To Build Character
Prevails As Theme
Miss Alartha Dabney Joue-
talked to the student body in tlu
auditorium Tuesday morning, Oc
tober 6. Aliss Jones used as her
theme the Biblical scri2)ture “AYlien
I was a child, I S2)ake as a child,
but when I became a man I put
away childish things.” She said
that all the girls at Saint Alary’s
are adults or soon will bo adults and,
therefore, should begin to act more
like them. She stated the various
ways in which Saint Alary’s helps
a girl to become mature, but she
also stated that the girl herself
would be the one to decide whether
or not Saint Alary’s would help her
develop more mature attitudes and
traits.
“Thou are thy brothers keeper,”
was another Biblical scripture Aliss
■ Jones quoted in her talk. She said
tliat at Saint Mary’s eacli girl is
responsible not only for her own
conduct but also, to a certain ex
tent, for that of her classmates. A
girl can help her classmates develop
character by correcting them before
they establish bad habits.
_ Aliss Jones further stated that it
IS each girl’s responsibility to see
that ^the honor system at Saint
Alary s functions p^’operly. She
closed by saying that if she responds
properly to Saint Alary’s rules and
regulations, every girl at Saint
Alary s will develo2) a better char
acter.
