GET UP AND GO
Recently there has been too much
delay in getting to classes and meet
ings. When the bells are rung, it is
a signal to leave your room and go
to whatever meeting is scheduled.
At chapel and assembly in the morn
ing the program often has to be held
up until all the late comers can be
seated. In the small time allotted
these services any time lost causes
the whole student body to be late to
the first class. At other meetings
those in charge report to the meet
ings on time and do not like to be
kept waiting.
This is something that can only
be remedied by each individual stu
dent in school. If each person will
determine to get to her scheduled
meetings on time, it will save much
trouble and confusion to all con
cerned. It is very good to get in the
habit of being prompt because a
tardy person is unpopular in any
society.

Remarks: “Teenie” is one who
has loads of school spirit. She’s a
walking example of Saint Mary’s
personified. Active in sports, music,
and the Auxiliary, she still has time

is her apparently inexhaustible
source of energy, and they’d all like
to know the secret.

PEACE IS AT STAKE
Stalin’s statement of confidence in
the UNO was somewhat belied two
days ago by Russia’s member of the
Security Council, Ambassador Gro
myko, walking out on the council,
saying he could participate in no
council discussions of the Iranian
Crisis before April 10.
While the Russians have empha
sized that they are withdrawing from
council discussions only temporarily,
the world at large is beginning to say
that it is time the Russian boy
started acting like a man.
Apparently no members of the
UNO consider Russia’s temporary
withdrawal as too serious a threat to
UNO. But sooner or later both big
and little nations will tell Russia to
put up or shut up, play ball or go
home, or grow up and act its age.
The long view is the best view,
even if it is tiresome and irritating
at times.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR BIRTHDAYS
Dear Editor,
The Ides of March are upon us!
This is the time of year when all of
us find ourselves somewhat pushed
with work. We really need every
spare minute, and sometimes it is
rather hard to fit into our schedule
all the required outside activities,
concerts, etc., and still keep up our
grades. Is there any way that we
can keep our work and our concerts
and recitals from conflicting too
strongly? Most of us really would
like tq enjoy a recital without worry
ing about those three tests tomor
row, and a concert is much more
interesting when we can listen whole
heartedly instead of mentally conju
gating verbs while listening to
“Polonaise.”
Hopefully,
Ruth Whalen.
