FIRST VICE PRESIDENT ELECTED
On May 25, in Holt Hall parlor, final elections were
held to decide who was to be the next year’s first vice
president of the Student Body and Sarah Sawyer was
elected. This decision was reached after several elec
tions in which Aylctt Putney and Prances Warren were
the opponents.
The office of the first vice president is a newly created
office this year. The duties of the person will be to
have charge of the orientation of new students and be
ohairman of the committee for the revision of the Con
stitution.
It is believed that Sarah Avill be very efficient in her
office. Since she has been at Saint Mary’s she has dis-
finguished herself as an excellent student by making
honor roll every month and being a member of the
literary society, and as a leader by being made a ™om-
her of the Circle. May she have the support of the
school in her new office. •
SENIORS SPONSOR SCHOOL P.LRTY
On Saturday, May 21, in the parlor. Saint Mary’s
Seniors sponsored the tiventy-sei’enth ^ annual schoo
Party. After the programs were distributed and the
classes had seated themselves together, the Seniors,
beautifully and tastefully attired in their class dresses,
^larched. in and took their seats in alphabetical order
and the program began.
In true Saint Mary’s spirit, the first item on the pro-
Si’am was “Hail, Saint Mary’s,” sung gayly by the
entire student body. Following this, Tudie gave a
Ii'iendly welcome to all in tone and attitude that made
everyone happy and sad at the same time. In answer
Tudie’s speech, the classes sang in turn their praise
cl the Senior class and the school. All the A’olume,
spirit, and joy of Saint Mary’s students’ A-oices nms
Siven to the singing of those songs. And the Seniors,
Ico, iix their song shoAved the true spirit of their class.
The next great eA^ent Avas the turning OA’er of the
School hooks to Helen Montgomery by Mary Louise.
If Avas a disinterested person avIio did not feel the sig-
^lificancc of this eA^ent. The support and admiration
^''hich has been Mary Louise’s all this year, Avill cer-
ffiinly he Helen’s next year.

presented to Mrs. Cruikshank a magazine rack from
the student body. Then Hallie ToAvnes gave Mary
Louise a locket in appreciation of her service and devo
tion this year. And the Seniors gave a make-up kit to
a very appreciative Tudie Neff.
After the serious part of the program was over, the
Seniors set out earnestly to entertain the guests and in
that task they succeeded admirably. Anne Shook’s

description of. the Seniors. This Avas folloAved by a

Senior, the Pedagogue Parade, the Swing Sisters,

THE DRIVE COMMITTEE
In assembly on Thursday morning, Mary Louise
Eiddick made an announcement Avhich was joyfully
Avelcomed by all. Next year there will be a new com
mittee at Saint Mary’s, the Drive Committee. The
chairman Avill be named by the student body, and the
members Avill be chosen by the chairman. With this
committee at Avork, many beneficial and AvorthAvhile
things can be accomplished Avhich have long been
needed. The committee’s first project Avill probably bo
a drive for a ncAV library, as the present one is too
small and inadequate. 1938-39 Avill be the trial year
for this committee, and if it is a success the chairman
ship Avill become a major ofiice to he filled by election.
This Avill be a Avonderful opportunity for Saint Mary’s
students to prove that they are Avilling to Avork for the
things they Avant, and the things which Avill make their
school a better and §, happier one.
