A stranger walking 4>'ough the halls of Saint Mary’s Would think that June 6 had *heady come and gone, for most of ® Saints were taking advantage of Homeward last week-end. Giles Stewart, Beth Harriss, Bar bara Miller, and Tina McNulty. The Pika’s couldn’t let anyone get ahead of them. Their picnic was a big success so Bosalyn Senseney, Betty Broivn Leivis, Aurelia Fulton, Edith Redwood, Mary Ann Rose, Ruth Sikes, and Suzanne Dawson '*'>nd were Gwen Hopkins, Ann ^^'^^Mulla say. Pat George, Betty Emma Lou White, Pat Ca- p®'*, Alice Hicks, Mary Loti Byram, Williams, Dusty Sewall, Sam Patrick, Rachel Kearney, Ann ^^dener, Evelyn Oettinger, and Joyner. ^illa Cobbs and Jo Gaither went toJ: piiu but 'ttiory for Dooley’s Frolics. They say Georgia is as wonderful as d‘’’ certainly must think a cer „ 1" KA is, for she came back with H: new pin. That pin club is ;gi^; au' jhoj'® icb it }l getting popular.

Mary Jo Wag- \ Ann Johnson took their long at Wrightsville, while Cyn and Betty Anne Yowell went ll’-forehead.

Much fun! The Pika’s really seem to have captured the Belles’ hearts! This past week-end found Frankie Allen and Phyllis Costner at Davidson for the Pika Dream Girl Ball. South Carolina welcomed Amelia Town send and Nancy McKinnon back once more for the dances at Clemson. The Saints really do get around! JuHe McCutcheon and Buttercup McGuirk went to Virginia—Julie to Eichmond and Buttercup to Hollins. Buttercup is still raving'about those wonderful W. and L. boys! Scotty Kent went to Lumberton while Nancy Davis went back to Columbia with Gwen Hopkins.. Helen Brund- age is an ardent Army fan since Dusty Sewall took her to Fort Bragg for a week-end. Dusty came back with a new interest—an M.P.!! Weigee Switzer went to TVinston- Saleni and came back snowed ! The infirmary has been kept busy lately! Jean Lutz had an appendec tomy Saturday night, while Emma Lu White just recovered from a big dose of measles! Betty Bowles is opening a beauty parlor on second West Eock, and many of the Saints are making use of the BoAvles treatment. The ques tion now is, “which girl has the Bowles ?” It’s not hard to see that gradua tion isn’t far off. Pat Cahoon and Lila Camp are both sporting new cars while Stella Cobbs has a beau tiful ring! Speaking of graduation, that reminds us that exams come between now and then! That’s a dark thought, but summer will be here soon so we’ll just say “good luck and happy graduation!” ^^ditiori Says Kicking Post Will Increase Chances Of Getting Mail I)„ from October 22, 1943, BEIjLES) want mail? There is an tradition here at Saint that the Kicking Post will ht,- your chances of getting that letter. Hieking Post is the last metal '"•>([]°*^e post on the jjath to the ® House.

