The Belles of Saint Mary’s November 5, 1943 Freshman Janie GENERAL, CONVENTION Here I am again. I’m so proud they let me try to write some more, I dunno whut to do. Of course Treuchie McCaun was awful excited and flustered about goiu’ away for the week-6nd, but I know that didn’t have anything to do with this arti cle’s gettin’ in 1 Guess I’m gonna have to take back all I said about those seniors, bein’ dumb, cause they must be right smart to do that English of theirs. Some of ’eni seem to keep kinda hapj)y about it all too. . . . Jinny Hart started out on the Odyssey with a bang. She came' walkin’ down the hall sayin’ “This is the song of the Iliad, everybody: Some Other Book Has Takkn My Place”! I’ve heard that the seniors sing I’ve Got Xerves That Jingle, Jangle, Jingle just before an English test. Honest, it really is terrible to be a freshman. We try so hard but still get so mixed up. Some other freshman was gettin’ awful excited the other day ’cause she said she just knew Mrs. Guess was gonna put her in posture class ’cause of her gaj)osis! (Guess I shouldn’t say anything ’cause I do a lot of dumb things too.) iVlr. Guess is an awfid smart man but I kinda think he got a little con fused in' class the other day—at least somebody said so. lie was say ing, “I really can’t see why anyone would ever want to commit suicide unless, of course, he had his arms and legs cut off or something like that!” All I can say is, “How’s he gonna do it?” That certainly does puzzle me! ^ I’ve heard that that Thorp girl is back in the groove again after cracking her head. They say she was trying to develop muscles in six easy lessons, but somehow fell off the back of a chair and had to let, one lesson suffice! Anyhow, she can still play Mal-e-gwanya! (I’m tak- in’ Sj)anish this year.) They say Harriet Whitaker was in the mood for a little sympathy one night—and she got it too. Miss Scott and all of third floor Holt were trying to tear up petticoats and pillowcases to bandage her bleeding leg with, and then they found out after she'got over her hysterics that it was only lipstick that Betty Clark had flxed realistically. (I hope that man doesn’t see this.) Aren’t sen iors dumb, though? / would have known better than that! Sister Smith Avas tellin’ me that Walter, Walter, Lead Me to the Altar Avas her favorite recording— guess mine’s Four-F, Four-F, Lead Me to the Altar! Hav'e you seen Foxic Clarke’s eye- broAvs ? Well, she’s got some now. ’Course I liaA'en’t had a chance to look at ’em lately but peojfle say the,y cost her an awful lot, and I can’t understand what they mean by that. Hope she’ll explain it to me some day. Guess I’d better stop now ’cause I don’t Avant anybody to say I don’t knoAV when to—ev(jn if I am only a freshman. Besides, my spine is gradually goin’ to sleep ’n’ I’m Avell on my way to scoliosis. The Granddaughters Club is selling subscriptions to magazines this Aveek. The money maclo Avill go to buy cigarettes for men over seas. THE CLOTHES LINE ion. Vogue says: Neat heads, slim legs, and narrow hips. (But Miss Sene- cal, I’m so sore!) It predicts baby caps and flat hats. Omit one little store trij) and read He Will Be Dif ferent. It is Avcll worth ,your time. LIKE POETRY? Constancy “You gaA'e me the key to your heart. my loA’e; Then Avhy do you make me knock ?” “Oh that Avas yesterday. Saints above! And last night—I changed the lock!” John Boylk O’Keilly. DAY STUDENTS’ NEWS (From P. 1) vailing “Spirit of Christian char ity.” Eaxui Polish' and Chinese churchmen made “no sarcastic re marks about Hitler or Tojo” and uttered not “a single syllable of vin dictiveness.” Another thing Avas the Church leaders’ unusually strong realization of “the international as pect of the Church’s program” even though there Avere no foreign mis sionaries present to emphasize it. For Sale: Last year’s pill-box, boxcoat, and plain shoes. Owner must have iicav outfit at once. IVanted: Dutch cap, AFHet-col- lared coat, fancy shoes, or anything iieAA’. KelatHes, please