What does the coming of Spring
bring to Saint Mary’s ? Y e asked
ourselves that question and we’ve
finally decided—first, spring vaca
tion ; second, spring fever; third, the
sun porch craze.
As the first two topics have been
discussed many times, there remains
only the third, which, as every Saint
Mary’s girl will agree, is a very im
portant Spring event.
This year the sun porch began to
see signs of activity long before
spring, however. Ambitious souls
braved the late February and early
March weather and ventured out,
only to return with a slight redness
which was very encouraging, if
slightly goose-bumpy. Since then
the sun porch has had a little rest,
hut is now taken up with its old
duties. With the arrival of green
grass, flowers, and birds (such poetic
language) Saint Mary’s has made a
general pilgrimage to the tiny,
gratey-floored (Oh my achin’ back)
domain where at least somebody will
always be from now until the end
of school.
This brings us to the discussion
of things usually occupying the
porch. Besides the prostrate forms
of sun-bathers, there are usually sev-
baek and send it home.
Editors Will Begin Work Be
fore End of This Year
The Sigma’s won the basketball
tournament that was held during the
week of March 10 hy two games to
none.
The first game was played on
iMarch 11, and the Sigma’s won, 34
to 19. High scorer for the Mu’s was
Barbara Pope, who scored 10 points.
Sande Childs and Martha Best
Yorke were high scorers for the
Sigma’s, each scoring 10 points.
The second game was played on
March 14. The Sigma’s again de
feated the Mu’s, but this was a closer
game, the final score being 22-19.
Helen Barnes high-scored 10 points
for the Mu’s, while Sande Childs
scored 12 for the Sigma’s.
Since the Sigma’s won both games,
there was no third game, as the win
ner of two out of three games wins
the tournament.
The All Star team has been elect
ed, and will be announced in assem
bly soon.
Ann Jones was nominated editor
of the Belles, Gene Rose editor of
the Stage CoacJi , and Martha Conger
editor of the Bulletin in assembly on
March 12. As there were no fur
ther nominations, these girls were
unanimonsly elected.
Ann Jones,-who will succeed Sally
Ann Elliott, is from Summerville,
South Carolina. Before coming to
Saint Mary’s she attended Summer
ville High School, where she was
treasurer of her senior class; presi
dent of the Glee Club; editor-in-
chief of The Pine Dog, the high
school paper; an art editor of the
Green Wa ve, school annual; a mem
ber of the Beta Club; a member of
the Block Letter Club; and a guard
on the first string basketball team.
She was also the valedictorian of
her class.
eral bottles of water to pour on
scorched backs, the'everlasting baby
oil, decks of cards, magazines, cotton,
towels, old sheets, and many other
items. All in all, the sun porch is a
wonderful second-hand shop.
One of the “hot seat’s” untold ad
vantages is the little one-inch-in-
diameter hole in the floor, through
which a suffering soul may watch
the cool world go by below.
The favorite pastime of Saint
Mary’s “camera flends” is to sneak
up on some defenseless sizzler and
snap her picture. Many interesting
photos have been obtained in this
way, and, after all, one can always
write “At the Beach Club” on the
As most of Saint Mary’s has al
ready surmised, the sun porch is one
of the most beloved spots on the cam
pus. Of course, it’s sometimes a
little crowded, but having a one-arm
tan is a great step towards the beau
tiful dirt color every Saint Mary’s
girl longs for.
But as one last warning, just re
member the great anonymous say
ing, “If you’re walking behind me,
don’t trip on the skin. I forgot my
baby oil the last time I went on the
sun porch.’'
Ann has taken an outstanding part
in school affairs since coming to
Saint Mary’s. She is secretary-
treasurer of the Kanuga Club; a
faithful supporter of the Mu Ath
letic Society; one of the most effi
cient workers of the Belles writing
staff, and has managed to keep up
her honor roll average.
Ann is a small, attractive, good
looking brunette. Though she mod
estly denies it, her roommate says
that she was elected bea^ity queen of
Summerville High School in her sen
ior year. When asked how she felt
about her election, Ann replied, “I
like newsjiapers and I think the
work next year will be interesting.”
Having been editor of her high
school paper has given Ann some
good experience.
Gene Rose of Henderson is to suc
ceed Jane Campbell next year as
editor of the Stage Coach. Before
coming to Saint Mary’s this past
fall, Gene attended Saint Catherine’s
in Richmond for ten years. At Saint
Catherine’s, Gene was vice-president
of her senior class; on the staff of
The Inklings, a literary newspaper;
a member of the Free French So
ciety ; a member of the Hoofs, a rid
ing club; and had a major part in
the senior play. In fact, word has
come down from other sources that
Gene “stole that show.”
At Saint Mary’s, Gene is a cheer
leader for the Mu Athletic Society;
a member of the Canterbury Club;
the Sigma Pi Alpha, a modern lan
guage fraternity; the French Club;
the Art Club; the Dramatic Club;
the Sigma Lambda Literary Society;
and has been especially active on the
staffs of the Bulletin and the Stage
Coach. Gene showed her enthusiasm
for her job by saying, “I can’t think
of anything I’d rather do.”
