Student Body Welcomes Sculptress The St. IMary’s student body wholeheartedly welcomed Fiore de Hcnriquez on April 11. In one of the most entertaining and unusual lectures of the year, Fiore, a world renowned sculj)tress, answered ques tions about sculpture and sculptors while demonstrating her work in a portrait of Mr. Ben Williams, hus band of St. Mary’s art instructor. Fiore humorously gave her personal ojunions of modern art, her favorite works and iier favorite models. She also iiresented a brief sketch of her own life. The entire student body was fascinated with her work and her informal lecture. At a coffee hour after the lecture the sciiljitress talked with a few girls in the faculty house. There she^ answered in more detail the various questions on sculpture. As a result of her visit, the students of St. IVIary’s are more enthusiastic about sculjiture and feel very for tunate to have had a chance to hear and see Fiore de Henriquez. With the end of school drawing near, the contest between the Sig mas and the IMus is growing tense. The AIus, who now lead the Sig mas by 20 points, are striving to maintain their lead, while the Sig mas are fighting for more points. AVhether the Sigmas or the IMus win the gold plaque to be given at the end of school will be determin ed by the softball, archery, tennis, and golf matches to be held. Come on, you Sigmas and Mus, and sup- j)ort your team. Remember, your team’s victory depends on your support! Vale Honored Kay Vale from Norlina, N. C., has recently been honored with the publication of her poem “Mo ments after Rain” in the National High School Poetry Association Anthology.

SPRING FEVER Qlee CluLd, ^H-te^UaUt On Tuesday, Aj)ril 12, the stu dent body was entertained by an assembly program of the St. (Mary’s Glee Club arfl members of the North Carolina State Glee Club. Their first selection was E. Humi)erdink’s “Prayer” from Han sel and Gretle. We then heard “Oklahoma Choral Selection” by Rogers and Hammerstein. The joint i)rogram was directed by the director of the State College grouj), who exj)ressed his ajipreciation for the cooperation of the two choral groups. Daisy Digs The Den Next time you’re near tlie Day People s Den, just tiptoe through the coke bottles and cigarette butts and select a seat (])robably in one of the locker-beds), and ])rei)are to be entertained. If you’re lucky you may be able to get Sharon Cates to tell you all about that Easter Bunny named Bruce who laid all those chocolate eggs in her basket. Or ])erhaj)s Ginger Hayes Carroll will describe married life for you. Even better is the story about the beach ]>arty with its hysteripil chaperone and Alice V ilson’s charming animal-type date. Before being overcome by the fumes (smoke and other) be sure to congratulate .lane Todd, the new PilvA Dream Girl, and Barbara Bridgers who has a brand new i)in-pal. Also note the decora tive atmosphere of locker #34. Perliaps while you visit you will receive a gentle NINT from one of our very own NINTERS. In any case we wish you would try to droj) in right after chai)cl when you can fully ai)preciate our more tlum adequate facilities and our rustic atmosphei'e of local color. ..lust check those greent?) sofas arranged like the interior of a Greyhound bus, and notice how everyone seems to want to share her locker by leaving the door gagging open, revealing everything from (Jinny’s sign collection to .Sally’s drawn-on curtains. Also note tliose uni(|ue ashtrays sha])ed just like Coke bottles. V'e know you'll just love it here: Y’all come. The era of flu has passed and has given way to that annual dis ease commonly referred to as Sj)ring Fever (medicallj-, springus feverus). This menace plagues us every year about this time, and there is absolutely no waj' to es cape its clutches — unless you hajipen to be a ])erson with an e.x- ceptional amount of will power, which is generally most unlikely. Am I not right? With the new warmth of spring and the outburst of nature, don’t you want to forget about the books, slij) on the outmoded, shrunken bathing suit and steal awav to the sun porch? And don’t youV (You might be one to say to your con science that you’ve a bad cold and, after all, the heat of the sun is the best cure, with the vitamin D and stuff). You detest doing those biology charts and reading about the Triple Alliance, and the sun will clear uj) your buinjiy com- ])lexion, and you can do wliat lit tle assigned work you possess later or get by without doing it. Any excuse will do just to satisfy out wardly your conscience. With the newest tubes and bot tles of conglomerations guaranteed to tan you easily, beautifully, and j)ainlessly, you give way to'tcmji- tation and take your comfort out behind the auditorium to sac out for a couitle of hours. Everywhere you see girls turning away from the library towards the sun porcli for that j)ursuit of higher cultural knowledge. V ith one’s buddies “the porch” becomes the watch word—sun, good company, cokes. “Antigone” ((Con’t from page 1) A^lso taking j)art in the play will be St. (Mary’s pride and joy, Pam Wright. .Just finished with her out standing performance as St. .Joan in the Raleigh Little Theater’s “The Lark,” Pam j)lays the part of the messenger in the play. It is to be stressed that this pro duction is not the original version of the play, writteni by Sophocles more tlian 2,000 years ago, but a modern adaptation entirely differ ent from the older play. The scene of “Antigone” is The bes, a city of Greece. The story involves the discord in the ruling family of the time, and the plot can be briefly stated as that of the state against society. The i)Iay can be called a tragedy, but one ap plying the jtractice of the Greek tragedies in that it uses “relief” scenes, or scenes in which comedy actors relieve the tension. Also aiding in the creation of mood and variety is a speaking chorus of three voices: Ann Ridenhour, -lane Coleman, and Freddie .Tones. The costuming is reported to Im beautiful. The actors will be in dress having a Greek effect but fairly modern. It seems that the students have a real treat in store for them when the curtains go up on “Antigone next month. The members of the cast themselves are delighted with the })lay, and feel that they are prc])aring a truly dramatic produc tion. bridge — wliat more could one want? IVliy study? Life is meant to be lived! \ou have become an optoinist with a happy outlook on life, but you have also suffered the conse quences. Down come the grade? and your j)reviously deserved ac ceptance to the “Hill”; in coinc letters from parents restricting your privileges, and with other va rious and sundry threats which, of course, you briish off lightly ant then suffer sometimes crucial N' suits. Aren’t you ashamed of voui' self, but life is fun, wonderful, auu isn’t this ecstaev!
