With the creation of the WAVES, WAACS, and other similar organi zations, women are being drafted into work that will release men for more important duties. They are also being urged to apply for jobs in defense factories. All this tends to make the college girl feel as if she is not doing her part to win the war. She feels restless and discontented when she hears of the death of a friend in battle or sees a movie about some heroic nurse attached to the armed services working under fire. Most of the girls at Saint Mary’s are mentally capable of earning a college degree, and their families can afford to send them on to school. Theirs is a great responsibility, for if the men in the armed services are to feel that there is something to come home to, it is up to them to keep aloft the torch of learning, and this means finishing one’s college education. It’s always easy to follow the crowd, but it’s tough to stay in col lege and do the unspectacular. Is wild about—John. Is looking forward to—wearing a cap and gown. Odd likes—just berries. V'orst fault—^yelling. There’s a shout, there’s a joke, there’s a laugh and down the hall roars Meg! She’s always in a good humor, always nice to everybody, and always rushing around like mad. Her jobs as co-exchange Editor of the Belles, co-manager of the L’il Store, and Senior Dance Marshal certainly make a tremendous task for anyone. Yet Meg never complains, hut goes right on joining Orchesis, Political Science, Dramatic Club, and any other organizations handy. N. C. Collegiate Press Association BELLES LEYT SARAH ELIZABETH SANBORN Lent, which began Wednesday, holds deep meaning and significance to most Saint Mary’s girls and can mean much to girls of other denomi nations. By tradition, it is a period during which we are supposed to dis continue or give up undesirable hab its and thoughts we have fallen into —not just candy or desserts—for 46 days in the hope that thereafter we won’t return to them. But Lent is also a period of spir itual re-examination and consecra tion, the church’s call to us to look deeply and estimate ourselves realis tically. With a chaotic world fall ing around our ears, we would do well to fix our eyes steadfastly upon the Christian Creed and lash our selves to it more firmly. A few mo ments on our knees every day thank ing God for His mercies and asking His protection for those fighting our battles will help us toward our re dedication. The chapel stands to receive us. EDUCATION? During the last few rponths there has been a lot of talk among the intellectuals of the country about women being to a great extent the reservoirs of culture during this pe riod of world-wide war. Obviously they are needed to take the teaching positions of men who have gone into the armed forces, but, these people assert, women, especially girls in college, have a still more important undertaking. They will be the wives of the boys who today are fighting in the fox holes of Hew Guinea or on the desert wastes of JSTorth Africa —the boys who weren’t able to finish college. They will be the wives of boys who will come home men with a very changed outlook on life. Per haps they will be bitter and dis illusioned ; perhaps they will be physically wrecked and mentally dis torted. It will be up to their wives to point out that there are still Home—Goldsboro. Age—18. Hair ’n’ eyes—very blonde and blue. Ambition—to get her Aveight into the teens again. Pet hate—having people mad at her. Spends spare time—she doesn’t! Always heard—talking. Always seen—blushing. Hobby—just playin’. Eaimrite expression—“Really!” Favorite article of clothing—shirts. Favorite perfume—Channel Ho. 5. Favorite food—anything. Favorite song—anything . . . sweet and simple. Is wild about—people. Is looking forward to—“The day I’ll hav^e a Mrs. tacked on my name.” Odd likes—onion sandwiches. Worst fault—talking too much. Yes, Sandy loves people and gets along with them like no one else. With that gay laugh and those fa miliar blushes (especially in Eng lish class) she’s one of Saint Mary’s faimrites. Her offices are