ON MEN AND BEAUTY
Week before last marked the an
nual observance of posture week.
Last year each girl ivas marke
when she was observed with bad pos
ture. This year, however, posture
policemen were appointed to watch
each girl, to call her attention to her
own bad posture, and finally to
choose six or eight girls throughout
school who seemed to have the best
posture. A committee, after t lese
lists had been handed in, selected ten
girls whom they thought had the
best-all-around posture. These girls
were presented to the student bo y
at assembly last week and asked to
exhibit the best posture for sitting in
various types of chairs. Judg^ fin
ally awarded the title of “hHss Good-
Posture of Saint Marys to Jean
Fulton. Honorable mention went to
Carol Cobb and Elizabeth Adkins.
They’re hams and heels and jerks
and vipers.
Villains, wastrels, dullards, snipers.
They’re boobs and bores and prob
lems, too.
And yet they make our dreams come
true.
They woo one girl and wed another.
Insult her sister, snub her brother.
They cause the feuds and family
fuss—
Since girl met boy, ’twas ever thus.
They lose their cufflinks, wreck the
car,
They shoot their pay roll at the bar,
They stamp and snort and steam
and snore.
Yet we come winging back for more.
They will not don a dinner jacket.
Considering dressing woman’s racket.
They scorn the hours spent on beauty
But laud it as a female duty.
In the past, poster week has been
held along with posture week, ihis
year Miss Harris’ Commercial Art
Class illustrated in no uncertain
terms that poor posture does not pay
These posters are hung m various
nlaces throughout the school. Judges

Forget to coif your curls one day—
The rude awakening’s on its way!
A girl gets by with being witty.
Because she’s also slim and pretty.
Men admire a girl who’s smart—

loud silence that had accompanied

for when they saw that we weren’t
the prayed-for examples of What-
liquor-can-do-to-youth, they resumed
the Prohibition Bill where it had
sat down, and prodded themselves
into the creation of more heart-rend

this dramatic outburst that your
loyal representatives had to learn
enough parliamentary procedure to
put in our two cents worth. It seems
that there are certain times when
you jump up and ask questions that
really aren’t questions, because you
already know the answer and are
just saying it to be effective. And
there are other times when you can
get up and talk by yourself, but then
all the other people are jumping up
to ask their questions that really
aren’t questions. This display of
horizontal gymnastics was so confus
ing to Senators Splodget and Dodget
that they could only turn their ef
forts toward trying to swap their
