The Belles of Saint Mary’s
October 12,
Sophomore Suzie
I sit in my room (with a view
incidentally), and I look over the
tops of the trees at the lights of the
Sir .Walter, and I wonder “how
come” ? I wonder “how come” about
a lot of things: about why when I
sweep my floor the little “kitties”
come right back ’fore it’s inspected;
about why it’s so hard to study on
Sunday afternoons just ’cause you
can hear male voices coming in from
the campus; about why Poncie can
eat as much as she does and never
get fat; about why gym suits make
me look like a baby kangaroo; about
what it is about Russian novels that
gets me, and I wonder if life seems
as perplexing to everyone else as it
does to me.
Take the juniors and seniors, for
instance. Everywhere I turn I see
the tragic face of a junior helplessly
staring into space—just waiting for.
inspiration for a theme. Then I
see a senior trudging to the library,
seating herself behind a volume with
the inspiring title of Social Aspects
of England from some date to some
date. Only the expression is differ
ent. The senior may be bored, she
may be interested, but she isn’t
tragic. But the amazing part is to
watch the juniors slowly turn into
seniors; to watch them bit by bit
learn to take things as they come, to
do things well in the least possible
time, to make the most of their
spare time. The transition isn’t
painless, but it is remarkable. Watch
closely and see what I mean.
In case you haven’t heard, there
were only two people in the Toddle
House at a certain time on Saturday
morning. At least there may as
well not have been. Did you see
anyone else, Mildred ? Ain’t love the
most wonderful ole thing? Person
ally I’m just crazy about it, in all
sizes and shapes.
With only two more weeks to go
for the seniors I hear big plans for*
week-ends in the air. , Trying to
make them coincide with leaves is a
problem, but where there’s a will
there’s a way, and there’s certainly
no will lacking. Home still seems
to ho the pdp’lar place, ’cept for
maybe someone else’s home, or may
be Hew York, or maybe a base some
where, or maybe—well anyway I
think home is nice.
Since I really must leave now,
and maybe ponder a little more on
the “how comes” of life. I’ll leave
you one little thought to ponder on
some day. Says Samuel Iloffen-
stein: ^
Satyrs used to fall for nymphs,
Just the same as other symphs;
Same as many a modern goof,
Cupid kept them on the hoof.
AS FOR ART
I beat Mr. Moore to that
one.

“Y” OPENS HUT SATURDAY
Greetings, fellow artists! This
issue introduces a new column, dedi
cated especially to those of us who
find ourselves spending our spare
hours in the studio atop the Library
building. Already we are nuts over
our instructor. Miss Kathleen Mor
ris. We earnestly believe she is a
sensible person, but when our first
lesson was to scribble lines all over a
page we were amazed, to put it
mildly. The doodling (we calls it),
in, one case is entitled by the in
structor “Two Men on a Bicycle.”
Nevertheless it took the artist a
whole hour to figure out how her
masterpiece got its name. But who
knows, there might be another Dali
in the crowd.
In case you haven’t been there,
Raleigh has a grand State Art Gal
lery. There is a new exhibit each
month; so when you are down town,
be sure to drop by the second floor
of the State Library Building where
the gallery is located.
This month there is a one-man
exhibit by William C. Fields. Mr.
Fields was born in Fayetteville. He
took his A.B. degree in Fine Arts at
Chapel Hill. He served as director
of the federal art centers in Sanford
and Raleigh and was assistant State
Art Director in North Carolina un
til 1942. From 1942 to 1944 he
studied at the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts. The artist has done por
trait work in Boston, New York, and
North Carolina.
By now no doubt you have dis
covered the Magazine of Art in the
library. If you especially like the
Russians, or at any rate, we think
you will be interested in the articles
in the April and May issues on the
“Development of Russian Architec
ture.” Talbot Hamlin, the author,
starts with early Russian building
and continues through the most mod
ern socialist architecture.
Don’t forget to watch the Art
Bulletin Board.
NIGHT
The “Y” has great ideas for the
coming year. One of the main ob
jectives is to open the hut on Sat
urday nights! This may not seem
so wonderful to the new students;
but to the old ones, especially the
underclassmen, it is the best news
of the year. The “Y” plans to fix
the hut up in an attractive way
and have dancing, bridge, and re
freshments on Saturday nights.
Another of the “Y’s” plans is to
work together with the Canter
bury Club and invite good speak
ers to be their guests at Sunday
night meetings. Several debates
have also been scheduled for the
year.
i\rembership for the “Y” will
start soon, and everj' girl who is
interested in the work planned
and who is not an Episcopalian
is invited to join.

job on The Might Is Young and
You’re So Beautiful, and Jog Along,
with Mitchell Ayres’ orchestra.
I’m Gonna Love That Guy, and
Till the End of Time are the songs
Ginny Simms has chosen for her
newest record.
Decca offers several new hits. If
you like Gershwin music (and who
doesn’t?), you’ll want the album
Porgy and Bess with the Los An
geles Philharmonic Orchestra under
the direction of Alfred Mallenstein.
Also by Decca is Les Paul and
His Trio doing Begin the Beguine
and Dream Dust. This is one of the
very best trios, consisting of two
guitars and bass fiddle, with piano
accompaniment.
For Victor, Freddy Martin and
his Orchestra have two new ones,
Lily Belle sung by Gene Conklin
ami the Martin Men, and And There
You Are, with an Artie Mayne
vocal. Tommy Dorsey’s ever popu
lar Boogie Woogie has been re-issued
on his latest, backed up by There
You Go, with Stuart Foster on the
vocal.
Lots of good things from the Cap
itol Corner this week. First off we
find Jo Stafford’s That’s for Me,
and Gee, It’s Good to Hold Yon,
with a beautiful trumpet chorus bv
Billy Butterfield.
Shall We Dance ?
BUY WAR BONDS!
“There’ll be a girl break Satur
day night I” This is all it takes.
The nickels clang in the phones, the
letters go out and the girls are busy
getting dates.
The date situation in hand (wo
hope), everyone tries to decide what
her most bewitching costume is and
how she can best hook a man. At a
little before eight, the dates begin to
come and the pages start on their
long journeys over Smedes, the
Wings, and Ilolt. After a last glance
in the mirror, and a dab of perfume,
the girl goes down and meets her
date and over to the gym it is.
“Twenty-five cents, i)lease.” Girl’s
treat this time.
When a girl gets her date on the
floor, she naturally hopes her date
will get a good rush, but yet she’d
like to see him some. If he’s cute,
she never has a chance to dance with
her date; if he’s a drip, she’s stuck
all night. (“Ain’t it hopeless?”)
Groups congregate by the turn
table and coke stand and gradually
a group wanders out into “the pen”
under the spotlights.
Eleven o’clock seems to come too
soon and it’s time to say good-bye all
too quickly. The boys are manoeu-
vered out and the girls stay down in
the gym until the marshals give
them the word to leave.
Everyone agrees that it’s been a
grand dance and anxiously awaits
the next one.
