The Belles of Saint Mary’s
a good recitation, and she had a pleasant afternoon to
look forward to, so she was at peace with the world.
But she does have lots of likes—but most particularly
for good-looking clothes, provided they’re not too ex
treme. Miss Weise’s admiration of smart clothes is
obvious because she wears such attractive outfits herself.
She likes to knit, to sew, and to cook.
Miss Weise would like to do some work in French
Conversation during this next summer, but that is not
definite as yet. If given the ways and means for an
improvement at Saint Mary’s, she would like to build a
new set of classrooms which would feature the science
laboratories.
She is famous for her coal black hair, her height (or
lack of it), the black evening dress with which she
wears the red and green bracelets, her faithful attend
ance at chapel, and her French Survey Course.
OUR BELLES
Euth Frances Paemelee Fish
Home—Eidgewood, Hew Jersey.
Age—19.
Height—5 ft., 6^ in.
Eyes—blue.
Hair—^brownish (as she puts it).
Usually seen—trying to act thoughtful and pensive.
Pet aversion—urging herself to be a studious girl.
Odd dislike—taking her hair down in the morning. (If
it isn’t smart enough to come down by itself, leave
it up.)
Odd like-Alusty eyeglasses.
Favorite color—-robin’s egg blue.
Favorite article of dress—her little white moccasins.
Ambition—to be thin.
Favorite sport—baseball (you know Babe Euth Fish).
Idea of heaven—vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce.
Idea of misery—hiking, even down town.
Frances, better known as Fish, is the only resident
student that has been at Saint Mary’s five years. She
has seen classes come and go, until now it is her class
that is going. Fish is noted for her beautiful voice.
We have all listened to her exquisite solos in chapel,
and she will long live in our memories for the parts
she took in the operettas. (Will you ever forget when
she leaped over that barrel?) Deutscher Verein has
found her services as secretary and treasurer valuable
this year. The Mu’s are grateful to her for being such
an inspiring cheer leader, a position she held in 1936,
’37, ’38, and ’39. Frances is a member of the Dra
matic Club, which is just another point to prove her
versatility. We are glad Fish has kept coming back to
Saint Mary’s and it’s too bad she can’t come back for
a sixth year.
Mary Watson Prince
Nickname—just Watson.
Home—day student.
Age—17. - .
Eyes—spotted greenish blue.
Bound for—Byrn Mawr next year.
Spends spare time—up on the roof.
Gets maddest—when she can’t get that “Sybil Lytle”
tan.
Pet dislikes—Chinese checkers, translating Latin, char
treuse.
Pastime—dancing.
Favorite song—“What Is This Thing Called Love ?”
Pet like—big bows.
Favorite expression—“How could you do it?”
“Watson” just seems to have that certain something.
I suspect that it’s those sparkling eyes, but others say
she’s in the Honor Group of English M. Only a special
few rate that! Then, she sings, too. “Watson” warbled
her way through Patience very nicely. But that’s not
all; she finds time to prom-foot at Wake Forest or State
every week-end. Guess we can sum it all up by saying
that we’re really going to miss this Honor Eoll student
next year.
TINKLES
The posting of the exam schedule really struck terror
into a few hearts. It made the dreaded ordeal so emi
nent. . . . The Junior-Senior couldn’t have been better.
Whoever thought up the “April Showers” idea was
really psychic. Or how could they have known that the
cool, refreshing, “Eain” effect would be ideal for such a
hot night ? . . . Lib Saunders was mighty glad when she
found her Culver pin . . . and I don’t blame her. . . .
And what are you going to do this summer? Phyllis,
Martha, Woodie, and plenty others are June-Weeking
at Annapolis right after the 30th. And half of Saint
Mary’s will reunion at State for finals.... Honest, you’d
think after nine months of us, we’d be sick of each
other, you’d think. . . . Chapel Hill, prepare 1 Saint
Mary’s is coming to visit to see you for Junior-Seniors
this week-end. Eeally, it seems to me that more girls
go over every time. . . . Wasn’t it good to see all our
good old last year’s people back for May Day? In fact,
wasn’t May Day nice all the way around ? I think one
of the very nicest compliments was what Miss Sutton,
a real connoisseur of Saint Mary’s May Days, said.
She declared it was without a doubt the prettiest one
she had ever seen. And did you hear Flossie Withers’
little brother’s comment? Somebody asked him if he
didn’t think the “quips and cranks” were the best things
in the pageant. “No,” replied the brother firmly. When
asked what he thought was the best thing, he answered,
“The queen, of course—and Flossie.” . . . Did you too
get mixed up and think that you were seeing double
last week-end when Anne Flowe had a visitor. I did.
I thought Anne was twins. Their hair (or is it hairs?)
was the exact same color. I didn’t think it could
happen. . . . Here are some more cute snatches from a
1914 Muse: “M. (speaking to girl next to her) ‘You’re
the biggest dunce in school.’ Teacher (indignant at the
lack of interest in class), ‘You seem to forget that I am
in the room.’ ” Here’s a brain teaser for you (read
aloud) : “A sheet of paper = an ink lined plane. An
inclined plane = a slope up. A slow pup = a lazy dog.
Therefore, a sheet of paper = a lazy dog.” I think I’ll
leave on that one.
ON CAMPUS FOR MAY DAY
Instead of the ole Alumnse News this week, “Yours
truly” gives you the names of previous Saint Mary’s
girls who visited us on May Day. Seeing so many old
and familiar faces on the campus again was quite a
treat. Those girls were Mary Louise Eiddick, Jo Pope,
Ann Shook, Tudie Nell, Helen Noell, Patsy Jones,
Olive Cruikshank, Connie Thigpen, Sallie MacNider,
Betty Wright, Louise Jordan, Mary Jane Yeatman,
Jean Ballenger, Louise Hall, Elizabeth Holmes, and
Cornelia Gillam. We’re all for more May Days!
