Saturday morning, November 5th.
The 9th and 10th grade Saint Mary’s
girls head out of the Christ School
dining hall after filling their
stomachs with food and their eyes
with welcomed sights of the student
"bodies". They were greeted with a
friendly game of "pick-up" football
to watch, a refreshing change after
the strenuous van ride there.
The expected six hour trip turned
into an eight hour trip due to
frequent stops for directions,
nature's calling, more directions,
and even more directions. After the
reservations fell through, the group
traveled to three hotels before they
landed at the Ramada in
Hendersonville. This hotel was
actually closer to Christ School and
extremely nice.
Saturday morning, before brunch,
as the group pulled into the school
they saw the results of the boys'
week of pranks due to the upcoming
football game against their arch
rival, Asheville School. Their
banners for spirit put ours to shame.
Before the big football game the
girls piled into the vans and went for
a scenic ride down the Blue Ridge
Parkway stopping at the Folk Art
Center and Biltmore Shopping
Center. Then they attempted to go
to the game but once again were
misguided. By now the girls were
quite tired of the vans. When they
arrived at the football game, around
halftime, an alumni of Saint Mary's,
now a teacher at Christ School,
worked hard to introduce the girls
to many boys during the game.
More antics were witnessed when
pictures of an Asheville School
student/spy tied to the Christ School
flagpole were passed around. Other

stunts included burning a "Beat
Christ School" T-shirt during
halftime and an attempt to steal the
Asheville School flag.
Unfortunately Christ School lost the
game.
The girls then piled back into the
vans to go back to the hotel and
prepare for the dance. Preparing for
the mixer was almost as much fun as
the mixer itself. The girls rushed
back and forth from room to room
for advice, makeup, and clothes to
borrow. Then they were off.
The dance had already begun
when the Saint Mary's vans arrived,
so the girls hurried in so they
wouldn’t miss a thing. As it turned
out, no one seemed to be having
much fun when they came in. Once
the girls started dancing, though,
everyone followed their lead. The
real party had begun. The time flew
by as they danced and talked with
the guys. Before they knew it, they
had to leave. The event they had
been anticipating for weeks was now
over.
The expected brunch in the
morning fell through, so the mixer
was the last time the girls would see
the boys, but not the last time they
would hear from them. Since the
girls have gotten back, letters have
been coming in and going out, and .
phones have been ringing(here and
at Christ School). There are high
hopes that someday Christ School
and Saint Mary's will come together
again.
Food Drive Triumph!

The tension had been piling up for weeks. The food had been piling up
even faster. It seemed inevitable that the 9th and 10th graders would
come out on top in the Food Drive. Their hearts are obviously as big as
their spirit.
As soon as the 9th and 10th graders were challenged to collect the most
food for the Wake County Relief Food Drive, they decided to win. By
bringing in containers from the size of a soda can to a 61b. can of pinto
beans, they have outdone everyone. With the promise of a chapel cut
they strived to be the best.
It's nice to know that people are so willing and excited to give during the
holiday season.
