'j>iost 100% since 1946 St. Mary’s

possible. For about five dollars
day the students receive food,
Iward, and education, aside from
Lues .Countless other things that they gain

, It is Dr. Stone’s w'ish that sonie-
*'ine in the near future St. Mary’s
be the “best liberal arts school
j’f its type.” This w’ill take the

Rabbi Speaks
The students of St. Mary’s felt
that they W'ere enlightened by the
address given by Rabbi Frederick
Rypins who spoke to assembly on
January 11. The National Federa
tion of Temple Brotherhoods spon
sors the Jew'ish Ohautaugua Society
w'hich sends rabbis to colleges as
jiart of an educational program to
desseminate authentic information
qoiicerning Judaism. Rabbi Rypins
is rabbi of Temple Emmanuel in
Greensboro, N. C.
The rabbi told of the main dif
ferences between the Jewish and
Christian religions and in what
ways they w'ere related to each other
ill service and doctrine.
Jews believe in the good in man
instead of emphasizing the sins that
he commits. They believe that
there is good in every human being
and that men are growing better
morally because of a firm belief in
God and the doctrines of life given

New Year Predictions
Reveal Future Destinies
Happy New Year! (O.K. So it is
halfway through the month!) But
we have some predictions for ’55
that we just couldn’t resist. You
check ’em next December; bet they’ll
be at least 99 44/100% accurate.
First we’d like to make a predic
tion about Mary Rhea Sjiivey and
the food problem. We predict that
despite all attempts to get thin, she
W'ill grow' fatter and fatter during
the year.
Also along that line, w'e predict
that Sumner Parham, w'ho has more
success dieting, will be able to wear
Mary Rliea’s outgrow'ii clothes.
Amazing displays of our girls’
booklearning will pop uj) continual
ly: Joan Schiltz w'ill decorate the
W'alls of her room with an attractive
and original algebra problem.
_ We predict that Sally Taylor, our
little language prodigy, w'ill find an
other w’ay to use her French; she
will allow only French to be spoken
in her room.
We’ll even go so far as to predict -
that LMarianna Miller, the budding
young chemist, w'ill put her scientific
mind to work on discovering a new'
kind of atomic alpha ray. If she
finds it, bet she’ll call it kappa
alpha.
Extra-curricular activities will be
lively this year, too. First we’d like
to warn you that Flora Mclver may
disappear for a few' days ’long ’bout
time for Mardi Gras.
^ Dollars to doughnuts that Bilty
Thomas, Susan Tuggle, Miriam
Elks, and Carol Nichols w'ill chal
lenge Miss Tucker and Mr. and
Mrs. Broughton to a bridge liattle
before school’s over.
When time comes for the Easter
parade, bet Sissy Daw'son’ll be the
top model of Dior fashions.
We predict that if she possibly
can, Dottie Peirson will move the
Mason-Dixon line up about Canada
so i'Anh w'on’t have to be one.
Also W'e predict that Jane Brady’s
Santa Claus pin will really start a
fad when summer comes and she
starts w'earing it on her bathing
suit.
linally, w'e have a sure-fire jire-
diction that Sugar Dudley does
w'angle an appointment to An-
natiolis! I
