NEW DINING ROOM SONG
111 assembly last Wednesday morning, Mr Jones
practiced with the student body a new song to be sung
in the dining room to returning alumnae. I he wor^
of the song were written by Merrie Haynes and the
music arranged by Mr. Jones. It is requested that
everyone learn these words so that the song may e
Used soon:
{Name of person) we’re glad to see you;
Glad to have you back again.
Won’t you stand and let us greet you ?
All Saint Mary’s is your friend.
The literary societies are now working on songs to be
sung on various other occasions.
ASSEMBLY PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL
The first in the new series of assembly programs was
presented last Friday by the Order of The Circle. The
program combined educational news and humorous
interludes in the form of a radio program broadcast
from the imaginary station WSMS. High lights from
foreign, national and local news, and the world of
Sports and style, were intermingled with announcements
and musical selections.
From now on different organizations in the school
will present programs each week. The Sigma Lambda
literary society is first on the list with a Professor
Quiz” to be given on Friday, February 3.
FACULTY TEA
As is their annual custom, members of the Saint
Mary’s faculty entertained at tea for their Ealeigh
friends on Thursday afternoon, January 19. In the
receiving line were Mrs. Cruikshank, Mrs. Penick, Mr.
and Mrs. Kloman, Mr. and Mrs. Tucker, Miss Davis,
and the new members of .the faculty this year: Miss
Goss, Miss Horn, Miss Lassiter, and Miss Williamson.
Miss Sutton, Miss Vann, Miss Weise, and Miss Spruill
poured tea and several of the day and resident students
assisted in serving. The parlor was decorated with
large vases of roses and mixed flowers, and the mantle-
piece was banked with ferns. A gratifying number of
Saint Mary’s friends attended the reception.
GYIM NOTES
At the first basketball practice for this year, twenty-
eight girls were present. Miss Harvey was pleased
with this group, but would like to have even more.
Basketball is a major sport, which gives individual and
club points when the final teams are picked and the
Sigma-Mu games are played. The tumbling class also
met for the first time last week, and although the ones
there enjoyed it, many more are needed. Tumbling is
excellent recreation and exercise.
ALUMNA NEWS
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Johnson from Chicago were here
for a very short while on Friday, January 13. Before
her recent marriage, Mrs. Johnson was Miss Virginia
Brock from Chicago.
Cuba Silver, one of the last year’s day-students, was
at Saint Mary’s Saturday night, January 14.
On Sunday, January 15, we were glad to have Betty
Sibley here, but she stayed such a few minutes that very
few saw her. Come back again, Betty!
Jane Vann was here telling everyone “hello” on Fri
day, January 20.
Last Saturday morning Marjorie England was on
the campus. Marjorie comes over to use Saint Mary’s
library quite often. Everyone is always glad to see
her around.
Too, last Saturday, while the annual pictures were
being taken, Lillie Eobertson stopped by to see us.
Lillie went on to Chapel Hill for Saturday night, but
came over again on Sunday.
On Saturday night, January 14, a beautiful wedding
took place in Saint Mary’s Chapel. The bride was
the former Miss Mary Louise Parker, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Linus Marcellus Parker of Ealeigh, who was
married to Mr. George M. Fountain, Jr., of Tarboro.
TOWN GIRLS’ GAB
Just one more day of examinations and then the local
girls can stop cramming and worrying about passing
History, English, Math., and the like until May. And
with the new term, the Ealeigh belles have resolved to
concentrate more on studies so that when exam time
comes again they will not need any last-minute cram-
ming. -11
Many of the parents of the day students enjoyed the
lovely tea which was given by the faculty of Saint
Mary’s. Mary Elizabeth Hash, Charlotte Miller, and
Susanne Leinster were among the girls who assisted in
serving.
Miss Harvey is very anxious for many of the day
students to come out for tumbling and basketball prac
tice. The Sigma’s and the Mu’s have separate teams
and it’s grand to have the Ealeighites show an interest
in the games.
Overheard in the Day Students’ room were various
wails over exams, among them. Page Eatman’s “We
learned that if you can’t make a speech, then tell a
story, and if you can’t tell a story, well just quit.”
And that’s our predicament. We can’t tell a story or
write any news unless the Day Students get together
and do something worth writing about. Come on,
girls, let’s accomplish something worth writing about
this semester!
