The end has finally come and our days at Saint Maiy’s are over. Gosh, we’ve had a lot of fun. Re member last .vear wdien ive first arrived! \Vere we homesick? Just the thought of giving up that soft bed at home for a little cot, and getting up at 7 o’clock! Then the famil.v left; Casper rang the cowbell, and w'e all marched to the dining room to eat our first meal at Saint iMar.v’s—cheese and crackers, potato chips, grits, and peaches. Sure didn’t seem like home, but after all, ive were col lege girls now. It Girl-15reak.s .. was funny going up and breaking on a boy at the first girl-break, but in this wmy wm got to meet all the cute boys. Martha Conger had a date wdio wore an argyle sweater and a red tie; he really got a rush! After that things flew- along, and before we knew it, the seniors were going home for their long w'eek-end. It didn’t take Christmas long to get here, and for many of us it "was our first trip home. Remember how evervbody got the “flu” about a iveek before vacation started, and how Holt parlor was turned into a hospital ? Mary Anna, do ,von and Anne Huske remember iiow’ excited yon were w'hen .von came back to school with .vonr new' fur coats? Gosh, were we jealous! Next, here came Februar.v, and no doubt. Ginger, ■Wcddy.'and about eleveji others w'ill never forg.'t that fateful day of February 14th. Didn’t know' six w'eeks could be so long. Kjiriiifi? A^acatioii Spring vacation came none too soon, and w'hat fun! In fact, sev eral girls w'cre having so much fun thev didn’t make it back on lime. Then came ‘Alay Frolics” at Carolina. “Strook,” you ought to remember how' much fun that was. In the midst of all this Mi.ss Harmon gave us each a pig to dissect ill Biolog.v Bab. A asn t it about this same time that Peggy Fw'indell w'as a constant visitor to the Phi Gam house, and “Beau” Welsh thought of nothing but Fort Bragg? With May here our first .veai" of college life w'as al most at an end and none of us w'ere too sad, because .just tlm thought of being a senior next .vear w'as enough to make an.v- iiodv happy. By the end of May “Crow'” and Libba w'ere talking of nothing but Virginia Beach. “Demp” w'as in a w'orried state of mind as to how' she could possibly be at Camp Carolina on the gaturday Lvfore school W'as out, but things w'orked out fine. You reall.v didn t mis 3 too much, “Demp.” Sara M''P could hardly wait to see the land of Alabama. AJien Doolie drop ped the handkerchief, w'e didn’t know' w'hether to laugh or cry. Just think, w'e w'ouldii’t see “Wee ” “Teenie.” Loula, and Kathiwn again for a long time. It didn’t take us long to forget all thoughts of short stories, exams, and all our hard studying at Saint Hilary’s when we hit the cool w'ater at the beach and dated until all hours. . . . IJack Again September 18, and w'e w'ere all back. Seniors Jane Thomas and Joan Hassler came back pinned, and Marty Hinkle w'as desperate ly in love. In October “Bee” and “Bo” added their names to the list of girls pinned, but “Bo” quickly w'ithdrew' hers. The first big event wms the Stagecoach Dance. Lots of us agreed this W'as the best dance w'e’d ever been to. “Sibbie,” do you, Mary Leah, and “ilidgie” remember that night at the hotel after the dance? The Dnke-Carolina week end came next, and wTiat could have been more perfect than Tomm.v Dorsey’s music—unless it W'as Tex Beneke’s at Fall Ger mans. The month of December W'as full — Duke-Caroliua, PMU Germans, Senior Dance, and De cember 7th—one da.y some of us w'ould like to forget. Christma.s Christmas couldn’t have been better. A dance every night, and more men than it w’as possible to date. “Ginny” A'’oodle.v decided she wasn’t going to stay single an.v longer, so she popped up w'ith a diamond; then Cynthia, w'ho w'asn’t going to be outdone, told ns of her engagement. Right after all the excitement of Christmas W'e all found it hard to settle dow'ii to studying for exams, but nevertheless, w'e knew' w'e had