53 j May 8, 1953 The Belles of Saint Mary’s Our Helen Hopeful, Calm And Sure Solves Problems, You Can’t Endure Belles of Saint Mary’s 1 I*ear Helen Hopeful, , I was a very attractive, po])ular, Pgliteen year old girl. My problem 's this: I go to Saint Mary’s School ®ii(l Junior College. . . . Yes, this is problem. Before I came to St. Hary’s I had lots of dates and was "’hat you might call, “The Belle of fte Ball.” But since Saint Mary’s, one will date me; don’t get me "’roiig; it’s not the reputation of jhe school; it’s just that I have to “6 in at 11:30 p.m. Whenever ^here’s a good party or some fun going on, I’m always the first to *oave. Everybody points at me as ‘hough I have a horrible disease ®"d says, “Saint Mary’s.” Oh, what must I do ? DESPEEATE. "ear Desperate, My advice to you is; get Mrs. ^‘ornback to double date with you. ^‘nce it is her responsibility to shut ‘he doors, you would at least not be 'ocked out. HELEH HOPEFUL. : ^?ar Miss Hopeful, I am six years old, and all my oachers say that I am very smart, problem is this: I never have ' fun. All the rest of my friends "ate and have “steady beaux,” but 1 never get asked to dances and parties because I have to wear *'aees and my eyes are crossed. My •"other says I am p>retty, but my g*rl friends make fun of me be- I 'aiise boys never ask me for dates. Ifiease, can you help me? MYETLE. "ar Myrtle, t "things aren’t as bad as they ’ Hn. Eemember, you’re only six; 'ost girls don’t start dating until ■ yy’re. seven, much less worry ' ""ut their looks! By next year ""’11 probably be able to remove braces. But heaven only knows you can do about crossed Concentrate on your hair; j " your stylist. I’m sure she can ^,^,you up. If this does not work, , *'de to me again and I’ll give you ""o advice. HELEH HOPEFUL. Frantic Struggle Precedes Week End Have you ever tried to take a week-end away from Saint Mary’s? Getting ready on I’hursday made the whole week-end seem hardly worth the struggle, didn’t it? Thursday’s classes were all crammed together from the first period until the last. Then you run up the stairs to get in forty-five minutes of make-up study hall. The bell rings and it is time for Physical Ed. The gym suit is thrown on, and away you go to the baseball field. After one hour of chasing balls you crawl up the steps, ex hausted, to finish that hour and fifteen minutes of study hall. The supper bell rings and you have to rush to the dining hall. By the time you get there you have no desire for anything, and it’s just as well anyway; they’re having as paragus and liver. Back to the room only to remem ber that you have a BELLES ar ticle to write before seven-thirty, then a dress to press, a trigonometry test to study for, your hair to wash, bag to pack, and nails to polish. How can it all be done before ten thirty? The answer is, it can’t! Five-thirty the next morning finds you up and at your desk struggling over sines and cosines, and between each problem your thoughts are still trying to decide what to wear. Be fore the rising bell rings you jump in the tub to get the dirt off and then to get that head of hair clean. Thirty minutes later you’re off to breakfast with Avet hair straggling down your back and in your face. The morning goes well between naps during class until that last period—math. At the end of the class, after looking at numbers and figures which mean absolutely noth ing to you, you close your paper, grab your suitcase, and out the door of Smedes you run, as far aAvay as you can get, so that you can relax and get rested up after the confu sion.

Do you have problems My little gems? If you do Here’s a clue: Helen Hopeful— Also helpful! ! Instead of leaving campus the Aveek end of May 2 many, or I should say all (since it Avas a closed Aveek end) of the SMS Belles stayed right here to see Sara Fair, May Queen, croAvned by the Maid of Ilono!-, Yancy Bowles. Also that night many beaux Avere attracted to Saint Mary’s for the annual Junior-Senior dance. Even though all of us had a little trouble Avith the sun and the clouds, everyone agreed it Avas the best May Day festivities cA-er to be put on at Saint Mary’s. The Aveek before May Day, State College had its annual Junior-Senior dance in the Eeynolds Coliseum. During the dance they had their Eing ceremonies. The sponsors and their dates stood in a ring in the center and the rest of the juniors stood in a ring on the outside.' After the leader and his date kissed and the girl placed the ring on her date’s finger, the rest of the sjjonsors did the same; then the couples standing on the outside folloAAmd suit. Har riet Ann Barham and Jeanette Uz- zell Avere sponsors for the dance. Other SMS girls Avho attended the dance Avere Barbara BroAvn, Anna Mae Perry, Killian Middleton, Ann Peoples, Mary Bern Wolfe, Mar garet Mansfield-Jones, and Biddie Dent. The same Aveek-end quite a feAV SMS Belles Avent to the “Joe Col lege” Aveek end at Duke. Sally Hodges, Laura Dean Matheson Cindy Ward, and Peggy Williams Avere among the many girls there. Friday afternoon they Avere enter tained by a parade Avith each soror ity and fraternity displaying floats and other amusements. That night before the dance some Avent on jiic- nics and others Avent to the Hoof ’n’ Horn dramatic production. Then all the gals and their dates gathered in the gym to hear the wonderful music of Eay Anthony. Yot only ( id they hear the music; all did the Bunny Iloi)” and the “llokey .1 okey ^ until tlieir feet dropped right off their legs. The next day at the concert Eay Anthony and his orches tra had visitors from the Carolina (mermans, Jimmy and Tommy Dor- sey ! I he three of them stood up and put on some of the best Dixie land jive you’ll ever hear. It seemed Biat practically all the people from Carolina Germans AV'cre over at Duke to heiu’ the orchestra that all Yorth Carolina loAms best, Eay Anthony. After the hnvn concert both the stu dents from Duke and Carolina jour neyed over to Chapel Hill be(*ause It Avas heard that Eay Anthony, Kay Kyser, Jimmy and Tommy 'Dorse'y would all get together at the concert there. It turned out to be one of the best concerts Carolina has had, and to hear eA^eryone talk about it, they ctu-tainly must have enjoyed it. That night Carolina had its dance and afterward CA-eryone Avent fraternity ho])ping.