note. The most popular variations of school clothes this fall seem to be matching skirts and sAveaters, check ed skirts Avith sAveaters the color of the dark check, and cashmere and Braerner sweaters Avith everything. Hand-knit SAveaters and socks are popular and promise to be more so if and Avhen the girls knitting them find time to complete their under takings. (IIoAV about longer assem bly programs, Margaret?) Suits, jackets, and raincoats appear every- Avhere. Saddle shoes complete Avith loafers for first place among casual footgear, AAflth British Avalkers run ning a close second. Skirts are nar- roAv and pleat-less Avith buttons re placing zippers. (That’s why Ave Avere late to breakfast, Virginia.) For Sunday and for toAvn, clothes become more varied. Hats Avith feathers and dutch caps in many diA'ersified forms top the majority of heads. Alligator pumps and shoes Avith high ankle straps are the most popular for dress Avear. Suits, coats, and dresses are all trimmed Avith dark A'elA-et collars. The inevitable black drosses, furs, and tweeds look A^ery nice. Some i)eoj)le manage,to have three-piece suits, the lucky ones! Sport days seem to bring out the masculine in us. Boys’ shirts, boys’ athletic socks, SAveaters Avith letters, and SAveat shirts with insignia prove this. . Fads and new tricks ahvays liaA-e their place on the best corners of the campus. Feathers are the one item oA'eryone sav’es that spare penny to buy. Initials and names adorn OA'ery thing from name-tapes to SAA'eater sleeves. Glasses are no longer something to be kept secret, but Avith their odd shapes and many colors enter into the Avorld of fash Since Uncle Sam has taken many of the boys aAvay, the lovelies of Raleigh have been slightly Avorried. More than one way too! But last Aveek changed from the usual old drag to exciting good times CA'ery night. Goodness, hoAV the books must have suffered! Unwersity of Vir ginia, Carolina, and Duke V-12 boys have been home on furlough. The Carolina Country Club seemed to liaA^e been the gathering place for all the Raleigh Saint Mary’s girls and their dates. Last Aveek-end Wake Forest gaA-e its annual Pledge Dance. Saint Mary’s Avas represented by Frances' Pickett, Sybil Goerch, Jane Jeter, Dot Ruffin, and Ellen Senay. Jane Bell, Marjorie Cole, and Betty John son Avent tripping OA'er to Chapel Hill. From all appearances Jane might as Avell moA’e to Carolina. This Aveek-end is home-coming for State. It really is going to be a big affair. After the Duke-State game. State is giving a big dance. The fraternities are also giA'ing many parties and banquets. Mary Helen Wilson AA’ill be sporting her new fur coat. Is it a beauty! Betty Johnson, Dot Ruffin, Jane Bell, Lib Jones, Anne Cutts, Betty Kendrick and Juanita Anderson Avill be there Avith prettiest smiles. That’s all for noAv. FANNIE’S FANCIES Dihiam Girl of S.M.S. : FA’erybody has some distinctive quality or conspicuous feature. We were all sitting around having a hen session the other night and got into a discussion of the ideal Saint Mary’s girl. She AA'ould embody all the best features Ave could imagine. Visualize, if you can, a young lady who ansAvers the folloAving descrip tion : Someone Avith Foxie Clark’s hair, Kate Broadfoot’s eyes, Katherine Legg’s nose, Frances Shackelford’s mouth, Shirley Goode’s grin, Betty Kendrick’s complexion, Eleanor Thomas’ teeth, Betty WinsloAv’s eye lashes, Stuart Verdery’s hands, Betty Edivards’ arms, Betty Barnes’ blush, Jane Clarke Cheshire’s legs and feet, and the figure of Liz Petesch; then let her liaA'e Frances AA^era’s voice, Hannah Lyon’s sense of humor, Betty Clark’s expressions, Carol Talbot’s SAA’cetness, Jane Peete’s jietiteness, Betty Xicoll’s liandAvriting, Marion Gaither’s good nature, Maria Legg’s poise, and the good manners of Mr. Guess. Let her bo able to handle young men, eat all she pleases Avithout get ting fat, get all her AA’ork done, and bo on time to assembly. She’s too good to be true, but AA’e can dream, can’t Ave?
