The Belles of Saint Mary’s
CAMPUS NOTES
“April Showers” and the V. M. I. Commanders are
holding the spotlight for the Junior-Senior Prom on
April 29. The orchestra that established its popularity
at the Senior Dance will again swing forth amid um
brellas, daffodils, and a most realistic rainbow.
The Decorations Committee has made plans for a
rainy atmosphere in which green gud white will be the
predominating colors. It is hoped that both the theme
and the colors will lend a cooling atmosphere to counter
balance the extreme heat which is expected. Also, a
very lovely and colorful rainbow' will astonish the
dancers as they enter the gym.
Pages for the dance will be the presidents of the
underclassmen classes and those Juniors who volunteer
their services. The committees and their chairmen are:
Refreshments, Prancis Coxo; Invitations, Ann Collier;
Orchestra, Margaret Terrell; Decorations, Althea
llooff; Page, Cornelia Clark.

:■ ALUMNA .NEAVS,

this year at the University of North Carolina.
Ann Shook visited Saint Mary’s again on March 31
and April 1-2.
Elsa Winters, Connie Thigpen, Olive Cruikshank,
Tempe Yardborough, and “Blondie” Walker dropped
by to see us the night of April 5—just a miniature
reunion.
Jane Spruill, Beverley Vann, and Effie Flannagan
were here for a while on Wednesday afternoon, April 5.
On April 4 Mrs. George Denny of Scarsdale, N. Y.,

Miss Ruth Linebeeey
[This is the fifth in a series of sketches intended to
familiarize the student body with members of the
faculty.]
Miss Lineherry was born and reared in Raleigh, and
attended the local high school. Interested in both Eng
lish and mathematics, she finally chose the latter as her
major in college, preferring that subject instead of the
less clearly defined and hounded language study. She
was graduated from Meredith College and then ob
tained her master’s degree from Columbia University.
In 1927 she joined the faculty of Saint Mary’s in the
capacity of Mathematics teacher.
Miss Lineberry likes to play badminton. She also
enjoys movies, but like all of us, is provoked when the
cinema is ridiculous or not well manipulated. She is
famous for her large, brown, lovely eyes, and long
lashes. Her always neatly groomed hair is a decided
contrast to the touseled heads of some of her less con
cerned students, and her complexion is quite dark. She
is tall and slender, again a contrast to the rotund
cherubs of the class-room.
All of her friends, particularly her students, admire
her good-looking clothes. They are always in excellent
taste and she seems to prefer tailored ones for the class
room. Suits and shoes are a particular love, and one
student even went so far as to say she imagined Miss
Lineberry “had at least ninety of each.”
She is particularly interested in the student who is
willing to persist in trying to solve the math problem
of the moment for herself. She believes that inde-
