is to be given.
This interesting program is sched
uled for opening around October 21.
Students who want season tickets
for these plays are asked to sign up
in the covered way.
Saint Alary’s physical education
department, in order to promote
interest in sports and to give stu
dents more time for studies, has
organized a new plan of activities
for the coming school year. This
plan does not affect new students,
who will continue to have two
scheduled hours of gyin a week.
It does, however, affect second-
year students, who will be per
mitted to elect one activity a week
in addition to one weekly hour of
scheduled gym. Third- and fourth-
year students will continue to
make up two outside hours a week.
The electives offered to second-
year students are: until Thanks
giving—riding, archery, hockey,
dance club, advanced swimming,
and beginner’s swimming; during
the Avinter season—basketball,
correctives (with possibly an exer
cise class), badminton, life-saving,
and dance club; and during the
spring season—volleyball, soft-
ball, archery, riding, swimming
club, tennis, and dance club.
Sigma and Ain tournaments will
be held as usual, and the Athletic
Council is planning to revise the
Sigma-Alu constitution and alter
the requirements for entrance in

“AViiere are my- gloves?” . . .
“Please zip me up! And hurry!”
. . . “Oh! 1 knew my hair wouldn’t
curl.” Such were the remarks that

Bnt when eight o’clock rolled
around, the parlor was glowung
with faculty members, ready to
welcome the now students to
Saint Alary’s. The front hall of
Smedes was crowded with chat
tering girls, anxious to meet the
new president and wary of for
getting the names of all the fac-
ulty.
At nine o’clock, after shaking
hands with ever-so-many unfamil

and many others.
’I’hird on the program was Sally

beautifully “Coinin’ Through the
Rye” and “Smilin’ Through.” Ann

Alarty Hinkle gave an original
dance; then Nancy Hannah, an
other of Saint Alary’s jmung sing

in a dnet, “Ah, Sweet Alysterv of
Life.”
AVith the singing of the Alma
