Faculty Votes For
Curriculum Changes
Recently there have been changes
in the curriculum and requirements
at St. Mary’s. 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.

Sophomore Dance
Held Tonight
In honor of the Sophomore Class,
the Freshmen of St. Mary’s will’
sponsor a formal dance tomorrow,
February 27th.
The large parlor of Smedes will be
decorated with “lots of flowers,” ac
cording to Freshman Class President
Lauren Jones. The dance will begin
at 8:30 p.m. and continue until mid
night. However, the band, “Free
way,” will begin playing at 8:00 p.m.
Before the dance, as an annual
tradition, most girls will treat their
dates to a steak winner. The Angus
Barn and The College Inn were pop
ular last year.
This year, the dance is not re
quired for the High School Stu
dents. Girls and their dates may
come to the dance and leave when
they desire. Both classes must return
to school and sign-in by 1:15 a.m.,
however.

WHATS THE POOP’
Library Possesses
Old Manuscripts
The library has just received two
very old manuscripts that should be
of much interest to the students. 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.
