Member Plssocided GoUeSiole Press N. C. Collegiate Press Association Rumor Must Be Stopped! Forgotten Class Makes A Plea For Tradition “Stuffing the ears of men with false reports.” I\Ir. Shakespeare has done it again. Up he comes with a per fect definition of that tempting demon, Eumor. If there were a poll to decide who gets around most at Saint Mary’s I’d wager my bottom dollar for Rumor, who manages not to creep around si lently, but showingly stalks into every conversation. She makes things interesting enough, alwaj^s at the expense of some innocent victim. When A tells B something that C said, B is usually anxious for X to share the choice bit, so she rushes to tell X, whose creative imagination makes the tale even better than it ivas when it started. Several weeks ago at Saint Mary’s rumor had it that Miss Morrison had sprung a looooong research paper to be done over the week end ! And according to rumor, Mr. Moore’s assignments get worse every hearing. Not only is academic rumor de moralizing, but whispered rumors about students do not make for a happy student bodjL Rumor is rife. Don’t believe it unless you hear it from the person concerned herself. Not even if A swears B is correct about what C did should we believe it. Shakespeare says “rumor is a pipe blown by surmises, jeal ousies, conjectures . . . the multi tude can play upon. On rumor’s tongues continual slanders ride.” Instead of licking up every bit of gossip and exaggerating it so that it actually oozes with un truths, let’s practice stopping rumors when they reach us . . . just to see what will happen. Are you a member of Saint Mary’s forgotten class? The long slighted sophomore class will this year as in the past, unless certain changes are made, graduate from the high school course in a short and completely unfitting cere mony, with little significance. Is this the impression they are to carry away of the last important event of their high school careers ? Saint Mary’s is founded on tra dition. Tradition, when based on sound reasoning, is an important part of the spirit of a school, but it can become dangerous if it is used as an excuse to block desir able changes. A high school graduation is as important as graduation from a junior college, which is not actu ally graduation from either high school or college. After four years work, the graduating student deserves more than mereU’ having a diploma thrust at her, with machine-like precision. She has earned, and is entitled to an appropriate cere- monj% with the added dignity of caps and gowns; an exercise that can be remembered as a fitting climax to an important period in her life. Featrice Barefax Belles Dear Miss Barefax, Friday afternoon I dashed back from the Little Store where I had purchased cookies, candy, potato chips, crackers, peanut butter, rais ins, fruit juice, apples, oranges, and relish—all in preparation for a birthday party for my roommate. I prepared the food in the most deli cate and tasteful manner, called my roommate, showed her what I had done, and explained the time and effort I had spent in preparation. But, Miss Barefax, I had neglect ed the one essential thing necessary to Saint Mary’s parties. How could I forget the onion sandwiches! I was forced to resign from the 0. S. C. (Onion Sandwich Club) and now I spend my waking hours with hu man beings. I can bear anything but this! What can I do to redeem myself ? Frantic W. FRANCES ISBELL Age—18 and eleven twelfths.

Poll Reveals Student Opinion of Dining Rooi^ TINKLES And did you hear about the day Mr. Guess was talking about the man who had shocks and bonds in the General Electric Company?

EMMIE ROAVLAND Dear Frantic, I realize the seriousness of your mistake, but if you heartily repent of your misdeeds I feel that you may petition to the members of the 0. S.
