Assembly Programs Are Designed to Benefit
Students; That Purpose is Usually Achieved
AT THE THEATERS
[In recognition of people and organized groups at St. 21arg's tvlio ivork
hard and deserve credit winch they seldom get, Beli.es begins a series of
articles in praise and appreciation for the services and time they give the
school and, student body. In this edition we applaud the little store
group.—El).] '
Tlie little store, a creation of the Senior Class, is intendccl to make
money ami to serve the student hody. The Senior Class S])onsors its
operation, hut the actual work, responsibility, and worry of the project
falls on the girls who manage the little store and sell its stock. These
girls, under their committee chairman, Anne Harmon Jones, are unde-
niahly one of the hardest working groups in school.
Every day after chapel and assembly and every night from 9 ;30 to
10:00, members of the committee, which includes Jane Wrike, Anne
Marie IMolloy, and IMary Stieher, re})ort behind the little store counter
and sell food to the many clamoring, starved belles. The little .store is
located opposite the hook store on the ground floor of Sniedes. Erom its
counter students may buy candy, cookies, nabs, peanuts, doughnuts, and
sandwiches.
But selling is only the minor part of operating the little store. Anne
Harmon has to estimate in advance how much food the store will need
for the coming week, what will sell best and give the most profit, and
what will keej) best. She buys all the food wholesale and sells it retail
in order to make a profit to put toward the Senior Class gift at gradua
tion. Anne has all the res])onsihility of seeing that the store does make
a ])rofit and that a sufiicient su])ply of food is always on hand. She and
members of her committee nmst always arrange to he on hand whenever
the wholesalers come to take orders and to deliver food. They have to
store it and keep close account of all of it.
Although oatmeal cookies. Baby Buths and Hershey bars are now the
most poj)ular foods sold at the little store, the girls will welcome any
suggestions conecn-ning additions to their wares or improvements in their

Assembly programs are an important part of the student’s life at
St. Clary’s. They furnish a variety of interesting topics ranging from
current events and the state of the nation in the present world situation
to the activities of the campus’ political organizations. These progTams
are planned to give the students some of the essential information which
cannot always he covered in the classroom, information necessary for
well-informed young women who will soon take their places as adults in
our state and nation.
The yearly schedule for assembly jjrograms is ])lanned around two
headings: traditional program.s and current events programs. Under
the heading of tradition, we have a yearly rejiort from the president of
the school and a talk by the dean. In this way the students learn of the
many things involved in the operation of the school and the manner in
whicli they are jierformed. ,\lso under the heading of tradition, we have
the annual ])resentations of school talent, such as monologues by the
students of theater arts and dances ])erformed by tlie orchesis memhers;
alumnae news is presented annually to the students of today by a few of
the students of yesteryear. Under the heading of current events we find
speakers on the assembly jirogram who bring us news and viewpoints on
the activities of the Kaleigh Little Theater, the United Eund, and a dra
matic picture of life behind the Iron Curtain.
The chairman of assembly works with the gi’oups within the school
who are scheduled for assembly program.s, and the faculty adviser ar
ranges the ])rogTanis brought to us by persons and organizations outside
the school. E'ilnis, which are selected with the .students’ interests in
mind, are .shown when there is no available speaker. The faculty adviser
obtains ratings on the assembly programs from two of his classes, and
these statistics show that, on the whole, the students have enjoyed and
benefited most from the jn’Ograms of the current year. However, in all
the years these records have been kept, no assembly program has ever
rated one hundred per cent.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to use assembly time for Student Gov
ernment meetings, since this is the only occasion the entire* student body
is together for any reasonable length of time.
The chairman of assembly has done a good job this year according to
the majority of students who have voiced their opinions on the subject,
and Belles joins the chairman in welcoming any viewpoints and advice
the students may have to offer concerning assembly programs.

The performance of the St. Louis
Symjihony Oroliestra under the Ji'
rection of Vladinci Golsclimanh)
on February 3 in the Memorial Ad'
ditorium was enthusiastically ap'
2)roved by St. Mary’s girls and well
received by its Raleigh audiencCr
judging from its applause and R'
quests for encores.
The program opened with MTbct =
“Overture” from Oberon, which
was followed by Cesar Franck =
8ympliony in D Minor. The of'
chestra, under Golschmaiin’s b*'
ton, achieved beautiful expressioh
and magnificent precision in both
selections.
The Afternoon of the Faun, h5
Claude Debussy, a medley of waltzcj
by Strauss, and the “Overture
from Tannhauser, by Richard
ner completed the program.
All
three were masterfully perfornieo
but the concensus on campus Jj*’'
closes that SAIC girls found the
waltzes most appealing.
