When interviewed, Frenchie said, “I hope I can carry on the good precedent set by Brooksie and Char lotte. (I hope the paper survives !)” New Belle Views New- Girl-Old Girl Party Ferguson, Parham, and Avera Entertain by Singing and Play ing It did seem awfully strange—get ting dressed in our prettiest evening and dinner dresses, fixing our faces “just right,” squeezing into long- neglected silver slippers, and_ comb ing those stray wisps of hair into the proper sophisticated places; and then going to a reception where we met the same people who ^ see us every day in sweaters and skirts and the same girls who see us at night in jiajamas and curlers. Yot one boy did we see, but, after all, it was fun to be all dressed up again, and it made the new-girl-old-girl recep tion nicer and more formal. After we’d dashed to be ready by eight-thirty, we stood in the hall with our “big sisters” behind us for almost an hour. Then we stepped into the parlor to vipw the longest receiving line imaginable. Betty Barnes and Betty Edwards were first, next was klrs. Cruikshank, who’remembered all our names, and Bishop and Mrs. Penick. After we had passed by Saint Mary’s new business manager, Mr. Stoughton, and Mrs. Stoughton, our “big sis ters” began to introduce us to the long line of faculty members. After meeting all of the faculty that were present, we sat on the floor, or maybe we managed to get a rug, a sofa, or a bench, and waited until everyone had gone down the receiving line. Eliot Stoughton, formerly of the Carolina Coach Company, has suc ceeded Albert W. Tucker as Busi ness Manager of Saint Mary’s School. Mr. Slougliton assumed his duties on September 15, 1943. A native of Clairmont, New Hamjjshire, Mr. Stoughton attended Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hamjishire. After graduating from there in 1919, he studied for two years at the Amos Tuck School, the Dartmouth School of Finance. In 1921 he received from there his A.B. and M.C.S. degrees in busi ness administration and finance. After that Mr. Stoughton held a position with the Stone and Webster Public Utility Company. This work carried him all over the country— from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, to Seattle, Washington. Seven years ago, just before he came to Raleigh to live, Mr. Stoughton lived in Roanoke, Virginia. "Wliile living in Raleigh, he has been Assistant Treasurer of the Carolina Coach Company and its associate com- jianies. Mr. Stoughton says that although he has had “diversified experience in public utility work,” his work as business manager here is “in some respects very different” from his former occupation. Having only one daughter, Mr. Stoughton says he does not yet feel quite accus tomed to his two hundred and ninety-odd Saint Mary’s girls. As he has no jilans for special changes, he will try at present primarily to “carry on” the customary work of the business manager. Mr. and Mrs. Stoughton and their two children, Jack and Barbara, are making their home in the Business Manager’s house. Barbara is in the sophomore class of Saint Mary’s High School, while Jack is iji the sixth grade of Ravenscroft Gram mar School. The faculty, staff, and students of Saint Mary’s extend a hearty welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Stoughton and their family. Some of the new girls entertained. Elise Ferguson, accompanied by Miss Cate, sang “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” “Sylvia,” and “Lover, Come Back to Me.” Sue Parham played Sheet’s “Canzonetta” and then some boogie that we’ve often heard on Tommy Dorsey’s “Boogie- Woogie” record. No one would let her stop; so she also played “Cow- Cow Boogie.” Frances Avera sang, with no accompaniment, “Summer time” and a grand rendition of “St. Louis’ Blues.”
