Muff Nabers Honored
iVliss Aluff Nabers of Wilson was
selected at the fall meeting of the
Alumnae Association as the Stu
dent Alumnae Representative of
the year. The main duty of the
Student Alumnae Representative is
to act as a laison between the Sen
ior Class and the Alumnae Associ
ation. As President, Aluff is in a
very good position to keep the
Senior Class informed of the As

Home Economics
Exhibits Skills
On Thursday, December 15, the
girls of the Home Economics de
partment presented an exhibition
of their sewing skills. The girls
dis{)layed tea towels, embroidered
in their own designs, and multi
colored aprons. Four hand made
bedjackets were displayed on dress
forms.
Julia Aliller exhibited two blous
es and a baby’s nightshirt of soft
white cotton.
The tea towels and bedjackets,
both hand-done, helped to teach
the girls the elementary principles
of sewing. These principles helped
to teach the girls the use of the
niachines in making their aprons.
This work will be useful to them
in housekeeping.
This exhibition showed the hard
work and careful planning that
had gone into the making of these
garments.
HOW TO STUDY FOR EXAMS
(Continued from Page 1)
teacher by jotting down the ques
tions I would ask if I were re
sponsible for constructing the
exam. This procedure should serve
to highlight for you the following
materials which the majority of
instructors require their students
to know; (1) general principles;
(2) significant theories; (3) out
standing scholars; (4) specialized
vocabularies or technical vocabu
laries; (5) historical sequences;
(6) cause-effect relationships.
By all means, try not to inter
nalize the values expressed in this
bit of children’s folklore:
The more you study, the more you
learn.
The more you learn, the more you
know,
The more you know, the more you
forget.
The more you forget, the less you
know.
So what's the use of studying!
Miss Ellington—
1. Start review well in advance
of exam week.
2. Divide the material to be cov
ered into logical groups and cover
one of these groups at each review
session.
3. Get proper rest, food, and ex
ercise during the preparation per
iod.
Mr. Tate—
1. Start studying now.
2. Read through all of your
end of the year, to see that a per
manent class secretary and a per
manent class agent are chosen, and
to help with the Bulletin and the
Alumnae assembly program.

Assembly Programs
Planned
■ During the remaining part of
this semester our assembly chair
man, Jean Lippells, has several in
teresting programs planned for us.
On Thursday, January 12, the
first year drama students present
ed a short skit. The Fatal Guest

pre-exam study. The students who
participated in it were Judi Alose-

Sharon Fich, Pam Wright, Lucy
Rouce, and Ann Thompson.
On Tuesday, January 17, a rep
resentative from Bell Telephone
Company will give us a demon
stration about “Communications

high speed communications system
is essential for us in guarding our
country against an air attack by
an enemy. The Bell Telephone

us how to guard against a surprise
attack.
On Thursday, January 19, Mr.
Shellans will jiresent our assembly
program. He will sing folk songs
for us if he is able. (At the time he
has asthma, but ho hopes by then
to be able to sing for us.) How
ever, if he should be unable to sing,
lie will tell about folk songs and
play some of his recordings of folk
singers.

Exams
Approaching
Each year during exams the
routine of our lives here at St.
Alary’s becomes extremely hectic.
We spend practically every wak
ing hour studying and re-studying
until our minds are fairly swim
ming with the accumulation of
facts. The jieriod directly preced
ing the exam, however, is perhaps
the most nerve-racking. Between
last-minute “cramming” and worry
we can be not only tense, but com
pletely exhausted. For this rea
son, the chapel will be open every
morning during exam week. It is
often a great help merely to go
and sit for a while, to collect your
thoughts, and to alleviate your
tension l)efore entering an exam.
Because of the exam schedule,
there will be no formal chapel ser
vices during exam week. However,
Dr. Guerry will be there each
morning at twenty minutes before
nine to offer a few prayers.
Wanted:
The key to getting out of speech class
A paper clip
A ball-point pen attached to the blue
slip box
Someone to sew on name tapes
Bible 5, Bible 7, Speech 21 and Speech 31 will be scheduled in regular
class periods the week beginning January 16th.

St, Mary^s Groups
Make Christmas Gifts
The gifts of several St. Alary’®
groups made this Christmas a nier-
rj’ one for many people. The

Alary’s it was able to purchase a
doll carriage for a seven year old
girl and a walkie-talkie set for a
ten year old boy. The Orphanage
also received old clothes and toy®
contributed by members of the
Y.W.C.A.
The canned goods and fruit do
nated by St. Alary’s girls ivere
gratefully received by the Salva
tion Army and were distributed to
the needy families in and around
the Raleigh area.
Children at the State School foi
the Blind and the Alethodist Uf-
phanage were likewise thrilled v'ith
the stockings filled with candV
presented to them at Christina®
parties given by the AhW.C.A-
St. Alary’s girls can be pi'oa*^
of the jiart they jilayed in con
tributing to the welfare of thes^
people and thus to the spii’B °
Christmas.
