This year students returned to new paved walks on the back campus. These walks will doubtless prove very serviceable in en abling students to keep their feet out of the Avet mud on rainy days. Now that this precaution has been made for the underneath, shouldn’t something be done for the overhead? Holt Hall is the only dormitory on campus which is not -joined by a covered way of some sort to classrooms, dining hall, chapel, and audi torium. Residents of Holt Hall have no protection from' the 46.34" of rain scheduled to fall in Raleigh this year. Colds which could easily result from being exposed to this dampness will place students in the infirmary, thus causing them to lose valuable time from their work. In addition to serving as a protection from the iveather, a covered way would save girls living in Holt the trouble of getting a raincoat in order to traverse the short distance to Smedes. Rather than have to carry a bundlesome coat to class, most girls try to beat the rain by running. Damp hair, clothes, and feet, wdiich bring on colds, are the inevitable result. A covered ivay from Holt to the dining room would be most desir able, but it is not so essential as one to Smedes. Most girls take only six trips daily back and forth from Holt to the dining room, while each girl goes back and forth from Holt to Smedes approximately twelve times per day. From Holt to Smedes is only a short distance of approximatelj^ thirteen and one-half yards. Surely this would not be too costly an output for its return of value and convenience. One of the advantages of a small school such as Saint Mary’s is that it can be closely connected. Students are spared the incommnience of traversing great distances between classes and dormitories. At Saint hlary’s students are not onlj^ spared this inconvenience, they are pro vided with covered ways for the brief distances they have to go. Would thal this serviceable system of connected buildings could be extended to Holt Hall. THREE CHEERS FOR SCHOOL SPIRIT Organization is a very important factor in bolding a student body together, and recognition should certainly be given to the excellent start in student organization which has taken place at Saint Mary’s this year. Both the little store and the recreation room opened earlier this year than in previous years. Each offers a large A’ariety of food to buy and each can boast of unusual profits already. Student spirit for volunteer workers has also been overwhelming. The Sigma’s and Mu’s displayed their best example of organization in the election of cheerleaders. They selected more cheerleaders this year than in previous years and presented a program for the cheer leaders to carry out—the purpose of Avhich is to keep school spirit at Saint Mary’s high throughout the year. Also two pep rallies for each athletic organization have taken place. During the past iveek, class leaders have stressed each day the im portance of presence at all class meetings, and students have co-oper ated at the fullest to organize their classes. Most of the club officers whom the students did not elect last year have taken office and begun their activities. As the old saying goes, “Praise should be given where praise is due.” Both the leaders and the followers at Saint Mary’s have co-operated thus far to organize the student body in all activities.

Though I had heard of the quiet tempo of American life, this sun'" mer I actually experienced it in an American home. An American wife gets tliu'S® done twice or three times as quietv as a Japanese wife does in a d*!' She has her car when she wants to go out. In the backroom her hones washing machine is earning ^ time. Her vacuum cleaner delive’* her from the dusty air of the I’oou* after sweeping. America is certan> ly heaven, especially for houseWiveS) but the thing which does thmS’ more than a washing machine o>' | car is her remarkable technique o lovable. Library Receives Special Magazine using her time and her machiu^® efficiently. For the first two weeks of mL'® cation, I was just like a turtle u* rabbit’s family. While everyh® J in the family was jumping and ruu ning around with machines, I ", alone being occupied by catching t* tails of time and machines. However, by the end of the suiu mer I learned how to beat time u" machines and run ahead of had a very busy summer. Saint Mary’s library has just re ceived the centennial issue of Har per’s Magazine. This special three- hundred page issue is one of the most important ever put out by a' magazine publisher and will doubtedly be a collector’s item.

At Mary’s a girl gains respect by living by the Honor Code. Thus ^ earns for herself a name of Avhich to be proud. The Honor System, instituted by the students themselA’es, -u r.. . ..... ., ’yadid® ing is strictly defined as the use of anyone’s Avork Avithout due g liomeAvork, or classAvork of any nature is cheating. Each " lying as much as telling a falsehood. AlloAving someone to dr fe" conclusions concerning a deed or statement is also a lie Avheu pjg Avords of explanation Avould reveal the truth. Some girls, them unimportant, overlook small falsehoods. Each lie no matter great or hoAv small, Avhether spoken or intimated, is important. Getting aAvay Avith something dishonest is not the thing Avhich each girl should strive, but living up to her higher self. ’ of each girl to be honest in all her dealings is the principal purpo^^jjo the Honor System. The responsibility lies Avith th^ indiAudual- reAvard is a clear conscience and a name of Avhich to be proud.
