The Belles of Saint Mary’s
Sophomore Suzie
My, but we grow more childish
by the day! Here we are practi
cally graduates of Saint Mary’s
Seminary for Sophisticated Seniors
and we spend our good studying time
playing “Drop the Handkerchief”
and ^Tarmer in the Dell.” Sarah
thought she could be “growny”—she
wore her brand new white spectators
out to play, but they weren’t white
long!
Ha ! Ha I We know who Sally
Ann loves. She had to tell us when
we played “Eing Around the Eoses.”
Dabney and Jane just couldn’t get
enough of those olive sandwiches.
They kept insisting on seconds and
finally got a whole plate of ’em!
IVell, they do look like cases of mal
nutrition. ’Sense me, please; I’ve
been studying Pope.
That long awaited day finally
came when the movie we’ve all been
living to see came to town! From
all rejjorts nobody was intending to
see Spellbound less than three times.
That Gregory Peck can surely be my
patient anytime! Can one learn to
he a doctor at Carolina?
This April sun is really working
on our lily-white skin. People down
town are beginning to ask our friends
when they got back from the beach.
Ey the way, what happened to that
beach trip we were planning to take
this week-end? Don’t tell me home
has better things to offer! Yes, I
must agree it does.
The acceptances to other schools
are coming in slowly, but they are
coming. Sallie, Helen Barnes, Es
telle, Hina Mae, and Harriet have
been accepted to Carolina. Margo,
Dabney, and Emma Katie are still
waiting by their mail-boxes, but I’m
sure they have nothing to worry
about. Poncie is going to Eandolph-
Macon, and Kathryn is going to
Sweet Briar (she thinks). Haven’t
heard where the remainder of the
’46ers are going (quit smiling, Lib
Price!) ; but let’s have a reunion at
the Sir Walter next fall.

ORCHIDS OR GARDENIAS?
“Spring is here
The grass is riz,
I wonder where
The flowers is.”
Yes—at last, after much indeci
sion, Spring has decided to come
for good, and with it has come Eas
ter. (Kow how’d we guess that?)
However, it must be admitted by
all concerned that the literary genius
who wrote the choice hit of word-
mangling with which this thesis be
gan was not thinking of Saint
Mary’s.
The “old gals” knew*what to ex
pect, but most of us, after viewing
the monstrous pile of white and lav
ender boxes in the post office on
Saturday morning, thought we were
still asleep, dreaming that we were
working in a florist’s shop. As one
stood there one heard various cries,
“Oooh! from Bill! ... It isn’t from
Jim, it’s from my Daddy, sigh, but
isn’t Daddy sweet?”
The poor souls whose flowers had
not come yet gazed sadly at a lucky
mortal staggering under a dozen
boxes, and wended their weary way
(familiar?) upstairs to find solace
in their Easter bonnets.
Then, as usual, everyone’s “man”
came in the afternoon (Joke), and
even the sun-porch appeared a little
deserted, except for a few ambitious
people who “just couldn’t wear that
white dress to the early service with
my legs looking like so much cream
cheese.”
It’s rather sad that the flowers
had to deliver themselves so prompt
ly Saturday morning. The Hall
Presidents lost their one chance of
being received with loving smiles.
The odd angles at which some of
us have been walking recently is not
a new version of the “debutante
slump.” It is only the result of a
little “Guess” work.
The solution as to the absence of
that beloved peal from the hells these
last few days is still a little hazy.
It is said, however, that certain halls
have adopted the theme song, “Have
You Got Any Gum, Chum?”
Sunday morning brought more
flowers (and specials and telegrams),
and Saint Mary’s trooped into the
study hall in patent leather spikes
and enough corsages to do justice to
any dozen self-respecting florists.
We saw quite a few unusual ones—
two rose, yes really blushing, or
chids; some “yaller” ones; and even
two tiny orange ones. As always,
there were the beloved purple or
chids.
As we braved the atmosphere of
gardenias and went into church, the
beautiful altar made Easter seem
even more real to us.
Then came the mad dash for slips,
the search for the date, whom one
couldn’t leave stranded among “all
those girls,” and lastly the race for
the “Sir Walter or the Green Grill.”
Easter ended (as Shelley said to
his vegetable garden, when it came
up in January) all too soon, and
Saint Mary’s bade the dates good
bye, hung up Easter “outfits,” put
fluffy hats into nests of tissue, and
settled down.
After a good-night “peek,” the
corsages were put to bed in their
boxes and, with luck, will probably
be popping up on shoulders and
heads for the next several weeks.
(If the corsage was gardenias, it’ll
have to betake itself to the bulletin
board to remind the proud owmer of
“the. day.”) Then—but we’ve got
to run now, and water that orchid
we got Easter before last. It’s been
looking sorta down an’ out since the
Christmas tree fell on it.
