IT’S UP TO US
Now that the war is over, the
people of the United States face
many problems toward bringing its
people and those of other countries
back to normal life.
Thousands of American boys are
returning home after months of
fighting on distant battle fronts.
Jobs must be provided for some of
them, and the others must he en
couraged to go back to college in
order to obtain better jobs later.
They have done their bit, and Amer
ica must see that they are rewarded.
The starving people of Europe
must be fed, clothed, and given shel
ter. They are the ones who have
been through all the horrors of con
tinuous bombing, invasion, and Ger
man domination. America was
spared from these hardships, and so
now that the war is over, she must
use all her strength in bringing these
nations back to their normal state.
Highly trained workers will be
needed in this work. We at Saint
Mary’s should try to take the right
subjects in order to fill jobs which
will help toward this rehabilitation.
It certainly is a challenge!
THKOUGII OTIIEKS’ EYES
As a whole the student body has
been behaving wonderfully—while
at school. But my! When a crowd
gets down town! Such “yoo-hooing”
across the street, loud singing and
talking, noisy gum-chewing, pushing
and crowding on the bus—the poor
people of Ealeigh probably think
somebody opened all the gates to all
the cages at the zoo—and here come
the monkeys and hyenas!
But don’t misunderstand. Nobody
expects—or wants—“little angels”
instead of ordinary normal girls.
But, please, remember these three
things when you go out, whether
down town to lunch and a movie, to
a concert or play, or to a football
game: remember you’re a lady, and
act like one; remcinher you’re a
Saint Mary’s girl; and remember
that your actions and behavior re-
