The Belles of Saint Mary’s
that end, we have tried to teach
you to listen to music, to look at a
picture, and hear and see what
soothes or exhilarates your spirit
as occasion requires. Your study
of history has been designed to
give you an appreciation of what
your ancestors, immediate and re
mote, have done to make your life
what it is; to foster the feeling
that you are “the heir of all the
ages’’; to help you to realize your
responsibility to your own genera
tion and to the generations that
will come after you.
Every day, in formal or in
formal fashion, the teachings of
the Christian religion have been
called to your attention. Your
spiritual nature must necessarily
have been nurtured by this daily
contact with the magnificent lit
urgy of the Episcopal Church,
your moral fibre strengthened by
your study of the Bible. Above
all you must have learned that re
ligion is not a “Sunday Fashion,”
but an integral part of your life,
hour by hour and day by day.
All these things and many more
we would have taught you. Where
in we have fallen short, we crave
your forgiveness. Not intention
ally have we offered you a stone
when you asked for bread. Time
will tell how you have profited by
your years at Saint Mary’s.
You go forth to face a war-torn
world where life is difficult for
young and old alike. Within your
selves you must find your stay in
times of stress. May your life re
veal that at Saint Mary’s you have
cultivated those qualities of mind
and heart and soul which will en
able you to develop what a great
educator. Dr. H. A. L. Fisher, calls
the principle of “humanity, tolera
tion and good sense.”

Phyllis Gatling
Home—Windsor, N. C.
Ambition—to win the Battle.
Pastime—dancing—any kind.
Favorite song—“Anchors Aweigh.”
Favorite food—onion sandwiches.
Hobbies—bracelets and collecting
records for Charlotte.
Most-used expression — “Don’t be
gross
I”
Pet dislike—that “left-over feeling”
from vacations.
Spends spare time—writing letters.
Phyllis was selected for a marshal
because she looks well-groomed not
only on Sundays, but even before
breakfast! She has a certain some
thing that’s hard to define. Is it
that air of sophistication, of know
ing what to do, and when and how?
Or is it her attractive, witty per
sonality? At any rate, she has a
gift of gab—either in a bull session
with us or on a dance floor. But
that’s just one of the things that
makes Phyllis an outstanding girl:
its literary societies, honor rolls, and
week-ending add up to versatility.
Elsie Edmunds Beoocks
Home—Durham, N. C.
Most outstanding feature—^blonde
pageboy.
Favorite food—steak and mush
rooms.
Spends spare time—worrying about
what she should be doing instead
of wasting spare time.
Favorite color—just plain red.
Worst fault—“Eating so much—or
rather that’s the one that shows
the most!”
Greatest achievement—hair never
comes down in the rain.
Favorite article of clothing-^“My
moccasins.”
Odd dislikes—corsages and perfumes.
Elsie was another good marshal
because she has so much poise and
presence of mind. She would be the
ideal model: a good figure and an
unusual type of beauty, she looks
the part to perfection, with a dig
nified, regal air. But Elsie’s charm
''lies mainly in her fun-loving and
mischievous nature. Though she
spends a great deal of her time at
Duke or Davidson, we know Elsie
well enough to be proud of her as
a real Saint Mary’s Belle.

Excerpt of letter from University

“Concerning Frances Fish : Fran
ces is making a record in the upper
half of the college. In voice she is
making a grade of B and in Theory
a C grade. She sings every week in
the Chapel Choir and is also a mem
ber of the French Club. Socially,
also, Frances Fish has adjusted very
well, .having friends both in the

We are delighted to have her as a
student in Rochester.”

and won the scholarship because of

May Day really brought scores
of visitors to our campus. A great
number of the Alumnae were also
here to provide the week-end with
plenty of spirit and fun! The com
plete May Day was heartily en
joyed by everyone. Congratula
tions to Miss Goss for a splendid
performance and to all who took
part in it. . . . Going to Chapel
Hill this week-end will be Betty
Peuchtenberger, Mildred Cleve
land, and Polly Lindsay. . . .
Seen at the Sir Walter eating din
ner with their families last Satur
day were Margaret Swindell, Jin-
nette Hood, Elizabeth Clark, Betty
Bassett and Laura Butcher. . . .
Bertha Cochran, Carolyn Sten-
house and Mallie Ramsay are three
among many who are planning
House Parties after school is out.
Martha Blythe ivill be at Citadel
Finals; Margaret Little Blount
and Sarah Bell at Carolina! . . .
We wonder what exactly hap
pened to Mary Doyle White and
Floyd at May Frolics? Ask her
why they both started blushing!
. . . Everyone was in ecstasies
over Marian Anderson. Toscanini
must have been correct when he
said that one hears a voice like
hers only once in a lifetime. . . .
Alice Yount’s family presented her
with a new convertible Buick. The
only trouble is that she hasn’t
learned how to drive yet. That’s
one thing she can look forward to
this summer! . . . Among the
day students seen at the Junior-
Senior at State last week were
Betty Smith, Sue Joyner, Kather
ine Kirby and Dixie French. . . ■
Kay Castles said she felt just like
a bride in her white net dress. We
hope that isn’t an indication of 8
“coming event.” . . . All -vve-
hear these days from Miss Jones’
English classes are the two words:
Lincoln Steffens. It surely will
a relief to everyone in school when
they finish it! . . . Just think^
two more weeks of school froU
this coming Tuesday. Only on®
more week of actual classes
the fun begins—studying for ex
ams! Three cheers to those wli’.
have already started studying fo^
them! . . . June Week at An
