Worst fault—“I just don’t do nut- tin’.” Member Plssocided GollG6iate Press N. C. Collegiate Pre.ss Association WHICH? Just mentioning the Bed Cross brings to mind any one of its limit less activities, for practically every one has at some time or other either done Bed Cross work, contributed to the organization, or taken one of the various courses which it has offered. Although the work done by the organization during peace time was very extensive, the war has caused the demands to be more than dou bled. With added responsibliities has naturally come the demand for more resources. This year the Bed Cross is trying to raise more than twice as much as they did last year just to carry on their invaluable work among the armed forces. Saint Mary’s has been asked to raise $562.50. This sum amounts to approximately $1.85 per person. One dollar and eighty-five cents— the cost of a shake-a-plenty, two movies, a cheeseburger, a piece of pie at the Toddle House, a bus trip downtown and back, and a meal at the S & W; or the wool for a sol dier’s sweater, hundreds of bandages, or several weeks’ food for a starving child in suffering Europe or valiant China. Which ? The choice is yours. Ho one can compel you to contribute; it is only up to the indi vidual. The fact that the American Bed Cross as a voluntary organization has existed for so many years mani fests the faith and respect people have for its integrity. It stands as a symbol of the unselfish best that is in the American people. How more than ever is the time to support it, not by just giving, but by giving enough to force us to sacrifice until it hurts. One of the most capable, versatile seniors, Haney Beed can do any thing from drawing a beautiful don key to converting her room into the most adorable one in school (ask Miss Lalor about W. W. last year). The Assembly programs are ably directed by her, and she also man ages the financial end of the Senior Class as treasurer. Her “spare time” is devoted to Orchesis, Politi cal Science Club, Altar Guild, and Publications Staff. Always heard—(in her nicest voice) “I’m sorry, I don’t know how many points you have.” Always seen—fixing pink slips. Hobby—“Portia.” Favorite expression—“Don’t ’cha know ?” Favorite article of clothing—Well.. Favorite perfume—Jet. Favorite food—Virginia Ham. Favorite song—“Cherokee.” Is wild about—broad shoulders. Is looking forward to—laughing at next year’s Hall Council Secre tary. Odd likes—kumquats. Worst fault—doodling. The very^ busy secretary of the Hall Council is always (obviously, judging by the above) running around with those famous pink slips. Although this little job takes time (at least 48 hours a week), Jane’s name is always on the Honorable Mention list. Her activities also in clude work in the French Club, Glee Club, E. A. P. Literary So- ciety. Altar Guild, and Dramatic Club. shows the first Bishop of Horth Carolina, Bishop John Stark Bav enscroft, standing at the altar. B is interesting to note the Bishop’s spectacles pushed back on his fore head and the colorful carpet at bis feet. The last portrait, that of the late Bishop Joseph Blount Cheshire, is very much alive. He, like the other bishops, stands before the altar Since much of the portrait was painted in Hew Orleans, the artist) Clem Strudwiek, hired a Jewish man to pose, wearing the Bishop’s vestments. Of all the people in the portraits. Bishop Cheshire holds the greatest interest for the girls. S® not only watches over their dateS; but he keeps an eye on them as thef run up and down first floor East Wing in their petticoats. ARE YOUR EYES OPEN? PAULINE NETHORN McNENY' Home—Henderson.

The new marshal, Pauline, could be no better suited for this particu lar job. Her immaculate appear ance and willingness to help anyone anytime are her real characteristics. Pauline is president of the Senior Class and of her hall. She partici pates in activities of the Dramatic Club, Orchesis, Political Science Club, and Altar Guild. Pauline’s interests lie not in Saint Mary’s, but more specifically in the true Saint Mary’s ... the girls. The feminine of bachelor is lady in waiting. of. Poetry is a thing you make prose —liooJc of Boners. JANE ALLENSVV’ORTH TAYLOR Home—Henderson. Age—19. Hair ’n’ eyes—light brown and dark green. Ambition—to be really ambitious. Pet hate—pink slips. Spends spare time—^Tixing our poor, little radio.” Every time you sign out on the town sheet in Smedes’ Hall, a beau tifully dressed lady looks to see whether or not you’re wearing your stockings and carrying your gloves. A gentleman standing beside this lady observes you when you file your special permission slip in the parlor. Three more gentlemen watch you as you walk down the hall and out the front door. “Really?” you interrupt, “I had no idea there were that many men at Saint Mary’s! Who on earth are they?” We must admit that these men, as well as the lady, are merely por traits. To begin with, the gentle man nearest the door is Dr. Aldert Smedes, the school’s founder. He and his sideburns are quite hand some. The gracious lady beside him is his wife. If you observe her as closely as she observes you, you will admire her dark blue dress, white embroidered shawl, and becoming white bonnet. Both these portraits, painted by an unknown artist, are copies of ones owned by the Smedes family. On Mrs. Smedes’ right is another picture of her husband, painted when he was older. Across the hall hangs the portrait of another head of the school, the Reverend Bennett Smedes, Dr. Aldert Smedes’ son. The canvas in one corner of this picture was injured by a fall. It is said that a Hegro man posed in Mr. Smedes’ place while Jack Busby, the artist, was working on the sur plice. Mr. Smedes’ companion is William S. Stone, who taught his tory at Saint Mary’s for 25 years. The passer-by is attracted to Mr. Stone by his direct gaze, his striking white hair, and his bright red tie. Clem Strudwiek painted this pic ture. Portraits hang in the parlor as well as in the hall. One of these is William Hart’s full-length painting of Bishop Levi Silliman Ives con firming one of four Saint Mary’s girls kneeling at the altar rail. It was painted in 1846. The signature of a famous early American artist, Jacob Eicholtz, was written on the next portrait in 1831.
