Vague Rules Often Mystify Students
Often there is some confusion around St. Mary’s as to the exact mean
ing of certain rules governing our student body. These may either be
petitions that were recently passed by the. legislative body or standard
rules which have been in use for many years.
One such example of this confusion has to do with the petition passed
by the legislative body last year allowing seniors to have cars at school
after spring vacation. Because there were two different records of the
petition filed at school, some misunderstanding arose as to which of the
two was correct.

An old lady, after hearing her first
sermon in several years, was asked
by a friend after the sendee how she
liked the preaching.
“Well,” replied the old lady, “I
learn’t two things—it’s not safe to
live and it’s mighty dangerous to
die.”

The master file stated that seniors could have cars provided that they
would be used only on week-ends and overnights. However, the sum
mary of the petition filed in the dean’s office allowed cars to be used on
week-ends without stating specifically what was .meant by the word
week-end. Therefore, the confusion arose as to whether the seniors could
have their cars on overnights or on honor roll week-ends.
In a recent meeting of the legislative body the issue was cleared up, and
the petition now states that the cars may be used for overnight absences
other than short Saturday nights even with an academic average of B—
or above.
Belles feels that such cases should be cleared up from the beginning—
particularly before such an occasion arises to cause such confusion. By
talking with other students, we have found that the real meaning of
various other rules is also vague. This situation is one which should be
corrected, and the Belles sincerely hopes that some remedy may be found.

“Just look at all that water,” said
Rastus, on a transport in mid-ocean.
“You ain’t seen nothin’,” replied
Sambo. “That’s just the top of it.”
A dear old lady was passing a
rural stream where a company of
soldiers were enjoying a cool swim.
The lack of bathing trunks was ob
vious. “Oh, dear,” uttered the aston
ished woman, “those must be our
shock troops.”

OF ST. MARY’S
High-fidelity recordings have be
come increasingly popular, and
“hi-fi” fans may be glad to know
that Percy Faith has a new long-
playing record out on Columbia hi-
fi. The record is titled “Pei’cy Faith
Plays Continental Alusic.” “April
in Portugal,” “Many Times,” and
“Love Makes the World Go Round
and Round” are a few of the selec
tions on this particular waxing, all
done in the impressive style of the
Percy Faith orchestra.
The “swing and sway” man,
Sammy Kaye, has a good arrange
ment of “Jim, Johnny, and Jonas”
with vocals by the Kaye chorus.
Bing Crosby also recorded this tune.
Jaye P. Morgan seems to have an
other hit with “Softly, Softly.” By
the way, Betty Clooney Avill soon re
place her on the Robert Q. Lewis
show. Sarah Vaughn has recorded
“Linger Awhile” in her inimitable
throaty style, and Tony Martin
proves he hasn’t lost his magic touch
with a new recording titled “Mid
night Magic.”
A new German recording of “The
Breeze and I” has made quite a hit
over here. Werner Muller and his
orchestra supply the exotic musical
background for Caterina Valente’s
magnificent vocal job.
now let me tell you about the ex
perience i had one time not too long
ago about this person who i don’t
know who they were but anyway
that time they asked me a question
about explaining to them this thing
that i didn’t know anything about
but that i did know a little something
about it so that i could tell them
whatever it was that they asked me
about it i don’t really remember
what it was but still i decided to ex
plain it to them as best i could cause
it did interest me a whole bunch but
still somehow or other i got off the
subject and started telling them
about something else that i liked to
talk about better but i realized that
i shouldn’t tell about that because it
wasn’t polite to get off the subject
like i was doing at least that’s what
Emily Post said in her book that i
read not too long ago though i really
dont remember what page it was on
or exactly what it said but anyway
i know that it was in there and there
was lot of other stuff in there too
and you really should read that book
sometime about how you shouldn’t
chew gum and burp loud and all
that stuff but anyway here i am get
ting off the subject again and i really
must get back to whatever it was i
was saying to you about what it was
i don’t know cause i don’t rightly
recall that experience i did have that
time being as i forgot what i was
talking about in the first place since
you know how i get off the subject
and can’t remember a thing i was
doing so now i won’t have time to
tell you what it was since i’ve gotta
go somewhere though i don’t know
where but anyway i have to go so
i’ll see you sometime tomorrow and
you can ask me if i remember what
i was telling you about well anyway
you know how it is
