Carolina was swarming with Saint girls for finals. Charlie Bur- "stt played, and everybody had beau- '’^P fun in spite of “Gloomy Sun- w’ at the concert. Some of the p^hy belles were Roz Senseney, Allison, Betty Winfree, Alary ei English, Olivia Lynch, Beth I'^'i'ris^ Lihha Roe, Alary Ann Gray, esalie Iluske, Lila Rousseau, Jean ^^9^ish, Betty Bowles, Al Wilson, J^nny Ann Landis, Nancy Dixon, Stockton (she took her own ®otig___a V.P.I. man !), Patty Starr, ehs Wooten, Lila Camp, Frankie ' lien, Betsy Wood, Caroline Cobey, Cahoon, Binny Chew, Kather- Holmes, Mary Giles Stewart, Roberson, Skeelie Wilkins, ^'^Ruth Alorrissett. jMate is really having its last big j^S) too. Everyone’s still talking that wondei’ful S.A.E. picnic should I say S.A.E.-Saint picnic! I could never tell Ieveryone there, but here’s a few: ^^.Raliferro, Margie Story, Mar- l^-yVallace, Gwen Hopkins, Sue Charlotte Homes, Pepper Helen Young, Jo Bailey, Douglas, and Isabel Carter. \Uhe State Freshman Dance had Ac?/ Davis, Gwen Hopkins, Betty U I’dn, Mary Ruth Ruble, Barbara Sissy Rhodes, Alary DuBose, lj***se Boyle, Jackie Knott, Rebecca Ruth Maultsby, Ida.

How can West Eock get? never heard of so many dances! There was a square dance at State, and it was really scrump tious according to Betty Anne Wil liamson, Katie CUfton, Charlotte Wallin, Gloria Farnell, and Alice Sylvester. Charlotte met a darling pilot who “buzzed” Saint Mary’s Sunday afternoon. Wonder how she arranged that? Lila Camp has taken off for June Week at West Point! The “fishing” seems to bo fine up north. Ann Taliferro is still as true as ever to U.V.A. She’ll be there with her Sigma Chi for finals, and Alartha Wallace can’t wait until finals at Hampden Sydney! This slio’ seems to be picnic weather and have the S.P.E.’s and Kappa Sigs been taking advantage of it! Siisa7i Davis, Sue Joyner, Nancy Dixon, and Liba Kornegay hold out for the S.P.E.’s while Anne Ackerson swears that it takes the Kappa Sigs to really throw a picnic! Liz Erdman surely must hate for school to end if all the attention she’s been getting from that “certain someone” means anything! There seem to be two sides to that ques tion, however. Patsy Davis can’t wait to get home to see her “week end visitor” all the time. Houseparty plans are already shaping up!! Ann Patterson and Betsy Wood are throwing a house- party right after school for all East Eock. Those girls certainly have some rare times ! Louise McCann has big ideas for a houseparty to beat all houseparties at Ocean Drive the middle of June! Betty Bevan is planning a “reunion” houseparty in July for the sophomores—and at Virginia Beach!! Can all those wonderful things I’ve been hearing about that place be true! ?! It sounds heavenly. They don’t seem to come much more ])opular than Saint Mary’s, do they? It’s a nice thought, anyway! But best I hurry now and try on my cap and gown for the hundredth time! Much love and a wonderful sum mer. Sophomore S u z i ^ 'jii days!

A), ’ ^es, ’tis the close of another oh, how it’s closing!— Fang and a closer outlook \ ;hre. Not only has “Nature ^^^ordsworth” brought to Did you notice how pat to mind the lovelier aspects of na ture, but nature came to us. Yes, the West Eock girls were calmly sitting in their rooms one night last week when the branches of the oak tree waved them a rather sudden hello. Just don t think that S.M. didn’t hit the front page of the Times, ’cause it did! But does it have to take a falling tree to get publicity ? I thought that maybe we’d get it through the spectacular suntans attained on the sun porch. But no, they closed the beach to all members. No more brown bodies; no, not for “Bee’s Knees Euffio” or “Spider’s Elbow McNaught”—not even for the “Black Beast.” Well, exams are over, and re exams too, and 1 ’spose we’re ’bout ready to think of next year and all the big plans we’ve made. Just wish I was coming back, but since it can’t be done, Suzie wants to leave one serious note (you must admit it’s my only serious note of Perishing Gals Qet Salvation at Last It was a hot, still afternoon; after hours of studying or sleep ing, what could be more refresh ing than a long, wet drink of cool water? This delightful thought was in the minds of almost all the Saint Mary’s wilted belles as they struggled one by one to the foun tains and were greeted by only a slight explosion and a sad puff of steam. At first it was a joke, for after all, what were a few parched throats? It was just like a ship wreck—all that was missing were Glenn Ford and a luscious island. Soon the joke became a little feeble. After a church service Avhieh seemed six times as long as usual, the dining room was bom barded for the tantalizing, luke warm milk which accompanied the banana and cheese crackers. The coke machine was almost torn apart, and after a while the poor thing collapsed; no amount of kicks and curses could get re sults! It was a lost cause. With their cokes clutched tightly in their arms, the fortunate few who had found cokes sneaked away to their rooms. Even the scanty taste of cokes and milk did not quench every one’s thirst. Soon furtive charac ters were seen sliding around corners with jugs of—could it be water? It must be! What else could look and taste so Avonder- ful? Cups of the precious liquid were ladled out and guarded as carefully as last year’s French exam. No one inquired too close ly as to the origin of this gift, but mutters of “underground springs” and “hidden wells” were heard. AVlio really cared as long as it Avas Avater ? This lovely stuff, metered out so minutely, Avent oiilj^ so far; soap stuck like a mask to every one’s face. Giving up in disgust, sleep seemed the next best thing, but Avith throats closing and lips cracking, it Avould not come. After Avliat seemed hours of tossing and humming brokenly “Cool AVater,” a great commotion sounded in the halls and betAveen shouts and rushing noises could be heard— running Avater! Could it be true? Had salva tion come? EveryAvhere doors Avere throAvn open. People dashed back and forth, splashing Avater and running their fingers through it. What expressions of delight lit all faces as the first trickle Avandered doAvn parched throats! Drenched and contented, the saints tottered off to bed for a peaceful night’s sleep. the year). It’s been such fun murdering the King’s English in “Sophomore Suzie” and Avriting to and for the girls I’ve been so proud to knoAv. Here’s hoping that every girl avIio comes to S.M. Avill love, enjoy, and cherish its memories as I do. For in three more da3^s Ave seniors Avill pass for the last time, as students, through these gates.
