BELLES OF ST. MARY’S

An Up-To-Date Person Has
Knowledge Of Current Events
First Week At
St. Mary^s
I certainly “ain’t” a poet like Ten
nyson or Frost,
And when it comes to meter, I find
that I am lost.
But if you’ll just be patient and
hear with me this time
I’ll try to give my “say-so” in very
simple rhyme.
To all you lovely new “Belles” at
Dear ole Saint Marie,
You surely chose the “bestest”, and
I think you all agree.
Of course matriculation and those
tests were quite a pain.
But pity on the seniors who nearly
went insane!
The fashion show was lots of fun
and Oakley—what a sight!

Beckoning Belles
As many of our readers probably know, the Headlines Staff of the
Belles is responsible for the news bulletin board which is located in the
basement of Smedes. This board contains notices of the most important
news events for the day. Because the Belles is a campus newspaper it
does not contain current world events; therefore, it keeps the students
up-to-date in matters of the news of the world through this bulletin board.
Many of the students at St. Alary’s receive their hometown newspapers
which they read regularly, but these are not always sufficient. They often
omit major news events because their facilities are inadequate to handle
such matters; therefore, students must find time to read fuller accounts
of the news. Time is always something which college students lack be
cause their studies and outside activities seem to completely fill the day.
Although handicapped in this way, everyone must try to keep up with the
news. An educated person is greatly respected, but an educated and
up-to-date person has a larger storage of knowledge.
Since this is an election year we should pay special attention to national
affairs. Of course, none of the students will be able to vote this year, but
the majority of them will vote in the next election. Our voting privilege
is something of which all Americans are proud, and it is also something
which is greatly misused. Everyone is urged to vote, but many fail to
do so. The ever-present question pertaining to voting is would it be better
not to vote or to vote unintelligently. Of course, everyone should vote,
and they should vote intelligently. In order to do this they must be aware
of both platforms. This can be accomplished only by reading the pros
and cons of the issues in the nation’s leading newspapers.
The Belles furnishes news of campus activities and headlines of the
news of the world and nation. Pick up where the Belles leaves off by mak
ing it a habit to familiarize yourself with the details behind its helpful
hints.
The Old-girl, New-girl party was
the climax Friday night.
Saturday—to lunch and “flick” or
over to the Hill;
And Sunday’s picnic in the gym just
seemed to fit the bill.
Monday morning’s classes got the
“grind” well under way.
With each day’s assignment, there’s
not much time for play;
But history, and English Lit., and
chemistry, and math
We’re told are basic stepping stones
uj)on the learning path.
We all fuss and gripe about the
work that must be done
But, ’though it may seem doubtful,
school really can be fun.
The rules and regulations are of
ten hard to see.
But nothing really changes our
love for St. Mario!

OF ST. MARY’S
School has started once again.
The art students prowl the campus
seeking suitable material for their
budding talent and a discordant
conglomeration of notes pours forth
from the music building. The M.
B.W.’s (mail box watchers) are
back in their usual haunts, and
chapel caps and books tranform
“beach cats” into “study bums.”
St. Mary’s has come back to life.

I was asked to name three col
lective nouns one day in English.
By sheer strength alone I resisted
answering flypaper, wastebasket,
and vacuum cleaner. Oh, for just
a little courage!
It is a known fact that boys run
after girls and an accepted theory
that girls run after boys. If both
of these statements are correct then
it seems to me that sooner or later
we are all going to run into ....
who’s wearing armor?
When the steel workers went on
strike, I bet they never dreamed
they would be delaying the progress
of a female institution.
Dr. Smedes has been roaming
about. He was last seen talking to
some clown on 2nd West. He also
left two campus slips on 2nd Holt.
Wonder who got these, counselors?
Second Holt received quite a set
back when Jimmy Capps publiciz
ed the fact that only the girls’
mothers loved them.
First Student—“Great Scott! I’ve
forgotten who wrote Ivanhoe.”
Second Student—“I’ll tell you if
you’ll tell me who the dickens
wrote Olivers Twist.”
