Collegiate Press Association OUR PART Since December 7, 1941, the lives and everyday habits of Americans all over the world have changed greatly. Yet when we look around us at Saint Mary’s, it is hard to be lieve that a war is going on. It makes us wonder to what extent Saint Mary’s girls are aware that this is a total war, and that times are changing and will change a great deal more before peace is won. It is true that at the very begin ning the war was brought home to a few Saint Mary’s girls who had friends and loved ones in the war zones. It is also true that during the first worry-filled days after Pearl Harbor all of us became defense- minded. We remembered to con serve electricity by turning off our lights when we were not using them; we began enthusiastically to save scrap paper and used stamps; we knitted industriously for the Red Cross; and we became really inter ested in wbat was going on in the world around us. We listened ear nestly to the President’s speeches, and read the war news in the papers. We jiarticipated one •hundred per cent in black-out and air-raid drills. Rut this did not last. For, after the first few months, when things began to quiet down, and we real ized that Pearl Harbor had not been so disastrous as was first reported, we slackened our j>ace. We were annoyed with the tire situation. We were disgusted with the way the col leges around us were cutting down on their dance expenses. We wanted to have our Junior-Senior dance with all the trimming.s, or not at all. We were sick of hearing Fulton Lewis, Jr., harrangue the sugar problem. Very little change in our attitude has taken place during the summer. Of course, many of ns W'cre forced to come to school by bus and train ratber than by private car because of the seriousness of the gas and rubber situation; but otherwise, we seem to be buying as many clothes and going as merrily on our way, spending money left and right, as ever before. In spite of the rationing of sugar, gas, and rubber, this war has not touched many of us personally as yet. But it is inevitable that we must face some unpleasant situations in the near future. It is already becoming difficult to buy some food products. The Government is cut ting down on production of civilian clothes and goods. Transportation facilities to civilians are being lim ited. Many people will have trou- hle_ getting enough heat this winter. Prices are going up. iVnd if the war lasts very much longer, the Govern ment may find it necessary to draft women and children for certain jobs in our all-out war effort. When and if this real crisis comes, and there is work to be done and sacrifices to be made, we hope that we Saint Mary’s girls will live up to our proud tra dition and do our part to win this war. Meantime, we should learn now to do with a great deal less of every thing, and to buy war stamps and bonds instead of things we don’t need. expression — “Excruciat- -night- BELLES ANNE DICKSON Home—Virginia Beach.

Favorite perfume—Toujours Moi. “Oh, I’m just not original . . .” “How, don’t put down I’m ivild about the University of Virginia— what with all these Horth Carolina girls around . . .” And then Anne’s hazel (I guess) eyes squinch up and she breaks out into one of those ridiculous laughs which have de lighted Saint Mary’s ever since she arrived. Miss Dickson claims to bo the most sensible meitiber of her family, but that doesn’t mean a thing. However, she is President of the Student Government Associa tion, a member of the Circle, the Sigma Lambda Literary Society, and the French Club. Favorite ing.” Favorite article of clothing- gowns. Is looking for—a good ant extermi nator. Odd likes—buttermilk, and Virginia. Favorite perfume—Tweed. A gay laugh, a sivinging skirt, a ; serious frown, a perky red bow, and a smile are what little Miss Dawson brought to Saint Mary’s. Ho mat ter what she is doing, she is never too busy to stop. Besides the full time job of Hall Council Chairman, Sarah has found time to be a mem ber of the Circle, the Letter and the French Club. Club, MARY' .YNN DIXON SARAH DAWSON Home—Cramerton, H. C.

Take Foxy Clarke, for instance, sister of dear, old, gone-but-not-fo>'' gotten Minkie. Seems to be a strong resemblance. ^Ind then there s Sophia’s sister, .Eleanor, who pro®*' ises to be a lot of fun. We are going to miss Flo Williamson this year, but sister Emily will doubtlessly hold forth for her. Hannah Lyo® has a lot to live up to, what wh|* brilliant sister Jean’s past record- It’s grand, Pattie’s back, and also notice that there’s a new addith® already to the choir, by the name o* Martha Joyce Ross. California is ® long way away, but that didn’t stop Pat Pagen’s sister, Terry, from com' ing to Saint Mary’s too. Sally hopes that Anne Phlegar will stay with ®s as long as sister Ellen did. There have been some big doing-' this summer. Houseparties ha\® been the vogue, what with the deb' cious one Anne Dickson had. Fro® all reports it was a whale of a m of fnn. Bet Anne really had a swe® time cleaning up the fragments aft®® Sarah Dawson, Mary Ann Coop®*' Pauline McHeny, Jnne Bourne, M®® Robinson, Bitty Grimes, and MaiT Ann Dixon left. Speaking of housej partie.s, a good time was had by ®, at Gene HelT’s, too. It’s rumor® around that those wicked Bartp® Theater Actors shocked po’ Marg*® Shackelford nigh to death, and BetU Suiter, after a bridge party, has lo® all hope of being a second Ely bertson. Then, too, the gang ® Castellow’s really tore up the bea® at Hags Head, and ditto at Mor® head with Wceze. But all in all i was fun. Everybody anxiously awaits McKay’s wedding in October. " will be nobly represented as MaU Burns is to be her maid of lionoh and Cora Lucas, Jane Council, an Daphne Richardson are also going to wait on her. Don’t think eveiT body wasn’t surprised to hear abo® Lib Adkins’ marriage this summ®, j in Richmond, and Frances Willin®®* wedding in Raleigh. Jody Flanagan, Anne Stough, Stone, Sally Sanborn, and Bellamy just visited one beach aim another. Lib Royall returned * love, and ask Brooksie about B®® ^ some time. From the looks aron® here this year I think we ^ adopt, “She Wears a Pair of SiB Wings” for our theme song. Summer School tolled quite a f®' from Saint ^Mary’s. Betty Bassc_ j Sallj' Tucker, Mary Thomas, *' ginia Olive, Peggy Osborne, ., IVilliams, Ellen Oast, and ‘ ■ ~ The rest of RO of giiiia Freeman. were on the pay roll for part - ,r^. summer. Haturally •Fannie ^ David would be in a camera Joan Stell working for Philip j. ris, and Betty Lou Britt helping father. Jean Brooks and Jane Bell practically all the summer i® while Olive Camp toured the " ■ ‘ ■ ‘ Martha Atlantic coast line. Hogg crawled out from the West Virginia to visit Slacks ever so often. Laurie Lucas, ^ . Arden Tucker, and Betty occupied the beaches, and Ajig Waller was lifeguard in a swu® pool.
