Tight Up The Sky’
The Raleigh Little Theater open
ed its 1950-’5f season with the Moss
Hart comedy, “Light Tip the Sky,”
at the Little Theater October 16.
“Light Up the Sky” is based on
some actual Broadway personages.
Life magazine carried a very inter
esting article a few years ago con
cerning this play. It is as follows:
“All autumn all Broadway buzzed
with rumors that Moss Hart’s new
comedy “Light Up The Sky” would
caricature actual Broadway person
ages. When it opened on its tryout
tour in New Haven the rumors
seemed to have been well founded.
Author Hart claimed his characters
were composite ])ortraits, but Broad
way could guess who was who.
“There was a giddy, svelte actress
who coni])ared with Gertrude Law
rence. 'Phere was a brash, loud
producer and his wife who had
])oints in common w’ith Mr. and
Mrs. Billy Rose. About the only
sympathetic characters were two
gifted ])laywrights whom some ])eo-
ple took for youthful and middle-
aged versions of Hart himself.
“Before Hart’s play opened on
Broadway in a toned-down version
there were tears, tantrums and tele
grams from outraged victims. About
the maddest was Billy Rose, who
felt that his friend Moss Hart had
created a too raucous portrait of
Rose’s wife, the former swim star,
Eleanor Holm. Hart insisted it
was all meant in fun, but Rose was
still mad even after Hart sent klrs.
Rose $50.00 worth of American
Beauty roses.”

Honor Week At SMS
Stresses Honor Code
Saint Mary’s has been observing
this week of October 16-23 as Honor
Week. Honor AVeek is being ob
served for the pur])ose of stressing
to Saint Afary’s girls the import
ance of Student Government and
the Honor Council.
To inaugurate Honor A\’^eek the
Circle has published and distributed
the Student Government Gazette
and blotters. In assembly Thurs
day, October 19, Aliss Jones stressed
the importance of Student Govern
ment in Saint Alary’s life. Kvery-
one then made her j)ledge to the
Honor Code.
Student Government at Saint
Mary’s was organized in 1931 by a
grou]) of girls and a faculty mem
ber in order to give the girls them
selves authority over their rules and
actions. After a])proval by students
and faculty the student government
constitution was ado])ted in 1938.
According to this constitution the
Honor Council holds the highest
place in School activities. In 1941
the Honor Council was given the
j)ower to try all cases in relation to
violations of the Honor Code.
Every girl at Saint Mary’s is
automatically a member of the Stu
dent Government Association and
takes upon herself the res])onsil)ility
of u])holding and carrying out the
rules and regulations in the Honor
Cod(>.
Under the Honor (’ode a girl is
resi)onsibl(> not only for her own
honor but also for the honor of
others. Slu! must be willing to hel])
others to correct their mistakes and
to see till* necessity of eom])lying
with the II01101' ('ode.
