Hero at Saint Mary’s there are four varying types of escape from reality—in other words, long week end, short week end, Saturday night, and the newly added “roving” (sigh) week end. In order to clarify any misrepresentation which might arise from reading this tract (short dis course), herein is the aim: to classi fy, define, and comment upon the over-night privileges enjoyed at SMS. Firstly, the long week end. As this privilege is granted exclusively to the honorable seniors, they alone are able to relish its rewards. Since this lapse of time lasts from Thurs day to Sunday, the participant em ploys the long week end for special intents and purposes, such as re covery from the overwork of Eng lish 31, building-up or breaking- down of a romantic element occur ring in one’s home town, or a peace ful stay with the family. The ad vantages of this escape deserve ac knowledgement, but as they are too numerous and sundry to relate in detail, here lies a brief: the loss of sleep, school work, and State College admirers; the gain of weight, evil Monday disposition, and a week’s campus postponed for this special trip. The short week end, a possession of the entire student body, differs from the previously mentioned ven ture in that the duration is short ened by one day, somewhat limiting the possibilities which may and often do develop. With this knowl edge in mind, one must confine her self to the immediate vicinity of Raleigh, such as, Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, Durham, or Davidson. If no “amour” is involved, a' dental appointment, the passing away of great Aunt Lizzie, a minor surgical operation, or a shopping tour for a Here’s A Name Ditty That’s Really Witty Betsy cook Betsy look in oven Betsy Dunn Thelma cross street Thelma take chance Thelma Hazard Flicka like knife Flicka sharpen Flicka Keene Letitia get wood Letitia build Letitia House Becky running Becky fall down Becky Hurt Martha see river Martha want to cross Martha Bridger Laura see fog Laura see mist Laura Hayes Alice eat too fast Alice get sick Alice Hicks Sydna iron Sydna get wet Sydna Rustin new Easter wardrobe all necessitate- this trip. As the after-effects are similar to those of the long week end, only one comment need he made —the depletion of father’s bankroll resulting from a shopping spree. In regard to Saturday nights (this excludes long ones), a student has to he gifted with the stamina of Ajax (not to he confused with the foaming cleanser), the nimbleness of a kangaroo, and the constitution of Old Ironsides. As few girls are able to comply with the require ments, short Saturday nights are few and far between. As one learned professor once said, “A short Satur day night is like unto a shot of peni cillin—a booster to the morale.” At long last the main point of this discourse is reached—the “rov ing” week end. According to Web ster, to rove is “to wander about without definite destination; move hither and thither at random, espe cially over a wide area; to wander over or through; ex. to rove the woods.” Girls, opportunity is knock ing at your door, and as she only knocks once, CHARGE III! This week end, to be sure, will be used for various purposes which we dare not mention here. Since Saint Ma ry’s is the only school, as knowledge has it, that allows such special priv ileges, the students should feel highly honored and indebted for such a blessing. So far a “roving” week end has not been taken, but rest as sured that the after-effects of this mysterious voyage will be scruti nized by each and every student in order to bo prepared for her own week end of wandering aimlessly. In the Avords of one of the modern song Avriters, “She aa'us a nice girl, a projier girl, but one of the roving kind.” 111!! Students Anticipate Big Vacation Event Another Amcation is almost here. Everyone is recuperating from that first case of spring foA’er and mak ing plans for a glorious ten days. Many are getting out their shorts and bathing suits for a trip to Flor ida. Hazel Gray plans to go to Ponta Vedra Beach and get a head start on a suntan. Frances Atkins and Pearl Smith are going to visit Carolyn Duncan; Peggy Flythc is planning her first trip to Florida— West Palm Beach, at that. Barbara Taylor Avill visit a Saint Mary’s alumna in Greenville, South Carolina, and Paula Smith Avill be there visiting Donna Bull. Betty Dry and Ann Robinson are going to Washington, D. C., but it’s obvious the sights are not their main interest. Shep Rustin and May Holton Avill attend the Azalea Festival; Pat Boesser Avill represent Saint Mary’s in this big affair. Jane Blythe Avill ])articipate in the Cherry Blossom Festival as a princess. In Charles ton, South Carolina, Ann Pearson Avill attend the Medical Ball. Ann get old Ann lose hair Ann Harless
