il j January 12, 1951 The Belles of Saint Mary’s King In The New, Ring Out The Old, But Keep Those Old Fond Memories Of SMS It’s 1951—a ne.w year! Tliere’ll be ®*a>iy new things, new experiences, aad big days ahead. And naturally looking forward to them! But fin ?t) let’s look back at all of the ^ the old year, 1950, held for 5J®~-at least our year here at Saint Gary’s. To some of us Saint Mary’s was ^ few home. To others only the ^•^oin -\vas new; the school was al- a home. And the girls, a of strange faces at first, be- our friends. Orientation Week Ped that along. There were many ™grams and things to do, but by , ^ time the week was over, topped A the Old-Girl-lTew-Girl Party, we liad fun. We knew that there ttany more days and weeks of 0 ahead at our school and with ^ fi'iends who were no longer new. ^,t>ut there were other new things, j® met new boys and went new * Saturdays, when the leaves ‘‘e in their painted splendor, were days of football games d cheering crowds. Then the fra- picnics and parties led to ® dirilling pledge dances. ]. the Halloween season was high- .Sited by the party given by the ( mrs ill the gym. ' Eemember the fof 1 'T Dogpatch folk! And d iveather—along Avith the Sigma- f !* hockey tournament, made color- . oy the peppy cheerleaders. One If I, ^hlniglit the Circle Avalked. All these things, and other memorable . ®Hts, happened before Thanksgiv- ^.S; Quarterlies came before Thanks- tttg, too, and when they were Ave Avere more than ready to tli5^ on home for turkey dinners "’ei'i ^ofore Ave kneAv it, though, Ave t® back at school, but only for three short Aveeks. And how they did fly! All the seniors talked about Avas the Divine Comedy and the senior dance. The dance, a Avinter Avonderland, came off in fine style and everybody had fun. D. C. wor ries ended Avith a hearty “Merry Christmas” from Mr. Moore. We felt the real meaning of Christmas as we saAv the seniors’ pageant in the chapel. Other people’s Christ mases Averen’t forgotten either as the “Y” and Canterbury Club packed off boxes full of Christmas cheer. What suspense! But finally the last night came, and Avhat a night! Miss Siler pleased us all Avith a big turkey dinner served by candle light, and the Glee Club put us in the real holiday spirit Avith their concert. AfterAvards every hall in SMS Avas filled Avith shrieks of sur prise and laughter as the girls shared their presents around hall Christmas trees. We did go to bed that night, only to be aAvakcned early by the seniors caroling! The day had come. It was a big day for eA^erjmne, and Avedding bells for Betty Ann. January second rolled around only too soon, and once again aa'c met in the halls of SMS. Most of us Avere the same ole gals, despite the big times at home. IIoAveAmr, Ave do have neAV jeAvelry. So many dia monds and pins! It has been hard to settle doAvn to books and Avork again, but January 29th and exams are on the Avay. • The future looks dark noAV, but AA^e had exams before and still had fun. These Aveeks have been ])acked full, and noAV Ave’vc a Avhole year full of Aveeks to fill Avith more gay times.

