Belles of Saint Mary’s Griping Causes Discontent Since Christmas vacation thm’e had been a feeling of dissatisfaction and an unnecessary amount of grip ing among the students. However, all this unpleasantness actually proved to be a “tempest in a teapot. ’ Several incidents wdiicli took on the appearance of having untold im portance for the students have oc curred recently causing general dis content. The spirit that all this year has been laudatory and has created such a high type of school life, had reach ed the point of being destroyed. Con sidering this fact, a group of girls brought the situation to the atten tion of the dean. Alb causes for bitter feeling were discussed and ex plained to the immediate satisfaction of the group. The BELLES suggests that if other occasions for misunderstand ing should arise the students take up the matter with the dean directly. It is far better that students Avho are ignorant of • the causes for school regulations consult the authorities rather than stir up contention among fellow students. This curly-headed gal is every where at once, skipping from the Sigma Pi Alpha, of which she is president, to Dramatic Club, of Avhich she is president also. Since her father is a doctor, she spends part of her time at Doctors Daugh ters’ Club acting as secretary- treasurer. Then too she belongs to the Canterbury Club, the ■worthy Mu society, and is one of the chosen 16—the Hall Council. CAROLINA AND MEN! She is ambitious, looking for- ivard to graduation here in June (that is ambition!) and going to Carolina next year. Of course one of her ambitions is to get mar ried, but then one doesn’t have to have much ambition for that. There is only one thing she can say is her pet hate and that is ■wishing on the Ace, t^wo, three, four in a bridge game. But her pet passion is good-looking men— now that isn’t so strange is it? And speaking on this subject, she says that she’s wild about Mr. Moore. FAVORITES & ODD LIKES Her favorite articles of clothing are shoes and ear bobs. (I think they’re her hobby too from the collection she has of them.) Her favorite food is butter, and her favorite perfume is Bond Street. (Speaking of favorites, she’s one at Saint Mary’s.) Her favorite song is “Mountain Gal” though she likes “How Deep is the Ocean” too. When asked how she spends her spare time she answered, “You don’t know, do you?” Well, I don’t, but I can guess. Maybe she spends part of it trying to remem ber what meetings she is supposed to attend. 1 guessed this ’cause she says her worst fault is for getting meetings. This brown-headed mountain gal from Lincolnton has one odd like and that is her roommate Jo. I imagine that she has many minor odd likes ’cause she seems to. en- joy'everything she does, and that is one of the things which makes Phyllis Costner one of the girls which we are proud to say is a Saint Mary’s girl. There she goes down the aisle of church, shiny brown hair bobbing as she walks, sedate, dig nified, leading the crowd of girls. She is one of our SMS marshals, the one who is friendly, witty, and has a good head on her straight shoulders—a Will of her own. Her pet hate is waiting, so I guess she’s in for it ’cause she says she’s looking forward to 1950. She likes to spend her spare time talk ing to Betty Boop, who is her fa vorite odd like, and the other peo ple she happens to find around her in second Smedes, where she is always seen. Of course she’s seen there lots ’cause she’s their hall counselor. She is also seen in the parlor frequently meeting with the Doctors Daughters’ of SMS— reason—she’s their president. And why is she seen flying over to glee Horror Week Draws Nigh; Start To Work Time Gro'ws Short Before Week of Terror, Sleeplessness There is a certain little that comes twice a year of the saint lives in horror, know, exam week, worms have a blank The ’ express' and the average students a •as*'- perturbed look, but the nators stare in wide-eyed The time is nigh.

With this list, it’s easy to see why she says, when asked what her hobby is, “Hobby?—I haven’t time for one.” But this busy girl is quite easy-going and typical of the Georgia peach that she is. She is proud of her home, Hartwell, Georgia; as a matter of fact, she s wild about it. We all have our faults and so does our subject, but she can’t de cide what her worst one is—pro crastinating or forgetfulness. She also has a weakness for a few things such as Surrender per fume, “Begin the Beguine,” steak, and picnics. Her ambition is to be an interior decorator and she’ll more than likely succeed in that and other things- she attempts. AnjLway, with all she has in her favor, Jean Craft Jenkins should go far be cause it is through the fore-men tioned qualities that she has be come an outstanding SMS girl. crastinators; so there a plentiful supply of j,. books, but—eh gad 1—there , one.

Heartless? Cruel? tl''t Dear BELLES, The girls at Saint Mary’s have allowed themselves to lapse into a disgraceful habit, the habit of whis pering, talking, of even giggling dur ing chapel. We know that the con stant buzz that is heard during all parts of the service must shock and impress visitors. Our chapel is not the place for such conduct. It is ridiculous that we should have to rely on a rule requiring that students be penalized for making un necessary noise in chapel. This cour tesy is something that we should have learned in early childhood. To disregard it is a reflection on our background and upbringing. This practice is not only discourte ous ; it is above, all irreverent. Along that line we feel that nothing more need be said—reverence to God should be something that comes nat ural to us.

It was research paper time, and everyone was busy in English classes. In fact everyone was so busy that they did not even bother to pass note and bibliography cards from the teacher’s desk back to the respective owners, but threw them instead.
