\' i 'ul,. ' 2 The Belles of Saint Mary’s February 8, 1952 BE REVERENT Saint Mary’s is a church school. Our parents sent us here to grow men tally, physically, and spiritually. Our week-day Chapel services, our beau tiful Sunday services, prayers in the dining room, Bihle courses, and Christian organizations are only a part of our religious training. In our daily lives comes the real test of our spiritual growth. Only hy constant effort on our part can we get the true benefit from these religious influences. We also must continually be mindful of our influence on others, for our words and actions influence others more than we realize. _ A smothered giggle, an irreverent attitude, silly whispers, and nonparticipation in the service can mar the worshipful atmosphere. Crossword puzzles, letters, newspapers, and comics have no place in the Chapel. The students who are irreverent are not considered funny. They are a menace.^ We must begin to ignore their actions. Soon they will realize their attitude is not appreciated. Perhaps they too will then partake of the spiritual strength available through the Chapel services. The Forward Movement suggests the following prayer upon entering church: ■ m. Blessed Lord who called me into Thy Church, help me to worship Thee heartily, joining in all the service. Keep me from vain and wandering thoughts that I may concentrate my mind on Thy message of pardon, duty, and love, for Jesus sake. Amen. Exams Are Over; We Breathe Again Spring Clothes Ar^ Prettier Than Evet CURRENT EVENTS Exams are over! What a relief! What ecstasy—what grades ! IVliat a blow . . . but we’re through for a while anyway—with a brand new semester in which to make up for all those horrid F’s. English was about the hardest—no, maybe biol ogy was—but then history was no crip—heck, they were all terrific. Really can’t say that we care now, though. They’re over. Exams are finished! What beautiful words. Roommates are back on speaking terms. Teachers are human beings again. Everybody loves everybody. Mail is more plentiful. Girls look their lovely best again. Telephone calls cause excitement. Spring plans are being made. Spring! Great Scott! Spring is just around the corner. Why, Commencement isn’t really far off at all. Commence ment ! That means final exams . . . OH NO! The fashion outlook for this year is better all the time. It’s hard f® go uptown because the new styles are almost irresistible. In one o the stores was a lovely short coa.t. It was waist length with a bjg collar. Just the thing to go wu those silk dresses for spring an later on to he worn over sum®® cottons. It came in a luscious sha of purple and a ravishing shade o orange. The shaw collars are ne' this year. The bigger they are, f fietter. . , One of the newest styles is ® barrel-shaped short coat. It shglu J resembles the famous trench coa^ but the back is fuller, and it has rolled shaw collar. j Hats are going to be small ai xiaiB are guiug compact with a big^ rhinestone^®J Ho we know what is going on in the world ? Can we carry on an intelli gent conversation with others about current events? “The American college girl is not one whit interested in the world around her,” says Mumford Jones in his article, “Have College Women Let Us Down,” in the January issue of Mademoiselle. A large percentage of college girls, it is true, have a tendency to take little or no interest in world affairs. For example, when we pck up a newspaper, we casually glance over the war news and political focus our attention on the funnies or perhaps on a serial story. .W hen we turn on the radio, it is for music or soap operas we wish to hear, not the news. These lighter things are good in their places, but we must develop, if we have not already, an interest in world affairs. Today, when the position woman holds is at its peak, it is of utm^t importance that college girls keep up with the ever-changing world. We will be the ones who will help to make the important world decisions in the future. It is of vital importance for uSj the future leaders of America, to keep up with the times. It is all right to hold a conversa tion, but you should let go of it now and then.—Richakd Aemoue. Men show their character in noth ing more clearly than what they thing laughable . . .

Belles of Saint Mary’s Poor Maggie’s Tale Of Woe: That Red Angel Won’t Let Go LAURA HAYS SUE ANY SADLER How many times have you gotten out of class thoroughly worn out and “just dying for a Coca-Cola” ? That is exactly the condition Miserable Maggie was in last Wednesday at three forty-five. As soon as history was over she ran upstairs to get her nickel for “the pause that refreshes.” It didn’t take her long to find that she didn’t have a nickel or a dime or a quarter. She owned one fifty cent piece, but of course she could find change some where. After much hard work, how ever, Maggie found that nobody on her entire floor had this change. So poor miserable Maggie had to fight her way up the stairs to find some one who could come to her rescue. Maggie then ran wildly down stairs to quench her thirst. That red machine looked like a beautiful an gel waiting for her at the bottom of the steps. Maggie fed the angel a nickel and waited — nothing hap pened. Then she put in a quarter to push out the nickel and still nothing happened. Miserable Maggie began pounding on the angel in despera tion. She then realized that the angel was nothing but a big red thief standing there laughing at her. Maggie wasn’t going to let any robot get the best of her; so she put in the remainder of her fifty cents, hoping something would happen. But that big red monster only chock ed that silver down. Then Maggie happened to notice a little sign reading “empty”; so this poor, penniless girl, realizing her de feat, just gave up in despair. Miser able Maggie walked gloomily down the hall while fifty cents glittered in the return slot of the Coca-Cola vendor.
