Collegiate Press Association WITHOUT EXCUSE Far too many girls were late re turning to school after Christmas holidays. Some, it is true, were too ill to return on time and came as soon as they were able, but others delayed their return who had no truly deserving excuse. The latter have not only selfishly thrown the schedule of work out of order, but have also made it hard on the girls who had reasons to be late. It is very probable that if so many girls “extend their v'acation” again, re strictions and penalties may be put upon all those returning late. There’s another angle to this fair ness, too. Why should any one girl, or any one group of girls, have more holidays than the rest of us? Why not do right and come back on time—and stop trying to see what you can get awa.y with! “FIRM AND PATIENT VOICE” “A nervous nation found a firm and patient voice,” the voice of a practical politician, of an able, courageous, and invaluable man— James Il.vrnes, wbo bas recentl.v resigned his position as Secretary of State. To H.vrnes a sick nation looked for guidance. To H.vrnes, also, Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman looked for support and help. In both cases the seek ing parties were satisfied. This South Carolinian, possessing “rare tact and .judgment and—when necessarv—firmness and tenacit.v of purpose,” has had a steadying liand that, with his constant effort and influential decisions, helped steer our nation toward a speedier and more lasting peace. Byrnes, in his position, Yvas second only to the President, whom he assisted until his doctors Meet the Alumnae Secretary Saints' Salliesi You’ve all seen her working in the Alumnae Office and most of you know her, but to those of you who don’t, we’d like to introduce Miss Alice Bell, better known as “Allie.” Allie is well suited for her posi tion of alumnae secretary because she herself is an alumna of Saint Mary’s. During her two years here as a student she was secretary of student body, president of Sigma Lambda, and a member of the Cir cle, Granddaughters’ Club, Letter Club, publications staff, and other organizations. After graduation she attended the University of Xorth Carolina, where she majored in journalism and was a member of the Fi Phi sorority. She was then editor of the Carolina Co-operate for a year. Allie’s many duties include writ ing the alumnae news for the Bulle tin, handling alumnae dues, organiz ing alumnae chapters and meetings, handling publicity, preparing table lists for the dining room, directing SPOTLIGHT Perk up, readers! The Spotlight turns for this issue on a tall, grace ful senior with laughing black eyes and dark brown hair. She’s one of the “glamour” gals of Holt, and on Sunday and the week-days you’ll find her performing the duties of marshal. She’s active in sports, and —you guessed it long ago—she’s Elizabeth “Sande” Childs! This pert lass from Columbia, S. C., plans to attend the University of South Carolina next year after she is graduated this spring. Sande is not hard to please, for she has a long list of “likes.” She adores the Citadel, and you can often catch her humming “The Old Lamp lighter.” She loves Edisto Beach, buttermilk, and her new picture (just ask her about it!). . The only thing she would think of on the “nay” side was her dislike of other people who “smack” their gum—Sande likes to do it all by herself! firmly declared he must slow down. He did not creep out when he was in deep Yvater, but ivaited until the most important matters M’erc settled, leaving for his suc cessor a job well begun, well, ended. Discovering that the way to get along with Russia is to state firmly the policies and principles of the United States and stick to them, B.yrnes gained the respect of the Russian representatives. He made compromises with Russia, “skill ful and patient negotiations.” The news of his resignation ivas a shock to Washington and Amer ica. Although Byrnes has officiall.v^ resigned his top position, he has not lost his position high in the respect of America and the world. His sincerity, loyalty, truthful ness, determination, devotion to dut.v, and defense of American ideals place him along with Wil son and Roosevelt in the realm of the trul.v great Americans of this century. Granddaughters’ Club, and helping Miss Davis. When asked her pet peeve, she immediately answered “Alumnae who don’t get married in alphabeti cal order!” This naturally needed an explanation, and she was glad to oblige. “I hav'e to list in alphabetical order for the Bulletin the names of all alumnae who have been married. It never fails that the day before my list must be in, someone Yvhose name begins with an ffi’ or a ‘b’ gets mar ried, and I have to rewrite the entire list.” Allie’s likes are headed by red convertibles, Wrights ville Beach, people, and bridge. She dislikes having to get up for breakfast. She had to stop a second to con sider her hobby; then she announced, “My hobby is going places—purely for educational purposes, of course!” Although this is her first year here as alumnae secretary, Allie has already become a popular member of the staff. Marquand^s Novel, B* F/s Daughter, Tops Reading List Three very different types of nov els heading the Xew York Herald Tribune’s list of “What America Is Reading” are among the iieYV books received at our library. At the top of the list is B. F.’s Daughter, by John P. Marquand. It is the character study of a beautiful young girl, the daughter of a Yvealthy industrialist. Dominated all her early life by her father, she in turn tried to dominate the lives of the two men who loved her. The book Yvill hold your attention to the end. Solid Reading If you are looking for more solid reading, try the second book on the list. East River, a Novel of Xew York, by Sholem Asch, one of our major contemporary Yvriters. The scene is laid on Forty-eighth Street in Xew York, a melting-pot of many nationalities and religious faiths, separated by di\'erse origins and prejudices, but united in their com mon struggle for existence. The story centers around a saintly Jewish storekeeper and his tv'O sons, one a sensitii'e, scholarly boy, a vic tim of infantile jiaralysis; the other, a boy who showed early promise of success in the business world— success sometimes attained by ques tionable means. Those yvIio enjoyed this author’s The Xazarene Yvill not want to miss this noY'el in a twenti eth century setting. Historical Novel For a historical novel, ive recom mend Holdfast Gaines, by Odell Shepard and Willard Shepard, cov ering the period of the Revolution, the Yvestward expansion, and the War of 1812. It is the story of Holdfast Gaines, a Mohegan Indian brought up by an American family after his tribe yy’bs YY'iped out in a massacre. The story “has the SYY'eep of the old sagas; it packs an amaz ing amount of America in the mak ing; it pictures the pulsing heart Chaos reigned Jan. 2 as f’ “Saint” tried to relate her mas experiences at the same tit f’r instance . . .
