Thanks To Alumnae'
A Beautified Room
Students at Saint Mary’s next
year probably will have to sat
in their very best bibs and
tuckers to keep up with the
“new dress” of the dining room,
for the redecoration of the din
ing room,'thanks to the alum
nae, may begin this summer!
At the recent alumnae coun
cil meeting at Saint Mary’s,
April 9, the group voted unani
mously to designate $3,000 of
the alumnae funds for the
project of the year. Since that
meeting an additional $409.05
from chapters and individual
contributions has been col
lected.
Also the class of ’44 has de
cided to give its fund of $500
in bonds to further the project,
and other classes are consider
ing giving their funds. The
council aims to reach $1,000 in
additional collections by the
general meeting in June. Stu
dents may contribute in the
alumnae office.
