^lalaprop, Betty Cleavenger gave an excellent por-
fayal with her “select words, so ingeniously mis
applied, without being mispronounced.’’ Eebecca
I'ornian was a beautiful as well as a convincing

VALENTINE’S CELEBRATED WITH DINNER
Tuesday night, February 15, Mrs. Marriott, Miss
Brown, and the kitchen staff outdid themselves to
serve a beautiful and delicious Valentine dinner.
Pink lights, vases of sweet peas on pink lace paper,
and two pink candles for each table created a festive
atmosphere. Everyone dressed in evening clothes
and entered into the holiday spirit. Such a dinner 1
The chicken salad fairly melted in one’s mouth, and
that hot buttered toast — more than one person
sighed, “How I wish we could have it like this every
morning for breakfast! ’ ’ A waiter brought an extra
plate of ice cream to a certain table, and not a girl
was able to eat a bit of it! They, like everyone else,
had reached the point where they could .say with
that little boy, “1 can still chew, but I can’t swal
low.’’ Many visitors enjoyed the supper with Saint
Mary’s students, and the event was important
enough to bring our special invalid, Betsy Thomas,
back into the ,dining room; for although Betsy has
been in school fot several weeks, she has been liv
ing and taking her meals at the infirmary. We are
glad to have her back again!
FACULTY MAKES INFORMATION SURVEY
For the next few weeks, students should be on
lookout for any last minute information they can
store into their, shall we say, already overtaxed
brains. The faculty, probably because its members
have become anxious about the average Saint Mary’s
intelligence after looking into our usually blank and
sleepy faces for the past semester, is going to quiz
the student body to determine the general level of
information about religion and philosophy, science,
geography, history, current events, art, music, litera
ture, vocabulary, and general topics. The first of
the series of tests was given Wednesday morning on
the religion, science, and geography sections. Let’s
show ’em, students! We aren’t so dumb—-we hope.
