMS News and Views of Sig's and Mas
"Twas the night before Cluustmas
and all through the school
A'ot a girl was (luiet—violating
that ride.
The stockings were hung on tlm
chair with great care
For tomorrow at noon the.v’d no
longer be there!
Their clothes were all nestled all
snug in the bag,
While visions of home were ring d
with a fag.
Roommate in her night-shirt, and
I was in mine
We had .just left the room for a
time divine.
And out in the hall there rose such
a clatter
Girls sjirang from the’r feather
beds to join in the chatter.
Huddling together in the room
dimly lit
We opened the cookie box and
cokes eipially split.
And what to our wondering eyes
should appear
Put a crack of the door and the
words, “Who’s here?”
And a familiar face so clearly
seen
Was at once recognized to be our
Dean.
Quick like a bunny into the room
she came.
Glanced around and called by
name:
“Now ilaryl Xow Jo! .Vow Flee
and Isabel I
Gome Kitty, come ilartha and
you, too, Nell!”
From under the bed and in the
closet
The girls’ eyes with iliss Jones’
met.
But as excitement before the
nineteenth comes
Our friend voluntarily put away
the guns.
A smile of her mouth and a nod
of her head
Soon assured ns to know we had
nothing to dread.
So inside the room meat was tnr-
nished by Pards
And into the morning we sat
]ilaying cards.
Talk and more of our new ap
parels.
Then merrily singing Christmas
carols.
And with hapjiy thoughts and
new expectations
\Ve decided to sleep a wink be
fore vacations.
So away each one flew as a gay
little deer
Shouting, “ilerry Christmas to all
and a Happy New Year.”
How does Saint :Mary's ex-
jiect her students to remain
law-abiding citizens when in a
recent sermon the minister
stated, “We must keep alive the
faculty.” This is certainly ])iit-
ting ideas into people’s heads.
The faculty need not worry,
however, because the teachers
at Saint Mary’s are exceptions
to the rule that all teachers ai'e
demons and should be treated
as such. However, if there
should be any daggers thrown
on the campus, just remember
the ]K)wer
rreat.

Yes, sir, THE MU’S ARE STILL
DEFEATING 'ITIE SIGMA’S. Or
so far this year, the Mn athletic
society is leading, having ivon
both hockey and swimming tour
naments.

In the final hockey game, De
cember 1, the Jill’s rallied forth
with a 5-1 victory over the hard-
fighting Sigma’s, after they had
already won the first title 6-2 the
week before.
High scorer was Mu, Lucinda
Edwards, sending the ball over
the Sigma goal 4 times. Truslow
and Powers came next with ;i
goals apiece; and Roberson for
the Sigma’s with J.
Playing on the first-string Mu
team were Virginia Smith, cap
tain; Anne Willingham, Piitch
Pratt, Nellie Truslow, Plalr Pow
ers, Mary JIarshall Ragland,
Mary Cease, Petsy Shephard,
Frances Drane, Lucinda Edwards
and Rose Potter.,
Captained by Jane Gower, first-
string Sigma team was composed
of Ann Padger Smith, Pat George,
Sylvia Newson, Robbie Roberson,
Page Parrish, Cordelia Jlichie,
Dot Teague, Peggy Almand, Lo
gan Vaught, Charlotte TVallin
and Ann Moore.
After the final f^anie team mem
bers chose an all-star team, who
received stars in assembly Tues
day morning. Girls on that team
wei-e Powers, Cease, Newson,
Drane, Smith, Teague, Moore,
Pratt, Truslow, Roberson, Wil
lingham, Edwards and Gower.
Manager Nancy Holland received
a star for her cajiable manage
ment.
.MV’S l)UOW\ SKJJI.A’S
It seems the Sigma’s could
hardly swim out from under the
powerful Jill swimming team at
the meet before ’riuinksgiving.
Coping all sjieed races, the two
relays and one form competition,
the Jin’s won the meet by a large
margin. -Jo Coojier was victorious
in the breast stroke for speed;
Piitch Pratt, the back .stroke; and
Joan Tate, the American crawl.
Py virtue of swimming two
lengths of the jiool Framu's Drane
in-oved the cliam]) underwater
swimmer. For form competition,
Sigma, Luck Flanders demon
strated the best side stroke; Jlu,
Joan Tate, the best American
crawl; and Flanders and Jin,
JIary (’ease tied in the breast
stroke. The Jlii’s came first in
both the medley relay and the
umbrella relay.
lAMTKU CAiUn
In assembly 'ITiesday morning,
Virginia Smith, president of the
Letter Club, after explaining the
purposes of the organization, in
vited four new members into the
club. They ivere JIary Cease, Lu
cinda Edwards', Anne Willing
ham, and Luck Flanders. All
members of the club were enter
tained at a party in the hut Wed
nesday night.
Instead of the large stars that
have heretofore been awarded for
all-stars, tlie Letter Club is now
giving small all-star emblems, and
an SJl block letter to Letter Club
girls. The small stars can be worn
with a block letter.
As a club project, the group has
been selling Saint JIary’s seals,
and they plan to sell suitcase and
car stickers. They have also or
dered Saint JIary’s pennants.
Paul JI. Jloore, manager of the
JlanJIur Powling Center, spoke
to the student body on its new
bowling progi-am that is being
sponsored by the Letter (?lnb. He
explained the price reduction to
Saint JIary’s girls, the awardance
of trophies and gold pins to high
scorers, and possible Sigma-JIu
tournament plans.
SAIXT.S FOELOW SUIT
Now that the larger universities
are playing basketball. Saint
JIary’s devotes the majority of
her extra-curricular time to said
game. Eleanor Hope Newell and
Adelaide Linehan are Jlu and
Sigma managers, respectively.
(IJiiite a few girls are coming out
on Jlondays and Thursdays, so
some rip-roaring tournament
games should result. The Sigma’s
claim the largest number of new
girls, their number far exceeding
the veteran players.
KUN DU^K, RUX
If anyone on your hall informs
you she is learning to run, don’t
psychoanalyze her or rush her
over to Nursey Naylor’s, because
she is probably learning to walk ■
all over again from JIrs. Guess.
Just wait until you learn to skip!
It’s surprising how few girls have
mastered the art of skipping over
a rope. Also concerned with our
ajipearance in public, posture
classes meet once a week.
>f.AY DAY
With Nancy Holt acting as gen
eral chairman, committees have
been appointed for the planning
of the Jlay Day program. Under
the sponsorship of Orchesis, Saint
JIary’s dance club, the program
will launch its second year at
Saint JIary’s this spring. Commit
tee chairmen are Nancy Hamel,
pageant; Elizabeth Purus, elec
tions ; Jackie Burke, iiroperties;
Peggy Swinson, costume; Pob-
bette Chapman, publicity^ Daisy
Dixon, program; Hetsy Evans,
marshal; and Nancy Hannah,
stage sets. Committee members
will be announced in the next
BELLES.
