Student Body to Bed Exhausted
But Happy
Miss Billy AAynn stood in the
midst of the hurrying packers in her
fitted brown coat and her chic broAvn
hat looking a very different person
from Columbine, the part she played
in the ballet, “Coppelia.” Scarcely
more than five feet, she is from Salt
Lake City, Utah,- and has been danc
ing professionally since she Avas fif
teen.
“1 can’t remember a time Avhen
my ambition was not to be a dancer.
I guess I started thinking of it seri
ously Avhen I Avas just a little girl
and saAv the Ballet Russe de Alonte
Carlo,” she said Avith a smile. She
moAmd out of the Avay of an ap
proaching trunk, “I loA'e my profes
sion, but we do get aA\ffully tired,
especially when Ave are on tour.”
This year’s tour Avill include Phil
adelphia, Washington, and Balti
more among other cities; and will
be concluded in New Orleans on
December 16. When the company
is touring, they sometimes have to
be out of the auditorium Avithin an
hour.
Of the Raleigh audience, Aliss
Wynn said, “I love it; a southern
audience is so much Avarmer than a
northern one.” She thought the au
ditorium floor Avas especially good.
“You should see Avhat Ave sometimes
haA^e to dance on!” she laughed.
Every morning the dancers have a
class for an hour and a half. They
liaA'e to practice about eight hours
as AA'ell. Aliss AVyim claims that her
greatest problem is Avatching her
diet.
Anue Dickson recewed a letter
from International Student Service
requesting that Saint Alary’s co
operate in observing “International
Students’ Day,” NoA^ember 17. No
one has seen more school spirit at
Saint Alary’s than Avas shoAvn by the
students and faculty that day. Every
one Avorked hard in the crisp fresh
morning air, played in the afternoon,
and Avent to bed happy and tired
that night Avith a feeling of good
companionship for eA^erybody.
As.sciiibly Speeches
The assembly program told hoAv
students and colleges of various al
lied countries Avere fighting to sur-
Auve the axis, Iioav the university
students Avere doing everything in
their power to undermine the axis in
spite of physical, mental, and rnoral
persecution. Each girl on the pro
gram told about conditions in the
country she chose. Phyllis Kinsey
told hoAv students and teachers in
Poland were divided into secret units
to study and lay underground
schemes to destroy the axis; Harriet
Benton told hoAAq although education
had not been abolished in NorAvay,
students refused to study axis edited
books and under Nazi teachers;
Sally Tucker told how students in
U. S. S. R. had left their studies to
defend their country; and Rebecca
Drane told Iioav in England certain
progress had to he made in order to
recewe gOA^ernment permission to re
main in school and Iioav an increas
ing number of Avomen were studying
technical subjects.
Alargie Shackelford told about
conditions in CzechosloA'akia; Mil
dred Denny, the Philippines; Kath
erine Legg, Luxombourg; Betty Lou
Britt, Greece; Brooksie Popkins,
Belgium; Betty Barnes, China; A^ir-
ginia Hart, the Netherlands; and
Sarah DaAvson, Denmark. Sallie
AIcKinley then read the “Declara
tion of the International Student
Service” Avhich set forth student
aims and policies for the future.
Holiday Announced
Then the student body president,
Anne Dickson, announced, that
classes would not meet that day, and
eA^eryone was so surprised that,
instead of clapping, for a feAv sec
onds, an a'Avestruck silence reigned.
Aliss Rebecca Harvey had charge
of the rest of the day’s activities. In
the morning the girls and faculty
Avere diA’^ided into tAvelA'e groups to
clean the campus. EA'eryone worked
hard from 10 o’clock to 1 and found
a feeling of pride (as Avell as pain!)
in good, clean Avork. At 11 there
