of g)t Vol. XXXIX No. 3 RALEIGH, N. C. November 25, 1974 Father-Daughter Day Activities Provided For All By Celeste Neaves After a week of decorating halls, Friday, November 1, and our fathers finally came. The day was filled with various ac tivities for St. Mary’s girls and their fathers to participate in. All the halls were beatifully decorated in honor of our fath ers. The judges decided that all the halls put forth such a great effort that everyone would be declared winners. Seniors will get an extended curfew for a week, night and freshmen, sophomores and juniors will get a free overnight. During the day the visiting fathers got to observe our classes. In a Physics class the fathers were able to help in an experiment. All the girls in the class appreciated their fathers’ help. The afternoon was very busy. Fifty-four fathers with their daughters participated in the tennis tournaments. Mabel Goe- hagen and her father came in first place with Anna Neal Blanchard and her father fin ishing second. After the tourna ment there was an exhibition match — Miss Jones and Miss Alexander were challenged by Aubrey Ford and Walter Tem ple. Mr. Ford is Bonnie Ford’s father and called himself “a chauvinistic father.” Miss Jones and Miss Alexander made their debutes on the tennis courts dressed as two frivalous fe males. Unfortunately, the wom en lost 6-4, 6-3. All the fathers enjoyed watching this match and it seemed the players were having a great time also. At 3 o’clock, the fathers were entertained by the three dancing groups: Orchesis, Gillie Callum, and the Caperettes in the gym. Also, at 3 o’clock in the nata- torium, the Sea Saints per formed for our fathers. These groups put in a lot of work for this day and were well praised. Dinner was served in the cafeteria and entertainment was provided by the Cold Cuts who sang some of their newer songs and dedicated a special song to our daddies. After din ner, chapel was held and the night’s collection goes to paint ing the chapel. At 8 o’clock, a special per formance of the “King and I” was given for the fathers. All the fathers seemed to thorough ly enjoy the play this year. Saturday morning many girls took advantage of having their fathers here and went shopping. Father/Daughter Day this year was a memorable day for all of us here at St. Mary’s. Sophomores Defeat Freshmen 26-0 By Anna Savage At 5:15 early November 7th the sophomores, being in a ram bunctious mood, awoke and decided to carry through with an old St. Mary’s custom. By rampaging through all the freshman halls that morning, hanging and making all sorts of noise, the sophomores empha sized their strong spirit of mind, which showed the freshmen the tough game they were in for that day. Approximately 4:16 that aft ernoon the Sophomore - Fresh man game of ’74 began. A crowd of spirited spectators on the sidelines watched as the cap tains of both teams, Katie Cole and Ellyn Faircloth, (captains for the sophomores), and Lore White and Anna T. Webb (cap tains for the freshmen), met to decide which team would kick off. The freshmen kicked to the Sophomores and here the battle began. Before the first quarter had ended the sophomores showed their strength when Ellyn Fair- cloth made a touchdown. ’The freshmen were pulling hard, but the sophomores’ strong offense kept them in their place. Katie Cole, doing a great quarterback ing job, and the team, having the ability to work together, made it possible for them to get ahead so quickly in the game. Before halftime was over Ellyn Baircloth and Katie Cole had Both scored touchdowns. At halftime the sophomores entertained their onlookers and Quests with a band, and then, the rosy-cheeked freshmen cheerleaders did a cheer for everyone. Halftime ended and it ^as time for the sophomores to kick off to the freshmen. After receiving the kick-off ^nd before given a chance to ^own the ball, Marcie Connors *nade a touchback for the sopho- *aores. With the freshmen’s strong defense and the strong offense of the sophomores, the Battle was far from ended. A freshman player, Jan Stewart, intercepted a pass during the third quarter, which left some hope for the freshmen. Anna Webb and Lore White kept the freshmen’s spirit going. However, before long the sophomores had recovered the ball and Ellyn Faircloth made another touchdown. Then, be fore everyone knew it, the game was over! 