INTRODUCING:
the Canterbury Club
The Community Che.st is begin
ning its annual fund-raising drive
with the slogan “Give Enough for
All Twelve Months.” This is an
excellent slogan for everyone here
at Saint Mary’s to remember,
since our quota has been raised
almost every year.
The Community Chest has con
tinually grown in importance and
service; therefore, its goal has
grown higher. The Chest offers
the public the opportunity to give
to various worthy organizations
with one lump sum. In this way
campaign expenses are cut and
most of the public’s donations can
be used in beneficial ways. The
organizations which are combined
under the Community Chest this
year are; Boy Scouts of America,
Girls Scouts of U.S.A., Child Guid
ance Clinic, Interracial Commis
sion, Salvation Army, Family
Service Society, Eloodworth
Street Y.M.C.A., Tuttle Com
munity Center, United Service
Organization (U.S.O.), Young
Women’s Christian Association,
American Social Hygiene Associ
ation, and the Community Coun
cil.
“The Canterbury Club is the
young people’s organization of the
Episcopal Church. Its purposes
are to help in the five major fields
of campus, community, state, na
tion, and world.”
It carries out these purposes
through various projects in all the
fields. On the campus it promotes
good feeling among the students,
gives the girls preparation for
Christian service here and in their
respective parishes, and works
with the other religious organiza
tions for the good of the school.
In the community, it contributes
to the needy, especially at Christ
mas. In the state, it is a chapter
of the state Canterbury Club and
contributes to this state-wide or
ganization as an integral part. In
the fields of nation and world, it
aids in the rehabilitation of
Europe through gifts of needed
and scarce items.
Through these and many other
activities the Canterbury Club at
tempts to insure the good feeling
and Christian atmosphere of Saint
Mary’s. Any student is eligible
for membership.
RESPONSIBILITY
OF GOVERNMENT
Students should want to con
tribute to every community in
which they are temporarily or
permanently living. This is our
chance to help. Our goal this year
is $800, seventy-five dollars more
than last year’s. Let’s be sure to
go over the top-“GIVE ENOUGH
FOR ALL TWELVE MONTHS.”

The term student government em
bodies the right of each of us to gov
ern our own activities, and to share
the right to supervise the activities
of our associates. Student govern
ment is a privilege; it is a T)rivilege
which we ourselves can abolish by
failing to accept and uphold our in
dividual responsibilities in a self-
governed society.
The most important components
of our government at Saint Mary’s
are we, the students. Some of us
hold student offices, but the majority
of us are the small and individual
working parts in the vast machinery
of self-government. Without our sup-
j;ort, the machinery would disinte-
grate. . . ,
To maintain student government,
we must accept our small hut. collec
tively important duties. To know
and maintain our self-made rules,
and to follow willingly our chosen
leaders are our prime responsibili
ties. Unle.ss wo share our resjumsi-
hilities faithfully, our rights of self-
government will disajipear.
Well, records enthusiasts, the plat
ter assembly line has really turned
out some terrifically fine discs, both
in the novelty and sentimental line,
in the past few weeks.
Two recent tunes which have been
plugged again and again on some of
the local disc jockey programs and
which seem to have won great favor
in the public eye are A Thousand
Violins and Through a Long and
Sleepless Night; both are Columbia
records by Dinah Shore. Mel Torme
has recently waxed a new romantic
ballad entitled The Meadows of
Heaven. Ella Fitzgerald, who a few
years ago made musical history with
her recording of For Sentimental
Reasons and That’s My Desire has
come forth with a brand new thing
called Foolish Tears. While the disc
reporter is still up to her eyebrows
in the more amorous line of waxings,
it would be well to mention Perry
Como’s latest release, -4 Dreamer's
Holiday, and Evelyn Knight’s new
est, If I Ever Love Again.
Now I know that those of you who
are staunch fans of Beneke will be
pleased as punch to know that Tex
has waxed a lilting little lulu called
I Can Dream, Can’t I? This piece
is another one of those tunes which
were launched in the ’20’s and have
been revived in hojie that they might
prove successful in their second de
buts. Beneke’s only competition on
this song is from the Andrews Sisters
on Decca, and Tommy Dorsey who
recorded the same tune for RCA
Victor quite a while ago.
From the way that it has become
])opular with the artistes de musique,
a s])arkling little tune which has re
cently appeared on the record mar
ket seems to he heading for the top
of the Hit Parade. It’s title is A
Bluebird on My Window Sill, and
it has been recorded by Doris Day
for Columbia, by Carmen Cavallero
for Decca, and by Freddy ilartin
for RCA Victor.
Well, there it is, the best in the
latest discs. But as. a final word to

Dear Sallie,
