Future Journalists Convene
In Raleigh At Annual Affair
Saint Mary’s, State, and Peace Enter
tain N. C. Collegiate Press Association
The North Carolina Collegiate Press Asso
ciation met at Sir Walter Hotel on November
2, 3, and 4. N. C. State College, Peace Junior
College, and Saint Mary’s were host and
hostesses. They opened the convention on
Thursday night by entertaining the delegates
at a reception in the Manteo Room of the Sir
Walter.
On Friday there were conferences all day
for the business managers, editors of maga
zines, newspapers, and year book. The repre
sentatives from the various colleges in North
Carolina attended these meetings to obtain in
formation about their work and to get sugges
tions about improving their own publications.
Friday night a banquet was held in the
Roanoke Room of the hotel. Mr. Carl Goerch
of Raleigh was the guest speaker for the eve
ning and gave a delightful talk to the boys and
girls on “Journalism.” He told of some of his
experiences, and said; “Journalism is one of
the most fascinating of all vocations.” He
gave a few points on how to get a job on the
newspaper, if you were good enough. It was
niost interesting and helpful in many ways.
After the banquet. Bill Vandendrese and his
orchestra played for the dance from 9 until
2 o’clock.
Saturday morning there were conferences
and business meetings. Someone suggested that
the Association meet in Charlotte the next time,
tut as there were no representatives from
Charlotte to accept, no definite place was set
for the next meeting.
Library Observes Book Week
Last Tuesday night, November 14, Miss
Haig and Mr. Moore, in commemoration of
National Book Week, entertained the faculty
and students in the library. Mrs. H. B. Brown,
Saint Mary’s Librarian, introduced the two
speakers.
As Miss Haig showed moving pictures of her
trip abroad in 1938, she talked, verbally illus
trating by her personal experiences, as each
different scene appeared. Her talk was es
pecially interesting for Book Week because she
expressed in her individual manner the ancient
world and its bearings upon us today.
Mr. Moore then made a talk of knowledge
as a whole and of the early beginnings of
knowledge in written form. He called knowl-
edge a garden of the thought of man. “Some
people think,” he added, “that reading books
is an indulgence of the idle rich.” He spoke
of men, rather than actual, materialistic things.
He reminded them that these very thoughts
were closely associated with the ancient world
and their ideas. From this introduction he
carried his audience mentally back to the civi
lizations where the first forms of writing took
place, and with rapidity he reviewed the his
tory of bookmaking and the invention of print-
ing in the fifteenth century.

Animal Life
One thing we love about Saint Mary’s is the
casual way the dogs and cats amble in and out.
The other day we trudged up the steps going
to dinner. Suddenly we looked up and found
ourselves nose to nose with a gigantic creature
that (on moving back to get perspective) we
found to be a dog. He was just standing on
the landing enjoying life and things. We
waited a moment to see if he might not move,
but we filially decided to move ourselves. And
then everybody knows about the cat that wan
dered into church the other Sunday, and vied
with Mr. Kloman for attention. He (the cat)
was quite taken back when it was suggested
that he be taken outside. The climax probably
came the other day, though. Several of the
expression students were having a clap in Miss
Davis’ room. Miss Davis was talking about
make-up when suddenly she burst forth with,
“Pretty, pretty, pretty!” Julia Booker glanced
around self-consciously, and several of the
others looked a little uncertain, but it seems
that Miss Davis was just soothing the ruffled
feelings of the pet canary. Yes, sir, that’s
what we like about Saint Mary’s—the animal
life.
Spirited Session Prevails As
Political Science Club Meets
The Political Science Club convened as the
House of Representatives of the General As
sembly of North Carolina at 6:45 Sunday
night in Mr. Guess’ classroom. The entire
program was conducted as a typical session
of the House. President Pope presided as
speaker. Bills advocating larger salaries for
teachers, abolition of road signs for advertis
ing, and a club house for Saint Mary’s were
proposed by Mary Helen Rodman, Page Mar
shall, Norma Large, Joyce Powell, Phyllis Gat
ling, and Tibbie Tucker, who had attended the
Student Legislature held in Raleigh the previ
ous week. Quite a bit of opposition arose, es
pecially to the last named bill. Miss Large’s
humorous interpretation of questions and her
corresponding humorous replies were quite
good. Such terms as “rising vote,” “division of
the House,” and “rising to a point of infor
mation” were used in order to make the stu
dents more familiar with legislature procedure
in our government.
Saint Mary’s Participates
In Recreational Sports Day
Greensboro, Woman’s College, and
Carolina Also Take Part In Events;
Will Become Annual Feature
Last Saturday, November 11, Saint Mary’s
enthusiastically entered the Recreational Sports
Play Day held at Woman’s College in Greens
boro, N. C. Combined with this was Hockey
Day, in which Saint Mary’s took an active
part. Each school, upon arrival, was placed
on either of two teams: The Blue and the Red.
In the Recreational Sports Saint Mary’s and
W. C. made up the Blue team; Greensboro
College and Carolina, the Red team. The pur
pose of the competition was to win for the
team, not for the individual schools.
Previously, Play Days for the different girls’
colleges in North Carolina have been tentative,
but at a meeting of all the presidents of each
Athletic Association from the separate schools
it was suggested that this event be an annual
affair. Saint Mary’s hopes to be able to par
ticipate in making this plan a successful one.
The W. C. girls made delightful hostesses, and
were aided by the anticipation of each girl
participating during the day.
A selected group of Saint Mary’s girls. Miss
Harvey, and Miss Goss boarded their special
bus last Saturday morning, and stopped at
Meredith where they picked up eleven other
girls, who were to play hockey at Greensboro,
and their instructor. On the way over, the
different groups got acquainted by singing,
talking, and playing games. About 10:15 they
arrived at Woman’s College, where W. C. girls,
who acted as hostesses throughout the day*
greeted them.
The sports that morning Avere Badminton,
box hockey, horseshoes, shuffle-board, and table
tennis._ In the afternoon, the groups still di
vided into their respected teams, the Red and
the Blue, took part in archery, golf, tennis, and
SAVimming relays.
Entirely different groups made up the Reds
Blues for hockey. For the whole day,
me Blues won in the recreational sports; the
Reds, in hockey.
(Hrls from Saint Mary’s who participated
m Flay Day were; Carter (Ann), Christian,
Dunnzelmann, Gant (Caci), Gould, Hatfield,
Hochenedel, Hood, Kaulbach, Kendrick, Noble
Ragland, Trotter, and Tucker. Miss Harvey
and Miss Goss were the supervisors.
Small Honor Council Chosen
The purpose of the amendment to the Con
stitution providing for an Honor Council of
only seven members was to promote quicker
and better work. Now a girl is elected spe-
cifacally to an Honor Council position and does
not tulfall this office as a by-product of another.
In order that the Council may be more efficient
the student body has chosen girls who are es
pecially qualified and who Avill devote their
time to their Honor Council duties
Becky B^nhill and Cornelia ciark, from
the_ Senior Class, Margaret Kitchin and Sara
Nair, from the Junior Class, Nancy Martin
trom the underclassmen, and Betty Winhorne,
from the Day Students, Mary Helen Rodman,
president of the _ Student Body, and Tibbie
iucker, vice president, now compose the body
which IS the Supreme Court of our Student
Government.
