Carolina Rooter? State Supporter? Neutral!! When I came to Saint Mary’s, the very first day, I Avas confront ed Avith a problem that I consid ered a major one. After Ausiting the girls in their rooms and talk ing Avith them, I realized that I Avould have to make a decision, Avhether it be “pro” on “con,” in order to end this controversy. Just tell me—Avhat Avould you have done in a case like this? After entering room after room in one of the dorms, I Avas sur prised to note that Carolina pen nants, Carolina beer mugs, and last, but not least, U.N.C. frat pins predominated in the entire south ern district of the second floor. When I casually mentioned in a meek voice that I didn’t see Avhy State Avasn’t given at least a little recognition, I met Avith an ava lanche of books, suitcases, hat boxes, and said beer mugs that “floored” me completely. Rising Avearily, I trudged off singing “I’m a Tar Heel Born.” I Avas just try ing to be agreeable, but ’tAvas to no avail. The gals from the other end of the hall, establishing a beach-head of N. C. State “para phernalia,” questioned me as to the nature of my song. What Avas I to do? Half Avere for State and the others for U.N.C. Which one should I give my Avhole-hearted support to ? Thinking OA^er the problem at ,a later date (’bout 8:00 that night), I Avas snapped into reality by the insistent ringing of the telephone. You guessed it— a guy from Carolina asked me to go to the State-Carolina game next Saturday. With no further trou ble I reached my decision—but all too soon. I Avas called again and invited to the State rush parties by a “slide-rule Joe.” Folks, I haA^e no alternative; I’m remain ing neutral! S a ints Sail les One hundred and thirty new girls entered the portals of Saint Mary’s School for the beginning of their nine month visit last September 12. Walking along with them, a little more familiarly, were the returning old girls. The marks of the Debu tante Ball Avere visible on some 40 of the girls. Saint Mary’s was proud of the six leaders that represented her: Suzanne Dawson, Rosalie Iluske, Jean Newcombe, Beth Ilar- riss, Eliza Chipley, and Cecile Bickett. Things didn’t seem too strange for Robin Arrington and Lucy Ann Bodie; they had a welcoming com mittee made up of several Raleigh boys. Carolyn Westbrook {Mary Ann’s sister) had a date the very first afternoon. Bebe Alyers has al ready been swamped with telephone calls, and LaNelle Edwards left at home a newly acquired boyfriend. That wasn’t too bad, though, because she received a brand new picture of him in the first mail. Everyone took part in the hall parties the first night of school. Katie Clifton and Anne Cahoon thought perhaps their hall might en joy a feAv onion sandAviches. The situation restuled in the hall’s not getting much chance at the sand Aviches. Katie and Anne ate them all. Nancy Holton, doesn’t care much about things like onion sand Aviches that are so hard on your stomach; she spent the last part of the summer getting Avell from an appendicitis operation. Elise Feim- ster is proud of her neAv tooth, but Dot Crawford is ahvays groaning about her old tooth that has to be filled. Jidie Nolan already has the Saint Mary’s diet bug. Virginia Mowery, a Raleigh boarder, is think ing about setting up a date bureau; haAang seen some of the samples, Mickey Shannon is going to be her chief advertising man. Does Your Room ISleed the ISJeiv Look? Curtains and Flowers Are Answer f i^.bsdestrian is a man in danger O j ^ walker is a man in ®sion of his soul.—Reader’s Welcome, neAV girls, and re- Avelcome, old girls, to Saint Mary s! And noAV, since Ave’re here, there’s the problem, or rather the “happy task,” of decorating our rooms. First, there are the curtains to be hung. All types of girls come to Saint Mary’s and they use all types and sizes of curtains; nearly all of them, howeA^er, use curtains because they give the room a wonderfully “homey” look! There are organdy curtains of all colors; the green ones to match the spreads and walls are especially attractive—that is, if you like green. Some girls tie back Avhite organdies with bright ribbons, which are something neAv in curtain ties. There are, too, the drapes matching the spreads and the paper drapes, but whatever kind you use really help to brighten the loom. Since we started with curtains we may as well stay at the window to throw a little light on our decora tion difficulties. A little potted plant helps things just loads. A bright geranium, or an African vio let, or ivy, or just something any- Lots of the girls hated to see the summer and all the good things that, it brings come to an end. Mary Mar Ragland took in Europe; she- doesn’t have the words to describe- the Rivera, nor does she have the- words to describe a certain diplomat, Caroline Bisanar, Sissy Rhodes, and. Shep Rustin pine for Blowing Rock. Beaufort Law has fond memories of Lake Summit, but Jo Bell and Millie Cobb still say there’s no place like Morehead. Sandra Sims keeps up the tradition that Lynchburg girls are always charming. Mary Ruth Ruble still has her Pika pin. Vivian Scott acquired a pin this summer. Mary Ann Gray and Liz Everage have both acquired something new which decorates the third finger left hand, and they both really sparkle. Margaret Sasser is looking forward to the opening of State. It looks like Peggy Hooker will probably be a .Duke supporter with a cousin and a brother both playing football over there. Adele Hicks has added another name. She is now “Kissable” Hicks. She won’t tell Avhat’s in that name. As far as “Avhat’s in a name goes,” the name of this column is Saint’s Sallies, and the saints have about sallied out for this week. thing will help. Of course, you have to take care of them, or they Avon’t pull through, but if they do live they’re really SAvell to have around. The walls, too, present a big prob lem ; bulletin boards, hung from the molding (of course!) and full of pictures and clippings really let people knoAV who lives there and give them an idea of her life beyond the “gates.” You can make an adorable bulletin board with frills and everything around it—if you’ll try! These are just some pointers which combined with your own ideas will help to brighten your room and your stay at S. M. S. No two people are alike; and both are glad of it.—Reader’s Digest. ❖ ❖ j\. man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a crafts man ; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.—Reader’s Digest. Old Girl vs. New Girl Give First Impressions Old Mary Saint and new Mary Saint may walk up the steps to school at exactly the same time and see exactly the same scene, but their feelings and vieAvs are sure to be entirely different. The old girl knoAvs it’s time to Avork again, but she looks forAvard to the fun and all the Avonderful girls. The neAv girl hardly knoAvs Avhat to think; she is so in tent on making a good impression that the thought of lessons doesn’t touch her. To the ncAV girl the main hall is impressive and lonely. All around her old girls scream and hug each other. Strange faces are on all sides. Will she ever learn to knoAV these girls? Could she pos sibly ever be sure of herself here? Confused thoughts rush through her head as she tries to register with out seeming too green. For the old girl it’s an old story. Registra tion is just a chore that mUst be done; meeting old friends is the main thing. ' ' On the halls, the old girls, rush around visiting and neglect their unpacking. The new girls unpack as soon as possible since they feel more at home with their own things around them. Soon the hew girls have their rooms neat and clean hut not quite fixed to suit them ; those all important extension cords' arh missing, and the windows are hare of curtains. When the old girls finally unpack, their rooms are com fortable with big chairs, curtains, and all the conveniences of home. However it all comes out all right in the end with the help of Hand book classes, orientation week, and the ten-cent store. Soon no one can tell the old girls from the new girls, and they are all just Merry Saints.