We lost tAvo numbers to the state of matri- over the holidays. They are Y Ann Williamson of Cerro iihJ*o and Becky Bullington of ''‘‘lanburg, S. C. There Will Be Some Changes Made; Your Nation Calls, Son! Let’s face it! There’s a man shortage. Well, is there? Joe Sehmoo’s joined the SAviss Subma rine Corps, Tommy Killjoy joined the Allied Underground, Bob Blum- berg has joined up Avith Grandsons of the Confederacy, and Carson Ho- bij'rt has joined the Mounted Police. What a loAv bloAV! Of course there’s alAA'ays Aharles Ctlas aaIio is 5C be cause of a mole on his eyebroAV, and Fake Jroelich has an ingroAvn toe nail that makes him 6D. Hue to these circumstances, every one must take up a hobby. One hobby someone can start is a' col lection of Avings instead of fraternity pins. Another interesting hobby is collecting old Avrecks (4F’s, that is), and then one can always start rob bing (the cradle). Bridge Avill be SAveci)ing the coun try as a pastime. The Ro.se Bowl will bo a combination of kinder garten lads and female athletes. (Can’t you see Ott ])assing to Bimbo, Bimbo getting the ball, rushing doAvn the field, crossing the line for a touehdoAvn. Cheers!) A preview of Avhat some of the Saint Mary’s faculty Avill be doing goes something like this. Mr. Brough ton Avill be directing the military band Avith Mr. Peery jilaying the bass drum. Madame Smitli Avill be an interpreter in France, and Miss Cate will be entertaining the troojis Avith her Glee Club, along Avith Ed die Cantor and Doris Day. Mrs. Guess Avill be directing calisthenics at an Army field, and Miss Bason Avill bo chief cook on a battlc.ship. Well, Avatch your draft card. Miss Jones, your number might be com ing Tip. The New Year Brings It’s Resolutions But The Old Superstitions Linger On The pin Avearers are many. The SAE's have claimed five of the Belles. They are Connie Shanklin, -Tuliet Fulghum, Evelyn Oettinger, Martha McGuirk, and Mickie Shan non. Mary Strickland and Mary Dorsett are pinned to Belas. Ha'ncy Lee and Peggy Hooker have KA pins. Other Avearers of jiins from various fraternities are Alice May, Julia Steed, Laura Matheson, Caro line Cobey, Spooner Harrison, Jenie Smith, Virginia Turley, Libba Dor ris, and Frances Pickett. This is a goodly number, and there are flA'e months of school left. Who knoAvs Avho may be next? Janet Harris January 13 Jane Berryhill January H JCatherine Melcher January 1.!/.

The noAV year most of all brings to mind all the superstitions that A\'e have been taught , since early childhood. Some of the most common, like breaking mirror.s, throAving salt over your shoulder, black cats, and walking under ladders to Avai'd off bad luck, are familiar to us all, but many SMS girls have superstitions pe- CTiliar to their OAvn resi)ective toAvns or families. Kitty Fisher Avon’t take off a sock and put it on again if she’s ]Tut it on Avrong side out. Kitty also believes that you must enter and exit the same door of a house or you’ll have bad luck. “Mac” iVIacHair Avon’t kill a cricket for anything or she’d be sure to have eternal bad luck. “Mac” says that her mother believes all farm animals kned at 12:00 on Hew Year’s Eve, and she rushes out every Hcav Year to see this feat jierformed. Anne Lee believes that everything that is ])lauted Avill groAv only Avhen the moon is full—she must be a one-day-a-month farmer. Laura Chapman flips her butter at the table to see if she’s going to get a letter. iloAvover, she hasn’t ])erfccred this art very Avell, and 1 suspect she checks the mail box aiiyAvay. Mary Sutton thinks that Avhen her ears ring in a certain Avay .she has a letter, but L suspect that method is not too satisfactory either. Ann Miles thinks she’s the most su])erstitious iiersoii alive. She is A^ery carefiTl not to tell a dream be fore breakfast, and if you sing be fore breakfast you’ll cry before sup per. Ann also thinks that if a rooster croAvs in yoTir yard it means someone’s dead in your family. Ginger MoAvery is scared to leaAm a Christmas tree Tip after Hcav Year’s Day because it means yoti’ll be lazy the rest of the year. Ginger is Avorried because someone pTilled seA^eral gray hairs out of her head. and she thinks she Avill bo Avhite- headed before she’s thirty. Carol Sledge says that everybody should eat black-eyed j)eas and hog jowl on Hew Year’s Day. I .sus pect that is one of those Whitevillc customs. Alice May is very su])erstitious about matches. She is .scared of three peoi>le lighting cigarettes from the same match, and if they do the middle one niTist be the youngest and that same person .should bloAV the match out. Franky Alien is superstitious about exams. She says that every year she Avears the same blu(> dres.s, but she’s very ])erturb(>d this year because her mother tlirevv out the dres.s. .Mickie Shannon Avou’t pTit a hat on a bed. She thinks that meaus bad luck for years. , Dot CraAvford and Sugar Page are su])erstitious about black loafers and Avhite SAvans. Odd ! Touia Rowe says that if you drop a dish tOAvel someoiu' is coming to sec you. With exams .so alarmingly near, Ave all must Avatch our sti'ps or we’ll have bad luck in spite of all pre cautions. Good luck! Count ’Em Women’s faults arc- many. Men have only two: Everything they .say, .\nd everything they do. —.\n()N. I'he true art of nuunory is the art of attention.
