I stood in the hall amid all the confusion trying desperately to find East Wing 043. After about three trips back and forth from one end of the hall to the other, I stopped and asked the ever faith ful Annie May where the room was. Finally arriving at my des tination about ten minutes late, 1 gathered all the poise I had left and walked sedatelj" through the door. As I stepped into the room a dead silence seemed to settle over the class. Mustering my courage I started toward the back of the room where 1 saw the only vacant seat. I settled myself quietly into the chair and ivaited for the cla.ss to begin. When the teacher came into the room I stood up as the other girls did and felt very pleased with myself for catching on that quickly. By this time T was feeling practically like an ex perienced old girl. In the midst of a very compli cated discussion about the Nor man Conquest the bell rang, so 1 picked up my books and pro ceeded toward the door. Someone kindly informed me that the bell meant that only half the period When I first came to Saint Mary’s I expected a quiet hour to be quiet! How wrong can one be! At the be ginning of the year, during Orienta tion Week, anyway, I was pleasantly surprised, but now that classes have started, my roommate and I are about to go crazy. There seem to be three types of “brains” at Saint Mary’s who find it totally unnecessary to waste time studying. They are the ukelele play ers, the girls who are forever drop ping around to bum a cigarette, and the bebop fiends. Of these three, the first are by far the worst. The “bum mers” merely sit around and talk for hours on end while your cigarettes disappear. The bebop fans only cause the plaster to fall a little more, but those ukeleles—plus telephones and three or four radios tuned k different stations—are ruining life. From four to eight we hear a medley of what sounds like origin® compositions. The rest of the e'S ning is devoted to such good o' stand-bys as the Iladacol Boogtt’ The mornings are filled with scrcecn es and discords which faintly resem ble Sunny Tennessee and Ploy Simple Melody. But, after all, there is the l^nigW®^ side. I can always write my Eng'n theme about the noise on the bn*:' Maybe ukeleles will go out of sty ^ during the next five years I’ll spo" trying to concentrate on my histor.’’ But perhaps I might even becon’^ a famous ukelele player. Yes, decided to learn how — in defense. gatiK «id. fare UcK ‘1/or; ‘Vels fine llicli "’eiit fiium Over. fiitte: spok( AT THE THEATERS (October 1-14) CHOOSE YOUR LEADERS CAREFULLY The first few weeks at school are spent in electing the class officers and club officers who will lead the classes and clubs through the year. In order to lead any organization an officer needs co-operation in all projects and duties. Each girl in school has responsibilities. Being a good follower is often harder than being a good leader. Attending all class meetings and_ organi zation meetings is the first step in living up to her responsibilities as a member. All meetings are announced in assembly, in the dining hall, in the covered way, or on the Smedes bulletin board. Some groups meet at a set time each week. Familiarizing herself with the time and place of all meetings is not, therefore, a difficult task for any girl. Other responsibilities which a girl has in regard to her membership in organizations are also important. Doing her share in all projects which are undertaken, voting in all elections, and offering any helpful suggestions to her class and organization officers constitute the greater part of these responsibilities. All persons in authority appreciate co-operation, for without it authority is jiowerless. Leaders expect it. Co-operation is not a difficult aspect of school life. The officers of each club in which a girl is a member need her co operation to make it an organization of which to be proud. AMBASSADOR 1- 3 The Damned Don’t Cry.

This year almost student (lid her part in planning aiicl working on the stunts. T^ic — ‘ was over. 1 tried to get back to my seat as inconspicuously as pos sible and sat there the rest of the period with my pride completely shattered. When the final bell rang, 1 was the last student to creep out of the room. 1 then wandered into my next class hoping for better luck. Our teacher came into the room and began talking in some foreign tongue called Spanish. I sat and tried to look intelligent. When she asked me a question in Span ish 1 just sat and looked. Under standing my blank expression, she went on and asked another new girl the same question. 1 felt a little better when she, too, failed to answer. Near the end of the class 1 glanced around the room and saw a few girls who looked almost as lost and confused as I. Then I began to hope that some day I could look back and laugh at my mistakes. Maybe that day I won’t make such mistakes as calling Miss Bason Miss Brown and stroll ing into senior English instead of freshman Bible. I hope so, any- minstrel skits from East third Smedes and second West Wing cert proved that the girls on these halls spent a great deal of time perfection in their stunts. The costumes in The Things Wc 1 fi 1 wii s Summer displayed the interest of the girls from first Holt in making skit a success. Originality, j)lanning, and work all went hand in hand to make year’s stunt night a presentation which everyone will long reme”’ Each Saint Mary’s girl deserves credit for her part in the succ entertainment. '.''e "fiat Si BE AN ATHLETIC ENTHUSIAST, PLEASE full way! There are so many things to do! Life here at Saint Mary’s is i rushing, studying, and little sleep. How could one possibly croW( thing else into these busy days ? . , ulfi Don’t take that attitude! We are busy; we do have to study. that is basically what we’re here for. But we are not so busy that take time out for fun. Not ever! rjjjii' Every Saint Mary’s girl has been named either a Sigma or a Mn- means that every one of us has become a member of an organizatioii^j,^^^ j requires activity from its members. Don’t just settle for saying) ,)r' Sigma,” or “I’m a Mu,” and never doing anything about it. .*jj self so active and well known in your athletic society that no one i'’' to ask whether you are a Sigma or a Mu. nil The way to be well known is to go out for sports. Of course ypiii' not like some games as well as others. That’s understood. But pi*-' games and work at them. Even if you aren’t particularly athletically inclined, there for you to do. Be a cheerleader, maybe, and be at all of the kffd contests to back your team. Enthusiasm and team spirit play aii m'! part in every game, and even a spectator can contribute these. ji* Honest, girls! School life will be a lot more fun if you take 1 ^ things and make yourself a well-rounded Saint Mary’sfgirl. One gc° to achieve this aim is by being an active Sigma or Mu.
