inquisitive dinner guest
It
seems that one of the dinner
guests at Mrs. Cruikshank’s was not
acquainted with just what Mrs.
t^ruikshank’s being president of the
?chool amounted to. So, not choos-
|ug the happiest phraseology possi-
uie, he asked:
Mrs. Cruikshank, just what do
you do at the school?” For a mo-
^aut that stopped her, but for no
ouger. Ske hesitated, and with one
her sweetest, most innocent, and
charming smiles, replied:
, .'^^y> I work in the office.” At
uich reply all her other guests, led
y her own daughters, shrieked and
with laughter till they cried,
lie Mrs. Cruikshank turned to

During one of the recent as^m-
bly gatherings, Wednesday, Febru-
ary 28, the Order of the Circle pre
sented to Mr. Kloman a book about
the chapel windows and other chapel
articles which have at one time or
another been left to the _ school
Painting their original drawings and
adding interesting bits concerning
each chapel window, ^
the Circle compiled this book last
year, but were unable to present it to
Mr. Kloman, since they were held
up until the completion of its ffind-
ine. This book is now in the library
on display, and is both beautiful and
interesting in its make-up.

At a recent meeting this year
Katherine Goold was made president
of the Letter Club. She has been
active in athletic activities since
coming to Saint Mary’s last year.
She has made the following All-Star
teams: Kickball, Swimming, Tennis,
and this year passed off her Senior
Life Saving. For entrance into the^
Letter Club one must make an All-’
Star team in a major sport or pass
Senior Life Saving.
Miss Haig’s piano pupils gave a
recital in her studio at five o clock
on March 7. This was the fourth in
a series of informal studio recitals
given this year by the pupils of each
teacher, respectively, to the piano
students and music faculty. Erovid-
ing the students with opportunities
to perform before a small audience,
these recitals have served to stimu
late interest and to give valuable
“platform” experience. Especially
worthy of mention on this program
were examples of a Beethoven sonato
and a Mozart concerto. Since most
of the piano students can take very
little time from other pursuits for
practice, works of this magnitude
are difficult of accomplishment ^d
have been rarely performed. De
bussy’s “Petite Suite,” prepared by
pupils of the piano ensemble class,
concluded the program.

Saint Mary’s. Her latest hobby is
photography. (By this time we had
decided that there isn’t anything she
can’t do.) “I bought a camera, and
read the directions, and then I just
took them,” she explained, showing
us time exposures that were unbe
lievably clear and beautiful.
And to all of you who get “so
bored” with life at school: Miss Har

as anyone, says, “No day is ever
long enough.”
OUR BELLES
Mary Guy (Belle to you) Boyb
From—^Durham, N. C.
Looks—^blonde hair and blue eyes.
Ambition—live on a farm and raise
chickens.
Pastimes—banging on a piano, sere
nading the bathtub.
Spends Spare Time—relaxin’.
Offices—^viee president Y. P. S. L.,
Hall Council.
Favorite Expression—“Oh, toot!”
Favorite Food—apple sauce.
Pet Hate—cats (both kinds).
Going Next Year—to Carolina.
Favorite Song—“Clair de Lune.”
Guy probably has one of the best
dispositions of any girl in school.
Her cheerfulness and amiability
have worn her many friends. She
holds two responsible offices and ca
pably fulfills her job. We like this
belle and wish there were more even
half as nice, as Guy.
SAINT SALLIES
“Now, Miss Harvey, tell us some
thing of your life,” we said careless
ly. “All right,” she laughed, and
told us. About a half hour later we
left, and we are still a little dazed.
Suffice it to say that one issue of
The Belles is not large enough to
print Miss Harvey’s story. It sounds
like a novel, and it is very wonder
ful. Ask her to tell you sometime;
you will never forget it.
By way of summary. Miss Harvey
was born in Durham, went to Ober-
lin College, to William and Mary,
and to Sargent, in Boston. She
worked her way through college, and
we mean worked 1 She says she
thinks it is a very great advantage
to go to a different section of the
country for your education. People
up North are more ambitious—and
make you more ambitious. And she
says this, too: “If you work, like
your work, or else stop doing it,
which is very good advice if you
tliiTik about it. She takes life too
seriously and she believes in being
on time. She is going to camp this
summer; her greatest ambition is to
have a camp of her own—it would
be “different,” she says. You have
all seen her silhouettes, she positive
ly works them out by mathematics.
She has infinite patience. If you’ve
ever tried to do poster printing (in
cidentally the little posture posters
all over school last week were hers
as are the swimming charts in the
gym), you know that patience is
what it takes—and she “loves” to do
it. She keeps scrapbooks, all kinds,
with the most adorable collections of
little pictures, with pictures and
write-ups on athletics, with all the
programs and place cards and write
ups of banquets and exhibitions at
At last. Spring Vacation is here!
After those weeks of planning after
Christmas, it’s really here beginning
tomorrow. Let’s everyone forget
about studies for a whole week. Ha!
Let’s! It’s really a heavenly idea to
think about! . . . Fiquet Pate’s name
is beginning to reappear on the
board with Op. 8 Chapel Hill. She’ll
really have to do some traveling,
though, to keep up with Toddy Boy
kin’s calls from the same place! . . .
Norsey Grant, Tassie Fleming, and
Mary Helen are running a close race
for Charlie "Wheatley’s affections.
At the moment, it looks as though
Norsey is in the lead. . . . Midwin
ters at State last week-end really
drew the girls. Some of those who
went were Betty "Wales, Julia
Booker, Amine Galbreath, Mary
Taylor, Novella Pope, and Kay Cas
tles. They’re all too numerous to
mention! . . . Congratulations to
Adelaide Curtis! She’s very capa
ble and should serve us as Avell as
she has the classes last year and
this! . . . Mary Frances Wilson just
can’t seem to get her dates straight.
Last week it was an S. P. E. and
she got slightly mixed up and called
him an S. A. E. That week-end at
Davidson must have affected her
memory! . . . Why in the world
didn’t Kaulbach accept that bid to
Midwinters ? It couldn’t be that she
just didn’t want to go! could it?
That’s what Pop Holt says about
her invitaton. . . . Hey, you Juniors,
dig down into those brains and think
up a good theme for the Junior-
Senior. It’s going to be a “raring”
time from the way people have
started inviting. ... For real smooth
ness, look at the case of Mary D.
White and Mary Helen Rodman.
Both receive calls but on different
phones. Who does he think he’s
fooling ? . . . Have a grand time next
week. Bye!
