BELLES OF ST. MARY’S
March 1, 1957
Do Our Friends
Resemble Stars?
Many Thanks
To Our Leaders
Wherefore Aren't
Thou, Reuben?
Many Belles receive newspapers
from their hometowns. Often they
are interested in only the movie
sections and comic strips. Could
this be because they see re
semblances between people on
campus and stars or characters?
We think so.
i\Ir. Hughes could definitely pass
for Barry Fitzgerald.
Ruth Fukuda thinks Barry re
sembles Tab Hunter.
Jane’s Dad once told her she
looked like a movie star . . . Mar
jorie Main, no less.
Jeanne Dunn’s haircut reminds
one of the many Joan of Arcs.
Sally Mustard’s hair should be
fixed differently so that she could
pass for Leslie Caron.
Peggy Pegues could serve as a
model for Little Orphan Annie.
Ann Bonner could be a child star
for the rest of her life.
Wimpy in “Popeye” could be
portrayed by Mr. Guess.
The girls on 3rd Smedes think
IMamie Ruth could play any
“Dragon.”
Frances Pearson’s wit and intelli
gence could be the inspiration for
Pogo’s many remarks.
Carolyn Myers could definitely
portray Eloise.
Black and Biggers could be gang
sters in any movie concerning crime
in a big city.
Could we ever thank:
Dr. Stone enough for his interest
in our welfare?
Miss Richardson enough for say
ing just the right thing to lift our
spirits?
Miss Alorrison enough for back
ing the seniors 100%?
Mr. and Mrs. Hughes enough for
making us feel at home at their
little parties?
IMrs. Cell enough for suggesting
interesting. assembly programs?
Mrs. Callahan enough for keep
ing our rooms comfortable?
IMiss Brown enough for bringing
us mail?
Aliss Bason enough for keeping
the Chapel beautiful?
The two Airs. Browns enough for
helping us in the library?
Mr. Broughton enough for play
ing the organ for services in the
Chapel?
Aliss Tucker enough for taking
care of our records?
Aliss Davis enough for teaching
us poise and speech?
{To he continued next week.)
Peculiarities Of
Some Counselors
Is This Your
The girls who rule the halls are
the counselors. Each has her own
])articular idiosyncrasies; therefore,
this article is intended to enlighten
others as to the counselors’ peculi
arities.
Hat, My Belle?
Air. Hughes recently commented
to me about the various hats which
the students wear to church. I
immediately remembered that men
are often the only ones who talk
about women’s hats, but one look
around me revealed that many hats
are indeed odd.
• For example, the latest style in
hats are tliose which sit flat on the
head. A lampshade or shallow pan
could be covered thus becoming the
latest model.
Sailor hats resemble halos with
flowing ribbons. They give the
wearer a little-girl look which is
often mistaken for an angelic
appearance.
One girl wears a hat which could
pass for a flower pot with flowers
growing out of its bottom. Then,
the taller girls wear wide-brim hats.
They look like airplanes coming in
for a landing.
The latest fad of hats on campus
seems to be bands with bows. These
fit around the back of the head
leaving the hair to shine. One
shouldn’t wear this type of hat un
less her hair was curled the night
before.
Feathers, flowers, and the like
are added to hats to give the wearer
height, but a short girl who wears
such accessories tends to look top
lieavy. All in all, a girl just can’t
win when it comes to hats. They
simply must be outlawed! ! ! !
Jacquelline Sprat could eat no fat.
Her roomie could eat no lean.
Between these two counselors
They licked the i)latter clean.
These two girls are very out
standing. One is an editor and the
other a president. Guess Who?
Julia AVilcox and Alargie Reese
are simply loaded with talent.
Julia plays the organ while Alargie
dances dressed in scarves ... no
more, no less. She has taken over
the tradition begun by Hunt
Proctor.
By Shookspeare
Gertrude lived in 308 Smedes.
She was a sweet child, but
tragedy befell her early in life. One
night at the KA house, she met
Ruben. They were immediately at
tracted to each other, and Ruben
was determined to see her again
that night in spite of the thick walls
and iron doors guarding Saint
Marie.
At 2 o’clock Ruben surmounted
the fortifications and cautiously
approached Smedes Hall through a
charming avenue of oaks. Gertrude
was on the sun porch. She had
somehow managed to elude the hall
counselors and was eagerly await
ing the arrival of her lover. Ruben
sat down on the front steps and be
gan to declare his love for Gertrude
to the world. Afraid that he would
awaken the others, Gertrude called
softly to him.
“Ruben, Ruben. AV h e r e f o r e
aren’t thou, Ruben?”
Looking up, he saw her and felt
the wings of love flutter in his
breast. Ruben grasped a wisteria
vine and began his perilous ascent.
Halfway up he was met by two
vultures, guardians of the hall, but
he succeeded in beating them off and
finally reached his beloved. Clasp
ing her in his arms he told her of
his feeling for her. They realized
that they could not bear to be apart
any longer and planned to go to
Dillon the following Saturday.
Aleanwhile, back in 308 Smedes,
Hortense, Gertrude’s roommate,
had awakened and realized that
Gertrude was missing. She began
looking for her frantically. Finally,
she reached the sun porch and was
struck dumb by the sight that met
her eyes. AVaving her arms
wildly, she caught the attention
of Gertrude, who unlocked the door
for her. Having by this time re
covered her voice, Hortense pleaded
with Gertrude to return to their
room. The lovers parted reluctantly,
and Ruben started climbing down
the vine, fell and broke his neck.
Aloral: Don’t encourage your
boyfriends to climb the wisteria on
Smedes Hall.
Never Date A
Lizard To Qermans
I went to Chapel Hill for Ger
mans the other week end. To a
majority of Belles this appears
to be the most wonderful thing that
could happen, but I had a blind
date. I should have developed a
broken arm when I was introduced
to him, but I kept hoping he would
look better in the daylight. Freddy .
Frat was approximately 5 feet both I
ways. This made me only six inches |
taller than he was.
AAT made it to “The Hill” in 28
minutes and were settled in the
*!*? house in a couple of seconds.
The concert and dance were com
pletely flooded but not by rain.
Fredrick managed to “fall asleep.”
This would have been a perfect
time for me to snake. The only
catch was that he managed to ;
snooze .with his head in my lap!
therefore, I was unable to budge
from 3:00 B.AI. until 11:00 P.Ah
Finally, Freddy opened his blood
shot eyes, and when he got up I
ran! He found me . . . but, of
course. I’m sure I was the only
girl praying for 2:00 A.M. to come! '
Finally, I stooped as low (literally)
as to set his watch up. two hours. |
Then, off we rushed to meet the .
deadline.
The next morning came almost
as soon as Freddy! We went back
to the house for lunch, but Freddy
was still on his diet. I finally talked
him into letting me come back to
school with some friends. At last
the dream of every red-blooded
American girl was over. Rleasej
girls, take it from me. Before aC'
cepting a blind date, check and re'
check because he may turn oot
to be Freddy’s brother, another
Larry Lizard.
