Faculty, Students
Await Fall Term
According to Miss Elizabeth
Tucker, 232 students have already
enrolled for the year 1951-52. Of
these, 121 are returning students.
There are at the present time 55
seniors, 79 juniors, 49 sophomores,
32 freshmen, and 17 business stu
dents signed.
With the exception of Mrs. Wil
liam C. Guess, the entire faculty will
return. Miss Hilda Liverman will
head the Physical Education De
partment. Assisting her will be Miss
Peggy Jean Cameron of Southern
Pines. Miss Cameron will graduate
from 'W.C.U.N.C. this spring.
The position of alumnae secretary
has not yet been filled but will be
Mrs. Jane Guess, popular head of
the Physical Education Department,
has completed her last year of serv
ice at Saint Mary’s. Both faculty
and students will miss her quiet, effi
cient manner, as well as her untiring
co-operation.
Mrs. Guess came to Saint Mary’s
as Jane Cross in the fall of 1938.
She filled the position of assistant in
the Physical Education Department
and teacher of dance. In her first
year she began to make May Day a
very special event. She gave it a
quality which it had heretofore lack
ed. Literary societies chose the
theme and planned the general as
pects of May Day, while the Art
Department selected costumes. Some
of the music was composed by the
Music Department, and the dances
were created by the Dance Depart
ment under Mrs. Guess’ direction. _
Later as literary societies were dis
continued and the war made costume
material scarce, Mrs. Guess showed
igenuity in working out pageants for
which old costumes could be used.
In the summer of 1941, Miss Cross
married Mr. William C. Guess. In
1942, under Mrs. Guess’ inspiration,
Orctiesis was organized and modern
dance assumed its important place at
Saint Mary’s.
Mrs. Guess became head of the de
partment with the departure of the
former head in 1943. She showed
that her abilities wei-e administra
tive as well as artistic. In addition
to her other activities, she has helped
Miss Davis with movements in plays.
Mrs. Guess will be greatly missed