it to do, and so w'e did. Will yon ever forget that English exam? For the first time Saint Marv’s gave evervbod.v a free w'eek-end after exams, and if an.vbod.v ever needed one, it w'as_ us. Mid-w'inters and Valentine’s blew' in in full force iu Februar.v, and after that Mid-w'inters at State. Luc.v Brew'er, .von remem ber that night. After w’e counted the da,ys for so long, March 21 ar rived. “Coop” and “Woolie” paw'ued just about evervthiug the.v ow'ued and had a w’onderful time in Xew' York. Bets.v Wetter- aii, W'e W'ere reall.v proud of j'ou w'hen you told tlm coffee to go boil some place else. Ann Jen nings, just remember KA’s are sw'el! at Georgia, but after all there’s no place like Chapel Hill. “Chubb.v” couldn’t let Fripp be ahead of her, so she jotted her name dow'u w'ith all the rest of gills W'ith “frat” pins. Margaret Lee put Saint Marv’s in the lime- I'ght W'hen she led the ring figure af V.M.I. Jlay Day Ma.v Da.v Saude, you really made us proud to have .vou as a memb r of our class. No Ma.v Queen ever looked prettier. Har riott, guess .vou remember that week-end and the Sigma Mn’s. Maggie, w'asn’t it fun on Tues- da.vs and Thursdays going to the little Store and w'aiting for those phone calls? Marv Anna beat us all W'hen she w'ent to the beach for her w'eek-end. May Tenth and Junior-Senior. Heavenl.v— that’s all W'e can say about that. And last of all finals at Carolina. The perfect w'ay to end our year. Library Receives Two New Books “Is our civilization doomed?” Although this question will probably alw'ays be unanswered, the signifi cant book, A Study of History, by Arnold J. To.ynbee, presents an ex cellent study of the rise and fall of civilizations. This book, a condensa tion by I). G. Somervell of Toynbee’s six-volume work, was presented to the Saint Mary’s library by Ylr. and Mrs. Oliver Craw'ley in memory of the late Eliot F. Stoughton. Airs. Craw'ley, the former Miss Adelaide JYinslow', ^ was assistant librarian liere at Saint Mar.y’s for three years. Probably one of the most out standing new books in the library is The New World, edited and anno- fated by Stefan Lorant. This book contains the first pictures of Amer ica made by John White and Jacques Le Moyne and engraved by Theodore De Bry._ It is beautifully bound, and the juctiires are repro duced in their original lovely colors so far as they have survived. “This book must be pronounced the most important historical volume of the year.” Although you may not have time to read a complete book in these last few days, it will be W'orth your time to look through this volume of America’s first picture—a W'ork of art in itself. Birthdays May 2i—Joanna Roberts 28—Nancy Gumming Musette Brown 30—Margaret Way June 1—Margery Garey Lizzie Hancock For lots of us it w'as our last trip to the Hill and w'e just had to make h, English quarterly or not! We’ve got so mucli to remem- ber—playing bridge till all hours tile D.I. and tlie fun we had' cooking hamburgers in the room' sleeping through breakfast, Mrs' S. T. Stevens, picnics, Lassiter’s Mill, the Soda Shop, trips to the Toddle House. Why, w'e could go on for pages, but you remember all of this and maybe a lot more. UNLUCKY? We thought W'e w'ere the un lucky class W'hen w'e got all the haid teachers and tough cours^.s but it hasn’t been so bad; it’s been fun. None of us w'ill ever regret these last tw'o years. Of course, for a few', things w'ere a little tough, but in time all the bad things W'ill be forgotten and the things that w'e’ll remember most W'ill be the friends w'e’ve made Just think, in 1985 you’ll be send ing your daughter to Saint Marv’s along W'ith the rest of us. Le't’s make these last few' days really count and tie our friendship knots just as tight as w'e can. Juniors, make the most of your senior year. It’s the best time of all. We’re leaving Saint Mary’s iii .voiu- hands; please take good care ■of it because it’s really a w'onder- ful place.