Slaughter on Tenth Avenue, from the MGM. musical Words and Music, and many songs from Oscar Ham- merstein’s South Pacific are head line material these days. On one side of a recent Columbia release, Dinah Shore wants to know What’s Good About Good-bye, while on the opposite side she shouts IIooray for Love. Don’t miss her rendition of You’ll Always Be the One 1 Love and Don’t Blame Me. Forever and Ever has enjoyed sev eral different recordings, but Buddy Clark just about has ’em all beat. For sheer listening pleasure just set tle down with MGM’s Derry Falli- gant record of A« You Desire Me and I Remember April. It should really put you in the right mood! Blue Room and its flii)over With a So7ig in My Heart, is a combination that one can’t afford to miss, so hurry down to the record shop or turn on that radio and see what you have been missing. a twenty minute walk befoi’e classes in the morning. So the girls began to stroll by this post and kick it in hope that the next mail call would bring the desired letters. “But we only kicked it,” said Miss Vann. Even since the beginning of school, this Kicking Post has worked won ders in many cases. Of course, we do not guarantee it, but if you pass the Kicking Post and give it your four kicks and a kiss, chances are that you will get some mail very soon. We also advise that you go up to your room and write some letters yourself. TOWN TALK An elderly Texas Negro on the racial problem: “De way Ah see it, de South hates de darky as a race, but loves him as a person, an’ de Kortli hates de darky as a person an’ loves him as a race.” Reader s Di gest. “Wha’ hoppened” to Alice Lide? That, it seems, is the question of the week. The “li’l man” himself would have jiroved less terrifying than the “sights unholy” that pursued her the other night. With groans and grotesque grimaces, Dracular and an ape-faced companion attacked the unsuspecting Alice. The prostrate victim collected her wits long enough to make a speedy get-away, but her composure dissolved into a severe case of shock immediately thereafter. Her terror changed to anger, how ever, when poor Alice discovered that Sara Ann Proctor and Anne Townsend had been her assailants. Next Week Will End Joy For Common Stock The annual Junior-Senior dance was certainly up to par this year; ill fact. Saint Mary’s was hostess to one of the most successful affairs of the .season. Betty Shields, Nancy Duckett, Shirley Fox, and (Jinny Page report that the dance was won derful, but “Shady” Stieber, 'Rite Burton, Joanne Liles, Joyce Richert, and Phyllis Kelly declare that the many after-dance parties were the events of the evening. The K.A.-Kappa Sig dance cap tured the interest of many day stu dents this week-end. Seen.at the picnics, parties, and last but not least, at the dance were Mary Mar Ragland, Bert Russ, Cecile Bickett, and Shirley Fox. The ones who went to Chapel Hill boast a wonderful week-end. Kitty anJ Joanne attended the Chi Psi houseparty while all of Luke Hill’s time was taken up by the Pika Dream Girl dance. Kot to be omitted from a list of the favorite week-end resorts is Wake Forest. Joyce Richert and ’Rite Burton took off to jiay the dea cons a visit at their annual Spring Dance. ’Rite was a sponsor for the Kappa-Sigs. There is a tie in the day students’ room as to the rather dubious dis tinction of being Miss Bad Luck of 1949. It seems that Peggy Sears went to Wrightsville and returned a bright lobster red. Her close run ning mate is Jeanne West who hit herself in the head with her tennis racket; she’s wearing an attractive The usual hordes of dating cou ples, the masses hurrying to town in the afternoons, the week-end rush to “the Hill”—all will come to a screeching cease next week. Saint Mary’s girls will be carrying expres sions of deepest anxiety comparable only to mourning. The drooping shoulders and dragging steps will further the theme of grief. There will be a few blessed mortals who maintain an air of nonchalance; they don’t have to worry. We of the common stock, however, will chew nails, have nightmares, and come dangerously close to cracking up. Why ? Oh—don’t bother to guess— it’s Exam Time! Boners May Even Show Up In Routine Clasess (Taken from Boners collected by Alexander Abingdon.) Sayings heard in various classes: Geometry; A circle is a line which meets its other end without ending. Chemistry: Water is composed of two gins : oxygin and hydrogin. Oxy- gin is pure gin; hydrogin is gin and water. Hygiene: Three kinds of blood vessels are arteries, veins, and cater- l)illars. Algebra: I’lie logarithm of a given number is the number of times the given number must be squared in order that the given number may be equal to this number. History: Magna Gharta said that the king was not to order taxis with out the consent of Parliament. English: A passive verb is when the subject is the sufferer as, “I am loved.” Homer wrote the Oddity. Bible: The Great Flood was sent because of the large number of dirty people. bandage over her left eye now. All of us are looking forward to our summer vacations. Heading the lists of plans in Mary Mar Ragland’s ])i-oposed European trip. She plans to visit England, France, Switzer land, and Italy. Sounds like a gay trip; we’ll all be waiting to hear about 'Those Far A^vay Places come September. Phyllis hopes to spend several weeks in Miami basking in the Florida sun. A rude contrast to these is Virginia- Page’s plan to go job hunting. Good luck, (Jinny! . ml m 'M
