Tic ajijirojiriately ended by

The theme of this year’s Alay
Day entertainment is the industri
alization of a small hillbilly town,
and the purpose of the stoiy is to
show that Americans are a mingled
grou]) of people who live in differ
ent environments and have differ
ent customs; trades, and interests.
The story will be acted out m six
dances, each representing a differ
ent jihase in the industrialization
of the town.
The first dance, which is a char
acter dance, takes jilace in the
town before the industrialization
begins and is performed by the hill
billy group. The music for this
dance is from the Ballet Cake
AValk. The moving in of factories
and the development of industry
set the scene for the second dance.
In this modern, dance twelve danc
ers represent a machine and three
dancers represent the workers who
run the machine. As the story pro
gresses, the factories draw people
from the cities, and with these
people come modern ideas and mu
sic. Two groups of dancers act out
this modernization to the jazz mu
sic of the Ballet U.S.A. From the
cities also come the cultured group
of jjeople. In a classical lyric bal
let danced to exerts from operettas,
the fourth group of dancers repre
sent these cultured people and their
interests. All the groups of danc
er depicting all walks of life, par
ticipate in the fifth dance, which
shows the night life of the thriving
new community. Taverns and night
clubs set the scene for the can-can
dancers who swirl to the music of
the Gaite Parisienne by Offenbach.
Alembers of Orchesis bring the pro
gram to a close as they dance the
htruile to the music of Gaite Paris
ienne.
Juniors Give
Prize Skit
Gongratulations are in order for
the girls in the junior class who put
on one of the best assembly pro
grams of the year. Everyone agrees
that the skit, which was a take off
on “a tvjiical week at bt. Alary s,
was refreshingly uniciue and hilari-
ous.
Sophia Pike deserves much credit
for planning and organizing the
whole program. Lila AA olff, Betsy
Eagles and Alargaret Atkinson
were responsible for writing the
witty iioem that Sophia read.
Tliough there was much niimic-
ing and satire, it was all in fun, and
certainly not meant maliciously.
AA’e liope that there will be other
jirograms m the fiitiiie that are
jus^as amusing, entertaining, and
totally successful.
Students Plan
For The Summer
AATll girls, hang on — only four
more weeks and then vacation time.
Beach time, or just plain Happy
Time — esjiecially for you lucky
seniors. Everyone seems to have
her summer all mapped out with
Summer School, Beach weekends
and extensive trips over the globe.
At Summer School at Carolina
will be Alartha Parham, Jean Tay
lor, Amelia A'ancey, Cleve Fletcher,
Alary Ann Carter, and Caroline
London, taking a few classes and
a lot of the extra-curricular activi
ties. Bunn said she’d be there too,
because she’s in “need of some
learnin’.” Peggy Posthethwait is
going to Duke— She’s no conform
ist. Stutts is attending Lenoir
Rhyne in Hickory, one of the larg
er metropoli in Carolina. Aluff Na-
bers, Hadley Alorgan, Alary Brent
Elmore plan to take in a little
studying at A. C. in between trips
to the beach. Alary Lee Hinson
leaves St. Alary’s for Queens, and
Charlotte, and a few unmention
able places.
Alany girls are working inside
or outside at the various beaches
along the Eastern Seacoast. Ginny
AIcKimmon is working at the Ava-
mere. At A^a. Beach on 66th St. will
be Becky Elmore. Patsy Frank is
working at a gift Ishop on the beach
at Pensacola. Eagles is “beach-
bumming’’ it at AAh’ightsville. Hol
ton and Exum will be around
“])laying in the sun.” Farther soutli
will be Carole Bleimeyer in, Aliami
and Palm Beach. No matter where
she goes, “Jewel” Dayvault plans
to “iilay.” Stutts will be appearing
on the weekends at Pawley’s Is
land! Jane Aloore’s ])lanning an
extensive trip to Nags Head. There
also Sue Creech, Alidge, Gay Da
vis, Amelia A'ancey plan to go.
Several girls have jobs—in need
of money maybe? Trudie’s work
ing at Rock Brooke. Jean Lippels
has gotten a j ob at the Buena Vista
Shop in AAhnston. Elouise is work
ing for the government in Washing
ton; she likes the big cities. Joanna
Dayvault will spend her summer
teaching art to little chillun; we
think that’s very commendable.
Europe is of the utmost attrac
tion to many of Alother Alary’s
girls. Alany seniors— Aletcalfe,
Queen Caroline, Bonnie the Blimp,
Laundauer, Lou Pittman, Cope
land, Florie, and Rebecca Hines—
will take off to see the world. Edith
Alston and Diane Blanton will also
be carousing about the theaters,
museums, and night sjiots! Kathy
Levas sails alone to meet friends
in Switzerland— not very envious
— uh! uh!

Livas To Study
In EUROPE
Anyone in New AMrk City on
June 30, 1960 is invited to bid a
farewell ^ and “bon voyage” to
Kathy Livas, a junior here at St.
Alary’s, who will sail on the Con-
stitution for Europe on that date.
Kathy is not only going to spend
the summer months abroad, but
she is also jilanning to remain there
throughout the winter, returning to
the Lmited States in time to resume
second-semester studies at the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
The opportunity for the trip arose
when a friend of the Livas’ family
invited Kathy to tour Eurojie with
him and his family during July
and August. She will meet them in
Geneva, Switzerland, where the
group will leave by car for many
points of interest, one of them be
ing Rome and the Olympic games.
At the end of August Kathy will
see her traveling companions off
in Holland where they will embark
for America, and she will return to
Geneva, Switzerland, to live with a
Swiss family who board foreign
students every year.
Tim actual purpose of the trip is
for Kathy to learn the French lang
uage which she is planning to use as
her major course in college. She
feels, as do many others, that the
only way to learni a language is to
study it in its own natural environ
ment. She chose Geneva as her
home because, for one reason, it is
in French-speaking Switzerland;
and, for another, ^ she has heard
from niany exiierienced. travelers
that Switzerland is the most beauti
ful European, country.
^ As for schooling in Geneva,
Kathy jilans to attend the Univer
sity of Geneva where she will audit
several courses. During vacations
and any spare time she wants to
learn how to ski and hopes to take
a coujile of short trips tb exciting
tourist attractions.
In .January Kathy will return to
her home in. Chapel Hill, N. C., a
weary traveler but a better “parlez-
vous-er!”
