BetyiarlhS: Hosa has contributed
much to the school through her de
pendability and likeableness. Saint
Mary’s is losing one of its grandest
girls and we will all miss hei.
KNOW YOUR OFFICERS!
Do we kiioiv our officers? H
this question ivere put to us, the
majority would uiithinkiiigly an
swer in the affirmative. Yes, ive
know the girls we selected to lead
us; we nominated them and we
elected them.
But do we really Mow these girls (
AYlien we voted we thought care
fully about the girl we chose; we
considered her capabilities, her ac
tivities, and her leadership. In
short, we looked upon our candi
date from an impersonal point of
view.
An officer in a small school can
not be impersonal. She must he
intimate with, and command the
close friendship of her associates
in order to fill her position to the
highest efficiencj'. It is we, the
electorate, who must pave the
road to intimacy with our officers
for the coming year. There is
enough time remaining in this
school year to begin our job by
June let’s be able to say, We
know our officers, and mean it!”

BUILD SCHOOL SPIRIT!
There are many things that can
produce a good school spirit. This
spirit is not something that just
happens; it is the result of the ef
forts of a united body of people
working together to achieve a goal.
Participation in extracurricular ac
tivities goes a long way toward cre
ating a good school spirit; it also
gives everyone a chance to broaden
his interests and meet more people.
At Saint Mary’s athletics is one
of the most important extracurricu
lar activities and when we have a
chance to participate in .sports we
should do so. Some people try to
excuse themselves by saying that
they are not athletic. This is a
poor excuse because the purpose is
not necessarily to win but to have
fun and combine your interests with
those of other people. The chance
of participation is given to us al
most every day. The athletic socie
ties sponsor swimming meets, volley
ball tournaments, softball tourna
ments and many others throughout
the year. It is your chance to create
and improve school spirit. What
are you going to do with it, build it
up or tear it down?
We’ve all heard Benjamin
Franklin’s famous saying, “Neith
er a borrower nor a lender be,
but do we take it seriously? Most
of us borrow pack other’s books,
hats, and jewelry ivithout even a
passing thought. It’s merely part
of the fun of being at school.
However, this idea of borrow
ing has another side. We have
been to the library, perhaps at the
last minute, to use some reserve
books or read a new’S article in a
magazine, and we were very much
annoved to find them gone fi om
the siielf. After a thorough search
through the library the books or
magazines ivere still missing. We
were frantic. Through someone’s
carelessness or selfishness we ivere
unable to finish our work. Calling
down a thousand evils on the
guilty individual, we stormed out
of the library, voiving never to be
so selfish that we would inconven
ience others. We have in mind the
cases dealing w’ith Ifoliday maga
zine and the Shakespeare Survey
by E. K. Chambers wdiich, inci
dentally, is out of print.
When this girl took the reserved
material she probably did not stop
to think how she ivoiild have been
inconvenienced by the same situ
ation. Maybe she did stop and
decided to take the books anyway.
What she did was dishonest and
unfair. In order to achieve her
own ends, she prevented other
girls from reaching theirs. Multi
ply this example by three hundred
aiid a serious situation develops.^
When we came to Saint Mary s
we pledged ourselves to uphold
the Honor Code. We are now^ on
our honor to correct this situation.
We aren’t children any longer,
and all the old excuses are wear
ing out. One thought can save a
lot of trouble.
spring has arrived and dont say
we didnt warn you because we did
as you recall we made one of our
sure fire predictions a few weeks
ago it usually does sooner or later
you know or didnt you spring is the
only thing in this jaded age that
people dont get callous about and
time creeps in its petty pace from
day to day until june 7 spring is the
time when all the belles get out and
gambol around the campus for may
day and in case you should miss us
we’re the third peasant from the
right the one with the fuschia pants
and the pained expression who
knows we may even be able to lose
our inhibitions and get into the spirit
of things if we dont run into a tree
personally we’re convinced that we
have entirely too much temperament
to be a lowly peasant we certamly
have the qualifications for a sight
unholy and whats more they dont
wear fuschia knee pants either what
are you mumbling about periods
were writing this not you and we
happen to like it that way were
aghast at the number of young men
of nineteen or twenty or thereabouts
wandering around convinced that
they have ulcers one of our friends
advocates Noxzema taken internally
as the only sure remedy and is it
good of course there’s always the
chance that you may become addict
ed to the stuff and then think what
a life youd lead Noxzema three times
a day what would you like Noxzema
on rye might even be construed as a
social error and nice people would
cross to the other side of the street
but who knows any nice people and
while we’re on the subject that s a
very ambiguous term nice nowadays
means ])eople who brush their teeth
twice a day and refrain from beat
ing their wives in public we say let’s
all go live in greeiiwich village and
create something for its hey nonny
nonny the bohemian life is the life
for us
