Lenten Offering
Benefits Navajos
The 1956 Lenten offering^ from
St. Mary’s will go for the Navajo
IMission, Fort Defiano, Aiizona.
The student body is endeavoring to
raise $260 for the mission. The
ju’oject is endorsed by Bishop Nm-
solering of Arizona, and
Givee is superintendent of Good
Shepherd IMission, ministering to
the Navajo Indians.
Indians’ Needs Are Many
There are many items these In
dians need, such as beds, new floors,
kneeling cushions, choir robes, nev
lighting facilities, and other things.
St Marv’s students put their
money in “their self-denial boxes
during Lent and will present these
boxes at a church service before
siiring vacation. H each person
will give as freely as iiossible, the
desired $260 will be realized and a
dream will come true for these Ari
zona Indians.
During the week members of
the Letter Club pinned “slump
cards” on those girls whose pos
ture could be corrected. The girl
with the most cards, Betty Hunt
Proctor, was crowned “Slumj)
Queen.” Sally Taylor was runner-
up.
Sophomores Present
N ovel Fashion S how
Caroline Cobb acted as master of
ceremonies in an assembly program
presented by the sophomore class
in the St. Mary’s auditorium March
6. The program was “an interpre
tation of our grandmother’s cos
tumes and what our grandmother’s
interjiretations of our costumes
would be, if they could come back
and hear our clothes discussions.”
Sally Taylor modeled a long
sweeping dress adorned with a
bustle which was the style of the
1840’s. To typify the early 1900’s
Sally Rembert appeared in the lat
est sportswear—bathing suit with
legs entirely covered.
Sullivan Wears Coon Coat
Attired for a football game
Nancy Sullivan wore a bulky coon
coat. To sho\F what Nancy would
have worn under the coat, Sarah
Mercer and Teddy Hill “Charles-
toned” across the stage wearing the
short skirt and long blouse typify
ing the “20’s.”
Nancy Bondurant mimiced the
famous Greta Garbo with her so
phisticated dress, and Nancy Settle
challenged the Carolina football
team’s uniform by modeling a
green suit with a short skirt and
j)added coat.
Skirt Styles Displayed
An “interpretation of how our
ancestors would have pictured our
styles of skirts” was given by Nel
son Blount in a pencil skirt, Bev
erly Andrews in a circle skirt. Peg
Finley in a flared skirt, and Sally
Underhill in a checked skirt and
saddle bag.
A favorite type of casual wear,
the Ivey League, was modeled by
Ginny Whitehurst. She wore gray
Bermudas and sweater and was or
namented by sprigs of ivey. .lane
Brady fashioned the pill box hat
and boxed jacket.
Ball Govra and Kid Gloves
Wearing a white sheet covered
with niulticolored balloons, Bar
bara Buening styled the flowing
ball gown and unique kid gloves.
To conclude the program Caroline
begged, “Girls, no matter what your
fashions are, be sure they are san
forized.”
In a relatively easy contest on
February 27, the Sigma’s and the
Mu’s combined forces to overcome
the Meredith “Red Demons” 59 to
34. Getting off to a fresh start, the
St. IMary’s lassies had built up a
19 to 3 lead, which by half-time
had been increased 38 to 11.
Faulkner Captains Team
Captained by a Mu, .lean Faulk
ner, St. IMary’s starting line-up con
sisted of three Mu’s and three
Sigma’s. At the forwards were Hol-
lowell, Norman, and Faulkner,
while Brinkley, Whitehurst, and
Miller held down the guard posi
tions. Hollowell, as usual, did a
fine job at forward. While not
l)utting in lay-ups herself, she was
setting up shots for Norman and
Faulkner. On defense, Whitehurst,
aided by Miller and Brinkley, both
blocked shots and pulled down
many rebounds.
The substitutes also did a fine
job. They were Robinson, IMorton,
Butler, and AlcWilliams at for
ward, and Somers, Proctor, and
Underhill at guard.
Among the standouts for the
Meredith “Six” were co-captains
Margaret Creech and Hilda IMyers,
and substitute Faye Williamson.
Williamson, who relieved Brown
ing in the second quarter, pushed
through 14 points to share top
scoring honors with Myers.

Civic Concert
The Houston Symphony Orches
tra under the auspices of the Ra
leigh Civic Music Association pre
sented a concert in the Memorial
Auditorium on March 6. IMilton
Katims was the conductor.
The first number, Brahms’ Sec
ond Symphony in D Major, set the
pace for the concert, for the audi

by thundering applause. The

same response at its completion.
Next on the i)rogram was the Over
ture to Euryanthe.
The high note of the evening
proved to be Morton Gould’s
Spirituals for String Choir and Or
chestra.
The audience called for a num-
bei of encores after the formal pro
gram was concluded. Polka by
Strauss and Rossini’s Overture to
Sipnor Lmschino were included.
Hilde Gueden, soprano, will aii-
in Faleigh on April 25 for the
linal Civic Music concert of the
season.
