LITERARY SOCIETIES GIVE BANQUET
On Thursday night, May 12, the Sigma Lambda and
E. A. P. Literary Societies held their annual banquet
in the Hotel Carolina. This banquet, a tradition at
Saint Mary’s, was the last meeting of the year, at which
tile new members were initiated^ the new otncers an-
nounced, the final literary award given, and farewell
said by the Seniors. _ . on
The new members initiated at this time were ^nran
Sawyer, Hallie Townes, Virginia Allison, Helen Mont-
Soniery, and Peggy Hopkins. Their initiations uere
elaborate and rather difficult, but were performed well.
A new feature this year was the invitation to former
aiembers of the societies, now faculty members, to at-
•^end the banquet. Those people, who included Miss
Sutton, Miss Allan, Miss Spruill, were required to re
initiate themselves by taking off students, iliss Jones,
alumna, and Mr. Moore also performed.
The presidents for next year were announced to be
iielen Holt for the E. A. P.’s and Mary Shepherd
Quintard for the Sigma Lambda’s, who gave to the re
aring officers presents in gratitude for their hard work.
Gifts were also presented to Miss Jones and Mi. * ooie.
The announcement of the winners of the short
contest found Sarah Sawyer, an E. A. 1., with tirst
place, Patsy Jones, a Sigma Lambda, with second, and
Helen Holt, an E. A. P., with third. The final score
Hr the year showed the E. A. P.’s winners of the new
«dp which has been so graciously given the societies by
their retiring presidents, Jean Rlouiit and Anne L)a%v-
fon. The chairman of the program committee for the
banquet was Helen Noell, and Jean Miller had charge
initiation plans. Jean Rlouiit made the welcoming
address, Louise Jordan welcomed the new members
^®ggy Hopkins responded for the new members, and
Eatsy Jones made the final farewell.
After the regular program, which included the read-
^ag by the winners of their short stories, various indi-
’^'idual contributions to the hilarity of the evening were
ftiade. The old members as a whole jiresented their
yersion of “Snow White” and .several girls performed
bhe excellent dinner, too, cannot be overlooked, tor it
"’as enjoyed to the last bit by every banqueter, llie
aveuing was over before anyone could realize it and
a^'eryone returned to school, alri'ady anticipating next
year’s banquet.

MRS. CRUIKSHANK ENTERTAINS SENIORS
After the Junior-Senior dance on Saturday, May 7,
the Seniors with their dates were invited to Mrs. Cruik-
shank’s home, where a delightful supper was served
informally on the porch, and in the several rooms
thrown en suite for the occasion. After a delicious
supper of chicken salad, olives, beaten biscuits with
ham, chocolate cake and coffee, the boys escorted the
girls to Holt Hall, where reluctant good-byes were said.
JUNIOR-SENIOR DANCE
Saturday, May 7, was a great day at Saint Mary’s.
The long anticipated annual Junior-Senior dance was
held in the gym. And whgt a dance it was!
It ought to have been wonderful, though, because the
Decoration Committee and willing helpers spent many
long hours of toil and labor on the gym. Their eneigy
was well spent, for the gym was not the place which we
know; it was a penthouse on Fifth Avenue in the ligh
of a full moon with millions of stars scattered through
the heavens. i
After the dance started, everyone realized how foolish
her worries had been. The fact was that very few
girls were able to eat much dinner that night and some
started a nervous fast on Saturday morning. There
was one word that inevitably rose m the minds of every
one All the girls had mental pictures of being out on
the dance floor with the same boy for hours on end.
However, the dance went over with a bang and we
salute the Junior Class for one of the most successful
dances ever held at Saint Mary’s.
Delicious fruit punch was served throughout the
evening to hot, thirsty dancers.
The pages for the dance were: Helen Lu Divers,
Dorothy Diggs, Betty Beasley, Martha Blythe, Jvonne
Rumfeldt, Lucille Mitchell, Janet James, Frances
Smith, Kay Castles, Wyc Allan, Becky Lockwood
Maxine Hoffman, Elise Martin, and also several
J uniors.
