There are many activities that go
on at St. Alary’s throughout the
year. Some require much concen
trated work for its members, while
others just demand interest and co
operation.
Every two weeks the Belles staff
puts out the school paper, which
contains news of St. Alary’s activi
ties and features about St. Alary’s
life.
The Bulletin is a literary maga
zine consisting of the creative writ
ing of its staff members. The school
yearbook is put out by the Stage
Coach staff yearly. All of these
publications are voluntary; more
over, the editors welcome any stu
dents who wish .to join the staff.
The choir and glee club supply
the music for the school—the choir
singing only in church and the glee
club presenting several concerts an
nually.
The Doctors’ Daughters Club
and the Granddaughters’ Club each
sponsor projects every year, and
their membership is made up of just
what the names of these organiza
tions signify.
Sigma Pi Alpha is a language
fraternity composed of students
with a certain academic average.'
The A'oung Democrats Club and
the A'oung Republicans Club a,rc
political organizations with its
membership on a voluntary basis.
These clubs often have picnics and
speakers for entertainment.
Under the supervision of Aliss
Davis, the Dramatics Club presents
several plays each year. To be in
this club you do not have to be
able to act, but be willing to render
your services in anything for which
you may be needed.
The A’WCA and the Canterbury
Club are Christian organizations
for young girls.
These are some of the activities
carried on at St. Alary’s in which
the new girls may especially be in
terested.
by Peggy Harrell
Twas the first week of school.
And all through the dornis
Not a student in place.
Although each was informed.
The rooms were assigned
By the faculty with care.
In hopes that each student
Would soon be settled there.
The Seniors were hustling
To get their books read.
While the others at tasks
'Were using their heads.
And for a few nights
To the hut we went.
For picnicing and fun
Alany hours well spent.
And out on the lawn
Girls sat with their dates;
While others inside
Told of their life’s fate.
Away to the village
Girls went for their needs—
To buy curtains, bedspreads,
And a lamp indeed.
New girls with passes
Went to a good show.
While others stayed home,
Cause they had no dough.
Then Friday night, what fun?
A party for all
Faculty and girls—
Then came one, came all.
With so many people
Whose smiles never vary,
I knew in a moment
This was the true St. Alary’s.
Alore rapid than ever
Girls ran for their mail.
And they shouted for joy
When it was from a male!
To the Chapel we go
Whenever we need help.
Because no one alone
Can solve i)roblems of self.
Now Freshmen! Now Sophomores!
Now, Junior and Senior!
Study hard, jiay attention.
And with your friends confer.
To the top of your class;
To the toj) honor roll;
Study hard, study hard.
With all your heart and soul.