numerous, such as President of her hall, co managing editor of the Belles, treas urer of the Dramatic Club, co-man- ager of the L’il Store, and Senior Dance Marshal. LILLIAN MAXW’ELL BELLAMY' Home—Wilmington. Age—18. Hair ’n’ eyes—browui and hazel. Ambition—to be a career AA'oman. Pet hate—empty mail boxes. Spends spare time—listening to her roommate read poetry. Always heard—“I’m going some- Avhere to study.” ^Vlways seen—rushing . . . three hours late. Hobby—reading . . . not English parallel. Favorite expression—“Darling.” FaA’orite articles of clothing—ear rings and hats. Favorite perfume—My Sin. Favorite food—pineapple. Favorite song—“Smoke Gets in Yours Eyes.” Is wild about—lieutenants. Is looking forward to—next summer. Odd likes—“My roommate.” Worst fault—alAA'ays being late. Soft-spoken, easy-going Lillian can usually be caught getting ready to study, playing bridge, or practic ing voice. She was this year elected Auce-jiresident of the Granddaugh ters’ Club, and is a member of the E. A. P. Literary Society, French Club, Publications staff, Orchesis, and Glee Club. Her time is cer tainly well-spent although she is al ways in a nonchalant and “never very busy” state of mind. She spent one summer at Caffll Red Wing in northern Pennsyl' A'ania. Boat trips to Lakes Senaca and Kayuga Avere her favoritf phases of camp life. Once she Averi on a six-day yacht trip doAvn tP Hudson River from Albany to Heif York City; ev'ery night the boat docked at a different toAvn, and tta passengers had a grand time patroU' izing its amusement parks and nigW clubs. She finished the account AviA That’s about all the traA’’eling I’'* done. I’m sorry I haven’t beeJ abroad.” When asked Avhat her favorit* sport is, Miss Hopkins replied' “Y ell, I like the beach,” then mor^ specifically, “mainly to sit and ge* sunburned. You can tell I’m lazy type.” Her faA’orite pastimes are kni!' ting, haA'ing a good time, and reai' ing the Neiv Yorker. But her tast® in hobbies runs in strange channels —“Avashing dishes after Mr. Moore’s coffee on Sunday.” Miss Peggy Hopkins’ love of lb' ing and sense of humor liaA^e ma^® her an outstanding personality her® at Saint Mary’s. Like Poetry? library Time clock to the moral prim-moulls female marking the date due Avith the rulef' rapping look, and dictionary to the briefcas®' laden student clerking for fact in fiction’s careles® file. Musty to many, a smell like atti® trunk; for girls and eyeglass AveaklingS’ athlete scorns; to the bored matron hostile hours b kill, ., and punishment like church to A'i^b running child. I “A Cultivated Southerner” 3IARGARET ANDREWS STONE Home—Greensboro. Age—48. Hair ’iff eyes—very black and broAvn. Ambition—to learn to cook. Pet hate—refer to Ellen Oast.

Favorite expression—“Fine” (calm yourself, Meg). Favorite article of clothing—Brae- mar sweaters. Favorite perfume—Channel Ho. 5. I avorite food—peach milk shakes. Favorite song — “When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again.” When asked for an intervieAA', Miss Peggy Hopkins laughingly de clared, ^Hothing exciting has ever happened to me, but I’A-e had a mighty good time.” Being tall and slender Avith large broAim eyes and AATll-groomed hair, this ncAV addition to Saint Mary’s staff makes an at- tractiA^e appearance. Her spontane ous laugh, ahvays accompanied by a fascinating lift of one shoulder, is an unrationed pleasure. Pulling the tAveed coat around her shoulders, in her loAv A'oice Miss Hopkins began to tell something of her, as she de scribes it, “dull life.” Born in Bel Air, Maryland, for years she has been called a Yan kee but insists, ‘T’m a cultivated Southerner.” From Westtown School in Pennsylvania she came to Saint Mary’s AA’here she AA'as presi dent of her senior class. Incident ally, she thinks Saint Mary’s girls are the best she has eA'cr known. In 1941 she graduated from Hollins’ College. Last summer, after decid ing to become a Avorking girl, she attended a business school in Balti more, Afaryland. Today she enjovs a private office in West Rock. Enemy, roars the Fascist, burn doAA-n!
