IN GOD’S HOUSE
When we visit a friend, most of
us have enough manners to be polite
and considerate of that person, at
least while we are in her house.
The same should hold true when
we are in God’s house, but more
often than not, giggling and talking
betray our rudeness.
“Oh! look at that cute hat over
there.”
“Isn’t it darling? I declare, she
always wears the cutest clothes!”
The church is the house of God,
and, if we can’t be reverent there,
as we should, the least we can do is
be quiet. The purpose of a church
service is not to give us an oppor
tunity to discuss clothes, or the new
girl, or the coming dance, or going
home—or anything! The purpose
of the service is to bring us nearer
to God. We can progress only by
paying attention, being quiet, and
following and taking part in the
service.
If we don’t have respect for our
selves, let us at least have respect
for God!
ON THEIK SIIOULDEES
Important in the news of the
world this week is the conference
which is to be held in Paris during
the first of May. This is going to
be a conference for the purpose of
planning peace. Delegates from
twenty-one nations will enter into
the discussions. Recommendations
and suggestions for the peace of the
world in the future will be consid

take a major part in the conference.
With delegates from all the twenty-
one nations present, the people of
the world should have a very good
representation. After the advice of
the delegates is heard, the Big Four

Peals ♦ . ♦
Certain members of the senior
class seem to be doing quite a bit of
rewriting these days. It appears to
be a question of mine or yours.
Soap operas have reached an un
precedented importance since the
will get to work and draw up the
treaties for what we hope to be last
ing peace.
Let us hope that the men who are
responsible for this important work
will bring forth such valuable treat
ies that war will not threaten the
earth for years to come. Our future
rests on their shoulders.

Remarks: Bright “puppy dog”
eyes, short cropped hair, little pug
nose, and a cute little figure all go
together to mean “Spot.” She’s al
ways happy and full of life, and
you’d know her anywhere by that
gay laughter. Proof of her creative
talent in the art line are the murals
drawn in the publications room.
Friendly, co-operative, and lots of
fun describe the senior class vice-
president.
sunporch came into use. SMS stu
dents take their “Life” second-hand
by necessity, not preference.
With Spring comes, as usual, a
slight taste of onions in the milk. It
may not be as good as Kick-a-Poo
Joy Juice but in strength it’s the
best Saint Mary’s has to offer.
Decorations for the Junior-Senior
seem to present the problem at pres
ent. Dates may be required to fur
nish their own fire extinguishers and
not for protection against the girls.

Remarks : Mary is one of the few
girls who really deserves the word
“sweet.” She has been working like
a Trojan all year on that recital of
hers, and from all reports it will be
wonderful. Outside of being a fine
musician, she rates also as a “good-
all-round” person and one you’d be
proud to call a friend.
