Air Base Acts As
Host To SMS Girls
Air Cadets of Stallings Air Base
in Kinston, North Carolina, have
invited the student body of Saint
Mary’s to a semi-formal dance and
buffet supper on Saturday night,
December C. Music will be by Tony
Pastor and his orchestra; Dr. and
Mrs. Browne will cha])erone the
group.
Fifty Saint Mary’s girls, accom
panied by Miss Hoy and Miss Liv-
erman, traveled to Kinston Novem
ber 15 where they attended an in
formal dance at Stallings Air Base.
On their arrival many Air Corps
cadets were on hand to greet them
and escort them to the “mess hall”
where a buffet supper was spread.
After supper the cadets took the
girls to the gym where they danced
to the music of Johnny Wooten and
his orchestra.
Many girls have commented on
the good time they had, and it seems
they are not the only ones. A letter
from one of the cadets to a Saint
Mary’s girl reads, “Everybody that
I have talked to this morning is in
complete agreement that the girls
from Saint Mary’s are about the
greatest thing that has happened to
the South since the emancipation,
and rumor has it that they are going
to be invited again in the near fu
ture.”
