Mrs. Carey, Noted Author And Lecturer,
Entertains St. Mary^^s Student Body
The St. Mary’s student body as
sembled in the auditorium on Tues
day night, October 23, to hear Mrs.
Ernestine Gilbreth Carey, noted
author and lecturer. Airs. Carey
was introduced by Dr. Nell Hersch-
burg who attended Smith College
with the novelist. Airs. Carey’s
books include the famed Cheaper
By The Dozen, Jumping Jupiter,
and Kings Around Us.
Airs. Carey began her speech by
noting that this was her first trip
to Raleigh, but she has good reason
to feel at home in this city because
her mother spoke here, her brother
once lived here, and^ her younger
brother went to UNC. Her talk
dealt primarily with the effect her
books have on those around her. For
example, parents are liable to
sciuirm if their children write
about them. This was true in the
case of the Gilbreth and Carey fam
ilies. Cheaper By The Dozen made
the children realize that their pa
rents were once young, and they
clamor to hear more stories about
the twelve children.
By retelling the adventures
shared with her family Airs. Carey
remembered many other amusing
incidents which were not printed in
her books. One such incident oc
curred on a family tour of a factory.
After being warned to watch their
manners, the children laughed at
the peculiar habits of their guide.
Their parents were greatly embar
rassed and rushed them through the
tour. Another amusing incident
arose when photographers came to
take pictures of the Gilbreth family
after their parents finished an in
vention. Airs. Carey completely
over-shadowed the other children
because of her original sweater. The
most amusing incidents in her youth
occurred when the girls had dates.
Her younger brothers were really
pests. One brother said to her hus-
band-to-be, “Will you marry Ern
estine? We have so many sisters
here.” .
Airs. Carey explained the trials
of first seeing your life presented in
movie-version. The family wanted
to be laughed with and not to be
laughed at. She had a great fear
as to how she should meet Clifton
Webb. Upon doing so, she merely
said “Hello Dad.”
In discussing the hazards of a
small family Airs. Carey stated
that more incidents arise in a larger
family; therefore, the troubles of
one person are not over-emphasized.
She also said that parents are still
learning things about life and that
the most exciting experiences are
the sinijilest ones. In closing Airs.
Carey pointed out that ong can
never understand how or why young
people feel the way they do unless
one is with them.
The audience thoroughly enjoyed
this talk by Airs. Carey. Her poise
and charm seemed to radiate into
the hearts of all those jiresent, and
the audience recognized the fine
merits of this talented person.

“As the Circle symbolizes unity
so the purpose of this organization
shall be to promote a spirit of co
operation among the students bv
the cultivation of high ideals o“f
service, fellowship, citizenship, and
scholarship, and to assist new stu
dents in finding their places in
school life and activities.” This
quotation is taken from the hand
book. The members of the Circle
have been recognized as leaders of
this school in such things as scho
larship, personality, etc. All mem
bers are elected, and to attain mem
bership is to receive supreme recog
nition.
Several times a year the Circle
“walks” in order to induct new
members. The date of the walking
is kept secret; the time is always
midnight. Each member carries a
candle, and assemble in a circle
with the president in the center. She
lights the candle of each new mem
ber. Following the ceremony the
members “walk” around the cam
pus.
The Circle tapped two new mem
bers on Thursday night, October 18.
They are Katy Copp from South
Bend, Indiana, and Coleman Jenk
ins, from Kinston. Besides being

ernment Association, Katty is a
