MEMBER OF N. C. C. P. A. STUDY HALL LIGHTS BAD Everyone tvho has tried to study in the study hall knows how blinding the lights are. The flu orescent lights used cause a glare that makes it impossible to read for any length of time. The study hall should be the best place to study in school, but actually it is the worst. This is caused for the most part by the lights. Besides glare, the lights buzz and make it hard to concen trate. Numerous students who are in supervised study hall have been complaining about the lights among themselves, but no one has done anything about it. We are tired of hearing the gripes and hope someone will do something to correct the situation. DO WORK RIGHT AND PROMPTLY Eebruaiy is a pretty dismal month for school, isn’t it? We’ve got our first semester grades jab bing us in the back and four more months of blood, sweat, and tears staring us in the face. In Febru ary, school spirit seems to hit a new low, and all of us seem to be more concerned with gripiiif about our problems than doing something about the situation. There really is no good reason behind all this dejection, but there is a fairly logical explanation for it. We left school after exams feeling as though the weight of the world had been lifted from our shoulders. We thoroughly en joyed a week end of fun and re laxation, and returned to school ready, if not willing, to start studying again. We just half tried to get the second semester started ’ on the right foot. We wanted to keep things on an even keel and up to date, but somehow when the time came we let little things slip by; probably three-fourths of us are already weighted down with work which we’ve let slide by hoping we wouldn’t get caught. Let’s turn over a new leaf. a in ts’ Sallies THE BELLES AT THE BALLS . . . Saint Mary’s swarmed the Memorial Auditorium Saturday night for the State Midwinters . . .

What’s this Lulu Bell, Belle Of Ball, Really Was No Belle At All It was a balmy night in May, and Lulu Bell and her best beau, Elmer, were rattling down the street in a decrepit Model A bound for the annual spring prom. Both were dressed in smart evening clothes, and the picture they presented was an attractive one except for one small blemish. Lulu Bell was industriously ap plying a second layer of make-up and combing her golden tresses for the hundredth time that eve ning for fear that she wouldn’t look her best for the stag line. Furthermore, the deprecating glances ivhich Elmer cast at her from time to time did nothing to dampen her spirits. A few min utes later, well assured that his date had finished her detailed beauty treatment, Elmer helped Lulu Bell laboriously emerge from the vehicle, and arm in arm they entered the dance. Confident that Lulu Bell would be placed in the capable hands of her cronies in the powder room, Elmer started in search of his bosom buddies for a quick bull session before the next dance. After a half hour of exchanged confidences and rehashed mem ories of past dances, wdien Lulu Bell had not put in an appear ance, Elmer came to the decision that the United Nations was hold ing assembly in the powder room. It was when he was passing a noisy group of stags standing around a certain pretty center of attraction that he noticed a pow der blue creation of a dress ivhich unmistakably belonged to the person of Lulu Bell. With all the gusto he could muster up Elmer marched over to the laughing circle, and oidy by From now on let’s try to get every thing done right and done on time. Procrastination has been called the thief of time; please let’s not be known as one who aids and abets a thief! sheer breath-taking commando tactics managed to drag the pro testing Lulu Bell to the dance floor. Ah! but little did Elmer know of the danger which lurked in the form of a long black and white line extending along one side of the floor. This proved to be poor Elmer’s downfall, for no sooner had they begun to dance than did Lulu Bell’s lacy hanky start to flutter amid the urgent beckonings of her carefully pol ished forefinger. Much to his cha grin, Elmer found himself being roughly propelled out of the arms of his beloved, and shoved rudely against a greatly surprised and indignant couple. When he finally regained his rather bedraggled composure, he limped forlornly off in the direction of the bar to drown his sorrows in a good stiff shot of bourbon. While Elmer was doing his best to get fried in the bar, Lulu Bell, using her womanly charms to their best advantage, was making a desperate attempt to trap every available male on the floor, stag or otherwise. Each time a stag broke on her, she would plunge immediately into a detailed ac count of her strenuous love life, barely pausing long enough for her partner to say as much as “Oh, really,” or “I see.” Every one of Lulu Bell’s gestures was accompanied by a violent flutter ing of the eyelashes and a soulful stare into her victim’s eyes, mak ing him turn a vivid shade of crimson and lose step. It must also be mentioned that Lulu Bell was anything but the epitome of sweet, demure womanhood. She had to have her whiskey and in strong doses. Though after two cups of the mildly spiked punch, it was all she could do to keep her equilibrium in order to dance.
