WATTERS CHOSEN HEAD OF Y. P. S. L. FOR COMING YEAR STENHOUSE IS SECRETARY They Succeeded Gordon and Hayes At Last Meeting Secretary of Hall Council Suc ceeds Kendrick as Chairman of the Drive for the Centennial Marie Watters is the newly elected President of the Young People’s Service League for the year 1940-41. She was the winner over Helen Ford in the reelection on May 8. Marjorie Stenhouse will be the Secretary-Tr^surCT fov Ibe coming year. The Vice President will be elected from the new stu dents next year. Marie, one of our Chapel Hill girls, takes an active interest in fvery thing that goes on around school. She is a valuable member of the Choir and Glee Cbib and is well liked by all the students She has shown her capability by participation in the various pr grams of the Y. P. S. L. this year. Marjorie Stenhouse is one of the girls that has a big sister here at school. Marjorie has many irienos at Saint Mary’s and has proved herself capable of fulfilling the duties of the office she now holds. B.A.P.’s have won the cup twice and this year makes the third time The name of the society winning the highest number of points is engraved on Ibe side the cup. So far the Sigma Lambda side is blank, but its members ha\e high hopes for next year. The Drive Committee of 1940 announces Bettie Vann as its new leader for 1941. This decision was an especially difficult one to make since this position is different from any other office in school. At the first of this past fall, Bettie was one of the few new girls chosen to be on the temporary Drive Committee, and when the final group was selected she rated high in both ability and interest and remained on the Drive Com mittee. This year Bettie held the important position of Secretary of the Hall Council, a position which she has fulfilled faithfully and well. The purpose of the Drive for the Centennial in ’42 lies in the following two statements: Saint Mary’s students, faculty, and alumniB should be working to gether toward one project by which the school may be improved and bettered. The Drive Commit tee, sponsoring this same project, presents entertainments for the in terest and enjoyment of students, faculty, and alumnse. The essence of the Drive is a love for Saint Mary’s. Congratulations to Bettie! This year’s Drive is certain that every one will co-operate with her next year. May Day Dawns Bleak But Brightens for Pro duction of “Cargoes Beautiful Pageant Goes Off Very- Well and is Given Enthusiastic Reception By Large Crowd VANN CHOSEN TO HEAD DRIVE COM MITTEE NEXT YEAR May Day at Saint Mary’s has come and gone. It was the color ful climax to many weeks of prac tice and work on the part of a few members of the faculty and innumerable student participants. In the ensuing paragraphs we should like to publish several criti cisms made by certain of the fac ulty and the student body, with regard to the variety of the dances, the originality of the cos tumes, and the production as a whole. Some of these opinions be long to persons directly connected with the production and others who have had no part in it. Mrs. Cruikshank said, “I liked the idea of selecting a fine poem as a basis of the May Day this year. The mechanics and the dances of the production were the best we have had, and I think that the costumes were the highlight of the program. The music Avas very well adapted to the theme of the pageant, and was very much improved by the amplifying sys tem. I do not object to the de parture from the traditional May Day exercises.” Miss Goss, who produced the pageant, modestly said, “I was very pleased with it, and I think it was such a great success because of the co-operation of all the com mittees and participants. I felt as though I had never seen it before and just sat back and enjoyed it. I want to thank everybody for their co-operation.” “After I got out there,” Kay Castles, the May Queen, said, “I was having such a good time I hated to see it end. Every dance clicked, and the whole thing was more elaborate and beautiful than I had ever dreamed it would be. It was just the biggest thrill I’ve ever had!” Miss Jones, who helped work out the whole idea, was pleased. “Well, I thought it was particu larly good in its color scheme, both in the costumes of the dances and in the effect of the court. Some of the dances were especially good—coal and ivory were both imaginative and effective. The transformation of the May Queen was exceptionally good.”
