BEHAVE ACCORDINGLY
Our last few days of school to
gether are here. To the seniors
and the girls not planning to re
turn next year, it is probably more
significant than to the others. All
of us want to see more of one an
other now than ever before, try
ing to crowd into a little time a
lot of memories. Yet even though
we are rushing things, let’s not
forget that school is not yet over,
that we all have work to do; and
let’s be considerate of one another,
extremely considerate.
Everyone has a great deal of
work to do in winding up a year’s
work and a year’s living away
from home, and even if there is a
lot of fun in the hard work of it,
let’s not relax on the regulations.
When all the exams are over and
graduation week-end is actually
here, let’s remember that ive still
have a lot to do. Let’s remember
that many outsiders are here for
the week-end and that they will
form their impressions of the
school from our behavior. Let’s
remember that we are still Saint
Mary's girls, and behave accord
ingly.

Remarks: Probably you won’t
recognize the name Dorothy . . . and
very probably a certain dark-haired
girl won’t answer unless you happen
to call “Dee,” and then that slow
smile will start right away. Dee is
one of the most poised girls you will
find anywhere. She seems to be al
ways in command of the situation

Sophomore Suzie
(From P. 1, Col. 1)
Lavan Baltzell, chief marshal, drops
the handkerchief, officially ending
the school year.
Your English exams are finished,
Suzie, and you have spent your last
hours of work at Saint Mary’s. It
will not be the pnd of Saint Mary’s
though, because the memories and
friendships will last you the rest of
your life.
Week-end before last will no doubt
head the lists of a great many memo
ries. It was a beautiful sunshiny
week-end and you would never have
suspected that a dark cloud of exams
was about to come over us. I’ve
heard several people say that the
dance was the best girl-bi-eak of the
year. Every girl must have had her
“favorite person” come to it; I have
never seen so many good looking
men on one dance floor, except at the
Junior-Senior. “Red” Munro made
his first appearance at Saint Mary’s,
and ho learned quite a few “nuin-

Remarks : That gal that knocks a
twenty-five yard goal in hockey,
throws a tricky ringer in basketball,
has a strong return in volleyball,
and has a “home run” swing in base
ball is Nina Mae. But she’s not
only fast in sports; you should see
her whip off an English test! She’s
through when we’ve just put our
pens down. (I’ve heard she writes
in shorthand.) Dependability, ver
satility, and an all-round good sport
add up to Nina Mae.
was sporting a brand new ff
from State. She’s going to
hers”! I wonder if he suspected that
we aren’t all registered members of
the Night Owl Club? Dabney, that
fancy jitterbug “scratching” was
very imjjressive. Now wait a min
ute ;■ are you sure your date couldn’t
dance, Margo? Tell him we’ve heard
that one before! He was mighty
cute though. (Please don’t censor
this, Mr. Moore.)
Myrtle’s brother certainly is at
tractive.
Making plans for a reunion in
five years surely did bring to mind
some strange conceptions as to what
our friends will have become by
then. I heard somebody say with
over-optimistic anticipation, “Can
we bring our children to the reun
ion ?” Imagine Helen Madre with a
bawling baby under her arm! I
hear the “Prophets” are concocting
some beautiful futures for us. I
hope they have me a graduate of
Saint Mary’s!
Saints^ Sallies
Worst fault—“Crossing bridges be
fore I get to them.”
Odd likes—driving in the rain, up
per berths.
Pet passion—snowy days and sled
riding, parties, dances, and sleep
ing late.
Offices, clubs, etc.—Dauce marshal;
vice-president of Granddaughters’
Club; Belles Staff; Art Club; Po
litical Science Club; Woman’s
Auxiliary; Mu, Hockey and Bas
ketball teams.
Remarks: Helen is the one who
always greets you with a sweet
smile. She is usually seen down at
the post office waiting for that letter.
Popular, dependable, and friendly
all describe her. Good in sports, she
is a loyal Mu. Saint Mary’s will
miss her next year.
The campus is gay these
with hopeful talk of summer plj
and next year. There’s a toud;
sadness, though, for those ’
won’t be coming back next ,V‘
