The Belles of Saint Mary’s January 18, 15 Jan The Belles OF SAINT MARY’S Member Plssodated GolIeBinle Press COMPROMISE! Almost every day now the head lines of our newspapers tell of new strikes, or of impending ones. With steel workers, automobile workers, telephone workers and many others off the job, how are we ever going to accomplish the transformation to a peacetime basis of living ? The many things which signify our American way of life, those same things that civilians have been rationed for four years, those things which have spell ed HOME to so many men overseas, are not to be returned to us now. Hot until labor and management— and the government—can come to some sort of compromise will we even begin to get back on a normal basis, the basis that our fighting men remember. When they return to find home in an idle and confused state, with workers bickering for higher and higher wages, we wonder what they think, they who have been risk ing their lives and who couldn’t strike, not for higher wages, better living conditions, or anything else. We can’t help but wonder if, in their minds, must not rise the question, “Was it worth it?” SHH-H! A real essential of our life here at school is a period of comparative quiet on the halls. In order to study with any thoroughness, one needs a minimum of distraction and dis turbances. This desirable quiet is noticeably absent at Saint Mary’s. One will protest that these dis turbances are not intentional and that some relaxation is needed dur ing the day. Yet one will agree that there is ample time, other than dur ing those hours assigned for study, in which to relax without the con stant anticipation of being called down. It is true that social activi ties play an important part in one’s education, but the primary intent in « « « « ELLES » PEGGY' SWEVDEEL Published every two weeks during school year by the student body of Saint Mary’s School.

Favorite expression—“Oh Golly!” Always heard—period. coming to Saint Mary’s is to study. Therefore it seems that any adult- minded girl would realize the value of preserving an atmosphere con ducive to study for her own benefit. If she is not concerned with her own welfare in this matter, she should be thoughtful enough to realize that there are those who wish to study. Thoughtlessness is a very definite in dication of a lack of maturity, and it is hoped that most of us at Saint Mary’s have advanced beyond the stage where we consider only our own wants and desires. It is little enough to ask that one be considerate when, in the long run, it is to her own advantage. With exams only three short weeks away, it might be of profit to us all to give this matter some thought and em ployment. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, I would like to know if something could be done about Sunday night su])pers here at school. Sundays are LUCK FLANDERS usually a lonesome time for most of us and I think it would help if there were some place we could all sit around and talk or sing while we ate our supper. I also think it would foster more school spirit if we all got together more to sing the school songs and enjoy ourselves. Sincerely, Amie Watkins Dear Editor, I wish that something could be done about the noise in the halls, especially now that exams are com ing on. Most people seem to forget that after their classes are over there are still some people who want to study. Even after 4:00 there are still some who have work to do and though no one expects perfect si lence, running on the halls and screaming isn’t necessary.
