One girl from each hall was appointed to be in charge of selling cigarettes on their respective halls. The proceeds from the cigarettes will be used to I)urchase a gift'for the school so the word is: “Smoke ’em, smoke ’em, smoke ’em!” New Additions On St. Mary’s Campus Progress is not our most import ant i)roduct, but our new building is definitely a product of progress. The exterior is almost completed with the exception of a slate roof. Though the bulk of interior work remains to bo done, it is anticipated that the new construction will be finished before the first of the year. While St. Alary’s “Bellos” sun ned, swam, and skied this summer, a new laundry-warehouse located on the north side of the campus was completed. It is built of brick with cinder block interior walls. The laundry is now a completely mod ern, well-planned utility building. A large two-roll return ironer is the only new piece of equipment added to the laundry. The other portions of the building are divided into Air. Goolsby’s office, a carpen ter’s shop, and various storage rooms for supplies. During vacation time good-by was said to the old laundry building which was torn down. The area where it formerly stood will be landscaped and beautified after completion of the new dormitory. The old warehouse, which will also be removed after completion of the new dormitory, is being used as a storage place for building supplies. Alajor repairs have been made on the heating system, although the work has still not been completed. At commencement time the Sophomore Class, the Beacon, and the YWCA appropriated money for the purchase of rugs for use in the three new parlors. Through the personal efforts of Air. Haywood Duke, member of the board of Trustees, new first-floor auditorium chairs have been secur ed. The chairs, which have been on order for several months but were delayed for shipment because of the steel strike, will be installed during the week of October 1. President Speaks To Student Body Dr. Richard G. Stone addressed the St. Alary’s student body during the first chapel program on Tues day, September 18, 1956. He spoke concerning the goals and ideals which should be predominent in the life of each girl during the year and throughout her life. Dr. Stone’s talk also explained the role of the religious liberal arts college and the meaning of educa tion. Si)ecial emphasis was j)laced on the develojnnent of character and on learning to live with other l)eo])le. Dr. Stone closed his ad- diess by noting that an education can not be acquired by an individ ual buo iuust be attained through personal effort.
