The Belles of Saint Mary’s
THE NEIGHBORS SAY—
Violets are red
Roses are blue
Think of the postage
I spent on you.
—The Alchemist, Brenau.
My nose doesn’t breathe,
It doesn’t smell,
It doesn’t feel
Very well.
I am discouraged
With my nose—
The only thing it
Does is blows!
—The Rotunda, Farmville
State Teachers College.
Honest Resolutions
I’ll study each night the whole year thru-
Unless there’s something else to do!
School nights I’ll never stay out late—
Except, of course, special date.,
All sweets this year I’ll never see—
Unless somehow they’re offered me!
I’ll do a good deed every day—
If only one will come my way!
Hot anyone will I make sad—
Unless he wrongly makes me mad!
’Most everything that’s good I’ll do—
That is, if I remember to!
—The Alchemist, Brenau College.
TINKEES
A unique incident occurred to one of our Saint
Mary’s girls the other day on her way to the mail box.
As she was leaving Smedes, some man, who had just
driven up, stopped and asked her to take two copies of
“Les Miserables” to the library for him. He said he
had been cleaning out his library and had found these
two Saint Mary’s books which had been stored away
there for at least ten years! . . . When we changed tables
after the first month. Palmer landed at the right of
Miss Morrison. Said the teacher, “Palmer, whose hall
are you living on this year?^^ Palmer gasped and
grinned. “Yours, Miss Morrison!” . . . Miss Horn was
cutting across the lawn in a hurry to catch a bus. Is
it all right to walk on the grass Erwin said, “Sure.
But if you come to a tree step aside.” . . . Miss Goss
first table tried to make a good impression. “I’m crazy
about Largo, aren’t you?” “Don’t you just love the
Pilgrim’s Chorus?’ “Well, to tell you the truth, said
Miss Goss, “I prefer Flat Foot Floogie.” . . . Have you
heard that in Chapel Hill they’re cultivating the Waltz?
That’s right. The Little Apple will soon have ban a
thing of the past. . . . When you see a girl who talks
baby-talk, don’t think she’s crazy. She’s just from first
floor Holt. And if she does it to a saleslady down town,
don’t worry. It will become a habit, you know. Don’t
frown at the girls who talk like gun-molls, or try to pin
something on their past. Third floor girls talk like that.
Maybe they’re getting a running start in the future.
Who knows? The second floor has a foreign accent.
What country? Call it what you like.
PEALS AND REPEALS
Speaking of embarrassing experiences, ask MaiJ
Connally about the detective set, complete with hand
cuffs and toy guns, that she got as an appreciation gift-
Second floor West Wing tells me she didn’t really need
it; she musta been a pretty good hall president! • • •
Mary Parsley Williams has been having quite a bit ot
trouble lately about sleeping in classes. Mrs. Cruik-
shank said that it just wasn’t the thing to do! _ Sweet
dreams. Parsley! . . . And then there was the girl who
couldn’t decide between the Yale-Harvard game or
V. E. S. homecomings, both the same week-end. Ho
Hum! . . . The Saint Mary’s theme song is getting
mighty popular all of a sudden. To the tune of the
Washington-Lee alma mater, you can hear almost any
Belle humming, “We are the ” Oh, well, y’all know
it. . . . Some girl had us all seared to death in Science
Lab the other day. . . . The school’s gonna be pretty
empty this week-end, what with Fall Germans at Caro
lina cornin’ off. From what I’ve heard. Saint Mary^®
will be well represented at Chapel Hill. . . . The prob
lem of “what to give him for Christmas” has been
solved in a simple way by Mallie and Midge. Honest,
they’ve got the whole school started on a knitting spree •
Ask Duff about the mouse in her room the other
night. Emmy Lou says that not even cheese would lure
him out of his hole. So, tired of his constant gnawing,
they had a free-for-all Thursday night and Anally cor
nered him! That was really somepin’. Peggy was up
on top of the table, and the rest of second floor West
Wing was too scared to help Duff out; so she turned out
to be THE heroine of the scene. . . . Margaret Terrell ®
been doin’ OK with one of ’em from V. P. I. ’Course
v’all know that’s where she went this past week-end-
. . Becky’s got “Carolina’s gift to the girls” wrapped
it be?
around all ten liT Angers! Uh-huh, he’s the one hangiu
around on Sunday afternoons. P.S.—He’s from Win
ston-Salem and goes hy the last name of Haines. . • •
Mary Robertson’s older brother from Carolina made
quite a hit with that Brooks gal. They tell me she
“confessed” within two minutes after she’d met him-
And when she found out he wrestled, it was love at first
sight! Maybe he’ll show you some of his “holds” one
of these days!
It seems that when Margaret sends a telegram the
receiver isn’t the only one that knows the content. I'b®
S. P. E.’s got in on the last one by a cross in the wires-
To say nothing of the girls hanging around. . . . They
say it causes great mental stress for a girl to lose n
fraternity pin. Ask Sheppy. . . . Lossie really strained
a point to get to Charlotte this week-end. She returns
at 4:30 a.m. Mondav. . . . Why didn’t Put accept her
invitation to V. M. I.? Most girls would jump at the
opportunity. . . . After the V. M. I. Cadets were on
radio Thursday, there was a strong vote for the V. M.
commanders to play for the senior dance. . . . By t
way, Peggy is sojourning there this week-end. . -
Harriett, Becky, Martha, and Put are living for Decein'
her 17. ■ That that is the beginning of the holidays
only a sideline, as they are all going to Annapolis that
week-end. . . . Martha is now corresponding with four
boys at the IT. S. X. A. Pretty good work for one
week-end! . . . Just what are Erwin’s views on love-
I can’t make her tell!,- - - Helen Holt is all aflutter
about her week-end at home. She doesn’t have much to
say about it, but she has that far-away look in her eye®-