'The sopho mores are to be congratulated for their victory over the fresh- men with an ending score of 26-0. I am sure everyone would like to thank their coaches, Hal Hester for the sophomores, and our own Sally Lewis for the freshmen. And if I may add, early the next morning, at about 6:30, the freshmen went to all the sophomore dorms and sang congratulations to all the sopho more football players! (Let it never be said that the freshmen have poor sportsmanship!) I tiSr. FRESHMEN PLAY A TOUGH GAME AGAINST SOPHO MORES — But they never lost their spirit even after the game! SMC Observes Halloween By Lisa Albert Trick or Treat “From ghoulies and ghosties and other long legged beasties. And other things that go bump in the night, . . .” The Halloween Party given in the cafeteria this year was a great success. The festivities included dunking for apples and roasting marshmallows on the patio. The little dining room was turned into a haunted house, in which one could learn the horrid tale of the SMC girl, who hung herself on 3rd floor Smedes, several years ago. Mr. Grogan and the other cafeteria folk put on a delicious food spread, of fried chicken, corn dogs, vegetables, salads, pumpkin pie, and ice cream cones. ’The cafeteria itself was decorated in Halloween colors by several volunteers, with can dles oh the tables and streamers from one end to the other. There were four winners to the best costumes — a Roller Derbiest, two Hersey Kisses, Little Bo Peep, an Arab, and a Scarecrow. They won pumpkins filled with Halloween treats. The evening celebrated the ar rival of the Great Pumpkin (I hear he came this year) and St. Mary’s observed this notable occasion in grand style. ■ j : s' -V IT’S NOT HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME, IT’S WHETHER YOU WIN OR LOSE! — Aubrey Ford receives his prize at mid-court from Ms. Lou Jones. , T-- _ m t li R C \ SENIORS “AT THE HOP” — Flash Cadillac and The Conti nental Kids entertain the juniors with some “oldies but goodies!” ‘‘The Fifties” Swing For Jr.-Sr. Banquet By Kay Castleberry Monday, November 4th, the Seniors took the Juniors back twenty years in time to the “swinging Fifties.” The occa sion was the Junior-Senior Banquet, and the theme was Cruising With The Seniors. As the Juniors entered the cafe teria, they were serenaded by the Seniors with sounds of the Fifties. All of the Seniors were appropriately dressed for the occasion. The waitresses were wearing roller skates, and served the Juniors a delicious meal of steak and baked po tatoes. After the meal, the Seniors presented a review of Fifties music and dance. Emcee for the program was JoAnn Nance. 'The stage was set at JoAnn’s Soda Shop. To get things rolling, Fonzie (Christy Murphy) en tered on his motorcycle. Then some very special guests ap peared. Other “visitors” includ ed Miss Connolly (Sally Alston); Mr. Quinn (Kathryn Scott); Miss Ricks (Thalia Cooper); Miss Stamey (Deborah Walter); Mrs. Scoggin (Caroline Perry); and Mrs. Henderson (Van Eure). At this time, everybody sang “Happy Birthday” to Mrs. Henderson. Next, Flash Cadillac (Susan Rogers) and the Conti nental Kids (Margaret McAllis ter, Jane Roberts, Kay Carpenter and Alice Roberts) performed two of their greatest hits. Elvis (Francis Creel), the King of Rock and Roll, sang next and stole everyone’s heart. Another big hit. Little Richard (Martha Kelly), performed a number on the piano. Following Little Richard, The Platters, (Vickie Cockrum, Julie Walker, Sallie Shuping, Lu Howard, Betsy Roberts), everybody’s fa vorites, gave a presentation of their music. The Shirelles (Vickie Clark, Susan Doby, and Tippie McCann), a female group of the Fifties, were next in line. The music and dance review was ended with an appearance by Chubby Checker (Bailey Mc Lean). To complete the trip to the Fifties, the Mickey Mouse Club sang their theme song. Mr. Grogan cooperated with the Seniors, helping to make the banquet a success. Everyone had a great time, and the Juniors truly appreciated everything.
