Delicate Problems
Face Miss Barefax
Dear Peatrice Barefax,
Please, please, advise me in the
time of my dire need! 1 came to
S.M.S. a happy, carefree .young
girl, full of expectations. Upon
arriving I was greeted at the door
by a human being(?), a girl(?),
who I soon learned was to be niv’
roommate. At first 1 thought we
would get along fine, and we did
—until her little mannerisms be
gan to become annoying. The first
peculiarity 1 noticed was her
strange habit of gargling with mv-
Channel No. 5. 1 didn’t hold this
against her because 1 was advised
not to let my first impressions
guide mj^ conclusions when meet
ing new people. However, nn*
suspicions were aroused when I
discovered her beating a hole in
the closet door with her head;
this, too, 1 could overlook because
the door is hard to open. But, Miss
Barefax, nij^ resistance is now
wearing thin. It’s not that 1 mind
her playing paper dolls b.y flash
light, but 1 work hard and need
mj" sleep—and \u)ur help.
• Desperate,
,7. Quiet must be maintained
during this entire procedure.
, 8. Post these rules in your room
at once.
Feat rice Barefax.
Dear Peatrice Barefax,
1 am faced with a terrific prob
lem. 1 am very much in love with
a tall, dark, and handsome young
man who has alreadv distin
guished himself in the Bug, Plea,
and Gnat Extermination Co. of a
near-b.y citj’. i love him verj’
dearh’, but 1 am afraid that the
new DDT spray will ruin his busi
ness and leave us in- poverty- soon
after our marriage. Should 1 take
a chance and marrv m.v choice,
or should I devote my life to high
er things!
Perplexed.
Dear Perplexed,
There are some types of insects
that DDT does not affect. Maybe
A’our bo.v friend could specialize.
Peatrice Barefax.
With the Inaugural Ball and all
its social trimmings “gone under the
bridge,” activities of the day stu
dents have quieted down a few paces.
Not for long, though, because exams
are just around the corner.
The fast-stej)ping from party to
party has stopped for awhile, and
the dances these days are few and
far between. The girls have settled
down to the long hard pull toward
spring which now seems so far away.
With not so many outside activities
the day students are working girls
in everj' sense of the word.
One of the day students has been
honored bj' Saint Mary’s. Alary
Marshall Ragland has been selected
as a member of the Maj' Court.
Congrats to j’ou, Mary Mar.!
Nobody seems to enjoy gym more
than Virginia Page and Margaret
AIorris. They must have those “ath
letic tendencies” we’re always hear
ing so much about.
Many of the daj' students have
been raving over the Raleigh Little
Theatre’s production of Laura. They
have seen the thriller on the screen
and liked it as well as the one pre
sented by the local playmakers. Anne
Dewey. Ileartt and Joan Steiber
came back to school all excited after
seeing the “missing Laura” come
back to life and the villain sent to
his just end.
. xVnother attraction that drew a
large number of day students was
the Laurence Olivier production of
Henry T’ on the screen at the Mai-
sity Theater. The girls who have
been laboring with Shakespeare got
a special thrill out of the beautiful
picture. Among the day students
seen in the audience were Anne Bad
ger Smith, Berta Allen Russ, Mar
guerite Burton, Jane Clendenin,
'Betty Debnam, Eliza Chipley,
Nancy Duckett, Cecile Bickett and
Mary Marshall Ragland.
Dear Desperale,
This is quite a delicate situa
tion and must be handled tact-
fhdl.v. There is no cause for real
alarm. However, there are a few
simple but helpful rules that you
could follow when she becomes
violent:
1. Turn on the lights.
2. Close the windows.
8. Take a bath towel.
4. Put on warm coat and stuiah’
.shoes.
5. Close door and transom of
room.
6. Proceed bv selected route to
appointed place on campus.
Dear Miss Barefax,
I’ve had a crush on a tall (well,
rather tall) dark and handsome (to
me) man (?). He has many out
standing qualities. Among them are
my undying love, and cabbage ears
which 1 think are beautiful because
cabbage is my favorite dish. He
asked me for iny first date last Sat
urday, and we went to his Boy Scout
meeting. Between mouthfuls of
bubble gum, he told me that he loved
me. Do you think he is worthy of
nqy affection?
Confused
Dear Confused,
1 can’t be a good judge of your
friend’s personality because you de
scribed only his distinguishing looks.
However, he sounds fascinating
(?1), and I’m sure that you must
find Boy Scout meetings entertain
ing if nothing else. Of course it
depends on what you are scouting
for 1
Sophomore Suzie
“Bees are not as busy as we think
they are—they just can’t buzz any
slower.”—Kin Hubbard, Wornan’s
Home Companion.
M’'ell, I guess zero hour is here at
last. Have you ever had butterfiies
in your tummy? If you haven’t, ole
Suzie will tell you what they are.
They are part of that material
3'ou’ve crammed into your head while
studying during the past week. Most
everybody’s brains are too small to
take care of it so it seeps (that’s my
favorite word) into your tummy and
churns around. Then is the time
that you feel in need of a Turns for
the tummy; and that, in short, is
what butterflies are.—You may or
may not have them, but good luck
on your exams anyway.
This afternoon I was over in Holt
getting some tid-bits of gossip to
write about the Seniors. (I write
about them ’cause they’re so inter
esting—well, no, maybe “interesting”
isn’t the word I’m seeking; but any
way it expresses the idea.) J. B.
(that’s the polite name they-have for
Miss Brown, chairman of the hall
council) was telling me that every
body had finished following the trav
els of the Night and You Know.
That’s what I mean about those un
intelligible seniors. How should I
know ?
Lelia and Langley were telling me
that they were studying the writings
of some old [lals of theirs for their
English exam: Old Homer, Dante,
Virgie, Jeff Chaucer, and Eddie
Spenser. I guess they meant some
boj's from their home towns. Lelia
lives in Rome and someone told me
that that is where Yirgie is from, so
I suspect that my suspicion is right.
You know, I just caught myself
singing// Winter Comes, ('an Spring
Be Far Behind? That really is a
big “if,” isn’t it? The way I’ve got
spring fever now, spring must be
kinda (pai'don, Mr. Moore) rather
close. But then I’m not sure it’s
here ’cause nobody has been pinned
or engaged lately and in the spring
a young man’s fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love. However, I under
stand that Ladre and Frances are
scared that fancy isn’t coming their
waj^ this spring—well, anyway ’til
their hair grows out. Yes, they got
the West Rock bug for cutting bangs.
And, incidentally, if you see a couple
of foreigners on campus, one Chinese
and the other Dutch, just remember
that it’s them (oh, what a mistake,
“they”!).
Well, if I expect to still he an
S.M.S. student when spring does
come, best I crack a book oi' two.
Good Luck! See you after exams!
