The Belles of Saint Mary’s October 22, 1943 FRESHMAN JANIE Uli huh, I’m a freshman ’ii’ they say I still don’t know whut’s whut. But I don’t believe a word they say —those seniors don’t know as much as they think they do. Why, just the other night I was bangin’ out win dow (wolfin’) and whom should I see but that Barnes girl (or is her name Barney?) looking around for something on the walk between Holt and the chapel. A minute later I saw her pick up an ole “beat-up” lookin’ shoe and mutter something about number eighteen. I never have understood whut she was talk ing about ’cause I Icnow it wasn’t that big! Anyhow, I don’t think she’s so awful smart! I hear that Weaver girl is really dumb! She went to the Little Store the other day and asked the man for some fingernail polish. The man looked at her and said, “What shade, please ?” “Why red, of course,” said Patty. I nearly dropped my teeth, I laughed so hard at that “kick-bawl” tournament the other day. All the girls were runnin’ around in circles and throwing a ball at each other. They musta been plenty mad. Ruth Hayes musta liked it anyhow ’cause she was sittin’ on the bank takin’ notes on the game. Fanny Lee Brooke got so excited she nearly tripped over her shirttail. Anyhow, the Sigma’s won. (I got paid for that last statement!) “Missenecal” says that the girls are gonna learn to play “hookey” after the “kick- bawl” season is over. Whee ! • They say everybody’s gettin’ wor ried about gaining too much. It’s really gotten to be kinda insulting ’cause Mary Holmes said to her roommate, “Gee, you really were cute twenty pounds ago!” Everybody’s learnin’ to knit socks too. (Some people are so smart!) Pat Gwyn just finished makin’ an extra large pair for some soldier and said, “Hrn, these oughta fit any heel!” Poor Jeanne Eagles looked so dis gusted the other day. She’s really been workin’ awful hard in the li brary. When some poor girl that didn’t know any better said, “Do you have A Piece of String” 1 poor Jeanne staggered back to the office ’ll’ cut her some twine, and then the girl said, “Oh, no, I meant the short story by de Maupassant.” That drillin’ these seniors did was really pretty good, I guess. You’ve gotta hand it to ’em. Those girls in black looked kinda mournful but aside from that all of ’em looked awful good. Barbara Ann Ray was havin’ a little trouble with her voice changin’ on some of those commands she was giving, though. (Guess she forgot to gargle with Listerine or .something.) By the way, have you heard that new song on the radio, “Wake uj) with that sex appeal . . . crisp Post Toasties”? Anyhow, it’s gettin' real (extremely) popular. They say there’s an awfully popu lar man on the camjms (what man wouldn’t be). At least I heard he had a waiting list of girls on his door! That girl Frenchie “McCann” seems to be doin’ pretty well. It’s nine-thirty and I’ve simply got to go to the Little Store if my folks don’t recognize me when I go home. RING OUT, WILD BELLS! (By Russell Broughton, who thinks, etc., about the obvious.) There’s a bell that jangles through the hallways As I rise, and I shiver, and I yawn: And it sings “Now you’ll be late as always” While I rush toward the dining-hall at dawn. O HATEFUL BELL . . . O HATEFUL BELL When you interrupt my dreams I surely wish you were inaudible There’s- a bell that jangles through the hallways; From my bed I leap and curse that gong When it sings “Now you’ll be late as always” For its song ain’t so very far from wrong. There’s a bell announcing recitations As I groan with my lessons half prepared : And it sings “Rehearse your conjugations” While I try to pretend that I’m not seared. 0 BRAZEN BELL . . . O BRAZEN BELL Well I know that for my efforts teacher’s gonna give me zero. There’s a bell announcing recitation. 1 repent assignments hurried through. For it sings “Good-bye to graduation” And it’s song ain’t so very far from true. There’s a bell that jangles Sunday morning Calling us to the chapel with the choir. “Lay aside frivolity” it’s warning. But it sounds more as if there were a fire. 0 SUNDAY BELL . . . O SUNDAY BELL While our tongues intone oj heaven your tongue hurls us back to earth There’s a bell that jangles^unday morning With our nerves still jangling from last night: And it warns “Snap back, old girl, with Stanback” And its song ain’t so very far from right. THE “BELLES OF SAINT MARY’S’’ (See Author, above.) 1. The BELLES OF SAINT MARY’S, that virtuous sheet Is sold on the campus, not hawked on the street Its headlines are modest; good taste must come first A policy foreign to William R. Hearst. Refrain O BELLES OF SAINT MARY’S Revered half-pint journal We all point with pride at Thy pure policy Though some may be irked by Thy rightness eternal Vox populi proclaims Thy popularity. 2. The BELLES OF SAINT MARY’S can never print lies It must be veracious, must not plagarize. Must censor all gossip, abjure scandal’s lore: A policy fostered by C. A. P. Moore. 3. Critiques so constructive, designed to please all Ne’er pan the artiste when she bawls in the hall Her low A’s atrocious—so praise her high C A policy proffered by maestro R. B. 4. The BELLES OF SAINT MARY’S thinks drinking a sin. No ads flaunt the merits of whiskey and gin. It plugs nothing stronger than tenderleaf tea: A policy sponsored by Josephus D. 5. Mus Musculus stalks us and spies out our plots lie peeps through the keyholes, hides under the cots; Then spreads all the news that is proper to tell, A policy featured by Walter Winchell.
