These changes espe cially effect the English and language departments. In the English depart ment, the requirement has been low ered to nine hours, instead of the twelve required previously. In the language department, a student is re quired to take six hours of a foreign language (that has been continued from high school) and nine hours of a language started at St. Mary s. The drop-add policy has also been revised. A student may now with draw from a course, four weeks after it has been started without penalty. She mav also enter the course under the same policy. Expansion of the curriculum is also planned for most departments. St. Mary’s Students Become Teachers Carroll Junior High will have St. the English Depart- ^/nn^g'^htTpring quarts.

The first is an old-fashioned bound Eng lish notebook that belonged to Miss Pearl Normaday, Greensboro Col lege. It is not dated, but is obviously very old. This notebook should be of particular interest to English Liter ature students. It contains very pre cise outlines of five major poets: Shakespeare, Milton, Sydney, Pope, and Addison. These outlines contain concise information of the poets’ lives, their works, foreign contemp oraries, and political developments of their time. The second manuscript belonged to Miss Annie E. Crawford from St. Mary’s. It is a poetical diary written during and after the Civil War. The book contains mostly war poetry. Two of these war poems are: “Who Will Care for Mother Now”—February 5, 1864 and “North Carolina War Song”—February 18, 1865. The diary has many poems written to Annie’s sister and quite a few love poems of which “I Know Not Why I Love Thee” is one of the most beautiful. This manuscript has also a page on which nine ten-cent Confederate States of America postage stamps are posted under which is a poem la menting the death of the South. It is signed by Emma, who might have been Annie’s sister. As many students have noticed, the library has a new display case do nated by the class of ’20 and a new card catalog containing 120 drawers. This is a big improvement over the old catalog of only 45 drawers. Creative Arts Festival By Gail Perry Many St. Mary s girls found a new and unique way of worshiping God at the Christ Church Creative Arts Festival two weekends ago. We found God in aspects of our lives where we had never before thought He existed. And we also learned about brotherhood: black kids, white kids, straight kids, freaky kids, young kids, old kids — all sharing and giv ing of themselves and loving one another in a new religious experience. It was unbelievable! This experience was a weekend of creativity sponsored by Christ L p i s c o p a 1 Church. Professional people from all aspects of the arts came and taught workshops to any- “•^^^Ro.was interested. Girls from bt. Mary s not only participated act ively in the workshops, but many of thern were leaders in the various ac tivities. Ellen Smith was a chief or ganizer of the whole festival, with Mary Silver helping as a staff mem- ber; Muffin Penn worked with the television crew; painting paper, them- ^Jves and anything else were Carroll Uurtis and Lee Quinn; Miss Ricks was on hand to help out with crea tive writing; Everall Aiken, Connie rooks, and Gail Perry helped Mrs. I alley with the dance workshop; earning about the cinema were Betty Ward and Alison Milam; Cyn- thia Holding was into the drama workshop; and many other familiar faces were in and out of the work shops and the coffeehouse, which P'-^'roed live entertainment. , he weekend culminated with a celebration of the Holy Eucharist on Sunday. The congregation sat on the floor and encircled a table that was Vovn fL altar. We followed the 1970 Liturgy which consists of broad outline with seven points for the priest to follow — the rest of the ser vice is created by the people. We came together in the name of the Lord, singing a Negro spiritual; dra matic portrayals of Spoon River An thology were the response to the word of God; We “passed the peace”; two ballet dancers prepared the table for communion; we broke bread to other using loaf bread and Gold Duck, and each person passed the bread and wine” to his neighbor; and we ended the service with a folk song. It was so unique and wonderful because the congregation actively took part and became intensely in volved in the service. What a change from the traditional church’s repres sion of our natural instincts into one where we used the talents God gave us to proclaim His word. Try to imagine what it was like to “pro claim the Word of God” in a ballet dance at a church service! We learned there what a moving experience religion can be and we left wishing we could find that same feeling here. their com- 3an mic affairs, ited both in siork and in th Carolina, ary’s. it St. Mary's imented Dr. )m past dat- : no personal “My job is its graduate, eryone.” er: “I really dean, but I dve up teach- doroughly en- pect of St. spians at Play ryan, II londucted for lub production leason at St. 28-29.
